No! NOOOOOOO! I'm sorry Boone, I didn't mean it! I only "pretend" killed you off! You can't die, Little B, you just can't! (Blows nose into a tissue and tosses it behind her back)

Oh well. At least it wasn't Locke!

Anyway, I'm here with another chapter. Please keep reviewing and ENJOY!

13. More Questions and More Torture for Sayid

"Hey, Charlie, what do you have there?"

Charlie looked up nervously, turning around to see Claire looking over his shoulder curiously. He tried to hide the almost completed VQ mixture, but she had already seen. He attempted a smile.

"I'm just making some lotion," he replied smoothly, revealing it completely. "My skin has been really dry lately."

She sat down next to him, her blue eyes gleaming. "So, what, is it body lotion or something?"

"No, it's for your scalp." He leaned in closer to her, looking around. "Did you know that statistics say that 75 of a person's dry skin is on their scalp? I mean, I can't stop itching mine!" He furiously scratched his scalp to enforce his point. "See what I'm saying? I'm going to put it on and to help with my dry skin."

"Wow, can I try some?" Claire gingerly reached towards the bowl but Charlie yanked it out of her grasp.

"No, Claire! I mean, it's only for men."

"Oh." Claire nodded in understanding, silent for a moment. "I can help you put it on, if you'd like."

"That would be nice." He handed the bowl to her, ignoring the nagging fact that it had to set for another five minutes. He was just happy to be getting some attention from Claire.

He sat while she massaged it over his entire scalp, sighing in relief now and then. When she had finished, he laid back down and shut his eyes.

"I'm going to take a nap while I wait for the effects- I mean, while I wait for it to soothe."

"I think I'm going to go check out the contest or see what Sun is doing. See you later!"

Meanwhile, out in the jungle...

"Wee! WEEEEE! Isn't this fun, Sayid?"

"Actually no." Sayid looked down, watching the world zoom past him as he and Michael Jack's Son began their thirtieth round on the roller coaster. "Michael, I want to get down."

"We can't get down! Oh, hey look, dude; it's my baby Junior!" He lifted a very ugly looking baby and set it in Sayid's arms. "Say hi to Uncle Sayid, Junior."

"You let your baby get on this freaking ride!" Sayid cried, looking back and forth between Junior and Michael. "This probably isn't very good for his brain!"

"I'll tell you what's not good for his brain; educational children's programs, soothing classical music, over ten hours of sleep a day, and baby food." He looked over the side. "Ah, let me show you something. This is so cool." He leaned over and grabbed Junior out of Sayid's arms, dangling him over the side of the roller coaster. To Sayid's horror, just as they were about to go down a large loop, he let him drop.

"OH MY GOSH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Sayid grabbed Michael's shoulders and started shaking him. "YOU ARE INSANE! YOU ARE A COMPLETE MANIAC! WHY DID YOU DO THAT? WHAT IN THE WORLD POSSESSED YOU TO DO THAT?"

"The little man in my head told me," Michael Jack's Son explained, looking up. "Oh, hold on one second." He put his arms out as Junior landed in them, fast asleep. He grinned, looking back up at Sayid. "Isn't that cool? I dropped him and then I caught him! Sweet!"

"You are nuts! You are just nuts!"

Michael shrugged, setting Junior back in the seat behind them. "Suit yourself, man. I think it's cool. Oh, gee, look; you can see the Black Rock from here!"

"Huh?" However, Sayid was so distraught over Michael dropping his child over the side of the roller coaster that he missed the Black Rock. "Oh, shoot. Michael, let's get down now. I'm not having any fun."

"Man, I told you; we can't get down." Michael Jack's Son's voice was full of sincerity.

"What do you mean?"

Michael pointed down. "Do you see that? That's the control box. No one's working there, so no one can stop the ride."

"You've got to be kidding me!" Sayid felt his jaw drop down. "So we're stuck on here forever?"

"At least until someone comes by to stop the ride. I used to have a polar bear named Janet who was trained to stop all of my rides, but one day she didn't come back home."

"HELP ME! HELP ME PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASSSSSEEEEEE!"

Meanwhile, back at the contests...

"Okay, here's the results." Kate cleared her throat, silencing the audience. Everyone looked up as the contestants stood.

"These are the scores out of 10. Walt, 7.9."

All the Walt fans roared, and several losers who had painted a W, A, L, and T on their chests ripped off their shirts and danced around.

"Jack, you have a 5.2."

All of the loyal Jackies booed and hissed, but Jack raised his hand to silence them.

"It's fine," he said in resignation. "Remember, these are the fair scores and I will accept whatever I get."

"Sawyer; 0."

Sawyer frowned, looking at the crowd's blank faces. There was no sound at all.

"Now this is just sad!" he exclaimed. "Don't any of you have anything to say for me?" Someone threw an empty soda can at his head so he shut-up, standing back as another object whirred past him.

"Boone; 9.5."

Everyone hated Boone, so there was immediately a large uproar. They could only be quieted when Kate began to whack on her Haliburton with a gavel.

"That's better. Now, the next contest is..."

TBC...

Orlando Hope: Gasps! How did you know my aspiration? LOL I'm just kidding. Thank you, thank you. I hope that you liked this chapter as well.

Imzadi: LOL You've given me an idea for a future chapter. Yes, Shannon still isn't letting go of Jin. He's going to have to find some way to get rid of her...I hope that you liked this chapter!

non-damsel: Ha ha Thank you. This is a really fun story to write. I hope you liked this chapter! Yes, Boone does have something up his sleeve (or should I say in his palm?).

lordoftheringsfanficreader: I really liked that line too. How did Boone know? Perhaps it has to do with his most recent trade with Walt... Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter!

Please keep reviewing! I love reviews!
