Day 3 on Survivor Island

(Taking Laura by the shoulder and gently leading her towards a clearing in the woods)

Sorry to be so secretive, but I didn't really want anyone to overhear our conversation...Um..there really isn't a tactful way to say this so I'll just come right out and ask you....are you developing an interest in Shane? [Laura suddenly becomes terribly interested in a dirt smudge on the toe of her Reebok] Sami has only been here a short while, yet has managed to convey that idea to me...my neice- [sigh] she should have her own talk show. Anyhow, I can completely understand you taking a liking to Shane, he is thoroughly charming and sophisticated, intelligent, handsome.... [momentarily breaks off, looking glassy-eyed, but recovers quickly] I just wanted to let you know that it wouldn't affect me at all.... [choking slightly]...nope, not the least little bit....

Confessional: Shane Donovan

(Shane appears on camera, after perusing the entire island, trying to survey the exact size and current status of the place.)
Bob, I think a gent like you must be really bored by this whole thing. Is there nothing else on your daily schedule other than confessions? Well, I guess you are paid to do this, so let me continue.

The Big Bad Ass didn't seem to take kindly to my making friends with Ms. Horton, just because she is in the other tribe. We were just taking time to get to know each other, but now I have been permanently sequestered on my side of the island.

I have been investigating the island for a couple of hours now. My room had a few useful tools for the job. I have now calculated the total square mileage on the island...12.4 mi. sq. to be exact. I also have taken samples from the soil on both sides of the island and inserted them into my chemical compound analyzer, just to make sure no one came before and left anything dangerous.

I must say I didn't realize the room would be so useful in my effort to re-encounter Laura. The ruse of investigating the details of the island has allowed me to investigate every square inch and even take a peek at her tent. I believe Laura is in the tent between Craig Wesley and Marlena. Not sure who Craig is, but I'm sure Laura is in a safe location, as he is the COS at University Hospital. I'm sure he's a friend of the Hortons, as they would only allow a highly regarded physician to assume that role.

I'll have to keep thinking of alternate ways to check up on dear Laura. I certainly don't want to see any harm come to her.

Roman? Bob, I believe I see Roman headed this way. Since this is neutral territory, may I speak with him before I head back to my camp? I am still trying to get to the bottom of this situation, although it is a bit hard to investigate with Laura on my mind.

I don't know what people have against women who are slightly unstable. I've found happiness with many...Kim, Gillian, Gabrielle...will she be next?

Belle Confessional *Tribe Two*

Hey, Bob. You again. I don't get why I'm the only kid on this team. I mean, back in Salem it's SO different. Me and my friends rule that town! I'm a cheerleader you know, and I'm on the debate team, and well (Giggles) every team there is at Salem High! [Bob quickly changes the subject]

Bob: Did you help your dad out?

(Belle giggles, as she flips up the mirror attached to the flap of her makeup bag and swiftly applies some syrupy pink lip gloss)

[Bob tries not to, but can't help but wink at her] Oh, Daddy... he tried to tell me some coo-coo story about when he was a priest. I swear, someday I'm going to be rich when I write a book about him. Nobody will believe it's the truth, but I bet they'll buy it! Though of course, not like I'll NEED money or anything. My Dad is disgustingly filthy RICH. Oh... and then, I couldn't believe it, but he smacked right into a tree and goes....(pursing her lips and growling out the lowest voice she can possibly conjure) 'There should be a shower here.' And he starts talking about seeing Mom in it! I swear! Oh and then something totally freaky happened! Some crazy lady with really big skanky hair started attacking him. She looked like Brady's mom. But she's dead. Brady showed me his thing.... Um, I mean, he has this freaky like shrine to her in his closet. I guess that sounds kind of creepy and you'd think a guy would have posters of Britney Spears on his walls, but well, you just have to KNOW my brother and you wouldn't think it's weird at all. I mean, I won't even tell you what I saw in his drawer once. Okay, why not, right? You're not going to tell anyone. I saw one of my Mom's teddies! (Belle quickly covers her mouth in a fake look of shock, and screeches a loud giggle) Well, whatever, you know? Not like I haven't heard about that kind of thing.... I watch MTV.

Brady's a GREAT guy though, really! [Bob nods his head in a pathetic attempt at agreement.] REALLY, Bob!

So, I figured my Dad could get rid of that spooky lady by himself. I mean, there's only so much a cute spunky girl like me can do, right?

(Putting her lip gloss back in her bag, she gets very serious, crossing her arms and legs and leaning against the tree she's perched near) [Bob moves close and squats down so he can zoom in on all her cuteness, but wishes he had earplugs]

Bob, don't say anything to my Dad, but I think I saw a little girl running through the woods past our team line a couple times today and oh boy, this is so weird. She looked just like I did when I was a little kid! That's crazy right? I'm seeing ghosts here. I must be going nuts from lack of cappuccino at Dot.com and no N'Sync.... Anyway, it freaked me out. What do you think? Bob?

[Bob flinches at the sound of his name. He's gone cross-eyed and completely tuned her out when the pitch of her voice reached the level only dogs can hear.]

Bob: Hmm? Yeah, sure... [He tries to stand up from his crouching stance but his legs have gone numb as well and he stumbles and hurls himself backwards at a rapidly increasing pace until he eventually falls into the tent Stefano is lurking behind.]

Uh huh, I think it's a ghost too! Not like Shawn's *can* thing isn't enough for me to deal with! Geez!

Oh, Bob! Oh my! SQUEEK That Stefano guy that gives my Dad bad headaches is on this island too. Cans, ghosts and old guys in smoking jackets... ugh, a girl's life just shouldn't be this confusing! Eeeeek!

(Belle scurries like a rabid squirrel away from the scene) Daddy!
