Meatings

Shane threw some more wood on the weakening fire. He laughed when it sparked and the ashes floated in the sky. Hunter chuckled at Shane's behavior. He was like an easily amazed kid wherever he went. Shane glared at Hunter then they both laughed. The island was getting to them, no interaction with anyone but themselves and those other two guys, Rocky and Adam.

When the other two went to get the pig, no one had any idea how to catch it until Rocky used his imagination. He was usually full of ideas similar to Dustin's but occasionally a few of them were actually possible and sensible. Rocky suggested they set it on fire but Adam took the idea and made it logical.

"Can you believe those guys, so full of confidence." Shane broke the silence.

"Kind of reminds me of me when I first moved to Blue Bay and thought I could take on anyone of the motocross dudes at that track." Hunter stated.

"Or when I first showed up at the skate park and thought the same thing." Shane replied, looking down.

"Man I miss home." Hunter sighed.

"I miss the little things. Like watching our friends walk through doors smiling and real toilets." Shane started off sincere but turned it to a funny statement.

"Even if we get off this island, we won't get to watch anyone walk through any doors, but you can still use the toilet." Hunter matched his statement.

"I miss my toothbrush, my skateboard, my bed and my food."

"I miss it all." Hunter watched the tide move up along the beach while Shane still looked down.

Jason and Kim walked in front of Tori and Aisha. They were getting tired and whining was looking good. Tori watched the tide, Aisha watched her, sensing her feelings.

"You okay?" She asked, witnessing Jason with his arm around Kim.

"Yeah." Tori sighed.

"You don't seem okay." Aisha pointed out.

"Truth is, I'm not, Why did they all have to die, so far you have your friends, even if it's not all of them, I don't have any of mine here. If we get off the island-"

"When we get off the island." Aisha broke in.

"When we get off this island, I'm not going home to friends and family unless I'm getting off this island dead."

Jason suddenly stopped and jumped behind the bushes off to his right. The crackling of fire caught his attention but he was unknown to who it may belong too. The girls ducked behind the bushes and overheard a bit of a conversation.

"Man dude, I don't know how much longer I can keep this fire alive when I'm barely alive myself."

Tori widened her eyes and ears and poked her head through the bushes. She dropped the black bag in the sand and stood up.

Rocky and Adam were face to face with Tommy, Trini, Billy, Cam, Blake and Dustin. Instead of hugging, they all dived at the boar and with their luck, caught it in a frenzy. Adam held the torch to it until it stopped moving then the eight people headed back to Rocky and Adam's 'camp'. They walked in silence, watching the boar carefully with the dryness in their mouths.

Shane turned his head towards the bushed and stood up.

"This one's mine." Hunter cut him off.

Hunter stood up slowly, careful not to make noise, and headed towards the bushes. Every inch closer he got, the more afraid of the worst came over him. He crept at the movement until the source of the movement hurdled through the bushes and landed on top of him.

"TOR!" Shane screamed.

The two blondes on the ground struggled to get up. Tori leapt at Hunter as soon as he stood up and the two embraced. Shane ran towards the reunion as Jason, Aisha and Kim walked out of the brush with the suitcase. Tori turned back to Aisha.

"I'm not dying any time soon." She laughed.

"You were never going to." Aisha smiled.

"You were thinking about dying on us?" Shane asked. "Were you?"

"Me, maybe," Tori smiled and received another hug from the other blonde.

"Is this all of you?" Jason asked.

"No, there's two more of us, some Rocky-"

"Rocky and Adam?" Kim asked with a grin.

"Yeah you know them?" Hunter asked.

"They're like my best friends, names Aisha."

"I believe we met on the plane, you're the guy with problems and you're his buddy right?" Kim smiled.

"My immature pals." Tori said as Shane wrapped his arm around her other shoulder.

"That we are but I'm not the one in denial." Shane remarked.

"You," Tori looked at Hunter. "Were in denial?"

"Yes, like a love-sick puppy." Shane interrupted.

"Oh, thinking about you're girlfriend?" Kim teased.

"Don't got one." Hunter retorted.

"Yeah you do, I'm a girl and I'm your friend." Tori joked.

"You don't know the half of it." Shane muttered.
