Chapter 37- Master Plan

Later, Sayid found Alex sitting alone on the deck, staring out to sea.

"Well, you've been awfully quiet since your quarrel with Dr. Macon." He commented, his eyes twinkling.

Alex smiled a little. "I'm not quiet, I'm plotting. Do you know where the girls are?"

"Yeah, they're all in Kate's room messing with the make-up Captain Sholl's wife gave them." Sayid rolled his eyes.

"Thanks, I think I'll go join them."

"Okay." Sayid watched as Alex walked away.

"Women!" Said a southern accent from behind him.

Turning around, Sayid found Jack, Jin, Charlie and Sawyer leaning on the railing.

"Why can't they put on mascara with their mouths closed? I was getting a headache listening to them jabbering on and on!"

Charlie shrugged. "No idea. Who wants to go watch TV?"

After a murmur of agreement, the five men shuffled to the ship's bar.

Alex could hear her friends long before she could see the room Kate and Sawyer shared. When she finally reached it, she rapped on the door, which Kate answered. Judging by her appearance, Shannon had already finished her make-over.

"Wow! You look great!" Alex exclaimed as she squeezed into the cramped room, which smelled like a mixture of perfume and lipstick.

"Thanks, Shannon works miracles!" Kate said, grinning.

"You're damn right I do; do you have any idea how hard it was to make you look even remotely pretty?" Shannon teased.

"Don't make me go over there and hit you with a pillow!" Threatened Kate.

"Aack! Don't, you mess up my hair!" Shannon squealed, ducking as a pillow whizzed past her.

"Okay, okay guys. I need your help."

Claire looked up from the floor where she was doing Sun's nails. "Our help? For what?"

"I want to get back at Dr. Macon."

"Who, the creep with more hair in his ears than on his head?" Sun said, causing a wave of giggles.

"Yup."

"What'd you have in mind?" Claire asked, plopping down on the bed.

"Well…" Alex hopped onto the bed, and started filling them in on her plan.

AN: I DID IT! My second chapter in two days! :D I'm getting better! I'm not going to be able to put up chapter 38 for at least another two days because...well, to tell the truth, I'm still figuring out what kind or torment to inflict on creepy Dr. Macon! Please R&R!
