  Ralph stood up in embarrassment.  "For the last time Percival, we're not going to play 'house!'" Percival screwed up his face and bawled. The assembly groaned in annoyance. Roger raised his voice, "Shut up you stupid kid!" The assembly joined in, scolding the littleun unfairly. Finally Piggy spoke up. "Guys let's just do it and get it over with. We don't have to use all of our effort." Simon nodded at Ralph, who, in return, rolled his eyes and gave in. "Alright everyone, this'll only take five minutes or so," Samneric laughed and danced in circles around Jack.

"Jack's our daddy!" They snickered. Everyone else jeered and agreed that Jack should be the father, and Jack flushed at the strange title.

Ralph stood up. "Before anyone says I'm the mother, I name myself as the eldest brother."

Percival beamed and clapped his hands, "I'll be the little brother!"

"We're in the middle!" The twins sang.

"So 'house' it is . . ." Simon talked to himself pondering what role he'd play.

In the middle of all the chatter Jack found his way to you. Without asking, he grabbed your wrist and pulled you up to his bare chest. "(Y/N) is the mother!" He flashed a shrewd grin that only you seemed to notice. "Hey! Jack," You retorted, "Please let go of me-"

"-Quiet Sweetie, we don't want to argue in front of the kids now, do we?" You blushed.

Ralph's eye twitched. And Percival ran after Piggy yelling "Pet the puppy! Pet the puppy!"

"I ain't any puppy!" Piggy whined.

Simon lit up, "Oh! I can be the cat!" But no one paid mind to his him and his offer. Piggy's thin hair being pet by Percival took all the attention.

Jack licked the tip of your ear, and you grimaced. "Um, J-Jack . . . ?"

"What?" He smirked and unhanded you.

Roger stared your way. "Hey (Y/N), if you're the mother, make us some food. Uncle Roger's hungry as a wolf!" Sam jumped into Roger's arms saying "I'm hungry too Uncle Roger!" Samneric laughed in unison. So you picked out the best looking fruits and divided them up equally for everyone. Johnny yelled "Girls first!" And snatched up a ration. He must be a sister. Maurice lined up second. Samneric darted to him. 

"Who are you Maurice?-"

"To be lined up second-"

"And choose the better pile?"

Maurice spoke through a mouthful of banana "Me? . . .  I'm the um," He swallowed. "Aunt."

The twins giggled.

Ralph looked up at the sky. It was getting dark, he thought. "Guys, we should call it a night." Some littleuns left for their shelters to sleep, satisfied with the play. Jack looked down at Ralph, grinning. "For you, my son, it is bedtime. As for I and your mother," He shot a glance at you. "We'll be up a while."

"Why should you two be up anyway?"

"Well" Jack met Simon's eyes. "Simon needs a part in this,"

"So?" Ralph raised a brow.

"So Mommy and Daddy are gonna 'have another child' . . ."

Your face burned, and you looked away, not knowing how to handle such a thought.

Ralph was confused. "How, exactly?"

You prepared to hear details.

"We'll kill a kid!"

You and Ralph were dumbfounded. The twins and the other kids laughed and skipped away from Jack, as if to narrow his options to killing Ralph. Jack pretended to stab Ralph with an imaginary knife. Ralph walked off in annoyance, and fell asleep in his shelter.


Time passed, and soon everyone but Jack and you were asleep in their shelters. It was becoming obvious you liked to be with him, so you shyly walked to your shelter, which you share with the twins.

In a display of brotherly love, you entered to see Samneric lying together sharing a pile of palm leaves as a blanket. They always look cute when they sleep.

You laid on your side of the small shelter, and fell asleep. Your stinging eyes opened to see a blurry smirk in the dark. Who's that? Is the beast? You blinked to adjust your drowsy eyes, and Jack neared his face to yours. "Look alive, Sunshine~" 

"Ah!" You sat up quickly and collided heads with him. You were in his shelter. He winced and then grinned down at you. "Wouldn't want to wake up everyone, would we (Y/N)?"

". . . (O///O) . . ."

"That's what I thought . . . know what we're going to do together? Hint, Ralph's going to hate it."

"Uhhh" (lennyface? : D)

"We're skipping the meeting tomorrow!" He rubbed his hands together menacingly.

"And what?"

"Pig hunting!"

You faked a smile at the ground.

"Oh, and (Y/N)" You looked up at him. "I found this when I skipped last meeting."

He held out a rose to you, and you shyly reached for it. Admiring it in your grasp, you found yourself tearing of joy that Jack Merridew actually liked you. Your voice quiet and shaky thanking him, "Thank you Jack" Then, out of nowhere Jack pulled you in for a kiss. It was the best moment in your life. "(Y/N) I love you!" He bursted, purring. You nuzzled into his chest, embracing, "And I have always loved you!"


Percival walked back to his bed, and dreamt of kisses from his mother.

Roses don't grow on tropical islands, I don't think.

And yes, Jack can purr.
