Part 1:

The map they had found held clues. But she held the clues to his heart. Will they
realize before it's too late?

A quest.
A map.
Desire.
Temptation.

One hot summer.


He had the map in his hands, staring down at the confused lettering of clues, and
for some reason, he knew where the next clue lied. Buried deep under the water. He had
to tell the others. Hurrying about the tropical island, his feet squishing in the white sand.
He loved it here. As he reached her tent, he looked inside and saw Belle writing in a
journal she had always kept since she was little.


They were together. They had given into temptation.

But was there more.


She had walked around the island earlier after she helped Shawn, exploring the
land. It was truly amazing. It was beautiful. She thought that if she avoided him then
everything would just go away. But that wasn't real. She had to face him sooner or later.


Now, she was inside of her tent, writing in her personal journal, trying to let her
feelings unleash.


I felt the desire when we kissed.

It was scary.

He made me feel things that I never knew existed.


I would have no control over what would happen between us.


That was just how scary it was.

And earlier, as we helped Shawn find the ruby for his grandmother, there was so much
temptation today as we all helped Shawn for the clues to find the ruby.


It was just too much.

As she saw the tent flip being un zipped, she stopped her writing and looked up to
see Shawn, smiling at her. He made it seem so easy, but she knew differently. It was
definitely not easier for her.


"Hey Belle," he said, sitting down next to her. She replied hesitantly, scared of
what was going to happen next. He scooted closer, and she could feel the passion
building. It was growing. And growing. And then they would have to give in to
temptation.


It was so tempting, but they had to fight it.


Desire.

Temptation.

A longing of that one special person.


Was he really out there?


She wanted him. She had known that for a while. But she never admitted it to
herself until a couple of days before.

When she saw him on the deck, as he took of his shirt to jump in the water, she
knew it was then that it was him who she has wanted this whole time.

In her heart, she knew that the desire she felt was for him.

She sat by the fire, hugging the gray knit blanket closer to her. The palm trees
rustled about next to her, causing her to turn around to see the sound. It was nothing,
Mimi. Just the trees, she thought. As she turned around, she looked on the opposite side
of her and saw them together.

Jan was rambling on how she wasn't going to let Chloe win this time. She never
gave up did she. Next to her was Jason, leaning against a tree, obviously tired of
listening. When she met his eyes, he smiled.

Embarrassed, she turned around and continued to think about the next few weeks
she would spend here.


A passion so strong for music might just turn into something more.


Will they let it?


Will they ever give in to temptation?


She laid on her bed, looking at the picture of Phillip and her at the Last Blast
Dance last year. Her life was changed that day. She lived another person's life. That
wasn't her. She could no longer be, the captain's girlfriend of basketball team. She
couldn't please the people who didn't like her for who she was.

That life was over. There was a knew one ahead. And that life was the one she
wanted.

What's next?
