Whenever someone asked Elli where the doctor was, she wouldn't respond, so they gave up on getting an answer. They asked who the young boy was. Elli also didn't answer for that question. She was very busy at the broken down clinic dealing with Cliff and Ghai, while others helped to fix it up. Cliff and Ghai hadn't been awake for about two days. Elli didn't know why.
Kai still hadn't left the beach. He had food at his restaurant and apparently wanted to ensure Cliff's death. Harris and Thomas tried to get him to leave, but he refused. The brunette that he had rescued had not been awake for two days also. He didn't want to leave until she was at least a bit conscious. He was afraid that if she didn't wake up soon, she'd starve! At least Elli had a way of feeding Ghai and Cliff through tubes connected to their veins or something. He also had no clue how to wake the poor little one up. At least she was still breathing. "Whatever." Kai thought.
On the second day, Ann went to see Kai, without Jack's knowledge. He thought she was out picking grass again. Ann sprinted to Rose Square then, at the east exit, ran into Thomas and Harris.
"Hello Ann." Harris greeted. "How is life at the Inn?" Ann shook her head in disbelief. They had no idea what was going on. They didn't know that the Inn had been abandoned or where Ann had been for the last three seasons. They also didn't know that Doug had disappeared.
"Fine and dandy." She replied with a fake smile. "May I get through?"
"Oh no. Kai is in there." Thomas replied. "He might hurt you."
"Please. I'll be fine." Ann reassured the amusing men. They looked at each other, sighed, and then made way for her to get through. "Thank you." Ann muttered as she started to walk. She lightly stepped between the men and down the stairs. She took off her sandals to feel the sand squish in through her toes. She hadn't seen the ocean for almost a whole year. She walked up to it and dipped her toes in. She gave in to temptation and unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing. She slipped off her pants also, left just in her white bra and underwear. The set her shoes, pants and shirt on the sand where it was dry and dove into the water.
Kai noticed that someone was swimming in the ocean. The child was still sleeping. He finished off his sandwich and walked out of the restaurant. He saw wet glistening red hair. "Ann." He smiled and ran off into the water, stripping off his shirt on the way. The dove into the water after Ann. When he was underwater he opened his eyes to see Ann in only her undergarments. "My kind of' chick!" He thought. He surfaced quickly after that and snuck up behind Ann.
"Hey Ann." He greeted from behind.
"What!" Ann, shocked, inhaled loads of water and started hacking. Once her cough attack was done, she resumed talking. "Kai?" She asked as she turned around.
"The one and only." Kai responded, proudly swimming abnormally close to Ann.
"Uh, hi." She said. "Can I help you?" Initially, Ann had come to talk to Kai but, now she wasn't so sure.
"Yah babe." Kai slyly said, raising an eyebrow. He was slowly inching closer to Ann. She became uneasy.
"And." She quivered. "What might that be?" Kai shrugged.
"Well, seeing as how Popuri hates me…and the rest of the girls in this dang town want me to die, you want to hook up?" Kai awaited Ann's answer. Ann was shocked. She coughed up more water.
"Uh, um." She coughed again. "I don't think so…" It was Kai's turn to be shocked.
"Why not!" He asked sternly. "You came to see me!"
"No. I didn't come to see you." Ann confirmed. "I came to swim, then talk to you." Kai seemed disappointed.
"Oh." He said, and then he dove under the water and surfaced behind Ann. He pinched her back end then swam off, away from the island. Ann was stupefied. Her eyes enlarged.
"Kai you perverted brat! GET BACK HERE!" She screamed, swimming after him. Kai laughed the whole way and soon slowed down. He kept laughing and swallowing water. He couldn't concentrate on swimming and he went under.
"Gurgle." Kai couldn't breathe (doi) and he couldn't swim back up. He was still laughing and inhaling water, even though he realized his situation. Soon enough, the chuckles became horrified; gurgling screams that Ann could only faintly hear when she had swam over to where she had last seen Kai in the water. She ducked her head under the water and saw him slowly floating to the ocean floor.
"What a freak." The muttered and dove under the water to save the brown haired pervert. Kai was freaking out under the water, struggling to keep his mouth shut. Ann grabbed his arm and pulled him upwards. At least she tried. Kai wasn't helping at all. "Deadweight." Ann kicked harder then accidentally kneed Kai in the skull. "Great." Ann swam with all her might and eventually made it to the surface. Suddenly, she got cramps. "Oh crap. Not now Goddess. Please not now!" Ann painfully swam to the shore, pushing Kai ahead of her.
She pulled the unconscious, brown haired, snotty boy onto the sandy shore and knelt beside him. More cramps.
"Gah." She moaned. Her eyes suddenly grew wide and she stood. She checked the sand where she had been sitting. "Great, blood." Ann kicked the bloody sand into the water. Ann was lucky, she only got her period every about two seasons. She had been late this time she guessed. Ann quickly slipped on her pants. Kai was still lying on the shore unconscious. "Stay there." She ordered. (Like he was going anywhere.)
Ann sprinted to the general store and opened the door. The bell rang, signalling a customer was ready to be served. Karen walked over to her.
"Hi, welcome to the general sto- Ann?" Karen greeted. "Where have you been?" Karen stepped closer to Ann and hugged her. Ann returned the hug then pulled away quickly.
"Please, don't ask." She blushed. Karen shrugged. "Uh." Ann's face turned a darker color than her hair. "I need…" Karen blinked.
"What?" She asked, still confused. Ann rolled her eyes.
"I've got my thing…you know." Karen was still clueless. "I need a pad!" Ann screamed out of frustration.
"Oh! Well why didn't you say so?" Karen calmly asked before turning and entering the back room. Ann was left there blushing with Jeff and Sasha staring at her. She waved lightly. They kept staring. Eventually, when Karen came out of the room she held a pink box. She showed her father, mother, and then walked back to Ann.
"Now, Ann. Do you need me to show you how these things work?" Karen giggled and dangled the soft box in front of Ann's nose.
"Dang you, Karen." Ann jumped and caught the box. "I'm 17. I think I know how to use them." Ann paid for the pads, and then asked to use the restroom. She came out refreshed, holding an opened pad box. "Thanks" She quietly mumbled as she walked out of the room. Ann walked briskly to the farm to put these under the bed while Jack wasn't looking.
Once she reached the farm, Jack immediately spotted her.
"Ann..?" He was confused. "Didn't you go to pick…grass?" Jack walked over, with a hoe in his hand. Ann blushed. "Why did you come from the north? The forest is to the south."
"Well, there was grass where I went." Ann mumbled, trying to hide her private item.
"So your saying, you lied to me?" Jack questioned. Ann looked at her bare feet and shuffled them. Jack looked down. "Where are your shoes?" He noticed her glistening hair. "And why are you all wet?" Then he realized that she didn't have a top on, just her bra. "Where's your shirt! You've been prancing around the town like that?" Jack grabbed Ann's arm, shoved the hoe into his backpack and dragged Ann into the house.
"Jack, it's no biggy, I just went swimming." Ann complained. Jack was digging through a drawer.
"You lied to me." He pulled out a tank top. "Crud. My sister's things got into my luggage before I left, and I didn't notice until now?" Jack shrugged and tossed Ann the top. "I do not appreciate being lied to."
"Sorry." Ann muttered while she put on the brown tank-top. "Thanks" she said, and then she remembered the unconscious Kai by the shore. "Sorry Jack, I really am sorry." Jack smiled.
"Your forgiven…I guess." He replied. Ann smiled brightly.
"Can I go to the beach?" She asked sweetly, bringing her bottom lip forward to form a perfect puppy pout. Jack gave in and nodded his head. "Thanks Jack." She hugged him then sprinted back out the door, leaving the pads on the bed instead of under it. Jack picked up the box inspecting it.
"What the heck is…EW!" He immediately dropped the box and ran out the door.
Once Ann reached the beach, she noticed that Kai was still there.
"How to wake you…" Ann thought. "I can't just leave you here…" Ann bent down to Kai's level and put her ear up to his chest. "Breathing…harsh…but still there." Ann continued to listen, then satisfied that he would wake on his own, decided to splash around in the water. She dragged her feet under the shallow water and looked at the sky. She heard Kai gasp, wheeze and sputter suddenly. Ann turned and saw that Kai's chest wasn't moving. She ran back over to him and listened to his breathing. "Nothing!" She shrieked. She started panicking and in her haste got an idea. "Cliff, Jack…forgive me." Ann bent down and put her lips onto Kai's. She breathed air into his lungs until she saw his chest expand. She broke away then pressed on his chest five times. "I hope this is right." She whispered to herself. "I can barely remember the first-aid training in grade six." She pressed her lips against his. She pulled away after inserting more air and prayed. She closed her eyes and hoped.
Kai's chest had started to move on its own again and he had regained consciousness, not like Ann noticed. Kai silently spit out water and sat in front of Ann. She had closed her eyes and was sitting there. Kai's face leaned closer to Ann's and he kissed her lightly on the lips. Ann's eyes opened in shock. "What did he just do?"
