A.N.: DON'T KILL ME AGAIN! School is always in the way of my writing and if it were up to me and not the government, I'd be writing from eight AM to three PM, but it isn't so... You know what's depressing? A is the fact that I've read practically read all the good LOTF girl on island fics. There are more, but I just can't get in to those. I have no idea why and B is the fact that most people writing a 'romance' girl on island fic pick Ralph as the love interest (I STILL LOVE YOU THOUGH RALPH :D) This girl is team Jack.

Anyways, on with the story...

Chapter 5- Courageous Heart

Sera

I was lain up for the rest of my day, as ordered by Jack. He suggested I call my mum. I took his advice. I was curled up on a sofa in sitting room after all of us and Zoe finished Resident Evil a few minutes ago. Now we were munching on snacks like Turkish delight and other sweets and there was some hot coco involved.

My legs were regaining feeling in them after being numbed most likely by morphine. I hadn't made an idiot of myself just yet by falling on my face, and I was counting on the fact that I wouldn't. I took out my Droid and dialed my mum. 'Flo Danton," she answered.

"Hey Mum, it's me," I said.

"Oh honey, it's so nice to hear from you. Aura was asking if you were okay." Aura was my twenty nine year old older sister who was married to a guy named Samuel. Sam, as I called him, was as nerdy as I am (in a good way of course). We watched Star Wars together to bond before my sister got married. They were married now and had a baby named Peirce Serge. He was maybe five now.

"Is Aerie okay?" I asked, using my nickname for my sister.

"All three of them are just fine. I'm on the phone with her now,' Mum told me, "do you want me to put her on so we can do three way?'

"Sure."

"Ceca, are you okay? Mum told me about the plane crash and the island you all were on and how you broke your arm."

"Dislocated," I corrected, laughing.

"We're all so glad you're okay,' my sister said, 'Pierce says hello to you and he asked when you're coming back."

"Tell him his Auntie Ceca said she'll be back soon."

"I will."

"Aerie have you ever been really loopy because you have been doped up for a surgery?" I asked.

'That's how I felt for hours after I had Pierce," she said. I laughed. I did recall that.

'That was funny," I recalled.

"Hey, Ceca, I have to go. Pierce needs something. I'll talk to you soon.'

After hanging up with my mother and sister, I felt tons better. At least they were safe somewhere. I got a refill of my mango smoothie (I wasn't really in the mood for coco. I needed something to jumpstart me). Apparently, there was a Temple Run war going on. The boys were shouting in excitement over beating each other. Guys.

"Pathetic," I said after Ralph announced his high score of twenty million.

'What's your high score?" he asked.

"Sixty million," I informed him, 'get owned."

As the Temple Run war went on, I fell asleep. I felt really good as I slept. Only after I awoke I was informed that I had talked in my sleep. 'You were telling this story about a girl named Dianna and how you and she were running from rabid squirrels," Ralph said.

'Huh?" I had no memory of this.

"Yeah, swear it happened. Anyway, you wanna another refill?' My smoothie was out again.

"I've got it," Jack said and he went back to refill it. I smiled up at him. By this point, having no real use of my legs was really getting to me.

I recovered full use of my legs by the time we were called to dinner. The Naval officer (who was named Sonny) called us to a dining room that seemed like an oval in shape and had round tables that were clothed in white and gold plates, cups, and silverware were set neatly on them. "Buffet tonight," Sonny said, "help yourselves."

Was food just a catalyst to increase my good mood?

There was so much food. Steak, pork, chicken, beef, potatoes every which way, carrots, peas, any kind of bean one desired, even broccoli. Romaine was on my right as I filled my plate. She was filling hers with huge portions. I won't lie: after what they did to her, she needed to put on a few pounds. "Hungry?' I laughed.

"So hungry I could go savage."

"I'm with you," I said as we walked to the table together. Romaine and I probably looked like shit in comparison to Rochelle in her snow white yet still elegant pajamas and Zoe in a long dark green shirt and black jeans. Heck, even Romaine topped my look in her simple Florence + the Machine tee and jeans. I looked like a pack rat in my clothes. Being laid up all day obviously doesn't do me justice. Not to be vain or anything.

"Romaine and I have decided we are going savage from hunger," I announced.

"Brave Heart Savages," Simon said.

Of course, I, being the total nerd I was, noticed a potential Braveheart movie reference in this last statement. "Freedom!" I held up my fork.

Everyone laughed. My timing is good, I must say. 'What movie is that from?" Roche asked.

Everyone, including Zoe, stared amazed. "You're kidding, right? You've never seen Braveheart?" Jack was amazed here, and I sort of was too.

'That's the next movie we watch," Jared said. Everyone nodded in unison.

A.N.- I know there is SO DARN MUCH of Sera/Jack in here. I just love them. Butttt I'm trying to include the other couples in here so they don't feel left out. POLL TIME: Which couple (Jack and Sera sadly excluded) do y'all as readers wanna see more of?

-Ralph and Roche

-Simon and Romaine

-Jared and Zoe (this is more friendship though)
