Hekate-trivia: lol. Thanks. I decided since the last fic I did was so serious most of the time, it would be good to make the next one a comedy. So I'm glad you liked it.

Sweet Revenge
"Jack?"
The sound of Kate's voice broke the fluttering silence that had been dwelling in Jacks empty cave for what seemed like ages. He hopped up from his Mat on the floor quickly, looking to the opening of the tent where Kate peered in, a worried look on her face. "What's wrong?" starring back at her.
"You better come see this" She explained, looking very worried. He nodded, and followed her out. It was light out side, but most of the people at the caves were still asleep. They moved through, careful not to wake any one. Jack waited until they'd moved past the camping area to speak.
"What's going on?" He questioned, pushing his way through the trees. "I'll tell you when we get there" She replied, glancing at him over her shoulder as she lead the way. Jack looked at her in confusion. "Why can't you tell me now?" He asked curiously. Kate hesitated for a moment. "Its...Its hard to explain. It will be easier just to let you see for yourself" She explained, glancing back once again.
"Oh...All right" He sighed, still confused. But he trusted Kate enough to know she was probably right, so he just shut his mouth and went along with it. They weren't rushing, witch was a good sign. There was no panic either. Apparently what ever it was she planned to show him would be nothing tragic.
It wasn't long before they broke through the edge of trees and made it to the beach. Jack looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary. It was a nice, sunny day. Most of the people down here were awake. Moving about, talking casually or relaxing in front of their tents. Nothing unsocial. Actually, it was almost to normal. Jack turned to Kate in confusion, wondering what the problem was.
"Fallow me" She instructed simply, and stepped out onto the sand. He followed her out to the edge of the shore, a bit off from the rest of the crowed, near a small stretch of rocks. Jack still couldn't find anything out of place, except for Sawyer of course, who stood at the edge of the water, waiting for them. Kate stopped before him, as did Jack, who still looked very confused.
"I don't see anything, Kate" He explained, looking at her curiously. He was beginning to get suspicious. If what ever it was called for Sawyer's presence in the matter, it might be worse that he thought. "Look" Kate instructed, pointing out towards the ocean. Jack turned in the direction of the waves and squinted his eyes from the sun.
Bright blue sky with a few big fluffy clouds, sparkling, clear waves. Nothing strange. "Kate, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking at here-" he began, turning his head just slightly to catch her expression. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught her take a quick glance at Sawyer. It clicked in his mind a second to late, and before he knew it he had been pushed face forward into the incoming waves.
He wrestled his way out from the water and looked up at the two in confusion. "Oh my god!" Kate gasped, unable to stop herself from laughing. "I can't believe that actually worked!" She exclaimed, trying to cover her mouth. It was no use. "Wait a minute. You woke me up and dragged me all the way out here just to push me in the ocean?" Jack questioned, raising an eye brow at the two.
Kate exchanged a glance with Sawyer for a moment before turning back to him. "Yep" The two answered in unison, both bursting out into laughter once again. Jack shook his head and pushed himself to his feet, shooting them both an annoyed glance as he walked bast, only making them laugh even harder. He'd have expected something like this from Sawyer, but not Kate. It was a rare occasion when she did anything that might be considered fun. Especially at his expense.
He glanced back once again, Seeing Kate lean on Sawyers shoulder as she laughed historically. A hint of jealously rose within him as he watched the two crack each other up. He'd never seen her laugh so hard, and yet, there she was. barely able to control herself. All because of Sawyer. The sight made him sick. He had to get away. He turned his back on the two and headed back to the caves.
Kate and Sawyer waited until he'd disappeared into the trees before they decided to stop. "Man...that was fun" Sawyer sighed, still smiling with amusement. "He's probably heading back to his tent to change" Kate noted, dropping any sign of laughter and going back to a serious mode. "All right, so where dose that put us?" Sawyer questioned, raising an eye brow in her direction.
We wait a few minutes, then fallow him. The rest of the girls are already there" She explained, casually. Sawyer nodded. "Tell me again why I agreed to do this?" He questioned, turning to her after a moment. "To see the look on his face" Kate answered, her smile fighting its way back.
"Oh, right" Sawyer grinned in amusement. "Come on, lets go fallow him" Kate suggested, trying to wipe the grin off her face. Sawyer nodded and followed, and the two headed back into the jungle.
Jack had made it back to his cave, even more pissed off than before. He stomped into his cave and began digging through his pile of cloths for something else to wear. He'd been awake for about an hour and he was all ready in a bad mood. Why would she do that? He thought as he grabbed a button up shirt and a different pair of pants out of the pile.
This wasn't like Kate at all. She'd been around Sawyer to much. He was starting to get to her, Jack concluded as he pulled off his shirt. His train of thought was disturbed a sound from outside. It was a small rustling just outside his tent that startled him for a moment. It was nothing big. Probably just a branch of a tree or someone walking by, but he still felt uneasy. As if someone was watching him.
He decided to ignore it and undid his pants. As soon as they were gone, the feeling returned. It was undeniable. Jack looked around each wall, seeing nothing out of place, just as before. This worried him. He couldn't put his finger on it, but he knew, something wasn't right. But by then, it was to late. They'd gotten him again.
He had realized that there was way to much light coming into his cave, but before he could even look up, he could hear the sounds of laughter. Quickly, he pulled his pants back up and walked out of his cave, not even taking a second glance at the opening where the light and laughter had came from. He stormed out of the opening and turned around to see the majority of the females on the Island gathered on top of the roof of his gave, all smiling down at him.
"What is this?" Jack questioned, talking directly to Kate who stood at the front of the crowed. "A dare" She explained with an amused smile. "A dare?" Jack questioned, raising an eye brow up at her. "That's what I said" She confirmed with a shrug. "I don't get it" He replied, not at all amused.
"Your not supposed to" She replied, casually. As if she'd done nothing wrong. "Right" He nodded, simply. With that, he turned around, pulling on his shirt as he walked off alone. "Are you happy?" Kate questioned, turning back to face the group of girls, feeling rather guilty about the whole thing. "I am" Sawyer replied bluntly, grinning like a fool.
"Why? Your the one who lost the contest" Kate replied smartly, Before turning around and climbing down the rocks. Sawyer was speechless as the group of girls around him burst out into laughter. Kate hopped off the rocks and raced after Jack, hopping she could better explain. She caught up to him in no time.
"Jack, please listen to me" She began, running up beside him. Jack said nothing, and continued walking. "Look, it was a stupid dare, ok? Don't take it personally." Kate explained, apologetically. "Don't take it personally?" Jack questioned angrily, stopping and turning to face her. "In case you didn't notice, it was my own personal body that everyone saw!" he exclaimed angrily.
"Well, you weren't the only one" Kate replied softly, feeling very guilty. "Oh, yeah? Who else?" Jack questioned, skeptically. "Sawyer" Kate answered, hopping it would help. "Sawyer?...I thought he was in on it?" Jack questioned, slightly confused. "Well, he is now. But he wasn't before" She explained. "I'm confused" He replied blunted.
"Me and the girls were playing truth or dare, and Shannon asked me between the two of you, witch one was, you know...bigger" Kate began, feeling a little awkward at the subject. Jack raised an eye brow, but allowed her to continue. "And I told her I didn't know, so they dared me to find out..." She finished, making it all seem so casual. "Do you forgive me?" She added, a hopeful look on her face.
Jack was silent for a moment, taking it all in. Kate waited for him to speak penitently, dreading what he would say. But when he finally spoke up, it caught her by surpass. "Who won?" he questioned bluntly, looking her in the eye. "Excuse me?" Now Kate was the one who was confused. "The contest, who won?" Jack repeated, curiously.
"...You" Kate replied after a moment, feeling very uncomfortable. "Oh, well in that case...I forgive you" Jack explained, a smile crossing his face. "Really?" Kate questioned, in surprise. He was taking this all really well. Not what she had expected. "Are you kidding? This is great! If anything I should be thanking you!" He exclaimed with a laugh, bringing a smile to Kate's face.
"Well...good" She nodded, smiling awkwardly. "Your welcome" she added, sarcastically. The two were silent for a moment, then both broke out into laughter. "Come on" Jack suggested, taking her hand in his, "Lets go rub it in."
Kate nodded and followed him back to the caves so the two could make fun of Sawyer, more so than usual. Jack wasn't mad, Sawyer wasn't mad, and most of all, Kate had proven herself once again. It had all worked out fairly well.
Later that night...
"Well, Kate, you did it" Claire noted as the girls all sat around a fire in their secret location. "Yep. Were very proud" Shannon added sarcastically, patting her on the back. "Well you should be. That was a lot of work" Kate replied, jokingly. "Yeah, but...the reward wasn't bad" Shannon noted playfully.
"Yeah, well. I'm glad you enjoyed it" Kate muttered sarcastically. "So, who's up for another game?" Shannon questioned, looking around the circle of girls. They all nodded in reply. "Ok, Kate. I believe its your turn" Shannon explained, turning to her with a smile. "Ok" Kate agreed, looking around the group with a conspicuous grin.
"Well, since I had to go through the embarrassment of getting naked in front of a rather attractive man..." Kate began, continuing to look around the circle. "And I had to get two of my friends naked, making it very hard to have any sort of contact with either of them ever again..." She continued, tauntingly. "I think its only fair that who ever I pick should have to face the same" She finished, stopping her gaze on Shannon.
"Truth, or dare?" Kate questioned, a sly grin across her face. "Me?" Shannon questioned, looking up inspired. Kate nodded. "But, I didn't do anything. Claire was the one who gave you the dare!" Shannon exclaimed defensively, pointing in Claire's direction. "Oh don't worry" Kate assured, turning her gaze on Claire. "She's next"
"What?" Claire questioned, looking back innocently. Kate simply grinned. "Pay back's a bitch"
Ok, kids. That's all for now. I'm having a little trouble thinking up a really good dare for Shannon, so if you have any ideas, please let me know!
