"JIN!"
We both look at each other urgently and rise from our seats, quickly running to the populated part of the beach. When we arrive both Shannon and Sayid come running from the jungle, with Vincent following.
It was Sun. Jin, Michael and Sawyer came back. And with them…
"Uh, Jack?" Kate whispers, "who are these people?"
"Your guess is as good as mine…" I answer shaking my head.
Sun throws herself at Jin's neck, hugging him tightly.
"Sawyer…" Kate leaves my side rushing to him, "are you ok?" she asks stroking his bruised face.
I gotta say, a part of me actually died just now.
"Just dandy, Freckles." He grins in respond and she smiles, letting out a relived sigh.
Wait a minute. Is that…?
"Um… hi." I say uncomfortably to the woman in front of me.
Her tough appearance subsides when she sees me and she gives me a half smile.
"Well, I'll be damned…" she says.
"Um… sorry, I forgot you name." I say apologetically.
"Ana Lucia. Jack, right?" she asks smiling and I nod smiling back at her.
Kate turns from Sawyer and looks at us confused.
"Uh, hello? Since you seem to know each other and act like you all everybody are bloody chums way back from high school, mind giving us some information?" Charlie asks impatiently.
"Yeah, Jacko. I'd like to know where you know that men beater so well." Sawyer says annoyed.
"Oh, I know you don't wanna take another beating," she mutters at him, "so you better watch it."
"You got hit by a woman?" Kate asks him smiling with disbelief.
"Hey, Freckles, don't for once think I couldn't have taken her. It's just 'cause I'm such a goddamn gentleman." He answers smiling at her.
"Yes, I'm sure that's the reason…" Shannon answers rolling her eyes.
"Hey Sticks, you wanna piece of me?" he asks cocking his eyebrows.
"Ha! As if!" she answers scoffing.
"Alright!" Locke says stepping forward, "let's all regroup. Jack, who is this young woman?"
"I'm pretty sure I said my name is Ana Lucia. Can't keep up?" she asks.
"I beg your pardon?" he looks at her almost shocked.
"OK, um… Locke, Ana here is also a survivor I assume?" I look at her and she nods, "she was sitting at the back of the plane."
"And you know this, how?" Shannon asks bored.
"Uh, we chatted a little before the flight." I answer.
"Chatted was hardly the term. More like me trying to rudely get information out of you…" she answers smirking and I smile.
So she did notice.
"Oh, how lovely." Kate says sarcastically and ana shoots her a look.
OK. Problems, right here.
Sorry for taking ages to update. I'm getting sick of writing this, 'cause I feel like it's really not how things would turn out if it was on the show... am I making any sense?
