"ORSON" Orson looked at Rome as the girls walked ahead. "What?" "I didn't know.." "didn't know? She helped us. She pulled us to the shore, helped us eat and drink. Kept us calm in the worst situations. We get back and people want your attention and you turn your back.." "I have liked.." "piss off" Orson walked away and so did Rome. "ROME.." "BYE".
"WAIT UP YOU TWO. IM COMING" "HURRY THEN. WE HAVE A LONG TRIP AHEAD" Orson ran up to the girls. "Happy to jog?" "Yep" all three jogging back to brielles, they grabbed everything needed for Sam and John then walked out. Orsons phone ringing, he sighed "it will be Rome" Miley shrugged 'im thrilled she is sticking by brielle. "Yeah?" "Man,I just want to fix this. We have been mates since junior. I thought she was just letting it get to her head" "someone that sticks to herself?" Rome sighed "her sisters track record isn't great" "give me that" "you are with them?" "Yeah" "she won't even let me speak" "did you expect it?" "I was hoping. I've tried messaging her but she hasn't even opened them. Tried calling and she won't answer.." "OH MY GOD.." "On the way back" "hell yes" Orson laughed as he looked at the crowd forming "we going to that?" "Well.. we want to" "yeah me too" "to what?" "Some street party is setting up" "is brielle going?" "I don't know. Parents need to agree" Rome lowered his head "yeah I know. What are you three doing?" "Going to see John and Sam" "what?" "The girls bought a care package for them" "and tuna" Orson laughed "what the fuck for?" "We worked hard getting these" Orson broke out in laughter "we are hoping they have the same reaction. THATS THEM" "sorry man, I have to go" "yeah.. I will speak to you later" "bye" "bye". 'i would've loved to have joined them'.
"JOHN AND SAM. WAIT" all three ran their way as the men stopped and looked around. Brielle, Miley and Orson ran down the dock and up to Sam and John "Brielle, Miley and Orson. Wow. It's good to see the three of you well" "thanks to both of you for bringing us in. We have these for you" both men showed gentle grins "it's not much for saving our lives but we wanted to show our appreciation" "you are right, it's not. But, a very generous gift" Brielle and Miley showed cheeky grins "and we wanted to show you our hard work. We might beat you at your own game" "is that so?" Brielle and Miley handed them cans of tuna making John, Sam and Orson laugh "wow. You girls did so well" "yep. A dollar twenty five worth" all three continued to laugh. "This surely made our afternoon. A very sweet thought. Missing one" "might be busy" "I see. Oh check this out" everyone grinned "let me try this on. This was more than a dollar twenty five" "but will keep you warm and dry plus it's breathable" John put the jacket on and shrugged his shoulders. "Yep. It's definitely warm. And blankets?" "Incase you get stuck and need to stay warm" "or one of you naps" the men grinned "snacks, food and drinks as well. Just because we like food and drinks" "thank you. Want to help us load all of this?" "Yes" "come on" all five walked to Sam and John's boat and helped load their gifts on. Noticing their photos in the boat, all three grinned "it's a reminder that there is more to life. You kids are inspirational" "oh don't make me cry.." Brielle and Orson chuckled "the softy huh?" "Very emotional" "the strong silent one and the jokester?" "Oh he picked that well" "only silent when I'm surrounded by people I don't like or too many" "me too. Social anxiety?" "I don't know. My dad guessed that too. I have been secluded most of my life" "that would do it. A small group is better than many untrustworthy people around" "I agree. Maybe one night I can join?" "You just got back on land" "it's peaceful out there" both men grinned "with permission of course" "let's see what Shaun says about that" the men grinned "we do need to sail out.." "oh, sorry" "but we look forward to seeing all of you again. Thank you" all three jumped off of the boat. "Thank you, be safe and catch more than we did" the men laughed "we will." Waving as the men moved out, all three then walked up the pier. "I need to ask" "me too" "yep. I don't know if dad will allow it" "I'm going to dad" "mom" brielle chuckled "see you both soon?" "Hopefully" Brielle jogged all the way home and entered the house. "Where were you?" "Yeah hi" "afternoon" "we took the gifts to Sam and John. They had a good laugh. I have two questions to ask" Shaun grinned "okay. I know how you work when asking questions. The small one will come first. Spit it out" "can I go join the street party?" "When and where?" "Soon and it's at central gardens. I don't even know what it is but they had bubbles and stuff" Shaun broke out in laughter "the carnival?" Brielle shrugged "there aren't any big rides or anything" "it's a small local carnival. Kid rides but yes you can go. The second?" "I want to do a trip out with Sam and John for the night" "WHAT?... Sorry. That I didn't expect" "it's a new experience. Catch more tuna than a few cans from the shop" Shaun chuckled "not alone" "so you want me to invite Miley?" "No. I will come" brielles eyes widened as she looked at her father in shock "have you ever fished?" "Once. Didn't go well. Have you?" "Speared. I was amazing at it" Shaun grinned "you speak with both of them. If they allow both of us on board, yes" "REALLY?" Shaun laughed "really" "EEK. oh I need to eat. Have you?" "No. I was preparing food" "okay let's do that" 'my daughter wants to go back out on a boat after being shipwrecked for nearly two months. "Why do you want to go on the boat?" "It's peaceful".
Her phone ringing, Brielle grabbed it out "who.." "AY SHAUN" brielle laughed "so.. what did Tim say?" "What did Shaun say?" "Yes" "I did" "then yes. Stick together" "they have bubbles" everyone laughed "big, giant human bubbles" "that's why you girls want to go" "candy" "bubbles" "music" "be good" "always" "liar" "I have been" "then why did the principal call everyone in?" "Because bitches.." "Miley" "they are. Were saying crap to brielle" "WHAT?" "oh.." "you didn't mention it" "they aren't worth my time. CARNIVAL" the men and Miley laughed "have fun" "we will and stay safe".

Arriving at the carnival, brielle looked around 'she said near the..' "POCAHONTAS" Brielle laughed as she found miley with a large candy floss "check it out" "I so need one of them. Oh what are these.." "light up swords. Five each" "sword wars?" "Yep" the lady laughed as the girls handed her five dollars each. "Blue" "green. You need candy floss. No cheating. One handed fights" brielle turned her sword on. Lighting up and playing music, brielle beamed a smile "yeah this is my favourite" Miley's phone ringing, Miley scrunched her nose up "oh.. yeah.. hey" Orson Chuckled "you girls are already there huh?" "We have light up swords that sing too" Orson laughed "and candy floss.." "YES PLEASE" Orson and Miley broke out in laughter "I'm on my way. Don't let me party in a kids section on my own" "how can you be so irresponsible. Let's do it together".
"Mmm yum" "yep. Oh look" brielle and Miley eyed off the face paint "should we?" "Pretty little princesses?" "Oh god no" "OI" "FACE PAINT" Orson laughed "seriously?" "Why the hell not" "let's do it."

'oh my god. I'm covered' entering her home, Brielle looked around as she closed the door. Hearing Shaun laugh, she looked around again. "What.." Shaun kept laughing "I look pretty. Check this out" brielle showed her dad the sword as he kept laughing. "how old are you again?" "Seventeen. Add the numbers together I'm only eight. It really wasn't good leaving a young child alone. She is covered in glitter, face paint, had way too much candy floss, bought stupid things like this sword and light up bracelet..." Shaun kept Laughing. "I suggest a shower before you go to bed" "I will do that".
