"Hi,"
"Hey there, Sweets!" I said, smiling down at her. "You wanna help me build another shelter before it gets dark?"

"Hey there, Sweets! You wanna help me build another shelter before it gets dark?"
"Yeah sure, i don't mind at all. I'd like to help, i kind of feel useless other wise." She took Heidi's hand and let her lead the way.

A few hours pass and it is now evening.
Fairly clear night sky with thousands of stars.
Several bonfires are lit throughout camp.

"Of course we will," I said with a confident smile. "We'll be home before we know it."
I stepped back to take a look. "I think we're done. What do you think?" I asked as I started to check over the stability and ties. "This one could be yours, hun," I said to Sarah.

Amber Wellington
Amber had spent the day taking photos of the survivors and surrounding jungle then the night came and out a stop to that activity. Looking around Amber saw a woman and a young girl who were putting a shelter together, not far from them then was a shirtless guy sitting by a fire who occasionally poked the fire with a big stick. Amber walked over to the woman and girl and asked "Do you two need any help with that?"

"Of course we will, we'll be home before we know it." Sarah nodded her head and put Mr. Floppers down in the sand before giving out a yawn. "I think we're done. What do you think? This one could be yours, hun." Sarah looked at the shelter and smiled, "I like it a lot, can really be mine and if so, can we build yours closer by. I don't want to be next to someone i don't really know."
"Do you two need any help with that?" Sarah looked up and smiled, "Yeah."

"Of course. We'll be next door neighbors," I said, grinning down at her.
"Do you two need any help with that?"
"Yeah."
"Sure," I said, same time as Sarah. "Actually, this one's done now but if we could throw together one more, that'd be great. We collected enough stuff earlier to make at least one more."

"Actually, this one's done now but if we could throw together one more, that'd be great. We collected enough stuff earlier to make at least one more."
"Excellent, where shall we start?" Amber inquired before remembering her manners "Im Amber by the way, Amber Wellington." Amber gave a little dip of curtsey to the survivors she was meeting. Amber gave a small wave to the guy at the fire who just seemed to just ignore her. "Well isn't he just a barrel full of sunshine."
Stu 'Smiley' Miley
Stu sat by the fire occasionally using a stick to stir it, he noticed a new woman help Heidi with the shelters. She gave him a little wave and Stu simply ignored her, he was doing a very intense job of supervising the shelters and wouldn't let anyone disrupt that.

"Excellent, where shall we start?" "Im Amber by the way, Amber Wellington."
"My name's Heidi," I said, adding a fun curtsy of my own, "and this is Sarah."
"Well isn't he just a barrel full of sunshine."
"Oh, just wait 'til you try to have a conversation with him," I said with a smirk and an exaggerated roll of my eyes. "Right, so I think this one will be a lot quicker. We can use the two ends of this one," I pointed to the shelter we'd just finished, "as part of the new one. So we just need to get two of these metal plane pieces deep into the ground. That's the hard part."
I reached down and grabbed one of the metal pieces, dragging it over to about where it'd need to be put into the ground. "Oh, and be careful. There are some pretty sharp and jagged areas on these things. Not exactly factory made tent parts."

"Oh, and be careful. There are some pretty sharp and jagged areas on these things. Not exactly factory made tent parts."
"Well that is a shame, could have sworn I saw these in the latest jungle island chic range." Amber joked, following Heidi's lead Amber started making a hole for the second makeshift pole. "So what were in Australia for? If you dont mind me asking that is."

"Well that is a shame, could have sworn I saw these in the latest jungle island chic range."
I chuckled. "Those are just knockoffs. These are the genuine things. The fashion snobs will be so jealous." I looked up as she started digging. "Here, you can use one of these for digging if you'd like." I tossed Amber one of the plastic cups from the flight.
"So what were in Australia for? If you dont mind me asking that is."
I began digging, keeping my eyes on the task as I answered. "Just visiting a friend who'd recently moved there. You?"

Amber Wellington
Amber picked up the cup and begun digging a hole.
"Just visiting a friend who'd recently moved there. You?"
"I had my first photography where I sold a bunch of prints." Amber said telling a half truth, while she had sold a bunch of prints they were all to people who were buying the name Wellington based on her biology and not her talent which got on her nerves. "First show and here I am, Murphy's Law right?" Amber said with a smile. Amber continued to work away getting the pole up and begun to hum before quietly singing the lyrics to the song to herself "Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time..."

"I had my first photography where I sold a bunch of prints." "First show and here I am, Murphy's Law right?"
"Oh, congrats! Murphy's Law is usually more of a bitch than that... probably more along the lines of the plane crashing when you were on your way to your show. At least you got to have it," I said, looking at the positive side.
"Oh, my love, my darling I've hungered for your touch A long, lonely time..."
Hearing a couple of the words, I picked up quickly on what Amber was singing and hummed along. Taking one last cupful of sand, I tossed the cup aside and stood up, placing an end of the piece of wreckage into the ground. I shifted it back and forth, trying to dig it in deeper and sighed when I didn't make much progress. My energy was drained after finishing up a whole other shelter combined with the fact that I was plain exhausted.
I looked over at Stu, just sitting there poking at the fire this entire time and felt a slight annoyance. "Hey tough guy," I called out. "Why don't you take this opportunity to show off your muscles and help me out here?"

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
"Hey tough guy,""Why don't you take this opportunity to show off your muscles and help me out here?"
Stu had paid little attention to the women as they made some shelters and the only thing he really caught was them humming that song from that Patrick Swayze movie. Stu sighed and slowly got up dusting himself off "Fine but you cant say I've never done anything for you." Stu walked over behind Heidi and put his arms around her gently as if in a loving embrace "But I dont know where we are going to get some clay from."

"Fine but you cant say I've never done anything for you."
I looked over at Amber and rolled my eyes. "Ever so gallant." I tensed as I suddenly found myself trapped between the piece of wreckage and practically right up against Stu. "That's not what I--"
"But I dont know where we are going to get some clay from."
I laughed as I made the connection and my initial reaction to run when I found myself in a situation like this faded as I relaxed and just let myself have fun. "I walked right into that one, didn't I?" I said with a glance over my shoulder.

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
"I walked right into that one, didn't I?" she said as her head turned to look at Stu. Something about that moment, the perfectness of it or the way Heidi looked when she turned to Stu made his heart jump into his throat. "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" Was the only thing that managed to pass Stu's lips. "Wha-what would you like me to do?" Stu suddenly became queasy with no explanation into why, something about that simple act had made him all gooey and her so much more than Stu had previously given her credit for. "Oh right... you probably want me to let you go now..." Stu's arms slowly unwrapped from around Heidi's arms.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" "Wha-what would you like me to do?" "Oh right... you probably want me to let you go now..."
I was oddly disappointed when he let go and I found that to be unsettling. But not as unsettling as Stu acting unsure. It was much easier dealing with overconfident Stu. "It would probably make it easier to get this done." And much less distracting, I thought. I cleared my throat as I stepped to the opposite side, facing Stu. "We need to get this deep in the ground so that it doesn't end up falling and bludgeoning someone in their sleep."

"We need to get this deep in the ground so that it doesn't end up falling and bludgeoning someone in their sleep."
"Di my beautifully inclined friend I do believe I have an idea, wait here and I will be right back." And with that Stu walked off to get something to complete his plan.
Amber Wellington
"Well this is really... kinda awkward... I can leave if you too want some time together? I mean you guys are a couple right? If not Im sorry for the assumption its just the whole Ghost thing was kinda cute." Amber finished up the digging of the hole and measured it to make sure it was deep enough for a pole.
Stu 'Smiley' Miley
Stu jogged until he found a large branch, one that was thick enough to act as a hammer and quickly ran back to Heidi and Amber. Stu presented the branch and didnt give Heidi the oppurtunity to say anything before declaring it himself. "Yes, caveman tools, Stu bash, Stu good at bashing!" Stu then held the pole in place before hitting the pole into the ground with the large branch, when he was finished he held the branch out to Heidi "Di can you hold this for a minute.... withOUT hitting me with it?" Stu then got on his knees and filled in the hole around the pole.

Jack and Hurley were nearly finished making a shelter around the marshal. This one was bigger than the other shelters the survivors were building. Jack thought of it as the "infirmary".
"Was it a dinosaur?" Hurley asked, interrupting Jack's thoughts.
Jack resisted rolling his eyes and simply stated, "It wasn't a dinosaur."
"You say you didn't see it," Hurley insisted.
"I didn't."
"So how do you know it wasn't a dinosaur?"
"Because dinosaurs are extinct," Jack said matter-of-factly.
"Oh. Yeah," Hurley said, slightly embarrassed. He looked at the Marshal. "So what's his story? He looks kind of... dying."
"He's not going to die," Jack stubbornly insisted.
Hurley gave Jack a disbelieving look. "He's yellow, man."
Jack remained persistent. "His wound is infected, but the antibiotics will fight it off."
"What if they don't?"
Jack gritted his teeth at being forced to face what he'd been trying to put into the back of his mind. "Then his body will shut down one piece at a time. His abdomen goes rigid, then..."
"He looks like he's in pain," Hurley interrupted.
"Yeah." Jack checked on the man, trying to make him as comfortable as possible.
Seeing a piece of paper lying on one of the crates, Hurley walked over and picked it up. "What's this?" he asked as he held it to the light. Hurley paled. "Uh, dude? Uh..." Jack looked over and quickly grabbed the mug shot of Kate out of Hurley's hands. "What do you think she did?"
Jack folded up the piece of paper and put it in his pocket. "It's none of my business."
"She looks pretty hard core."
"Hurley..." Jack said in a tone that indicated he did not want to talk about it, backing up his insistence of moving on by making himself busy again.

"Di my beautifully inclined friend I do believe I have an idea, wait here and I will be right back."
I smiled at his retreating form as I held the metal in place. It was good to see him participating rather than consistently trying to alienate himself.
"Well this is really... kinda awkward... I can leave if you too want some time together? I mean you guys are a couple right? If not Im sorry for the assumption its just the whole Ghost thing was kinda cute."
I quickly looked at Amber in surprise. "What? No!" I said in surprise. "I mean, I just met him today. He's been mostly rude and has managed to piss me off several times." I said that last part not just to update Amber but also to remind myself.
"Yes, caveman tools, Stu bash, Stu good at bashing!" "Di can you hold this for a minute.... withOUT hitting me with it?"
"So tempting," I joked. "I'll try to restrain myself."

I stepped out of Sarah's shelter, stretching out my sore body. Sleeping on the ground was not fun. Sarah had not wanted to be alone so I'd slept in her shelter and insisted that Amber sleep in mine since she'd graciously helped built it.
Sarah was already gone when I woke up. I guessed she was probably building sandcastles again. I searched along the shore for her and my attention was drawn to Hurley running along the shore to Jack's tent. I looked to where Hurley pointed and saw that a crowd had gathered. The hike party had returned and Sayid had stood up on something, ready to make a speech.
I quickly made my way over, unbraiding my hair as I walked.
HURLEY
Hurley arrived at Jack's shelter, out of breath. "Dude, dude, they're back," he said, pointing as people started to gather around Sayid.

Sayid stands up on something as a group gathers around him on the beach. When a good sized group has gathered, he started his speech:
"As you and the others know, we hiked up the mountain in an attempt to help the rescue team locate us. The transceiver failed to pick up a signal. We weren't able to send out a call for help. But we're not giving up. If we gather electronic equipment - your cell phones, laptops - I can boost the signal and we can try again, but that may take some time. So for now, we should begin rationing our remaining food. If it rains, we should set up tarps to collect water. I need to organize 3 separate groups. Each group should have a leader. One group for water - I'll organize that. Who's going to organize electronics? You? Rationing food? Okay. And I believe a third group should concern themselves with the construction of shelters."

KATE
Kate watched the people gathering around and kept an eye out for Jack. As soon as she saw him approaching, she met him halfway. She didn't notice Hurley watching her closely.
"Hi," Kate said with a tentative smile.
"Hey." Jack returned her smile in kind.
This was somewhat awkward. She found herself looking forward to seeing him again, much to her confusion and now that he was here, she oddly felt nervous. "I, um, I need to tell you something."
"Okay, sure." Jack started walking.
Kate fell in line next to him. "We couldn't send out a signal because there was another signal blocking it. The other signal - we heard it. It was a distress call from a French woman. She said that the others were dead - something had killed them all. She was alone on the Island. It's been playing for 16 years, Jack. I wanted to tell you." She looked at him to gauge his reaction.
"Anything else?" Jack asked calmly.
That was not the reaction she'd been expecting. Maybe some panic, a slight concern, but he acted like she'd just told him she found mangoes in the jungle. Kate felt a slight panic and looked toward the infirmary, wondering if the marshal had told Jack something. "How is he - the man with the shrapnel in his side?" she feigned ignorance of the man's identity in case her secret was still a secret.
"It's touch-and-go," Jack said casually.
Kate was still not sure if Jack knew something. "He wake up?"
"No, just for a few seconds during the surgery." That was all Jack offered. Kate didn't know it but he was waiting for her to confess to him.
His short answers were putting her a little on edge. "He say anything?" she pressed.
Jack looked out at the water. "No."
Kate relaxed as relief washed over her. She was glad that at last for now, he wouldn't look at her with disappointment in his eyes.

Jasmine sat on the sand next to the mess of a shelter she had made. It wasn't big and it didn't block out any sun, and It actually fell apart when a strong gust of wind came by. She had watched the waves and kept hold of Jordan's ring and the letter in her hand, she was scared to read it. The words 'I'm sorry Jazz' played in her head over and over again, the only three words she had read in the jungle. "I can do this, i can do this..." It was so hard but she knew she had no choice, she had to know what was in that letter. Slowly she unfolded the first part of the letter and than the second, spreading the paper out and looked down at the three words she had read a hundred times.
I'm sorry Jazz, i'm sorry that i made you so angry. I love you Jasmine, I have always loved you. When i first heard your voice, i knew you were something special. As you see i'm reading from a script because you know how awful i am at remembering what i want to say. you always said i couldn't act for shit, So I hope you can tell i am not acting now, that i mean this with everything I am. I wanted to surprise you with something, i was going to wait until we landed in LA, but i knew you'd make a scene. I lied about the tour, you don't have one. However you do have a very big date coming up in October or perhaps November? I want us to get married in New York, i want to give you that big white wedding you always wanted. When i wake up in the morning you are the first person i think of, you are always there and i can't see myself without you. You know I called your mom and told her the whole plan, she said it was about time i make an honest woman out of you. We've always been passionate about everything, a force together and i have always fought for you. Got you those big venues, big money, the best label, because you deserve the best and know you have everything- because you got me. Your the best kiddo and like i told you before and i will tell you again, 'Stick with me kid, and i'll make you brighter than any star in sky.' I kept that promise babe, your not just the brightest Star but the whole Galaxy.
Jord
By the end Jasmine had tear running down her face, finally they were going to get married, they were finally going to be official and now- they never would be. She folded the letter and put it back in his wallet and slipped it into her back pocket. Her stomach was in knots again and now she was full of all these emotions, she just didn't know what to do.

I listened to Sayid's speech and watched as people volunteered. I didn't speak up and figured I'd just help out wherever it was needed. People started to disperse and as I started walking back to the shore, I saw Jasmine. I took a hesitant step toward her and paused when I saw her reading the letter, waiting patiently until she finished.
I saw her crying as she put the letter away and wondered if I should leave her alone. But I couldn't leave her there crying, even if there was a chance she'd yell at me for trying to talk to her.
I cautiously made my way over and sat down next to her, hesitantly putting a comforting hand on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry," I said quietly. Seeing the heart-wrenching look on her face made tears sting the back of my eyes.

Jasmine heard the shuffle of sand, she didn't bother cleaning up her face. She didn't want pity but she didn't want to bother pretending she wasn't upset, when she heard Heidi's voice, she slightly felt better. "Is it wrong that I keep going between loving and hating him? He was going to say this to me in person, i could hear his voice as if he were right next to me." Jasmine swallowed hard, took a deep breath and looked at Heidi. "He was my world, the only man besides my dad i ever trusted. Now he's gone and I don't know what to do, i don't know how i'm going to be okay."

"Is it wrong that I keep going between loving and hating him? He was going to say this to me in person, i could hear his voice as if he were right next to me."
"No, it's not wrong. You don't really hate him. It's just... when you love someone that much, everything they make you feel is intensified."
"He was my world, the only man besides my dad i ever trusted. Now he's gone and I don't know what to do, i don't know how i'm going to be okay."
I've suffered through the loss of family members but I'd never lost someone I'd been in love with. Nor have I really been as intensely in love as Jasmine appeared to have been. "You will be okay. You're strong. It'll take time, but you'll get there." It was still too soon of a loss, too fresh of a wound and still at too much of an emotionally vulnerable state to delve any further into talk of moving on with life.
"Did you want to wait for rescue or did you--" I thought over my next words carefully, considering if I would be able to follow through with what I offered and decided, though it wouldn't be easy, I could help if it's what she wanted. "Did you want me to help you bury him?"
