"No.. unless you take another flight or trip back.. didn't you know?" Dan looked a bit worried at Michael. "I guess you don't have a ticket either.." he mumbled more to himself. He knew that in one way or the other Michael would get in trouble, when a boy of his age would be seen alone of this ship it would raise questions.. Dan thought for a while he ran with his hand through his brown hair and finally said: "You could stick with me if you want to."

"I don't have any ticket," Michael explained, "I was running away from the bread salesman, and I hid on this ship."
Michael paused for a moment and recollected on the man's idea, "If I stay with you, I think I should at least know who you are."

"Fair enough.." Dan replied laughing. "My name is Milligan, Dan Milligan. And I'm going to America to make money.. or at least, that's what I hope I will do.." He sat back on the bed and felt the heaving of the ship in his stomach. Would they have left already?

"I am going to America..." Micheal said aloud, trying his best to be formal but failing at it, "Well.. I didn't even know I was going to America until a few minutes ago. At least I won't have to worry about the bread salesman there."
Looking back at Dan, Michael continued to stand in front of the bed. "Dan," he asked, "if I do tag along, what would I need to do?"

Dan grinned when at the kid's realisation that he was going to America and said: "Well, they can't throw you out once we are at sea when they catch you without family or ticket.. but when we arrive in America they'll be able to send you back. So just tell them you're with me and that I'm your euh.. brother.." He smiled as he said that. He never had a little brother as he was the youngest of five. He quickly shook his head, not wanting to think of the past. The future only counted now.
"For the rest," he continued "enjoy yourself" He glanced at Michael's clothes and added "We need to find you some better clothes too I guess.."

Michael nodded at the idea of getting new clothes. The clothes he was wearing were damp and ripped; pretty much rags.
"Alright," Michael told Dan sighly heavily from all of the new pressure coming upon him, "Now, I am Michael. Michael... what was your last name again?"

"Milligan.." Dan answered "Can you remember that? It's just like a play and Michael Milligan will be your role." He frowned while mumbling "Now.. where could we get clothes for a boy of your size..?"

"Michael Milligan. Ok, gotcha," Michael said to Dan and continued to repeat Michael Milligan to himself for a few moments. Moving onto clothes, he stopped the constant naming repeating and thought out loud, "Um.. if there is a store, I am good at snatching things without people noticing."

"I usually don't steal.." Dan said stern "It's wrong." His eyes trailed off to the empty bowl of soup and he laughed sheepish. "But when there's an emergency I make exceptions.." He looked at Michael. "When you're caught, then you're doomed.. we both are."

"It's wrong?" Michael asked. He had never thought of stealing as bad; he only thought of it as life. If he needed clothes, he would take them. If he needed food, he would get it, but the concept of it being bad ate at Michael, "But.. it's not like killing someone."
Michael continued to mutter on for a little while to himself when he caught sight of Dan's comment. "You shouldn't get in trouble," he remarked, "you didn't steal the bread."

"No, but I talked the idea into you to steal clothing.." he replied with a smile. "Anyway, it's not good to take stuff that belongs to other people, without paying, especially when they sell it for their own living." This kid missed a few lessons on good and bad Dan thought. It was better to borrow some clothes since he didn't feel like shoplifting on the first day of the trip and then feeling chased the rest of the days. Why didn't I make sure for more money..? He scolded at himself for such a bad preparation but on the other hand, who knew that he would be responsible for a ten-year old right now?

"Ok..." Michael solemnly agreed, "But, if I don't steal them, how am I going to get any? I don't have any money, and I don't have any job. I don't even think I am able to get a job." Frustrated, Michael sat down on the bed and looked over to Dan, eagerly awaiting his answer.

Dan remained silent for a moment. Usually his creativity would provide him with a plan but at the moment his mind was a bit blank. After a while his a mischievious smile formed on his face and he said: "I've got an idea what might work. Listen, we go over to an attendant on the ship once we've left the harbour and ask why your luggage hasn't arrived yet. We just pretend that all your stuff is gone, including your passport and clothes. Of course I'll keep the management of this ship responsible for the loss of your property so they'll have to give you new clothes as compensation.." Dan looked at Michael. He had no idea where this idea came from, but it was worth trying.

((could you guys talk to my guy instead? he is about to come and walk down your hallway!  ))
Scott, still in his uniform, started walking down the hallway were Dan and Micheal's room was. He was pushing a cart of food for door-to-door room service. He peeked into Dan's room and asked,
"Anything you two blokes want from the....the..drat I forgot it's name again!" Scott said angrily. "You see..." He explained to Micheal and Dan, "Our boss want's everything to have a proper name and well...I can't ever remember them all and he thinks that 'Food Cart' isn't fancy enough!" Scott said, grinning. "Well, that is what I am going to call it until he gets angry. So...." He said, not talking anymore, and letting the question hang.

(( Yes, I was planning to approach him Tur  ))
Dan turned to guy in uniform and grinned. "Well there are a lot of fancy people aboard here.. Did we already leave the shores? " Dan got up and looked at the man who was somewhat younger than he was. "You see, my brother his luggage should have been brought here.. perhaps it has been taken to the wrong cabin?"

Scott snored. "Fancy, me? I hope you were talking about me...I can barely afford to make a living." He sighed heavily. "But yes, there are. And yes, we did." He looked down at the boy, Micheal. "Really? I am sorry to hear that, mate! It would take days to figure out what cabin it went to!" Scott said, shaking his head. He looked at Michael. "But you do need some new clothes..."
