A Plan Full-filled By Accident

"Pull the knot Sawyer!" Sayid cried as the monster came closer to them. "Pull it now!"

"I ain't pulling no knot. I might loose one of the gold plates on my teeth."

"Do it or I'll tell everyone where your Secret Stash of Island Necessities For the Day When We Discover We Shall Never Escape is!" Jack said tersely.

Sawyer couldn't stand a threat like that. He quickly pulled the knot with his teeth, and in no time, they were untangled.

"Follow me!" Sayid cried. "I know where a grove of bamboo trees are that we can hide behind!"

Jack started following him. He turned to look behind. Sawyer was standing there, with a gun in his hands!

Sawyer started shooting at every leaf that moved. Jack grabbed him, praying that Sawyer didn't accidentally shoot HIM instead of the monster. They made their way into the grove, and stood there, waiting for the monster to go away.

For a long time the only sound that Jack heard was the breathing of his companions and the strange loud noises of the monster. It blocked the sunlight (somehow, the sun had move so that they could be shadowed over by the monster), and they were all hidden in shadow. Suddenly, light began flowing back over them like someone was spilling a jug of lemonade in slow motion over them. They paused a moment, and when they were sure that the monster was gone, they stepped out from inside of the grove.

"What did you think you were doing?" Sayid demanded. "You could have gotten all of us killed!"

"Well, I shot a bear," Sawyer snapped. "Who's to say that I couldn't shoot this thing too?"

"Monsters can't be killed by being shot," Sayid said, rolling his eyes. "It just doesn't work that way."

"You're just afraid that I would get all of the glory." Sawyer crossed his arms. "Well let me tell you something, buddy..."

"I wonder what this sinister looking green substance on the back of our heads is." Jack put a finger on the top of his head so that some of the substance was on his finger. He put it under his nose and sniffed. "It doesn't smell like anything used for treating a wood..."

"So what is it, Jungle Jack?" Sawyer rolled his eyes. "I don't care what this stuff is; I'm more concerned about why that old geezer tied us all to a tree but, hey, I'm crazy, remember?"

"Do you hear that?" Sayid asked, raising a hand to stop them. They could hear the melody of a pan-flute on the wind. "Let's hide in the grove again!"

They hid behind the bamboo. They could barely see the figure of Boone pass by. He was blowing on a small pan-flute. It appeared as if he had made it himself.

Birds landed on tree limbs as he passed. Foxes (yeah, foxes live there) paused, cocking their heads to the side. Butterflies flew in flocks around him as he sat down on a rock. Bears came out from hiding behind trees. Skunks hastily gathered around his feet. Sawyer thought he saw a few snails crawling past.

A baby bird began to sing along with Boone. Soon, the bird was singing in harmony, and then a bear growled in a round. The skunks bobbed their heads back and forth. The foxes howled as if they were singing as well, joining in the song. The snails continued crawling.

"This is sick," Sawyer snarled. "I don't think I can take much more of this, Jack."

Sayid began rummaging through his pockets. "Yes, I have one!"

"What, a brain?" Sawyer asked sarcastically.

Sayid ignored him. "I have an idea, and I'm pretty sure that it will work..."

Boone continued playing his melody on the pan-pipe. Suddenly, Sayid stepped right in front of him, waving a candy bar.

"Look, Little B, look what good ole' Sayid has for you!"

Boone's melody grew faster. Sayid could tell that he was excited.

"Follow me!" Sayid began dancing. Boone followed him. The animals skipped after their Master.

Boone was playing "In the Hole of the Mountain King." It might be similar to a song that you know. It was just a bit faster.

They walked for a long distance. Even the people on the beach stopped to hear the music (or so Sayid thought, anyway).

Sayid looked up. He could see Sawyer on his stomach, lying on a tree limb (by the way, Sayid and Jack had taken the gun from him and put it under a rock that they THOUGHT he hadn't seen). Across the path from Sawyer, Jack was hiding behind a tree. Boone was too enraptured in the candy bar and his music to know anything that was going on. Their plan was working perfectly...

Sawyer was just about to jump out of the tree, when a roar made the whole jungle shake.

"It's the monster!" he shouted, falling out of the tree and landing on Sayid. The impact made Sayid toss the candy bar behind him. The animals scattered as Boone bent down to pick it up.

Jack, Sawyer, and Sayid began running in the opposite direction. They expected to see Boone behind them, but he was still so happy about getting the candy bar that he was thinking straight. At that moment, they saw him get sucked up, just like a vacuum cleaner sucks up a stray dust bunny that should have stayed hidden beneath the sofa or bed.

And that was the end of Boone.

Or so they thought...

Orlando Hope: Thank you; trust me, I will keep up with it (I can barely stop!).

Imzadi: LOL just make sure that you don't hit your head while rolling. Yes, Shannon's Grip of Death is quite dangerous; more dangerous than even Boone knows...heh heh heh...

Pink Pinker: Just don't hold a calla lily while you laugh! I'm glad that you're enjoying it.
