This is not the continuation of the first chapter, but a totally different one. They are not connected, except that the first on ewas drunk Kate and this one is drunk Jack. I repeat, the chapters are not connected!

Well, this is my first one with drunken Jack...

It´s late. The survivors have just had a party on the beach: there was food, music, dancing...And alcohol. Lots of alcohol. Now, most of the group had already gone to their tents; well, to be precise, the ones that could still stay on their feet. Jack was among the ones that couldn´t.

He is lying on the beach around the fire, in company with Sayid (who is the only one still sober), Charlie (who is playing his guitar and singing ˝Yellow submarine˝ as loud as he could) and some other guy whose name he couldn´t remember right now. Sawyer has left them half an hour ago, complaining on headaches again.

Jack drunkenly: Like I was saying, she´s totally hot! ...I mean, the hottest you can think of! You know what I mean?

Sayid smiling: Yeah, Jack, we know. Kate´s hot. We understood it after the first 7 times you said it.

Jack: Okay, okay… But she is…

Sayid, Charlie& The Unknown at the same time: HOT!

Jack: That´s right! hiccup

Charlie: Come on, guys! Sing with me! He starts singing. ˝Yellow submarine…Yellow submarine…Yellow sub…˝ He stops. You know, I don´t have bloody idea what´s with that obsession with submarines!

Jack: Yeah, me too. I… hiccup I think we need…hiccup some new song. How about… He leans forward and whispers something in Charlie´s ear. Charlie giggles drunkenly.

Charlie: Ooookay, Jack. You ready? He starts playing.

Jack singing: I need some hot stuff baby this evening…I want some sot htuff baby tonight, I…

Sawyer from his tent: Oh, for Christ´s sake! He puts his T-shirt on his ears to not hear it.

Jack: Hot stuff…

Sayid grinning: Speaking about hot…Jack, your ´Hot´ is coming.

Jack turns around, seeing Kate approaching, followed by Claire. He grins at her foolishly.

Kate amused: I didn´t know you´re such a good singer, Jack!

Jack: I ain´t… Pointing at the bottle of whisky…He is.

Kate taking the bottle away from him: Come on, Jack.

Jack: Hey, don´t take… Burt away from me.

Kate puzzled: Burt?

Jack offended: What, you never named your alcohol?

Kate mocking: Uhm…no.

Jack: Well, you should.

Kate trying to lift him up: Come on, Jack, let´s go to bed.

Jack looking at her: Should I hiccup…understand it as an hiccup invitation?

Kate grinning: You´re unbelievable, you know that?

Jack getting up: That wasn´t a denial…

Kate smiles. Se finally manages to get him to his feet.

Jack realizing that the rest of the group is still there: Wait, why is…why is…why is Charlie still here? hiccup…Why…why can he stay and…I hiccup can´t.

Kate turns and sees Claire bending to help Charlie stand up.

Kate: Don´t worry. I don´t think Charlie would be here for much longer. Isn´t that right, Claire? She looks at her, smiling. Claire returns her the smile.

Claire: Oh, yeah, Jack. Don´t worry. Charlie is going to bed straight away.

Charlie protesting: But…

Claire firmly: Now!

Charlie: Oh, okay.

He gets up and heads towards his tent, with Claire´s help. Jack and Kate also start moving slowly.

Jack stopping: hiccup Did I ever tell you… how…how beautiful you are?

Kate blushing slightly: No, Jack, you didn´t.

Jack: Well, I should have.

They continue walking in silence for a while. Then, right when they are passing next to Sawyer´s tent, Jack starts singing with all his voice

Jack: You´re beautiful…You´re beautifuuuuuul…

Sawyer irritated: Damn it, Freckles! Can´t you make him shut up?

Kate trying her best not to burst out laughing: I´m trying, Sawyer.

Sawyer: Well, try again!

Jack: You´re beautiful…Beautifuuuuuul… He stops, confused. I hiccup I…don´t think I know the rest of the lyrics… He thinks for a minute about it; then… Well, who cares! You´re beautiful! You´re beautiful…

Sawyer: Why don´t you just go caught yourselves in the net or something already!

Kate: SAWYER!

Sawyer: What! If that will make him shut his mouth up…

Kate speaking to Jack quietly: Ignore him.

They finally arrive in front of Jack´s tent.

Jack leaning towards Kate to whisper something to her: You know… I was thinking…hiccup That idea of Sawyer…isn´t that bad after all.

Kate: Jack!

Jack innocently: What!

Kate: Nothing. Come on, go inside.

Jack pretending hurt: I don´t get even a kiss?

Kate smiles, amused by his behavior. It is the side of Jack she didn´t see before. They enter the tent and she helps him get on the bed.

Kate leaning above him: If that will make you get some sleep… She leans closer and gives him one deep kiss. Jack stays speechless. Kate smiles at the look on his faces and gets up.… Sweet dreams, Jack.

She leaves.

Few minutes after…Jack finally brought himself back from shock.

Jack yelling: Guys, you know what? SHE KISSED ME!

The rest of the camp: GO TO SLEEP!
