Siri's Girl…No! If he'd made her listen then everything would have been alright! They love each other! It's going to work…I'm sure of it…or…I'm going to go to Hawaii and kick some one's ass!
Solitaryfan…you best be stepping off my man…he's mine I tell you, mine!
Theblondeone7…I knew someone would agree with me! Thank you! I'm just hoping that tonight (today is Wednesday ain't it?) on "Born to Run" he does talk to her because (as is obvious)(And today is Wednesday thank you Alicia) they totally need to be together (for those of you who are unfamiliar with Alicia she is my friend who reads over my shoulder when I type)(bitch). (Hehehe)
To be clear, Shannon has been married twice in these stories, and I think are the series she's been married once to a guy named Matt, hence, another husband for my story (oh, and I am so not sure about the series part, because for the life of me I cannot remember why I think this). Soundtrack wise, I'm going with Endlessly by Muse…actually that's basically the song this entire fic is devoted to.
"Husband? Another one?"
Shannon smiled. "Yep."
"Are you still married?" Sayid asked.
"Nope."
"Good." Sayid kissed Shannon's forehead and continued to walk away.
"That's all he has to say?"
"Boone, he knows about Jean, and seriously, quit trying to cause trouble. I'm gonna kick your ass."
"Try it Barbie."
"Alright," Shannon said as she jumped up and tackled her brother. Once she'd subdued him she began to give him hurtful pinches all over his body. He screamed for help and Shannon was surprised when he got it…from her real brother Sawyer.
"Hey princess, lay off," Sawyer said as he lifted Shannon off Boone by her arms.
"You wanna a piece of me?"
"Bring it on, sugar!"
And once again the battle was on, though it was two to one. But as the two men mercilessly attacked Shannon with tickling fingers, a certain someone decided that they needed to help…Hurley.
"Hey, what are you…why are you attacking Shannon?"
"She said she'd kick my ass!" Boone ground out through clenched teeth as he struggled to hold a bucking Shannon.
"That's easy though, you're a girl."
"Did you just call me a girl?" Boone said, distracted by Hurley, giving Shannon the chance to lay her teeth on him. "Goddamnit, you just bit me!"
"Yep, and now I'm going to get Sawyer!" Shannon screamed with glee as she got free of Boone and started to attack Sawyer. Boone made as if to grab her but was lifted up and into the air.
"Ahh! Hurley put me down!"
"Dude, two against one isn't fair," Hurley explained as he headed for the beach. Maybe this skinny little metrosexual needed a dip in the ocean to lighten up.
Meanwhile Shannon was winning the fight with Sawyer. She'd grabbed some leaves and was presently shoving them into his mouth when a crying Claire walked up. It was just enough to snare her attention and leave a choking Sawyer on the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"The wedding's off!"
Shannon cradled the crying blonde to her and patted her back. Really, she didn't know what to do with weepy females but she figured she'd wing it. "What happened?"
"Charlie's an ass! Jack's an ass! I can't stand it and it's all going wrong!" Claire sobbed.
"Aww, baby, why don't you tell me what happened?"
"Jack won't perform the ceremony…"
"Boone is ordained and said he'd do it."
"Charlie said we have to wait like a week but won't tell me why! He's hiding something! What if he doesn't want to marry me?"
"He does and don't worry I know the reason he wants to wait…" Shannon didn't say anything because she wasn't sure Charlie wanted Claire to know that Sayid was making them wedding rings, "…and you'll be very happy when you find out why. I promise."
Claire looked at Shannon with tear-covered lashes surrounding her too bright eyes. "Really?"
Shannon studied the beautiful girl and nodded. She'd never noticed but Claire was quite attractive. Whoa, lesbian moment. "Go take a nap or something. You're irritating me."
"Okay. I am tired. I just got done arguing with Jack and then Kate came up and…"
"I said nap."
"Okay, I'm going. Thanks for calming me down. I was ready to kill…"
"Go!"
"I'm going…but could you help me with something first?"
(Flashback)
Shannon studied the twenty year old before her and struggled to comprehend what he was saying. "Marriage? As in…wedding?"
"Yes! Shannon, run away with me! We won't have to listen to our parents anymore, we could do what we want and what I want is to marry you!" Matthew stressed.
"But Matt, I'm only like sixteen! I'm too young…"
"Not if you love me. Love knows no numbers!"
"You do realize how cheesy that sounded?"
"Yeah, but I meant it."
"I don't know. Can I think about it?"
"I didn't want to tell you this but…I'm leaving. I thought for a long time that I would wait for you, but I can't. When I left school I thought I was just taking a break, but I've decided to join the navy. It'll give me all the opportunities to see the world, to make good money, to do things! But I don't want to lose you Shannon! Marry me! Be my wife!"
Shannon looked behind her at the large house that had been her dwelling for the past ten years; dwelling but not home. "Yes. I will marry you."
(End Flashback)
"Have you seen Shannon?"
Boone looked up from where he was wiping dry, encrusted salt from his clothes. In the time it had taken him to get out of the water, Hurley had disappeared, a good idea considering the murderous thoughts Boone was having.
"No, why?"
Sayid shuffled his feet. "I need to speak with her."
"Last time I saw her she was still fighting Sawyer, so…"
"I'll talk to Sawyer."
"Good idea," Boone said through clenched teeth. As Sayid walked towards Sawyer and Kate's shelter, Boone caught sight of Hurley trying to hide in the dense forest. "Hah! I see you!"
Boone took of running, but Hurley had a head start and was getting away. Sayid laughed as he took in the sight of the two men dodging through the trees. Up ahead of him, shouts could be heard from where Kate was once again attacking Sawyer.
"Goddamnit it, woman, put that down!"
"Woman? Who you callin' woman?"
"You! Hey…what are you…OW! That was a very big rock Kate!"
"I know…I hope it hurt!"
"Kate."
"And another thing…"
"Kate."
Kate finally noticed that Sayid was trying to get her attention and turned to him. "What?" She asked, blowing a wisp of hair out of her face.
"Have you seen Shannon?"
"No."
"Sawyer?"
"She and Claire went somewhere. I don't know where." Sawyer stressed before Sayid could even ask.
"Thank you." Sayid turned and sighed. Where could she have gone?
