Shanananana!

---------------------------------

Claire smiled, Shannon was sleeping inside her tent. She leaned down and nudged her in the side, "Shannon, Shannon!"

"Sea monkey stole my money…" Shannon muttered in her sleep.

"Shannon, how much money did he steal?"

"Sea monkey.. stop.." Shannon slowly opened her eyes, saw Claire, and squeezed them tightly shut. Crap! She had forgotten to get Aaron back from Sawyer. Shannon opened her eyes and in the cheereist voice she could manage, "Hey, Claire, how was…"

Claire's eyes got big and she forgot all about Aaron, "It was.. well, I might move back to the caves…"

Shannon sputtered on her water, "Claire, you can't I mean, Aaron likes it here better!"

Claire, did a double take, did Shannon care? No… "Well, Aaron and I could come back here and, but I might not move back to the caves-"

"Well, well, well, looks like the mother wolf is back at her den" they both looked up to see Sawyer standing at the opening of Shannon's tent holding Aaron, "here is the little one, no need to pay, Sticks already did."

Claire took the wriggling bundle out of Sawyers arms and gave him her thanks and threw a look at Shannon. Shannon shrugged her shoulders, "What? He was staring at me!"

Claire just shook her head, "We're gonna go.."

"Okay, lettme know if you decide.. about the caves.."

Claire nodded and made her way across the beach, something about the last part of the conversation was forced… Claire had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach.

Shannon layed back down and flipped on to her stomach. She thought that Claire and Charlie would get in another argument and then Claire would just shut up about him! But no, everything had to go right. It's not that Shannon didn't like Claire she did. Claire was the only one who could look Shannon in the eye and talk to her. Claire seemed as if she understood. Shannon sent Claire off to talk to Charlie so she would get off the subject of him. So Claire could move on. And it looked like she was, but with Charlie.

Although, Shannon could move to the caves with Claire, stay friends, but Sayid had moved to the caves. She had gotten over Sayid, she just didn't like seeing him, with that kicked puppy look on her face. Not enjoyable.

Shannon stood up and stretched her legs. She needed some fresh air. She made her way out of her 'make-shift' shelter and sat down on the sand, the ocean lapping at her toes to be left alone with herself.
