Thomas and Mary talked about their adventure in the dinosaur land. It was agreed that the next time, they would take a few snacks, a first aid kit, extra torches, a lighter, and a bag along in case they needed to bring something back.
Thomas tried to remember what his parents liked most so that he could decide where to explore next. He remembered that his mother loved the sea. Would they have gone on a sailboat?
Mary and Thomas decided to check out a book on seas and oceans. Together, they stepped into a storybook about seas for children. They could not mark a tree next to the door this time because they had directly stepped into a large ship.
It felt strange because they were not used to traveling on a ship, and both of them felt nauseous. They sat down, hoping that they would not be found by someone. After a while, they walked towards the deck and found the ship's crew, who were busy trying to dock the ship near some strange land. Thomas and Mary waited for the crew to get off, and they decided to search the ship. The rooms were small, and Mary understood that this was the ship of a small trader who bought and sold spices.
Thomas had darted off into rooms for the sailors, and he came back with a small photo and showed it to Mary. It was the picture of a man and a woman who were smiling, and beneath it was written - Mr. and Mrs. Paul. Thomas told Mary excitedly that his father's name was Paul. The photo looked crumpled, and they kept it in a small purse. Thomas wondered where they could have left and how they were on the ship in the first place. A lot of questions remained unanswered. They heard footsteps and decided to hide.
Two men walked past them but could not see them hiding behind a deck chair. The men were talking about how they helped the couple escape the giant bird that was chasing them. Mary and Thomas wanted to talk to them, but felt it was not safe as they did not know if it was a trap or not.
Mary signalled to Thomas to keep quiet and go back to the door as the saolirs could overpower them, and then it would be difficult to return to the real world. They waited for the men to walk away, and suddenly they heard them talking about a lady and a child being spotted on the CCTV but now disappeared. Mary felt uneasy and saw one of the men smiling evilly. She had the gut feeling that the men were not good.
After a while, the men gave up and walked away to eat dinner, and then Thomas stood up to see if the deck was empty. To his relief, he could see the door just behind him, and he grabbed Mary's hand and stepped out. One of the sailors tried to catch Mary, but he could only grab her shoe. Thankfully, she was able to step out too. There goes my new shoe, she thought.
Thomas said that she would get a new one soon. He took her hand and stepped into one of the fashion magazines and asked her to try shoes. Mary was very happy and chose a pair and they returned quickly.
They were making progress. Now, they had a photograph. Thomas sat down and looked at it for a long time. He wondered if they had missed him too.
