"Hey Belle, wanna go with my family on a vacation?" quipped Ned.
"Okay, if you want to. Where?" Belle replied
"Well, somewhere in the Pacific. Maybe the Solomons, with my family's friends."
"Wow! My parents are also planning to go there too!" Belle cried out.
"What a coincidence!" Ned burst in excitement.
Little did they know of the surprises they will encounter.
Ormoc International Port, the Eastern Philippines
"Dad, stop embarrassing me in front of my friend, please?" Belle pleaded.
"Like they always say, always prepared." Her dad followed behind with a rucksack full of unnecessary things along with their clothes and provisions.
"Just understand your Dad, my sochka. He's just getting used to travelling." her mother intoned.
"Hey, Belle! So are you ready for the most epic adventure of a lifetime?" Ned yelled as he and his father cruised into the entrance pier on Segways.
"Hell yeah!" Belle exclaimed and squealed in excitement along with her sister, Maggie.
"So you must be Belle. A very good morning. My son has told me a great deal about you." Ned's father greeted Belle.
"Thank you." Belle said with a laugh.
Just as the two families shared a conversation, a little girl interrupted them.
"Hello, my name is Esther. Nice to meet you both here. I hope we can be best friends." she greeted with a curtsy.
"Aww...she's so adorable when she's polite." Her adoptive mother commented.
"Very true..." Belle replied.
As they boarded the luxury liner, they were greeted by a band playing a folk tune, speaking of the uncertainty of life, a harbinger for days to come.
Three days later, The Solomon Islands.
"Alright, let's head to this platform here, ladies and gentlemen. We are about to begin the tour." The tour guide signaled everyone for the commencement of the tour.
"A'ight, let's go and find us something interesting to do." Ned called out to his friends Belle and Esther.
"I agree." Esther said as she ran off from the group.
"Hey, come back here! You'll get lost!" Belle warned the little girl.
"I'll get your daughter." Ned assured her father.
"Okay, but come back before 5, okay?" Mr. Grumman instructed.
Little did they know that it will take them 10 months to rejoin their families.
Esther, Belle and Ned ran a considerable distance from the group. At this distance they actually reached a seedy, forested part of the islands. Suddenly they spotted two men in red carrying assault rifles.
"Get down, now!" Ned whispered to the girls to crouch down behind the rocks.
Out of impulse, Esther crawled steadily into the big patrol boat, apparently owned by the pirates, without Belle and Ned noticing.
"Hello." Esther quietly mouthed out the words as she waved her hands.
"Come back here, you troublesome gremlin." Belle and Ned were already fuming with exasperated anger. They followed Esther into the boat.
When the boat started, the three hid themselves in a pile of crates containing guns. They were contemplating on what they will be experiencing...
A nightmare or a sweet dream?
