"That would be her." he whispered to Gwen. "You know, all of a sudden I have this urge to go help her with her tent. Nice talking to you, Gwendolynnie."
He stood, and headed over to Heidi. "Well, howdy there, Princess Perv. Need help?" he asked, standing by her almost-a-shelter.

I smiled over at Cyrus and the nickname he gave me. "Actually, I seem to be in desperate need of a," I paused for effect as I gave him a mischevious smile, "vine."

He smirked. "Well, I give you some help with that, Heidi-of-the-hills." he replied, glancing around. He faked reaching for his zipper, and then turned, jogging off. A few seconds later, he returned with a large vine, the one she had been using. "Here we go. Good size, thick enough, and be careful, the sap is pretty sticky."

She followed Cyrus' gaze to where a woman with long curly hair seemed to be struggling with her tent. And before she could even summon up a sarcastic retort, he was off to help her. "Right...bye then," she muttered to herself.
A commercial about dancing with cereal? She furrowed her brow, shuffling through her mental inventory of TV memories (which was embarrassingly vast) but with no luck. She finally relented and shook her head, shifting her focus to a black "Han Shot First" t-shirt. Ah, finally someone with taste, she thought, gingerly folding it and setting it aside.

For a moment I thought he was going to call my bluff and I almost lost my composure. I watched as he ran off, but looked away when I realized I'd been enjoying the view. I turned my concentration on to getting the last pole in the right place and he'd returned soon after, with a colorful description of the vine.
I snickered, just barely holding back from laughing as I took the vine. "Yes, but is it too thick to tie into a knot?" Now I did laugh. "Okay, I need some help here. Can you hold this in place while I tie it? Or are you better with knots? It's up to you, you're the one doing me a favor here."

"Ouch. Well, we could try, just grab a hold of it, nice and tight-" he broke out laughing, barely able to go on. "Well, you know, it's my vine, I know how to tie it, darlin'!"
He grabbed a hold of it, giving one end to Heidi, and started to tie it to the shelter, putting it into a knot.

I held the pole in place as he tied the tarp into place. I only knew one way of tying a knot, so I was intrigued at the fancy one he did. "Where'd you learn to tie a knot like that?" I gave the pole a little shake and it wobbled a bit. "Could you press this down deeper, please?" I added. I smiled again, feeling a bit bad for asking another favor.

"Sure, yeah." he said, grabbing the pole and putting his strength into digging it deep into the sand. "And the knot, well...I was just kind of a camper, when I was a critter. My uncle taught me."

"Thanks," I said, smiling up at him again. "I owe you one." I wiped my hands on my jeans and my stomach began to growl. "Oh, that's cute," I said laughing a bit as I put a hand on my stomach. "I haven't had anything to eat yet. I hear there's some fruit in the jungle. Fancy taking a stroll into Jurassic Jungle with me? I'm kind of a wimp," I admitted as I looked at the jungle.

"I would consider it a pleasure. I'm a wimp too, so if anything goes wrong, I can leap into your arms Scooby-style and we can run somewhere." he replied, smiling at her.

WALTER The old man continued to walk around the camp, carrying various bags around him arms. Outside of his shelter were several empty pieces of luggage, but there was no way to tell what he had inside. He grunted as he through out another large suitcase into the beach, rubbing the sand off his hands afterwords. He was only wearing a sleveless t-shirt, suspenders and his slacks. One would barely make out a tattoo on the upper part of his right arm.

"Oh," I said, sounding disheartened and managing to keep a straight face. I even threw in a sigh for good measure. "Well that just won't work. I'll go and find a brave guy then. Thanks anyway." I quickly turned around and started walking away because I just couldn't keep a straight face anymore. God it was so hard not to laugh out loud, especially at the expression on his face.

~Sarah~ She was just so adorable that I couldn't help myself. I knelt down in front of her and gave her a hug. "Sure thing, swinkle. And let's not forget our promise to keep an eye on each other." I gave Mr. Floppers a kiss then got up. "I'll see you around."Sarah watched Heidi leave and head over to her tent, she really did hope that Heidi would come back and tuck her in. With a sigh she headed to the Waters edge, dipping her feet in the cool waves. "Mr. Floppers, one day we'll go home and see daddy Surf again. Maybe even one day i could be a champion surfer like daddy, what ya think?" The Child placed Mr. Floppers next to her ear and listened. "I love you too Mr. Floppers, and no i wouldn't get hurt. I be as careful as i could be, yes i would." ~Mr. Floppers~ "I remember the last time you said that, Hurt yourself a whole bunch." Mr. Floppers did watch the waves thou, he almost got lost in the ocean before. When little Sarah though he said wave, but he didn't say wave. Mr. Floppers said cave, there was a cave far off and he was tying to point it out to Sarah, but nothing. She was Two and a half, and well....over Mr. Floppers went. Under water adventure

"Well that just won't work. I'll go and find a brave guy then. Thanks anyway."
"Woah, woah, woah. I'm brave!" he said quickly, running after her. No, no, no. No, no. She had to stay. "I....just wanted an excuse to leap into your arms! I...I fight crocodiles and particularly large house spiders on a daily basis! I'm a manly man, I do...I do weights! I'm brave, I'm qualified. Is it the tight pants? They make me look gay, don't they?"

After standing around for a few minutes, Sonny decided to head to the crash site, which meant cutting through another camp. As he walked he thought it wouldn't do any harm to ask around. As his eyes scanned the people he saw a tall man with a square jaw and a woman with long curly hair chatting. Rubbing his chin he walked up to them "You two look like you know what's goin' on around here, any word yet about a rescue attempt?"

"Let me guess." he said, as he walked over to a young woman sorting through clothes. "Volunteers are scarce?" He crouched down to her level, and gave a warm smile.

I started busting up laughing, "Oh my gosh," I said between laughs. "You're such an easy mark!" I laughed some more, holding my sides. "Oh my gosh, I haven't laughed that hard in so long. You should have seen your face. Oh man." I wiped away some tears of laughter and then gave him a big grin, trying my best to look innocent and angelic.
Someone approached us and I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly, trying to get my composure back as I listened to the guy.
His question brought me back to reality and I turned serious. "I don't know," I said with concerned look. "I know some people went off and found the tranceiver, but they couldn't get out a signal. I think someone is trying to fix it. Other than that, I haven't heard anything." Probably because I'd been in my own little world, mentally blocking the situation we were in and trying to view it as some type of vacation. It was my way of dealing with the situation and keeping a smile on my face.

"Oh my gosh, I haven't laughed that hard in so long. You should have seen your face. Oh man."
"Well, at least I'm making you laugh." he said, smiling.
"I don't know," I said with concerned look. "I know some people went off and found the tranceiver, but they couldn't get out a signal. I think someone is trying to fix it. Other than that, I haven't heard anything."
"The Iraqi guy is fixing the transciever." he said. "They're going on a hike to higher ground. A bunch of them. The Iraqi guy, a young guy, and a pretty girl. They're trying to get a signal out, I think." He jabbed his finger in the direction of where he'd seen the pretty girl, Kate, go last.

Nodding he folded his arms "Yeah, I heard about the tranceiver, figured since we've been here three days it was about time I got offmy ass and did something" he scratched his cheek and sighed "Wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have to ration everything" he eyed the square jawed man and then back to the curly haired woman "The name's Sonny by the way"

I listened to the both of them. This was all news to me. People had to be crazy to go on a hike in that jungle. I was nowhere near that brave. The man introduced himself as Sonny.
"I'm Heidi," I said with a smile as I held out my hand.
