Keith Part 5

Once the plane crashed Keith, the pilot, and I quickly got out of the plane. Luckily, the plane didn't burst into flames.

"I think I broke my arm." the pilot groaned in pain, holding his left arm. I help him sit down on a fallen tree and ripped some fabric off my dress. Then I found some wood that can be used as a splint and put it against his arm. Next, I wrapped the fabric around it. Finally, I ripped more fabric off the dress and tied it around his neck and put his arm through the sling.

"I think that should do it." I said.

"What did you do to that dress!?" Keith yelled at me. "Do you know how much I paid for that?"

"Does it look like I care? It's already ruined anyway so don't yell at me for ruining it." I said super annoyed. "Where are we anyway?"

"It looks like some island. Doesn't seem like anyone lives here, just jungle." said the pilot.

"Oh god! No civilization!" Keith yelled freaking out.

"Relax okay. We'll be fine. All we need to do is fix some stuff in the plane and call for help." I said.

"How do you know?" Keith said with his voice really high.

"I saw too many survival shows back at home with the kids." I said. Then it started to hit me. The kids are by themselves at the palace. "Oh no the kids!" I started to freak out with Keith. We paced back and forth and cried.

"Alright, alright, everybody just calm down." the pilot said. "We will all be fine. All we need to do is relax and deep breathes." he said calmly. We did what he said and did breathes with him. "Lets all just sleep for the night and think of something tomorrow." he said. We all agreed and went into the cooled off plane and slept on the seats for the night.

It was morning and I was the only one awake. I decide to go get some food for us to eat so adventure out into the jungle. I came across some fruit tree. From watching those survival shows I checked the fruits to see if they were eaten and checked for animal carcasses to show that the fruits were poisonous. When I saw half consumed or entirely eaten, it showed that they were fine so I started to climb.

They were small and yellow with a rough edge around it. I took a little bite of one and was amazed how good they were. It was a citrus fruit, but I wanted to be sure that they were fine. I waited for a while to see if they caused any problems. They were fine so I ripped some fabric off my dress and form it into a bag and put the fruits in it. As I climb down the tree I almost slipped off, but I was able to save myself by grabbing into a nearby branch until someone shouted.

"What are you doing!?" Keith's voice scared me, making fall out of the tree. I screamed like crazy until I felt arms around me. Keith was holding me bridal style. Our faces were so close I could see how green his eyes were. Pure emerald.

"Are you okay?" he broke away coughing awkwardly.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I said looking down embarrassed. He sets me down gently and sees the fruits.

"Is that what you were doing?" he asked. "There are better looking ones over there." he pointed up to a tree that had green, small fruits that haven't been touch.

"There not good." I said and I explained to him why.

"You are smarter than I thought." he said.

"TV does teach you things." I said making him laugh. He grabs the bag from me and suggest to go back to the plane. I agreed and for some reason we went slowly like we didn't want to go back.

We got back and split the fruits between Keith, the pilot, and I. After we ate I went to go help the pilot with the transmitter.

"Connect that red wire to the black one." the pilot order me politely. I did what he said and carefully connected the wires.

"Alright…" he said and started to twist the knobs on the transmitter. "So, what's your story? Between you and the Prince." he asked suddenly.

"There is no story." I denied automatically.

"That's a bogus lie." he laughed. "Come on, tell me." I sighed and told him what happened.

"And that is that." I finished.

"That's not romantic." the pilot smiled.

"What do you mean romantic?"

"Well in all my years for being the royal family's trusted pilot, I have never seen the Prince so interested in a girl like you or any girl for that matter. He's always complaining about commoners and rich people who don't see him as king and tries too hard to show that he can." he explained. "In my opinion, he acts like a pompous jerk so that's one reason."

"I know right it's so irritating!" I agreed. "But, he does have a soft side. He doesn't show it very much, but he is very sweet when he wants to be."

"I've seen that side too, especially with his younger sister Cathy. She's always been poor of health so he is super kind to her. It shows that he is not that bad of guy." Suddenly a voice came out of the radio that we also fixed.

"Hello! Come in!" Luke's voice screech.

"Luke it's me, Marika!" I answered the radio. "We are stuck in some sort of island. Come get us!"I said.

"We got your coordinates about twenty minutes ago. We are on our way!" Luke said and hangs up.

"We're going be saved!" I cheered hugging the pilot.

"Ouch my arm!" the pilot cried on pain.

"Oops, so sorry!" I said and left the plane in a jiffy. I found Keith standing by the ocean looking out. "Keith!" I called out to him I jumped on him bringing him down to the ground.

"Hey!" he cried out.

"We're going to be saved! I just talk to Luke and he said he is coming to get us!" I cheered. Keith broke out into a smile and hugged me. We laughed and smiled hugging each we pulled away I noticed that I was sitting on his lap. "Oh, I'm sorry!" I said trying to get up, but he grabs me and pulls me back down.

"No it's fine." he said in a deep voice that I have never heard before. "You called me by my first name for the first time."

"I am also sorry." I said in a monotonous voice shocked of what he is doing.

"I like it. Call me that and I'll call you by yours." he said kissing my cheek. "Marika." he whispers in my ear. I blush hard. He hugged me again and my heart started to beat hard against my chest.

"Did you eat something strange?" I asked with my voice cracking.

"Nope." he answered. We stayed like that for awhile.

"Hey come on the helicopter is here!" the pilot called out. Keith grabs my hand and we ran to him and the helicopter overhead
