Chapter 5: The one where the boys get stranded

Two days had passed since we first arrived in Fiji. The resort was a beautiful place and the food was delicious. It was just like a dream, and today we were going to go on a catamaran tour. After Joey and I waked up we went to the buffet of the hotel and had breakfast with our friends. 

Then we went to the beach to take the boat and began our tour. The sea was calm and the seagulls sang. Soon our guide began to talk: "We are going to go to a little phantom island, and then we will go to a bigger island, where we will eat and do some relaxing activities like massages."We were incredibly excited. Rachel made photos of all of us in the catamaran, and later we arrived in the phantom island. 

"This is an incredible island, because it disappears at 13:30 every day, and it appears again at 7:00." Said our guide. Once we had abandoned the boat, Joey and I did snorkel. We saw a lot of fishes and corals. The sea was really beautiful and sight worthy in Fiji. Our friends, however, dedicated themselves to other things in the beach: Monica and Chandler were sunbathing, and Rachel and Ross sought shells. 

After doing this cute couples activities, we divided ourselves into boys and girls, well almost everybody, because Ross was still seeking for a perfect shell for Rachel. We talked a little and then our guide called us and we went to the catamaran. The boys appeared out of nowhere and then we realized, that we had let them om the island. "Pheebs!" "Monica!" They shouted, but it was too late, we could do nothing about it anymore, because the wind was pushing us in the other direction.

They were stranded, and the worst part was, that Ross was still seeking the shell and hadn't even noticed it. Chandler and Joey began to panic: 

- "We are stranded!" 

- "I know! And I was planning to propose to Phoebe in the island!" Joey started to throw stones into the ocean. 

- "Do you think they will come back?"

There was a silence and no one talked, until Ross suddenly appeared out of the undergrowth.

-"I've found it Rachel" 

Chandler and Joey looked him with astonishment. "Too late pal! They're gone!" Said Chandler. Ross sat down in the sand with sadness and took his hands to his head.

On the other island, there was us, the girls "having fun" and having a massage. "Don't you miss them?" I asked. "No." Said Monica and laid her head in the pillow. "Actually I do!" Said Rachel, and Monica began to quarrel with her.

- "Meh, they will probably come back swimming!"

- "No, I don't think so Monica!" 

- "Yes, they will!" 

Then the massage ended and we were at the end of the island looking at the other island. It just seemed so far! "No they won't!" Said Rachel looking at it. "C'mon, we are going to the island right now!" I ordered. "No!" Monica replied to me. I took the Katamaran and putt it on the coast. Rachel took Monica in her arms and carried her on her neck to the catamaran, because she didn't stop saying No. 

After a while we were on the sea heading to the island where the boys were, when suddenly a hole appeared on the katamaran. "Oh no!" I said "What happened?" Rachel asked. "There's a hole in the boat!" I shouted

They boys were freaking out at the sight, that we would never come to save them. Joey started digging a hole in order to breath when the water had arrived to the island, Chandler was lying on the sand, because he wanted to be in peace when the water arrived and Ross was hyperventilating. 

In the boat, I was trying to block the hole and I came up with the idea of using our T-shirts. So we did and, somehow, we managed to fix it. We headed again to the island and got there in fifteen minutes. It was 13:00, and the island was going to disappear in half an hour.

When we arrived to the coast Joey's the water started to enter into Joey's hole and he shouted:  "Oh no, my hole!" He hadn't even noticed we were there. "Hi Joey!" I said to him. Then he looked at me and smiled. The boys got to the boat and we went to the island where we were before. 

When we arrived, Joey said to me: "You're better than my hole!" And we kissed. When we finished our lunch, Joey took me to the coast and proposed to me. "When I first met you, all these years ago, I thought you were beautiful, then I knew you have a great personality, and when we first kissed I knew you were perfect for me...I know that we officially started our relationship that day on my birthday, but I had been in love with you since the first day I saw you...You are my lobster and I love you..., so, in this sunny day, I Joseph Francis Tribbiani, ask you Phoebe Buffay, if you would like to be my wife..." I cried and said yes. He put the ring on my finger and we kissed passionately.

When we returned to the hotel, Chandler gave me the ring he had bought for Joey and said: "Here, take the ring I bought for Joey, because stupid Ross didn't even bother to say that he had your ring this whole time when we were searching for it!" We all laughed and then we went to our rooms.
