MORNING- DAY 1:

Danielle Nichols (14) leaned over on the window to look out over the ocean. Her brother, Oliver Nichols (14), was sitting next to her.

"You, okay, Dani?" he asked. Danielle turned to him with a bored face.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Danielle answered, sarcastically. "It's just that this trip is the most boring trip in the entire history of boring trips." She turned her attention to the seat in front of her.

"I agree." Zack Martin (14) said as he turned around to face her.

"Me too." Maxine (Max) Montgomery (14) said. She was sitting in the middle of Justin Daniels (14) and Colton Brown (14).

"I think everyone agrees." Oliver pointed out.

"I don't." Cody and Colton said at the exact same time.

"No one cares." Zack said.

"That's true," everyone except Cody and Colton chorused.

Zack turned to Cody and saw him typing something on his laptop.

"What'cha doin'?" Zack asked.

"Trying to find out all I can about Tanzania." Cody answered, not looking up from his computer.

"What's 'Tanzania'?" Zack looked at Cody with confusion.

"It's the island we're going to." Ashley said as she turned around to Zack and Cody.

"Hey, Cody, is Tampsania a good place for a vacation?" London Tipton (17) asked.

"London, first of all, it's 'Tanzania'. And secondly, it's a school trip, not a vacation." Madeline (Maddie) Fitzpatrick (17) said to her friend.

"But, London doesn't go to school." Rachel Wood (14) joked. Everyone laughed except London, who was still trying get why everyone laughed.

Finally London got the joke and replied. "I do to. Monday through Wednesday, 8:00-12:00."

"Okay, again, first of all, school is five days a week and…" Maddie started.

"Some of us come back after lunch." Justin replied.

Everyone was silent for a few minutes. The only noise you could here was the sound of Cody tapping on his computer.

Suddenly, the plane started to shake violently.

"What's going on?" Max shouted.

"We must be going through some turbulence." Cody shouted back, trying to keep his laptop from dropping onto the floor. The shaking only got worse.

Then, the pilot, Xavier Paulson, opened the door to the cockpit.

"Mayday, Mayday!!" he shouted. "We're going down!!"

Everyone held onto the armrests of their seats. It was about 5 minutes before anyone could tell that they had hit the ground.

"I think we hit the ground." Oliver said, relaxing a bit. Everyone relaxed and Danielle turned to him.

"What ground? We're in the middle of the ocean," she replied.

"Apparently there's some ground. Look out your window." Zack said, looking out his own window. Everyone noticed that they had landed hardly on an island in the middle of the ocean.

The pilot came out of the cockpit. "Well, we've landed," he said.

"Ya think." Danielle said standing up and walking towards the front of the plane.

Everybody climbed out of the plane onto the golden sand of an island in the middle of a vast blue ocean.

"Wow, this place is beautiful." Rachel said as everyone looked around.

"Yeah." Ashley agreed.

(A/N: There are three more characters I'm going to add to this, but they are not in any more of the chapters. But they are referred to and in flashbacks. Their names are Grant Cheavers, Paula Brooks, and Jeremiah Baylor. They are all 14.)

Grant, Paula, and Jeremiah had remained silent for a long time.

"Hey guys, look at the ocean." Zack said.

"It's so beautiful here!" Danielle inhaled the fresh sea air.

"The only bad thing is," Cody walked up to Zack and Danielle. "We have no idea where we are."

"Check you laptop." Colton suggested.

"No signal." Cody replied.

"Then what are we gonna do?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah, the plane's totally wrecked." Justin looked over at the plane.

"We have fun in the sun." Zack said.

"And make no effort towards being rescued." Maddie joined the group of younger kids.

"Rescue will come." London also joined the group.

"What if doesn't?" Ashley looked over at London.

The pilot spoke up, "I'm going to go into the jungle to look for civilization."

"What?" Cody turned to the pilot. "You can't go into the jungle alone. Something could happen."

"I'll go with him." Grant walked up to the pilot.

"Me too." Paula joined the two.

"We'll be safe in a group." Jeremiah said.

"You can't go." Maddie said.

"We have to." Grant said.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\2 HOURS LATER /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

The pilot, Grant, Paula, and Jeremiah were all packed up and ready to go.

"I still don't think this is a good idea." Maddie said, watching the 4 others getting ready to leave.

"I don't either." Cody stood next to her. "But there's no way to stop them now."

Zack, Danielle, Oliver, Colton, Justin, Rachel, Ashley, and London all stood next to each other wishing the others good luck and hoping they would be back soon.

"Where are Cody and Maddie?" Rachel asked.

"They're over there." Zack pointed to where Maddie and Cody were standing.

Rachel walked over to Cody and Maddie.

"Hey guys," she said.

"Hey." Cody mumbled.

"Hi." Maddie whispered.

"What's wrong?" Rachel asked.

"They shouldn't be going into the jungle. What if something bad happens to them?" Maddie said.

Rachel was silent. Finally she said, "We just got to hope that they'll be back safe."

"I guess." Cody nodded.

A/N: I hope you guys liked the first chapter. It was all about where they arrive at the island and the four extra characters go into the jungle. The next chapter is going to be more about them trying to survive. Sorry this chapter was so long, I just couldn't find a good place to stop it. R&R!!!
