You make your way over to the island, where you had stranded Lucas and Amanda. You all get on the raft, leaving your wheelchair on the dock thing and leaning on Robert for support. You reach the other side and you once again jump onto Robert's back. (I just yelled at my mom for looking over my shoulder yikes) You arrive back at the picnic site and see a third person sitting there. It was your mom. 

Mom: Hey sweetie!

Y: Mum! How are you feeling?

M: I have felt better, but I am doing okay. What about you?

Y: I feel great, now that you are here.

M: I am glad. And here's your birthday present.

Y: You didn't have to.

M: Yes I did.

She hands you a stack of small boxes. You unstack them and open the smallest first. Inside are a pair of earrings, in your birthstone.

You set them aside gently after thanking your mom. You open the second largest box, and inside is a bracelet, also in your birthstone. You slip it on your wrist and thank her once more. You reach for the final, larger box. Inside is a necklace and a letter, which has a polaroid strip in it. (like those things from photo booths)

It reads:

Hey! I hope you are enjoying your time in Australia! We wanted to send you this picture of us as a way for you to remember us while you are there. We found our favorite poses and took them to a photo booth. We missed you on the day we took this, but we know we will see you again someday. love ya sis ~ b/f/n

Hello, or well, g'day! We hope you enjoy this polaroid and I personally hope to see you again, sometime, someday, maybe after you've married that Aussie you love. *wink* Enjoy Australia, and for God's sake STOP GETTING HURT~ Alex

Y: Alex is way too flirtatious oh God.

(at this point I remembered I was set to be a dunk tank victim in a few days, also having to be chucked down a waterslide)

What's up? I hope you love Australia as much as we love you. We certainly hope -~-'~ ugh alex messed me up sorry, anyway I certainly hope you are having a good birthday and have an amazing time. ~ Max

Y: Bruh, Alex should stop making Max mess up. Anyway this was so sweet.

You see the necklace is also in your birthstone. You stand up and thank your mom, giving her a large hug.

R: I think we should hit the town now and basically have a day out, all of us.

B: Yessssss, let's do it.
