This is in response to Challenge #14 at Challenge Central. The challenge was to 1. Make it slash between Roger and Mark and 2. Somehow incorporate water. NOW ON WITH THE STORY!
"If you were stuck on a desert island, what would you bring?" Mimi asked suddenly.
"What?" the six other bohemians asked at the same time.
"If you were stuck on a desert island, what would you bring? Oh, and you can't bring something to get you off the island." Mimi repeated, "I'd bring a 'How to Survive on a Desert Island for Dummies' book."
Everyone laughed.
"Me next!" Angel insisted, "I would bring a trailer, complete with clothes and make up and everything! Then I could look pretty for whatever sailor comes to rescue me."
"Then I'd make sure it was me," Collins said with a smile, "Well, now it's my turn. I'd bring Captain Crunch. The breakfast cereal of geniuses!"
"Then we should be smarter than Einstein!" Maureen said, "Hm, I think I'd bring a cow."
Everyone gave Maureen a skeptical look.
"A…a cow?" Joanne asked.
Maureen nodded. "Yes, a cow. And I'm not saying why."
With that she crossed her arms over her chest and glared at her six friends threateningly.
"Um, alright, I guess it's my turn," Joanne said, "I'd bring food and water."
Everyone groaned.
"Oh Pookie, that's so boring!" Maureen complained.
"So?" Joanne asked, "It's what I'd bring."
"Well I'd bring my guitar," Roger said, "It'd keep me from being bored and if worst comes to worst I could always burn it. What about you Mark?"
"Roger," Mark said, gazing thoughtfully into space, "I'd bring Roger."
Everyone looked at him suspiciously. "And why's that?" Maureen asked.
Mark smiled, envisioning himself and Roger snuggling together on the beach of a deserted, tropical island with glittering waves sloshing onto the sand and the stars shining down brightly on them- his perfect idea of romantic.
Mark grinned wider. "Easy," he said, "He'd keep me company until I got fed up with him and turned cannibalistic."
It wasn't the truth, but it was good enough for now.
