"Jack!" Turning around, Jack saw Hurley standing a couple feet away from the group, panting. "We can't find Claire, Dr. Foreman and Angela anywhere... they've been gone way too long to get water."

Jack stood up. "Alright... let's head into the forest to look for them.


"Alright, we're on the right path... the waterfall's only a couple of minutes away from here." Jack explained. "They must be around here somewhere." A loud roar was heard, causing Wilson and Hodgins to jump in surprise.

"Holy shit." Wilson whispered. "What was that?"

"That was the monster." Jack said, and Chase, Wilson and Hodgins looked at him like he was crazy. "It's a long story. But it's a very dangerous creature."


"Angela!" Hodgins said, surprised, and Angela turned, finally noticing everybody there. "Are you okay?"

Angela nodded, smiling. "Of course I'm okay... why wouldn't I be?"

"We heard you scream and we thought that you were hurt or something." Hodgins told her and walked over to the water's edge, staring down at her. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Swimming over to the edge, Angela jumped out of the water. "I'm fine, Jack. Foreman and Claire just thought that it would be funny if they played a little prank on me."

Foreman chuckled. "Hey, you gotta admit, it was pretty funny."

Claire nodded. "Sorry if we were gone for too long... we just got a little distracted."

Jack sighed. "Just... give us a warning next time or something."


Sayid sighed and stood up. "I think that I'm going to go look for the group... they've been gone a long time."

Brennan looked up at him. "Are you sure that that's safe? You know, you going all by yourself?"

"I'll be fine." Sayid told them and walked away.

Cameron sighed. "I sure hope that everyone's okay."


Exiting the forest, Angela and the others walked back to the camp, alerting the other survivors of their arrival.

Cameron ran up to Chase and hugged him tightly. "Thank god you're okay!"

Chase smiled lightly. "I'm okay... we found them."

Letting go of Chase, Cameron walked over to Foreman and hugged him as well. "Jesus, Foreman, you scared me half to death... we all thought that you guys were dead."

"Sorry, Cam." Foreman apologized, smiling.

Hurley glanced around with a worried look on his face. "Where's Sayid?"

"Oh, he went looking for you guys alone." Cameron informed him. "Is there any way that you could communicate with him to tell him that you're okay?"

Kate shook her head. "No... we don't have any means of communication." She sighed. "He'll probably figure it out soon enough that we're not in the forest. He'll have to come back sometime."


The moon shone lightly on the ocean before Cameron's eyes. It was so calming to her, yet so ferociously aggrivating. She felt a huge urge to go and talk to a patient, or even answer House's email. Anything that doesn't involve being stuck on the island that she was currently on. She wondered if they were even ever going to get off. Suddenly sensing a presence behind her, she turned around to see Claire hovering above her with Kate, Angela and Brennan on her tail.

"Hey... mind if we join you?" Claire asked Cameron. "The guys are talking about sports... obviously not our area of expertise."

Cameron chuckled at the thought of House joining in on that conversation. "No, not at all."

The rest of the women sat down, forming a circle along with Cameron. Every woman in the group was wearing some type of tank top that they had brought with them in their suitcases, and long pants. Although it was warm during the day, it could get pretty chilly at night when the winds were around.

"So, how is everybody adjusting to the island?" Kate asked them, not including Claire.

Angela shrugged. "Well, it's not exactly the type of vacation that I had imagined, but it's turning out to be pretty fun. Right, Bren?"

"I don't exactly refer to being stuck on an island with practically no food or water and no help 'fun', Ange." Brennan said to Angela, who rolled her eyes in response.

Claire smiled, and then turned to Cameron. "What about you, Allison? How are you adjusting?"

Cameron wanted to tell them about how she had desperately wanted to go home and hated being stuck on the island, but she decided against it. "Pretty well. I'm just worried about House. He can get to be an asshole without his Vicodin."

Scoffing, Claire blew a piece of hair out of her face. "I thought that he already was an asshole." Her comment caused Cameron to chuckle lightly.

"Vicodin?" Kate asked Cameron, befuddled. "Is that some type of medicine?"

"Yeah." Cameron remembered that these women weren't doctors like herself. If she were to talk about medicine, they would probably have no clue what she was talking about. They would have thought that she was a lunatic or something. "It's a strong medication that wouldn't usually be perscribed to somebody like him... he's a drug addict." She sighed. "When he goes through detox, he can get pretty nasty."

"So how come he hasn't gone into detox yet?" Brennan wondered. "It's been a while."

"I'm not sure." Cameron thought for a moment. "He actually should have gone into detox a while ago." She suddenly grew tired of talking about House.

Claire sensed Cameron becoming slightly annoyed, and so she decided to change the subject. "So, Allison... are you in a relationship with Dr. Chase?"

Cameron suddenly grew red as Claire's question echoed through her ears. "Uhm... it's... well, it's complicated." It was true. Although Cameron always knew that she loved House, she began to develop new feelings for Chase. Despite the fact that she always told him that all she wanted was sex, she knew that she wanted something more than that. Cameron wanted to have an actual relationship with Chase. She loved Chase. Yes, she did love House, but not as much as Chase. As her fingers would intertwine in his hand, she could feel a tingling sensation run throughout her body. She had never felt this way with him before, but she liked the feeling.

"Allison." Brennan said softly, shaking Cameron's arm softly. "Allison... can you hear me?"

Finally aware of Brennan in front of her, Cameron looked away from the ocean that she was staring at. "Oh... sorry. Just spaced out a little."

"Well, it's getting pretty late. We should be heading to bed." Kate told them and stood up. "We have to get up early to go in the forest."

Angela gulped. "You mean in the forest where that loud, scary monster thing was?"

Claire chuckled. "You'll be fine. As long as we have the guys with us, us girls will be perfectly fine. Besides, you have Dr. Hodgins to protect you, if you know what I mean."

Angela glared playfully at Claire and all of the women headed back to the tents.
