DJ's Diaper Diaries: Part Ten- The Cruise ----------------------------------------- Day 1 The next two days was a flurry of activities, and we were taken out to get clothes for the trip and other things done. "Everyone ready to go on a trip!?" my dad called as he walked through the door. This of course set my brothers off again, and they started bouncing off the walls again. "All right you two, cool your jets some," My dad laughed as he went up to my mom, and kissed her. "Now c'mon Dad, that's how all the rest of us got started," Dan said as he came into the room. My dad ignored the comment and continued his greeting to my mom. "Dan, why don't you and DJ get all this stuff taken out, and loaded into the car," my mom said as my dad headed up to get a shower and change clothes. Forty-five minutes later he was back downstairs and double checking everything. "Does anybody need a diaper change before we leave?" my mom called as we headed for the front door. "OK, everyone into the car then." she added when my younger brothers, and I responded that we didn't. Dan got last-minute instructions as to how to contact us if needed as we headed out to the car. Five minutes later we were on our way. After stopping for a quick bite to eat outside of Springfield we were back on the road and made it to our hotel in St. Louis shortly after midnight. "C'mon boys it's time to get up. We're at the hotel now," my Mom called sleepily trying to wake us up. While Donn and I woke up enough to walk into the hotel Paul was so out of it my dad ended up having to carry him in. We soon found ourselves in our room, and after a quick diaper change we all turned in knowing that the next day was going to be a long day of traveling. Day 2 "Time to get up, boys!" my dad called. "UGGHHH." Both Donn, and I mumbled as we turned over trying to get some more sleep. "None of that now, we have to get going, or we'll miss our flight." With this said my dad preceded to tilt the bed to a forty-five degree angle causing Donn, Paul and myself to slide into a heap against the wall next to us. "Wha! Huh!" I exclaimed in a confused voice trying to figure out what happened. "It's time to get up. Now go into the bathroom, strip off those dirty diapers, and get a quick shower you each have ten minutes to be back out here getting dressed." Since I was the most awake I went to get my shower first. I came back out with just a few minutes to spare. Donn jumped into the shower right after me. "OK, DJ, lay down, and spread 'em," my mom called pointing to our bed as I walked back into the main area of our room. Seeing that my mom planned to diaper me I started to protest, but this was short-lived. "Listen DJ, we're short on time, and don't have time to argue. Now get your butt over here." I just nodded at this and did as I was requested. Mom finished getting me diapered, and my dad tossing me my clothes just as Donn came out of the bathroom, allowing Paul to get his shower. Inside of twenty minutes of getting woken up all of us were showered, diapered, and dressed. "Now I want you guys just to choose something light and quick," my mom told us as we headed to the hotel's coffee shop. we all nodded at this. My dad joined us a few minutes later after getting us checked out. "The desk clerk said the shuttle bus to the airport should be here in about half an hour," my Dad said as he sat down. We ate quickly and found ourselves walking out of the hotel just as the shuttle pulled up. I helped get the luggage out of the our as my mom got my brothers situated in the bus. We got to the airport just fifteen minutes before our flight was to be called. We had to run like the wind to get to the gate in time, and made it just as they were making the final call for it. "Boy, talk about cutting it close," I mumbled as we got took our seats. My parents just nodded at this. "So, you're back again, are you?" I heard as I was dozing off. "Huh?" I mumbled as I halfway opened one eye to see who was talking to me. I then realized that this was the same stewardess from the flight I was on to camp the previous year. I just sort of smiled to her as I drifted back off to sleep. The next thing I know my mom is shaking me saying we just landed in Miami. As we walked of the plane we noticed several people standing by a person in a Disney Cruise Line jacket. We headed over there and confirmed this is to where we were supposed to be. After the entire plane was empty our guide asked for our attention. "Ladies, and Gentlemen, I'm James, and I'll be your escort till we reach the ship. If you'll follow me we'll get your bags picked up and loaded on the bus for the trip to the docks." With this said James started off with a group of about 60 people behind him, most of those being kids ranging in age from late teens to toddlers. I was impressed by the airport. It was the first one that I had heard for that you need to use a Monorail system just to get from one building to the other. Just as we got to the baggage claim area Paul started fidgeting." "What is it?" my mom asked. "I need to be changed," Paul stated softly. "Can it wait till we get to the ship?" "I'm not sure." "OK. Hold on for a moment." With that she leaned over to my dad, and whispered something to him which he just nodded. Just as she started to head Paul off to the rest room I heard a muffled fart coming from Paul, and knew from the look on his face he didn't make it. I had to feel sorry for him because I knew from experience what this was like. After seeing where my mom was headed Donn joined her and Paul. Luckily, I didn't have this problem since I had my mom put a doubler in to my diaper when she diapered me back at the hotel. We just finishing getting the bags on the bus when my mom, and brothers showed back up. After giving James the Vouchers for the bus ride we got on board, and took our seats. I started talking with the guy next to me as the bus started moving. "You excited about all this?" I asked. "Not really, I really wanted to go on another cruise than this one, but my parents went with this one because they felt it would be more entertaining for my little brother," he replied. "Yeah, I know what you mean. That's happened a lot with my family as well. By the way, I'm DJ," I told him while holding out my hand. "Rob," he replied. "I hope this thing isn't going to be as lame I feel it's going to be," Rob stated "I wouldn't worry about it. It'll probably get better," I replied. Rob changed the conversation from there. By the time we reached the docks we had exchanged both regular, and E-mail addresses. "Man, look at the size of that thing," Donn said as we neared the ship. "Yeah, it looks like a big one all right," I told him jokingly. After getting our bags out of the bus we headed into the terminal. It took us about ninety minutes to finally get on board the ship, and even then we ended up needing another twenty minutes looking for our cabins. "This has got to be a mistake," I said when we finally found our cabin. To me this looked like a toddlers' room. All three of the bunks in it had rails on them, as well as, Mickey Mouse sheets. Though I had to admit that the sheets matched the wallpaper exactly. On setting my bag down on my bed I heard a slight noise, and by running my hand over the bed I confirmed that the bed had a plastic sheet on it, not that this was at all surprising. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm going over to mom's, and dad's cabin to find out what the hell is going on," I told my brothers. It was then that I heard the chuckling behind us. "You know honey, the room is even cuter that the photo the travel agent showed us," my mom chuckled. "Yeah, it is, isn't it," my dad answered. "Once you guys are done laughing, would you tell me why you had them put us in a toddlers' room?" I asked in a miffed tone. my dad decided to handle the answer. "The travel agent offered us a special deal on a cabin like this when we told them that you'd be needing the plastic sheets, and such. So, don't complain since there's nothing we can do about it now." I shook my head at this, but knew that it would be pointless to argue about it and take a chance on ruining the trip. About ten minutes later we were in our parents' cabin deciding which excursions we wanted to do when we made port calls. A couple of minutes into this the ship's loud speaker announced that we would be leaving port in fifteen minutes. This caused me and my brothers to finish our fight quickly since all of us wanted to see this. Within thirty minutes we were away from the dock and slowly moving out to sea. With this done my brothers, and I decided to walk around the ship a little before they had the Lifeboat Drill. "Attention Passengers. The Captain requests that all return to their cabins and await the beginning of the Lifeboat Drill. Thank You." At this I herded my brothers back to our cabin. no sooner had we arrived did the alarms start going off for it. "Geez!!" I muttered still trying to get my breath back. I could see that Donn and Paul were just as startled as I was. Without pausing I turned Paul, and Donn back around toward the rapidly filling hallway I stopped long enough to grab the life vests the were in the closet and tossed one each to my brothers. They were a bit overwhelmed by this, and because the fact they couldn't see our parents. It was all I could do to reassure them that we would meet up with them at our rally point. But thinking that if they were this rattled over not seeing them during a drill I would hate to see what it would be like if for some reason this became the real thing. As expected we met up with our parents at the rally point, and began cooling our heels for the next forty minutes. "Now that wasn't so bad was it?" My mom asked as we headed back to our cabins. "Easy for you to say. I pissed myself when they set off those crazy alarms," This of course got my parents chuckling. "Well it's a good thing you had one on with what you did then huh?" my dad said in answering. I didn't even bother giving him a reply to this. By this time we were back at our cabin, and opening the door. "OK, drop your shorts and lay down," My parents told all three of us. "What for?" Paul piped in. The look my mom gave him told him all he needed to know of what she thought of that statement. I just smiled at this because to me it was obvious what she was meaning. with a quick glance at my brothers as they took their shorts off I could tell they were in need of a change as much as I was. While my dad went about getting the changing supplies my mom started stripping off our diapers. It was then that I noticed the diaper pail in the corner of the room. After getting us all wiped down and lotioned and powdered my dad handed us the new swim diapers they picked up before we left. I was grateful that they didn't see me remove the "kiddie" style ones they had packed, and replaced them with the normal ones. after pulling these on, I put on my other swimming trunks. While the Swim diaper looked like a pair of Speedo type trunks and could be worn by themselves I felt it would be better if I had on some sort of "camouflage" just in case. My brothers, though, decided to just wear the swim diapers by themselves. I couldn't really blame them on this point since they didn't have the same problem I did. "Okay boys, time to go get ready for dinner," my dad called about ninety minutes later. On hearing this I started to get out of the pool, but as usual I ended up having to go back in after my brothers when they chose to ignore my father's calling. Luckily for them he didn't press this. We got back to our cabin a few minutes later. "You guys are lucky there were other people around when you guys decided to ignore dad calling us," I told them as I striped out of my trunks and jumped in to the shower for a quick rinse down to get all the salt water out of my hair. "Before either one of you get dressed go jump in the shower, and rinse off," I announced as I came out of the bathroom. "Why, we just got out of the pool?" Paul whined. "Because you were swimming in salt water, it'll cause your hair to turn green if you don't, also make sure to rinse your trunks out also," I said, as I pushed both of them towards the bathroom. After making sure that they were actually doing what I told them to I set about getting a fresh diaper on and getting dressed for dinner, as well as setting out fresh diapers for Donn and Paul along with the rest of their dinner clothes. "Do we really have to wear these?" Donn said when he noticed what I had laid out. "Yes you do, or they won't let you into the dining room. Now lay down," I told him plainly as I pushed him on to his bed. just as I was starting to unfold his diaper my mom can into the room through the door connecting our two cabins. Without a word she laid Paul out on his bed, and preceded to diaper him like I was in the process of doing with Donn. As soon as both of them were diapered we just threw them their pants, and told them to hurry up and get dressed. We arrived at the dining room just as they opened it up to begin seating. The Maitre 'd escorted us to our table that first night. As we neared our table I noted that another family was going to be sharing it with us. After seating my mother we were introduced to the Jamerson's, the other family that would be sharing our table with us. After the Maitre 'd left, Mr. Jamerson introduced himself and his family to us formally, and I soon found out that the father was an Associate Professor of Pathology at John Hopkins. He and I seemed to hit it off great, though I think some of our conversations tended to leave everyone else a bit queasy. I also learned that Anne, his wife, was a high school administrator, and judging from the look I caught from the couple's daughter, Shelly, I could tell which school she worked at. Aside from their daughter, the Jamerson's had also brought their 13-year-old twin sons Matt and Mike. Dinner progressed rapidly, with the normal chatter between every one. I seemed to hit things off Dr. Jamerson, as well as Shelly. "Would any of you care for dessert?" Aaron, our head waiter asked after the dishes from our main course had been cleared from the table. "I'll have the Baked Alaska," I replied after having taken a second look at our menu. Aaron just nodded to at this. "I'd like the cherries Jubilee," Donn, stated. "I will, too," Paul answered quickly. I just smiled at this because I knew that neither of my brothers had any idea of what was going to happen with their desserts. While my parents and Dr. and Mrs. Jamerson passed on dessert Shelly, Mike and Matt all ordered the Bownies a'la Mode. After a few minutes of further conversation Aaron and Mikhail, his assistant, came back with our orders. I caught Shelly's attention and motioned towards my brothers just as Aaron set down their dessert. What my brother hadn't noticed was the little Butane fire starter in Aaron's other hand, and what happened next made me wish I had my camera on me. Whoof!! Both Donn, and Paul jumped a good six inches off of their seats when Aaron lit off the Jubilee to warm it slightly. If their diapers weren't wet before this I knew they certainly must be now. This cause everyone at our table to break out in laughter, except of course for Donn and Paul. It was all I could do to stay in my seat I was laughing so hard. "Oh, geez you guys should have seen the look on your faces when Aaron lit off your desserts," I stated while wiping the tears from my eyes. "That wasn't very funny," Paul mumbled. "Sure it was, at least it was from where I'm sitting it was," I replied. "You could have at least warned us he was going to do that." Donn added. "What, and miss the expressions on your faces. I'm just sorry I didn't have a camera with me. Dan would have gotten a real kick out of this." I dropped the subject right after this. Dinner ended a short time later. "How would you like to go to the late show in the Galleria?" Dr. Jamerson asked my parents as we were getting up from dinner. "We'd love to. We were headed that way anyway," my mom replied. As we were walking out I got some last-minute instructions. "OK, DJ, Donn, and Paul, can stay up for an other 45 minutes then they're to head to bed. After they're in bed you can go over to one of the teen lounges for a while if you want," I was told. Shelly had been given similar instructions and we decided to meet and go out lounge hopping. Just be for I left to meet up with Shelly I told Donn, and Paul that if any emergency came up to have either myself or our parents paged over the ship's intercom. After doing a quick diaper changed I headed out the door and locked it behind me. "So which club do you want to hit first?" I asked when I linked up with Shelly in the ship main Veranda. "Well they have a Retro club that has a 60's, and 70's theme up on C deck, how about we start there," she suggested. "Sounds good to me," I told her as we went off to find the club she mentioned. Over the next several hours we talked about our hobbies and what our schools were like, and just listened to the music. A few times I got cornered into a Karoake contest they had started shortly after we got there. "C'mon lets dance," Shelly prompted when the DJ announced this was the last song. "That's OK, I don't dance," I told her trying to talk my way out of it. "There's nothing to it on a slow dance, just sway to the music," Shelly replied as she pulled me onto the dance floor. I went along with this so I wouldn't cause a scene. After a moment or two I got into it, and hadn't noticed that Shelly's hand had moved a bit farther south than when the dance started. At least I hadn't noticed this until I felt her hand tighten slightly over one side of my diapered ass. "Oh, shit! This is a hell of a way for her to find out about this," I thought to myself bracing for the scene that I figured was going to be coming soon. I was more than slightly shocked when I saw Shelly smile slightly, and cup my ass even harder than before. When she kissed me a moment later my heart skipped a beat, but I was more than willing to return the kiss. My heart really started doing flip flops when she put her head on my shoulder, and whispered "I bet you look really cute in that diaper. I wouldn't mind seeing you in it some time." The song ended a few moments later and we left the club. "What are you guys doing back so early?" I asked as I saw my parents coming up to there cabin just as I was coming up to mine. I was kind of puzzled at the looks on their faces until my mom spoke up. "I think the real question, young man is, what are you doing out so late?" "What do you mean? You said you wanted me in by 12:30pm, and it's only a few minutes after that," I replied still a bit confused. "You better check your watch then, because it's currently about a quarter of three," My dad added. With this I double checked my watch, and then showed it to my parents. "DJ, you forgot to reset the time. You still have it set on Kansas time," my mom added in an exasperated tone. On hearing this I apologized, and entered my cabin and started getting undressed and changed into one of the Molicare diapers my mom packed for when my brothers and I were asleep. I was surprised to find my arms wrapped around Tigger when I woke up later that morning. I hadn't even aware that my parents had packed him. "Time to get up, boys," my mom called as she walked into our cabin. I got up without any problem, but as expected both of my brothers were fighting this. Instead of fighting with them over this she pulled their blankets off them, and preceded to change them out of their night diapers. While my Mom handled Donn, I changed Paul. by the time were had them out of their night diapers they both were mostly awake. With this they were sent in to the bathroom to get a quick shower. As soon as they were both done with their showers I stripped of my own night diaper, and jumped in to get my own shower. My brothers were just finishing putting their shoes on when I came back out and started getting dressed myself. Inside of fifteen minutes we were approaching a table out on deck where the Jamerson's were waiting for us. "Well, DJ, I'm surprised to see you awake at this time of the morning. considering how late you and Shelly were out last night," Dr. Jamerson joked as I sat down. I just nodded at this with a smile. I did, however, notice that both Mike and Matt were looking at mine and my brothers' shorts, and giggling. From this behavior I suspected that my parents had told Shelly's parents about my brothers and my little problem. This was confirmed when we all sat down to eat after getting our meals from the buffet, and my parents started talking about it. I didn't really mind this since Shelly had already found out about them, and I told her briefly about it on the way back to our cabins the previous night. Donn and Paul, on the other hand, weren't that amused by this. "What I find so hard at times like this is finding a way to get the boys changed when they need it," my Mom stated. I had zoned a bit from lack of sleep and hadn't caught the first part of the conversation. "Well, if it helps Mrs. Morrison, I wouldn't mind taking charge of handling DJ's changes," Shelly piped in out of the blue. This caused me to start choking on the juice I was taking a drink of when she said this. It also started a lively little discussion between her and her parents. "Well, it's not like DJ has anything I haven't seen before when getting Mike and Matt diapered for bed," Shelly mentioned a short way into the fight. This also had the effect of getting her brothers to stop chuckling like they had been softly doing since this line of conversation to begin. To save the peace Shelly apologized a few minutes later. Though, I did notice that while her mouth was saying that all this was a joke her eyes were saying something entirely different. Since my parents and the Jamerson's were planning on taking some of the onboard tours the ship was offering, and both mine and Shelly's brothers were set up in the young teen activities for the day, Shelly and I were left to our own devices to find entertainment. We ended up spending most of our time in either one of the Teen Lounges, or the Arcade. "How, about we go take a swim?" Shelly asked midway through one of my diaper changes. "Sure, sounds like fun.", I replied, "if you look in the took dresser drawer, on the left you'll find a pair of swim diapers." Shelly just nodded at this and went to look were I told her to for the swim diapers. I was more than a bit startled to see her come back with the kid print ones. "Damn, I thought I made sure I left those at home," I muttered as Shelly started to slip them up my legs. "Oh now, don't be like that. I think you look cute in them," She said with a laugh. I just gave a sheepish grin in return. I did, of course insist on wearing my normal trunks over them and explained why. Shelly was understanding of this, and a moment later we headed off to the pool. The rest of the afternoon went by quickly, and I was soon heading back to my cabin to meet with the rest of my family. Shelly, of course did keep her promise from breakfast about making sure I was kept in dry dydees all day. I will say, though, that I'm glad that neither my brothers or parents came back to the cabin during some of these changes, or we both would have been having a lot of explaining to do. My parents, brothers and I all met back at our cabins to get ready for dinner and compare what we all did during the day. My parents were glad to hear that I didn't spend my entire day in the cabin like they thought I would end up doing. As it was the night before the Jamerson's had asked if my parents wanted to join them for the evening show which they accepted. For a while I thought maybe my parts had forgotten about the night before, and me and Shelly would be free to take in the night life again. This line of thought was to be short-lived though. "DJ, your father, and I had talked it over, and we've decided that for the remainder of the trip you're to be in bed no later than 10:30pm," I was informed over dessert. "Mo-om, did you have to bring that up here, and now?" I replied in an embarrassed tone, though I did catch Dr. and Mrs.. Jamerson smiling at bit at this. Since Shelly and her brothers weren't doing anything I could tell that Shelly probably got something like this herself. "Would it be okay then if Shelly and her brothers came over to play some games or something?" I asked. "That would be fine, but still, you have to be in bed by 10:30pm," my dad answered I just nodded at this and looked over to Shelly to see if she was interested in my offer; she just nodded at this. We got the time set up as we were headed back to our cabins. To save time later on I went ahead and got both Donn, and Paul ready for bed right when we got to the cabin. This, of course, didn't go over very well with them. "Why do we have to get ready for bed already?" Paul whined as I pulled out a couple of Molicare diapers for him and Donn. "Yeah, why?" Donn piped in. "Because it'll be a lot easier to do it now than when both of you are half asleep and cranky later on, and it's not like Shelly and her brothers don't know about us wearing diapers anyway," I informed them. I was just finishing up getting Donn diapered up when I heard a knock at the door. "Okay, that's probably them. Now I don't want any fights during the game, understood?" I stated. Both my brothers nodded at this. "Okay, put these on," I told Donn, and Paul as I tossed both of them a pair of PJ bottoms. I was a bit mean because I opened the door while they were still trying to get the bottoms on. "Now this makes me wish I had my camera with me," Shelly joked on seeing my brothers standing there with their pants only half way pulled up, and their diapers in plain view. Matt and Mike also got a chuckle from this, but didn't say anything else, which was a good thing because I could tell that both of them were diapered as well. The next few hours passed quickly. I also had lost track of time as I tend to at times like this, till I heard a knock on our door. "Yes?" I asked as I opened the door. "Room Service, sir. I have the three bottles that were requested for this cabin," The waiter said. "I'm sorry, I think you have the wrong room. We didn't make any order," I replied. This started a slight argument between me and the waiter. "No, sir. I have the right room. Here's the receipt," He stated clearly trying to keep his temper. After taking the receipt and looking over I saw that I was wrong, and that my parents must have set this up without telling me. "I'm sorry I gave you the hard time. I apparently was in the wrong," I told him as I took the bottles and handed him a Five dollar bill for a tip to make up for the trouble I gave him. he just nodded at this, and left. I saw Shelly standing behind me with a smile on her face when I turned around with the bottles in my hand. Before I could say anything, Matt, and Mike started giggling at this. Shelly stopped this cold with her next statement. "C'mon guys, we need to get back to our cabin now since your own bottles will be arriving soon." Both of her brothers turned red at this and got up to leave. "Now I want you to be a good boy, and drink all your ba-ba, or I'll be very cross at you in the morning," Shelly told me while cupping a hand to my own diapered rear and giving me a kiss. "Don't worry, mommy, I will," I replied with a chuckle once we broke the kiss. Day 3 "Okay boys, time to get up," my mom called as she and my dad came into our cabin the next morning. "UHHH," I replied while turning over when my mom tried shaking me awake. "We don't have time for this, DJ. You need to get up now so we can get something to eat before the day starts." I was told while my mom flipped me over on to my back, and started to remove my extremely heavy diaper. Once she got do removing it I was ushered into the bathroom and had a shot of cold water sprayed on me. "HEY!! What the!!! Damn, that's cold!!" I shouted over my mom's laughter. "All right, I'm awake already!" I swore as I reached to turn the hot water on. "That was a really mean way to wake me up you know that don't you?" I told my mom as I came out of the bathroom a few minutes later. "I know, but it was the only way I could think of to get you to wake up quickly. Now lay down so I can get you diapered," my mom replied as she pushed me back onto my bed. I was just finished getting dressed just as Donn and Paul came out from getting their own showers. My dad, and I got them diapered up and dressed while my mom went back to my parent's cabin to finish getting dressed herself. "You boy's already to see the sights?" my parents asked as we sat down after getting our breakfast. This was the one thing that truly surprised me about the trip so far. Normally I was a very light eater at breakfast, but with all the fresh air I was getting I was eating like a horse at breakfast. "I'd be even more ready if you'd tell us what we were going to be doing today," Donn stated. "Don't worry about it, you'll enjoy it," my mom told him. A few minutes later The Jamersons joined us. After having greeted my parents and brothers Shelly came around to where I was sitting, and gave me a quick kiss before sitting down herself. "Did you make a happy ba-ba for mommy last night?" Shelly asked as she was giving the kiss. I just nodded in response to this and smiled. I then noticed my parents giving me a slightly disapproving look. I all did was shrug at this, but knew that I would probably hear a lecture over this later on. Shelly's parents didn't even bat an eye to all this. The small talk went on for a little while longer when the ship's P.A. system announced that we would be docking in twenty minutes. "Mom, would it be OK for me to go up to the bow and watch us pull into port?" "Sure go ahead," my mom laughed at my barely concealed excitement at this. "But take Donn and Paul with you," my dad added as I was getting up. I nodded to this and motioned for my brothers to follow me. I heard Shelly as her parents say the same thing just as I was walking off. I slowed down some to allow for her, Matt and Mike to catch up. We made it up to the top deck just as we were starting to pull into port. It was interesting to see all the cabs, and such lining the dock waiting for people to disembark from the ship. After watching this go on for a few minutes we headed back to our cabins. "Okay, boys, drop your shorts," my dad called as we got to our cabin. My brothers started to take some offense to this, but I knew this was going to probably happen, so I complied with my father's request, besides I was in need of a changing anyway. Within 10 minutes all three off us had been changed and were being herded back to the main deck so we could leave the ship. It was during our diaper change that Donn, Paul and I were told that my parents had set it up for us to take a tour of the island. What really got me going was seeing Shelly, and her family waiting for us when we got off the ship. To me this was going to make the tour even better. The tour of Freeport took about two and a half hours with a stop here and there to get a closer look at some of the sights. My brothers and I were worn out with all the running around we did at the stops during the tour. The rest of the afternoon was spent walking around town shopping. "Did you boys have fun on the tour today?" Dr. Jamerson asked us at dinner that night. "Yeah, I had a blast!" I replied. "It was fun," Donn and Paul answered, but I could tell that they weren't all that thrilled by the tour we took. Most of the dinner conversation consisted what the purchases mine and Shelly's mom made during the late afternoon shopping trip we did. "Pat, Kevin, I was wondering if you two, and DJ would like to join Shelly Jim, and I at one of the dance clubs in town tonight?" Mrs. Jamerson asked as we were finishing dessert. "We'd love to," my mom replied at once. "How about it, DJ?" my dad asked. "Sounds like fun to me," I told them. "Great, meet us at our cabin in about thirty minutes, and we'll go from there. We already have a sitter set up for Matt, and Mike so just bring Donn, and Paul with you, and they can just stay there tonight. "I'd like to thank you for inviting me to join you this evening," I told the Jamersons as we got back to the ship just before the curfew went into effect. "We were happy to have you," Dr. Jamerson told me. Shelly just smiled through all this, and once we got ready to split up to head back to our cabins she gave me her own version of a thank you, and good night. I have to admit that I really liked how she said goodnight. I was so bushed by the time my parents and I got back to our cabin that I didn't even remember getting into bed not to mention having my mom change me into my night time diaper. Day 4 "Mom, dad, I just thought I'd let you know I was u..." I started to tell them as I walked into their cabin before realizing that aside from my parents and brothers, Shelly and her family was there also. "Oh shit!" I mumbled as I quickly backed out of the room. "Sorry about that," I announced when I came back into the room ten minutes later wearing more than a T-shirt, and my night time diaper. "That's okay, DJ. You're not the first boy we've seen walk into a room wearing just a shirt and diaper," Mrs.. Jamerson chuckled. This got me turning a beet red, but I just nodded a reply to this anyway. "So, who's up to some breakfast?" my dad asked a few moments later changing the subject. All of us stated that we were, and we headed up to the pool area to get something to eat before they closed the buffet down. "What do you kids have planned for the day?" my parents asked after we sat down with our food. "I don't know. I was thinking of just lounging around the pool some and maybe taking in a movie later. "That sounds okay, but if you go see a movie we want you to take your brothers with you." My mom told me in a tone that said not to argue the point, so I didn't. After Breakfast was over I headed back to my cabin to change my diaper, and jump into my swimming trunks. I met up with Shelly and her brothers a little while later at the pool. Shelly and I spent most of the time in either the hot tub, or just stretched out in the deck chairs, while our brothers got into water fights in the pool. "Okay, you guys, if you want to see the movie we have to get back to the cabin now, and change," I called out to Donn, and Paul. "Aww, do we have to?" Donn called back. "Only if you want to see the movie," I stated as I started picking up my things. "Would you like to join us?" I asked Shelly while waiting for my brothers to dry off. "Sure sounds like fun." She answered with a grin. "Okay then, we'll meet up in what then about twenty minutes by the pursers desk?" "Sounds like a plan. I'll see you then," Shelly said as she gave me a light kiss on the cheek. We got to the theater just as they were starting the movie. It was really hard to concentrate on the movie with Shelly's hand constantly making trips up the leg of my shorts, but I managed. What was really funny about all this is her hand seemed to stay there the longest when she realized that I was wetting my diaper during one of these trips. When the movie ended I saw that I would have just enough time to get my brothers and myself changed before we had to meet up with my parents for lunch. "So, how was the movie?" My mom asked when we linked up with her, and my dad. "It was great," I told her with a straight face. I was lucky that she didn't ask any further questions about it since I wouldn't have a clue as to how to answer them because of mine, and Shelly's preoccupation "Hey DJ, how would you like to do some Skeet shooting after lunch?" Dr. Jamerson asked about halfway through the meal. "I'd love to," I replied excitedly. the look my mom gave me spoke volumes of what she thought of the idea. "But, I'll have to talk to my parents about it first," I added quickly. "I understand." apparently Dr. Jamerson had caught the look my mom had given me, and didn't press the subject. Nothing else was said about this till my parents, and I got back to our cabin. "Well, mom, can I accept Dr. Jamerson's invitation?" I asked as I sat down on the couch in the main room of their cabin. "Absolutely not!" "Why not?" I asked, fighting to keep my voice calm. "Because, I don't like guns, especially after what happened to Dan." "I can understand that that would have shook you up some, but this is nothing like that. there will be several people there to show me how to handle the gun safely," I told her. In the end it took me almost half an hour to talk her into letting me go. Little did I know what I was setting myself up for. Since it had taken me so long to talk my parents into this Dr. Jamerson, and I were two of the last shooters to go. I have to admit that it was exciting to see all the others trying their hands at this. "Next shooter!" the guy running the activity called. With this I handed over my ticket, and got some quick instructions of what to do. I have to say that I didn't do to be since I had never done this before. I managed to hit four of the seven Skeet offered to me. Dr. Jamerson on the other hand, showed how long he had been doing this by hitting all seven of his shots. The excitement really jumped up as we were walking away. For some reason the main spring on the device they use to catapult the skeet broke, and flew back into the shooter that was just getting ready for his turn. "AHHH!!" Dr. Jamerson and I both turned back at the yell of someone in pain. On seeing the shooter sprawled out on the deck bleeding from several place caused Dr. Jamerson to jump back over the rope they used to give the shooter a safety zone. "I'm a doctor," Dr. Jamerson stated as he knelt by the injured shooter. I mentioned that I had first aid training as I helped assess what was going on. While Dr. Jamerson took a look at the shooter's arm, I quickly pulled off my shirt and fashioned it into a compress and placed it over the gash in the guy's forehead. The ship's doctor showed up about five minutes later, and after giving him a rundown of the shooter's injuries Dr. Jamerson and I headed back to my cabin. It was then that I noticed that my chest and shorts were covered in blood, and that I was still holding the shirt that I was using as a compress before the ship's doctor placed one of his own over the gash. "OK, DJ, I want you to go in, and take a shower. I want you to use the hottest water you can stand, and wash several times. I just nodded dumbly at this, and did what I was told. After getting out of the shower I noticed that Dr. Jamerson had already placed all my bloody clothes in a plastic bag to be taken down to the ships sickbay so they could be properly disposed of. After being diapered and placed into bed, Dr. Jamerson left a note on my cabin door to my parents to see him before waking me up. Of course my mom heard of the incident and ignored the note that was left on my cabin door. "What am I going to do about this?!" my mom stated holding up the bag of blood drenched clothes. "I'm sorry mom. It just happened. I didn't even think of what was going on," I tried to tell her. It was then that what happened truly sunk in, and I just started shaking. On seeing this my mom's anger quickly faded, and came over to me. I must have shook in her arms for a good twenty minutes before finally falling asleep. "You feeling better now DJ?" Dr. Jamerson asked at dinner that night. "Yeah. I guess I'm just not used to seeing things like that for real just yet." "I can imagine, but I must say that you did quite well anyway. By the way, I learned from the ship's doctor that he'll be turning the guy over to the police when we reach Nassau tomorrow." "Why's that?" my mom asked. "Apparently the gentleman was stoned on cocaine when this happened." I could tell that this was the last thing my mom wanted to hear, and to be truthful I wasn't all that happy to hear it myself. "Before you say anything, let me tell you that I've already talked to the ship's doctor about this at length, and there is no hazard about the possibility of AIDS, or anything like that. He did say that if you'd like you can set up an appointment tomorrow and he would check DJ out." This seemed to calm both my parents down, but I still ended up getting a check up out of it anyway. I turned in right after dinner that night since I was still worn out from what had happened. this was the one time that I was glad that mom had packed Tigger with all our other stuff. Day 5 "Okay, boys, time to get up," my parents called as they walked into the room. I was still a bit out of it after what happened the day before. I knew this wasn't going to be something that I would forget anytime soon. I just stayed curled up in my bed holding Tigger while my brothers were stripped of their night time diapers and sent in to get showers. Once they came out my mom stripped me of my own diaper and sent me into get washed as well. I could tell she was still upset about what had happened the day before, but at least she was being nice enough not to say anything about it. "You guys hurry up, and get dressed. We have a very long day planned, so we need to get a hurry on things this morning," my dad told us as he finished closing the tapes on my diaper. My brothers and I just nodded to this, and did as we were told. We were leaving our cabins five minutes later to go get something to eat before the day started. As expected the Jamersons were already waiting for us when we got up to the deck. I thought it was kind of funny on seeing them. Shelly and her parents were all wide awake and talking while Matt and Mike looked like they were about to fall face first into their breakfasts. It got even better when we got closer, and I could tell that both of them had a diaper on under their shorts. I guess this really was going to be a long day if the Jamersons were having them wear protection. "How are you doing this morning, DJ?" Dr. Jamerson asked as we sat down. "Not bad, I guess. I'm still kind of shook up from yesterday," I replied. "Well, that's to be expected since you have no previous experience with something like that. Anyway, I'd like to thank you for your help with it. I'm not sure what the outcome would have been like if I had to handle it by myself." I just nodded at him in acknowledgment for his thanks. "You can slow down anytime you want, DJ." my mom laughed a few minutes later from how I was attacking my breakfast. "Sorry," I told her sheepishly, and slowed down how fast I was eating. I just really couldn't help it since the last thing I had to eat was at lunch the day before. Everyone broke up at seeing this. By this time mine and Shelly's parents started talking about what we each had planned for the day. After breakfast we had enough time to head back to the cabin for a quick diaper change before heading off the ship for the day. The tour we took of the island lasted about two hours and was breathtaking with the views we got of both the local vegetation, and architecture. My brothers and I got the biggest thrills out of seeing all the old Spanish Forts that lined the coast of the island. When we got to the dropoff point for the tour the driver gave Shelly's and my parents passes to the hotel's casino. Since we had two hours to kill the adults headed off to the casino they got passes for while Shelly, myself, and our brothers headed down to the beach. "Oh cool, they're offering Para-sailing rides. Want to try one. It'll be my treat?" Shelly asked excitedly. "Sure, I'll try anything once," I said chuckling. "What about you guys? I asked back to my brothers, Matt, and Mike. "Are you kidding? There's no way you're going to get me up in one of the contraptions," Donn replied with the other boys nodding in agreement. Shelly and I both got a big laugh at this. We had to wait about 45 minutes before our turns came up. Shelly all but jumped in to the harness when her time came. I got a big kick out of her antics on this. I had ended up getting some great shots of her on this, and just wished I could have done a video. Our parents showed up just as Shelly landed back on the beach. "I didn't think you were actually going to go through with it," Shelly's mom laughed as Shelly was taking the harness off. "Well, I told you I was going to give it a try if I had the chance. I'm surprised that you doubted it," Shelly answered with mock indignation. This of course got us all laughing again. "OK son, you're next," The guy running the stand announced while handing me the harness that Shelly had just taken off. "What does he mean 'you're next', DJ?" My mom asked. "Exactly that, I'm next. Shelly offered to get me a ticket, and it sounded like fun so I took her up on it," I told her as I was helped in to the harness, and attached to the parachute. "I don't want you to do this. I think you should reconsider this," my mom answered back. "Tell you what, Mom, You reconsider it for me, and tell me what you decided when I get back!" I laughed as the boat I was attached to took off. Soon I was traveling at about 45 miles an hour, and was up to a height of 200 feet. The ride lasted about fifteen minutes. My mom was till fuming when I landed. " Oh man that was fun, But I'm in serious need of a change!" I exclaimed. This got everyone laughing, my mom included. "I swear DJ, I sometimes don't know what you're going to do next," My mom said, still chuckling. "What can I say, I like to throw people curves every now and then. I just hope you got some pictures of it." We got back to the hotel parking lot just as one of the buses showed up to take people back to the docks. "OK, guys, you have three hours to catch a snack and a short nap before we have out next excursion," my parents told us as we got back to the ship. On hearing this I looked at my watch and saw that it was only eleven o'clock in the morning. For some reason it seemed like it was a lot later than it was. Shelly and I met back up on deck about 10 minutes later to have a light snack, and see about doing something before the next excursion started we already knew that we were on the same thing so this didn't cause a problem. "Hey, here's something that looks like fun," Shelly announced while pointing to the ad she saw. I looked over to see what she was pointing at, and saw the ad. "So you think you have some bony knees? Well, come and show them off in the Mr. Knobby Knees contest in the main Gallery at...." I stopped reading about then and looked up at Shelly." "You're shitting me, right?" I asked, but from the look I saw in her eyes I could tell she wasn't. "Why not. It looks like it would be fun." "Oh why the hell not," I stated after a few minutes of thought. Shelly laughed at this and grabbed my hand to drag me off to the gallery just so I wouldn't have the chance to back out of it. "Okay, folks, it's time to see who has the knobbiest knees aboard!" our cruise director announced. this got a lot of people shouting and whistling. After all of the guys willing to join in on this were lined up on stage our MC had one more thing to say. "Okay, now that we have our contestants, we need some judges. So ladies, who wants to come up here and try out some of these knees?" He asked. Needless to say it took longer to get the judges than it did to get the contestants. "C'mon honey, you can do it harder than that " I told the gal giving my knees a squeeze. I could tell she was having a hard time getting into the spirit of the game since she would hardly give my knees anything more than a light quick pinch. I guess this must come from her being a newlywed, and that it was her husband that put her up to doing this. "Oh yeah, that's better," I groaned loudly. This had the effect of getting the audience to laugh even harder. I would have to guess the guy laughing the hardest would have to have been her husband with Shelly coming in a close second. By the time the time the show ended I had come in a close second. Although I didn't win I had a very fun time doing this. "I'm not sure about you, Shelly, but I'm going to go take a nap before we have to get ready for the snorkeling trip," I said as we walked out of the gallery. Shelly just nodded to this and yawned a bit herself. "I know what you mean," she answered. We split up a shot while later and headed towards our own cabins. I wasn't at all surprised to see my brothers already lying down when I got there. After a quick diaper change I lay down in my bed and pulled Tigger in close to my chest. The next thing I knew my mom was shaking me. "DJ, wake your brothers up we have twenty minutes before we have to catch the boat for the snorkeling," I was told. I just nodded groggily at this and sat up. "Donn, Paul, it's time to get up. We have to be ready to go in 15 minutes," I told them as I shook their shoulders. Donn got up first and started heading for the shower. "Don't bother with a shower. Just use the diaper wipes to clean up," I told him as I tossed him the tub of wipes I just got done using. As expected both he and Paul opted to use just their swim diapers. I couldn't really blame them I thought they looked cute in them. I would have done this also, but I preferred to use my normal swim trunks over the swim diapers just in case I had to put them to use. We met up with my parents a few minutes later, and headed down to the boat launch. The Jamersons were already aboard when we got there. After giving us a quick safety rundown the boat's captain started it up, and we were on our way. It took about thirty minutes to get to the spot where we were going to do the snorkeling. "It's amazing how clear the water is," I told Shelly before we got into the water. "I know what you mean," she replied. Just as we lowered ourselves into the water a school of brightly colored fish came right on through. "Hey! Whoa!" I yelled while squirming around in the water. "What's the matter?" Shelly asked urgently. "A damned fish just swam up my shorts," I told her. This got her laughing so hard she ended up swallowing some sea water in the process. After a short while I put the waterproof camera I had with me back on the boat. Five minutes later I was wishing I hadn't because I soon spotted two hammerhead sharks swimming not five feet above the sea floor. I quickly got Shelly's attention and pointed to where I what I was looking at. For a moment I thought she was going to panic, but after putting a hand on her shoulder and signaling her to just float there she did, and we just enjoyed seeing what we were. Not long after that we had to head back to the ship. "You know, Shelly, it's a shame that I put my camera up when I did that would have made a great poster." "I know what you mean," came the reply. "What would have made a good poster?" my dad asked overhearing what I was telling Shelly. "The two sharks that swam right underneath our group," I told him. "What!?" "Yeah, we saw a couple of hammerheads swim right underneath us." "You're kidding, right?" "No. We really saw them, Mr. Morrison." Shelly stated. "Saw what?" Mrs. Jamerson asked. "DJ and Shelly are trying to tell me that they saw a couple of hammerhead sharks swim right through the area that our group was in," dad told her. "They probably did. This is a good area to spot them, and I asked the captain about it. He told me that this happens often," she replied. My dad dropped the subject after hearing this. After getting back to the ship, my brothers, and I each got a quick shower, and into a fresh diaper. I decided to take another short nap before dinner since it had been such a long day. After dinner My brothers and I headed over to spend the evening with Shelly and her brothers since my parents and hers decided to go ashore and hit the casino. Day 6 "Morning Mom. Morning Dad." I mumbled as I walked into their cabin the next morning. "Morning DJ, so nice of you to decide to join us," my dad kidded me. I just nodded to this as I sat down. "So what do you want to do today?" my mom asked me. "I don't know. I haven't seen the newsletter yet. I was thinking of just wandering around the ship, and maybe take a couple of tours they have offered," I replied while still half asleep. "Tell you what, why don't you go get cleaned up, and dressed then we'll go up and get some breakfast, and talk about it further," my dad said. I replied that this was a good idea, and headed off to do this. I stopped long enough on my way to the shower after having taken off my night time diaper to wake both of my brothers up. I was back in my parent's room about half an hour later, only this time I was fully dressed. We head up to get some breakfast from the buffet on deck as was our norm. Since we never ran into the Jamerson's I assumed that either they were sleeping in after being out so late the night before, or that they had already eaten. as we were eating my parents had decided to do some more shopping, and to just lounge around on deck all day to relax after all the running around we had been doing the last couple of days. I was in the mood to do the same thing. My brothers, on the other hand, joined in on some of the activities they had set up for the younger teens. "Are we going to be going ashore when we get to the island?" Donn asked as we were getting up from breakfast. "I don't think that would be such a bad idea," my mom commented "But, don't even think about asking about us going to the Luau they have planned for this evening," she added before either of my brothers could say another word. I started chuckling a bit by the looks they had on when my mom said this. After taking Donn and Paul back to the cabin for a quick diaper change we each headed off to do our own things. After having lounged around the swimming pool for a while, I decided to head back to the cabin and grab a short nap before the ship dropped anchor at the island we were headed to. A short time later a knock at the cabin door woke me up out of a sound sleep. "yes?" I asked sleepily as I opened the door. I was more than a little surprised to see one of the ship's officer standing there. "DJ Morrison?" he asked. "Yes, I'm him." "The Captain asked me to give this to you," he said as he handed me an envelope. "Thank you." I replied a bit perplexed by all this. "Good day," The Officer told me before walking off. After closing the door I stood in front of the mirror that was above the dresser trying to wake up a bit before opening the letter. It was then that I had noticed that while I was sleeping the shorts I had on had slipped down to expose the top third of the diaper I had on. I was almost certain the officer had to have seen this be was professional enough not to say anything about it. I turned back to the letter a moment later. Mr. Morrison, Your presence is requested, and required at the Gala Luau this evening, by order of the Captain. You will find tickets to this event enclosed with this letter. The dress is casual. The event starts promptly at 7:30pm. Sincerely yours, Gunther Enrich First Officer I was floored to have this letter presented to me, but didn't give it much more thought. After yawning a few more times I stripped off my wet diaper, and went in to get a shower before joining my parents, and brothers for lunch. "Mom, Dad, you're not going to believe what just happened," I told them as I sat down after having grabbed my lunch. "What's that, DJ?" my dad asked. "This," I said as I handed him the letter. "Is this some kind of joke?" He asked as he handed the letter to my mom. "I highly doubt it. It was one of the ship's officers that handed me the envelop this was in," I told them. "What's going on?" Donn piped in from his seat. "It seems that DJ has gotten tickets to that Luau tonight by orders of the ship's captain," Donn was told by my father. "Cool," Donn and Paul both stated on hearing this. After a few more minutes of running the letter around our conversation went on to other things. The rest of the afternoon was spent with my brothers, and I messing around in the pool, and taking another short nap since I knew this was going to be a long night. My parents had us up, and dressed by 7pm, just so we wouldn't be late to the boat launch. I think it was a bit of a surprise to the Jamersons when we showed up since the last they had heard we weren't planning on going to it. "I thought you weren't coming?" Shelly asked me as we walked up to them. "We weren't planning to, but the Captain had other plans," I replied. "What do you mean?" With this I went into the bit about getting the letter and tickets earlier that day. "Oh, that is so cool!" Shelly exclaimed after I finished. "Isn't it," I told her with a smile. About this time the boat came back from the beach for another load of passengers. "Tickets, please," the Steward at the gate asked. My father nodded at this and handed him the tickets we were given. "Ah Yes, the Morrison party. Just a moment, please," the Steward stated after looking over the tickets we handed him and walked off, while another person took his place. "DJ, what the hell is going on here?!" My dad whispered to me as we stepped of to one side. "You got me, dad. I'm just as lost about all this as you are," I replied under my breath as the steward came back with the person that had given me the envelope to start with. "Mr. Morrison?" The second person asked as he held out his hand. "Yes?" my dad replied taking the officer's hand. "I'm Gunther Enrich, the ship's Executive Officer," he told us. "Nice seeing you again, DJ, is it?" Gunther stated looking at me. "Yes sir. Thank you." I told him. On this note my dad introduced him to my mom, and brothers. "If you'll follow me I'll get you settled in at your table," Gunther told us as he lead us towards the area that the luau was going to be held at. "Excuse me sir, but could you possibly tell us what's going on here?" My mom asked. "Unfortunately ma'am, the Captain has asked me to keep that a secret for the time being," he replied with a smile, and a wink. After getting seated we cooled our heels for a few minutes before the captain arrived, and the festivities got underway. I have to say that this was one of the highlights of the trip, but little did I know what was going to happen next. After spending and hour or so eating the Captain stood up, and motioned for everyone to quiet down. "Ladies, and Gentlemen, I'd like to welcome you all to this gathering, and hope that you are all having a pleasant time. Before for entertainment really begins, I have a small presentation to make. I'd like to have the following people to stand please, Dr. James Jamerson, and Family, and Mr. DJ Morrison, and Family. I'd like everyone here to know that two days ago these two gentlemen rendered a great service to one of the passengers. Dr. Jamerson, and Mr. Morrison after seeing one of the other passengers become severely injured when a skeet launcher broke on him. Dr. Jamerson, and Mr. Morrison rendered the First Aid the injured Passenger required till our ship's Doctor could arrive, and continue the first aid. I was later told by the ship's doctor that had the steps taken by Dr. Jamerson, and Mr. Morrison not been done so quickly the passenger would have been in grave condition on his arrival. For their quick reaction, and thinking to this crisis I would like both Dr. Jamerson, and Mr. Morrison to step forward at this time, and accept these Letters of Appreciation," The Captain announced. On hearing this last part both Dr. Jamerson, and I stepped forward to accept the certificate the Captain was now holding. I was turning all sorts of shades of red from this since I didn't think I did anything more than what was required, and couldn't see what all the fuss was about. After the applause died down, the captain motioned for the entertainment to resume, and retook his seat. We finally got back to the ship, and our cabins about midnight. I was so tired I don't even remember my parents having changed me into one of my night time diapers. Day 7 I spent much of our last day of the cruise hanging out with Shelly around the pool. "Hey Shelly, I have an idea of something we can do tonight if you're interested," I told her. "Oh, and what would that be?" She replied with a sly smile. "Not what you're thinking," I told her with a chuckle. "What I was thinking off is sneaking into the casino after dinner tonight when everyone else is at the movies," I told her. "And, how do we manage that?" "It's easy. We use the passes we've been using to get into the clubs." "It won't work. Those passes are for the clubs only." "Not really, those passes list us as both being 18+, and according to the laws I looked up earlier you can legally gamble at age 18 outside of the US," I told her with a sly grin. "You're crazy, you know that. Better yet, I'm crazy for thinking that this could actually work," She smiled. "So, you up for it then?" "Sure, what's the worse that could happen. We get caught, and kicked out of the place." With this set up we went back to lounging around, and catching rays. "Mom, dad, is it OK if I skip the movie you were planning on treating the Jamersons to after Dinner?" I asked as we were getting ready for dinner. " I really think you should join us," My mom said. "C'mon, please, this will be the last night Shelly, and I get a chance to hit the clubs," I whined. My mom was about to say something else when my dad whispered something to her that I didn't catch. "OK, you can skip the movie, but no funny business, and be back to the cabin no later than midnight," she added with a slight grin. "Thanks mom. Thanks dad. " I told them before heading back to my own room. "Aren't you two ready yet!?" my mom asked a few minutes later when she came in to see how ready we were to head to dinner only to find that Donn and Paul were still in just their diapers. "Why do we have to wear the stupid monkey suits for?" Paul whined pointing to the Suits my parents had laid out for them. "We've been over this before with both of you. The final dinner of the cruise is a formal affair, and a tux, or a suit is required for it. Now unless you to want to stay here, and have cold sandwiches from Room Service for dinner I expect you two to be dressed when I come back here in five minutes," mom told them sternly. Of course when my mom came in five minutes later my brothers were still not dressed. "DJ, you take Paul, I'll take Donn." I just nodded at this, and grabbed Paul, and flipped him over on his back, and started to dress him like I used to when he got this way. "Sorry we're late. We had a bit of trouble with the boys," my parents said to the Jamerson's, but looking at Paul, and Donn so everyone at the table knew which boys they were referring to. "It's OK, We had the same problem with Matt and Mike," Mrs. Jamerson replied with a chuckle. About this time Aaron, and the rest of our table crew showed up. This evening's dinner put all the other nights to shame. It was almost a shame to have to leave with all the entertainment we were getting. Especially when Shelly and I decided to join the Conga Line that the waiters started and some of the other passengers decided to add to. Our brothers, and parents were all laughing when we got back to our table. "Man, that was fun!" I announced slightly out of breath. "You're telling me," Shelly added with a laugh. Dinner ended a short time after this. "So, you ready to hit the tables?" I asked as we parted from our parents. "You bet." "Then let's get going," I told Shelly, and steered her off to the casino. "Where do you want to start?" I asked after showing our passes to the person at the front door. "Let's try the Blackjack tables first," Shelly replied. I just nodded to this. "That's not to bad a game," I told her as we left the table. "I was wanting to try some of the Slots want to join me?" Shelly asked. "Nah, I've never been much for Slots," I told her with a smile. "I was planning on going over to play some poker. I'll meet you there in a little bit, OK?" "Sure, that sounds fine." Shelly replied to this. With this we split up to head our own ways. "Jesus, DJ, what have you been doing?" Shelly asked in astonishment looking at the pile of chips in front of me. "Just playing cards, why?" I asked not knowing what she was talking about. "Because you have what looks to be like about $1600 dollars in front of you, that's why." She replied. This of course had people start looking my way to see what the fuss was. "How much did you start with anyway?" Shelly asked next." "I don't know $35, or $40," I told her without much thought. "Anyway this is my last hand." I told her. When the dealer asked us to Ante up I pushed a stack of chips to the Ante ring in front of me. this caused a gasp from the crowd behind me. "What's that about?" I heard Shelly ask one of the people behind me. "Your friend their just made an Ante of $200 dollars. To stay in the game he'll have to make a bet of $400 more," he told her. I just ignored this as the dealer dealt me my cards. On looking at them my heart about stopped. I had just been dealt a Flush in Hearts. This caused several other people to breath in sharply as well. When the time came to lay out the cards I decided to do this with a bit of flair. "Players, please show your cards," the dealer announced. One by one all the other players laid out what they had. then it came to me. "OK, sir, let's see what you have the dealer said with a smile. I answered with a smile of my own as I laid out my cards one by one. "Ten of Hearts," the dealer said as I showed the first card. "Jack of Hearts," sounded as I put my second card "Queen of Hearts," came as my third card came down. "King of Hearts," A collective gasp came from the group behind me as this card was announced. "People, please. We have a possible Straight Flush, or a possible Royal Flush," the dealer announced. At this I noticed that the pit boss had come over to see this himself. With a slight flick of my wrist I tossed my last card on the table. "Seven of Hearts," the dealer said with obvious relief. He then laid out his own cards, and I was soon looking at a real Straight Flush. This really let the air out of me, as the dealer pulled the chips away from me. I sat there a moment to gather my thoughts, and slowly got up from the table, but not before tossing the dealer a $25 dollar chip for the hand I was dealt. This got me a round of applause from the audience as it showed that I was a gracious loser. "Thank you sir," The dealer said with a nodded as I walked away. "Any time," I responded. "I'm really sorry you lost that hand DJ," Shelly said as I walked up to the cashier to turn in my chips. "It's OK. I knew it was a possibility that it would happen, besides I still more than broke even," I chuckled back at her as the cashier handed me the 10 $100 from the chips I had won over the course of the night. "Well, we had better get back to our cabins. I only have five more minutes before my curfew," I added as we walked back out on to the concourse. we walked the rest of the way to her cabin with little said. "I really had a good time this last week. I be sure to write when I can," Shelly told me. "Likewise." I told her, and before I knew it she was giving me one last kiss. "Did you have a fun time DJ?" my mom asked as I walked in to my cabin a short time later. "Yeah, I feel like a grand," I told her with a smile. "That's good to hear. Now, start getting your stuff packed, and don't forget to leave out a clean set of clothes for the morning, or all you'll have to wear on the way home is your diaper." "Gotcha," Thus started a frantic run to get all of mine, and my brothers stuff repacked. Day 8 "OK, boys! Time to get up!" my father announced loudly as he walked in to our room the next morning. "HUH!?" I said in a half asleep startled voice at this. "Time to get up, and hurry we're running a bit behind. I just nodded at this. Since my mom made sure that all three of us got showers the night before all I had to do was a quick diaper change and get dressed. We all ended up just barely making breakfast. I noticed that the Jamersons had already been seated by the time we arrived, and were talking. I was clear though that Matt, and Mike were about to fall back asleep at any moment. I knew how they must feel since Donn and Paul were about to do the same. "So, DJ. Shelly tells me you had a bit of run of luck last night it's to bad that last hand didn't work out for you," Dr. Jamerson said a few minutes later. "It was nothing, really," I replied nervously. Hoping to blow all this off before my parents wondered what all this was about. "Oh come on now, Don't be shy about it. Tell us what really happened," Mrs. Jamerson added. "Yes, DJ. Tell us all about it," my mom tossed in also, and in the tone that I never liked hearing. "Well, last night, instead of going to the club like I had told you we were going to do, Shelly, and I went to the Casino, and I sort of got hooked in to playing some Stud Poker," I told them. "I see, and how much did you start out with?" My mom asked in the same cold tone. "About $35, or $40." I told her. "OK, and how much did you end up with at the end of this game" "About a grand," I said softly. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch that." "About a Grand," I answered a second time. My saying this caused all conversation at the table to stop cold, and my father started coughing a bit on the juice he had just started to swallow. "Excuse me? How much, did you say you came out with?" My father said still coughing slightly. "A bit over a thousand dollars," I told him turning red as I did so since I knew he got fleeced when he and my mom had gone earlier in the trip. "Oh c'mon DJ don't be so modest," Shelly piped in. "He actually had almost Two Thousand, but he lost part of it on the last hand he played," Shelly told my parents. All I could do was look at my plate, and turn red. "Oh really?" My parents asked her in unison. "Why don't you tell us about that last hand," my mom asked her. "Sure. DJ started out placing a Two hundred dollar Ante to get in the game, and when he saw what hand he had he decided to make the bet to stay in it." "And, what hand did he have?" My dad asked her. "I can't remember what the dealer called it, but these were the cards he had," and Shelly told my dad what those cards were. My dad just looked at me in astonishment. "Are you trying to tell me, that DJ was one card away from having a Royal Flush?" "I think that's what the dealer said was a possible of what he had. Anyway, It turned out the dealer had a higher hand so DJ lost," Shelly finished. "And, I bet you just got up, and walked away like a sore loser didn't you?" My dad asked. "No sir, I didn't. I handed the dealer a $25 chip, and thanked him on giving me that hand," I answered. My father just nodded at this. "You know how much you might have gotten if you had won that last hand of yours DJ?" Dr. Jamerson asked. "No sir, I don't, and I'm not really worried about it now," I told him. "I see, but would you like to know?" He continued. I looked at my parents for repose, and they both gave me an OK, so I nodded to let him know he could tell me. "well, going off of what I just heard, and with the normal pay off on a Flush being 7 to 1 I figure that between them matching your ante, and the bet you made that hand would have netted you about Three Thousand Dollars. " I just looked at him stunned, and he just nodded to confirm that this wasn't a joke. I just started laughing at this. After this, we finished our meal, and finished checking out. We got back home about Five o'clock that afternoon, and all of us went to bed to get over our jet lag. The rest of that evening went quietly, with most of it being spent telling Dan what had happened. I think Dan was thinking we were trying to pull his leg when they told him about my run in the casino. After all this was done, I locked my self in my room so I could get the damned report done that was due the coming Monday. Chapter 2 "Hey DJ, the Captain wants to see you in his office ASAP!" one of the class aids called. "OK, Tell him I'll be there as soon as I get dried off, and back into some regular clothes," I called back as I headed towards the edge of the pool. "What did you do this time DJ?" Mark asked as I started to pull myself out of the pool. "Beats the hell out of me, but I wouldn't be to surprised if this as anything to do with the discussion me and the Sergeant-Major got into right before Spring Break." I told him as I headed off to change clothes. "Sir, Cadet Morrison reporting to the Captain as ordered, sir!" I said a few minutes later as I stood in front of my teacher. "At ease, DJ, and take a seat." Capt. Ravin replied with a smile. "I bet you're wondering why I called you out of class." "The thought did cross my mind, yes sir." "well, this is why, Before we left on break I had been informed by several cadets that you, and Sgt-Maj. Eckenridge had a bit of a argument, and that it had ended up getting a bit heated. Is this true?" I was asked. "Yes sir, it's true." "I was also informed that the Sgt-Maj. has been singling you out in particular when coming down on people for rather minor infractions for quite some time, and that he has been extremely abusive verbally, and down right rude when it came to dealing with your medical condition. Is this also correct?" "Yes, sir it is." I replied coldly. "OK, what I want from you is a full statement about the specifics of what he's been doing." I just nodded at this and started relaying all the crap I had been put through since the start of the year, I didn't give the tape recorder on the Captain's desk much thought. I did happen to notice that his face did take on a harder, and harder look the further I got into my statement. I finished up just as the bell rang signaling the end of class. "Please stay here for a moment," the captain told me as I started to get my books, and stand up. I did what he said, and sat back down while he talked on the phone for a few minutes. "DJ. You, and I are going to go see Mr. Krueger about this." I was told, as the Captain took the tape from the recorder, and put it into his pocket, and stood up. I got several strange looks when other cadets saw me, and the Captain heading to the office. Our Principal was waiting for us when we got there, and he took us into his office. After getting a quick run down from the Captain, Mr. Krueger asked me to start over, and tell him again what I had just got done telling Captain Ravin. I did this as best as I could, but was so nervous at the start of it I ended up wetting my diaper so bad I had to excuse myself so I could go change it before it started leaking. It ended up taking me twice as long to retell the story because Mr. Krueger would keep having me stop, and expand on something I would say. I also noticed that he to had set up a tape machine while I was out changing my diaper. After the second run-through, I was excused to go get something to eat, but warned not to tell anyone about what was happening. "So DJ, what the hell is going on? I saw you, and Capt. Ravin heading into "Freddie's" office earlier, and you missed the last two hours." Scott asked me as I sat down to eat. "Sorry, I can't tell you," I replied giving him my "let's change the subject look." "Right," came Scott's wary reply. An hour later I returned to the office like I was told to and was escorted into on of the conference rooms. The moment I walked in I noticed that a video camera had been set up, and that there were several other people in the room now. This started round three of my saying what had happened. I was totally wrung out by the time all this ended, and was glad to be getting out of there. Of course before I left I was told not to talk to anyone about this. "Mom, I'm home." I called as I walked through the door. "You want to tell me where you were all day, young man?" My mom asked as she came out to greet me. "I was at school like I was supposed be. Why?" I asked a bit confused by all this. "If you were at school why did the majority of your teachers call, asking where you were?" "I'm not sure. I was in the office most of the day, and had assumed that my teachers had been made aware of that fact," I told her. "And, why were you in the office all day?" "I can't say why. I was told not to talk about it, but if you call the school, and ask for Mr. Krueger I'm sure he'll tell you." "OK, I'll do that, but in the meantime you go up to your room till I come, and get you." I just nodded at this. She came up to my room about thirty-minutes later, and told me that she had talked with my principal, and he explained everything to her. With this the subject was dropped, and I didn't hear anything more about it till a week later. "DJ! You have a phone call!" Paul called up to me. "OK! I'll get it up here!" I called back "Yeah?" I asked as I picked up the line. "DJ, this is Captain Ravin. You'll be needing to wear your Dress Blues tomorrow, and report to the front Office when you get here. Also you need to be here no later than 0700 Hundred. Is all this understood?" "Yes sir, it's understood, but what is all this about?" "You'll be informed when you get here tomorrow. Have a good night," I was told as he hung up. Just as I hung up I heard dinner being called. I walked downstairs still more than a bit puzzled. "Who was that on the phone for you DJ?" my dad asked as I sat down at the table. "That was Captain Ravin telling me that I would be needing to wear my Uniform to school tomorrow." "Why's that didn't you just wear it yesterday?" mom asked coming into the room. "Yeah, we did, and this is why it's got me so puzzled." I told her. After dinner I spent the rest of the night getting my uniform ready. I spent more time on it the I normally do, because something told me that I had better make the best showing I could I managed to get a lift from my dad the next morning, and got to school about an hour before I was needing to. I noticed that Captain Ravin, and a couple of other cadets were already there. I started to head over to the Captain, and ask what was going on, but he stopped me before I could say anything. "I'll tell everyone what's going on when everyone gets here." he told me. I just nodded at this. I was more than a bit surprised when John showed up also in uniform. A short time later the last person arrived, and we were finally told what was going to be happening. "I know you are all wondering what's going on, and I'm about to tell you. With all that I had been told by all of you I had the Sergeant-Major brought into a Captain's Mast to see if a Court Martial would be warranted on the charges of Conduct Unbecoming an NCO. The Mast had found that enough evidence was supplied to warrant a General Court Martial. This is going to starting in about one hour from now. I will tell you all right now that I only want to hear the truth coming out of your mouths. Nothing more, or less, is this understood?" We all nodded to this. After a few last minute instructions we went out, and got into a van that had been rented to take us to where the trial was going to go down. "All Rise! This court is now in session. Col. David Lang presiding," The bailiff announced as we came to attention. "Be seated," Col. Lang told us after seating himself. "Let's get started here. Are counsels ready?" Col. Lang asked after opening the file in front of him, and scanning it briefly. "Yes, your honor." came the reply from both lawyers. "OK, I'll allow five minutes for opening statements. Defense will go first." With this said, things started moving quickly. In almost no time I was being called in to the court to give my testimony. even though, I was one of the last people to be called. After being sworn in, and giving the basic information for the record, I started in on what had been going on in my unit when it came to the Sergeant-Major's treatment of me. I was on the stand almost an hour when the judge called a one hour lunch break. I all but bolted for the nearest men's room once this happened since I was on the verge of having my diaper explode from all the pee I had put into it since I put it on that morning. "I hope things are over soon," I mumbled to John. "Tell me about it. I didn't think things were going to go quite like they are. At least they're giving us the rest of the day off after all this is over. " John grinned trying to lighten the mood. As we were eating the prosecutor came over to give us a pep talk. "Don't worry about anything just keep telling the truth, and let me worry about the rest. DJ, expect to be recalled to the stand once we're called back into session. You're doing fine so far, just stay calm, and answer the questions clearly, and concisely." I just nodded at this, and went back to eating. I was on the stand for another hour after we got back from lunch, and was nervous as all get out during this time. I was just glad that I had kept my lunch light, and made sure to take a dump when I did my diaper change before going to lunch, or I would have been in trouble. After another three hours both sides had finally rested, and things were handed over to the jury. I was more than a little shocked to learn that it too the jury less than Ninety minutes to reach the verdict. In the end, the Sergeant-Major was found guilty of Conduct Unbecoming a Noncommissioned Officer, and was reduced in rank by one grade. He was also ordered to get counseling to help him learn better temper control. Much to my relief he was also moved to another school. "How did things go today DJ?" my dad had asked when I got up from the nap I went in to take after getting home from the trial. "Not bad, though I have to say I hope I never have to go through something like this again," I told them. "I can't believe how nerve wracking something like this can be," I added. I just got a nod from my parents on this. After dinner I spent the rest of the evening getting the homework Mark brought home for me done, and thought of what things were going to be like at school the next day. The unit got a new Sergeant-Major a few days after the trial, and from all expectations he was a good one, though I was wondering how he was going to react to my part in the untimely departure of the last one. I didn't have long to wait. "Hey, Morrison, "Gunny" wants to see you in the office now." Our cadet C.O. announced. "OK, I'll be right there." I told him as I finished up the paper I was working on. "You wanted to see me "Gunny"?" I asked as I walked into the units office. "Yeah, Morrison. I was just looking over your file, namely your part in the incident that just ended. I have to say that I don't quite agree with all the things that happened with it, and hope that this won't happen again," he told me. "I take it that the Sergeant-Major doesn't like the fact that he has a person under his command that has a physical problem," I stated a bit hotly. I could tell this wasn't the right thing to say, but stuck with it. "OK, Mr. Morrison if this his how you want to be about it I can play it hard, too. To be honest I don't really give a rat's ass that you still wear diapers or not. What does concern me is that you might try and use it to get out of doing things with the rest of the unit, and that I won't stand for. As long as you pull your weight we'll have no problems, otherwise things will get tense. Do you understand what I'm telling you?" "Yes sir, I understand perfectly, and you can be assured that I'll try almost any task given me," I told him seriously. "OK, as long as we understand each other. You're dismissed," he said with a slight smile. The rest of the month went smoothly, but little did I know what lay ahead for me. To be concluded in Deja Vu.
