Ladies and Gentlemen

In my first entry I pointed out that we had "twin and triplet sets" of our friends. Now that I am bringing in more characters, I would like to show who are knew sets are. Keep in mind however, that because of the new characters I had to switch around some previous sets, and some may even be without a "twin"

Alejandra and Diego: Violet
Katie and Ecchi: Seagreen
Xavier, Javier, and Jenny: Gold
Tyler and Derek: Limegreen
Alex and Makaylah: Teal
Braulio and Heather: Cyan

Two days had passed since the Halloween fiasco. We still weren't sure whether or not what had happened was 100% true. We were all human again, and even got back to our everyday lives. We never found Keith stare , who despite having his chest torn on Halloween night seemed fine. In fact, he hardly remembered the fight. Instead of a big bleeding gash, he only had one large dark scar. Why was it everyone seemed fine but Tony? Even Lisa and Peter felt better after sleeping all of the day before. I couldn't understand. He was still laid up in the infirmary. Braulio and Heather and used so much local alevera to help sooth the burns. They wrapped his cuts with the first aid kit we found in Xavier's suitcase, and even gave him aleve which came from my bag. Braulio is convinced that within a few weeks he'll be fine. He could have some burn scars, but he'd heal and be good as new. In the mean time Miranda has been taking over all of his duties. One thing puzzled me more however. Where did Alejandra and the others go? It was as if they vanished into thin air. That staff wouldn't have vanished and taken them with her, would she? No...how could she have. Tony smashed her to bits. I only hoped they were okay.

(ON THE FAR SHORE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND)
Jeny: "Land! Is that really land?!"
*ALEJANDRA COUGHS AS SHE WASHES ONTO THE SHORE*
Diego: "Ouch, ouch, ouch."
Alejandra: "Are you okay Diego?"
*TYLER WASHES ONTO SHORE AND COLLIDES INTO JENNY*
Jenny: "Ouch!"
Tyler: "Whoops, sorry Jenny."
Ecchi: "You all better make some room."
*ECCHI AND KATIE CRAWL ONTO THE SHORE WHILE MAKAYLAH AND ALEX ROLL UP IT*
Makaylah: "I'm so cold..."
Tyler: "Well yeah, its the ocean, in the fall. The water is bound to be cold."
Makaylah: "I need a blanket..."
Tyler: "No, you don't need a blanket, you just want a blanket."
Makaylah: "What?"
Jenny: "Not now you guys. Lets see if we can find shelter."
Katie: "You know, this place looks oddly familiar."
Alex: "How could it? Its a random spit of land in the middle of no where."
Katie: "I know that, but...I don't know...it just seems...like I've seen it before."
Ecchi: "I think you've just been swallowing too much sea water."
Katie: "Oh thanks a lot."

Slowly they began to wonder. As if they couldn't remember a thing that happened two days ago. Some how they had just been placed in the ocean, near the ruins of the cruise ship they once boarded. Diego, who was limping, had to use Alejandra as a crutch since his had been lost at sea. He'd just had his surgury but hadn't fully recovered. He had decided to come with Alejandra to help search for us last week. When they saw on the news that we went missing our friends immediatly took action. They used what little money they had to board a cruise ship heading to Japan (last class sadly). But when the comet had skied over the ship, it caught on fire. Paniced the captain wasn't paying enough attention and the boat crashed into a large boulder. Like the Titanic, only tropical style it sunk. Many died, but they remained and managed to find their way to Dreamer's Land. Since they couldn't remember what happened on Halloween, they yet to know that we were on the same island. Only miles away.

(BACK AT CAMP)
Kiera: "Hey Tiff, where are you headed?"
Me: "To visit Tony."
Kiera: "Again?"
Me: "Well yeah, he was roasted like a chicken. I think he could use some company."
Kiera: "All right. Well if anyone asks, I know where to tell them you went."
Me: "All right."

Even with all the hardships we seemed to be slightly benefitting. The camp was looking more and more like a town. Kiera and Thomas had built a prison, where Keith now stayed being watched by Javier. They improved my courtroom, and even made benches, tables, and ladders. Derek, Lisa, and Peter found a way to make shampoo and soap out of herbals and bits of animal fat (I tried to ignore that ingrediant), and even made filtering systems for the shower so that we didn't pollute our fresh water. This was all progress in my eyes. So that even if we were never found, we might be able to live peacfully after all. Unfortunatly, there were always those mishaps...like Tony's. He was still lying in the wooden bed that him and Miranda had made only a week before. With a matress made of the netting, and stuffed with grass and such. He looked tired, and I didn't blame him. He was still wrapped in bandages, and every now and again Heather would bring his meals, while Braulio gave him more herbal rememdies from Lisa and Peter's new garden. At least he was recovering. We hadn't had a single death yet, and I wasn't planning on constructing a graveyard any time soon.

Me: "Hey, how you doing?"
Tony: "Been better..."
Me: "I know. But you'll be okay soon. Braulio has guarenteed that. You just have to be patient."
Tony: "I know."
*I LAUGH A LITTLE*
Tony: "Whats so funny?"
Me: "I'm just remembering how you practically made me wet myself by flying so high the other day."
*TONY LAUGHS*
Me: "Its not funny."
Tony: "Hey, even you were laughing a moment ago."
Me: "True, but gosh if I didn't know any better I'd say you were speeding around just to see me scared."
Tony: "I was."
Me: "You jerk."
*TONY LAUGHS*
Tony: "It was worth it. Throwing Rei at Keith felt even better though"
Me: "Hey, be nice. But I admit I'll never forget her expression."
Tony: "Yeah."
*I SIGH*
Tony: "Whats wrong?"
Me: "I can't help but wonder what happened to the others. You know, Alejandra, Diego, Katie. They just vanished."
Tony: "Who knows?"
Me: "I hope they're all right."
*LISA ENTERS THE ROOM*
Lisa: "Hey sugar cookie!"
Me: "Hey fortune cookie."
Lisa: "I didn't know you two were in here. I brought some more herbs for Braulio, Heather, and Derek. Next I get to see Snicker Doodle and give her, her cooking herbs."
Me: "Oh a mail woman, gardener, and scavenger, impressive."
Lisa: "Oh yeah. Triple threat!"
*TONY, LISA, AND I LAUGH*
Lisa: "Yeah, well I best get going. Rei can't make lunch without any materials."
Me: "See ya fortune cookie."
Lisa: "Not if I see you first."
*I LAUGH*
(OVER NEAR CAVE)
Lisa: "Snicker Doodle, oh Snicker Doodle!"
Rei: "Ooo its my princess. (SAYS IN GODFATHER LIKE ACCENT) You got the stuff?"
Lisa: "Oh yeah, and its fresh."
Rei: "This pleases me. Now I won't have to make Peter sleep with the fishes"
*LISA LAUGHS*
Lisa: "Well I have to go. Peter's a bum so I have to go do the real work."
Rei: "Oh yeah, power to the woman!"

Off Lisa went to do her normal searching. She had probably seen more of the island than anyone else. Today she decided to branch further out. Past the swampland, and into what she believed to be something like a forest. Surely there had to be more over there. Herbs, animals, and maybe even a couple pretty shells to add to her growing collection. She had given up on finding more people...but little did she know was that maybe she gave that hope up too soon...
