Confessions
Tori had gathered up a bunch of the tree branches and thrown them into a pile for the little, lost girl. Heidi had jumped into the makeshift bed and fallen right asleep, Tori on one side, Hunter on the other. Shane was right there too, he was above her. Heidi was the only one actually sleeping, the others were whispering.
"Rough day huh?" Shane asked.
"I'm just glad I found you guys." Tori smiled.
"Me too, you should've heard this guy all day." Shane started. "He was all, it's my fault she's dead, I should've hung on and saved her."
"Awe." Tori laughed. "For me."
"Hey, you're the only girl I know really." Hunter replied.
"I'm the only girl I know too." Tori laughed and woke up the sleeping girl.
"Mommy?" She screamed.
"It's okay." Tori replied, stroking her hair.
"Are we saved yet?" Heidi asked, eyes closed.
"No, not yet but we will be, I promise you." Hunter said.
"Don't make promises." Heidi retorted. "My daddy promised me he would be there when I woke up and he wasn't."
"Yeah Hunter, don't make promises." Tori grinned. "Loser."
"Night." Heidi said and Tori waited for her to fall asleep. "And don't be mean mommy."
"Yeah Tor, don't be mean. Mommy?" Hunter joked.
"Shut-up." Tori shook her head with a smile.
When the little girl was snoring, Tori walked over to the fire and sat beside Dustin. She wanted to hear all about his journey to find them.
"Blake and I were walking and we could smell the pig-"
"Did it smell like now?" Tori asked, sniffing the air.
"You smell it too?" Dustin queried.
"Let's go."
Adam and Rocky were tending to the fire while the others, full or meat, slept on the sand. They were laughing at their situation, seeing as it was hopeless. They were also a little low on sleep and water. They did not know where the lagoon was, not yet anyways.
Dustin popped through the horizon and dug into the meat. Adam and Rocky laughing at his piggish ness. But then, the rest of his camp rushed through the bushes too, digging in as well.
"You guys never came back." Shane stated with a grin.
"We found some more people." Adam joked.
"So did we." Hunter replied. "We can add them to our collection."
"I inherited a daughter." Tori laughed.
"A new girl." Rocky checked her out.
"Taken." Shane whispered.
"Oh, this is the girl you let 'die'?" Adam asked Hunter. "Not so bad is she Rocko?"
"No but I got a few girls too." Jason announced his presence coming through the bushes too.
"Aisha." Adam gasped. "We missed you."
"No, you missed her." Tommy teased. "We're just happy to see that this island isn't completely useless, just look at all the couples now."
"You've got Jason and Kim, Adam and Aisha-" Rocky started.
"Blake and Tori." Dustin said through a full mouth.
"Yeah bro because they so are all over each other." Shane laughed and received a punch on the shoulder from the girl in question.
"My mom can hit hard." Heidi giggled.
"Yeah, harder than anyone on this island." Tori added.
"Really, you?" Tommy laughed and got the bitter end of her fist. "Point proven."
"Thought so." Heidi grinned and headed towards the boar and dug in.
"You have good taste kid." Tori patted her head. "Picking me out of all these guys."
"You were the prettiest." Heidi grinned.
"Hear that, I'm the prettiest." Tori smiled.
"Oh yeah, no doubt." Dustin laughed. "But if she wasn't on the island then who would you have picked?"
"Not you." Heidi retorted. "I want someone smarter than me."
"Cute kid." Dustin snarled.
Heidi walked around the group, eyeing everyone. She stopped in front of Hunter for a minute and then Blake. She stared up at them, wondering if they were smarter than she was.
"What's the capital of Canada?" Heidi asked.
"Toronto." Blake stated.
"Are you like the stupidest guy on earth, it's Ottawa bro, how could you not know that?" Hunter argued. "Who's right?"
"I don't know." Heidi remarked.
"Voting time." Dustin called out. "All in favour of Toronto?"
Blake was the only one to raise his hand. Then Dustin asked about Ottawa and the rest of the group raised their hands except Tori, she was laughing at the whole thing.
"What's so funny?" Jason asked.
"I knew that from like first grade and uh, you guys had to vote to figure it out, that's sad." Tori explained.
"I was testing you guys." Blake interrupted.
"Right little bro." Hunter patted him on the shoulder.
"Sorry mommy, I like him more now." Heidi said.
"Just ask him about common sense." Tori grinned.
"No fair." Hunter retorted. "That's not my best subject."
"Okay, we compromise, we can all spend time together." Heidi suggested.
"Ha ha Tori." Dustin laughed.
"See my halo, bright and shiny? Mess with me I'll kick your hiney." She rhymed a threat.
"A poet and she didn't even know it." Hunter joked.
"Roses are red, violets are blue. Mess with me and I'll pulverize you." Tori glared at him.
"Guess she knew it." Rocky joked.
"I used to be a poet." Adam stated.
"A pretty good one too." Aisha replied.
"Yeah, I remember now." Kim said and Jason nodded along.
"You're winning poem, the one you got like money with." Tommy added.
"Affirmative." Billy joked.
"Right, we'll just pretend we understand you guys." Heidi giggled. "'Cause I'm only seven."
"It's always about you isn't it?" Kim joked.
"You're mean."
