DAY 3 MORNING

LILY POV

It had been 3 days since the crash and my ankle is so much better. I can actually walk on it and I helped Taylor gather oysters and crabs from the beach yesterday evening so I guess my ankle is not as bad as Daley thought it was.

I was one of the first ones awake but Taylor, Jackson, and Lex were outside around the fire. I went out and sat next to Taylor who was eating a mango. She handed me a banana and then handed me a raw fish on a hook.

"What is this for?" I asked because I was confused.

"I'm going to teach you how cook a fish. Since it is your job now." We both giggled a little then she put a pan on the stand that they made and told me to give her the fish. I handed her the fish and she explained,

" First you have to kill the fish, which we already did by storing it in the cooler, next you have to take off the scales so we don't eat them and this part is gross but all you do is take a knife and scrape until everything is off. So let's do that now." Taylor showed me how to hold the knife and the fish was scaled within 5 minutes.

"It wasn't that gross." I said.

"It's gets easier and easier. Ok so now we have to flip it over and cut it open on its stomach to take out its gills and bladder and the guts that we don't eat. I'm sorry if this is gross but it gets easier." She said

She handed me the knife and I cut it and scraped out everything she told me to and then it came time for the worst part.

" Now last and grossest part, we have to cut off his head. I mean you don't have to but I don't want my dinner to be looking at me right?"

This time she did it herself and she took the knife and cut off his head. We disposed of the head and buried it then rinsed the fish with water and put it on the pan.

"Easy enough." I said satisfied at our work. " How many fish do you do this to a day and who catches the fish?"

"Well this may surprise you but I do and so does Jackson. We do it to about 1 fish a day unless its small. But on special days we do it twice. They actually taste better then you'd think." Taylor said.

"Well I'm hungry so let's grill this fish!" Everyone at the fire pit laughed. Being on this island isn't so bad after all.

3rd Person POV

Miley awoke to find herself alone in the shelter. She sat up and then realized Daley was there. Daley woke up too and asked Miley how she was doing.

"I'm doing alright. I miss my family but I'm not dying." She said sarcastically.

"Good, I know it's hard at first but after awhile we all feel like each other's family." Said Daley "Come on let's go see what's for breakfast." They both got up and headed out towards the fire pit.

Rose was with Mel filling up the jugs with stream water and then taking it back to camp. They had about 1 ½ jugs full when Mel asked Rose a question. "Rose, yesterday you said you were used to people not liking you. Why is that?" asked Mel .

"Well, I umm, people didn't like me because they thought I was I was a snobby rich girl because my dad is a CEO of a company. So rumors started and no one wanted anything to do with me. But none of them were true. So I sat by myself at lunch and never had friends and was home alone like all the time because my Dad was working so much and my mom lives in Japan so, basically, I was alone." Said Rose, looking down.

"Oh, Rose. I'm so sorry. I had no idea what you had gone through. If there's anything you ever want to talk to me about I'm here for you. Ok? Secrets are always safe with me." Mel said

"Wait can I tell you something? You have to promise not to tell anyone. I have wanted to tell someone but I knew I couldn't so I'm going to tell you. I'm..I'm.."

"Rose, Mel? You back here" Nathan called.

"I can tell you later" said Rose and she walked back to camp alone once again.

Daley and Miley were collecting firewood while Eric was starting the fire since it had gone out. Miley picked up a piece and Daley said,

"Don't use that, it's wet. It won't work." Miley put the piece down. "So who is Rose and why was she with you guys and where were you going?" asked Daley.

"Well, we were going to Japan for my dad's business trip," lied Miley "and Rose is Lily's cousin who was going to Japan with us to go live with her mom. She wouldn't tell us why but I think it's because her and her dad don't get along. She's different. She is quiet and keeps to herself, Lily has only met her once because she lives in Texas or something. We are from LA."

"You are from LA? Us too! We are all from Los Angelous! Freaky how small this world is." Said Daley.

" We better get back to camp before it gets dark, I'm hungry too. Let's go." Said Daley heading back to camp.

Everyone was gathered around the fire pit. Taylor and Lily were next to each other talking and giggling, Jackson was on the other side of Lily periodically talking to her. Daley, Eric and Miley were together talking the news in LA and other news related stuff, while Rose and Mel sat together next to Nathan and Lex.

"Guys I think we need to congratulate some people for events that happened. Lily learned how to clean and cook a fish today and provided us with our dinner tonight. Miley learned how to start a fire and keep it going thanks to Eric and Daley. And finally Rose learned how to make safe drinking water thanks to Nathan and Mel." Said Lex standing on a log to be heard more.

"I have to say, you guys have learned a lot in the past couple days, let's make a toast," raising our cups made out of coconut, "to Miley, Lilly, and Rose." Announced Nathan.

"Cheers!" We all said and enjoyed the night while it still lasted.
