No one replied and suddenly Tugger noticed the bags at everyone's feet. He was now more confused than ever. "What, are we moving north?" he asked wanting some quick answers and it was then Pouncival approached him from behind, dragging his own luggage full of belongings and replied with a giant smile as he dropped his bag, "I wouldnt say north!" and Tumblebrutus added as he too placed his bag down with a smile of his own and extended his arms, "We're going to Caliente Island!!"

Tugger frowned and nearly choked on his own gulp, "All of you?!" Cassandra closed her makeup compact and tossed it in her bag as she answered, "Well yeah, how do you think we'd feel if we knew you and Bombalurina were soaken up the ocean air while we here fry like roadkill under the boiling sun?!" Tugger stuttered as he was about to protest when suddenly Bombalurina came up behind him, placing her fragrant long elegant arms around his neck, kissing it tenderly and said, "My bags are all packed, so when are we - " and her eyes fell on the tribe before her and their bags. Bombalurina's hands quickly fell away and went to her waist as a pair of cold narrow eyes fell on the maned tom, "What's going on?!" and just as Tugger opened his mouth in a sudden attempt to explain, Ectetera leaped with joy and shrieked as she clapped her hands, "Where all going to Caliente Island!!"

Tugger rolled his eyes as Bombalurina crossed her arms, her eyes still on Tugger as he felt them burning holes in him, "Oh we are, are we? Who's idea was this anyway?!" Pouncival and Tumblebrutus both chimed in together with giant grins, "Ours!" and Bombalurina slowly glanced at them as Tugger took the advantage in signaling them to shut their trap by gesturing a cut it out swing rapidly and sharply with his hand infront of his neck. The two toms saw this and hesitated in a stutter as they answered to Bomb, "Well...yeah, I mean, it's been quite hot this summer..." began Pouncival. "...and we thought that a trip to an island would be a... great way of dealing with it." concluded Tumblebrutus who glared at Tugger strangly not understanding what the big deal was. Bombalurina glanced back at Tugger who swiftly placed his hand down and acted like he was doing nothing the whole time. Her look said everything to him and he shrugged as he struggled for an explanation, "Well I didn't exactly say it was my idea... it was a good thought from the guys and I just...took it into concideration." Bombalurina was silent and Tugger got defensive as he growled, "I mean come on Bomba! This is a great opportunity to get away and enjoy ourselves!" and he slowly inched up closer to her in a tender manner and mumbled in a sweeter tone, "I promise we'll have our time alone. You...me, closed Marriot Suit silk shades and candle lit rooms with bubbling champaign and warm bubble baths with the aroma of katnip..." and Bombalurina giggled at his ticklish words in her ear and the very idea of it all. The red queen took a deep breath in, stared at the gorgeous adorable tom before her and shrugged with a giant smile, "Well why not?! What's the deal in the company of some good old friends while I'm there!" and Tugger laughed as the two kissed joyfully. He then peeled his lips away, grabbed her bags and hollared with excitement, "Caliente Island, here we come!!" and the tribe cheered and began gathering their stuff, preparing themselves for the long flight ahead of them.

The night was long and uncomfortable in the upright seats that fell back only a few inches. The only Jellicles getting any good sleep were the kittens like Sillabub and Ectetera who were small enough to cuddle on their chairs. Unable to sleep Bombalurina stared out the window next to her at nothing but her own reflection due to the ink darkness outside. Tugger was fast asleep next to her and she envied his ability to sleep through anything. A small terrbulance tremble jerked Tugger awake with a snort and he rubbed his face and looked around forgetting where he was. After regaining his memory, he glanced at Bombalurina beside him who continued to stare out the window, not knowing that he had awaken. He then leaned in and rested his chin on her shoulder, placing a strong arm around her waist and began to slowly kiss her neck. Bombalurina smiled and flinched as she giggled and replied pushing him gently away, "Not here silly. Felines are trying to sleep you big goofball." Tugger grinned as he thought of an idea, "You're right, we can't do this here." and he quickly unbuckled his seat belt and unfastened hers as well. Bombalurina looked at him strangly and asked, "What are you doing?" but without a responce, Tugger took her hand, pulled her out of the chair and began leading her down the aisle towards the back. She quickly got the idea once her eyes fell on what Tugger was dashing for - the bathrooms. She laughed and excitingly picked up the pace following him the entire way till they paused as Tugger reached for the door handle. They immediatly began kissing each other frantically as Tugger groaped for the handle and pulled down on it, swinging the door open. They both were about to enter when they froze and gasped at the sight of how it was already occupied by MungoJerrie and Rumpleteazer who also gasped at the sudden interference. Their kissing stopped and MungoJerrie reached for the door as he leaned in on Tugger and whispered with a chuckle, "Sorry pal, this one's occupied." and the tom then slammed it on them. Tugger turned to find that the rest were occupied also with the red lights on each closed door. Knowing Tugger was upset, Bombalurina tried keeping him cheerful by saying, "It's ok hun, we'll be at the hotel rooms before we know it." and Tugger yelled as he banged on Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer's door, "But I wanted a bathroom!!"
