You opened your eyes groggily, and took immediate notice of the weird object connected to your mouth. You looked down, realizing it was an air mask, and took it off. Looking around you, you noticed scraps of metal, and most of all, sand. You had absolutely no idea where you were. Were you in America?

No. America was more... rocky. Around you were palm trees, along with a lot of foliage. It was definitely a stereotypical island. You were pretty sure if this was a stereotypical island, then there was a volcano not too far off.

Getting up woozily, you placed a hand on your head to calm the raging storm that had washed over you. You took a step forward and winced. God, it was hot. You removed your shoes and socks before placing them neatly down onto the hot sand. Your feet met with the tiny sediments, and your first instinct was to curl your toes into them. You relished the feeling of exhilaration of gave you. You had only been to the beach twice when you were younger. Your parents had taken you to the Dead Sea. You were a pretty sucky swimmer when you were younger. You remembered screaming as your parents tried to gently put you underwater. You were constantly getting water in your nose; plus, you were beyond terrified of sharks, but even more of jellyfish. The little parasites full of electricity waiting to zap you and kill you freaked you out. Ah, you and your parents had the best times.

Your parents. How could you have forgotten them?! Panic overtook you, and you began to jog. That jog turned into a sprint. Before you knew it, you were sailing throughout the forest, your waist-length hair flowing in a wild, untamed, flurry behind you. The trees rushed past, and came to an end where you stopped. The sand that you were currently stepping on trailed off into a large body of water. The sea. Or the ocean. You weren't sure which, but frankly, you didn't care.

There was several pools of water along the seaside, and two boys were alongside it: one chubby but cute, and the other a gorgeous blonde. You felt your cheeks heat up as you watched the guy pull his shirt off, and then his pants and underwear. He then proceeded to jump into the water with a loud yell.

Completely red-faced, you gulped and approached the two boys. The chubby one was sitting on a ledge, watching his companion push himself through the water. "You can't half swim."

They didn't even notice you approach them.

"Piggy."

You watched with slight interest as 'Piggy' removed his footwear and tested the water with his big toe. "It's hot!"

"What did you expect?"

"I didn't expect nothing. My auntie-"

"Sucks to your auntie!"

Rude as it was, the comment made a laugh escape your pink lips, and making both boys look back at you.

"Hi," you waved shyly, smiling a bit. The two boys took notice of their current unclothed state, and immediately started to hide themselves and find their clothes. You flew into a panic after them.

"Oh, n-no, it's fine, really! I'm used to it! Please don't feel uncomfortable!"

Piggy and the blonde turned to look at you with a strange look.

"Really?" Piggy asked.

"Yeah. A lot of the boys I went to the beach with liked to swim naked. I don't judge them. It must feel nice. Especially in this hot weather."

The blonde nodded, settling himself back into the water.

Shaking your head a little, you turned to Piggy, a gentle smile on your face. "So, I'm [Name]. Piggy, right?"

It was Piggy's turn to look away sheepishly. Pink dusted his cheeks as he awaited your jeers. To his surprise, you did nothing of the sort. "That's a nice name."
