(A/N Hey guys! I'm sorry it's taken me long to update! I really am! But I wanted to say thanks so much to every one who reviewed. I love you all so much! Now here's the chappie!)

Day 30

After an extremely bad nights sleep, Jackson, Taylor and Melissa were sitting around the fire, eating fruit and thinking about how they were going to get the sick people cured and - some thing they hadn't thought about in a while - how they were going to get rescued.

Jackson sighed and put his head in his hands, Melissa bit her already way-too-chewed fingernails, and Taylor cradled her hurt arm. Things were actually pretty awkward, even though every one acted like it was fine, and no one would say any thing about it. They were all extremely stressed, tired of eating the same things over and over again, and they just wanted to go home.

"Hey." Melissa said, looking up. "Taylor, do you remember how we got the beast's spit the first time?"

Taylor looked up, surprised. "No. Why?"

"Well, we didn't actually come in contact with the thing. We just went looking for globs of spit on trees and stuff." Melissa said excitedly.

Taylor started nodding as fast as she could make her head move, catching on. "Oh my gosh, yes! I remember! You know, the beast only died yesterday so-"

"So we could probably get it's spit today!" Melissa said, ignoring the half amused, half scared look she got from Jackson. "We should go right away and see if we can find any thing!"

"But my hurt arm..." Taylor said, showing Melissa her wound. "Plus I've been working really hard. I deserve a break." She said snottily.

"Why don't we go then?" Jackson said, and Taylor scowled.

"Yea, Taylor you can stay here and...watch the others." Melissa smiled, looking at Jackson.

Taylor smiled a smile too sweet to be real. "Ok, you two have fun spit hunting." Then she got up, grabbed a towel that was hanging over a chair nearby, put it out on the sand beside the solar battery charger she had left out (accidentally!) , and laid down on it.

"Taylor, what are you doing?" Melissa asked, as Taylor quickly grabbed a magazine she'd obviously stashed under the plane.

"Doing my job." Taylor smiled, and tapped the battery charger.

Melissa rolled her eyes at Jackson, then grabbed an empty water bottle, and then the two went off in search of the cure for the the mysterious illness all their friends had caught.

Taylor (after she finished her magazine) stood up, stretched, and grabbed a banana. "Does Jackson like Melissa now?" She asked aloud. "If he does, I know I did the right thing. Stepping aside, and letting Melissa have him. Wait...what am I talking about? Since when do I put other peoples feelings in front of my own." She scratched her nose. It felt really itchy, and like there was a big bump. She just shrugged, thinking it was probably a bug bite, or some thing else. What ever it was, she was used to it.

Taylor sighed and sat down. "Great, now I'm talking to myself. I really am going insane!"

Suddenly, she felt really dizzy, and was seeing stars around her head. The next thing she knew, she was falling back wards and blacking out.

Melissa and Jackson had been looking in and on every tree and bush they could see, but then didn't see any thing. No spit, no tracks...nothing, no evidence that the beast had been there at all.

They were almost ready to go back when Melissa shouted "Hey Jackson, come here!"

Jackson went running over from a tall coconut tree to the little shrub Melissa was pointing at. "What?" He asked.

"Look!" Melissa pointed again, a huge smile on her face. The same, gloopey, gross looking spit was all over it. "Perfect, isn't it! Depending how much we use, it looks like enough for...I don't know, four people?"

Jackson smiled, and Melissa opened the water bottle, and started scooping the spit into it with her fingers. "Ew, this is so gross", she said, gagging.

"Here, I'll do it." Jackson said, grabbing the water bottle from her. And then he smiled at her. Melissa wanted to swoon, but she was able to restrain herself. She loved every thing about him. His eyes, his smile, his hair... Ok, now she was staring.

Melissa mentally slapped herself, and looked away, blushing furiously, but Jackson was too busy scooping spit to notice.

When he was done, he handed the bottle to Melissa, who grabbed it, and then bravely grabbed his hand, and they followed their footsteps back to camp.

"We're back!" Melissa called out when they got to camp, letting go of Jackson's hand.

"Taylor?" Jackson called out. She wasn't on her towel, or any where they could see.

"Maybe she's in the plane." Melissa suggested, walking over to check.

"Or the tent." Jackson said, walking the opposite way to look for her.

But when Melissa checked the plane Taylor still wasn't there. "Hmm..." She said to herself. "I might as well cure my friends. Taylor's probably on the beach or some thing." When she realized she was talking to herself, she went red, even though the only people around her weren't conscious.

Melissa took the spit out of the water bottle and happily smeared in on her friends faces. It was kind of gross, but she figured they wouldn't mind if it meant they would be cured.

When she was done, Melissa stepped out of the plane, and on a big wad of curly blonde hair. Wait - curly blonde hair? She looked down and screamed. Taylor was lying in the sand, hidden behind a big chair (obviously the reason Melissa and Jackson couldn't see her before). She had fainted, no doubt, and had large, pink spots all over her face, and her arms and hands were covered in them too.

Melissa screamed again. "JACKSON!"

(A/N Muahahahaha I'm so evil! I'm sorry, I bet you all hate me. Lol, I wasn't going to make Taylor sick, but then I was like...hm...where's the fun in that? Plus, she's kind of been the main character of this story, and I didn't really mean for that to happen, so I'm making up for it now. Any ways, please review, I'm almost at the one hundred mark, yay! If I hit one hundred for this story you guys have no idea how happy I'll be, mostly because this was just some random idea I had one day when watching Flight 29 Down. Lol. Any ways, enough babbling. I'll try to update fasted next time, I promise! Thanks guys!)
