Setting: Middle of the Jungle in the Island

Loren and the gang followed Max through the humid jungle. Loren was carrying her heavy luggage on her back and was slipping and tripping behind the guys. Kelly was to her left and her mother to her right.

"What's wrong Loren?" asked Kelly bubbly.

Loren glared over at Kelly and gave her an evil eye, "You gotta be kidding me right?" she said stumbling over a log.

Kelly shrugged and looked forward, "It's not that bad, we'll find some kind of phone somewhere."

"Yeah, hopefully we'll find a big ol' mansion somewhere and get hunted alive." Loren mumbles.

Nora scolds Loren, "Hey! What's with the attitude?"

Loren looks at Eddie who is in front of the pack holding vines for everyone as they step through. Then she shakes her head to release all the negative thoughts.

She looks at her mother, "doesn't it bother you a bit that we're on a deserted island when we were suppose to go to New York?" she interrogates.

Nora begins stuttering not knowing what to say, "well, I um. I'm sure it was just a big misunderstanding."

A big misunderstanding, it's always a big misunderstanding.

"Hey Loren!" calls Eddie from behind her.

Loren sighs and turns around waiting for Eddie.

"Yeah Eddie?" she asks fearing what he's about to say.

Eddie smiles and locks her arm in his and begins walking again.

Loren smiles.

Oh so now he's nice Eddie? Well finally!

Loren looks up at Eddie who's already looking at her.

"So you're my girlfriend, huh?" he asks with his little slanted smile.

Loren rolls her eyes, "Oh so now your interested?" she reviles, "What about that 'Yikes!' a whole, I don't know, ten minutes ago?!" she stammers unhooking her arm from Eddie's and walking faster ahead of him.

"Wait! Wait!" he calls running up to her and grabs her right hand to pull her near him.

Loren looks up at him like a sad puppy.

Eddie laughs nervously, "I apologize for that, everything's just so new. I don't even remember my own dad!" he complains gesturing to Max.

Loren rolls her eyes and starts walking again.

The group is a good 40ft away now.

Eddie doesn't let go of Loren's hand. Instead just walks behind her having her pull him along.

"I just can't believe you don't remember me."

She stops and faces Eddie's who she didn't realize was only about an inch away from her.

She looks up at Eddie with his hand in hers, "We were so close.." she murmurs melancholy.

Eddie bites his lip and looks away, "I'm sorry."

Loren sighs and lets go of Eddie's hand and begins walking by herself.

She repositions her heavy bag and looks down at the ground.

Sorry isn't going to bring you back. She thinks.

Loren hears Eddie sigh and run up to her, He takes her bag off her back and puts it on his.

He's now walking beside her smiling, "I got you." he says charmingly.

Loren blushes and looks away.

I wish he GOT his memory back!

"So my dad told me a lot of stuff last night." Eddie's says holding back a group of vines for Loren.

Loren raises an eyebrow, "Like?"

Eddie chuckles as he lets the vines fall behind them, "Well, most hard to believe, I'm a rock star!" he exclaims excitedly.

Loren laughs, Eddie's excitement was adorable.

Eddie goes on, "I'm pretty famous too! Got a bunch of fans and stuffff." he gloats.

Loren giggles, "I was one."

"Yeah?" Eddie asks surprised.

"Yeah I was a huge fan, we used to send tweets to each other on twitter, but you didn't know who I was, you just liked my lyrics."

Eddie's face drops and looks at Loren.

"Luv2luvU?" he asks.

Loren stops and so does Eddie.

"I think I remember that…" Eddie says awkwardly.

Loren jumps up and down excited, "Oh my gosh!" she exclaims hugging Eddie.

"Yeah the lyrics, the song contest!" he gapes in her grasp.

"Do you remember anything else?" she asks eagerly letting go.

Eddie bites his lip and tries to think, "…no. Just, that I really liked your lyrics and song.." he says under his breath, "sorry.."

Loren pats his back and smiled, "It's okay Eddie, baby steps."

Eddie grins and looks at her,

He was going to say something but decides not to, he looks forward and runs up to the rest of the group who all stopped for some reason.

"Wait up!" she yells playfully running behind Eddie.

With two heavy packs he still ran faster. .

Eddie was finally remembering! He remembered twitter, he remembered my song…but when will he remember me?

Loren finally approached to the group and stopped dead in her tracks with them. Gaping at the sight ahead.

"Holy Moly." Loren mumbles.

Setting: Chloe's Bedroom in Fresno

The sun smacked Chloe right in the face and she ripped her eyes open. Sitting up from her bed,

She looked at her bloody wrapped up hand.

"What the fu-?" she started to groan before remembering.

"Oh."

She looks over at her bedroom door and sees luggage piled up in her room.

She points at it and raises an eyebrow, "Oh, I know I don't remember that!"

Chloe crawls out of bed and kicks the luggage out of the way to open the door.

She gasps at her mother standing in the doorway waiting for her.

"What are you doing?!" yells Chloe to her mother.

Jackie ignores her and begins taking the luggage outside. Back and forth, back and forth she throws it all in Chloe's car. Ignoring Chloe's threats and whines.

Chloe finally follows her mom outside to the last load and just stares at her as Jackie shuts the trunk.

"You got to be kidding me!" whines Chloe.

Jackie puts the car keys in Chloe's hands and looks away, "I can't be a part of this anymore.." she mumbles.

"So what you're kicking me out? Where am I going to go?" Chloe defends.

Jackie sighs and heads back to the house.

"Not my problem anymore." She says slamming the door and locking it.

"UGGHHH!" Chloe groans getting into the car.

She rests her head on the steering wheel trying to think.

The apartments been rented out already. Tyler hates me, Mom hates me. Maybe Ozborne is still interested? Nothings wrong with having a sugar daddy…

She looks up and starts the ignition. She goes to adjust the mirror when she sees another her in the back seat.

Chloe gasps and swings around.

Nobodies there.

Chloe turns back around and pulls out of her mother's driveway. She starts driving heading for LA

Get a grip, Chloe. She thinks driving down the dirt road.

Setting: Middle of the Jungle on the Island

"Holy Moly is right." replies Jake.

Right in front of the whole group laid a little village. Hundreds of people were outside and those hundreds of people were all staring at them,

The village looked pretty civilized setting aside the homes were made of branches and the people were half naked.

The people of the village were taller then usual people. The average woman being about 6ft and the man 6'5"

They were all tan with black hair. The women's hair hung as low as their knees and the men had curly hair that hung to the gape of their necks.

The men were gorgeous and looked like Greek gods. They're golden chests covered in muscles and tattoos. They had on skirts made of animal fur that hung to their knees. And makeshift clay shoes, Some had bands on their arms and some did not.

The women however. Were even more gorgeous. They wore bikini top looking shirts made out of different tropical flower petals and green skirts made of leaves that went to their knees. Some of their long hair was straight, some curly, some wavy, some had long braids and ponytails, and some had flowers braided in their hair.

Aside from them being freakishly tall and beautiful they all looked pretty normal.

But the real question was. Were they friendly?

Everyone stopped staring at Loren and the group, and stared at what it seemed to be there leader who began to approach them.

Everyone made way of their leader and some even bowed.

Loren and the gang just stared at the tall man who was strutting towards them.

I sure hope he's friendly, Loren thought as he walked up to Max who was in front.

Max swallowed painfully and offered to shake the hand of the scary man.

This man looked about forty, though he was about six and a half feet tall and had bigger muscles than Eddie.

His hair was longer then the other men. It hung to his mid back and was braided. His skin was a dark-bronze and Mom and Kelly were mesmerized. He wore a sweatpants looking bottoms made of animal fur and sandals.

His face was serious and deadly but suddenly grew kind as he shook Max's hand happily.

"Welcome too our village!" he welcomed gladly.

Everybody gave a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, thank you" said Max letting go of the mans deadly grip, he looked at his hand and back at the man, "Our you the leader? Chief?" he asked

"Yes Chief Alagan." he announced.

"Alagan?" Kelly reiterated laughing until Nora elbowed her.

"I'm Max Duran." Max explained then he introduced the rest of us.

Chief Alagan's face lit up when Max introduced Nora, who just smiled politely.

"You came at a wonderful time, Max. Wonderful time! Will you stay for our celebration tonight?"

Max nodded, "Celebration for what?" he asked.

The village gasped behind the Chief who just chuckled.

"Yesterday the gods fell from the sky!" He announced.

The village cheered behind him.

Here we go.. Loren thought

"Gods?" Max reiterated confused.

"Yes Gods" Alagan said as the village cheered again.

He continued, "Goddess Yesubai had fallen from the sky with her suitors yesterday." he said peering at Nora again.

Why does he keep checking out mom? Loren thought.

"You mean our plane?" Mom butted in.

This time Kelly elbowed her.

Chief Alagan beamed, " I knew it.." he said under his breath.

"Knew what?" Eddie asks.

Alagan turned around to face his villagers who were all staring at Mom.

"Yesubai has returned!" he declared ecstatically.

Suddenly everybody bowed to the ground, Even the chief who was now facing us again.

He lifted, and said kindly to Nora who was now somehow pushed to the front next to Max.

"Let my people help you on your journey, Goddess." he said taking Nora's hand and kissing her fingers.

They think mom's a goddess! Loren thought

Nora laughed nervously, "I'm not a goddess." she said before Max elbowed her and whispered something in her ear.

They bickered back to back in whisper for a moment before Nora swung her hands in the air and declared, "Kidding! I'm a goddess!"

Alagan and the village clapped. Then he motioned us to follow him, and so we did.

We followed him through the beautiful village. There was wooden huts on the ground and wooden bridges and huts in the trees. Flowers were in beautiful vases everywhere and everyone had a smile on their face.

Alagan finally took us to two large tents made of some kind of reptile skin. Maybe alligator ?

He pointed to the left and nicer tent and said, "Yesubai and her women suitors in there."

He then pointed to the right, "Her male suitors in there."

"We will all meet at dinner and discuss." he said before walking away.

The group all shrugged their shoulders and went into their designated tents.

Setting: Yesubai's tent

Loren, Kelly and Nora walked into the tent and gaped at what was inside.

The inside of the tent was white sheeted and filled with beautiful ebony furniture. Flowers decorated the whole inside of the tent.

Ironically there were three chairs and three older women.

The women all looked identical. The only thing telling them apart was their hair styles. They were all heavy set and looked about fifty. They were about six foot. And unlike the other women in the village they wore long green dresses with flowers at the bust. One had long curly hair with one flower in her ear, one had a side braid filled with little flowers, and the other had two long braids hanging in front of her with a large flower at each end.

They all smiled and simultaneously requested, "sit." as they each stood behind an ebony chair.

Loren, Nora, and Kelly shrugged their shoulders and sat as the women began washing and doing their hair.

"Mom?" Loren asked looking worried.

"Yeah?" Nora responded.

Loren sighed, "What the heck are we doing?"

Nora sighed as well, "Max said to go along with it until the celebration. Then we ask for help."

Kelly butted in, "Besides the big guy said he wants to help us on our journey!" she shrugged her shoulder and put a berry in her mouth, "Let'em help."

Kelly leaned back on her slanted chair and continued eating out of the bowl of random berries next to her.

Loren sighed, "I don't know mom, I don't think it's safe."

Nora closed her eyes as the lady brushed her hair, "Me neither but it's all we got."

Loren shook her head and got up from her chair, "I'll be right back." she assured her lady as she walked out of the tent.

She snuck over to the back of the guys tent. There was an opening in the back and she was about to sneak through when Alagan walked into the tent with the guys.

Loren jumped and hid behind a curtain, peeking in at the tent.

Their tent had the same design as her's except it was more macho. The furniture looked like plain wood and in the inside animal skin and heads were everywhere.

Three older ladies who looked identical to the ones in her tent were looking through a trunk of clothes. And Eddie, Max, and Jake were all talking in a huddle until Alagan came in.

"Chief!" Max welcomed gladly.

"What's up chief?" asking Jake putting his hands in his tattered pockets.

Chief smiled and behind him came three amazons strutting in the tent.

They looked like beautiful triplets. Although they towered above the guys they were the prettiest girls you'd ever seen. They beat Chloe right out of the ballpark.

They all had long black wavy hair with little yellow flowers throughout it. They had gold war paint painted on their faces and arms. They had Nicki Minaj bodies covered in long tan gowns that hugged their bodies. They all wore identical dresses, identical makeup, and identical hairstyles.

They lined in a row, smiled and posed at the guys.

Eddie, Jake, and even Max's eyes popped out of their heads.

"Max, Jake, Eddie these are my daughters, Anamika, Deshcen, and Sirena" Chief Alagan introduced, "They will be your consorts for the evening."

Max snapped out of it, "consorts?" he reiterated confused, "What do you mean consorts?"

Chief Alagan laughed, "They will keep you company." he said with a wink.

Loren gasped quietly.

Eddie no..

The three boys got in a little football huddle and talked.

Jake whispered to Max and Eddie, "You guys got Nora and Loren, you cant," he paused, "but I can." he whispered smiling.

Max punched Jake's shoulder, "We got to pay attention to the task at hand: Getting home."

Eddie sighed, "fine."

Fine? What does he mean fine?! Loren thought angrily.

They broke their huddle. And Max approached Chief Alagan and lied, "We are all betrothed, we must decline." he announced in his manliest fanciest voice he had.

Alagan nodded and left the tent with his beautiful daughters.

Thank god, Loren thought , sneaking back to her tent.

She walked back into her tent and gasped at her mom and Kelly.

They were both dressed in bikini tops made of golden painted tropical flowers, and they wore long silky tan skirts that hung to there feet. The skirts resembled the chief's daughter's gowns. The skirts were even more gorgeous for which they were loose and flowed as they walked. The skirts were held up by a golden band. And they had on tan silk slippers. There outfits were exactly the same except Nora had golden bands on her arms, a thick golden chain, and a golden henna tattoo on her left hand. Kelly did not have those things.

They both wore golden glittery makeup and nude lipstick. Kelly's hair was fishtailed braided to the side with golden flowers in the braid. She also had some sort of golden head band around her forehead.

Nora's hair however, was put up and curled in little curls. It looked like a prom styled hairstyle besides the golden flowers and golden tiara.

They both looked beautiful but that worried Loren even a bit more.

She pulled her mom to the side and whispered in her ear, "This is getting out of hand mom.. We're getting too much attention." Loren warned.

Nora whispered back in Loren's ear, "I know, I hope Max knows what he's doing."

Loren sighed, and whispered in her mom's ear, "You look beautiful by the way."

Nora smiled and hugged Loren.

They released and Nora and Kelly started to head out the door.

"Where you going?" Loren stopped them.

Kelly swung around and grinned, "To the celebration!" she cheered.

Nora walked up to Loren and kissed her forehead, "It's not far, and these ladies will take good care of you."

"okay." Loren replied, "Don't go too far."

Nora smiled, "I won't." she said walking out of the tent.

Loren swung around to face the three ladies who were staring at her smiling. The one was holding clothes, the other accessories, and the other flowers.

"Oh boy.." Loren said under her breath as she sat back in her chair.

The one lady with the flowers walked behind Loren's chair and started doing her hair.

The other two ladies just stood in front of Loren smiling and staring.

Loren felt uncomfortable and smiled nervously.

"Can I help you?" She asked sweetly.

The ladies smiled even harder, the one shook her head as the other spoke in a light delicate voice, "We hear you are the daughter of the Goddess."

She's not a goddess. But she is my mom.

Loren nodded.

The two ladies beamed and spoke native words to each other then to the lady doing Loren's hair.

The lady doing Loren's hair then patted Loren's head and whispered in her ear, "Then you will shine, Goddess."

Loren smiled awkwardly.

I just wanna go homeeee…! She whined in her head.
