A/N: Finally got around to updating! I've just had ideas for a lot of other stories. This story seems sort of boring, but I promise it will get better. After all, all sorts of things wash up on shores after storms.

Thanks to kb5000 and juliannarox for your support. Enjoy the chapter!


Klaus was trying to avoid Fiona for the past few days, but he was failing miserably. He wasn't sure if it was his fault or hers. Everywhere he tried to go, Fiona would somehow manage to be there with him. It got quite awkward at times.

"Erm...Fiona, I didn't realize you were coming with me again."

"Well, I was bored. I needed something to do."

"Right...well...Uhm...I came out here to use the bathroom."

"Mm, yeah..."

"Can I...uh...have a minute?"

"Oh, right! Sorry."

Violet could see how agitated her brother was getting. He hardly had a minute to himself anymore with Fiona tagging along everywhere. She was trying to create tasks for Fiona to do to give Klaus some space, but she always managed to get out of it or do it quickly and returned right back to Klaus. Frankly, Violet didn't like how much time she was spending with Klaus either. She was years older than him.

One day, Fiona was being especially obnoxious, and Violet had just about had enough. Klaus was supposed to be getting firewood, and Fiona, of course, was tagging along.

"Fiona," sighed Violet, "do you really have to go with Klaus now? I could use your help with planting the apple trees."

"You have Sunny to help you!" said Fiona. "I'm sure Klaus can use some help with his wood!" She jogged after Klaus before Violet had a chance to reply. Violet facepalmed and turned to Sunny.

"Well, it's just you and me and Bea."

Meanwhile, Klaus was going about his task diligently when he heard an unfortunate familiar voice.

"Hey, Klaus," giggled Fiona. "Can I help you?"

"Uh, I guess," replied Klaus. "Just look for good pieces of wood on the ground. I don't want to get firewood by chopping down trees, so just look for dead branches."

Klaus tried to inch himself away from Fiona while doing his work. He scooched himself in the direction of the dense trees, which happened to be the opposite direction from where Fiona was searching. Klaus had a moment of peace before he was discovered again. Fiona walked up to him and put a stack of branches she had collected next to Klaus.

"Why are you trying to get away from me, Klaus?" asked Fiona, coming uncomfortably close.

Klaus took a step back. "What?! No, I-I'm not. What makes you think that?"

Fiona heaved a sigh, making up for the space Klaus just created. "See? You just did that again. When will you be ready to finally forgive me?"

"I...don't know," admitted Klaus, backing up until he found a tree to lean back on. He slumped down slightly. Fiona came and sat next to him.

Klaus thought she was going to tell him it was okay. Instead she said, "Can I help you decide faster?" Klaus looked at her funny.

"I-uh..." Klaus was interrupted by Fiona leaning over and kissing him full on, pinning him against the tree.

A gazillion thoughts went through Klaus' head. First he was in shock. '...' thought Klaus. Then he wondered if he liked this or not. 'I mean, I did fall in love with her,' thought Klaus, 'but then she had to go and break my heart...' Then the realization of what really happening dawned on Klaus, and he started to freak out, flailing his limbs wildly. He accidentally hit Fiona in the face a few times, but she was not deterred and remained in epic lip-lock. He then tried to push Fiona away, but she was unfortunately older, therefore bigger, and therefore stronger than Klaus. She finally broke away from him when someone stumbled into the clearing.

"Hey, Klaueeeeeeew!" screeched Violet. Klaus fell onto his side, gasping for air. He also turned red, just like Fiona was.

"Klaus!" yelled Violet, "I come here to try to help you get wood and I see you making out with Fiona?!"

Klaus was speechless for once. He sat up, shifting away from Fiona slightly, and grabbed his firewood. He ran back to the tree, not wanting to be around anyone. Violet gave Fiona a small glare. Fiona was just staring at the spot where Klaus had disappeared. Violet turned and followed the path Klaus had taken back to the tree. When she arrived, there was a pile of familiar firewood scattered on the floor haphazardly, but there was no Klaus.

Klaus had thrown his firewood inside the tree and run off to the beach on the opposite side of the island. He needed time to think, and he really didn't want to run into Fiona. He sat on the edge of a rock and threw his legs over the side, letting out a long sigh. What had just happened? Klaus had no idea. Why did Fiona just kiss him? What had he done that had made her do that? He felt sort of mad at himself. He should have done something to protest more. She had broken his heart, and he should never forgive her for that. But, he had to admit, he sort of enjoyed it. And he hated himself for feeling that way. When she left him, it hurt. He wanted to curl up in a ball the first time Fiona had kissed him, but he knew he had to keep moving for his sisters' sake. He had told himself he'd never let a girl do something like that to him ever again. It got too much under his skin. He hadn't told his sisters, but it had kept him awake night after night. And now what? Klaus felt his resolve crumbling.

He scowled at the rock he was sitting on. A raindrop fell on the spot he was staring at. He sighed. It was going to start pouring. That meant the group of five would be huddling in their tree. He would have to be with Fiona again, and that would be unbelievably awkward. Klaus gave another long sigh and trudged back to the other side of the island.
