"You're welcome," she smiled awkwardly, hoping she'd successfully evaded the issue. "So, looking at the flora and fauna, has it given you any further insight into where we might be?"

"So, looking at the flora and fauna, has it given you any further insight into where we might be?"
"I don't know." he admitted. "It's all...mixed. Bizarre plants that don't exist together in any other places I've been. Like someone took plants from different countries and threw them on the same clump of land."

Maybe someone did, she thought. "So you've got tropical mixed with Mediterranean mixed with North American? Or something like that?"

"Yeah. It's weird. Then again, when we get found, I could make a fortune by being the one to discover it." he said. "There's a cool thought..."

"Indeed," she nodded indulgently. "Like Darwin and the Galapagos Islands. They might even name some plant or other after you." Like the 'self-absorbed, pretentious twat' tree, she added inwardly.
"Um, I don't suppose you've seen any sign of Jack lately, have you?" she asked.

"Um, I don't suppose you've seen any sign of Jack lately, have you?"
"Like any good self-appointed leader, he flailed his arms and ran into the jungle like an escaped chimpanzee with learning difficulties." he said calmly. "Good riddance, I say. Could've turned into a dictatorship."

"Really? That's, um...that's a bit disconcerting," she said. She knew Jack had been under a great deal of pressure, but running off into the jungle alone probably wasn't the wisest way to destress. "Well, good luck with...the whole insect...thing. Bye."

Little Sarah
"Where o where has my little friend gone, o where o where can he be... i can't hear him, but he can hear me. o where o where can he be?" Little Sarah sat in her Sandcastle and sang quietly to herself, it was scary. She had never been alone for this long in her life. Not from a parent or from Mr. Floppers, and thou he was right there, he was gone. and mom and dad were hundreds of miles away.
standing outside her sandcastle, she looked at it and felt angrier than she had ever felt in her life. taking a few deep breath she tried to calm herself down, but the anger rose in her, soon without realizing it, she dropped Mr. Floppers and picked up the nearest stick she could find, taking several hard blows to the castles walls. "I HATE YOU!" Tears streaming down her face, the voices gone... she was truly alone....

He heard the girl's screaming, and turned his head slightly to see her take apart the sand-castle. He was quiet for a few seconds, and then said, "The way you were building the foundations, it would've collapsed anyway." It was the kindest thing he was capable of saying. The nicest thing he could've done with what he had.

"The way you were building the foundations, it would've collapsed anyway." she swung around with her twig and growled.
"Would not, it was sound and stable!" she was angry and had not yet realized what she had done. "How would you know anyways, you adults are all the same, you think you know everything... and you know nothing!"

"Oh, really? How many degrees do you have? Oh, wait, you're eight. You don't have degrees." he said smugly. Then, seeing that she was crying, he sighed to himself. "Are you crying? Because if you are, it's ok...it looks like you're crying, is all. Just...um...don't, ok?"

Little Sarah
"Oh, really? How many degrees do you have? Oh, wait, you're eight. You don't have degrees." she glared at him, she might be young, but he had no idea what she was going through. "Are you crying? Because if you are, it's ok...it looks like you're crying, is all. Just...um...don't, ok?"
"Your a terrible, horrible man and i wish you dead!" It left her mouth before she could stop herself, and now she picked up an old coconut shell and tossed it at him. "Go away, Go away, Go away!" she yelled with each toss. "HEIDI, Where you are!" she looked around for her friend, "BAD MAN, BAD MAN!" she picked up a rock at last and tossed it at him, "Evil man!"

Little Sarah
Night was being to make itself more and more in the sky, the castle was coming along nicely, but in a way she didn’t care if it ever got fixed. Her and Mr. Floppers were king and Queen of the castle and now she was alone, he was gone and this castle was barren.
He stood as a guard outside the door before, protecting her, they had played reporter, and were the best of friends. When he first came to her, she was young and her adventure had not yet begun. Now it was over…
Fixing a crack in the side of the castle she continued like that for a while, not saying a word. Not even to Heidi, would she say something? Would she try and make it better?

HEIDI
The last of the sunlight was gone and we'd started to work by the beginning of the moonlight but it just wasn't bright enough. I leaned back and brushed some loose strands of hair out of my face with the back of my hand and winced at the kinks I felt in my back and neck after crawling around in the sand working on the castle for the last few hours.
"Okay hun, I think that's enough for today." I brought my legs around to the front and sat indian-style facing Sarah. I hadn't brought up her earlier tantrum since the one time I'd asked when first arriving to witness her throwing a rock at Arzt. She was too upset at the time to talk about it and so I had decided on going the route of getting her calmed down first. "You ready to talk about what happened today?"

"Okay Hun, I think that's enough for today." Looking up from a pile of sand, Little Sarah nodded in agreement. It was getting a little cold out and maybe sitting next to a nice warm fire, well that would be a good start. But when Heidi sat Indian style, Sarah did too. "You ready to talk about what happened today?"
Was she ready? Sarah looked away for a moment, than back to Heidi. Mr. Floppers lay several feet away, and the only thing Sarah could do was look away from him. He was there, but she couldn’t hear him anymore… he was gone. Sarah felt new tears but wiped them away.
“He’s gone…”

"Yes, the mean man is gone," I said, assuming she was referring to Arzt but confused as to why she sounded upset at the fact he was gone.

"Yes, the mean man is gone," she shook her head and looked at Mr. Floppers.
"Mr. Flopper's gone..." she crawled over to Heidi and placed her head on her lap.
