Hullo all… I'm on an updating rampage. Funny, because it's almost 2:30 in the morning and this is the last thing I thought I'd find myself doing…

After Melissa and Lex had finished gathering firewood, the guys came back from their morning swim.

"That was refreshing." Nathan said, sitting down next to the fire.

"Chyeah…" Eric nodded and took off his cap. "I hate to admit it, but it feels good to be back…" He said looking up at the blue sky.

"Yeah, you say that now because you don't actually have to do any work because your survival doesn't depend on it." Daley remarked.

Jackson chuckled.

"What's so funny chief?"

Jackson shrugged. "Where are Taylor, Jory and Abby?" He asked looking around.

"Abby and Jory are picking fruit and as usual, I have no idea where Taylor is."

"I'll go find her!" Eric said and took off, running towards the beach. He had barely left, when he was back again. He bent down and grabbed a water bottle out of the cooler.

"What do you need that for?" Melissa asked suspiciously.

Eric shrugged. "Old times sake." He grinned and ran off again.

Ian rolled his eyes. "Man, I feel really sorry for you guys."

"Why's that?" Lex asked.

"You had to live with that for 28 days? How'd you do it?"

Daley laughed. "Lord knows!"

"Abby… Do you get the feeling we're being watched?" Jory whispered, looking over her shoulder.

"C'mon Jor, we've been all over this island. There's nothing here but animals and currently 9 kids." Abby assured her friend, reaching up and picking a bunch of bananas.

"So you think it's an animal watching us?" Jory asked, stumbling over the bumpy ground as she followed Abby back to the campsite.

"Probably just a bird. Trust me Jor, we're the only humans on this island."

They entered the campsite and dumped the fruit on the sand beside the fire. Jackson was boiling water, Nathan was cleaning fish, Lex was reading a book and Ian was cracking coconuts.

"Hey guys." Jackson said, looking up at the two of them.

"Hey."

"Hi." Jory said nervously.

Jackson looked at Jory questionably.

"She thinks there's someone else on this island with us." Abby explained.

Jackson chuckled. "Don't worry Jory, the island was searched after we were rescued. Nothing but animals, fruits, plants and a million bugs."

Jory nodded. "I know…. But I just felt like I was being watched-"

"Mrs. Speckles!" Lex cried suddenly, standing up. The group followed his gaze, and indeed Mrs. Speckles had made her way through the jungle to the campsite.

"Did she lay any eggs?!" Nathan asked, standing up.

"I found your watcher." Jackson smiled.

Jory grinned in relief.

"I don't think it matters if she had lain any eggs… We're leaving tomorrow, remember?"

"Oh yeah…" Nathan said, looking into the distance. "Feels really weird though. None of the things we're doing right now really matter…"

"That's why I'm not doing any of it." Eric sneered, coming into the scene. "Daley's down at the beach telling Taylor to charge the solar batteries and Melissa's collecting seaweed. Honestly, can't they just wait?"

"I'm sure Daley's just worried we won't be back again tomorrow." Nathan said. "She just wants to make sure everything goes alright just incase anything happens and we don't get back home tomorrow-"

"Don't say that!" Eric snapped, his eyes wide. "We'd better get home, or I might just swim."
