Okay, due to too short of chapters, I am officially combining my thoughts for all four sections into one long chapter.

"What are we going to do?" Effie shouted.

"Calm down, Effie," Lena panicked. "We're going to have to steer this boat ourselves."

"But that's impossible!" Effie cried. "We don't know how to!"

"I do," Lena replied. "I took a class one time. Get over there and grab that rope thingy."

So Lena took charge, by first ridding the ship of the lifeless captain's body. She thought it sad that the captain's family wouldn't get to have a proper burial for him, but she couldn't bear to look at it or smell it.

A few minutes before sunrise, Lena and Effie hit land, the land of Maryland. Effie shouted for joy while Lena looked out at the ocean from the coast. She grabbed her sketchbook and drew herself a light sketch of the sun coming over the distant mountain. Effie startled her from behind as she brought her suitcases onto the deck.

"Lena," Effie sighed, "Can we go home?"

"Yes," Lena replied, "As soon as I finish this sketch, because I want to go home and paint it."

An hour later, Lena and Effie stood at a bus station about 20 minutes of a drive from their house. The roar of the bus came up the street and Lena and Effie were in high-spirits. They boarded the empty bus and sat near the front. A few stops later, they reached the street in which you had to turn to get to their house. They hopped off the large bus and started their walk home.

A few minutes later, Lena lay across her bed, dreaming what could've happened to them if she didn't know how to sail. She fell asleep.

All of a sudden, she was falling into the deep blue sea, the water suffocating her and pressuring her in. Effie's hand appeared from the surface, and Lena reached for it, but fell short, as she fell deeper and deeper into the water.

Lena woke up with a splash. Effie had just poured a cold cup of water on her head.

"Effie!" Lena screeched. "That was cold!"

"You were saying things in your sleep," Effie replied, "I couldn't help it, you scared me."

Lena threw on a new pair of clothes, and for some reason, she longed to have the Pants. But the sisters had agreed that no one would use the Pants for the first month of the summer, while they were all on boat trips. Lena moaned, she needed those Pants for some reason she couldn't fathom. A spark flung in her head. All she had to do was take the Pants from Carmen's house, wear them, then put them back, problem solved.

She drove to Carmen's house, and her mom had let her in. She went to Carmen's room, which was terribly cluttered and Lena was desperate to clean it, but she didn't. A light shone in the corner of the musty, dark, room. She saw the Pants, grabbed them, and exited the house.

At her house, she looked at them in such joy. What if she returns early? Lena thought. Nah, it won't happen. She put the Pants on, and decided she wouldn't wear them just yet.

A BING interrupted her thoughts, she checked her cell phone. There had been one new text message, in which Lena could see it was from Carmen. Just then, she felt guilty for taking the Pants, a feeling that quickly passed. Her text message read:

Der Lna,

Plz hlp, dnt no whr I m. shprckd. Cm sn, u r nly prsn I cn rch.

Crma

Lena's face went dead white. She read the message over and over again, realizing that it said:

Dear Lena,

Please help; I don't know where I am. Shipwrecked. Come soon, you are the only person I can reach.

Carma

Tears streamed down her cheeks, Carmen had gone out on a boat with Krista, which she probably already sacrificed to some god. Lena sobbed until Effie grabbed hold of the phone and read the message.

Effie shook her head, "I guess we're going to have to find her!"

Lena sobbed some more, and they set out to find Carmen and Krista.

The next morning, Bee woke up to the smell of exotic eggs. Her eyes shot open and she saw Kaya cooking yellow circles over the campfire.

"Where did you get those?" Bee laughed. "Are they safe?"

"Of course," Kaya smiled, "Everyone knows that mad cow eggs are perfectly safe!"

"MAD COW?" Bee shouted.

"Just kidding," Kaya laughed, "They're robin eggs."

"Are they good?"

"Heck yeah," Kaya answered, "They beat chicken eggs by a landslide."

Bee took a bite of a fully cooked egg. She managed to chew it a few times and then swallow it. She made a face and said, "That is gross."

"Thank you," Kaya said, "I like it."

"Well I'm going to get my own breakfast!" Bee exclaimed and disappeared into the forest. She came back minutes later, holding a dead fox in her hands, "Hmm," she said, "I wonder if fox tastes good." So she skinned the fox, barely cooked it, and then tore it apart to eat only the meat. The internal organs she threw into the sea and kept the fur to make something of it later. Kaya watched her, giggling, the whole time.

Later on in the day, the two had decided to swim in the broad ocean that stood before them. The waves were crystal blue and the sand beneath the ocean was wet and smooth. Bridget, of course, jumped in first, and found a way to make it more exciting.

"Look over there!" Bridget exclaimed. "There is a swinging rope!" She climbed up a small cliff and grabbed onto a sturdy rope hanging from a tree. "We can use this to swing on and then fall into the water!"

"That is," Kaya objected, "If the water is deep enough."

"Look missy," Bee said, "Just because you've been to college and I haven't doesn't mean I'm not smart, of course I was going to check how deep the water was." She hopped off the cliff and stood in the water. By the time she reached the bottom, her head was under the surface by about 4 feet.

A/N: I'm no lifeguard, so I am just guessing by what is right.

"It's good," Bee announced after popping her head above the surface of the water. She climbed back to the rope-swing and stood gripping it. She leaned back, holding tightly to the rope, and sprung forward. She let go of the rope after going a good 7 feet and landed in deep water. She brought her head up again, smiling. "Take that, princess!"

"Excuse me?" Kaya asked, jokingly. "Are you talking to me?" She laughed.

"I'm not kidding; I'll bet you would never have the courage to swing off that rope like I did!" Bee shouted.

"It depends what we're betting," Kaya said, slyly.

"Two dollars, I mean, I'll get you food in the morning."

"You got a deal." Kaya rose from her wading spot and climbed up the rocky grass hill. She grabbed a hold of the slightly frayed rope, and took a few steps back. She plunged forward, and stopped when she got to the edge. She looked down at all the rocks that lay below her, all the sharp, jagged, hard rocks. She whimpered and went back to her wading spot.

"I'm not doing that!" She exclaimed.

"You have to make me breakfast of my choice in the morning!" Bee gloated. Kaya smirked, and bent her head back to get back to the tan she was working on.

Bee sent a text to Tibby:

Tib, hlp, kya s a ntmare. Sv us, we crshed nd r strndd.

Lv b.

Translation:

Tibby, help, Kaya is a nightmare. Save us, we crashed and are stranded.

Love Bee.

The message went through, except Tibby didn't have her cell phone with her.

Hope you liked it, I had to think of something. And when I was thinking, I realized there had to be an ending to the story, so Lena had to be the one to rescue herself.
