The Cataloupe 3 is at anchor offshore from the resort. Smaller boats have brought guests back and forth, with some passengers leaving the ship to stay at the resort. Others will join the ship when it leaves in a few days. The usual way to communicate with the island is by ship or by air from the one airstrip.
Sasha has seen Bruno’s helicopter leaving and arriving several times, no doubt bringing wealthy friends Bruno has invited to the casino.
Mitzi and Sasha are sitting at the resort’s office, with Mitzi still worried about the safety of some of the youthful passengers. Candy has agreed to let Lucinda sign up for a trip that Mitzi thinks may be dangerous. Ever since Nero formed the Mousecateers, Lucinda has been so happy to play with her new friends, and she has participated in all their activities on board. Nero has given them all regular fitness training, but they have no real-life experience in a jungle.

If anything should happen to Lucinda, Candy would be devastated. After Mitzi rescued Amber Leaf from the swimming pool, Candy thought Mitzi would always look after her kittens. But Mitzi has her own duties. While onshore, she will be guiding groups of passengers to the caves, so she won’t be able to go on an inland expedition.
Sasha has been charged with security for passengers during the few days they will spend at Dream Island. At least he will have the resort’s security personnel to back him up.
The expedition to the interior won’t be leaving for a few days, so they have time to make sure the youngsters are fully prepared. Nero is always willing to learn and accept guidance, so Sasha is confident that they will be alright. After all, they will have an experienced Dream Island tour guide overseeing the party. He feels that Mitzi is too concerned.
