The next morning Lincoln wakes up to the sound of Ronnie Anne crying. Lincoln goes out to investigate. 

Lincoln: "Hey, Ronnie Anne is everything okay? You're up early. The sun isn't even up yet."

Ronnie Anne (wiping tears away and sniffling): "I'm okay. I'm not crying if that's what you think. I was always the toughest girl in school. I don't cry...I can't cry."

Lincoln gives her a look of doubt: "I know something's wrong, Ronnie Anne. You don't have to hide it."

Ronnie Anne: "Fine. I just miss home. I miss my family. I mean, I was about to go to culinary school to learn how to be a chef. I really had no choice, I knew I wasn't famous enough to be a pro skateboarder." She chuckles a little bit.

Lincoln: "Wow, at least you know what you wanted to do. I still have no idea what I want to do. That's if we ever get home. Maybe a truck driver, maybe an airplane pilot, maybe even a chef too! That would be cool. I get my cooking skills from my dad."

Ronnie Anne: "I could maybe teach you a thing or two. I got a lot of my cooking skills form my abuela."

Lincoln looks out onto the ocean: "Wow, that's a beautiful sunrise. I thought places like this only existed in fiction. I mean, the water is pure blue. It almost looks like a painting."

Lincoln and Ronnie Anne turn to each other. Their eyes lock, but they immediately look away.

Ronnie Anne: "At least we're stuck here and not in some cold ass place. Haha"

Lincoln: "Look at you looking on the positive side!"

Ronnie Anne: "How long have we been here anyway?"

Lincoln: "Three days. I've been tallying on this tree. Here, look."

Ronnie Anne: "Oh, nice. I wonder how much longer. I still wonder where on Earth are we?"

Lincoln: "I wish our phones had reception. Then I would just call home."

Ronnie Anne: "My phone ran out of battery like two days ago. You still have battery?"

Lincoln: "Yes. I've been turning my phone off. I haven't had it turned on in about a day and a half. Thankfully, I had it fully charged before you came over. When I turned it off, it still had about 70% battery."

Ronnie Anne: "Do you have music?"

Lincoln: "Yes, but I wanted to conserve the battery. For now at least. I'm staving, maybe we should go find some food."

Ronnie Anne: "Fine. I'm hungry, too, anyway."

Lincoln and Ronnie Anne go out for food at their usual spot. Then they just start talking about anything.

Ronnie Anne: "Didn't you say you were working at a warehouse?"

Lincoln: "Yes. On my third day, I was learning how to use the forklift and I..kind of..crashed it. Haha. Funny story. I crashed it and bent one of the forks on the lift. All the guys said they've never seen anyone mess up that bad!"

Ronnie Anne: "Hahaha, wow. That's pretty crazy."

Lincoln: "And you were still working at the mercado?"

Ronnie Anne: "Yes, of course. It's fun. We would have this crazy lady named Maybelle come in. She was kind of a pain in the ass, but we all love her regardless."

Lincoln: "I feel like I know a few of those. Haha. Hey, do you want to play a game to pass the time?"

Ronnie Anne: "What game?"

Lincoln: "Hmm, I don't know..maybe 20-questions?"

Ronnie Anne: "Hmm, okay. I've never played."

Lincoln: "All we do is ask each other 20 questions."

Ronnie Anne: "Sounds like truth or dare, but without the dare."

Lincoln: "Pretty much."

Ronnie Anne: "Fine, we can play, Linc. You first."

Lincoln: "Okay! Hmm..first question. Are you left or right handed?"

Ronnie Anne: "I am right-handed."

Lincoln: "Now you ask me something. It can't be the same question I just asked you."

Ronnie Anne: "Hmm... Who has had the biggest influence on your life?"

Lincoln: "My dad for sure. He's the one that taught me everything I know.

Lincoln: "Okay..hmm..What was your family like growing up?"

Ronnie Anne: "It was small, until my mom moved us to Great Lakes City. Then my family quadrupled in size. That was a change that took some getting used to. They were always there for me though.

Ronnie Anne: "Hmm..What did you do with your very first paycheck?"

Lincoln: "Oh, wow. I bought some Ace Savvy comics with it!"

Ronnie Anne chuckles: "Hehe, of course. Typical lame-o..I mean, Lincoln."

Lincoln lightly blushes

Lincoln: "Okay, Ronnie Anne. Have you ever kissed anyone other than me? I know I was your first kiss. But have you kissed anyone else?"

Ronnie Anne blushes: "Well, just one other boy. His name was Kyle. He ended up being a jerk anyway so I had to dump him."

Ronnie Anne: "How many other girls have kissed you? And no, it's not the same question...technically. So you HAVE to answer it."

Lincoln: "Yes, you're right. Haha. I think it was just Stella and Girl Jordon. We all decided we would be better off just friends. I mean all this on separate occasions..not at the same time..haha."

Lincoln: "Okay..umm...what do you usually wear to the beach when you go?"

Ronnie Anne: "Funny you should ask. I usually wear a one piece suit. I've never worn a bikini in my life. I was always embarrassed by my body. I don't know why. This coconut bra and grass skirt is the most exposed I've ever been on a beach. But there's not anyone else around..except for you."

Lincoln: "So you're not embarrassed for me to see your body?"

Ronnie Anne: "Well, it's not like I would care what you think anyway."

Ronnie Anne looks at him with a smug look, but smiles to him."

Lincoln just blushes.

Ronnie Anne: "Okay, so, have you ever kissed anyone of the same sex?"

Lincoln: "No, actually. I've never done that. Have you ever kissed another girl?"

Ronnie Anne: "Hehe, funny story. My friend Sid and I snuck booze into my room for a sleepover one night. We started to drink and we may of, kind of, made out for a few seconds. That's it though! Don't get any ideas, pervy boy."

Lincoln: "Ideas? I won't get any. Don't worry."

Ronnie Anne: "When was the first time you ever saw a girl naked?"

Lincoln: "To be completely honest, never. Never in person anyway. Only from what I've looked up on the internet. Have you ever saw a boy naked?"

Ronnie Anne: "Same as you. Never in person, just from what I saw on the internet. You know, looking it up out of pure curiosity. Not trying to be a perv."

Lincoln: "Well, that's okay. Everyone is curious and has urges. It's only natural."

Ronnie Anne: "So does that mean you're a virgin?"

Lincoln looks to her surprised. He face gets red with embarrassment.

Lincoln: "Uhh...."
