Ken awoke with a start as the prehistoric 747 slammed onto the runway. A shower of sparks and emergency vehicles accompanied the tattered fuselage as it slid down the lava fields and towards the gate. Illiana Mugwamp was unfazed by the incident, it was obviously quite common. She pressed a small button on the side of her head that activated her automatic bun retrieval system. Ken ducked just in time to avoid being smacked by the bun as it whizzed past him in the aisle, not unlike a bagel on a fishing line. Tyrannosaurus Bets was stirring in the galley. She had gone into hibernation shortly after the meal service, safely stowed away in the galley with a few leftover lamb chops and a bottle of saki. She stumbled to the door and assumed her position. She prepared to wave and personally deliver an aloha to each and every passenger. Her face was sure to expedite the disembarkation process.

Ken's Renta-Vet was waiting for him just outside the baggage claim area. He scooped up the remnants of his baggage and poured them into the trunk. He then proceeded directly to the local Bed & Brothel for a shower and fresh change of clothes. A new shirt and a lei were the first items on his agenda. Jane Doe greeted him with open arms as he pulled up the drive to the B&B. "Good to see you, Ken! Here! Have a MaiTai!" Jane was always quite accommodating. Ken loved her dearly. Importing vodka all the way from Siberia to the big island was quite expensive, so Ken switched to more local fuel supplies such as MaiTais and Kamikazes. His cheeks drew in as he sipped the nectar from deep within the pineapple Jane had presented him. "Aaaahhh." He sighed. "It's so good to be back in the islands!" Just then he saw a buttock flash from behind the bushes. Ken was both shocked and titillated at the same time. "Oh pay no attention to Bob. He's just acting out another one of his Jeff Stryker fantasies! I think he's playing the little lost Amazon boy today. His prey should be along shortly. Here...let's get your bags up to your room." Said Jane. Ken took a large gulp of his MaiTai to prepare for the trek upstairs. "Where are the porters when you need them?" Ken joked. "Out playing Amazon boy with Bob." Jane replied. "Oh." Said Ken.

"I'll go draw you a nice hot plumeria bath." Said Jane as she left Ken to unpack his rubble. "Wow! What a great idea! I haven't had one in ages!" Ken quickly unpacked his bags and selected a fabulous two-piece ensemble consisting of a fuchsia hydraulic top and expandable khaki shorts. Chestnut sandals and matching belt would accessorize the outfit perfectly. "Your water's ready!" Ken heard Jane yell from the bath chamber. Ken's skin sighed as he peeled the soiled garments from his body and tiptoed happily to the bath. He had goosebumps all over his body as he slowly lowered himself into the warm bath. The smell of plumeria was overwhelming. It soothed his every cell. "Aaaaahh." He said aloud as he settled into the bath. Ken's mind began to wander as he closed his eyes. After a few moments he realized that he was no longer alone. One of the Amazon boys had returned from the hunt early and decided to join Ken in his bath. The boy, of most exquisite complexion, had eased into the tub behind Ken. Ken's head was lying back against the boy's chest. The boy was massaging Ken's shoulders and neck. He slid his hand slowly up past Ken's ears and began to massage his scalp. Ken was purring. "Feel better?" The boy inquired. "Oh yes. Much better." Ken said as he purred louder and slid down lower into the tub. He awoke with a start as his head slid below the surface of the water. He jumped up. He was alone in the tub. "Wow! That seemed so real! I could've sworn there was an Amazon boy in the tub with me!" The soiled towel on the floor left him quite perplexed.

Ken removed his lily-white perfumed buttocks from the tub and patted himself dry. The scent of plumeria was heavy on his body. It was quite heady, so Ken decided to relax and take a nap prior to venturing out. He crawled into bed and pulled the crisp white sheets close to his body and snuggled up with his pillows. Songbirds chirped and frolicked outside his window. All the world was at peace. Again Ken closed his eyes and his mind began to wander. He became aware of the warmth of another body pressed close to his. Again the familiar sensation of a shoulder rub. Again the most exquisite complexion and smooth hands...Amazon boy had returned. Ken kept his eyes closed as the island boy drew closer and pressed hard against Ken's back, releasing all of the tension from Ken's body. He rested quite comfortably for an hour or so and awoke in the early afternoon. There was no sign of the Amazon boy when Ken opened his eyes.

No trip to the islands would be complete without paying one's respects to Madame Pele. Since the Jeff Stryker Amazon boy games had already commenced for the day, Ken decided it would be the perfect time to complete this mandatory task. Attempting the journey on foot would mean certain death. There were absolutely no rest stops or cocktail bars along the way. Since the V-Squared was currently parked 5000 miles away, Ken was forced to consider a more public means of transportation. The only sensible alternative would be helicopter. High among the clouds with a full thermos of MaiTais...it made perfect sense. The ride would also be smooth so that virtually no spillage of MaiTai would occur. Ken called and reserved a seat for later that afternoon.

It was a long way to the heliport, and Ken was quite hungry. He decided to stop at one of the local restaurants along the way and sample some native island fare. He pulled the Renta-Vet up to Taco Bell where he dined on two bean burritos and a diet Pepsi. The absence of Poi made the meal quite edible and Ken found the burritos quite satisfying. Within minutes Ken was refueled and ready to hit the road. He fired up the Renta-Vet and resumed his journey. Before long the volcano that Madame called home, Mauna Mai Tai, loomed before him on the horizon. The molten lava and gasses spewing forth from the volcano told him that Madame was indeed home.

Ken pulled up to the heliport and secured the Vet. He then fastened the MaiTai thermos and video equipment close to his body. For a moment he felt very Japanese, but was confident that the thermos would soon eliminate the sensation. He proceeded to the check-in counter and shortly thereafter began his journey deep into the bowels of Madame Pele. Crash, the pilot of the day, carefully composed today's audio soundtrack, selecting only soothing songs by Kiss, Courtney Love, and The Beastie Boys...so as to calm the nerves of any anxious passengers. Ken happily sipped from is thermos, giggling every now and then as the other passengers reached for their aloha bags.

Ken held his breath as the pilot drew the helicopter closer and closer to the red-hot lava. He knew that at such close range to the volatile lava one iota of his MaiTai-laden breath would instantly combust, sparking a firestorm that would surely last for days. He listened attentively as the pilot explained all about the various types of lava. There was Aah-Aah, Ooo-ooo, Pahuehue and MaiTai. Each type was named for its characteristic composition and texture. The MaiTai lava was Ken's favorite. MaiTai lava was characterized by a distinct pattern that forms atop the lava's crust as it cools. The pattern is not unlike that of thousands upon thousands of tiny paper umbrellas and cocktail skewers. As an extra benefit the fumes emitted by the lava were quite hallucinogenic and guaranteed to bring joy to all who breathed them-not unlike Vodka Land.

Crash hovered above Madame's orifice for several minutes before heading back to the heliport. Along the way he pointed out several homes and landmarks that had been destroyed by Madame's fury. Ken found it all very fascinating and tried not to hiccup too loudly. They were on the ground shortly.

Ken staggered towards the Renta-Vet and after several attempts was finally able to unlock the door. He quickly rolled down the windows to allow for ample circulation within the vehicle. He found himself again quite hungry, and once again began to seek out restaurants specializing in local fare. This time he opted for something a little healthier and lower in fat. He ordered only one bean burrito from Taco Bell and proceeded directly to the Mauna Loa macadamia nut plantation for dessert.

The Mauna Loa macadamia nut plantation was quite eco-friendly. The proprietors recycle the nutshells for fuel to run the machinery. Ken found this quite fascinating as he peered through the giant plate glass windows to the turbines below. His eyes were drawn towards the bug zappers conveniently located atop each of the nut-laden conveyor belts. They undoubtedly were installed to provide protein fortification for the chocolate covered delicacies which passed directly below them. Ken tossed his unfinished chocolate covered treat immediately. He had had quite enough fortification for one day and resumed his journey immediately. Ken loves the word immediately.

The late afternoon glow of the sun as it lowered itself toward the horizon was quite soothing. Ken decided to stop at one of the black sand beaches along the way and take up some local scenery. There he encountered several nudists chanting and performing sun salutations. The backdrop of the sea rushing towards their bronzed buttocks, perched atop jet-black lava was quite astounding. Ken was overwhelmed and felt compelled to join the nudists and they stretched all of their extremities outward so as to absorb the soothing rays of the sun. Upon completion of several sun salutations and a Hail Mary Ken sank below the fronds of a coconut-laden palm tree to watch the sun sink below the sea. Again his mind began to wander and he closed his eyes to imagine the Amazon boy rubbing his shoulders and neck. He could actually feel the warmth of the Amazon boy's body as he pressed close to him. He sighed. Just then a coconut dropped from high above and landed alarmingly close his equatorial proximity. An inch to the left and Ken would have been forced to sing alto for the rest of his life. A deep voice spoke from behind him. "Don't be alarmed. I'll protect you." Ken clasped a hand to his shoulder. He felt a strong hand. The hand pressed deeply into Ken's shoulder and neck. It felt exquisite. Ken turned to see to whom the hand was attached. Dark eyes and a radiant smile were there to greet him. This was no Amazon boy. This was a man, and he was real. Ken closed his eyes and let the man work his magic.
