[After our glimpse into the future we return to the present. We awake from our embraced slumber and it's about 8 A.M.]
Cecilia: Goodmorning babe!
[I still have one eye closed and I start murmuring.]
Me: Mah, Gah, Morning girl.
Cecilia: Haha how can you still be sleepy?
Me: I, ion, I don't know...
[A yawn.]
Me: I guess you got me tired last night.
Cecilia: Oh yes that was fun.
[I get up from the bed to freshen up. Cecilia does the same.]
Me: Today were going exploring more of the island.
Cecilia: How?
Me: We have a map.
Cecilia: Oh yea, but won't we get lost?
Me: I have a knife. We'll mark the trees we pass by.
Cecilia: Great idea! I would've never thought of that!
Me: Then we come back by dusk.
Cecilia: Alrighty.. I'm ready
Me: Ok let's go, I'll go grab food. You'll be the map bearer.
[ Cecilia nods. I grab the backpack that looks like a chest and pack our foods. I take some granola bars, a raisin bread loaf, and a chocolate bar. I also grab 6 bottles of water and we walk out the door.]
Me: Where should we go first?
Cecilia: Let's go that way.
[She points at the trail we came by the other day.]
Me: Oh yea good idea... we might find something interesting.
[We commence in the direction of the trail. We walk for about 30 minutes and we stumble upon the coast.]
Cecilia: Is that what I think it is?
Me: Oh I hope so!
[We marveled at an object floating on the water a couple yarda away. We run to it.]
Cecilia: Aha! It's a boat!
Me: And it has a radio! Let's turn this bad boy on!
[Apparently the keys were still in the ignition. It fired up smoothly and then started purring like a cat. I turned on the radio to channel 13.]
Me: Hello? anyone there?
[No answer]
Me: Anybody?
[No answer]
[ I look at Cecilia.]
Me: It's not going through.
Cecilia: Maybe they're too far.
Me: So we'd have to get closer?
Cecilia: yes.
[All I was waiting for was the yes. Then, I jumped into the seat and but the bad boy into reverse.]
Cecilia:What are you doing?
Me: Getting us close so we can get some signal.
Cecilia: Hmm... good thinking! But we can't get lost out here.
Me: I'll make sure we don't.
[We boat out a couple miles from the island and finally get some signal. I try to make contact.]
Me: Hello?
Stranger: Hello there!
