I do not own Glee or the movie The Blue Lagoon. I don't really know the time frame on this, but it's not the same as the actual movie of course.
They had been stuck on this tropical island since they were ten. They didn't know where they were, or how to leave. They only had each other now. Before a Scottish sailor by the name of Will Schuester was with them. He was the one who rescued them from the burning ship. Their parents were in the other lifeboat and they got separated.
They had wandered for a couple of days with barely enough food and no water until one morning they woke up and saw paradise. Their weary tummies could rest now fully fed and they could ease their parched throats from the fresh water stream on the island. It was a miracle.
Once onto the island, the children got to know the sailor a little better. And Will Schuester really liked his liquor especially because a keg had washed up on shore. He was scary at first with his bumbling accent and tattoos on his body. He was especially intimidating when he grabbed them and told them to not eat those particular berries that they had put into their mouths. And he was particularly horrendous when he told them not to go to the other side of the island because that was where the boogeyman lived. Once he got alcohol in him though, he wasn't so bad.
He taught them how to live on the island. He taught the young boy to spear fish and to gather fruit. He instructed him how to make shelter by using the trees and palm fronds. Will illustrated him on how to build a fire and cook their food. He also built a signal fire and told them that anytime they saw a ship passing that they were supposed to light it. That would be the only way that they would be rescued. The only way that they would get off this bloody island.
He showed the girl how to catch fish just by using her hands. He directed her on the different animals that they could eat and catch like snails, lobsters, and clams. He educated her on how to sew so that they could have meager clothing and blankets once they grew out of the clothes they had now.
He instilled to them that to be naked was not proper all the time except when they went swimming. It got so bad one day that he had to run after them just for them to put their clothes on.
That was all that Will Schuester taught them before he died. On the fateful morning, Sam and Mercedes woke up looking for Will. They didn't find him until they spotted him on a far out bank. Wanting to wake him up, they went into the rowboat and padded out to where he was. Sam docked the boat and both Mercedes and him ran to Will to jostle him awake. When he didn't responded to the few pokes and prods that they placed on his side, Sam jabbed Will until the big man rolled onto his belly. Once they could see Will's face, both of the children gasped in horror. They knew what this was as a crab crawled out of Will's mouth. Will was dead and they didn't know how it happened. Now they only had each other. Not being able to handle what happened, Mercedes fainted right into Sam's awaiting arms.
Sam carried Mercedes back into the boat and then rowed them back to the shelter that they had built.
Once Mercedes came to, it was nighttime. She couldn't handle what happened and she wanted to get away from this place that would be a reminder to her of Will and his death.
"Take me away from this place, would you?" She asked Sam.
Willing to do anything for his friend and only companion now, he agreed and once the sun rose the next morning, they put all their possessions into the rowboat and looked around for a new place on the island to settle.
"This looks like a nice place." Sam said as they came to a breathtakingly beautiful lagoon on another part of the island. "Let's call it home."
"Okay." Mercedes accepted.
They got to work building a new shelter where they could sleep.
It was just them Sammy and Mercy (or Samson and Mercedes if they were angry with each other). It was just them on this island together alone.
So, do you like it or hate it? Let me know. Thanks for reading and I'm sorry for any mistakes that I missed.
