Okay, lovies! This is chapter three! I hope you ADORE it because I ADORE you!

Only minutes later Ezra was covered below the neck in sand. Cara squealed with delight as Ezra made funny faces for her. Aria laughed sometimes, too. Ezra had to gather some food for them though so Aria had to help him out.

"Holy shit . . ." Ezra mumbled as they all set of into the brush. "What?" Aria asked but followed Ezra's gaze. It looked like a . . . iPod? She picked it up and turned it on, and it actually turned on . . . with a full battery. "What the-"

"I know!" Ezra laughed as she looked at it. She tried with no avail to find signal. "Ugh", she sighed half heartedly, already expecting it to not have signal anyway. "Well, on the bright side lets see what songs are on this bad boy." Ezra bit his lip.

"How did it even get here? And . . . survive?" Aria mumbled, puzzled, as she began to turn on the music icon. "Miracle of god . . ." Ezra said then, seeing Aria's face backtracked. "Or, Y'know, Gods . . . maybe Goddesses!" he mumbled and she smiled a satisfied grin at him.

"Ooh, I loved this song on True Blood!" she sighed as 'Bad Things' came into view. "I don't know, aren't the lyrics a little . . ." he trailed off nodding towards Cara in Aria's arms. She smiled, "Oh, Ezra, like she'd even know what the lyrics meant!"

"Well that's what I mean, Aria, she won't know. Then she'll ask questions. Then we'll lie. Then she's be messed up for life. Then . . ." Ezra would have continued but Aria cut him off. "Ezra, she's three. We aren't going to scar her anymore than what happened a few days ago did, okay?" Aria looked in his eyes and he finally a gave in. "Okay, play the damned song . . ." he chuckled lightly. "Gladly", she smirked, clicking it on with ease and the quiet Island seemed to illuminate with it.

". . . When you came in the air went out
And every shadow
filled up with doubt
I don't know who you think you are
But before the night is through
I wanna do bad things with you

I'm the kind to sit up in his room
Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue
I don't know what you've done to me
But I know this much is true
I wanna do bad things with you, okay . . ."

"Okay enough of that . . ." she said as she searched for another song. "What?" Ezra laughed. "You were practically ready to break moral boundaries for this song!" Ezra smiled broadly, quite tickled by this. Aria was too.

"And now I'm bored! Ooh, Elton John!" Aria clicked the song and sat down Cara on the floor. "Bennie and the Jets? Great song." Ezra smiled. Aria took his hand and twirled herself around. "Fantastic song!"

Ezra laughed before letting out, "Hey kids, shake it loose together! Spotlight's hitting something that's been known to change the weather! We kill the fatted calf tonight so, stick around . . ." but he stopped when Aria just kept smiling slyly.

"What?" he smiled. "I had no idea you could sing . . ." she just smiled. He swung her around and dipped her so fast she almost stopped breathing. "Oh, I got moves you ain't never seen!" Aria and him both burst out laughing as they continued dancing.

After two or three more songs and tomes of dancing to tune of Cara's laughing and off-beat clapping, Ezra thought it was a good idea to save the battery and turn off the iPod touch. Aria agreed and then wrapped in a big leaf so it wouldn't get sand in it or anything, then she stuck it into a hollow palm tree.

Cara cried for a little bit and her words were exactly, "Why wh-why n-n-n-n-no mor-r-e muussiiiicc?" she whined sadly. Ezra picked her up and tried to explain but ended up just lolling Cara to sleep. When they wrapped her up in the blanket aria had found they decided to go find that fruit they never made it to.

After a while they picked up some bananas and blueberries. "I'm so tired . . ." Aria murmured as she plucked the last few plumbs she had surprisingly found. She stretched and heard her joints pop. "I know but we just need some food and we can turn in for a bit." Ezra popped one of the blueberries into his mouth.

"I want to sleep now though. I feel really . . . a little . . ." Aria couldn't finish her own words. With that she dropped helplessly to the sandy grounds. All the fruit she previously help clattered all around her. Ezra dropped his things and picked Aria up even though she wasn't responding. "Aria, please. Please wake up. Wake up, please please please! Don't you dare give up on me. On Cara! Please do not leave me . . ."

But Aria's eyes remained closed and her breathing was soft and stable but almost inaudible. Ezra stared down at her, her pale skin seamed see through at the moment. Her hair was silken and fell softly around her shoulders. And her lips, which had usually held a smile, was now a flat line of despair.

"Aria . . ." he breathed " . . . I love you."

I'm sorry I have to leave you with a cliff hanger like that but that is why you love me, right? LOLz, read and review babies!
