Scene 1:

It's finally time to go to Slade Island. The group is meeting at a dock, to head off into the island on Heather's speedboat, where they will camp. Right now, it's early in the afternoon. Noah and Duncan are walking to the dock, while talking.

Duncan: Okay, I admit it. I like Heather.... Feels weird, saying it out loud.

Noah: You like her? You sure as hell didn't take any action during the whole school year.

Duncan: Well, you like Indy, and you didn't take any action either.

Noah: Yeah, fair enough. Well, that changes once we get to Slade Island.

Duncan: Same. I already kissed Heather in Kiandra, so I have nothing to lose.

Noah: So, that's why you guys were acting so weird for a while.

Duncan: I guess. But hey, I kissed my crush, so I'm winning. You haven't kissed your crush.~

Noah: In my defense, my crush is a lesbian.

Duncan: Dude, at this point, I think she might not really be a lesbian.

Noah: Who knows... So, how are you gonna tell Heather you like her?

Duncan: Dunno. I'll just have to have the courage, to walk up to her, invite her to a dance, and kiss her... There's gonna be music there, right?

Noah: Yes. I think we're not gonna be the only ones camping there, but even if we were, one of the girls will probably bring their speakers.

Duncan: Alright... So, how are you gonna get Indy?

Noah: I did some research, and apparently Slade Island, because of a complicated geography thing, has like the longest sunset ever. Some people say it feels endless. And it has a very unique mix of orange and purple in the horizon, pretty cool. I guess I'll try to get Indy to watch the sunset with me, and just go for it.

Duncan: Impressive. Hopefully, by the end of this trip, we both have girlfriends.

[Meanwhile, Indy and Heather were already waiting for them, by the dock]

Heather: Why are they taking so long?

Indy: Relax, they'll be here any minute... So, I heard Slade Island is pretty romantic. Are you ready to be there, with Duncan?

Heather: I don't know what you're talking about.

Indy: C'mon, you like him. There's a thin line separating hate and love. You two hated each other back in Melbourne. It's for you two to fall in love here.

Heather: Who knows what will happen.

Indy: Yay, you're not denying it.

Heather: Girl, if something were to happen between me and Duncan, it would have happened already. We kissed in Kiandra, and then nothing happened.

Indy: Not true, he gave you that beautiful necklace... (notices the necklace on Heather's neck) And you're wearing it today, wow. You're so into him.

Heather: And what about you?

Indy: What do you mean?

Heather: I like how you're pointing the finger, but you're probably not a lesbian anymore, and you're in love with Max.

Indy: (in a sarcastic tone) Oh, I am a lesbian for real, and I'm not in love with Max, at all (winks).

Heather: Oh my god, did you just wink? You're in love with Max!

Indy: I have no clue what you're talking about (winks again).

Heather: You did it again... Something tells me this trip to Slade Island will be legendary.
