love overboard

The next morning Miranda woke up and Ben was outside on his knees leaning over.

"Goodmorning. What you doing." Miranda asked standing behind him.

"I found a piece of dry wood, so I'm going to see if can get this fire to start." Ben said as he was spinning the stick. Miranda held her hands on the wood to hold it down. They did this for about 30 minutes.

"Ben look it's smoking." Miranda said getting excited.

Ben began to blow on it as the smoke began to be more visible. He added small leaves and twigs until it caught flames.

"Oh my God you did it." Miranda said as she hugged him looking down at it.

They kept adding sticks to keep it there for awhile. "I'm going to go get more bigger branches." Ben said as he walked towards the woods.

Miranda went and grabbed coconut leaves. Her inner thighs were seriously beginning to hurt from sliding up the tree.

After she threw down so many she slid back down and she sat on ground. She began to try and make baskets. It took her many tries and a couple of test, staring over until she was able to weave it together with the cross over method. She was proud of her self looking at the bowl she made.

Ben came back dropping the branches down. He looked at her as she sat on the ground starting on another bowl. He liked the way she scrunched her nose up . She was adorable.

"Wow you are really good at this."

"Thanks I just need to learn how to make them tighter so there are no gaps."

Ben took a stick from the ground and he walked and grabbed a clam shell, round rock and a big flat rock.

She watched as he used the round rock to rub against the clam shell before he put it on the flat rock and moved it across it in a horizontal motion.

When Miranda caught on to what he was doing she gaped her mouth some. He just made a blade out of a sea shell by sharpening the edges.

"Dam you are smart." Miranda said in awe of his intelligence.

She watched as he did this to multiple ones.

"I'm going to go find some vines to use for rope. We can also use them to start a better shelter." Miranda said as she got up. She also had to pee really bad.

Miranda walked a little ways to the trees. She used the bathroom by a tree and then she began to cut down vines.

Miranda was thinking about Tuck as she did this. She would have amazing stories to tell him. His mother was a survivalist. She was dam near better than a trauma surgeon that had been to war. She couldn't wait to tell Owen about her experience when she got back home.

Miranda was looking at branches that Ben could get too. As she started to grab for a vine that ran across the tree branch in front of her. Her eyes got wide as she snatched her hand back screaming in the process.

Ben was in the water with his hand made spear trying to spear fish when heard her scream pierce through the woods.

Ben rushed to find her and it wasn't hard because she never stop screaming. "What's wrong. What happen?" Ben asked as he walked up beside her.
