The golden orb rose high in the sky above the crisp, clear blue sea. Bellow the sky, laid an island. On the yellow, soft sand was a small gathering of sleeping beings. The camp fire that had been made, burned out on itself. The sleeping beings appeared to be young adults in pirate attire. Two of them were in close proximately; their bodies melded perfectly together while another pair of young adults were separated by a small distance in between them.
The pair of teens that were separated from each other stirred first. The boy blinked his eyes three times before his vision adjusted properly to his surroundings. He moved and subconsciously had let go of his lover's hand momentarily. He flipped up his dirty blonde bangs and sat up.
Zack tapped Maya's shoulder and gently kissed her cheek. She started to stir. Zack told her to wake up. Maya finally woke up and sat up with Zack.
"Good morning, Zack", Maya sweetly said.
"Good morning, Maya", Zack said.
Maya looked back at the other couple. Zack took the moment to look in the same direction that his girlfriend was looking. She looked back at him.
"Should we wake them", Maya asked.
"Nah… I'm sure they'll wake up eventually; just let them have their moment. We've got time until we have to pack up and continue our search for the blue cove", Zack said.
"Ok, you're right. They deserve not to be disturbed. Besides, I like how they look together. It makes me think that I might want that later when I'm ready", Maya responded.
"Yeah, we just let them be for now", Zack concluded.
As Maya and Zack had their conversation, Bailey and Cody were still in the same position as they were the night before.
Moments later Cody stirred and woke up, blinking three times. His eyes adjusted quickly to his surroundings. He remembered everything that happened thus far. He looked down at Bailey's face. He noticed the position that they were in and wrapped his arm around her even more tightly than before. Cody titled his head just enough to sniff in his girl's citrus scent.
Quickly, he smelled her scent again and it was pine and vanilla. It was absolutely magical for the young man to know that his favorite girl smelled tropical fruit that they had lunch the day before and now her natural scent lifted up afterwards.
The younger twin could help himself since he was experiencing a great amount of euphoria; that he leaned down to his sleeping angle and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. As Cody's soft lips parted Bailey's cheek, her eyes fluttered open. She turned her head to her one true love and smiled at him. He smiled back and they pecked each other's lips, which allowed Cody to move his arm from underneath Bailey's head. Cody then used his free arm to prop up his head in his palm. Bailey rolled herself around so she could face Cody but without moving out of his grip and propped up her own head.
"Good morning, honey", Cody sweetly said.
"Good morning to you too, sweetie", Bailey said just as sweetly.
"I love you", Cody said as snuggled his nose with Bailey's nose.
"I love you, too", Bailey responded.
"Do you think we should get up from our position", Cody asked.
"Well, as much as I love being in this position with you for forever, I'm sad to say that we have to move because we have to stop the pirates. Besides, we have the rest of our lives to have moments like this", Bailey reasoned.
"I guess you're right, Bailey. We do have all the rest of our lives to have moments like we had just now. Let's get up and pack up our supplies with Zack and Maya. They're probably waiting for us now", Cody said.
"Yes, let's get up", Bailey said.
Cody kisses Bailey's forehead and then he sits up. She sits up. He stands up and she starts to stand up herself but he helps her up the rest of the way. Bailey gives Cody a quick a kiss on the lips then she turns around, linking hands with Cody and they walk towards Maya and Zack.
The four teens organize a plan to pack their supplies and divide the tasks as they did the night before. Bailey and Maya put fold the blankets and put them away in each bag. Zack and Cody put out the rest of the remaining of the camp fire. The twin brothers then make a diagram of the island in the sand with a stick and x out the areas that they have already been. They know that the only place left is the north side of the island.
Cody and Zack then figured out that all the caves and coves on the island are next to each other, which meant that if they could find a cave then they could find the cove nearby. By the time that the twins have a plan, the girls come up to them and hand them their bags. The boys tell the girls their plan and the group heads off to the north side.
After two hours of walking along the shoreline of the northern beach of Barbados, the group of teens found a cave. They search around the cave and find multicolored flat rocks. They followed the trail of the rocks and found a cove that had blue reflected off the surface of the surrounding stone walls.
"This is great! There are no pirates to be seen and we found the blue cove but how do we know where to dig and what do we use to dig up the sand", Zack asked.
"I'm sure we can find some shovels lying around somewhere", Maya reassured.
The four teens walked in different directions, looking for shovels. Cody conveniently found four shovels and shouted to the group that he found some shovels. All of them attained one shovel for themselves.
"How do we figure out where to dig", Maya asked.
"It has to be somewhere warmer than the temperature of the rest of the sand", Cody said.
"How are we supposed to figure that out", Zack asked.
"Simple, we take off our boots so that we can feel the difference between the temperature of the normal sand to the sand with a warmer temperature with our bare feet", Bailey said.
"That actually makes sense", Maya said.
"So I guess we take off our boots", Cody said.
The teens take off their boots and start walking around with bare feet and shovels in their hands.
After ten minutes of searching, Zack gives out a pained groan.
"Ah, hot! That really hurts", Zack complains. He jumps backwards onto cooler sand.
Everyone else runs over and found out that Zack found the hot spot. Cody drops an ordinary rock to mark the spot and advises Maya help Zack heal his foot and start digging, He offered himself and Bailey to collect everyone's boots.
The teens put their boots back on for safety issues. Cody carefully digs the rest the sand because Zack is paranoid of getting burned any further. A golden glow seeps through the last few inches of sand that Cody digs out. After a minute, there the treasure lays before the young adults. Zack helps Cody bring up the treasure chest. Zack knocks off the rusted lock with the end of his pistol and lifts up the lid to the chest.
All of the teens' eyes bulged out at the sight of amount of treasure that was presented to them. There was an array of rubies, sapphires, gold pieces, silver pieces, pearls, golden swords and daggers, a silver chalice, a crown, ten diamonds and a huge golden and silver heart. Everyone had different ideas that they use the treasure for.
Cody thought of reporting the treasure to some sort of historic and scientific community. Bailey thought of using it for money to donate to charities that support sick and orphaned children, abandoned animals, and help find a cure for a deadly disease. Zack thought of taking it to exchange it for money to buy a huge gift for Maya. Maya thought of exchanging the treasure for money to support her family and maybe even for Bailey's family and the twins and their parents.
The teens all had different ideas but ultimately deciding to keep it safe away from the pirates and give it to the villagers once they release them. Cody and Zack thought they didn't need the treasure because they realized that they had something more important and valuable than treasure, which was family and friends, but more specifically each other as brothers, their parents, and last but not least; their girlfriends. Maya and Bailey decided that they didn't need the treasure because they figured that it's better to give the fortune to the villagers and that they already know they have the best riches in world, which is love from their families, from their friends and especially love from their boyfriends. Zack closed the lid to the treasure and turned around to the rest of the group.
"We've found the treasure now. What do we do with it", Zack asked.
"We give it the villagers once we have taken care of the pirates and have released the villagers", Bailey said.
"Before we give the treasure away, we should stash it somewhere safe so that the pirates can't find it", Maya said.
"Yes, you're right", Zack said.
"But where could we put it", Cody asked.
"Regardless where we put it, we need to find a great spot to hide it", Bailey said.
The group looked around for a place to temporarily hide the treasure. After awhile, Maya found a spot in a ditch in a small cave, behind four huge boulders, surrounding the cave.
"Over there", Maya exclaimed as she pointed to the spot.
Cody, Bailey and Zack turned their attention to where Maya was pointing and saw the ditch in the cave surrounded by four huge boulders. They stab their shovels in the sand where they were standing at the moment and separated into two smaller groups. Bailey and Maya kept an eye out for pirates near the cave while Zack and Cody fetched the treasure chest.
As the twin brothers lifted the chest, their muscles in their arms rippled and small beads of sweat started to form on their foreheads, slightly staining their bandanas. Bailey and Maya couldn't help but be breathless from the site of their boyfriends appearing so strong and looking so handsome. Bailey was much more surprised than Maya to see Cody so strong. It makes her glad to know that Cody has potential. Bailey truly believes that Cody could be stronger than Zack but most of the time he chooses not to be so athletic.
The boys carried the treasure chest. As they traveled the short distance to the cave, Cody asked if one the girls saw any pirates around and Bailey replied that they haven't seen any pirates. Two minutes pass by and the twins arrive at the cave and gently set down the treasure chest. They then proceed to slide it down into the ditch.
As Cody and Zack slide the chest in, Maya and Bailey fetch some palm tree leaves and branches to cover the ditch. The girls come back with palm tree leaves and branches just in time as Cody and Zack have finished putting the chest in the ditch. The girls lay the tree leave and braches over the ditch. The teens move away from the cave. They grab the shovels and throw them in the cave and put smaller boulders in front of the cave so that the pirates can't see the cave. Maya and Zack would not have worry about remembering where the treasure was because Cody and Bailey would be able to remember. The teens left the blue cove and set out to go back to the pirates hide-out and end things once and for all. But before they could go back, they had had to find the crew members who they asked to help them in the first place.
Two hours had passed by and the young adults were getting restless. They were starting to wonder what happened to the crew members and they wondered if the pirates were smarter than they appeared to be. The heard pirates nearby, groaning how they could not find the treasure. The Captain yelled at his crew for being losers and told them to go back to the hide-out. The teens were relieved that pirates couldn't find the treasure but they still wondered about the crew members that are supposed to help them.
After ten more minutes walking around, the teens saw two figures in the distance. Unsure of what could happen next, all four of them got their swords ready. The figures got closer and the teens could see that it was the crew members! The two adults spotted the group and started sprinting, happy that they could find them. Once they caught up to the teens, they explained to them that they lost track of them and had to rest since it got too late to search. Cody briefed the crew members what they plan to do and they agreed.
The security guards from the S.S. Tipton wanted to stop the pirates. The group of six headed back to the hide-out , ready to dive into their most epic battle with the pirates. The group rushed through palm trees and bounded over small streams along the way.
