Parker's POV
"Here they are....the brave young women whose tale of struggle and survival has gripped the nation. The Unsinkable Nine, as we have come to know them. Ladies, you must have dreamed of coming home for so long. Now that you're here, what do you wanna do most?" The newscaster asked the group who sat side by side on a long stretch of couches.
"Honestly, smoke about a hundred cigs, you know? Like really rip through a carton or two." Dot quipped.
"Okay, how about the rest of you?"
"I don't know..." Toni began, "maybe hit up the OG for a never-ending pasta bowl and just get back to our real lives." She glanced at me and I quickly looked down. I had an uneasy feeling in my stomach about what we would be post rescue.
"I'd like to read The Odyssey again, rather than like, live it." Nora joked.
I shook off my uneasiness and spoke up, "Honestly, I think I just want to go to a Dave and Busters and blow about a hundred bucks only to get some cheap ass stuffed monkey." The others laughed at this.
"Leah, what about you?"
"Oh, um... I just wanna reconnect with certain people...people who may have been worried and-or felt like we had unfinished business. And if that person is watching right now I just want to say that I did not not miss you everyday-"
"My turn Brooke," Fatin cut Leah off, "and I've got a nice straight answer for you. I'm going to fuck the rowdiest guy with the biggest dick as soon as I fucking can."
We all looked toward Fatin in shock.
"Fatin!" I yelled in amusement.
"I don't think you can say that on live TV" Leah pointed out.
"Okay, make it more media friendly" Fatin cleared her throat, "I am going to fornicate with the healthiest penis I can find A.S.A.P"
"All right, I want to change my answer" Dot announced. "You remember that guy I was telling you about?"
"Nurse Mateo Caliente?" Fatin smirked.
"I'm 100% going to jump him as soon as I see him" Dot laughed.
"Atta girl!" Fatin cheered. "While we're workshopping our responses, you wanna work on that emotional shit show of yours, Leah?"
"Was it maybe not that great?" Leah questioned.
"Leah!" Fatin sat up on her knees. "You are going to be trending! Romeos from all over the world are gonna be blowing up your DMs."
"Um, do you think Romeo's will be in my DMs too?" Martha asked Fatin.
"Martha, angel, your DMs will be overflowing."
"All right then," Martha grabbed the bottle of vodka, "We're going home, bitches!"
We all cheered. I noticed Shelby looking down at the sand uneasily. Dot and Nora started to dance around. Shelby stood up and walked away. I noticed that Toni saw this too.
"Should we check on her?" I asked Toni.
The brunette looked into my eyes with equal concern but just shook her head. "She's got shit she needs to figure out."

"When you saw this plane pass over and thought that rescue was imminent, were you excited?" Agent Faber asked me.
"Was I excited to be rescued from a deserted island?" I clarified, confused.
"Yes, were you?"
