"Okay, that's what i got" JJ held his stick up. He had sharpened it at the end.
"Nice, can you help me with mine?" Kiara looked deeply into his eyes. JJ attempted to take the stick, but she pulled it away. "too slow" they laughed a little, and Kiara finally gave him the stick.
"I hope Sarah and John B will have at least some kind of thing done when we get back" JJ started.
Kie looked at him. he was focused on the stick. Kiara loved him focused face, with his squinting eyes, and dimples showing.
"And Pope and Cleo better have found some kind of water" She added.
"Oh, it's simple, if they haven't, we'll all die soon." JJ smiled. "Done!"
She took the stick, and they headed to the border between the water and the sand.
"How on earth are we going to do this" Kiara said, half talking to herself
"We'll figure it out" JJ looked at Kie, but she was focused on the water.
After a moment of silence, they both spotted a snapper. Kie looked at JJ who nodded back. JJ signed her to go for it, but when he saw her scared face, he couldn't help softly chuckling.
"What?" Kie mouthed, wich made him laugh a little louder. The snapper, hearing him, swam away really quickly.
"You scared him dumbass" Kie smiled at JJ
"You're scared dumbass" He responded laughing. "No I'm not! It's just a little mean to kill something after such a short life" Kie responded innocently.
/Back at the camp/
"What are they doing? Fishing shouldn't take that long" Pope looked around annoyed
"I'm starving!" Sarah expressed "They need to hurry the hell up"
"We do have the coconut JJ picked up, although that will last about 10 minutes if we all start eating it." John B commented
after what seemed like ages, they heard laughing in the background, and then, "We're here, don't worry. Took a little longer than expected, Kiara can't kill shit" JJ laughed as they were getting closer.
Sarah stood up, and opened her eyes wide when she saw the two big King Mackerels they caught. "Holy shit! I was about to kill you guys, but this?? This makes up for your lateness"
"Did you guys get water, or were you sleepign the whole time?" Kiara sighed as she sat down next to the others
"No, and no..." Pope grimaced "Don't look at me, he wanted to come back to camp" Cleo raised her hands as if she was being arrested by Kiara's killer stare
"I just figured, we had been looking for ages-" "Only 2 hours!" Sarah cut him off "Okay, but it felt like ages, and since JJ found a coconut, and there's water in the coconut, I figured we could start there" Pope explained
"Great, love that. I HATE coconuts, let alone coconut milk. ew" Kiara rolled her eyes
"Okay, we can't be mad at eachother right now, we gotta start celebrating Kiara's almost catch!" JJ mocked her
Kiara laughed, got up, and bowed sarcastically. "but we really don't need to celebrate JJ's two fishes, they really don't matter. Besides, we look at progress here, not success" Sarah laughed, and all the pogues joined.
Kiara looked around at all her friends having a nice time together. She realized, she didn't want to go back to obx. This was the real dream for her. Who knows where her parents would send her if she were to ever come back? As she felt her eyes watering, she desided to block those thoughts, and to focus on the fun time they were all having.
