Shannon and Sayid didn't know what was going on, there was an earie sense at camp. As they glanced around they saw everything like it had been, but perfect. Sawyer, Jack, and Kate were sitting on a blanket enjoying lunch...Miichael, Jin, and Sun swam with Walt in the ocean. But that was not half of what they saw next. As Shannon and Sayid began to back up, Sayid grabbed Shannon's arm, and pointed over to a tree nearby. Shannon let out a small scream when she saw herself, except a very pregnant self, with an exact clone of Sayid right by her side. They glanced at eachother with a terrified expression on there face, as Locke, with a creepy look on his face, approached them.

"Shannon..4 years," Locke said calmly as if Shannon was supposed to know what he was talking about.."What are you talking about? Whats going on?" Shannon asked. "You are important..you are special...4 years...do you understand,Shannon?...Shannon?" The voice was faint but kept repeating, "Shannon...Shannon"...Shannon quickly awoke to Sayid.."Whats...whats going on?" Shannon asked..."You were having a dream..You kept talking in your sleep," Sayid replied..."But..But the monster..and everyone was all normal...and I was pregnant..." Shannon said frantically..."Shannon,I'm not sure what you are talking about but none of that was real..After we talked last night about sharing a tent, you went to sleep..Dont you remember?" Sayid asked..."I guess..I guess I do...Sorry..weird dream," Shannon replied...Sayid kissed Shannon on her forehead and asked her if she wanted some breakfast.."That would be nice," Shannon said..Shannon sat back trying to think of what the dream meant..

When Sayid returned with a plate of fish and fruit, Shannon told him she thought it would be best if she moved in with him, she didn't think it was safe for either of them to live on there own. "I'm happy to hear that," Sayid said with a wide grin spreading accross his face. "Come with me," Shannon hesitantly stood up and began walking through the jungle with him "Where are we going, Sayid?" Sayid smiled at Shannon and said, "You'll see, close your eyes." Shannon closed her eyes and trustingly followed Sayid through the jungle. "Alright you can open your eyes," Sayid replied...Shannon slowly opened her eyes to find a beautiful hut surrounded by trees. "Oh my gosh, is this ours?" Shannon asked whith an excited tone!

"Yes, and we will be safe because the caves are just through those trees," replied Sayid...Shannon let out a huge scream of joy and wrapped her arms around Sayid..She was very excited and gave him the biggest hug she could possibly give him at the time...For once in her life, Shannon was happy...Truly happy...Shannon didn't think Sayid could possibly know how much he had done for her or how much she truly cared about him...She wanted to show him.."I am going to go get my things," Shannon said to Sayid in a playful voice..."Alright," Sayid said, "Hurry back." Shannon smiled at Sayid as she made her way to the beach.
Shannon was humming to herself gleefully as she skipped back down to the beach. 'I feel like such a little girl', Shannon thought, 'I wonder what the other people on the beach will think when they here that i'm moving in with Sayid?'

Shannon was in deep thought imagining all of the things people would say, when she accidentaly bumped into something, "Damn log" She said as she tried to walk around it. For some reason she couldn't get around, she looked up and saw Locke standing there staring at her. "Ah!" Shannon yelped when she realized who she bumped into. "Don't go Shannon, don't go," Locke exclaimed..."Don't go where?" asked Shannon? "Don't move into the house, it will bring bad luck to you," Locke replied...Shannon stared at him like he was crazy then stepped around him and kept on walking to the beach. Locke continued to talk while Shannon walked away, "Don't move in there with Sayid, I don't want you to get hurt!" 'He's just a crazy old geezer', Shannon thought, 'why would we get hurt?'
As she continued her journey back to the beach, all she could do was smile at the thought of Sayid! Shannon was thinking of something nice she could do for Sayid as a sort of thank you. She remembered the night that he had so sweetly planed a romantic picnic, so she figured she would do the same, as kind of an unofficial one month anniversary/ moving into hut together celebration! She gathered up as much fruit, fish, and boar as she could possibly take with out the others getting angry... She found a nice little lagoon and set up, she had to hurry because Sayid thought she was only gathering her things, and he would get worried soon!

She found Sayid sitting in their hut waiting for her.."Come with me, I have a surprise," Shannon said while she took his hand and began to lead him through the jungle! "Look, SURPRISE," she said smiling, as she showed him what she had been working at for the past hour. "Wow, Shannon it looks like you have been busy!" Sayid said as he put his hand on her back. "Shall we sit down?" Shannon asked as she led him to the blanket. Sayid slowly sat down(stiff from all of the working he had done) and admired the wonderful meal set in front of him. Shannon took out the fish and broke it in half with her hands...Before she got on the island she wouldn't even dare touch a fish. She gave half of it to Sayid and he started to eat it hungrily. "Is there anything exciting that happened today?" Sayid asked when he finished his fish. "What? Oh ummm well Locke.." replied Shannon... "What about Locke? Did he do something to you?" asked Sayid...Shannon lowered her eyes, "No...no he just warned me, he said not to move into the house." Sayid rolled his eyes at the thought of Locke saying that, "Just ignore him Shannon, he doesn't know what he's talking about." Shannon knew Sayid was right but she still felt uneasy, "The strange thing is, I sort of believe him...I mean he is the wisest one on the island." Sayid sat back and took a sip of water, "Just don't worry Shannon, you'll be safe." Shannon leaned into Sayid and for some reason she didn't believe him all, but she decided to trust him, and she would be safe.

They made their way back to their new shelter in the middle of the night...Sayid held Shannon close to him, while she sang him a song in french. "So, hows the sleeping arrangment going to be?" Shannon asked, as she finished her song. "Well, I only had time for one bed, but I could sleep on the floor if you would like," Sayid said quickly. "No, I think you will be fine next to me," Shannon said with a wink. As they got close to the shelter they heard a rustling in the bushes. Sayid quickly put his arm in front of Shannon, and stepped up in a challenging way. "Who's there?" Sayid yelled.."Dont shoot!" Locke said jokingly with his hands in the air as he stepped out. "What are you two doing out here in the middle of the night?" Locke asked Sayid and Shannon. "We have our reasons, and they have no concern to you," Sayid replyed in a smart tone. "I was just taking a walk!" replied Locke, after seeing the quizing look on Sayid's Face. Sayid and Shannon began walking away when Locke yelled out to them, "Shannon! Dont do this! Think about boone!" Shannon turned around to Locke with anger in her eyes. "Boone? This is about Boone? Boone would have wanted me to be happy! So don't tell me to think about Boone! Were you thinking about Boone when you killed him?" Locke stood speachless. Sayid could see the tears building in Shannon's eyes, so he put his arm around her waist, and they walked away.

Shannon had no clue what Locke's motives were. He never seemed to care about anyone and he always did things to help himself out..Shannon was finally happy...So why did Locke want to ruin it? It was then that she started thinking about her dream again..."Sayid...Does 4 years mean anything to you?" Shannon asked Sayid hoping that he could make sense of her dream.."Well...4 years can mean a number of things," Sayid replied..."Well yes...but does it mean anything specific? Or am I just being crazy?" Shannon asked...Sayid smiled, "What is this about,Shannon?".."Well..it was about the dream a had the other night..Locke was in it..and he kept saying 4 years...4 years.." Shannon replied...Sayid looked at her and tried to think about it, "Well..dreams can be very funny Shannon..I wouldn't worry about it too much..Lets just go to sleep," he said..But Shannon was was worried..and without Shannon knowing, so was Sayid..4 years had been the number of years he was looking for Nadia... Sayid couldnt take it anymore, Locke was scaring Shannon, and weirding him out so he very carefully slid out of bed and went in search of locke! He found Locke sitting by a fire (what is he the man of no sleep?) "Is there something I can do for you Sayid?" Locke asked with a suspicous grin curling up on his face. "This is the only time I will tell you this, stay away from Shannon...I do not wish to start trouble, but I'm warning you!" Sayid said with a look of anger in his eyes! "That sounds alot like a threat, Sayid," Locke said with a strange grin. "Yes, a threat that you should take seriously!" replied Sayid...And with that Sayid turned and walked away before he did something he would later regret. Sayid reached the hut, went inside and slid back into bed "Where did you go?" asked a sleepy Shannon. "For a walk...go back to sleep," replied Sayid...And with a kiss on the forehead, Shannon and Sayid fell asleep...
