"So, what, it's like a contest now?" Randy smirked. "And, how, may I ask, are *you* two going to get away with this?"

Dawn laughed, "We're two of the most beautiful women in the world! How couldn't we get away with it?"

"Right, so you just expect to kill the girls, then go about your normal lives?" he questioned.

"Right, with Chris and John of course!" Trish piped in.

Kurt laughed, "But, how are you going to do that if they're dead?"

Trish slapped him, "They are not going to die...and you are not going to kill them...ok?"

Kurt held his head, "Chill out...God...women...I swear..."

"Ok, ok, ok...You girls *think* you can kill Cameron and Marie, but they are smart, they know things. They are more....what do you call it? Down-to-Earth...?" Randy said.

"Yeah, well...we'll see about that." Dawn said, as she turned and left."

"And...yeah!" Trish smirked, walking away with Dawn.

Randy and Kurt laughed as they went back to what they were planning on doing.

"Sorry to take you away from them, but I *really* need to talk to you." Chris said, pulling Cameron away from Marie and John.

"Ok..?" she said.

"Look, Cam, I *really* like you, and I need to do this now, because I don't want to wait anymore."

"Chris..." Cameron started, but was soon distracted by Marie calling her name. "I'm *really* sorry Chris, we'll talk later, I swear!" she said, as she ran back towards her friend.

~*~*~*~

"Cam, me and John want to go for a boat ride, so, we'll be back a little later tonight...I hope things go good for you and Chris...if you know what I mean." Marie said as she winked.

"Yeah..." she said.

"What's wrong?" she asked her friend.

"Nothing...it's just that I have a really weird feeling, I don't know what it is though. But, it just feels like something's wrong." Cameron said.

"Maybe it's just because of the flowers? I *still* think Chris and John sent them, they just don't want to admit it." she laughed.

"Yeah...I guess."

"Cam...everything will be cool. Just chill, relax, enjoy Hawaii!" Marie said as she turned back towards John and left.

"Yeah...everything will be okay...hopefully." she said to herself.

~*~*~*~*~

"Hey! Umm...we need a boat." John said to the coastguard.

"Oh, you're in luck son. Two beautiful young girls just brought back this one. Brand new too. Enjoy yourselves." he said as he helped them into the boat. They took the boat as the guard thought to himself, 'Now I wonder why they haven't gotten off the island yet? It is storm season.'

They started off, going fast at first. They slowed down once they got out far enough. No one was around and they were alone, finally.

"Alone at last." John said, moving closer to Marie. Smiling, he picked her up and spun her around. She pressed her lips to his and kissed him passionatly. The kiss turned *very* heated in a matter of seconds. Pretty soon, Marie found herself pinned up to the wall of the boat in the hands of John. He slowly moved his hands up to her chest, caressing her ever so gently. Then, they heard the clasp of thunder, followed by the drops of rain hitting the boat.

"John..." she whispered.

"Hmm..?" he said, ignoring everything going on around him, only focusing on her.

"Can we go back to your hotel room? It's raining really hard and storming. We can finish this there." she said with a seductive smile.

"Oh, yeah!" he said, placing her back on her feet. "Let me just start the boat..."

He pulled the engine, it started, then stopped. He pulled it again. Same thing. "It must be out of gas."

"But those girls just brought it back...wouldn't it be filled up?" Marie said.

"Guess the guy forgot to fill it up..." he said, looking at the tank. "No shit..." he said.

"What?"

"That's why...there's a hole in the tank...all of our gas spilled out."

"What? How do we get back then? It's pouring down rain...shit! Look, the boat's filling up with water too...Is that from the rain?"

John got down on his hands and knees, finding what he was looking for. "Fuck! There's a lot of holes in here, under the seats."

"What? Can't we patch them??"

"No, they're too big!" he said, yelling over the sound of the pounding rain and booming thunder. The rain was falling *very* hard now.

"We're in the middle of no where!" Marie shouted. "How are we going to get back? I can't swim that far, not in this weather!"

John was frantically looking for life vests and flares...anything to get them safely out of harms' way. "What the fuck!? There's nothing here! Everything's missing! The flares, the vests...everything!"

"John! The boat's going down! What are we going to do?" Marie screamed.

"I don't know! Get over here beside me!" He instructed. She did waht she was told, causing the boat to tip.

"John! The boat is turning over!!!" she screamed as the boat flipped, pushing John and Marie underneath it. They were trapped.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Chris! It's raining really hard! Let's go over to the gym, ok?" Cameron yelled. Chris nodded as they took a dash for the gym.

Once they were inside, Cameron took her cargos off, throwing them in the laundry room. "I'll get those later, Chris, I'm going to jump in the tanning bed! I came here so I could get a tan, and I'm not leaving here without one!" she laughed, heading for the tanning room. Chris nodded and started to work out a little.

Cameron got inside and set the tanning bed on medium heat for fifteen minutes. She turned on the radio, and got inside. She put the goggles over her eyes and turned it on, bringing the top down to where it almost closed, but didn't. She closed her eyes and listened to the loud music.

The door opened, and someone walked in. Cameron didn't notice. A few minutes later, the same peron walked out of the room slamming the door behind them. Cameron turned and glanced over, peeking out of the crack of the tanning bed. "Hello?" she said. She looked around and decided to get out to see what it was. She pushed the top but it didn't budge. She pushed it again, still, nothing. She started to panick. It got *really* hot in matter of seconds. Cameron screamed and pushed the top as hard as she could. She glanced at the handles and noticed a zip strip holding it together. "Help!!" she screamed, her voice cracking from the heat. Tears were streaming down her face. "Chris!!! Help!! Please!!! Somebody!!!" she screamed louder. She was pushing and trying to get off the hot surface all at the same time, but each time she moved, it burned her more.

~*~*~

Chris was in the gym, working out, when he heard a scream. Chris jumped up and ran to the tanning room. The doors were chained together. 'What the hell?' he thought. More screaming came from inside the room. 'Chris!!! Please help!!!' he heard Cameron scream. Chris kicked the wooden door with all of his might. It broke open. He ran to the tanning bed and saw Cameron struggling to get out. She was screaming and crying. He tried pulling on the zip strip, but it didn't work. He pulled on the top of the bed, that didn't work either.

"Chris!!! Please!!! It's soo hott!!!! Help me!!" Cameron screamed. "Hurry!!" she cried.

Chris grabbed the nearest thing and hit the tanning bed several times, until the strip broke. Cameron jumped out and clung to Chris.

"What the hell happened?" he asked.

"I think somebody tried to kill me." she cried, buring her head into his arms.
