Jay was having a party tomorrow night after the storm had passed over but he really wanted his friends there with him but he didn't want to say because he knew they wouldn't come anyway. They don't even know he is having a party, which is really upsetting as Jay wanted them to come badly! Now it's midnight and Jay can't sleep he keeps thinking about his friends and hopes they're okay if they're stuck in the storm. He dreamt that they came to his party and they all had a blast but when Jay woke up he knew that would never happen because Estelle is back home on her island and the twins are back in their cave...but they aren't!!! Unfortunately for Jay they're abandoned on an island somewhere but will the island stay sustainable whilst the worst of the storm happens? Xabi, Neesha & Estelle needed to make a shelter and fast!!!! They didn't have much resources but now they had to act fast as the storm was getting worse and quickly unluckily for them. Jay was back home worrying and decided maybe he shouldn't have his party just yet because of the storm, "Can I postpone my party because of the weather?" Jay asked his parents. "Sure I wouldn't like it raining on my welcome back party" they laughed.

"Wow, well I think that's our chance blown of finally getting to see my island, why is the weather so mean" Estelle joked. "I know the weather always does this whenever we go anywhere this is just annoying now right?" Exclaimed Xabi. "Yep" sighed Neesha. Jay sat looking out of his window at the raindrops trickling down the window staring at his reflection and once again he was reminiscing the brilliant times he had whilst he was gone. He wished that he could just have that one final moment with them and stay with them for one more day. Outside on Olegan Pier the waves crashed over exploding in the air like a volcano or a party popper making Jay think of his party which wasn't far off! Whilst back in their makeshift accommodation Xabi was checking up on the fire adding more and more wood as the winds made it colder and colder forcing itself through all the little cracks and holes it could get into. The shelter was going to end up in pieces if they don't add more support. Neesha ran out got the tall and thick logs and ran back in the shelter " Here Xabi, Estelle try using these to keep the shelter hatched down and warm. Maybe they can hold down the edges of our 'walls' and possibly keep the warm in and more secure". Neesha suggested. "What a brilliant idea!" Estelle chimed happily.

Jay decided not to waste his time and go to the village to pick up some things for the party! He arrived at the corner gift shop 'CLOSED'. Then he walked across the cobbles to the small shop right in the middle of the long strip of shops this shop was called "Party Emporium" but once again the sign said....'CLOSED'. "Oh well, we must have some stuff hidden around our house somewhere" Jay thought "Oh yes, the wardrobe full of birthday banners and badges and other small fun games. Jay was throwing junk about across the room just to find at least one banner or one single badge but nothing could be found in all the clutter. "Whaaaaaat? This is strange it's usually full and packed with birthday ideas!" Jay was puzzled and really confused by this. He realised something fishy was going on... It was turning dark now which meant only a few more hours till Jay's official welcome home party which looked dull up to now as none of the decorations could be seen anywhere! Jay went to sleep at midnight with the moonlight shining into his room as if it was signalling him. He ignored this and decided to carry on sleeping did he make the right decision?

NEXT DAY:
"Ahhh" yawned the three adventurers who had been trapped in the storm yesterday. Xabi poked his head out "All good. Weather is back to normal and sky is crisp blue looks so marvellous I do adore nature and its beauty! Neesha come look". She ran over and peeped her head out forcing the shelter entrance out of her way and letting the bright sun beam into their little peaceful home! "Ahhhh how pretty" Neesha soulfully sang she was dazzled by the nature and captured in all its essence.

Jay woke up later than usual as he was feeling down. He couldn't believe they had forgot about his welcome home party and they had been the ones who suggested to do it in the first place. This really blew Jay's mind away how could they forget something so important in such a short space of time!

Now the three of them were sailing and looking for another island to stop off at before heading back home. They were travelling in the wind's direction so they could get there more sufficiently and quicker. As soon as the wind caught the sail they were off as fast as lightning zooming away through the ocean. The bright blue ocean water leaving white mists behind which looked so majestic as they travelled onwards. "OH MY GOD! AN ISLAND! AN ISLAND!" Xabi shouted. "Lets all bring the sail in and slow down so we don't crash into the rocks on the edge of the island then" Neesha ordered. "Come on we can do this! PULL! PULL! Yes it's working but we need to hurry up we are still going pretty quick and could soon end up colliding with the rocks!" Estelle panicked. All of them use all of their strength and it finally pulled off! The boat stopped JUST on time.

Jay ran downstairs and out after finishing his morning routine he open the front door and to his surprise his whole family and village were right there within two metres away from him just like they were the other day! His mind had so many thoughts about guessing how many people and to support him and how many people he knew! All these thoughts rushing through his mind like a blur, he shut the front door sprinted through the crowds...(meanwhile)

Estelle, Xabi & Neesha all saw this massive crowd and decided to join on at the back so they could blend in and not get caught when suddenly they heard footsteps like running really fast running and the crowd seperated to find that at the end of the separated path was Estelle + Xabi + Neesha.

"JAY!" They all screamed jumping for there life's with excitement!
"I simply can't believe it this is impossible how did this happen?!?" Said Jay astonished to see all his friends for one final time!
"I have no clue but let's live in the moment and spend every last minute together there's no time to waste now!" Estelle cheered followed by Xabi shouting "Yay! Reunited again!".

The four of them all together again finally something good had happened to them all most of them crying tears of joy after not seeing each other for what felt like forever! Now Jay, Estelle, Xabi & Neesha were all going to start life together and happy. "Wow! Jay I never knew about these friends introduce me please! I must meet them!" Talia , Jay's older sister pleaded. "Sure they would love to meet you as well" Jay smiled.

"We are all never apart! EVER!" Said Estelle confidently.

All of them placed there hands on top of one another and shouted "FOREVER" whilst raising there hands in the sky cheering so loud the whole world could've heard them!
By each other's sides forever no matter what they were all so happy and couldn't wait for a new bright and fresh future living together at Olegan! This would be the best and most fun experience in their whole lives Jay went round hugging each and every one of them saying "You mean so much to me" Estelle winked back , Xabi chuckled and Neesha gave the most proud smile ever.

They were the most brave people ever to have stepped foot on Olegan grounds and that made them feel so special and proud of themselves. All of them were the happiest people alive!
