Ponyboysgirl1: Hey. I'm a little bit confused, as I'm sure you are. I was not the writer of the story your talking about, but I agree that the lines are very much the same. I've never read it before, I'm positive of that. The only place I ever read fan fiction from is here, and I don't do that very often. I don't really know what to say. It really doesn't make any since to me.

Hekate-Trivia: Yeah, I defiantly noticed that I was switching Kate and Claire's name's a lot by accident when I was reading over it. I tried to go back and fix them but I guess I must have looked over it. Sorry about that. I'll try to be more careful.

LostLorenzo: Hey! Yeah, apparently the site isn't allowing writers to reply to reviews. I still plan to keep posting in here, but I'm probably going to start putting my stories on other sites as well so I can still communicate with my readers. So far, I haven't had any problem with it. But the warning just went out, so who knows what the sites going to do about it. Anyway, about the story. Glad you liked it! I'm very proud of me scene, and I'm defiantly going to have to write more. And don't worry, Shannon and Kate, and probably Sun as well, will all get their turns. And I've already got some clever idea's as to Suns dare, as well. But, you'll just have to wait and find out.

Stark Wars

Safety First

Shannon, Kate, and Sun all stood outside Charlie and Claire's tent, witch had remained completely silent since the two snuck in last night. "Do think their still asleep?" Sun questioned, since it was already past afternoon. "What else would they be doing?" Kate replied, arms crossed over her chest. "Fucking" Shannon suggested bluntly, causing her two accomplices to laugh.

"Its awful Quiet" Kate noted playfully. The three girls laughed again. Both Kate and Sun watched in surprise as Shannon walked forward, tired of observing the tent from a distance. "Shan, what are you doing?" Kate questioned in a loud whisper, carefully chasing after her. "This is dumb. I'm going in" Shannon explained, and without another word, disappeared behind the flap of the tent. Kate turned to Sun, shrugged, and went in.

Inside...

Claire's eyes fluttered open to find Charlie already awake, smiling at her adoringly as she slowly became awake. "Morning" she murmured, a dreamy smile slipping onto her face. "Good morning" He replied, laying a kiss on her nose. She snuggled closer to him, feeling his arm slide around her. For a moment it was completely silent. The whole world was still.

"Good morning" The amused female voice chimed in. Charlie and Claire both looked up in surprise to see Shannon, Kate, and Sun standing at the end of their bed. "Holly shit" Charlie gasped out loud. "How long have you been there?"

"Not long" Kate explained with a shrug. "You guys have been sleeping for hours. Thought we'd wake you up!" Shannon explained, hopping onto their bed. "Oh...how nice" Charlie muttered sarcastically, rolling his eyes. "Well, were awake now, so...you can go" He explained in a hinting tone, speaking mostly to Shannon, who seemed to be the ring leader in all this.

"Your bed is a hell of a lot nicer than mine" Shannon noted, bouncing on the makeshift mattress. "Careful. It might break" Claire warned, her voice a little raw. "Aw, Claire. You lost your voice." Kate noted in a sympathetic tone. "Damn. How'd that happen?" Shannon questioned teasingly, shooting Claire an accusing look. Claire blushed.

"Could you guys leave...please?" Charlie asked, trying not to sound aggravated. "Aw. Someone's a little cranky" Shannon teased in a baby-talk voice, reaching out her hand to pinch his cheek. Charlie slapped it away before she could touch him. "Go, please" He insisted, giving her a pleading look.

"Make me" Shannon replied with a testing grin, knowing there was nothing he could do. Charlie grimaced, knowing it as well. Kate and Sun snickered in the back ground like school girls. "So, Claire. What were you kids up to last night?" Shannon questioned, turning to her with a bright smile.

Claire blushed instantly. "We went for a walk" She explained, glancing at Charlie for help. He nodded, agreeing. "A walk, huh? Lets see, Claire left at about eleven yesterday, and you guys didn't get back until about...three last night. That's a long walk" Sun noted, teasingly. "Yeah, no wonder your so tired" Shannon noted, flashing Charlie another smile. He looked in no way amused.

"Come on girls. Lets let them get some more sleep" Kate suggested, pulling Shannon off their bed by her arm. "Wait. I'm kind of tired. Can I stay?" Shannon questioned, struggling to stay on the bed as Kate tugged at her arm. "No" both Charlie and Claire replied in unison. At that instant, Shannon tumbled off onto the floor.

"Fine" She muttered, climbing back up. The girls left the tent, leaving Charlie and Claire alone. "So...Convinced?" Shannon questioned, turning to Kate as they walked out. Kate pulled a twenty dollar bill out of her pocket and shoved it in Shannon's hand. Shannon smiled triumphantly and walked back to her tent.

Back in the tent...

"Thank god" Charlie sighed in relief, laying his head back against the pillow. "You think they know?" Claire questioned, a little nervous. "Probably" he replied bluntly, rolling onto his side to face her. "Do you care?"

"No" Claire answered, smiling lightly. "Good" He replied, leaning down to give her a kiss. "Because I plan to do that many more times" He explained playfully, cupping her cheek in his palm. Claire smiled. "Me two" She agreed, in a very innocent tone. Charlie smiled. He closed his eyes again, still tired from their previous activities. For a moment it was silent.

"I'm gonna go check up on Aaron" Claire explained, slipping out from under the blankets. Charlie murmured something in protest, but was to tired to pursue the subject, so he let her slip out of his arms. "Don't worry. I'll be back soon" She promised, leaning over and kissing him on the forehead. Charlie watched with hooded eyes as Claire pulled on the nearest pair of pants and slipped out of the tent before closing his eyes once again.

Claire made her way across the beach in search of Aaron and who ever had been taking care of him all morning. She was surprised to find him with Sawyer. The two sat in his tent, Aaron laid across his lap, casually looking around. He let out a high pitched squeal and reached out his chubby little arms when he spotted his mother coming towards them.

"It about time you got back" Sawyer noted, acting as if caring for Aaron was a hassle. Secretly, he enjoyed it. Though, it wasn't much of a secret, at least, not to Claire. "How is he?" She questioned, ignoring Sawyers comment as she sat down beside him, pulling Aaron into her arms and placing a kiss on his head.

"He was crying a lot earlier, but I calmed him down" Sawyer explained, casually. Claire nodded. "I missed you" She coed, giving Aaron another kiss on the cheek. He giggled in response. Claire laughed as well. "Well,...Looks like your in a good mood" Sawyer noted, a teasing grin worked its way onto his face. Claire looked up, surprised. Oh god, every one knows.

She played it off cool, shrugging casually as if she didn't know what he was talking about. Sawyer didn't buy it for one second. "So...I had a little talk with your boy last night...or this morning...how ever you want to look at it" Sawyer explained in a hinting tone. Claire shoot him a look of confusion. "Really?" She questioned, trying to act as if she were just keeping up normal conversation.

"Yep. Well, it wasn't really a talk. He just told me that he won are little bit" Sawyer clarified, flashing her a smirk. "You wanna tell me what that means?" He questioned suggestively, raising an eye brow in her direction.

"I better get Aaron back inside. He's probably getting hungry" Claire noted, purposely avoiding the subject. "Feed him an hour ago" Sawyer assured bluntly, knowing he was getting to her. Claire tried to think up another excuse, but couldn't. So she just gave a nervous smile and headed back to her tent with Aaron in her arms.

At their tent...

Charlie felt Claire sit down on the bed an opened his eyes. Her back was to him, but her could see Aaron smile over her shoulder, doing his best to stand on her lap. "Hey" Charlie murmured, sitting up and scooting closer to them. He kissed Aaron on the top of his head, then went to kiss Claire on her cheek, but was surprised when she didn't respond.

"What's wrong, luv?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side so that he could see her face. "You told Sawyer?" She questioned, cutting straight to the point. A look of surprised crossed his face, as if he'd been caught red handed."No...not exactly" Charlie replied, stuttering nervously. Claire raised an eye brow at him, skeptically.

"I thought you said you didn't care if they knew?" He questioned, turning the guilt off himself for a moment. "Yeah! Them as in Shannon, Kate and Sun! Sawyer not included!" Claire exclaimed in frustration. "Well, how was I supposed to know?" Charlie questioned innocently. "I don't know! Common sense, maybe?" Claire replied, sarcastically.

Charlie smiled, he couldn't help it. "Stop that. This isn't funny" Claire scolded, an aggravated pout across her face. "I know, I'm sorry. You just look so cute when your angry" Charlie explained innocently, smiling at her in adoration. Claire scowled at him in response. At that moment, Aaron started to fuss. "Great" Claire muttered sarcastically, pulling him forward so that she could comfort him.

"See? He doesn't want you yelling at me" Charlie noted playfully, leaning back on his elbows. "Yeah, well, tell him you deserve it" Claire replied, setting the baby on his lap before hopping off the bed. Charlie laid back all the way, holding Aaron up in a sitting position on his chest. "Aaron, I deserve it" Charlie explained, playfully, hearing the baby giggle and clap his hands in response.

Claire looked at the two over her shoulder, and couldn't help but laugh. "See, he forgives me. Now, its your turn" Charlie explained, looking up at Claire apologetically. Claire looked at him for a moment, then sighed, giving in. "Fine. I forgive you" She replied, sitting down on the bed again. Charlie sat up and laid his head on her shoulder childishly.

Claire smiled and shook her head. "Go back to sleep" She suggested playfully, unable to keep herself from laughing. "Yes, ma'am" Charlie agreed easily, laying back down while Aaron remained on his stomach. Claire shook her head once again, watching the two boys close their eyes almost in unison as they snuggled up under the blankets. "Kids" She sighed, shaking her head before climbing into bed with them.

Later...

Claire sat out on the edge of the beach with Aaron in her lap, looking out at the water, watching the sun go down. "Hey, Claire" Shannon greeted, taking a seat beside her. "Hay" Claire replied with a smile. "You didn't come here to make fun of me, did you?" She added, accusingly. "Of course not" Shannon replied with an innocent smile. Claire scoffed at her in disbelief.

"No, seriously. I wanted to ask you something" Shannon explained. "Oh, ok. Go ahead" Claire replied, giving her a curious look. "Ok. So last night, when you and Charlie...you know. Did you use any kind of...protection?" Shannon asked, sounding a little nervous. "...No" Claire replied, giving Shannon a confused look.

"So, you just decided to risk it?" Shannon questioned. "Yeah. I guess so" Claire replied, still a little confused. "Why do you ask?" She added, in reply. "Oh...um. No reason" Shannon replied nervously. Claire could tell she was hiding something. "Well, that's all I wanted to know. I'll leave you alone" Shannon added quickly, and hopped up to her feet before Claire could say anything else.

Claire watched her walk away in confusion before turning back to Aaron. "Think she's lost it?" She questioned, hearing the little boy giggle in response. "I thought you'd say that"

At The Caves...

"They didn't use any" Shannon announced, walking into Sayid's cave. "Your kidding?" He questioned, in disbelief. "Nope. They 'risked' it" She confirmed sarcastically, arms crossed over her chest. "Well, then, what are we going to do?" Sayid questioned, a little nervous about the whole subject.

"I don't know" Shannon shrugged, sitting down on his bed. "I mean, I want to, believe me. I just, I don't want to..." She trailed off. "Risk it" Sayid finished for her, nodding in agreement. Shannon sighed, placing her chuckles under her chin. "Well,...don't worry. I'm sure we can find something. After all, someone on the plan had to have some sort of protection with them" Sayid noted reassuringly, putting an arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah...but where are we going to find it?" Shannon asked in reply. The situation, to her, seemed hopeless. "I don't know. But tomorrow, we'll look, all right? Well, look the over the whole island" Sayid suggested, a comforting smile across his face. Shannon hesitated for a moment, then smiled as well.

"Ok" She agreed, laying her head on his shoulder. Sayid kissed her forehead, comfortingly, pulling his arm tighter around her. Shannon turned her head so that they were eye to eye. For a moment, it was silent. She leaned in and kissed him, smiling lightly against his lips. "I'll see you tomorrow" She explained, and with that, hopped up off the bed and walked out of the tent.

The End
For now

Ok, kids! Hope you liked it. You'll hear from me again soon.
