A/N: Happy Valentine's Day!
Chapter 11- By Dani
The group slowly pushed open the doors above them and cautiously helped each other out, looking everywhere in fear of another attack.
"So, do you have a helicopter or boats or something?" Eric questioned.
Lex nodded. "We have two motorized boats hidden in a cave a little past the shore. We have to swim a little to get there."
"At this point, I couldn't care less about getting wet," Dana sighed.
"Yeah, Lex. They're not all girly-girls like you," Tim laughed.
"Oh, your 18 years old, Tim. Grow up," Lex said playfully. Then, Billy took charge.
"Ok, so there's two boats. I think that Dana, Lia, Eric, Tim, Lex, and I should go in one, and the rest of you should go in the other."
Allasyn gasped. "You mean send you kids all alone to get separated from us again?"
Cordelia sighed. "Mom... we can obviously take care of ourselves..."
"Besides, if we do it this way, we have dinosaur experts and people who have survived this island before in each boat. That gives us better odds." Billy added.
The parents looked a little unsure, but then Sheila said, "O...ok." Slowly, each of the others agreed.
The group swam into the small save and saw two boats rocking gently on the water. They pushed the boats out of the cave, then the seven youngest of the group climbed into the first boat. The adults got into the second.
Alan got into the boat last. As he did, it began to wobble and tip. He stepped out.
"What, did you put on a little weight, Alan?" Ellie joked.
"Ha, ha. Look, this boat can't hold the weight of six adults. I'm gonna have to go with the kids," Dr. Grant decided.
"Alright, if you're sure. We'll lead and you guys follow us," Ellie said.
And the two boats went out on the water.
The people in each boat sailed through the mist without speaking. It was strangely silent. All that could be heard through the quiet morning was the sound of the tropical waves lifting up the boats then setting them down. It was incredibly peaceful. Too peaceful.
Suddenly, a loud noise broke the eeriness. It wasn't the roaring of a dinosaur or reptile. It wasn't even the sound of a pteranodon's wings flapping. It was the rumbling of a 25-foot tidal wave! The adults' boat was already safely ahead of it, but the wave was headed straight for the other boat!
"Ahhhh!" everyone screamed, trying to speed up the motor on the boat. "OhmyGod! OhmyGod! OhmyGod!"
Billy grasped the steering wheel and desperately tried to turn the boat in the other direction.
Lex and Tim were hugging and screaming. Dana put her arms around Eric and Cordelia, who were holding hands. All three were sobbing.
Dr. Grant didn't know what to do. All he could do was watch in terror as the 30-foot wall headed right towards them.
Finally, Billy succeeded in turning the boat away, just as the wave made impact.
CUT TO:
The next thing anyone knew, they were lying facedown in the sand. Tim groaned and got up, conciseness flowing back to him.
"Hey...I'm...I'm alive," he said to know one.
Slowly, everyone woke. As the realization that they had survived swept over them, they all began laughing and smiling, not even thinking of where they were.
Cordelia and Eric gave each other a small kiss, and Dana hugged them both, Lex and Tim threw their arms around each other, putting years of sibling rivalry behind them, at least for those brief ten minutes.
Lex and Billy hugged, and then pulled away self-concisely.
Dr. Grant gave everyone a small half hug and smiled.
Finally, the group looked at their surroundings. They were on an island again. A familiar looking island. They all realized with a lurch in their stomachs that their brush with death had gotten them absolutely nowhere.
Tim let out a heavy sigh and said, "Well...we're back...at Site A again..."
Dr. Grant almost laughed and automatically responded, "Well at least we're out of the boat."
************************************************************************
A/N: Omg, this is like the Never Ending Story or something. How many times are they gonna get stranded on the island? Lol. But now it's more exciting cause there's only one adult supervisor... lol. And by the way, the thing Tim said at the end of the chapter was supposed to be a joke. See, at some point in JP1, 10-year-old Tim said, "Well...we're back...in the car again..." and Dr. Grant said, "Well at least we're out of the tree." So that whole thing was a cruel irony or whatever it's called. Lol. Please review now. Thanks and Happy V-Day.
