DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lost, but I do own my ideas! Guess that's as close as I'm ever gonna get...

Ariana, Jack, Kate and Charlie were heading back through the jungle and back to where the rest of the losties had made their camp. Kate and Charlie were talking about something that happened in the cockpit. Jack was quiet, which is something that Ariana hadn't experienced from him. She was staring at his tattoos, which kind of looked cool in the eerie light after the storm. She wondered what kind of a person he was before the crash. He seemed nice, but then, maybe she did too. "Hey, Jack?" she asked, quietly.

"Yeah?" he replied, not looking back at her. She felt unwanted, a feeling she had been trying to bury for a long time. She picked a leaf from a nearby tree and started tearing it in half.

"Um, what did you do in the real world?" she asked. Jack laughed and smiled back at her. Ariana dropped the leaf. "I mean it! The tattoos make no sense for a guy like you."

"Yeah, I get that alot. I was a spinal surgeon. The tattoos were just a spontaneous decision, I didn't feel like going through the pain to get it removed. So, what about you? What kind of a person were you in the real world?" he asked, smiling at her. Ariana lowered her head and blushed. She didn't want to answer the question. It caused to much pain. Jack turned around, not waiting for her to answer. Ariana breathed in deeply, she had avoided the question. For now.

They had arrived at the camp just in time to see two men fighting. Jack ran over to them and pulled them apart. "That's it! That's it!" The Iraqi started speaking in Iraqi.

"You want some more of me boy?!" Sawyer yelled.

"Tell everyone what you told me! Tell them that I crashed the plane!" Sayid yelled back.

"The shoe fits buddy!" Sawyer screamed.

"What is going on?!" Ariana yelled at both of them.

"This guy was sitting in business class, hands folded under the blanket, didn't move once! And for some reason, JUST POINTIN' THIS OUT! The guy next to him didn't make it!" Sawyer explained.

"STOP!" Kate screamed. For some reason both of them stopped. "We found the transceiver, but it's not working! Can anyone help?!"

"Yes, I think I might be able too!" Sayid said.

"OH GREAT! PERFECT! LET'S TRUST THIS GUY!" Sawyer yelled again. Everyone glared at him, but only one man dared to stand up to him.

"Hey, man! We're all in this together. Let's try--." Hurley spoke up.

"Shut up, Lardo!" Sawyer glared. Hurley shut up and glared back.

"Hey!" Jack said. "Shut up!"

"Whatever you say, Doc! You're the hero!" Sawyer contradicted.

Ariana was looking around trying to find something to eat when Kate ran up to her. "Hey." Kate said, brushing by her. "Wanna have another adventure?"

"You know it!" Ariana laughed.

"Sayid said he fixed the transceiver, but we have to get to higher ground. Wanna come?"

"Sure." Ariana replied. Kate nodded and they both walked over to Sayid. All three of them were standing by some of the wreckage when a blonde woman and a brunette man came over.

"I'm coming with you." the woman said.

"No she's not. She's just making bad decisions to upset her family, which is at the moment ME!" the man said.

"Shut up and stop trying to be charming!" she said. "I'm going with you."

"I'm not so sure that's such a good idea--." Kate said, sharing a glance with Ariana.

"What are you? Two years older than me?! You're going aren't you?" Shannon asked Charlie, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Yup. Are you?" Charlie asked back.

"Yup."

"Yeah, I'm definitely going." Kate, Sayid and Ariana sighed. Kate was the one that spoke up.

"Fine. Everyone can come, but we're leaving now!" Kate said. The six of them started the trek to the mountain. They passed Sawyer, who was reading a letter. He looked up and saw them, he put the letter away and caught up with them once they were in the jungle. "I see you decided to join to us." Kate said.

"I'm a complex guy sweetheart!" Sawyer replied. Kate looked at Sayid and carried a pissed off expression. Ariana put her hand on Kate's shoulder and gave her a look that said, he's a jerk. Don't listen to him.

XxXxOoOo

The seven of them were in a line when Sawyer spoke up. "Okay. Wide open spaces. Why don't you check the radio?" He asked, everyone rolled their eyes. They were so over Sawyer's jerkiness.

"We're still blocked by the trees." Sayid said.

"Just check the damn radio!" Sawyer yelled.

"IF I JUST CHECK--!" Sayid was cut off by a roar.

"What was that?" Ariana asked.

"It's coming towards us I think!" Charlie said.

"I NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME ON THIS! AAH!" Shannon screamed, as Boone grabbed her arm and ran away. Ariana looked backwards and then started running. Sayid grabbed Kate and started running. Kate stopped and screamed.

"SAWYER!"

"Kate!" Ariana yelled. They all stopped when they heard gunshots. They ran back to Sawyer and saw that there was a bear at his feet.

"That's a big bear." Kate observed. Boone kneeled down and examined the bear.

"Guys. This isn't just a bear, it's a polar bear." he said.

"Polar bears don't live this far south." Shannon said back.

"Spot on." Charlie replied.

"She's right." Sayid said.

"This one does!" Ariana said, walking up to the rest of the group.

"Did. Did it did." Sawyer replied. He stuffed the gun back down his pants. They all looked at him.

"Where did that come from?" Kate asked.

"Probably bear village. How the hell am I supposed to know?" Sawyer replied, with a smile on his face.

"Not the bear, the gun!" Ariana said back, tired of his retorts.

"Took it off one of the bodies. Saw a guy lying there with an ankle holster and I took the gun 'cause I thought it might come in handy. And guess what . . . I just shot a bear!" Sawyer exclaimed

"Wait a minute, people don't usually carry guns on planes." Shannon spoke up.

"They do if they're a U.S. Marshal, sweetcheeks." Sawyer replied.

"How did you know he was a U.S. Marshal?" Kate asked, covering her face of all emotion.

"He had a clip-on badge. Took it 'cause I thought it was cool!" Sawyer said, pulling out a badge with a star on it. Ariana rolled her eyes.

"I think you're the criminal!" Sayid said.

"What?"

"Yes, I think that you knew he was a U.S. Marshal because you were the one he was bringing back to the states!"

"You're as suspicious of me as I am of you!"

"Yes, but you're the prisoner!"

"Okay. I'm the prisoner, you're the terrorist! We can all play a part. Who do you wanna be?" Sawyer said, looking at both Shannon and Ariana. Kate took the gun from Sawyer and pointed it at him.

"Does anyone know how to use a gun?" she asked.

"I think you just pull the trigger." Charlie replied. Ariana looked at him, trying to hold back laughter.

"Kate, don't use the gun!" Sayid said.

"I want to take it apart!" Kate said. Sayid went through some instructions, which Ariana didn't understand and probably wouldn't use at all. Kate gave the ammo to Sayid and gave the gun back to Sawyer. He grabbed her arm and they exchanged some stuff that was inaudible to everyone else. Kate stood by a tree and stared after Sawyer. Ariana walked by her and gave a sweet smile. They all continued their trek up the mountain
