How Many Suprises?
Chapter 1: A Ship wrecked Visitor
All of them were working really hard today, for some reason.
Lex was working in the plane, Taylor was boiling water, Daley and Nathan where picking fruit, Eric was looking for firewood, Jackson was fishing and Melissa was lugging water.
As Mel came back from the well, she was muttering.
"Melissa, hurry up. The only way I'm gonna boil water, is if I have water" Taylor said.
"Oh, and I guess you need a tan as well," Melissa said all girlie.
"Actually no, I already have a tan. But you need one"
Melissa gave Taylor a dirty look when she wasn't looking.
Mel had changed a lot, she wasn't miss nice girl any more, she was normal.
Jackson came back with 5 fish on his fishing line.
"Lunch is served," he said smiling.
"Cool, maybe I could go fishing with you sometime" Mel said sitting down and taking her hat off.
"Yeah, maybe we can go fishing for dinner after lunch?" Jackson said.
"But you have to lug water, Melissa. Maybe I could come with you,
Jackson" Taylor said turning her head from Melissa to Jackson.
"But you have water to boil, Taylor"
"I can still go with him"
"No you can't, because I'm going with him"
They both started screaming at eachother about disadvantages and advantages of their jobs.
Jackson started to walk away towards the plane.
"See, look what you did, you made him angry" Mel said.
Jackson rolled his eyes, and then walked back to the fighting girls.
"Guys, shut up!" he said.
Taylor and Melissa stopped yelling at eachother.
"I did asked Melissa" Jackson said to Taylor.
"But…but…" Taylor mumbled.
"No 'buts', Mel's coming with me," Jackson added.
"She has to lug water!" Taylor screamed.
"Well, we have enough firewood, I'll get Eric to lug water"
Taylor frowned and crossed her arms.
"So meet you, down at the water edge after lunch?" Jackson asked Mel.
"Sure"
"Problem solved" Jackson said.
"Yeah, problem solved" Melissa said to Taylor.
Taylor poked her tough out at Melissa as she walked away.
"Don't you poke your tough out at me" Melissa said not looking back at Taylor.
Melissa pumped her fist in the air and said,
"Score"
At the plane…
Lex popped up from behind one of the seats in the plane. He walked out of the plane and started walking towards the jungles edge to get Jackson so he could move one of the chairs out of the plane.
But then, he heard a ripping sound in the tree's about 15 meters away.
"Hello?" lex said loudly.
Then he saw someone running, probably 'cause he yelled.
"Is anyone there?"
But then he saw a big white thing moving real fast, suddenly what ever it was fell over, so it wasn't an animal of some sort.
Lex ran over to it, and when he saw what it was his eyes widened and smiled brightly.
To Nathan & Daley…"Nathan, can you come here?" Daley said in the trees.
"Yeah, sure" Nathan answered.
He walked over and pushed the palm branches away.
Daley was just staring at something.
"What is it?" Nathan asked.
He looked down at where she was staring at, saying,
"What the?"
It was a big piece of white cloth on the ground that looked like it had been ripped off a dress or something, and a 'Classic Hat Co.' cowgirl hat with shells on it.
"What's it doing here?" Daley said picking the hat up.
"I don't know, maybe it means someone else is on the island. Or there is civilisation on the island " Nathan answered.
To Lex…"Hi, I'm lex" he said putting helping her up.
"I'm Cariba," she said.
Cariba put her hand out and he helped her get to her feet again.
She was wearing a dress exactly like the one Hilary wore in 'A Cinderella Story', medium length brown hair with ringlets, white eye shadow, black mascara and eyeliner.
She was wearing silver leg tie high heels.
Her dress was ripped, it had dirt all over it, and it had seaweed on it and was damp.
"I have to tell the others. Guys! Gu-"
Lex was cut off by Cariba's hand over his mouth.
"There are others?"
"Uh huh" Lex said through her fingers that had long, bright orange tipped, fake fingernails.
Cariba took her hand off of his mouth slowly.
"Do you want to come to the plane?" lex asked.
"Plane? Plane, you have a plane?" Cariba said amazed.
Lex held out his hand, she put her hand out as well and grabbed his hand. They stood there looking into each other's eyes for a few seconds, but then Cariba broke the stare by saying,
"Uh…plane time"
They still held hands when they got to the plane, then they looked at each other awkwardly, then looked their hands that where still together.
Cariba pulled her hand to herself fastly.
"Um, the plane is…" there was a pause in her sentence.
"Old, crummy, wrecked" she added looking at lex.
"Yeah, I know" laughed lex.
"How did you get it here?" she asked.
"We crashed" lex sighed
"You crashed?"
"Yep" lex said fast.
"Ugh, I need to sit down" she said.
She walked over to one of the plane chairs that they took from the plane, and sat down.
The bottom of her dress was so big; it over flowed the seat.
She looked over the camp that the 29ers had made.
By now Taylor had stomped off, because of the fight she'd lost with Melissa, so Cariba and Lex where the only ones at camp.
Finally Cariba's eyes got to Melissa, who was at the jungles edge just staring at her. She stood up in her big floral dress and walked over to Melissa and said,
"Hi, I'm Cariba"
She put her hand out and smiled. Melissa put down the jugs of water and shook her hand saying,
"I'm Melissa, but call me Mel"
Melissa was still confused, but she was smiling delightfully.
"Do you want me to take one of them?" Cariba said pointing to one of the jugs.
"Uh, sure. If you can lift…… it" Melissa said as she watched Cariba took one of the jugs to the fire pit. Cariba was pretty strong; in fact, she was stronger than Lex.
"Woah, you're strong" lex said looking at Cariba.
As Cariba put down the jug she said,
"Thanks, it runs in my family"
Melissa took the other jug and sat down next to Cariba, and lex sat on the other side.
To Nathan & Daley…"Maybe we should tell the others," Nathan said while he picked up the ripped material.
"Totally" Daley assured.
They started running back to camp as fast as they could.
They could hear voices coming from camp, one sounded like Mel, the other sounded like lex, but who was the other one. It sounded like Taylor but they had just past Taylor while they where running like their lives depended on it.
"Guys!" Nathan and Daley started yelling to Mel and lex still running to camp.
"We found something," Daley said as they got to camp but not realising Cariba.
"So did I" lex said to Daley softly pointing to Cariba.
"Woah, who are you?" Nathan asked Cariba.
"I, I…I'm Cariba" she answered in shock to see more people.
Nathan walked over to the food box, and Daley walked over to the water box.
"You can have some water," Daley said.
"And food" Nathan added.
"Um, maybe just some water, and…do you have bananas?" Cariba asked.
"Fresh from the tree, that didn't really make sense, did it?" Nathan said laughing.
"Tree, tre" Cariba whispered to herself.
Her eyes filled with tears, she got out of her seat and started to run off into the jungle with her hands over her face. They could hear her crying fade as she went further into the jungle.
"Cariba, Cariba!" they all yelled.
Lex ran after her. She finally passed Taylor who was talking to Eric about something.
Taylor and Eric's heads turn to Cariba as she ran passed; she wasn't running that fast though, she still had her high heels on.
"What the?" Eric said with a frown.
"More like 'who the?'" Taylor said as she got up and started running with lex, who had just gone passed.
"Who are we chasing?" Taylor asked lex.
"Cariba"
"Cariba? Who's Cariba?"
"She's stuck on the island aswell, I found her"
Taylor stopped running with lex; she had a weird look on her face, like she was saying,
'Why would you want to chase someone boring?', she hadn't even met the girl and she hates her.
"Cariba, stop!" lex yelled.
He finally caught up to her and grabbed her arm.
"Cariba, you can't leave us. You'll get lost out there"
She swung around as he pulled her arm, she was crying really heavily now. Mascara filled tears ran down her cheeks.
"Cariba, what's wrong?" lex asked.
Cariba fell to her knees and sat on her feet; lex sat down facing her.
"Tre is my little 5 year old foster brother" Cariba said still crying heavily.
"where is he now?" lex asked.
"Back home, he probably misses me so much. I would play Power Rangers with him and my other 5 year old foster brother, davion"
She suddenly hugged lex, squeezing the back of his shirt. He hugged back; she felt his warm chest on hers.
"You have us" lex tried to calm her down.
Cariba felt a raindrop on her arm.
They leaned away and smiled at each other. Then Lex and Cariba felt raindrops everywhere, and then it got even heavier.
"We better get back to camp," Cariba said softly.
"Yeah" lex said as he hopped up.
Once again he held out his hand for her to grab. She held his hand and got up.
She picked up the front of her dress off the ground and they both started running towards camp. They finally got to camp and ran into the plane, where everyone else was.
"Lex, where have you been?" Daley said pulling him over and hugged him.
"Where do you think, I was running after Cariba" lex answered.
Daley let do of lex and pulled in Cariba and hugged her, but Cariba didn't expect it.
"AH!" she screamed as Daley pulled her in as hard as she could.
"Oh, you poor thing" Daley said.
"You're choking me," Cariba said with out breathing.
"Oh, sorry" Daley said letting her go.
She sat down in a seat, and then Taylor and Eric came into the plane, soaking wet.
"Man that's wet" Eric laughed.
"You think" Taylor said.
They didn't even realise Cariba until Taylor saw her in "her" plane seat.
"Who are you?" Taylor asked.
"I'm Cariba" she answered.
"Woah" Eric said wide-eyed and just staring at Cariba.
"What?" Cariba asked Taylor, who had a disgusted look straight at her.
"Your mascara's running"
"I was crying, what do you expect"
"Uh, and you're sitting in my seat"
"Oh, sorry" laughed Cariba as she got up.
"No, stay there" Daley said.
"I'll sit on the ground, it's ok Daley"
At that moment Melissa ran in with Jackson behind her, he yelled,
"Woo" while shaking his hair with his hands.
"Jackson!" Cariba yelled at Jackson with a smile.
Jackson's mouth dropped open and his eyes where wide.
Okay, that's the first chapter of the story. That's all!
Buh-bye!
