Chapter 5
The wildcats were sitting around the fire pit after realizing they had no clue where Troy and Gabriella were. It was silent until Kelsi broke the silence. "Where's the pilot?" Eyes started wondering around. "Oh, that guy," Sharpay said, "He told me he was going into the jungle to look for people or something like that a few hours after we landed." "And you didn't tell anyone?" Taylor said. She was beginning to be annoyed by Sharpay's cluelessness. "Sorry!" she said emphasizing the split in the 2 syllables, "I didn't think anyone would care!" The group groaned. It was silent for the rest of the night until the group decided to get to sleep.

Troy and Gabriella were sitting against a tree looking out into the pitch-black darkness. Their arms were wrapped around one another to keep warm. "Troy," Gabriella said, "do you think were gonna get rescued?" Troy sat there for a moment. He wasn't sure what to say to her, "We've only been here for a day. They'll find us. They have to." "What about the others back at camp, do you think they realize were not there?" "Of course," he said, "they'll probably look for us in the morning. Everything's gonna be okay." They sat in silence, eventually falling asleep in each others arms.
The next day, the couple woke up to the rising sun. They were both still exhausted from last night's journey, but sleeping against a tree wasn't the most comfortable thing to do. "Let's just stay here until the sun is fully up." Troy suggested. "Alright," Gabriella agreed. "I'm gonna go see if there's a fruit tree near by. Do want to come with me?" he asked. "Sure," she said.
They had only walked for about two minutes before finding a banana tree. They each took one banana before walking back to their tree. They ate and then waited until it was fully light out again. Once the sun was completely up they began walking. Troy picked up a pointed stick and scratched an X on their tree. "To make sure we're not walking in circles," he told Gabriella. She smiled and thought, "Wow! that was a good idea!"

In the morning, back at the campsite, Ryan and Sharpay were the first ones up. Ryan's stomach growled. "Let's go get some breakfast," he said, and they walked over to where the fruit was. When they reached the pile there eyes couldn't believe what they saw. There was a lot more fruit then they thought. "Wow," Ryan said, "I didn't realize how much food Troy and Gabriella had gathered." He reached down and grabbed a piece of fruit, "Hopefully they get back soon they can eat some of their findings." Sharpay grabbed a piece of fruit, too, "They'll be fine," she said biting into a banana.
Eventually, everyone was up. Taylor needed to make an announcement, "Hey, everyone! Can I have your attention?" She yelled, "Thank you. Now as you all know, Troy, Gabriella, and the captain have gone missing, and I think we need to find them. Maybe not so much the pilot, because we know he left on purpose. But Troy and Gabriella were looking for water and should've been back a long time ago, and I think some people should go out and look for them. I'm willing to go but I'll need one or two people to tag along. Any volunteers?" She looked around, it was silent. Chad thought, "Hmm, Taylor needs help. It would be good to spend some time with her, but I'm no jungle guy." After thinking it through, Chad raised his hand, "I'll go with you." Taylor smiled, "Yes!" she thought. "Thanks Chad," she said, "We should start packing. I don't know how long we will be gone." Without saying a word, he got up and started walking towards the tent.
About an hour later, Chad and Taylor were at the edge of the jungle with backpacks on. "We'll be back soon." Taylor said. "Hopefully," Chad added. And with that, they began walking through the dense jungle.
A/N- Ok, I hope I explained the captain well enough. I kind of forgot about him. (Sorry). I don't know when I'll be able to update again, probably within a week. Review please!
