Bella smiled, "I've had those days alot. It's nice to meet you, Heidi."
Trying to gain control over her shyness seemed to be working, she felt alot happier around Gwen and Heidi and her awkwardness seemed to subside and acceptance from the others dominated her.

"Yeah, I've had that feeling for...oh, ever since we crashed," Gwen agreed, casually. "Listen, Heidi, I hate to impose, but as I've known you for all of five minutes," she smiled pleasantly, "our Bella is in need of a shelter. Do you know of anyone who might have room for her? I'd offer but I just found myself with a new roommate this afternoon. Turns out Raymond, another one of the flight attendants, survived. He's catching up on his beauty sleep at my place now."

"Just gonna give her a little warning is all."
"Fine" James muttered to himself as Ana stormed off.
What are you doing, getting yourself involved in situations that don't concern you? Hasn't that caused you enough grief recently?
That was different spoke up a smaller, more honest voice from the back of his mind.
He considered following her for a moment before deciding against it; Ana clearly needed time to cool off and James knew when not to push his luck.
"It's none of my business anyway" he muttered to himself, spotting Boone in the distance and heading off in his direction.

HEIDI
"Oh good, it's not just me then," I said in exaggerated relief.
"Another survivor? That's great news," I said sincerely. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear as I listened then thought about Bella's situation. "Well, like I said, I haven't met many people so I'm not sure who else may have room but," I looked at Bella, "you're more than welcome to bunk in my shelter. I'll be staying close to little Sarah," I waved a hand toward the tent behind me, "so you'd have the place to yourself tonight. Tomorrow, I can give you a hand setting up your own shelter if you'd like."

BELLA
"Thank you so much, i won't be any trouble."
HEIDI
"No problem at all. Just try not to have too wild of a party and make sure your friends don't accidentally burn the place down," I teased, hoping that some good old fashioned humor would help Bella to feel more at ease around me.
My smile faltered for a moment at the mention of my keeping little Sarah out of trouble when I'd had a major failure that day. My expression turned serious as I informed her of what had happened. "She'd gone out for a swim, got caught in a current I'm guessing." I shook my head. "I barely got to her in time. It was the scariest damn thing I've ever experiences. Well, apart from the plane crash. And that thing knocking down trees in the jungle." I couldn't help the small laugh that bubbled to the surface from the fear and scary uncertainty momentarily getting the best of me. "The three most scariest moments of my life all within the past four days."
After quickly taking a breath to compose myself so as to avoid losing control and ending up laughing like a lunatic followed by fits of tears, I continued, softening my features back into more of the positive and cheerful expression I usually wore. "She's doing just fine now. Sleeping away and tossing and fidgeting," I shrugged a shoulder. "I'm no expert but I think that's normal because when I was little, I used to wake up in the morning and find myself turned completely around and a few times, on the floor with the blankets and I couldn't for the life of me figure how I'd ended up there," I admitted with a giggle of embarrassment. "Guess that's because of all the energy kids have. But now, I sometimes wake up in the same position I went to sleep in and fixing the bed takes all of ten seconds." I sighed as I stretched my back from left to right trying to work the kinks out of my sore muscles then did the same with my neck. "God I miss my nice, comfy bed back home. And decent pillows, not the small, square rocks that planes pass off as pillows. Think I'll add that on the suggestions card somewhere between 'not crashing' and 'padding on corners of trolleys so it doesn't hurt as much when they hit your elbow'."

Gwen smiled at Heidi's acceptance of Bella and offer of a shelter to her. And since Heidi's shelter was beside Gwen's, it gave her a perfectly legitimate excuse to find out why Ana had been headed there.
"Thank you so much, i won't be any trouble."
"Oh, don't worry. Our Heidi's managed to keep little Sarah out of trouble since we got here, so looking after you should be a cakewalk," she remarked to Bella. Turning her attention back to Heid, she inquired, "How's she doing, by the way? Jasmine said she got into some trouble on the beach earlier."

BOONE
"You look like hell, by the way."
"Yeah thanks Shannon," he said sarcastically. He stretched his arm and yawned. He then brushed the sand off his pants. "I must've fallen asleep," he heard the marshal groaning in the distance, the sound sent a chill down Boone's spine. He figured that if they don't get rescued soon, they'd all end up like that.

RUBY
*Ruby exits her shelter F3*
Ruby walked out of her shelter to see Shannon and Boon she saw the cold look on his face and the fear ii his eyes
"Don't worry, he'll be fine"
She held her hand out to greet him
"Ruby, I'm a...was a student nurse before I ended up here, I would help out but Jack seems to know what he's doing, that's why'll he be fine!"
She gave him a confident smile, the first one since she arrived
"This your girlfriend, yep I remember her ,sounded like a foghorn when the plane went down, if that don't draw the rescue boats in then I don't know what will" she joked
"No offense!" she said looking at Shannon

"This your girlfriend, yep I remember her sounded like a foghorn when the plane went down, if that don't draw the rescue boats in then I don't know what will"
She crossed her arms and frowned down at the upstart brunette. "Gee, I'm sorry I was too traumatized by the violent fall from 30,000 feet to rattle off a sonnet or something. My bad. And maybe you should get a refund from your nursing school because that..." she said, pointing over to Jack's tent, "...is not the sound of 'fine'."
She turned back to Boone. "And how could you sleep with all that moaning? I wish he would just die already," she huffed.

"Listen, buy the sounds of it he'll be on his way out soon, I don't really know what's going on but he's lost a lot af blood, But I wouldn't go wishing death upon people just now yet because you don't know who may be listening...Sorry about the whole screaming thing I was just trying to make conversation, So is he your boyfriend?"
Ruby asked curiously with a grin on her face, Shannon reminded her of her friend , Janey, a bit, a bit more brattish but still a bit of a colourful character

((OOC: Whoa, Heidi, ya' confused me back there.))
"God I miss my nice, comfy bed back home. And decent pillows, not the small, square rocks that planes pass off as pillows. Think I'll add that on the suggestions card somewhere between 'not crashing' and 'padding on corners of trolleys so it doesn't hurt as much when they hit your elbow'."
"Well, you wouldn't get any argument from me on either count. I've had more trolley-induced bruises than I can count," she said. "And thank you for taking care of Sarah. I'll keep an eye on this one," she added, nodding to Bella, "since I'll be just next door. Shall we?" Gwen started off in the direction of Heidi's shelter.

"Oh, so the whole 'he'll be fine' thing was just another useful line you learned in nurse school. Yeah, your empty assurances are a big help," she retorted. She glanced over at Boone. "And no, he's my brother."

RUBY "Oh well I would use my 'bedside manner lines' to draw up a likeness between the two but to be frank there isn't any, Things will take care of themselves or Dr. Jack will, All we have to do is concentrate on what's going on here, So I've missed out on a lot, er, Shannon, I'm guessing, So can you fill me in?"
Ruby glanced up at Shannon, she knew that she's be a bit of cow and it could take a while before they make good conversation, but she knew once she had made friends on the island she'd be one step closer to fitting in around here.
"You know what that couple, you know the blonde one and her stallion of a boyfriend (Nikki & Paulo) their looking pretty shadey to me, they always seem to be going off somewhere."
Ruby knew that one of the only ways to fit in with Boone & Shannon (Shannon especially) is to give her something to talk about and maybe all that time she spent alone wondering had payed off, Ruby gave a loud sigh, before making another attempt at conversation
"This Island's pretty weird isn't it, Do you think we were meant to come here like fate and all that?"

"This Island's pretty weird isn't it, Do you think we were meant to come here like fate and all that?"
"Uh, 'weird' doesn't even begin to cover it," she answered, a cautionary glance from Boone reminding her to keep her mouth shut about the whole 16-year French transmission thing as well as the close encounter with the polar bear.
"And I was only on that plane because Boone likes to think he always know what's best for me," she claimed, with a pointed glare at her stepbrother.

RUBY
Ruby may of been naïve at times, but she was certainly not stupid she saw the glance between Shannon & Boone.
"Well surely it's nice to have someone around, someone that cares about you, I mean I no absolutely no one here well apart from Rose and I'm not exactly in her good books after the way I treated her earlier, But that's another story, mind you, your Ok..."
Ruby couldn't resist trying to work out their secret
"Apart from the great big dirty secret your keeping from me, look I trained to be a nurse I've dealt with all sorts so I think I can crack that 'Don't say anything' look that you two keep pulling at eachother" Ruby smiled at Boone and Shannon
"You know you can trust me, I won't tell a soul, lets call it patient confidentiality, Right?" Ruby stuck her hand out to shake hands and make a deal
"But if you want I could always go off with the other two, I mean they're probably so much more exciting..."
Ruby continued too use reverse psychology on the two she thought it was the kind of thing they'd give in to.

"You know you can trust me, I won't tell a soul, lets call it patient confidentiality, Right?"
She looked down at Ruby's outstretched hand with derision. As if it would be that easy to break into her and Boone's confidence. "Look, all I know is that we're stuck here till Sayid gets a special delivery of spare parts from Radio Shack, I'm not in a hurry to go on any more hikes, and till that guy rests in peace, none of us will," she replied.

"Well maybe you can tell me the truth some other time Shannon, meanwhile what are we suppose to do now, we can't just wait for the Marshal to die, we need to get out there and do something, pull our weight around"
Ruby purred with such enthusiasm but Shannon didn't seem so keen
"...Or we could just sit here and talk!" Ruby backtracked

"Hey, Boone!" James called out as he drew close.
Great he thought as he noticed Shannon stood beside him. Her royal highness has decided to grace us with her presence.
"Sorry to bother you" James offered politely. "But are you still in charge of the water?".
