"There's a surprizing lack of pineapples around here...and sleeping on the sand is not as comfortable when it's an every night thing.... and I've got sand everywhere! But, you know, that's to be expected. How... how about you?"
"I'm fine," she shrugged. "I'm trying to perfect an air of calm and competence, while actually being quite confused and terrified. But that's just between us," she added.
"Why the interest in pineapples?"

"G"
"I'm fine," she shrugged. "I'm trying to perfect an air of calm and competence, while actually being quite confused and terrified. But that's just between us," she added.
He nodded. "Well, you're pulling off the act well," he said, bluntly. "I mean, maybe it's the whole British thing, but you seem to have the confidence thing down."
"Why the interest in pineapples?"
"You mean aside from being delicious?" he asked with a smile. "You know if you put the top of the pineapple back in the ground after you're done eating it, it will grow again? I mean, that's got to be a good thing when you're on a desert island... a fruit that reproduces itself. They actually worshiped pineapples in Peru in the olden days."
He paused and looked at her.
"Want half a bottle of shampoo?" he said, with a sly look.

"Well, I will say that I prefer pineapples to coconuts. Not sure if I prefer them enough to worship them," she said, trying to keep up with his rapid switch in topics.
"Want half a bottle of shampoo?"
"Why do I feel there's a catch involved?" she asked. Perhaps one too many encounters with Sawyer had left her jaded.

Little Sarah
Sighing sarah sat in the sandcastle and watched Gwen talkinh with G and held Mr. flopper's close she couldn't hear him anymore. not even a whisper, but she knew he was trying to talk with her. trying to tell her everything was ok, but she wasn't sure it was going to be. her mommy and Daddy were far away, and she was surrounded by strangers. thou Heidi was taking care of her, she felt somewhat safe. But right now Heidi was gone into the forest and Little Sarah was left with Gwen, whom of course she trusted and was trying to do her best to show Gwen that she really cared.
At first Sarah was upset about being left behind, but the more she thought about it; she realized that maybe it was a better idea she stayed here. the forest after all was a scary place.
walking out of the castle she smiled, "Ok union break over, back to work." she walked over to G and smiled, "You can help too, unless everything you said about making sandcastles were a lie."

"G"
"Why do I feel there's a catch involved?" she asked.
"There's a catch, but not much of one..." he said, but trailed off as Sarah returned.
"Ok union break over, back to work." she walked over to G and smiled, "You can help too, unless everything you said about making sandcastles were a lie."
"Was a lie," he said, correcting the young girls grammar for some reason. "And I'd be happy to help. But, it seems that you're in charge, so... orders?"

Little Sarah
"Was a lie," she hated being corrected and he reminded her of her aunt millie, amusing yet annoyingly grammer obsessed. "And I'd be happy to help. But, it seems that you're in charge, so... orders?"
"Don't like it go away than," and with that she turned back to her sandcastle and got back to work.

"Wow. You are like a short, youthful, female version of my father," he said flatly. "With more hair. Much more hair."

Little Sarah
"Wow. You are like a short, youthful, female version of my father, With more hair. Much more hair." this reminded her over the night before, when Dr. Arzt tried to make it "All better", and with a growl she picked up a shovel and tossed it at his head.
"see the good Dr. Arzt, unless your intending to make me very angry, back off!" she walked over to him and kicked him hard in the shin. "bad man!" and than walked back to her castle.

Gwen watched in confusion as the little girl lashed out at G. Heidi was going to owe her big time when she got back from her jungle trek.
"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?" she asked G in concern. "I don't know what's gotten into her."

RUBY
She enters from Fuselage and Surrounding Area.
She had been left reeling by Michael and Jin's fight, she didn't have to help but what thanks did she get? A sore head, that was worse than nothing. It reminded Gwen of a similiar siituation on the island so far but she decided not to stir up bad memories especially ones that had been left in the past.
She approached Boone and Shannon, he had been looking no happier and well Shannon was always in a Shannon mood-translation for unpredictable-She saw G, who also was in no hurry to help, infact the only one who had been was gwen. But she wasn't exaclty accepting her apologies civily.
Sarah was building more sandcasltes
'At least someone is managing to have fun on this island' she thought to herself. She looked down and smiled.
She remembered a day when her parents use to take her to Cornwall before she went to school, she would make sandcastles al lday. Big ones, not tiny little things, and she'd decorate them properly instead of just throwing a piece of seaweed on top. However, she still felt uneasy around children, she never knew why afterall she would be dealing with them every day as a nurse-it was the underestimation of them she found eery.
She glanced at Boone and Shannon and turned to them.
"Hey are you guys alright?" she asked finding a place to sit to, afterall she was shattered. It was tiersome trying to sort everything out.

"G"
"Just, dandy...." he said, grabbing his leg in pain. "You'd think ten years of playing soccer--" he paused and made a gesture to her, sticking his hand out and lowering it to his waist. "--sorry, football... would have better prepared me for this."

"Yes, I've heard that being kicked in the shin by small children is part of the training regimen," she remarked. "You don't have to translate for me, by the way. I've lived in LA for over 10 years now. Thoroughly Americanized, much to my parents' dismay."

SHANNON
She frowned as G went off to talk to the flight attendant. Why was every guy so interested in the stupid stewardess? "Good job, Boone. Well done. Certainly wouldn't want me talking to any other guys on the island," she said bitterly. "Is that for my sake, or his?"
"Hey are you guys alright?"
She glared at Boone, waiting for his response, when Ruby interrupted. "We're fine. Aren't we, Boone? What happened over there?" she asked, nodding back toward the fuselage. "Korean guy take a swing at you, too?"

"In training we got to kick back," he matter-of-factly joked. "And it's just a habit picked up. I was doing a story with this Brit--a real surly fellow, and I was stick with him in the Congo of all places. And all he'd talk about were British sports. One day I called it soccer, and the SOB came at me with a cricket bat."
He paused for a second. "And that was a good day."

She smiled at Shannon and sniggered at the thought, however it wasn't that far from the truth and Ruby didnt like to be reminded-she was only trying to help afterall!
"Close. But no I tried helping and well it got me with a cut head and feeling worse than I did already, and if that's not enough I expect Raymond wil be asking me to help with the washing again" she paused and sighed before continuing.
"He's a lovely person but I can't be doing with sweaty clothes right now! I did suggest he asked you to help, but well I can see your busy" she said looking at Shannon, knowing full well she wasn't that busy afterall, but Shannon was nice in a funny sort of way so she left out the spite.
She looked at Boone, she wanted to talk to him but not infront of Shannon and by the way he looked, it seemed something far more than another bickering match with Shannon that upset him. She was curious and eager to learn more. She looked over at him, forgetting Shannon.

She couldn't help but laugh at the image he conjured. "Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to laugh, I just...I associate cricket bats with zombie invasions now," she said. "Which I'm hoping isn't why you were in the Congo."

"No-no zomb--" he paused and looked at her, holding his two pointer fingers up in the air.. "Wait... did you just laugh?"

"Um, I don't know, did I?" she smiled and looked around self-consciously, tucking her hair behind her ear. "It's not something I do a lot. You might have to check with witnesses. But seriously, why were you in the Congo? I'm curious."

Taliya
Taliya snapped out of what had suddenly overtaken her mind and headed over to Sarah.
"Sorry about that. Lost my mind for a moment. So, what do you want me to do?"

"Witnesses. Didn't think of that part. This was not thought out on my part."
"But seriously, why were you in the Congo? I'm curious."
"I'm a photographer for National Geographic,"he said, in his usual matter-of-fact tone. "I was there on assignment." Everyone always asked the same question next, and G found that saying it before they asked added a level of believeability to his story. "No, not the naked women... above my paygrade, I'm afraid."
