Shipwrecked

Chapter 2 "Survival"

As the large bulk of the ship disappeared, Tristen was the first to turn around. The sight in front of him shocked him so much, he couldn't speak. Finally he found his voice and shouted, "Rocks!" The group quickly turned, seeing the rocks ahead, and screamed for the second time. Yugi and Bukura were the only ones not screaming.

Yugi and Bukura quickly rummaged through the boat, looking for the oars. Finally, Tea and Tristen caught on, and began to help.

As the boat came closer to the rocks they started to gain speed, and out of all of this Mai fainted. Joey was so scared, it seemed all his muscles had frozen. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a long rod-like stick. He thought maybe it had been the oar, but found that it had no paddle on the end.

Tea looked up, screaming. They would hit the rocks at any moment. Joey, barely having anytime to think, grabbed the stick. He quickly reached out and pushed them away from the rocks, hitting each rock one by one, while struggling because of the weight of the lifeboat.

The group cheered Joey on as he got the safely around the rocks. Mai's eyes suddenly flickered open and she rubbed her back. She looked down. "What's this?" she asked pulling out the long oars from under her.

Joey sweatdropped. "That's just great! While we were fearing for our lives, you were sleepin' on the oars!"

Mai's face flushed a bit and she yelled, "Excuse me! I'm sorry if I fainted!"

The bickering continued...........

~*~

"You know, we've been on land for about three hours and they still haven't noticed," Bukura said in his British accent. He stretched his legs out on the fine sand.

"No, I think it's been longer because your watch hasn't moved for a while." Tristen replied, putting his hands behing his head and leaning on the tree behind him, watching Joey and Mai bicker.

"What?!" Joey replied, in a hoarse voice.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Mai asked, she could barely talk.

"You two were just so amusing," Tea said, grinning.

"Hey, is anyone else hungry?" Joey's voice seemed to return at that question.

"Joey, your always hungry, and how can you think of food at a time like this?" Yugi said. His head dropped. "I know I . . . .can't. . . ."

Suddenly everyone jumped up screaming, "EWWWW." Tristen was curled on the ground smiling. Apparently Tristen's stomach still hadn't settled.

The group moved to another location a few lengths away, and Yugi replied, "Well I think we should find shelter, or build shelter." he continued, "We've been here for almost a day, and it is getting dark again."

The group looked over the ocean. Only half the sun could be seen. And the light refracted off the water the small crystals. The teens slowly turned and looked around, taking Yugi's advice in finding shelter.

Suddenly Bukura noticed a cave, and turned to tell the others. They grabbed there luggage from the lifeboat and slowly descended on the cave. It had looked like nothing had lived there for a long time, considering the long vines that inter-twined together and braided in front of the large entrance.

After exploring the cave, they found that nothing lived there, and that it wasn't very deep. They split the cave in half, giving on side to the boys and the other to the girls.

"In the morning. . .we should go and get the boat. . ."Yugi replied sleepily.

That night, even though everyone was tired, no one slept. Well with the exception of Joey, who slept like a log.

~*~

The group made their way out of the cave. Black lines were under their eyes, formed from lack of sleep. They made their way the the beach. The teens made their way to were they had left the boat and . . .it wasn't there! Their boat, their only means to getting off the island was gone!

Tristen looked around, his drowsyness going to his head, and looked at Joey the only one who had gotten a good sleep. "Joey. . .did you move the boat last night?" he asked.

"Uh. . . .no." Joey blinked, but as soon as he opened his eyes Tristen was upon him.

Joey screamed and ran from his friend.
