Wow, thank you all for the great reviews! It's a real honour!

Freckles-101 - I'm glad you like this story so much. I left off the episode after Dom was nearly killed by Ethan. I cried so much in that! But I'm not allowed to watch anymore coz I had a fight with my Step-father over a Chemistry tutorial and I'm not allowed to watch ANY TV. Period.

I'm barely surviving. My sister is keeping me up-to-date.

Yes, before I go any further. I'm a Physics and Chemistry nerd! It's not boring, you get to learn the Right-Hand Grip Rule, and make jokes about circular motion. Don't even talk to me about the Mole! mwa-hahahaha!

Whirlwind-2005- Thankyou for the review. You know...I want a world with BOTH Charlie and Dom. Twice the Trouble, Twice the Fun.

Okay, so the dog's name is Vincent. So sue me.


Charlie muttered as he headed back to the caves, behind him stalked Sawyer, whistling the theme song to The Wizard of Oz. The conman was beginning to grate on the ex-drug addict's nerves.

"Oh, be quiet." He muttered.

"You didn't stop when I asked you to." Sawyer retorted and continued his off-note tune. When they reached the forest path, the tune changed to "Follow the Yellow Brick Road". Charlie was relieved when he saw the cave entrance.

Kate was sunning herself on a rock, next to Sun's garden, playing with her little toy plane. It disappeared when she saw Sawyer.

"Good afternoon, Freckles." He said.

"Hello Sawyer. What do you want?" She replied, none too politely.

"Just to see the sunlight on your face…producing more freckles." He chuckled. Charlie placed a well-aimed kick to his upper ankle. Sawyer bit down his lips to contain the cry of pain as he floated down to nurse his ankle.

"Careful Sawyer. Another inner release of anger like that, and you're looking at a stomach ulcer." Charlie raised his eyebrows unsympathetically.

"When did you become the doctor?" He wheezed.

"Go to Jack if you want a second opinion. I don't think he has that great of an opinion of you either." He watched Sawyer heave his injured pride away.

"Damn yo-owowowow." He cried as limped away.

"He's milking it, the old sook." Charlie huffed mainly to himself.

"Thank you Charlie." Kate said with mirth in her eyes.

"No problem. Actually…oh this embarrassing…I was wondering where I might find 20 grand, and I was told that you might know." Charlie's foot shyly traced a pattern in the dirt.

"Twenty thousand dollars? What for?" she asked. Sun appeared, with a watering can. She ignored them and checked up on her medicinal plants.

"I've got to buy some peanuts."

There was a stunned silence and Kate cracked up laughing, "That's ridiculous!"

"This isn't funny you know."

"Yes it is hahahaaa."

"Hurley's got them hostage." He moaned.

"Heh heh. And you need the ransom?" she wiped away a tear of mirth, "Tell me, where did he find them? Did they fall from the plane?"

"No, they were on the island. They grow here, but he's not letting me have them." He sulked. Sun was suddenly interested.

"Can you bring the plant here? I would not mind trying to grow it." she asked.

"Sometimes it is weird listening to you speak English. Yeah, sure; only if Hurley hasn't killed it."

"I just need the plant to identify it. It is very useful…very nourishing." She said.

"I know. That's why I've got to get it. There is a woman who needs it, and I'm running out of imaginary peanut butter." Charlie stood tall. Kate rolled her eyes.

"Wait a second, you old romantic. I might have the solution." She rummaged though her silver case and counted a wad of green notes. She handed him the resultant few. His face lit up in delight.

"Thank you so much Kate; I owe you one." He waved as he skipped out of the cave.

"Yeah, you owe me twenty grand, and a peanut plant minus the peanuts!" She shouted out to him. Jack walked across the room.

"What was that all about?" He asked.

"Will you ever give me peanuts like that?" She sighed happily, gazing out the entrance of the cave.

"What?"

"Never mind." Kate said rolling her eyes.


To Be Continued...
