Setting: Jungle outside the village

Loren stops crying and lets go of Eddie. She rubs his back sitting beside him on the log, "Eddie! You remember your song? What else do you remember?" she asks hopeful.

There might be some hope after all.

Eddie looks at Loren and smiles, "everything…" he whispers.

"Huh?" Loren asks not believing her ears.

Suddenly, Eddie hugs Loren again tightly and starts breathing heavy. He squeezes her tight and runs his hands down her head and back.

"Everything, I remember everything." he whispers, kissing her ear and neck.

Then he starts kissing her all over her face, her cheek, her forehead, her nose, her chin.

Then he stops to look in her eyes before he kisses her tender lips.

Loren stares at him astonished.

Everything? Eddie remembers everything? EDDIE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING!

Loren processes everything and grins the biggest whitest smile you'd ever seen.

Eddie smiles too then kisses her vigorously on the lips, over and over again.

A big smile is between every kiss.

Eddie then stops kissing her because he can not stop smiling.

Loren grabs his hands and they stand up gazing at each other.

Two god looking beings are standing in the moon light in the middle of the jungle. Hand and hand they gaze upon each others big brown eyes and smile.

"Everything?" she asks in a hushed excited voice, "MK? Your mom? Your job?"

Eddie grins and nods his head.

He then hugs Loren tightly again, whispering in her ear, "And our first kiss on your doorstep, the pastrami sandwiches, and being trapped in Ojai and missing you every second."

A tear of joy drips down Loren's cheek as she smiles with gratitude.

They stop hugging but are still holding each other close looking at each other,

"and I remember being, madly in love with you." Eddie whispers followed with a smile.

Madly in love? =)

He then leans down and kisses Loren soft and passionately.

The bond had returned. The flower representing their love had grown sky-high. They could feel each others hearts beating a mile a minute and longing for each other.

They held each other's cheeks and kissed like there was no tomorrow.

When they released every star in the sky seemed to shimmer.

Loren looked up at the stars and back down at Eddie, "Now we just have to get out of here.." she said under her breath.

"Tell me about it."

Setting: Mel's bedroom

Mel is sitting on her bed on the phone with Tyler. She is interested on what he has to say and how he can help but she's nervous because a little part of her tells her to hang up, it's a bad idea.

Mel bites her lip and runs her hand through her hair nervously.

Mel: "Hello, Mr. Rorke? This is Mel Sanders." she states in a serious down-to-business voice.

Tyler: "Mel! I see you got my email." he says chuckling.

Mel: "Well yeah, can you help us find Eddie and Loren?"

Tyler: "Yeah, I see on your website that you're looking for information."

Mel: she laughs nervously saying, "We'll take anything we can get."

Tyler: "we?" he asks

Mel: "Yeah my boyfriend and I"

Tyler sighs: "Boyfriend? oh well, I don't have any information, but I'll help any way I can."

Mel smiles: "I'd appreciate it."

Tyler: "can we meet up and discuss this in person?"

Mel: "uhmmm yeah. Where and when?"

Tyler: "Rumor in an hour."

Mel: "Okay."

Tyler: "oh and one more thing."

Mel: "yeah?"

Tyler: "Don't bring the boyfriend, see you then. bye."

Then Mel hangs up.

She gets up and stretches looking at the mirror. She stops to check herself out and shakes her head.

"You cant wear that, going to see Tyler Rorke!" she scolds herself before diving in her closet.

This ought to be good, She thinks looking around.

Setting: The village

Eddie and Loren are walking hand in hand back to the celebration. They walk into the village and it is still packed with natives. They squirm through the crowd, not letting go of each other's hands, in search of Nora, Max, Jake, and Kelly.

As they walk through the crowd they notice the amount of people in the fairground are growing more scarce by the minute.

Soon and luckily, they find Max, Jake, Kelly, and Nora with Chief Alagan by the roaring fire.

You can tell Eddie and Loren can't wait to tell them the news but they wait patiently while Max and Nora are in the middle of a conversation with the chief.

However, Jake and Kelly are not.

Eddie goes over to Jake and nonchalantly whispers the news in his ear. Loren does the same to Kelly.

"Oh my god! Eddie!" Kelly exclaims excitedly then hugs him.

Jake does the same.

"Things are going to run a lot smoother now that Eddie's back." adds Kelly.

Eddie smiles and puts his arm around Loren who sighs at Kelly and Jake.

"Smooth enough to get home?" she asks hopeful.

Kelly shrugs but Jake turns around and gestures to Max before answering, "Max is talking to chief about hooking us up at the beach now, we'll be home in no time."

Eddie rubs Loren's back while she sighs a deep painful sigh once more, "I hope so." she says under her breath.

Then the four of them look over at Chief Alagan, Nora, and Max's animated conversation. There laughing, there getting along. Though, hopefully they're getting the job done.

They start to close their conversation, and then Max and Nora come strolling to Eddie, Loren, Kelly, and Jake.

"We got good news!" announces Max smiling.

"Us too." Loren gloats putting her hand on Eddie's chest.

Nora grins, "he remembers don't he?" she guesses.

Eddie and Loren nod.

"Oh that's great!" Nora cheers and hugs Eddie.

Max turns even happier and gives his son a nice meaningful hug.

Eddie laughs, "so what's your good news?"

Max smiles and claps his hands together, "Chief is sending workers overnight to make us a nice camp, he says it'll be ready in the morning." he informs.

Everyone smiles and cheers.

"What about tonight? Where we gonna stay?" asks Eddie.

Then Nora starts to explain, "He's giving us all our own individual apartments up there!" she cheers pointing up to the series of houses connected by bridges in the trees, "He wants us safe."

Loren looks up at the houses and bites her lip.

Pretty high up. Doesn't look to safe..

Suddenly Chief Alagan approaches the gang.

"Let me show you to your temporary homes." he says in a deep sophisticated voice.

One by one they follow him to a wooden ladder and they all climb up into the neighborhood in the trees.

It looked steady. One long bridge was built through the trees in the perimeter of the city. The bridge was as wide as an average road though many many little houses sat beside it, The wood that made up everything was a yellowy orangish oak color. They walked down the bridge together following Alagan.

They first, passed about six small houses the size of sheds, but as they progressed down the bridge the houses became larger and larger.

Alagan stopped when he came to a large wooden cabin the size of a single car garage.

"Jake," he said pointing to the cabin, "You will stay here."

Jake nodded and said his goodbyes before walking in.

They continued walking only to the next cabin beside it which was a tad bit bigger.

"Max." he said pointing to the cabin.

Max nodded. He hugged Loren and his son, and whispered something in Nora's ear, before he kissed her and went in.

They walked to the next house which was the same size.

"Kelly." he said pointing.

She waved everyone goodbye and went in.

The house next to it was about the size of a double car garage.

"Yesubai" he said with a big smile, "This one fo' you."

Nora almost forgot she was Yesubai, she shook her head remembering and giggled nervously. She hugged and kissed Loren's cheek and waved to Eddie before going in.

The door shut, and they began walking down the high up bridge to the next line of homes. It was about 30 feet away from the four houses all connected to each other.

In this set three houses were together. Each was back down to the size of a single car garage and the wood was spotless and beautiful. He pointed to the first one and explained it was for Eddie, then the middle one for Loren, then the other one was for gaurds he'd assigned.

After explaining everything Chief Alagan left and headed back down to the village leaving Loren and Eddie in front of their homes.

They both walked up to their doors, which were right next to each other and they looked at each other and smiled.

"Goodnight Eddie." Loren said in a hushed voice

"Goodnight Loren." he replied kissing her.

They released and they walked into there cabins.

Setting: Loren's cabin

Loren walked into her cabin and gasped, it was beautiful.

It was small but had an exotic hotel room kind of vibe.

Mostly everything was that beautiful orangey brown wood, and what wasn't looked extremely tropical.

First of all, the whole cabin was candle lit, with many candles here and there giving the place a warm orange glow. There was a weaved tan, orange and pink circular rug in the center of the cabin. In the back laid a huge California king bed made of cloth and cotton stuffed in the inside. There was also a wooden frame and headboard. Behind the bed, hanging on the wall was a quilt looking type of collage of different paintings.

There were makeshift pillows and a blanket that resembled to rug on the bed. There were also two wooden carved chairs in the right hand corner with seat covers that also looked like a rug. And filling out the rest of the room were beautiful plants. Ferns, and flowers planted in beautiful hand made clay vases resting on the floor. Some even hung from the ceiling. Infront of the large bed

What a fire hazard.. Loren thought as she picked up one candle and its clay holder and walked through the cabin and shutting the door.

As she walked through examining everything, one by one she blew out more and more candles until the one in her hands was the only one lit.

She then stopped by her bed and looked around on the wall. She noticed a door.

I thought it was just one room.

She then opened the door and tiptoed through the passage. The hidden room wasn't a hidden room, but just a bathroom.

There was a long bench on the left side with a whole made of clay in it. Porta-potty style. In the middle was a small square table that looked like a night stand holding a beautifully decorated bowl of cool water. On the table also layed more candles and soaps. She looked up and to her surprise, hung a big round mirror.

I didn't know they would know how to make mirrors.

Loren looked at herself in the mirror and she could see how gorgeous the native ladies made her. Surprisingly all the crying didn't make her black mascara or eyeliner run.

Her curls were still perfect. The most perfect you'd ever seen. It didn't look like when Loren usually curled her hair. Loren's hair was now long and the curls were loose. She looked like a Hawaiian princess. Especially with the golden flower in her hair.

Loren smiled at herself and continued looking around. To the right was a interesting little shower. There was no curtain, just a bunch of wooden rods with a rock looking spicket, and handle to pull for the water, and a drain at the bottom. On the wooden rods also laid fancy little soaps and perfumes.

Loren turned back to the makeshift sink and blew out the candles on the sink so the jungle wouldn't light on fire.

Oddly, she then realized the bathroom was to lit for the one candle she had in her hand. She looked up and smiled at what she saw. To her surprise, there was no roof. The whole bathroom ceiling was a sunroof and the moon and stars lit it up. The sight was beautiful and this was the kind of perfect bathroom not even a rock star could have in Hollywood.

She then left the bathroom and sat down on her bed. She sat on her side because she was still wearing the beautiful dress and she just relaxed watching the wax melt on the candle burning in front of her.

The cabin was pitch dark except for her candle that lit a red little glowing bubble around her.

Second by second wax dripped down the candle stick and plopped onto the clay holder.

Loren was mentally and physically exhausted. She's been walking all day and she wanted to go home to her own bed. She was sick of playing goddess and just wanted to relax with Eddie on her porch in the valley.

Although at least she got Eddie back. If she had to go a single second more without her lover she would go insane.

I just wish we were engaged again..

She wondered if Eddie remembered that, or maybe he just plain old forgot, amnesia or not. She wanted to be Loren Duran. She loved Eddie and wanted to spend her life with him. All the cards were on the table, but unfortunately it was Eddie's hand.

Suddenly Loren heard a creak and her cabin door creeped open.

Afraid, she jumped up with the candle ready to fight.

Then he walked in, it was Eddie.

Loren let out a sigh of releif, "Oh thank god, it's you."

Eddie chuckled and walked up to Loren.

"Whats up? I don't think we're aloud out of our places." she stated.

Eddie shrugged, "I wanted to see you.." he said charmingly with a smile.

Loren grinned, "Oh, you wanted to see me huh?"

Eddie nodded and stepped closer to Loren. He leaned down and blew out the candle, Loren was holding.

Now the cabin was almost pitch black but the moon and stars peeking through the front door that was half open made it just light enough to see an outline of each other.

Eddie then put his hand on Loren's waist and his other on her cheek and kisses her. They kept kissing romantically then fell on the bed.

A gust of wind traveled and shut the front door. Now the cabin was pitch black, and you could no longer see Eddie and Loren.

Setting; Ozborne Silver's Office

Ozborne is sitting behind his desk looking up at Chloe who is sitting on it.

"So you need a place to stay?" he says.

"I do." she says dangerously flirty hitting his leg with her high heel.

He smiles, "Well I do have a guest room." he states, "And I am a good friend.."

Chloe beams and jumps off the desk and hugs him, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" I owe you big time!"

Ozborne gets up and takes Chloe's hand.

"Then let me take you to dinner right now.." he persuades charmingly.

Chloe smiles, "Rumor?"

Oz then takes her arm and walks out the office, "Ofcourse."
