Authors note~ Thanks for reading this far. The story is going to start branching off some now so be prepared, mostly because I'm tired of playing the movie while writing. The whole migraine thing comes from personal experience so it's all true. Please review, it makes me feel loved!

Disclaimer~ I no own.

Emily cringed, waiting for the pain, but it never came. Johns was looking off in the distance, gun still pointed at her. He shivered, he was being watched, and it wasn't by Santa. He lowered his gun.

"The second that thing starts to act funny it's gone." He warned sternly. He put the gun back in its holster and walked by. Emily blew a raspberry at him before flicking him off. She learned later that Shelby and Taylor had been doing similar.

Before Johns could get to far however Paris appeared, leaning on an ancient weapon. Panting he said, "I think you all should see this".

It was amazing really, that this place could have three suns, and it also meant no night, which meant trouble sleeping. The trio groaned, Kiba unbothered by it all.

"Three suns?" Jack exclaimed, this was followed by a "bloody hell" from Shazza. The others mumbled about nighttime and cocktails. Imam on the other hand had other ideas.

"We take this as a good sign. Blue sun, blue water", he smiled.

"Ever wonder why I'm an atheist?" Zeke said, walking off to do work.

"Bit of a bad sign, that Riddick's direction," Johns said, walking from the ship.

"I thought you said you found his restraints over there, towards sunset," Fry said, her voice low.

"Right, means he went towards sunrise." He walked over to Zeke, instructing him and then leaving with a witty comment directed at Paris.

For the first time the survivors began to explore. Shelby, Emily, and Taylor went with the others in search of water. Well, they led them more like it, for they were up front. The younger Pilgrims were curios about Kiba and his size. The youngest even went so far as to pet him before jumping back in a fit of laughter. Kiba seemed to sigh and from then on stayed close to Emily in hopes of protection.

Imam was singing something in Arabic that no one really understood except for the boys, excluding jack. Twice now Johns had stopped them because he thought he had heard something and it was really getting on Shelby's nerves who kept muttering swear words under her breath at him, this only made Emily and Taylor laugh.

While Johns looked for Riddick, Fry came down from a hill and stopped among the group who had been taking a short break. Kiba now lay curled near Emily's feet where the boys wouldn't bother him.

"Well, it seems like we spotted some trees," she said with a grin. Everyone stood, expecting the cool refreshment of water. Emily scratched Kiba behind the ears. Shelby groaned. "My feet hurt."

"Mine too," Taylor agreed. Emily rolled her eyes. Suddenly Kiba howled. A sound that never failed to send shivers down every ones spine.

"What is it Kiba?" she asked him, her head low. He shot off in the direction of the 'trees'. Emily ran after, Shelby and Taylor followed, and so did the rest of the group.

It was the girls that reached it first; the graveyard of gigantic skeletons that spanned for miles.

"Dinosaurs!" Shelby shouted, her voice bouncing off the bones and echoing for miles.

"Holy moly," Taylor said. Emily grinned and had both Shelby and Taylor questioning her sanity. She put her hands to her mouth and shouted. "ECHO!" it lasted for what seemed like hours though it was only a few minutes.

The rest of the group stumbled up the steep slope and looked down. The adults discussed the matter and soon they were all down, running through the skeletons the size of blue whales.

Emily had found a smaller bone and whistled. Kiba appeared from under a skull and barked happily.

"Here it comes!" Emily shouted. Shelby and Taylor were further away but they both heard her.

"Oh Shit, Every body duck, Emily's going attempt to use hand eye coordination!" someone shouted, Emily couldn't tell who but was sure it was one of the two.

"Hey, I'm not that bad!"

She threw the bone and it came to no surprise to Taylor and Shelby that a rather loud "OW" echoed through out the graveyard.

"Dumb ass!" Shelby called out.

Shelby had been following Johns for a while, she waited for the perfect moment before climbing up top one of the skeletons that johns had just entered. Emily and Taylor hid some where. When johns had almost exited through the side Shelby jumped down.

"Boo!" She shouted. Johns nearly fired a shot.

"You little twit, I could have killed you!" He shouted, if he was expecting Shelby to start crying he was wrong. What he got was the finger before she ran off.

Somewhere in the grave yard the tall well muscled criminal chuckled. These girls were a riot. With the goggles pulled firmly down around his eyes he pet the large white dog at his side before moving away, leaving the dog to go back to his master.

Emily stayed close to Fry. She wanted to see Riddick for herself. And she knew where he would be next, and that was near Fry. She stayed well behind so the women didn't notice her. Some time later Kiba joined her and Emily welcomed him with a pat on his head.

When the women stopped to check her air tank Emily started. This was her chance! She walked around the skeleton behind Fry and moved about as if she were looking for another bone for Kiba. She was far enough away so she didn't look suspicious. While bending down to tie her converse she looked over. She could only see a shadow but it was enough for her. It was at this moment that her ADD kicked in and she observed the fact that she was sweating. She looked at her favorite pair of skinny jeans and sighed. They would have to go; maybe she could cut them into shorts.

She heard Johns coming though and took her chance. She worked her way slowly and as quietly as possible towards the skeleton. Soon she could make out his figure; tall, muscled, bald, and tan. She was so close she could almost reach out and touch him if it weren't for the bones in the way. She took another step closer and was about to walk in when she heard her name.

"Oh Emzy!! Where are you?!" The man turned so quickly Emily could only blink before she dashed away, Kiba at her heels barking playfully.

There was no visible emotion on the man's face as the girl ran away, his eyes covered by goggles. He sniffed the lock of Fry's hair, memorizing the smell before blowing it away.

Soon the group was moving again, though this time Emily was lagging behind with Kiba walking at her feet. Shelby slowed her pace so she was walking next to Emily.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"I'm worried, I didn't bring my medicine," Emily said quietly.

"You mean that stuff for you migraines?" Emily nodded. Shelby shrugged. "You'll be fine, I'm sure of it," She finished. Emily shuddered. Last time she had one she had had to be hospitalized, she didn't want to think what would happen hear when they don't even have water yet. From that point on she was careful about how she used her energy and rested.

There was a noise up ahead and when they all reached it they found that the younger ones had found a toy robot. When they pulled it out of the sand the gears began to turn. Emily giggled, remembering the action figure her dad used to have.

"Danger, Danger, Will Robinson," Shelby pushed her playfully.

"You're such a nerd," Taylor said.

They walked on and soon, after more walking, they found a settlement. Shelby and Taylor hadn't seen this far into the movie and Emily had, even on TV the scene creeped her out, now it just plan scared her, how it was like a ghost town.

"Guys, lets just wait for them to finish, we can go sit in the shade."

They both followed Emily as she led them over to a small pavilion and sat down on the ground.

"I'm tired," all three said at once. Kiba made him self comfy again at Emily's feet. Emily moved so that she was lying on the ground with her head on Kiba's side.

"You know, this sucks," Shelby said, "There aren't any hot guys here."

"Except one," Taylor said. Emily giggled. Shelby groaned.

"You guys I swear."

" I wonder, if we miss the last 3 days of school, does that mean we have to take our exams?" Taylor asked.

"Awe, I hadn't even thought of that," Emily complained.

They heard Fry shouting in joy and Emily simply said "She found a ship," before she stood up, brushing her bottom off.

A few minutes later there was a distant sound that Kiba heard. He began to howl and bark. Emily took that as a guess that the man mistaken for Riddick had been killed. Which meant Zeke was soon to follow. Emily realized her mistake only then, if they had stayed back at the ship she could have saved them both. Taylor and Shelby both stood up and followed after Kiba who had begun to run back to the ship. Emily found it ironic now, she always told him to run home. When she had been hurt and couldn't get home. It was like lassie. She was staring off into space when the others ran past her. She shook her head and followed after, though she was further behind.

Shelby and Taylor followed Kiba as fast as they could. They could now see Riddick, crouching at the edge of the whole where Zeke had been dragged in. Taylor grabbed a hold of Kiba's collar and pulled him back, letting Johns pass by. Shelby looks back seeing Emily following far off. Riddick was subdued and was now being dragged back to the ship. Both Taylor and Shelby waited for her to catch up. When she did she was breathing hard. She took the air tank nozzle and put it to her lips, taking a few breaths of it before speaking.

"Dang, I have no stamina," The laughed. "Hey Shelby, you know, we should really see what happens when you tell him he's bald," there was a silence before they all burst out laughing, in fact they had to sit down. Not only were they laughing about the joke, but they also just needed to laugh because the situation was weighing on them.

When they had chained Riddick in the ship Fry had gone in to interrogate him. Emily had to follow because it was one of her favorite parts of the entire movie. Kiba was able to get in too, so Emily was all set while Taylor and Shelby listened to Taylor's Ipod, secretly of course and help the others look through luggage. How no one noticed you asked and they would simply say, "We're teenagers, try dodging a teacher."

Fry stood for a second before asking sternly, "So where's the body?" After a few seconds on no reply she asked, "Well, you wanna tell me about the sounds?" Again, there was no reply. As she stood there watching the man she couldn't help but think of some animal boiling in its own fury at the fact that it was chained. Or maybe it was the exact opposite. "You told johns you heard something?"

Here Emily zoned because her mind was racing, she never really paid attention to the part about 'sounds', had he heard the aliens? She rubbed her head, feeling odd she looked up and noticed something about her vision; she had blinds spots which meant a migraine. She shook her head; she'd worry about it later.

She was startled from her thoughts by the sound of Riddick standing up, pulling on his chains.

"Where the hell can I get eyes like that?" Jack asked, Emily looked over from her hiding place, spotting the boy.

"You gotta kill a few people"

"Ok, I can do it", Jack stepped down from the latter.

Emily could almost mouth the entire conversation.

"Look deeper," came Riddick's deep voice. Emily shook her head, 'please go away' she thought. A migraine was the worst thing that could happen to her right now.

Emily has a history of migraines. The most recent she was actually sent to the hospital because they thought she was having a heat stroke. She was confused, horribly; she had no sense of direction and had no clue about anything. She had thrown up several times and couldn't even speak a coherent sentence. The nurse had asked her what years it was and she couldn't answer it hurt so hard to think. What scared her the most though was that she was missing memories. One second she was sitting down throwing up in a bucket, the next she was laying in bed with an IV in her arm. And if anyone asked if she were afraid she would openly admit that, yes, she was.

When Fry left she stood up, Kiba whined at her side, he could feel her unease. The man's head turned in her direction but his eyes were closed against the little bit of light that streamed in from the roof. Emily shook her head, clearing her vision a bit before moving. She stepped around a few wires on the floor, nearly tripped over a crate before coming to a stand still in front of him.

"Sorry about that, I'm a bit clumsy," She said with a laugh.

"I noticed." Emily smile wavered before she sat down on the floor and pulled her bag off her shoulders.

"I don't know how long it'll be till you get your goggles back so I thought you might like these," she said pulling out a pair of black sunglasses. She could see him looking out from under his eyelashes, examining the glasses. "There plastic so they'll break easily, but if you're careful they'll last you a while." There was a silence before Riddick leaned forward, pulling against the chains.

"I'll give 'em a try." Emily grinned before standing up and placing them on his head. Emily was guessing he had opened his eyes because he seemed to smile, well, almost anyways.

Emily brushed the dirt off of her pants before pulling the bag back over her shoulders. "Well, I should get some rest, haven't slept yet since the crash."

"I have a question, before you go", he said

"What is it?" She asked turning around.

"Your pet, what is it?"

Emily blinked. "Pet?" she paused, "ooh, you mean Kiba, he's not my pet, he just lives with me. And he's a dog, well, I think he's part wolf because he's so big, and look at his teeth." Kiba allowed her to open his mouth. "There huge, I wouldn't want to be one to piss him off."

Riddick took all this info in. The dog wasn't her pet and she wasn't afraid of it, nor was she of him. "You have a thing with animals then."

"Oh yeah, I always thought they were the only real innocent things in life. They only did what they need to survive, but humans, there just driven by greed." She ended in a quiet voice. She was by now rubbing Kiba's neck.

Riddick smiled, it was creepy smile but a smile none the less. Emily stood once again.

"well, I have to go, be careful though, sunglasses tend to fall if you move around a lot. I'm on the verge of getting sick, so if you don't hear from me for a while I'm probably dead." She said with a smile. Kiba seemed to shake his head, his master was so weird. Riddick raised an eyebrow. This caught Emily's attention. "Oh! You do have them, weird." She muttered before walking away. Kiba sat there for a while before laying his head on Riddick's leg. He left soon after to follow Emily.

When they were both gone he shook his head, there was something weird about that trio of girls.

Shelby and Taylor took a break while they sipped from a water bottle from Taylor's bag.

"I saw Emily lay down in a pile of clothes in the ship, she probably got a migraine." Taylor nodded. They both breathed from their air tanks before getting back up and dusting themselves off.

"Let's go look for stuff to mess around with." Soon both Shelby and Taylor were talking to Jack about pranks and Jack kept going back to the subject of Riddick which didn't bother Taylor but Shelby was tired of it. She noticed Johns going into the ship, tugging on Taylor's sleeve she pointed after him. All three followed him into the ship where he struck up a deal with Riddick. They were about to leave when Taylor pointed something out.

"Are those Emily's glasses in there?"

"Where?" Shelby asked.

"There, on the floor, by Riddick's foot."

"Oh yeah! Those are hers, I'll go get them."

So while Riddick held Johns at gun point Shelby walked in, picked up the sun glasses, placed them over her eyes and turned to look at both of them, waved , and walked out. Taylor was staring at Shelby like she just grew a second head.

"Dumb ass, you coulda gotten killed."

Shelby grinned.

Later Taylor sat down in the shade. She took a drag from her air tank.

"Ooooh, what you smoking?" Shelby asked. Taylor grinned.

"Shut up, Shelby."
