"Good Day, Children! Who is the head of your island? We have a cruise ship full of tourist and they are getting a little antsy."
We all just stared, amazed, This was the first time in 5 years that we have seen any other person besides each other. Pepper was the first to come out of silence.
"What the hell took ya'll so long, huh! We have been stranded on this damn hell of an island for ever!"
"Um, Pepper, honey? It's five years." Oxnard corrected
"Whatever, he gets my point! We want off!"
"Oh my, survivors! What a day. I will certainly get a raise for this, yes, children, please. Tell me your names." The captain commanded
"I am Bijou; this is Hamtaro, Stan, Pashmina, Penelope, Cappy, Boss, Panda, Pepper, Oxnard, Maxwell and Sandy." Bijou told him.
"Well," He took my hand and shook it, "It is an honor to meet you all. Is there anyone else on the island?"
"No," I answered, "It's just us."
"My, my, my. You can only be 15 years old." He responded in amazement
"Well, Penelope, Cappy, Stan, and I are 15, all the rest are 16 except Boss who is 17." I explained
"This is amazing! And you survived all by your selves?"
"Yes sir. Now would you be so kind as to get us off thing god forsaken island now!" Pepper yelled
"Yes, yes. Of course. Follow my children."
We followed the captain to the ship. We stood there on deck waiting for him to get back. People from all over the ship were staring at us.
"I don't like all of those people looking at us. What do they want?" Penelope asked Pashmina, whispering.
"I don't know, maybe it's the way we are dressed." She whispered back
"Will we be able to get our stuff from off the island?" I asked Maxwell
He held my hand, "I'm not sure, but we probably will. Maybe we will get to have more once we get back to the US."
"Oh." I looked at the ground. About 5 minutes later, the captain came back with a phone.
"Yes, yes. I am sure⦠Why would I be making this up?... NO! I most certainly am NOT on drugs! Ok, just look up any ships that crashed or something 5 years ago, ok? That's how long they say that they have been on the island." He hung up the phone and smiled at us. "My men will show you the way to your rooms. We have the best for you all. Each of you will get your own rooms."
"Can we get our things? They mean a lot to us. It's all we have." Maxwell explained to him.
"Of course. My men will go with you and help."
I smiled at him and we raced off the ship to our soon to be old home.
