Okay, so I'm just going to publish this because even though I don't actually have five reviews (I have four), I think that I'll let it go this time. :( I did want the five reviews, though. But anyway, enjoy!


~Misty's POV~

SPLASH! The cold impact from the water wakes me up in a blink; water always does that. Instinctively, I start to tread water, which is probably a really good thing. The last thing I remember is Dawn shrieking about holding hands...But why?

Oh, yeah.

Now I remember. Hum, how'd I forget that? Anyway-Ash! Where is he? I look around frantically. Ash, please be okay! All around me, I see blue. The sky is a light blue with fluffy white clouds that taunt me with their innocence while Ash is lost somewhere, maybe even drowning. AUGH! This is not helping whatsoever!

The ocean seems to stretch out forever, and it's a beautiful color, reflecting greens and dark blues. But really, it's just distracting right now, I-

ASH! There he is! It has to be him! I paddle over, and as I near him, I can see that I'm correct. By some stroke of luck, he landed flat on his back, which, though will probably hurt like heck later, is keeping him afloat and alive.

"Ash, wake up!" I grab his shoulders, and lift one of his arms around my shoulders, starting to kick as if doing backstroke. I try to remember my classes about rescuing an unconscious person. I think I'm doing everything right.

"Ow!" Suddenly, my head crashes into something hard, and I glare backwards. Then my glare turns into a grin; I hit my head on an upturned table! That has to be the best luck I've ever had! Ya know, except for finding Ash and all.

I hoist Ash onto the table and clamber on myself. Somehow, this amazing piece of wood has just saved both my and Ash's lives! But now, I have to figure out what to do next...


~Dawn's POV~

"Wake up, Dawn! Wake up," a voice is telling me, and I force my eyes open. All I see is light blue...hey, that's the sky. Okay, that's a good start. Then I see a patch of green. Light green that looks very familiar.

"Hello? Dawn? Can you remember anything?" the voice asks again, and I tilt my head towards the person. Drew!

"Drew!" I exclaim my thought.

He smirks. "Guess you do." I sit up more and realize that we're sitting on a trunk of some sort. And I'm sitting upright...so where was my head? Realization strikes, and I almost gasp. Drew sees the look on my face and barks, "Freeze!"

I do, heart racing, and he sighs, his face a little pink. "If you move, you'll knock us both off. And yes, your head was on my shoulder. How else was I supposed keep you alive?"

I sigh; "Good point." But where's Paul? And Ash, and May, and Misty?...Why did I think of them in that order? I guess thinking about Ash first would make sense; I know him best. But...Paul? I'm thinking of Paul first? Why?

I don't know why, but I do know my face is getting warm and Drew is looking at me funny.


~Ash's POV~

What the heck is going on? My eyes are shut, I'm lying on something soft but warm, and everything smells salty. I force my eyes open, but instantly shut them; it's way too bright.

"Ash? Are you awake?" I hear. Shading my eyes, I open them again, and see Misty.

"Mist!" Suddenly, she's hugging me tight, her face nestled close to mine. My face heats up, and I have to grin.

"I'm so glad you're alright!"

"Me too. Er, about you, not me. I mean, I'm glad for me too, but...ah, where are we?" Wow, that was a fail. Well, don't blame me; it was confusing!

"I don't know. After the Gyarados Hyper Beamed the ship, I saw it explode. When I hit the water, I woke up, and found you. And then I found a table and I used it to get us here - I think we're on an uninhabitated island," she says quickly.

"Uninhabited? But-wait, what about the others?" May and Dawn and Drew and Paul are still out there somewhere!

"I know. I just had to save you first. We'll look for them, I promise. And we'll find them," she tells me.

"I hope they're okay."


~Paul's POV~

Stuck on a boat that explodes. Magnificent. What a waste of time. I woke up about three minutes ago with my head and chest atop a large piece of wood, and my lower half freezing, and in the water. What it was, I don't know and I don't care. It's just a flat piece of wood, probably an old table or something.

The girl from before, the coordinator, is on it too. When I woke up, she was laying on it in front of me. My guess is, she found this...thing, and then me. Judging by the sun's position, I'd say it's been about...maybe three hours since the ship blew up.

What's her name again? I don't suppose it would be very appropriate to call her The Girl Who Saved My Life After I Saved Hers Twice, even if its just in my head. May, I think it is. Yes, May.

I think that May saved me and fell asleep from all the...excitement wouldn't be the right word. From all the commotion. As long as she's alive.

Everything I can see is blue. Blue skies, blue waters. And the dark blue hair of a certain troublesome girl I know-

Where did that come from? I swear, this seawater is messing with my mind.


Voilà! Seriously though, if you all think someone else is going to review, then no one will. And everybody loses. So be nice to yourself, fellow readers, and me by reviewing please! Many thanks to those who did!

Thank you list:

1. Meliaantiqua- Thank you for the review! I have never watched Lost, so it's not based on that. I'm going to keep the second answer to myself. :)
2. reppad98- Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like it! Yes, that's my intention. I think that two of those are showing strong hints in this chapter (I think so, at least. Well, you can probably I'm adding some NeverMetFriendShipping. (NeverMetShipping is between two people that are assumed to fit well even though they've never met. An example is BelleShipping, for Drew x Dawn. But I added the Friend part.)
3. xToxicWaste- Thanks so much for being my first reviewer! It was a great booster!
4. Geneviève- Thanks! You were what basically made me post this!
5. DapieisTasty, LuvDawn, Meliaantiqua,XxCherriesandChocolatexX, and reppad98 for putting this on your story alert list!
