"Okay if you look out the window to your left side ladies and gentlemen you'll see the pacific ocean, on your right side you will see the other side of the pacific ocean" Gabato said, I smiled in amusement "Are you gonna do that this entire trip?" Hank asked annoyed "Sir you did pay for the luxury tour" Gabato replied, Hank nodded and looked back out the window,
I did the same "It's a beautiful sky huh?" Sean asked, I looked to my left and saw him talking to Kailani "Uh huh" she replied without even glancing at him "I mean today it just seems specially...majestic" he said, she looked at him "Majestic? Really?" she asked, he nodded "I have to finish the flight safety check" she said turning back to her clipboard,
he nodded and turned to me "What d'you think Lanes?" he asked, I shrugged "I wouldn't call it majestic" I replied without facing him, I felt him put an arm around my shoulder "Lanie what's up with you?" he asked, I shrugged again "Nothing" I replied, I had a feeling he was about to say something else but a flash of lightening caught his eye, I looked through the window and noticed the sky was darker and full of lightening "We have to go around the storm"
Kailani said "According to this that's where the island is" Sean said looking at his phone "There is no island there" she said "Well it looks like were about to find out" Hank said, we flew further into the storm and I became very nervous, the fog cleared but there in the middle were two large water tornados, my eyes widened and everyone screamed as the helicopter began to shake "Papa we need to get out of here now" Kailani exclaimed
"You know I was thinking the same thing" he replied terrified "No wait the mysterious island chapter one..." Sean said pulling out the book "..the passengers had been taken into a circling movement of a column of air" he read out "Were about to fly into a category 5 hurricane now is not the time to take the book literally" Hank shouted, he had to shout because the thunder and rain made it very hard for us to ehar each other "We have to go into the hurricane to get to the island"
Sean said "Are you insane Sean? We'll never survive" I said "We gotta trust Vern" Sean said to me "You know what I trust? Gravity..Gabato get us out of here now" Hank said "You know that's a good idea and I agree with you, but the thing is I don't fly this helicopter any more, the throttles broken" Gabato said,
my heart sank and I suddenly felt sick "What?" Hank asked with wide eyes, the helicopter started spinning "Were going down" Gabato screamed, the plane spun even faster and we had to put our hands to the roof so we didn't fly everywhere, I could hear the plan coming apart and as we entered the tornado I could see us heading for the water,
tears ran down my face "Lanie look at me" Sean demanded, I did and he looked me in the eyes "Trust me on this, you trust me don't you?" he asked smiling a little, I nodded "Yes" I managed to say, he took hold of my hand and I gripped it in both of mine, I looked back through the front of the window and the water came closer and closer until my vision turned black.
"Lanie, Lanie" I heard someone calling my name and my eyes opened slowly, I winced at the sudden light but eventually my eyes settled "Where are we?" I asked sitting up and putting a hand to my throbbing head "Were on the island Lanes, we made it" Sean said happily, I nodded and he helped me stand up "I told you you could trust me" he said, I rolled my eyes "Somebody help me!" Gabato screamed, we all ran down the beach and found him in burried in the sand
"My bodies been cut in half" he shouted, I giggled "Papa your foots right there" Kailani said, he looked at it "My severed foot" he whined, his toes started moving and he panicked "And it's moving" he shouted, Sean and Hank pulled him out of the sand revealing that his body was fine "I'm still in one piece, yay" he said quietly
"Well I guess you were right, there is an' island" Kailani said staring out at the ocean, I could see the tornado we had flown into still there "This is not what I was expecting" Sean said looking at the dull rocky mountains "Okay guys listen up, we gotta collect all our stuff that washed ashor and take stock of our supplies. We need to find shelter, let's go"
Hank said, I nodded and soon found my bag next to a large boulder, I pulled my bottle of water out and took large gulps, I put the cap back on and searched my bag to make sure everything was in it, it was but my phone was soaked which meant it wouldn't work "Hey I think I found a way off the beach" Sean announced, we followed him into a dark cave and I was at the back of the line,
as we walked further through we eventually reached an' opening, the light shone through and Sean was the first to go through the hole, we all trailed behind and once we all got through my eyes widened at the scene in front of me "If this is heaven I'm checking in" Gabto said, I couldn't say anything "Ladies and gentleman I give you..."
Sean started "The mysterious Island" Hank finished, I found it amusing but I didn't say anything to them "What is this place?" Kailani asked in awe, a bunch of butterflies flew by but they were much more bigger than' normal butterflies "Wow this island shrunk us" Gabato exclaimed, I giggled and heard a loud elephant noise behind me,
we all spun around and saw a heard of elephants, but they were same size as puppy, Hank picked up one of them and we all petted it "It's so cute" I gasped "Sean what does Vern say about this?" Hank asked "It's one of the first laws of island biogeography, small animals become large and large animals become small" Sean explained
"I'd like to keep as a pet, knit him a little trunk warmer" Gabato said, I smiled and Hank let down the elephant "D'you guys see that smoke? That's gotta be my grandpa's camp site" Sean said "How do you know?" I asked confused "What else could it be?" he asked shrugging "Maybe it's the natives sparking up a bbq ready to cook us for dinner" Gabato said horrified "Only one way to find out" Sean said walking past us
"Woah woah time out, look I hope your grandfathers okay but my father and I aren't going, were heading back to the beach" Kailani said "To do what?" Sean asked "To write an SOS message in seashells and maybe some kelp?" Gabato suggested "Kelp? There's a boat eating plane eating hurricane out there 24/7 nobodies gonna see your Kelp"
Sean pointed out, I hmm'd in agreement "Sean's absolutely right we need to stick together, once we find his grandfather we'll use his radio to call for help" Hank said "Fine. Just know that if we get torn to bits I'm blaming you" Kailani reluctantly said while looking at Sean, she walked away and Gabato followed "I'm blaming you too"
he added as he past Sean "Smooth" Hank said giving Sean a thumbs up, he followed them and I followed him "What did I do?" Sean exclaimed from behind me, I laughed and we made our way slowly down the mountain.
