As always, enjoy!

PS- Sorry for the slow update!

PPS- Who liked today's episode? I did! Why was Hurley on the Korean television though? Hmm...

8. Explanations

Everyone froze. Jack ran over to Claire.

"Wait, that was the last one!" Claire shouted, waving her arms. Everyone groaned and rolled their eyes.

"It was just a false alarm," Charlie said, enforcing her point.

"No, no." Hurley fell to his knees. "The horror! The freaking horror!"

"What's going on?" Kate gently put her hand on Hurley's shoulder. He looked up at her, his eyes tearful.

"The parts...are gone! There's no replacing them!"

Everyone looked at the column of smoke and fire.

"YOU! YOU!" Shannon lunged at Sawyer again, pinching his cheeks. "HOW COULD YOU! WE ALMOST GOT OFF OF THE ISLAND! YOU DESTROYED THE PARTS!"

"Hey, Sticks, he can replace them, can't he?" Sawyer didn't even try to push her off of him, knowing that it would be a hopeless cause.

"NO, THEY'RE IRREPLACEABLE!" Shannon shrieked. "AND DON'T CALL ME STICKS! I HATE THAT NAME!"

Shannon and Sawyer were making their way over to the destroyed parts. Jin shoved them away.

"Kkaeji antorok choshimhashio!" he snapped. Unfortunately, no understood Korean, otherwise they probably could have gotten off of the island that very day.

Shannon let go, putting her head in her hands and sobbing. "This is terrible! I had so many hopes, so many dreams. I was going to tan in a tanning booth, where sand couldn't get all over me."

"Um, that's great, but, what I want to know is why these three clowns thought Boone was dead," Michael interrupted, taking his son by the hand.

Jack snapped his fingers, an odd look coming over his face. "Locke! That sinister looking green gunk that you put on the back of our heads..."

Locke nodded. "Yes, that was a Vision Quest Mixture."

"Vision Quest Mixture?" Charlie repeated, his eyes glowing eagerly. "So, what, was it like a drug induced vision quest or something?"

Locke nodded. "You three aren't the only ones to go through one. Boone went on a VQ, and so did Jin, but I don't think he understood when I tried to explain it to him."

"Did you put us through the Vision Quest so that we would learn a valuable lesson that would assist to our survival on the island and cause to form some kind of brotherly bond?" Sawyer asked, his eyes wide.

Locke smiled. "Not really. I just thought it would be funny to see you guys running around like that."

"This is it!" Sayid cried, stomping into the middle of the group. "I've had it with every single one of you! I'm getting out of here!"

"Where are you going?" Walt asked.

"Somewhere far, far away from here, somewhere else on the island." Sayid turned around, glaring at them all. "And don't any of you try to follow me, because I'm not coming back!"

Everyone nodded fervently as Sayid disappeared into the jungle, still babbling to himself hysterically.

"I can't believe you still love Boone," Sawyer snarled at Kate, shoving Shannon away from him. "How could you do that?"

"What about me?" Jack asked, frowning.

"Wait, wait!" Kate threw her hands in the air, stepping into the middle of them all, exactly where Sayid had been standing. "You three - or now, two - may not have learned a valuable lesson when you went on your VQ, but I have learned something about myself."

Kate took a deep breath.

"I love all three of you!"

Orlando Hope: Heheh Are you glad I brought in Charlie and Claire? There will be a lot more Charlie-stuff coming up, so have no fear! Anyway, I promise that the next chapter will be longer.

Imzadi: Ha ha I'm glad you liked the ad! Yeah, Claire was kind of a nuisance, but she did end the fight, so we have to give her that credit. The Neo thing is really just playing off of the fact that the guy who played Michael was in the Matrix Reloaded and the Matrix Revolutions. He played one of the main characters, but he wasn't Neo, and in the movies, Neo is 'the one'. I hope you liked this chapter too!

Phoenix-Talon: Good, now I know that my job is done. (Tips tweed hat and stuffs hands in trench coat before walking down the foggy street, disappearing into the mist as someone plays the saxophone).
