2397 She spent the afternoon as promised, with Matt. Matthew was ready as planned and Hennesy urged her to go. Matt had already stopped by the kitchen and picked up the basket. There was nothing left to delay them and so with a touch of reluctance she left. Po'Em surprised everyone late that night by arriving with her dad. Hennesy, much to her father"s chagrin, called him dad. Poem smoothed her father's ruffled feathers and set him to work on Shane. After that Shane didn't bother her or anyone else.

Marijuana refused to come to the Whale. She wanted Po' to come and visit her. When she and Hennesy talked he made her feel guilty , while at the same time giving her an added perspective. She, Po, had never been to Marijuana's and hadn't seen Pandora but once years ago. Maybe she was afraid she would catch ,baby fever or something . Even if you do , I won't leave you. Po'Em chided him about this commitment but agreed to visit Marijuana. She was her best friend after all.
She was gone the whole week. She enjoyed Panda and Panda loved the stories she told. Po'Em wanted to spend more time with Panda, now that she had gotten to know her. Much to her dismay Marijuana didn't take to the idea of Panda spending time alone with Po'Em and would not let her come aboard the Whale.
