Under the Sea, on Top of the World

Four

They swam and swam. Every once in a while they'd stop to take a break. They were in such a hurry to get off of the boat that they didn't realize that the snacks that were in their backpacks would get all soggy. They had to throw away some saltines and the Girl Scout tagalongs. The graham crackers were long gone and the tortilla chips had donated their salt to the sea. The only thing they could keep was their canned tuna and some A&W root beer (since 1919 ^_^).

"We need to do something to make the time pass by easier. We are hardly talking." Tracey said. "We can sing a song!"

"Uh, I don't think so Tracey." Said Misty.

"Um…I'm thinking of something blue. Something bluuueee." Said Ash. It was kind of funny how he extended the last blue.

"I'm not good at guessing games." Tracey said to play along.

"Ugh." Sighed Misty (anime sweat).

They swam for about another 20 minutes until they finally spotted a small Island. It had a large sandy beach and was decorated with lilies. The woods in the center were very thick could be used for shelter.

"Let's hope this Island is a sign of civilization." Misty hoped.

They trio swam ashore and Misty recalled her Pokemon to give them a good long rest. Tracey was looking at the splotchy map that was in his backpack the whole time.

"I think this Island is called Anthemoessa." He said turning the map over and over. "It might be Lemnos. Or is it Oceanus? I'm not sure."

"Help us Helios!" said Misty. If you aren't familiar with the Greek gods, Helios is the god of the sun who drove people away with a chariot that was driven with horses who had manes of fire. She probably meant it as ' Get us off of the island.' Either that or she was making fun of Tracey for something unknown.

Tracey laughed. "Maybe Heracles can help us."

"No. How can a hunter help us?" Misty said, referring yet to another Greek god.

"You guys read to much." Ash said. "Have you spotted anything yet on that map Tracey?"

"No, there are no towns within many miles. I think we are going to be stuck here for a while." Tracey informed Ash.

"NO!" Misty screamed. "I left my shampoo in the bathroom on the boat!"

"Right now Waterflower, that is the least of our worries. We need to ration food, find shelter, and make a home-made suntan lotion." Ash said.

Misty sighed and went into the woods hoping to find some leaf that may yield some aloe Vera. How long are they actually going to be stuck here? "I rather be on that pathetic boat then here." Misty said. Really?
