Finn and Amanda spent the night in the cave. It was dark and cold, and Amanda almost got Hypothermia, if Finn did not have to start a fire.
Either way, they made it through the night.
The next morning Finn woke up first. The fire was slowly dying. He yawned and walked outside, staring at the sunrise.
"This island would be paradise," he said in his mind. "If only it wasn't inhabited by pirates.
Amanda woke up a few minutes later. She ran up to Finn and kissed him good morning.
Finn smiled uneasily.
"What's wrong?" Amanda asked.
"We can't keep living like this," Finn said. "Sleeping in caves and hiding from pirates. These caves could get invaded by animals."
"So what do you propose we do?" asked Amanda.
"I think we should build a tree house or hut," said Finn. "We can keep ourselves warm and not have to live in darkness anymore."
Amanda was surprised.
"But where will we get the supplies?" asked Amanda.
"There are sticks, trees, and huge leaves everywhere," said Finn. "We can also use vines to attach them."
"It won't be enough," said Amanda. "We would need blankets, and possibly nails."
Finn had an idea. He really, really did not like it.
"We could…try to steal from the pirates," Finn said.
"WHAT!?" Amanda yelled.
"It might be the only way!" Finn said.
"But if we are caught, we are dead!" Amanda said.
"Then we go when they are not around," Finn said. "We spy on them and wait for all of them to leave. They have to go out sometime."
Amanda sighed uneasily.
"I hate the idea, but what other choice do we have?" she asked.
Finn hugged Amanda.
"Let's go," Finn said. "And also remember in case of emergency, we can use our powers."
"You mean my power," Amanda said.
"No I have a power too," Finn said. "And you have the same."
Amanda was confused, but then she remembered.
"Oh right! We have the ability to become holograms," she said.
Finn smiled as they snuck through the jungle.
Soon they made it to the camp. The pirates were asleep.
"Come on!" Amanda whispered. "This is our chance!"
"No wait!" Finn whispered. "Look!"
They looked towards a big tent and saw Zé walk out and yawn.
"Boy!" he yelled. "I slept like a fucking dead body!"
He cackled. It irritated them both.
He pulled out his handgun and shot it twice. All the pirates scrambled out of their tents and surrounded Zé.
"Alright you fuckers!" Zé said. "It's time for some hunting, both in the jungle and out at sea. Huck will take half of you out to sea and I will take the rest out to the jungle. We must find more stuff and more people for trading and selling. Time equals money! Tons of it! Let's go you motherfuckers!"
The pirates roared and all ran out of the camp. Now it was deserted.
"Now is our chance," Amanda said.
Finn nodded and they ran out into the camp.
They began to look all around. They went into different tents to find stuff they may need.
They took some cloths and blankets, along with hardware, like nails, a hammer, a saw, scissors, and an axe.
Finn happily took a crossbow and a whole bunch of arrows. Amanda rolled her eyes.
"What?" Finn asked. "It's the quietest weapon here."
Amanda opened up a cabin and found a whole bunch of clothing. She imagined that they came from people the pirates killed.
"We can't keep wearing the same clothing," Amanda said.
Finn looked down at his ragged clothing, as well as Amanda's.
He nodded and they picked out clothing. They put everything in a sack and a crate they found.
Amanda picked out clothing that she knew were her size. She knew that it meant children their age were killed here.
She then found a pretty dress skirt and showed it to Finn.
"I would love to see you in that," Finn said.
Amanda smiled and stowed it away.
They soon got everything they think they needed. They began to walk away when suddenly they heard a voice.
They turned around and saw a pirate walking into the camp, drinking from an alcohol canister.
He then noticed Finn and Amanda and spat out his drink.
"HEY!" he yelled. "THIEVES!"
He pulled out his gun and prepared to fire.
"AMANDA!" Finn yelled.
Amanda nodded and swung her hand, knocking the gun out of the pirate's hand. He was stunned.
"What the!?" he yelled. "How did you do that!?"
Amanda didn't reply. The pirate then began to run towards a pole with an alarm.
"He's going to alert the others!" Finn yelled.
"I don't think so," Amanda said.
Just before the pirate could press a button, Amanda used her powers and held him midair.
"Help!" he yelled. "A witch!"
Finn got angry.
He loaded up the crossbow and aimed it at the pirate.
"No one calls my girlfriend a witch!" he yelled. He fired the crossbow and hit the pirate in the head, killing him.
Amanda let him drop down. Finn walked up and pulled the arrow out of his head.
"We can't leave him here," Amanda said. "The pirates will hunt us."
"Let's find a place to hide him," Finn said.
Amanda nodded. They began to look around, and then Amanda screamed from behind a hut.
Finn ran over to her. She was staring at a pile of dead bodies.
Finn frowned.
"We can hide him in that," Finn said. "Lift a bunch of them up and hide him in the middle."
Amanda lifted a bunch of the bodies up. She couldn't bear the sight of them. Finn threw the dead pirate into the middle and then Amanda let the other bodies fall on him.
They looked at each other and then went back to retrieve their stuff.
On the way, Amanda picked up the pirates handgun he dropped.
"Just in case," she said.
Finn nodded.
"Now we need to find a place to build our home," he said.
They took their things and went off to search for a place.
They walked for a while, until they found a perfect spot.
It was in an open part of the jungle. The sun was shinning on it. It was perfect.
"Let's get to work," Amanda said.
Finn nodded. They took the tools and walked into the forest.
They spent almost all day working on it. They put together cloths and sticks and huge leaves and trees.
Eventually, just as the sun was being to go down, they finally finished their house. It was magnificent. It almost looked like the house from The Blue Lagoon, only it was a one-floor house.
"It is perfect," Finn said.
"Now we can sleep on beds instead of rocks," Amanda explained.
Finn smiled and faced Amanda hugging her.
"I couldn't have done it without you," he said, putting his arms around her waist.
"You mean we couldn't have done it," Amanda said, putting her arms around Finn's neck.
They began to kiss in the orange light from the sunset. Finn picked up Amanda and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
He then carried her towards the hut.
"Come on," said Finn. "I am dying to see you in that dress."
"And I am dying for some food," Amanda said, her stomach growling.
"I'll go hunting after I see you in the dress," Finn said.
Amanda rolled her eyes. Whenever Finn had an idea in his head, it stuck like glue.
"Very well," Amanda said. "I'll put it on."
Finn giggled and brought them inside their new, but temporary, home.
Great! Now Finn and Amanda have a home to live in. They built it together. Originally the house was going to be like the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House, but then I realized they would need ladders. Anyway, this house is fine, I hope. It depends on you guys.
