A/N: I'm adding another chapter to this story because I just thought of a really strange idea, so here's the summary. What if Hurley found a solution to Charlie's no swimming problem. Hurley discovers a long lost pair of blow-up water wings and gives them to Charlie. Read and Review!
One very hot day on the beach, Hurley and Charlie were talking. Their discussion danced around their lives back home and the insufferable heat wave that had ripped through the island.
A little farther off in the water was Claire with baby Aaron splashing in the clear ocean. Kate and Sawyer were swimming in the deeper water, splashing each other and laughing. While Jin was fishing in the distance and Sayid had also cooled down.
"Dude, I think I'm melting into the sand." Hurley said as sweat dripped down his forehead, "I can't take this any longer; I need to go for a swim. You wanna come?"
Charlie was just about to protest when Hurley remembered, "Oh yeah, that's right. You don't swim."
"Yeah," Charlie groaned, "I'm about as good in the water as Sawyer is at golf."
Everyone on the island knew that Sawyer sucked at golf. One day, Jack and Sawyer had played each other and Sawyer ended up taking eighteen shots for one hole. Then he bent one of the clubs out of anger.
"Well, that's too bad. Maybe I can help you." Hurley offered.
"Right. Do you know how many people have said that to me?"
"That doesn't matter, if I say I can teach you, then I'll teach, okay man?" Hurley smiled. He hurried off down the beach, "I'll have a solution to your problem by tomorrow!" He called back.
Hurley knew exactly where he was going when he left Charlie; he was going to Sawyer's tent. There was always a solution there; it was like a gold mine. Hurley hoped that Sawyer would be too distracted to notice him rummaging through his stuff.
He sneakily entered the makeshift tent made from blue tarp and bamboo. It was dim inside, but right away Hurley saw a pile of odd stuff in the corner. He sifted through it, looking for something useful. Playboy, sunscreen, Bad Twin, a tie? a bag if peanuts, some sunglasses, water wings, hair brush. Wait, Hurley got a mischievous grin on his face, water wings would be perfect!
Hurley grabbed them and quickly left the lion's den. He looked more closely at the deflated water wings. On them were repeating patterns of Snoopy printed on the cheap plastic. Hurley only hoped Charlie would where them.
Hurley returned to where Charlie was sitting in the sand, he hid the wings behind his back and approached the other man, "Yo Charlie!"
"What, back already?" He replied.
"Yep, I got it all sorted out. You can swim now with these, tah dah!" Hurley pulled the water wings out from behind his back and held them up.
Charlie stared at them, his eyebrows crinkled as he looked at Hurley, "You're joking." He said flatly.
"No you see, it says ages 3 and up." Hurley spoke, trying to keep a straight face.
"Uh huh, well Hurley I really think you found a spectacular solution." Charlie laughed, "Snoopy water wings, my favorite kind." Charlie took them as Hurley bent down laughing and gasping for breath.
"Hey, that's my stuff! You took my water wings!" Sawyer yelled as he saw them on the beach. He ran out of the water, coming toward them.
"Oh shit!" Charlie cursed as Sawyer came at them with an angry expression on his face.
"You'd better give them back or you'll have them stuck up you're ass Charlie!" Sawyer threatened.
Charlie was out of there, he ran down the beach for his life with the wet Sawyer on his tail. "They're water wings for Christ's sake." Charlie yelled as he fled Sawyer.
"Damn it! Give them back!"
But as Charlie heard the screaming threats of Sawyer he also realized that he was heading for the water and unable to turn back. Charlie slipped the water wings on and splashed into the water. Sawyer followed right in. One good thing, Charlie wasn't sinking but Sawyer had grabbed onto Charlie's shirt.
"Holy shit man!" Charlie yelled and splashed, trying to get away. He coughed as water entered his mouth.
By now, most of the beach had run over to see what all the commotion was about. Hurley explained to them what had happened and they looked in befuddlement at the screaming, cursing men struggling in the water, one with Snoopy water wings on.
Finally, Charlie made it out onto the beach and ripped the water wings off. He threw them at Sawyer.
"Here take them, just get the hell away from me!" He panted as he had a fearful and disturbed appearance.
"Finally, thank you." Sawyer also collapsed onto the beach, breathing heavily.
The two guys laid on the sand, soaked as Kate came up to them.
"Looks like we got a bunch of five-year-olds here." Kate remarked.
"He's the one who started it," Sawyer protested, "He took my water wings!"
"Did not, it was Hurley!" Charlie whined.
