The sun was shining and the birds were singing. Everyone in the small Village were outside. Like every other morning, the males played music with their Ukuleles and Pahu Drums while the girls made breakfast. In the afternoon, the males would play music with their instruments and some would capture creatures from the sea to eat while all the girls danced. This morning everyone was there except for Brycen, Charlene and Alvin.
Brycen usually shared his handmade Cabin with Charlene even though she had her own Cabin. Brittany did knew that her cousin sleeps with Brycen but, she didn't know that Charlene also sleeps in his Cabin. Not even her sisters or anyone else in the island knew. Anyway, the two were exiting Brycen's Cabin and were making their way where the others were.
Meanwhile with Alvin...
He was in his Cabin and he was bored. He knew he wasn't allowed to come outside but he was so bored and hungry. Just as he thought he was going to die either from boredom or starvation, he hears a knock coming from outside. "Can I come in?" he hears a voice. Finally, will they at least let him get some fresh air? "Uh yes you can come in" replied Alvin. The bamboo beaded curtain shakes and someone walks in. It was the girl who's the head of the Village in the island, the ruler. It was Chief Brittany who says "Sorry, I forgot to tell the two guys who were watching you, to tell you that you can come outside and get breakfast" Alvin doesn't know why but he smiles and says "Oh... thanks... Um-" "Miller, Brittany Miller is my name... Alvin" she cut him off.
Alvin scratches his head nervously and says "Oh nice to meet you Brittany Miller" he then grabs her hand and kisses it. Brittany tries to hide her red cheeks by looking away and pretending to cough. "So, when are we going?" asked Alvin. Brittany looks at him and says "Right now" and with that said, they go outside.
Meanwhile with Brycen and Charlene...
They were eating breakfast and chatting. Brycen was curious about this Alvin intruder so he starts asking questions. "Jeanette Eleanor, what do you two know about the intruder?" Brittany's sisters look at each other and they shrug. "All we know is that the cap belongs to he or she-" "It's a he" Brycen interrupted Jeanette. "You saw him?" asked Eleanor. Brycen was going to reply but then, Charlene points at someone and then everyone was quiet. The males stopped playing music. All eyes were on Chief Brittany and the intruder who approached the others. Brittany sits on a log and scoots over so Alvin can sit between her and Jeanette. Everyone was shocked that Brittany let this intruder that she didn't even know, join them for breakfast. "Everyone, I would like y'all to meet Alvin Seville" said Brittany. It took everyone five seconds to just say hi. "Alvin, tell us about yourself" said Brittany before handing him a bamboo plate that had an Omelette with salmon next to it. Alvin had questions and he wanted answers. He wanted to know why Chief Brittany was being so nice to him.
Alvin tells them everything they wanted to know. Everyone had questions for him. Especially Bryson who started to hate Alvin. He just wanted to embarrass Alvin in front of everyone. Brycen was trying to impress Brittany but his attempts weren't working. "Oh yeah, you're a rockstar? How much do you make a year? What's the name of your band? When is your next concert? Where and when do you take-" "BRYCEN" Brittany yelled because he was being rude and was starting to annoy everyone. Brycen looks at Alvin with a scowl on his face. Candice, Brittany's best friend approaches Alvin and says "sorry about Brycen's rude behavior. He doesn't like it when any guy who is handsome like you, gets so much attention. Especially from all the girls in this island"
Alvin blushes and everyone snickers at Brycen who looked furious. "Um it's okay" replied Alvin. He had finished eating and was now waiting for instructions from Brittany. Everyone except Brycen, tells Alvin all about the island and about something horrible that happened.
Brittany and everyone else who live in the island, have been living there for five years. They got there by using lifeboats that were carried by a ship. Yes, they were all in a ship that unfortunately crashed with another ship. A lot of people died and only few survived. The survivors got on life boats and came to this island. Everyone lost at least one family member. It was awful. When they finished telling Alvin everything, they were in tears. Alvin felt like crying to. It was a sad story. "and that's what happened. You see those two kids over there? The boy's name is Brandon and the girl is Bridgette. Their parents died in the crash. They had no one except each other. I love kids, especially them so, I have been taking care of them. They love me and they know I'm not their real mom. However they still treat me like i'm their real mother. My sisters love those two kids as well and they help me take care of them" said Brittany who feels blessed for having amazing sisters and for having two adopted kids.
Alvin was speechless and he felt bad for everyone in the island. He wished he could do something to bring their spirits up. Suddenly a question comes back in his mind. "Um Chief Brittany, why... did you not punish me for coming here? and why have you been so nice to me?" asked Alvin. She was expecting for him to ask that and she says "Alvin, I knew who you were when I saw you. I remember seeing you on tv. I only saw your first performance with your brothers five years ago. Anyway, I found a boat and a cap that has your name. At first I didn't think it was you but then, when I was at my cabin, Bridgette came and showed me your wallet that had a picture of you. That's when I realized that it was really you Alvin Seville" Alvin was flabbergasted that she was the only one who knew who he was without him having to tell her. He was glad that she recognized him.
"Anyway, I was wondering if I could show you around the island. It's small but a great place to live in. You'll like it" said Brittany before grabbing his empty bamboo plate and giving it to another female that's one of her friends. "Alright, sounds great. What time would-" "Around seven in the afternoon because it isn't so hot at that time" said Brittany shyly. Alvin accepts and he goes back to his Cabin and as he walked away, he was getting an angry look from Brycen who was jealous of him.
