I have to admit, I did a little research before going any further on the topic of peanuts.

LunaAqua: Thank you, I'm flattered. Yes they find peanuts, but unfortunately, they don't grow on trees

Fanatsy Cat: I'm glad you laughed so hard. I must be doing something right

Jewess84: Yes, lets think of all the possibilities, heheheh. But really, I did think that Americans did say crisps (must be the ignorant Australian inside me)

Charlie...is...hot...drool

I love Sawyer!

Sorry, don't own Lost. Wish I did, but the milkshakes are mine!


"I found peanuts!" Hurley pointed to the greenish-yellow shrub on the ground.

"I thought peanuts grew on trees." Charlie scratched his head.

"Nah, I did a project on this in junior high. I learned more about peanuts than I ever cared to know about." Hurley laughed and pulled the shrub from the ground. Small pods emerged from underground and swung in front of Charlie's face.

"Peanuts…peanuts on the island…peanuts are edible…Claire likes peanuts…GIVE ME THE PEANUTS!" Charlie launched towards Hurley reaching for the innocent shrub.

"Hey I found this first. Go find your own shrub." Hurley frowned, raising the shrub above his head. Charlie became extremely frustrated: even though Hurley happened to have the largest width on the island, he was also pretty tall…and Charlie wasn't mistaken for a hobbit for nothing.

"Give it to me!" he yelled, standing on tippee-toes.

"There are other words apart from that. Say the magic word."

"NOW!"

"This sounds reasonably familiar…" Locke trailed off, after climbing down the tree. Charlie thrust out his bottom lip and his hands into his pockets.

"Please…" he sulked. Hurley rolled his eyes.

"Since you have been so rude to me, I think I might give them to Claire myself. Or I could eat them…God knows I need the protein."

"You wouldn't be so cruel." Charlie's eyes bulged. Sawyer chuckled from behind, lugging the heavy bucket of honey.

"By the looks of it, my little Muchkin, you're going to have to suck it up to him big-time to get those peanuts." He grinned evilly. An equally evil gleam in Hurley's eyes appeared.

"I know what you can do for me. You can go ask the fugit-I mean, Kate, for 20 grand. Then perhaps I'll give you the peanuts."

"What! 20 grand for a couple of peanuts!" Charlie gasped.

"Sorry dude, inflation has hit the roof on this island, and its time to pay up." Hurley chuckled. Charlie's eye twitched involuntary, any more time on this island and he would become riddled with madness.

"I wanna go back to the real world." He screamed at the sky. Walter came back from his search for his dog and realised it might be a good time to head back. Sawyer was patting Charlie's back sympathetically.

Defeated, Charlie headed back towards the caves.


To be continued...

Sorry It was such a short chapter, I'm in a study at the moment.
