"Morning Ralph!" Tiffany smiled in an attempt to be somewhat civil towards him after recent events.

"Hey Tiffany, do you think it would be okay if you watch the litluns today and just make sure they get up to minor trouble?"

"Sure, where is everyone else going to be?"

"Well me, Simon and piggy are on fire watch and I have given in to Jack's constant pleading to go hunting with some of the other so that's that I suppose."
Tiffany nodded, that's all Jack spoke about sometimes. How he was convinced is Ralph just let them, he would get us all meat rather than have us eat fruit all the time.

"Which reminds me, you and Jack are on fire watch again tonight!"

"Again?"

"What'd you mean again?"

"Well, we were on fire watch last night!"

"No you weren't, Samneric were?"

Ralph stared at her in confusion as Tiffany shared the same look, why on earth..?

"Oh, that's right thanks Ralph!" She walked away, skipping over to the littluns with a smile on her face. "Hello munchkins!"

"Hello tiff!" They all replied in unison before returning to digging the biggest hole they could.

"What are you guys doing?"

"We're digging ourselves out of here!" Henry replied, smiling at her innocently.

In that moment, a wave of sadness came over Tiffany. They were just children, they all were and they shouldn't be here, slowly rotting away as their hope sailed further and further out to sea. The older kids were loosing hope, and some patience. But these littluns had no idea, they can probably now barely remember anything before the island other than this wasn't home.

"Are you okay miss?" Henry tugged at her skirt, looking up at her. She was brought back to reality and simply smiled and nodded.

"Hey, Phil don't throw the rocks at Percival hm?" Tiffany laughed as she watched them.

She then noticed samneric throwing their spears in the water as the unsuccessfully fished down in the lagoon. "Hey samneric, I gotta talk to you!" "Hello Tiffany, wanna hear a joke?"
She groaned and replied. "Sure!" "What'd you call a fish with no eyes?" "Hm.. I wonder!" "Fsh, you idiot!" They both began to laugh hysterically and knock each other with their spears. "Hilarious, why weren't you on fire watch last night?" They both suddenly looked at each other. "How did you know?" "That doesn't matter, why?" "Well, sam tell her!" "No, you tell her- I'm not telling her!"

The bickering continued until Tiffany's patience ran out. "CAN ONE OF YOU JUST TELL ME?" "Fine, chill.."

"Jack told us not to."

"Why?"

"He said he wanted to be up there, to watch the sunset.."

"Oh, and you just listened to him?"

"Yeah, he wouldn't lie."

"uh huh.."

"Why are you asking?"

"No reason, have fun fishing."

She sauntered back over to the littluns, her mind racing as she stared at the sand.

Jack wanted to be with her?

This made no sense whatsoever, they were constantly bickering and yet he purposely goes out of his way to spend more time with her.
