Rosie: Alright since I know somebody is going to try to steal the disclaimer I'm not even gonna bother...um hello, where are you guys?

Roger: sorry but everyone is busy right now.

Rosie: What about Mouse and Piggy, they're never busy.

Roger: Oh, but they are.

Rosie: Tell me what you did or so help me god-

Samneric: Rosie doesn't own us or the other boys we belong to William Golding, She owns all the girls though so no stealing.

Rosie: Oh thank god you two are here.

Alex: Yep now on with the story.

Izzy POV

As I approached Simon and Ralph, who were attaching a roof to the previous shelter, I couldn't help but smile. The two were helping me with making shelters for the kiddies. Four other girls were working on another shelter while three watched the kiddies. Kimberly was fishing with Alex and Mouse was off somewhere. I handed Ralph some more vines and started working on the roof for our second shelter, binding the materials together to strengthen it as well as to prevent leaks. With a small smile I bound it to the rest of the roof I had been working on.

"Are you sure we should put the roof together first and then put it on the shelter?" Ralph asked as he stepped back from the shelter that they had just finished. I nodded. "Kimberly's brother would go on survival treks all the time. He taught us this trick a long time ago" I said as I tied another bundle. Simon came over to sit next to me on the sand as Ralph finished testing the structure. Ralph then sat on the other side of Simon. I smiled at the two boys and brushed some hair out of my face. I tied the whole roof together and grinned widely as I stood up and placed the roof on the shelter. I grabbed some more vines and tied the roof to the structure. With an over dramatic sigh I collapsed back to the ground. It had been a hard day but the three of us finished the shelters and nothing could bring them down. I felt so proud of myself really.

"So what do we do now?" Ralph asked. I looked over at the lagoon and pulled on my shirt which was clinging to my skin. Simon seemed to notice this and stood up. "How about we all take a break and swim for awhile?" He suggested. I nodded vigorously to this plan and Ralph agreed as well. I ran straight for the water with the other two right at my heels as I plunged into the cool blue lagoon. God did the water feel good against my hot skin. I was sure I had sun burn but, hey, who here hadn't gotten it at least somewhere. I went under the water holding my breath as long as possible while running my hands through my hair. Finally when I had to resurface I could see Kimberly on the beach. She had a clear look of worry on her face.

I turned to Ralph and Simon before swimming, and eventually walking, over to Kimberly. I pushed my dripping wet hair out of my face and stared at her in concern. "Do you know where Mouse is. I was sure she'd be with you but when Alex talked to Piggy he said she never went back to you guys. I was wondering if she came back after he left but I'm getting worried. Mouse isn't one to just wander off" Kimberly said looking around.

I was about to say something when in the distance I could see Mouse with someone else. I took off running, gaining speed as I flew across the sand as fast as possible in my wet condition. As I neared I could tell that the person was Roger. I stopped nearly running right into the two of them. I grinned hugely at Mouse who just stared back at me nervously. "Hey guys, what's up?" I asked as soon as I had caught my breath. Mouse looked up at Roger, as if unsure of what to say. Finally Roger looked at me and let go of her hand.

"Mouse had collapsed on the sand near the forest. I found her there and was helping her with some things." He said confidently. I nodded and grabbed Mouse's wrist only for her to cringe away from me. I stared at her confused but she just pulled her arms in toward her chest and watched me nervously. Okay there had to be something wrong with her. I looked over at Roger who just smiled warmly and took Mouse's hand and started dragging her off again. She stared back at me as if wanting to call for help but yet unable to.

"Oh I guess Mouse is making friends. That's cool I guess" Kimberly said as I walked back over to her. Simon had come out of the water and turned to me, unsure of what to say. I shrugged unsure of what to do at the moment either. This wasn't something that Mouse was likely to do. It just didn't seem right. Especially when she cringed when I reached out for her. It just doesn't add up.

I turned to see the sun starting to sink which meant we would have to start eating dinner soon. with a sigh I walked over to the pile of fire wood the kiddies had collected. Just then Jack and the other hunters stumbled out of the forest with nothing to show for they're efforts. Fortunately Kimberly and Alex had caught enough fish for everyone to have something to eat. Jack stopped and watched me pick up the firewood to bring over to the little fire pit some of the other girls had made. I placed the wood in the fire pit then picked up the stones next to it. They would start a spark when you clacked then together a certain way. Just as I got them to spark Alex came over with the fish. She sat down with the spitted fish and put them over the fire that was now roaring. Pretty soon the kiddies started over at the smell of the fish.

I started pulling some away from the fire when they were ready and cutting them up for the kiddies. Mom always said the youngest eat first so I lived by that rule even here. After all the fish was cooked and everyone had been fed, a few of us went to swim in the lagoon for awhile while Alex made the trek, with some fish, to go see Sam and Eric. It wasn't that bad of a day today. But we were all just hoping to get home as soon as possible.

"Hey Izzy" I heard Simon say from behind me. I turned to see him stand in the water about a yard away. "What's up Simon?" I asked. He sighed and looked up at the sky. "Well since you girls said that the shelters all go to the littluns I was wondering if maybe you wanted to sleep with me over that away? You know cause it gets lonely being by yourself" He said unsure of himself. I giggled and walked over to him taking his hand. "That would be wonderful Simon." I said giving him my best smile. He smiled back as I took his hand and we walked off together. This was a great day.

So this was the fourth chapter. Started writing at two in the morning and finished at four. thank you my reviewers for being my inspiration for writing again. And as for Roger and Mouse well, you'll have to wait and find out what happens. Anyway review, it's what helps me write. Ask question, tell random stuff that you think I could improve on or that you really liked or even just say I read it and liked it. So no reason not to review. I expect at least one review before I put out a new chapter, really that's all I need. So be kind and review. It would make me feel so honored if you took the time to do that for me.
