"Chelsea. Chelsea. Chelsea, wake up."

I groaned and glanced at the alarm clock. I had to blink a few times before I believed the time at which Julia was waking me up.

"Julia... It's 6AM..."

"Yup. Everyone on the island gets up at 6AM. Except the little kids, of course."

I rolled over and pulled the purple blanket over my head. "Then I'm gonna be a little kid today."

"C'mon Chels, you have to get used to it at some point! It's like, island protocol or something."

"Ugh, fine. I won't be able to get back to sleep now, anyway."

Julia smiled in satisfaction.

I got out of bed and went into the bathroom. Heh heh. My hair looks insane. I quickly brushed through it, then brushed my teeth. With a different brush, of course. After that, I put on my usual denim shorts, yellow tank top, orange short-sleeved cardigan, and red bandana. I love my bandana. I have worn it every day since my adoptive father gave it to me.

Flashback

"Come here, sweetheart. I got you something while I was away!"

I rushed over to him and he sat me on his lap.

"What is it, Daddy?" I asked excitedly.

"Look inside the bag!"

I reached in and pulled out a red bandana. "Thank you, thank you, thank you! Red is my favorite color!"

"You're welcome, sweetheart."

End of Flashback

I love that memory. Of all the memories I wish I could just forget, not that one. He was like a real Dad to me, mostly because back then I thought he was my real Dad.

I smiled at my appearance and exited the bathroom. Just in time to bump into Vaughn, yet again. Chelsea, you damn klutz.

"We keep meeting like this," I said awkwardly.

He looked at me, rolled his eyes, shook his head ever so slightly, and walked off.

At least he didn't stomp, maybe I am getting somewhere. Well, he just bought himself a one-way ticket to me following him all day.

I've been following Vaughn for about 15 minutes now, and discovered that he likes to hang out on Meadow Island. Why, I do not know. It kinda just seems like a blank island to me, other than that shrine. Although, now that I look at it, it is rather beautiful.

"Are you following me?" Vaughn turned around and questioned me as I walked a few feet behind him. He searched my eyes, probably trying to find out if I'm a crazed stalker.

"Well, you see, I realized that I forgot to tell you my own name, so I thought you might want to know it."

"What is it?"

"Chelsea Wilson"

"Ok. Are you gonna stop following me now?"

Ok? That's it? No 'Nice to officially meet you, Chelsea'? That's like when Princess Leia told Han Solo she loved him and all he said was 'I know'. ... Wow, I just sounded like a dork.

"Probably not. Any more questions you wanna ask?"

"No, John Wayne."

"Says the guy in the cowboy get-up."

He huffed and walked away, with me behind him.

"Hey, Vaughn, why does this island have nothing on it?"

"It's used for festivals."

"Oooohhhh, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up, buddy."

"Buddy?"

"Buddy."

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "Great. I have a stalker," he mumbled.
