The Next Morning

Rigby woke up, just after the sun had risen. He noticed that Mordecai wasn't next to him. "Mordecai…?" Rigby called, getting off the ground. Ethan woke up a short time later, and heard Rigby's calls. "Hey, why are you shouting?" Ethan yawned. "I can't find Mordecai." Rigby replied. "Wasn't he next to you?" Ethan asked. "I think so." Rigby began to get worried. "Don't worry, I'm sure he's just out collecting more wood." Ethan tried to reassure Rigby, but unfortunately it didn't work.

"We should look for him." Rigby replied, beginning to walk away from the camp. "Okay." Ethan replied, getting up and walking over to Rigby. "Okay…is there any sign of where he might of gone? Bird tracks or something?" Ethan asked. "No, just foot tracks." Rigby pointed to some footprints leading into the forest.

Ethan and Rigby made their way into the forest, where they immediately noticed a body lying in a grass patch. Rigby walked over to the body and tried not to puke. The body had his intestines coming out of his stomach. Ethan and Rigby immediately noticed who it was.

"David…? David…? Wake up David…wake up…" Ethan knelt over the body. "He's dead Ethan…" Rigby sighed. "I…I know…" Ethan replied, shedding a few tears. "Let's just go…we need to find Mordecai too." Rigby said. "Yeah…but how did this happen?" Ethan asked. "Not sure…" Rigby sighed. "Let's get back to camp…" Ethan said, standing up. "How are we gonna tell the guys about David?" Rigby asked. "We won't tell them, especially not Shaun, David and Shaun were very close friends." Ethan sighed.

"Alright. Now, where's Mordecai?" Rigby muttered. "Maybe he's just at the camp or near the outcrop?" Ethan asked. "I hope he is…" Rigby frowned. Ethan looked at Rigby and noticed the sadness in his eyes. He would help Rigby find his friend, because that's what friends are for. Ethan patted Rigby on his shoulder and said; "We'll find him." Rigby smiled back at Ethan and thanked him.

The two men made it back to camp, where they searched for Mordecai, but couldn't find him. "Maybe he…no…" Rigby began to panic. "Don't panic…" Ethan calmed Rigby down. "Okay…but where is he…?" Rigby frowned. "I'm not sure, but I know we'll find him…I know we will." Ethan reassured Rigby, before heavy rain began to descend onto the forest.

Meanwhile, Mordecai woke up in a whole different place. He noticed neither the camp nor Rigby were next to him. All that was next to him, was a pile of branches, a small creek and some bushes. "Rigby…?" Mordecai called. "Rigby!?" Mordecai shouted. Mordecai got up off the ground, as the rain began to pour. "Maybe I…sleepwalked?" Mordecai asked himself. "Ever since these nightmares I've had a tendency to sleepwalk." Mordecai continued having the conversation with himself.

"But…where am I?" Mordecai thought, scratching his head. Mordecai held his back as he began to stretch, he was still very sore from the crash. Mordecai studied his surroundings and tried to figure out where he was. He knew he was far from the camp, due to there being not many mountains around him.

Suddenly, Mordecai noticed smoke coming from nearby, he had his hopes up, and for it being the camp or the crash site of their plane. As Mordecai got closer, he noticed it wasn't the outcrop they were camping at. It was an aircraft. He was hoping it was their aircraft, so he could retrace his steps back to the outcrop camp.

As he got closer, he noticed it wasn't the Pan-Am plane, it was a DHL cargo plane. Mordecai got closer to the wreckage of the aircraft and thought; "This must be the aircraft that hit us!" Mordecai surveyed the crash, looking for any survivors, but there was none. Mordecai just sat near the smoking plane, in the pouring rain, hoping that he would find his friends. Mordecai fell into deep sleep soon after.

At this time, Rigby and the other 6 survivors had searched a large area looking for Mordecai, with no luck. "Where could he be, god damn it!?" Rigby shouted. "This is crazy…he wouldn't have just walked off…" Ethan sighed. "Did you guys have a fight last night?" Shaun asked. "No." Rigby sighed. "Does he sleepwalk?" Ethan asked. "No, but recently, I wouldn't be surprised, due to all the nightmares he's been having." Rigby replied.

"Where should we look?" Shaun asked. "Not sure, we've looked everywhere." Ethan sighed. "God…damn...just…fuck!" Rigby exclaimed. "Calm down." Shaun demanded. "Sorry…I'm just not used to being separated from Mordecai." Rigby looked at Shaun, with a depressed look on his face. "We'll figure it out, why don't we try looking over there?" Shaun asked, pointing to a nearby creek.

"Okay." Rigby wasted no time, he ran towards the creek, with the rest of the survivors following close behind. "The creek starts here." Rigby pointed out. "All we have to do…is follow the creek, right?" Shaun asked. "Exactly. He could be down here, so keep an eye out." Rigby responded, walking along the bank of the creek.

A couple of hours later, the survivors stopped for a couple of minutes near the creek. "We've been walking for hours." One of the survivors complained. "At this rate we'll die before finding this guy." Another survivor sighed. "I know it's tiring, but we have to keep moving!" Ethan encouraged. "No…I'm done here. I'm going my own way." Another survivor said, getting off the ground. "Yeah, me too." Another survivor agreed.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go aswell." A third survivor agreed, walking over to the other two survivors.

"What about you?" Shaun faced the fourth survivor. "No, I'll stay with you guys." He smiled. "Well, good luck I guess." Rigby sighed. "You too." The three survivors walked off, disappearing into the forest nearby. Shaun walked over and sat next to the other survivor. "What's your name?" Shaun asked. "It's Jason." The survivor replied, sighing a little. "Well, Jason, thanks for sticking with us." Shaun smiled.

"Only four of us left…excluding Mordecai." Ethan sighed. "Let's keep moving." Rigby got off his feet and began to walk along the bank of the creek again. Ethan, Shaun and Jason exchanged looks before following him down the bank of the creek. "What ever happened to David?" Shaun asked. "Not sure." Ethan lied, exchanging a glance at Rigby. "Well, is he with Mordecai?" Shaun questioned. "I think so…" Ethan lied again. "Okay, well I hope we find them." Shaun frowned.

Thirty minutes later, Rigby and the other three survivors noticed a large pile of black smoke in front of them, as they got closer, they noticed it was a fallen plane, with the letters; "DHL" written on the side. "This might have been the plane that hit us." Ethan sighed. "Look!" Jason shouted, pointing to a large rock. Mordecai was resting on the rock. Rigby ran over to his asleep friend and shook him awake. "Mordecai, wake up!" Rigby repeated.

"Huh…what…Rigby?" Mordecai exclaimed. "I thought you were gone!" Rigby smiled, giving his friend a big hug. "I don't know how I got here." Mordecai replied. "What happened here?" Jason asked, walking over to Rigby and Mordecai, with Ethan and Shaun following him close behind. "Not sure, I found the plane like this." Mordecai replied.

"Well, I'm glad we found you." Rigby smiled. "Yeah, me too." Mordecai replied. Rigby helped Mordecai get up and led him over to the nearby creek. "What happened? Weren't there more of us?" Mordecai questioned. "Yes, there were, they ditched us. Only Ethan, Shaun and Jason stayed." Rigby replied, glancing at the three survivors.

"What about David?" Mordecai asked. "Yeah, what about David? You guys said he was with Mordecai!" Shaun shouted. "We gotta tell him Ethan." Rigby sighed. "We found David's body in the forest near our camp, before we searched for Mordecai." Ethan explained. "B-body…?" Shaun stared at Ethan. "Sorry Shaun, he's dead." Ethan sighed.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've dealt with death before you know, I could've handled it, and I'm not a child." Shaun groaned. "But I…" Ethan began. "Don't worry." Shaun sighed. "Let's just focus on the task at hand." Shaun continued. "What do we do now…?" Jason asked. "See if we can find some shelter?" Mordecai suggested.

"Alright." Rigby replied. "Sounds like a good plan." Shaun replied. Mordecai looked up at the sky and noticed some harsh weather coming their way. "Looks like a nasty storm." Mordecai pointed out. "Yeah, looks like a hurricane is coming." Rigby sighed. "Let's find some shelter pronto." Jason said. "Yeah, I don't want to be out when a hurricane is going on." Rigby gulped. "Over there!" Mordecai pointed out.

There was a waterfall which had a cave behind it. "That's a solid place to sleep, but how do we get in there?" Shaun shrugged. "There." Rigby pointed to some rocks, piled in a row, making an almost perfect path into the cave. The 5 remaining survivors scaled the rocks and climbed into the cave. It was very dark in the cave, so Rigby decided he would go get some logs so that they could make a campfire.

A few minutes later, Rigby came back with his hands filled with logs and sticks, he placed them next to the survivors and lit the campfire, within record time. "Nice job." Mordecai complimented. "Thank you." Rigby smiled. The remaining survivors sat by the campfire and exchanged stories. But one important subject came into mind; what were they going to eat?
