Chapter 6
"I know we all buried our tapes, but I kept one, and I think we should all watch it now," Daley said, and with that, Lex pushed play.
Taylor
"It's our last day on the island, and we thought we would all share our thoughts about going home. I am so happy to be getting off the island, but I'm also scared. I became so much stronger here, and I made real friends. What happens if I can't be that person at home?"
Eric
"I know we all had our moments, but to be honest, I'm going to miss this place. I know I caused a lot of trouble, but everyone always forgave me. I know these people will be my friends forever because after an experience like this, nothing could break our bond."
Melissa
"I'm glad we are going home, but I'm going to miss being on this island. I learned so many lessons, and I'm so glad that Jackson and I got closer. I know everyone at school thinks he is scary, but I know he would never hurt any of us. He is amazing. I know home will bring nothing but good things for all of us."
Nathan
"I know we always talked about how we wanted to leave, but now that it's time, I'm not sure if I'm ready. What if things change when we get home?" The screen went blank, but then Nathan came back "Na, I know that's not going to happen. We have been through too much together."
Daley
"This has been the hardest and best month of my life. I learned not to be so controlling and to listen to other people. I know when I get home, the lessons I learned here will stick with me forever, and these people have made me into who I'm truly meant to be."
Jackson
"I know I'm not very sentimental, but this island became like home. These are the only people I would consider to be family. Even though we have our ups and downs, we are there for each other no matter what. I'm glad we got stranded on this island because we all got something amazing from this experience"
The next scene of the tape was of the entire group. In unison they all said "we are the survivors of Flight 29 DWN, and now we are going home!" Then it cuts to a group hug.
"I just wanted to remind everyone what we wanted to happen when we got home. We were a family on the island, and we still are. We just need to remember what brought us all together in the first place," I said.
"Thanks Day. This was perfect," Mel said with a hug.
Daley smiled and said, "And now, in keeping in the true spirit of Chilloween, it's time for presents. Last time, I pretty much flaked, but this time, I've got it covered."
She handed each one of them a box. In it was a shirt for everyone. The front said "I survived Flight 29 DWN," and their name was on the back.
I got everyone their favorite color. Nathan red, Jackson grey, Eric orange, Taylor pink, Melissa purple, and mine was light blue. I even got one for Lex in dark blue. Wrapped in the shirt was also a picture frame. Inside was a picture the guy took of us when we were getting rescued. It was of the group hug at the end of the video.
