Hey faithful readers! I just wanted to say sorry for the wait but I just started college and had to write papers that were not as fun as Dawn of the Dead fiction! Thank you for the reviews and being so great!(Stay and Seth Child Star you two rock!) So I hope you enjoy chapter six!
Three days after the crash Luis was barley up on his feet, but still wanted to help the other men gather and shift the various things that needed to be moved. Ana warned him against it, she told him they had enough people and he should stay resting under the shade of one of the tropical trees that lined the beach. He agreed and she left him to make her rounds. After she got to meet the everyone face-to-face she asked them all if she could look at them, especially Luda who was going to have a baby very soon. She seemed well, just shaken like the rest of them but shed be okay. The perky blond Monica that she met the first day had been feeling better and Nicole had found her dad. In fact everyone seemed to be doing well and getting along. If they hadn't gotten to the island the way they did this might have turned out to be a nice little getaway all in its self. But now instead they waited until they would be rescued and taken back home.
Ana sat in the sand next to Norma eating a boxed meal from the plan wreckage. "Norm" as Ana just started to call her, was a sassy older woman and in fact the oldest person still alive after the crash. Even if it had been only a short while she felt like she had known the woman all her life.
They chatted about their families, why they were going on the flight and what food they would eat when they got back. They also agreed to have a meal over Norma's house for meatloaf when they got back since they found out while talking that they both lived in the same city. "Not to toot my own horn, which I do a lot on my job… but I make a rather good meatloaf!" Norma said laughing while biting into a banana nut muffin. "Its sort of a mix between my grandmothers recipe, and my mothers-God rest both their souls." She finished saying. "I can't wait to try it now!" Ana told her looking up from their conversation to see Michael walking along the beach with a pair of suitcases under his arm and a very excited look on his face. "Ah," Norma said following Ana's gaze. "He's a looker huh?" she said giving Ana a light punch on her arm. The young nurse smiled and looked back at her. "How did you guess? Was it his sandy blonde hair or his incredible tan?" she asked lightheartedly. The two let out joyous laughs, Ana stopped only to say "But really I wish I could find my luggage! Mike said hed be on the look out for it."
Norma gathered their empty food cases and got up off her chair of beach. "I'm going to take this to our trash pile, why don't you see if he had any luck?" Ana nodded and got up after her friend left to meet Michael. When she reached him he smiled wildly "Ana I was just going to get you!" he said. "Oh you found my case?" she asked excited to find out. "Please tell me you found my case?"
Shaking his head he said "No, I'm afraid not…but I found something better, come with me." He moved her in front of his own body, pushing her towards the area he had come from. "All of you come with us!" he shouted out towards the groups on the beach. "What's this about?" she asked him. "Well you know how ive been disappearing for hours?" he asked to which Ana said yes. "Well I found something!"
By this time the group had all but gathered around him. "What's up?" Kenneth asked. "Yeah did you find a nice dress in the woods you could wear?" T.J said cracking himself up over his own cruel joke. (Did Ana say everyone was getting along? Well almost everyone…C.J. was an asshole so he didn't count) "Is it survives?" Tucker yelled out. "I told you it was a nice pink dress for Mikey!" C.J said to Tucker putting a hand on the other man's shoulder. Meanwhile Monica pushed past everyone and held up her hands when she got past them "What don't you all just shut up and let the man tell us!"
Getting through the dozen vines and low hanging tree branches, the rag-tag group stopped at the foot of a true to life, crystal blue waterfall! Looking up towards it Michael smiled with pride, as everyone stood wide-eyed at the dazzling sight. "This is better then a dress!" C.J said in a low voice.
