Treasure or Bust
Julie, Portman, Adam, Guy, Jesse, Ken, Connie, Fulton, Luis, Charlie, Dwayne, Russ, Goldberg, and Averman
"I feel like some kind of Australian treasure hunter," Goldberg said.
"Why Australian?" Dwayne asked.
"Why not? I can be anything I want to be," Goldberg said. "You're such a buzzkill," Goldberg added.
"Hey mates, I say we find this treasure and get a one way ticket out of here. What do you say ay?" Fulton said trying his horrible Australian accent.
"Ay? That was so Canadian," Charlie said laughing at him.
"That didn't even sound Australian. It was more like bad British," Connie said.
"Or a dying pirate," Goldberg added.
"Fulton, you can hardly speak English correctly, what makes you think you sound at all Australian?" Guy said.
"Well then if you don't like it, you can all kiss my place down under," Fulton said in his Aussi accent.
"It's going to be really weird getting back to reality," Julie said. "I've kind of gotten used to roughing it," Julie added.
"Oh yea Julie? You liked...roughing it?" Portman asked.
"Dean...," she said.
"Oh yea sorry gentleman, right, I forgot," Portman said.
Fulton raised an eyebrow. "Portman? Are you like...whooped?" Fulton asked messing around with Portman.
"No...I'm a man! A damned good one too," Portman said.
"You're an animal that needs to be trained," Julie said. Portman raised a hand.
"Julie, not now...the men are speaking," Portman said.
"Ooh...," some of them said in the background. Julie stood up, and put her hands on her waist.
"You are no man Portman. You are a boy, a boy who needs to insult, burp, fart, and be loud because you need attention. You don't get enough attention for something else you lack," she said pointing her eyes towards his bottom area. The others stayed quiet.
"Um does this mean you guys are gonna kiss again?" Adam asked.
"No," Portman and Julie said at the same time, then glaring at each other.
"Good, because I'm not gay," Adam said. Everyone turned their attention to him, with raised eyebrows, and scrunched faces.
"Adam. What the hell are you talking about? No one thinks you're gay," Charlie said.
"Oh ok. Just making sure we're all on the same page here. I mean just because I put mousse in my hair, doesn't mean I'm gay. Hell Luis puts more mousse than I do, and hairspray too," Adam said.
Luis stood up this time. "Don't pull me into youre 'coming out' moment," Luis said.
"No one cares!" Portman interrupted. "You can be flaming transvestite! No...one...cares!" Portman said.
Fulton shuddered at the thought of Adam being a he/she.
"See that's what I'm talking about. You're so insensitive," Julie said.
"You want me to be sensitive? You want me to cry? Look I'm not gay," Portman said.
Adam looked up suddenly, and wiped some tears.
"Is this all you guys are going to do while we're out here?" Ken asked out of nowhere. Everyone else looked at each other. "We finally find each other. Find our friends, and you all want to waste time fighting,"
Very guilty, they all felt. "I'm sorry," Portman said lowering his voice.
"The government's behind this," Averman said very randomly.
"Shutup, no it's not," Jesse said.
"Then you're right, it's the LAPD," Averman said changing his mind.
"Averman where do you get this crap from?" Goldberg asked.
"Well, someone has to be behind this whole our getting lost predicament. It's obvious. The map was purposely written to confuse us, and who knows, the only thing on there that's right could be that damn river. We're split up, and then left unprepared in the middle of nowhere...no, I think I was right the first time, it's the government," Averman finished.
Silence.
"Maybe it was Coach Orion," Luis said his eyes widening as well as everyone elses. "He took a lot of our stuff out of our bags before we left," he added.
"I remember. He did," Jesse confirmed.
"Why would Coach Orion do this?" Connie asked.
They all sat in a circle to speculate who planned this, and why.
