Joe and Jess were a young couple on the ferry to Pleasure Island. Both had recently turned 18 and looked forward to celebrating on a luxury cruise and holiday. They boarded the ship holding hands, but were quickly seperated in the hustle and bustle of the ship. Once they reunited, Jess seemed concerned.
"This place is crazy. It's too hot, I thought you said there was air conditioning."
"I know," Joe said, looking around concerned. "I'm sure things will quiet down once the ship leaves port."
Not long after departure, the passengers were herded into the mess hall for their first meal. What had been promised to be gourmet food actually seemed more like a junk food buffet. Heaps of sweet and savoury foods were dumped on the plates at the same time, with no regard to the conventions of meals and desserts. Jess looked down at her plate in mild disgust.
"Excuse me," she said to the woman handing the food out. "I'm actually hoping to lose a little weight, I don't think I should be eating this kind of thing."
The woman smiled sympathetically. "Oh no dear, you shouldn't do that! You're on holiday, enjoy yourself. You've got to eat up to be big and strong, too."
Jess conceeded and began eating. Joe was already shoveling the food into his mouth, just like many of the others. "Eww, have some manners!" Jess said.
"Oh god Jess, you've got to try this stuff, it's delicious!" He then stopped eating with his hands and pushed his face into his food.
"You're eating like a pig." But she noticed... so was everyone else! She felt out of place. "Hey, I'm on holiday." And she did the same.
