Rosie: I know that someone is here.

Jack: I'd like to say the disclaimer this time

Rosie: oh, sure thing

Jack: Okay Rosie doesn't own the boys, William Golding does. She does own the girls though.

Simon: Also she would like to thank one of her favorite readers/reviewers. So Hammsters thank you so much for helping this story move forward along with everyone who reads and reviews. Rosie wouldn't have the heart to keep updating this if she didn't get so much encouragement from you guys. Also thank you for the compliment Hammsters, I appreciate it.

Rosie: Aww, well you heard him, thank you so much. I'm glad you like the story so far. So let's get on with it!


Kimberly POV

I awoke on the sand as the sun was just shining on me. Sitting up I looked around at all the still sleeping forms huddled around the shelters. It made me feel happy to see them all safe. It was in this moment that I no longer thought only of the girls as my family, but the boys as well. I smiled to myself as I stood up to go get some fruit for breakfast. As I walked around I saw Charlie sleeping next to Maurice. Well more like curled up around him. Izzy was holding hands with Simon and Ralph as the three slowly awoke together. Everything seemed so perfect, so right.

"Hey Kimberly. Um, I'm sorry about what I had said. When you lot got here that is" I heard someone say. I turned around to see Jack standing there looking down at his feet. He looked so modest and humble. With a chuckle I reached out and moved some of his firey hair out of his face. "It's alright Jack. We're used to it by now. But thank you anyway." I replied softly, not wanting to wake anyone. I reached up to grab some papaya off of a tree only to have Jack grab it for me. "So what are you doing?" He asked handing me the fruit. I reached up for another one before answering. "I'm getting breakfast. We should have fruit for breakfast, fruit and fish for lunch and fish for dinner. Or if we're lucky we could have some pork instead. Could you maybe help me. Only pick the ripe ones though alright?" I said giving him my most dazzling smile.

Jack jumped up into the tree and started pulling fruit off and throwing them down for me to catch. After about eight of them were tossed down I asked for him to stop so we could move on to another tree. A few of the others were now awake and helping. In the end we had eight papayas nine coconuts ten mangoes and a dozen bananas. Plenty enough for all of us. We all dug in to breakfast before Jack took half his hunter to go search for pigs while the others went with me and a few other girls to go fish. Mouse and Piggy watched the kiddies and the rest were to help on the shelters.

We were living in perfect unity. Everyone was doing what they could do to help the group. I was teaching the boys what to do for spear fishing. It's a lot different from regular fishing so many of them didn't quite understand. "Now you have to stay completely still. If you move then the fish will know you're a threat. Also you have to watch carefully. You only get one chance to strike so aim true and make sure that it's close enough. Also don't expect instant success, if you miss the first few times that's fine. Just think on what you did wrong and try to improve." I said seriously. I had always been good at commanding others, and the boys, who had come to finally respect us enough to at least listen to me. The group nodded and headed out into the water.

After many hours of this I had already caught four fish. I got out of the water and went to go relax on the beach. Standing in one position for so long can be quite tiring. I turned to see Alex starting to cook the few fish that we had caught. Charlie, Robert, Elyssa and Maurice had each caught a fish in time for lunch and the kiddies were climbing the trees for fruit. It was about time for lunch so Robert and Maurice had been sent to get the other hunters. I looked to see Izzy underneath one of the trees while Ralph climbed up after a kiddie. It was nice to see them helping. Just like little families. Wait, what, hold on just what?

"You wanted us back Kimberly?" I heard Jack say from behind me startling me off of my train of thought. I turned toward him and smiled. "Yeah, it's lunch time. You guys should take a break from your work and eat. And don't worry, Alex is taking food up to Sam and Eric" I said softly. Jack stared at me for awhile before turning away. I looked at him curiously before turning toward the kiddies. They all seemed to be eating happily. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Roger walking over to Mouse. He really seemed to like her, which was nice because Mouse didn't have many friends. Well she did have me and Izzy, but she'd never been close to any boys before now.

"So Kimberly. Do you want to eat with me?" Jack said taking my hand. I looked up at him and blushed slightly. He seemed to be trying more to be a nice guy. He smiled kindly at me and I couldn't help but want to reach out and tangle my fingers in his hair. It was just so wild and firey. I grabbed his hair with my free hand and started combing my fingers through it. He blushed this time and looked down. "Um, what are you doing?" He asked. "Your hair's a mess. I'm trying to fix it. You're a proper english boy. you should look like a proper english gentleman." I said knowing that it was a total lie but hoping he would believe it. He nodded and turned around to start walking. I smiled and followed him happily, still brushing his hair out with my fingers. I looked and caught sight of Mouse. I smiled at her as I walked off. God I'm so happy right now.


So this was the fifth chapter. I'm now promoting JackxKimberly. Yes I think I'm totally going to write that now. Next is Mouse and hopefully she won't get raped. Now I'm sorry it's been so long. I was busy. But I require at least three reviews before I start on the next chapter so to all you silent readers just send something. Even if it's just that you say you read it.
