"Do you think he'll want to know why we want his shirt?"
"Shan, it will be fine. I have carte blanche with his stuff. I'll tell him…I'm cold or something," Kate assured Shannon as they left Claire and Sun behind. They were walking towards the caves, where Kate and Sawyer had moved after they "got together". She hadn't wanted to leave the caves and he was pussy whipped. So, he moved to the caves.
When Kate and Shannon reached the caves, neither expected the surprise that waited. Shannon was the first to ask the pertinent question. "Is that Boone?"
Of course, Kate upstaged her with an even better question, "Are they drunk?"
"HEY SHAN!" Boone took that moment to scream.
Sawyer levied himself up from where he'd fallen backward over a fallen log. "Hey little sis!"
"Sis?"
"Oh, yeah. Hey, Kate! Sawyer's my brother. Awesome right?"
"You didn't think I might should know this?"
"Nah."
Kate gave Shannon a stern look. "I think you could of told me."
"Why?"
"I told you things…about me and him. You're his sister. You shouldn't know those…sexual things."
"I just like really met him. I don't think of him as my brother."
"Hey!" Sawyer shouted in a wounded voice, too loud though because he startled Boone who fell off the log, then laughing he fell too.
"Idiot," Kate said affectionately as she grabbed one of the shirts he'd left out.
"Where are you goin' with that?" Sawyer asked as he eyed the shirt Kate held.
"I'm cold."
"Awww…is my ickle baby kins cold? Why don't you come sit on papa's lap and let him warm you up?"
Shannon wrinkled her nose. "Ewww. You're right, I don't need to hear that."
The two girls left the boys there (though they did confiscate what little alcohol they had left), and hurried back to Sun and Claire. They didn't speak much on the way there, preferring instead to shoot little glances at each other. Finally, the tension became too much and Shannon turned to Kate.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"Come on!"
"Alright. When we first got to the island…I was a little jealous. I thought Sawyer…liked you, and now you're his sister, and it's all creepy."
"You think that's bad? HE hit on me, and I knew he was my brother when he did it! It was bad enough from Boone, who's only my stepbrother, but from my actual brother!"
"Wait, Boone and you…"
"Eww, don't go there. Look there's Sun and Claire."
"Hey guys! Did you get the shirt?" Claire asked, smiling broadly.
"Yeah…why are you so damn happy?" Shannon asked.
"I started!"
"Started what?"
"My period! I'm not pregnant! Thank god!"
"And you're happy because?"
"Well, me and Charlie just got together. I want us to have some time together."
"You just didn't want to get fat again."
"Shut up Shannon."
"You shut up Claire."
"No, yo-…"
"Both of you shut up. She's doing it."
Shannon and Claire turned to Kate, who was watching as Sun walked over to the shelters left on the beach. Pretending to be nonchalant, she threw the shirt in her hand into one and kept on walking. The object of their vengeance was no where to be seen.
"Hey, where is uber bitch anyways?"
"Over there, talking to Sayid," Kate said smugly.
"Excuse me? No, she didn't," Shannon seethed as she set out over the beach to where Sayid had been cornered by the she-cat. Behind her, Kate and Claire were having a very hard time stifling their laughter.
Sayid was carefully trying to excavate himself from the redhead's claws when a smiling Shannon came up. "Sayid? There you are. I've been looking for you." Shannon wrapped her arms around Sayid's neck a planted a deep kiss on his lips. "I need your help."
"I'd love to. I'm sorry, um…"
"Betsy," the redhead stressed, obviously upset that Sayid had forgotten her name.
"I am sorry Betsy but I must help my…"
"Girlfriend," Shannon stressed right back.
"Yes. So…" Sayid wrapped his arm around Shannon's waist and pulled her away before she and "Betsy" got into a fight. "Are you alright?"
"Fine," Shannon smiled…then punched Sayid hard enough in the arm to make him cringe.
"What was that for, might I ask?"
"You hesitated!"
"Huh?"
"You hesitated to call me girlfriend! I cannot believe you (another punch to his arm) would even think of flirting (punch) with that sleazy, little slut! (punch) I am so not talking to you (extra hard punch)."
Shannon turned to storm off but Sayid's hand on her shoulder stopped her. She still refused to look at him, preferring to cross her arms and scowl at everyone but him. She wasn't really mad, all that hitting had put out the fire of rage, she was now merely annoyed, but there was no reason to tell him this.
"I am sorry. I think…feel…that labels only belittle what we have. I do not want to limit us in that way. I love you. We do not need to name that love."
Shannon turned and pursed her lips for a kiss. Sayid obliged and caused her to smile. "That's a good line. How many times you used it?"
"Several. But I mean it with you."
"Aww. You're such a girl."
Later that night, frantic screaming rudely awakened the entire beach from the direction of Betsy's shelter. She was said to be seen running into the water in polka dot underwear. Shannon, however, wasn't awake to see it. Well, she was awake. But she and Sayid were…busy.
For their part, Sun, Kate, and Claire took immense pleasure in the sight of the petite redhead being humiliated and happily regaled Shannon with details the next day. However, it is also fun to note that an extremely hung over Boone was seen running into the water after her, and just so you know, he was only wearing white boxers, and contrary to what he says, the water was not that cold.
That was great right? Now I have to think of a new story, probably coming soon. Anyone got any ideas?
