Sweet bacon wrapped baby Jesus it was hot.

When I first woke up - regained consciousness, whatever you want to call it - it had still been dark outside, so it had been fairly cool.

Now, it felt like we were in an oven.

The sun was high up in the sky, telling me it had to be around noon, and beating down on us without mercy.

I couldn't tell what was sweat and what was water anymore. All of us were tired. We tried taking turns on the suitcases, but Edward and Jasper were too heavy to be on them and still float, so we let Nessie stay on one and me and Alice switched off on the second one.

Poor Edward, he was already starting to turn red from the sun, his eyes had dark circles under them from not sleeping all night and he looked so tired. I finally told him to rest his upper body on the suitcase and I gripped his arms to help keep him on it, trying to give him an opportunity to rest a little.

Jasper had mention something about sharks a couple hours ago… Yeah, we haven't talked much after that.

"I wanna go home." Nessie cried, breaking my heart.

I wanna go home too, sweetie.

"I know baby, but we can't." I said. What else could I tell her? I never thought I'd have to comfort her after a shipwreck, so I didn't have much time to prepare, you know?

At first, we figured at least one of the crew members had gotten to the radio to notify someone that the ship was about to go down, so maybe there would be someone coming to rescue us in a few hours.

That had been a good fourteen hours ago. At least.

"What are we going to do if no one comes to rescue us?" Alice asked.

"The best we can hope for is that we come across some form of land." Jasper said quietly.

"Then what?" I asked.

Edward groaned.

"What is it?" I asked him, concerned he was hurt or something

"Before the trip… I was teasing Alice about packing too much stuff and I said 'It's not going to be Gilligan's Island.'" He groaned again.

"It's going to be Gilligan's Island, isn't it?" I asked Jasper, catching on to what Edward was trying to say.

"If we're lucky, yes it's going to be something like that." He told me. "Probably a little worse."

I muffled the curse words that wanted to fly out of my mouth by burying my face in my arms.

"What about food and water?" Alice asked.

No one had an answer for that.

Well, at least now I didn't have to worry about anyone finding me.
