"Hey guys, let's get a move on." Randal said. The other two had decided to take a nap.

"Uh, yeah, let's do that." Chris said.

"I can't believe it guys, we got out, but it's three o'clock. We need to find our way out. Let's find someone.

The group began walking up the trail until they began hearing footsteps.

Randal brandished his stick and Christine hid behind him. His stomach clenched. He realised that if those were something like a jaguar he would actually be protecting someone, and this was Christine. Chris stood nearby waiting, he was trying to look tough but was scared out of his mind.

Then, out of the bushes stepped a thin man.

"Hey, can you help us?" Christine asked.

"Lo siento, no hablo inglés." The man said.

"Oh, guys he doesn't speak English, I'll take it from here." Randal said.

"¿Puedes ayudarnos?" Randal said. "Estamos peridos."

"¿Dónde tienes que ir?" The man replied.

"El Golden Palm Resort." Randal said.

"Espera, ¿sois los tres hijos que desaparecieron hace unos días?"

"Sí." Randal replied.

"Oh, si eso es cierto, ven conmigo, te llevaré al resort." The man said.

The group then went into the man's car and he drove them to the resort. All while Randal told him, in Spanish, what happened to them, while leaving out the parts about The New Jungle.

Once they got to the resort they were quickly met by Chris' parents.

"Oh, thank God your okay." Chris' mother shouted to Chris, hugging him tightly.

"Yeah. But we might not have lived if it weren't for Randal. He saved our butts from a giant snake, and he caught our food. Christine was a huge help. She picked, and brought salt." Chris stated.

The two mentioned blushed. Christine toyed with her hair while Randal tried his best to be prideful.

"Well, how did you get lost anyway?" Chris' father asked.

"Well, when the tree fell we ran. After we ran we ended up lost." Chris said. "That's honestly it."

"Well, you scared the Hell out of us." Chris' mother said.

"We know, sorry." Christine said.

"Well, I suppose we need to take all of those lost child posters." Chris' dad said.

"Well, we can do that later, do you guys want to go back home?"

"Ah, Hell no!" Chris replied.

"Hey, mind the language mister." Chris' mother said.

"Sorry mom." Chris replied.

"Well, we have five days left, let's make the most of it." Christine said excitedly.

"You know, if you hadn't gotten lost running for your life, you would be getting a huge lecture right now, but personally I would much rather be doing anything else." Chris' dad said.

The group then walked off in direction of the resort.

Upon getting back the three immediately washed up, got into a change of clothes and went to sleep. Finally they could sleep without one of them keeping watch. After a few hours the group woke up and were happy to see that it was still daylight.

"So, kids," Chris' mom said upon seeing the three in the living room. "What do you want to do for dinner."

"Buffet!" Chris said.

"Hey, buffets are gross, all of those people touching the food and, oh screw it lets go to a buffet." Christine said.

"I take it your in the mood for real food." Chris' dad said.

"Hell yeah!" Christine shouted.

"Language missy, what in the world has gotten into you?" Chris' mom asked.

"In her defense, what has gotten into her was about nine days worth of fish." Randal joked.

"Well pretty soon nine days worth of soap is going to be in all of you if you don't start watching your language." Chris' mom said jokingly.

The group went out and ate, with relish. For the rest of the vacation the three friends did little more than relax, swim at the resort, and enjoy finally being out of the jungle.

On the last day of the vacation the three were sitting in the living room talking about their experiences.

"I'm gonna gonna write an encyclopedia about the New Jungle, Encyclopedia of the New Jungle. I like it." Randal said.

"You get onto that." Chris said.

"I just can't believe it's over." Christine said.

It wasn't long until the three had to pack up and go to sleep, in order to leave the next morning.

The trip home was uneventful and soon the group was back at there houses.

"See ya." Christine called to the other two, and Chris' parents while she walked back to her house.

"Bye." The rest of the group called back.

It went like this for Randal to, and Chris parents then went back for home. This vacation was truly over.
