Jack
Jack woke up slowly, rubbing his eyes as he sat up and the morning sun broke over the waters. He smiled slightly before ditching the blanket he was wearing and diving into the surf.
Lazily backstroking, he looked back at the shore. Octavian and Bobby curled up like pippies under a rug...and the grey kid with his light o' love...no sign of the other two though.
He ducked under the water, opening his eyes to look down at white sand and shells, before turning over onto his back.
"Well, I should look for food, me thinks," Jack mused as he floated idly on the surface of the gleaming waters.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby yawned and crawled out from under the rug.
"Too bright... need curtains... need house... need bed... need to take a dump..."
He went crawling into the bush and down to the lagoon, where an earth shattering screech was heard, followed by triumphant laughter.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rebekah screamed, covering herself up.
"I SAW BEK'S TITS!"
Bobby went tearing through the bush.
Jonothon & Octavian
"I'll F*CKING KILL YOU, BOBBY!" Jonothon yelled.
"Yow..."
Octavian turned over and hid his head, moaning softly in pain from the worst hangover he had ever felt.
Angelo started as he woke up, before he kissed the back of Mirabelle's neck.
"Y vea, mi amor es tan hermoso como la luz del amanecer, y su cara me hace la sensación como cantar, porque ella es la luz de mi vida, de un sol sobre mis horas oscuras y de una comodidad a mi alma..." he half sung quietly into her ear. (And see, my love is as beautiful as the light of the dawn, and her face makes me feel like singing, for she is the light of my life, a sun in my dark hours and a comfort to my soul)
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby was already gone, diving into the ocean to wake himself up, still gloating about his victory.
Rebekah ducked under the water, then got out, and dried off, dressing quickly.
"Well... zat was embarrassing."
Mirabelle stretched out as she woke, then turned and kissed Angelo's nose.
"Mmm, morning."
Jonothon & Jack
"He is dead," Jonothon said as he got otu of the water and grabbed his jeans.
"I'm gonna break his scrawny neck. And then set fire to his body. And jump up and down on the bits after that. Then set him on fire again..."
Jack waved to Bobby, treading water farther out from shore.
"Hola!"
Angelo smiled and kissed her gently.
"Buenos días." (Good morning.)
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby swam over to him.
"Hello captain!"
Rebekah slid her arms around his waist and kissed his neck.
"You could... or..."
Mirabelle kissed him back, then sat up, reaching for a shirt.
"How'd you sleep?"
Jack & Jonothon
"And how are ye this fine morning?" Jack asked cheerfully.
Jonothon sighed, turning around to kiss her.
"Please? Let me kill 'im just a smidge?"
"Good," Angelo said.
He leant over to grab his pants.
"You?"
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby shrugged.
"Can't complain. Saw Bek's tits."
Rebekah kissed him slowly, sliding a hand down his pants.
"Well, it's either kill him, or we pick up where he interrupted..."
Mirabelle rubbed her head.
"Not bad, considering we're sleeping on an air bed."
Jack & Jonothon
"Ah, and how were they?" Jack asked with interest.
"But, but...alright, I'll kill him later," Jonothon conceded.
He kissed up her neck slowly.
"Want me to give you a back massage, mia amore?" Angelo almost purred.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby ducked under water, then resurfaced.
"Naked."
Rebekah laughed and kissed Jono softly.
Mirabelle smiled.
"You don't have to."
Jack & Jonothon
"Sky clad," Jack corrected.
"Or mayhap sea clad is a better term."
He ran his fingers through his dripping beard, smiling slightly.
Jonothon undid his pants and pushed them down before stepping out of them.
"You're so beautiful..."
"Ah, but what if I want to?" Angelo asked, leaning up on his elbow to look at her.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby chuckled.
"Yeah, either way, view's quite good."
Rebekah nipped his neck, then bent down and licked his length.
"Maybe."
Mirabelle moved up and kissed him softly.
"Then you can?"
Jack & Jonothon
Jack laughed.
"So, do we have any plans for today? Besides eat. And drink."
"Ah god," Jonothon gasped.
Angelo kissed her back slowly.
"Si. Turn over, chica."
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby thought for a moment.
"No idea. Just that, I guess."
Rebekah took him into her mouth, humming slightly.
Mirabelle obediently turned over, resting her head on her arms.
Jack & Jonothon
Jack nodded.
"Doldrum days, lad. Just drifting..."
"Holy god!"
Jonothon threw his head back, moaning softly.
Angelo straddled her lower back easily before starting to work down from her shoulders and rubbing out knots as he went. He hummed a queer snatch of wistful melody under his breath as he massaged her gently.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby floated onto his back, drifting his hands through the water.
"Fun."
Rebekah took him further in her mouth, reaching up and rolling his balls gently between her fingers.
Mirabelle moaned softly in contentment.
Jack & Jonothon
"Thought I might go fishing later," Jack commented.
"See, there's dolphins out there. That means there's fish t' catch."
He waved out to sea with an absentminded flip of his hand.
Jonothon moaned loudly.
Angelo smiled to himself as he rubbed her back gently.
"Better, chica?"
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby nodded.
"Cool."
Rebekah grazed her teeth along the sensitive vein.
Mirabelle nodded.
"Mmmm, yes..."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack grinned slightly.
"And then I'll see wot I can do to get us out of 'ere, mate."
Jonothon's hips bucked slightly as he moaned.
"Good."
Angelo smoothed his hands over her shoulders, knuckles digging gently at her neck.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby nodded.
"Reckon you can do that?"
Rebekah took him further in her mouth, sliding her hand up and running her fingers across his nipples.
Mirabelle groaned softly.
"Oh, Godddd."
Jack & Jonothon
"O'course!"
Jack sounded almost affronted.
"I be the legendary Captain Jack Sparrow! And if I sets me mind to summat, I'll do it."
"Bek!"
Jonothon gasped as he came.
"Mmmmm...." Angelo purred.
He dug his thumbs gently into the base of her skull, rotating them slowly.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby grinned.
"So... how are we gonna get off this island?"
Rebekah swallowed and pulled back, wiping her mouth delicately.
Mirabelle moaned and closed her eyes.
"Mmmm."
Jack & Jonothon
"That part, I haven't quite figured out," Jack admitted.
"But there is a plan."
Jonothon pulled her up gently to kiss her, tongue dancing with hers.
"So, is it good for you?" Angelo dead panned.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby nodded.
"Ah, well... we can live here... well, no we can't..."
Rebekah kissed him deeply, sliding an arm around his neck.
Mirabelle laughed.
"As always."
Jack & Jonothon
"Your trust in me staggers the mind," Jack said before ducking under the water.
Jonothon moaned into her mouth, kissing her more.
"Ah, good," Angelo said.
"Hate to think I was losing my touch."
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby chuckled.
"Sorry. I miss toilets, is all."
Rebekah grasped his length gently, kissing him back.
Mirabelle nodded.
"Doubt you could."
Jack & Jonothon
"Tsk, tsk," Jack said.
"Show a little backbone."
And like what most contact of that kind between two people who love each pther very, very much leads to, Jonothon and Bek did the deed. Shagged. Made luuuuurve. Yada yada.
"Such trust in me," Angelo murmured.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"I miss wiping my ass with toilet paper," Bobby mused.
Rebekah kissed Jono gently, then put her clothes back on.
"We should go eat something."
Mirabelle nodded and shrugged slightly.
"Mmmm, ok."
Jakc & Jonothon
"Ne'er used it till I came here," Jack said.
"Paper's too precious to be wiping y'r ass with it."
"Or something," JOnothon agreed.
Angelo chuckled, continuing to massage her shoulders gently.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby shrugged.
"Not here, really. But I guess to you."
Rebekah smiled slightly.
"Shall we?"
Mirabelle moaned again.
"God, Angelo, if I felt any better, I'd be obscene..."
Jack & Jonothon
"This world is a wonder and a half," Jakc mused.
"But seeing miracles everyday, ye wouldn't be taking that much notice of 'em, I be thinking."
"I can kill Bobby now?"
Jonothon batted his eyelashes and pouted.
Angelo chuckled, still massaging her gently.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Nah, kinda take it for granted, I guess," Bobby said.
Rebekah grinned and kissed him.
"Not kill. Maim. Go, have fun."
Mirabelle moaned.
Jack & Jonothon
Jack nodded, eyes distant for a few moments.
"Damn me, I've seen dead men walk. I shouldn't be so surprised. Feel like taking a swim out to the dolphins?"
Jonothon smiled.
"Ta, luv."
He picked up his jeans and stepped into them.
"So, wot are yer doing with yer day while I hurt Bobby?"
"¿Mis manos son talentosas, no?" Angelo joked. (My hands are talented, no?)
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Sounds good, let's go!" Bobby exclaimed.
Rebekah shrugged.
"Sunbake, swim. Usual."
Mirabelle laughed.
"You're very talented."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack nodded and struck out towards the pod of dolphins with a quick stroke.
"Come on then, lad."
"Hurting Bobby is my usual."
Jonothon picked up his shirt and shrugged it on after he shook the sand out of it.
"Have fun."
"Oh, muy, muy," Angelo chuckled. (Very, very)
"In many ways."
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby dived under and followed him.
Rebekah nodded.
"You too."
She headed back to the camp.
Mirabelle smiled.
"Ah, ok, you can stop."
Jack & Jonothon
Jack moved into the center of the pod, whistling at the sleek grey bodies around him.
"Hello, beauties..."
Jonothon went off in the direction Bobby had before, whistling slightly.
"Bien," Angelo said easily, getting off her to lay beside her. (Alright)
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Awesome," Bobby said softly.
Rebekah joined Mirabelle and Angelo.
"Hey guys."
"Thank you... hey."
Jack
Jack scratched his fingers under one of their jaws and it whistled and clicked at him.
"Aye, you're a beauty, lady. So fine...and yer family's verra fine too..."
"Hola," Angelo said.
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby looked amazed.
Rebekah lay down on the sand.
"How'd you guys sleep?"
"Good," Mirabelle replied, leaning against Angelo.
Jack
"They're good luck, dolphins," Jack said softly.
One of the dolphins flipped over and he stroked its belly as it swam past. The human whistled and clicked back to them and they joined in the conversation.
Angelo put his arm around Mirabelle's waist.
"Muy bien, Bek. You?"
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
Bobby nodded and reached out and stroked the dolphin's belly.
Rebekah shrugged.
"Can't complain."
Mirabelle hopped up.
"I'm going to look at the breakfast situation."
Jack
"Aye, ye be a beautiful thing..." Jack crooned.
"Well, I'm getting a bit famished. What say ye to going back to shore and finding some breakfast?"
Angelo stretched slightly.
"That is a good idea, chica."
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Sounds good," Bobby said softly.
Rebekah watched Mirabelle go.
"I never thought I'd say this... but I really want to go back to New York."
Mirabelle went into the hut, looking around.
Jack & Octavian
Jack nodded.
"Farewell, beauties. We may be back later."
He gave one of them a farewell pat and then started to swim back to shore.
"Si," Angelo said softly.
"Jono must be going insane quietly with no way to do his music. Same for you, chica?"
"Your voices go through my head like drillbits. The light is evil. Kill me now," Octavian said in a muffled voice from under a blanket.
"Welcome to the land of the hangover, mi vato."
"I hate you."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby dived under, swimming swiftly after Jack.
Rebekah nodded.
"I want my guitar. I mean, composing would be amazing here."
Jack
Jack reached near shore, but stayed out where the water was above his waist.
"Any of you feel like throwing me some pants so I don't shock the ladies?"
"Si," Angelo agreed with Bek.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled and headed back to shore, in search of pants for Jack.
Rebekah lay back against the sand.
"But still... need the comforts of home."
Jack & Jonothon
"Thanks, lad," Jack called out to Bobby.
"Ah ha!" Jonothon shouted.
"Death for you now! Violent, bloody death, Bobby!"
"Not until I get my pants!"
Bobby and Rebekah
"You kill me, and Jack wears no pants and Bek gets to feast her eyes on his penis!" Bobby yelled.
"I said maim, not kill!" Rebekah called.
Jonothon & Jack
"Orright! Violent, bloody maiming," Jonothon sighed.
"Bobby, yer yellow bastard, come here."
"Not until I have some pants, mate! Have a heart!"
Bobby
Bobby raced up, grabbed Jack's pants, then darted back into the water, swimming for all his worth.
"NO MAIMING!"
Jonothon & Jack
"OH, THERE WILL BE MAIMING! Yer can't stay out there forever."
Jonothon folded his arms as he stood near the waterline.
"Thanks, lad," Jack said as he took his pants off Bobby and put them on with difficulty.
Bobby
"I didn't mean to see you guys! You shouldn't have sex in public toilet areas!"
Bobby floated in the water, looking nervous.
Jonothon
"Picky, picky."
Jonothon glared at Bobby.
"Still hurting yer. Badly. Pity there'll be no 'ospital to 'elp yer after."
Bobby
"I'm sorry!" Bobby yelled.
"But I needed to crap and then... I saw Bek's breasts! And shouldn't you be proud of her breasts?!"
Jack & Jonothon
"Give it up, mate," Jack said before he started to swim to shore.
"It's not like he touched her up. No harm in just looking."
"Pain, Bobby. Much pain."
Bobby
"No! I didn't touch her!"
Bobby looked worried.
Octavian & Jonothon
"I have much pain already! Cease this noise before I cause pain to you!" Octavian told Jonothon as he poked his head out from under the blanket.
Jonothon snorted dismissively.
"Tav, you're about as ferocious as a kitten right now."
Bobby
Bobby cautiously made his way to shore.
"No pain..."
Jonothon
"Yeah, that's right, BObby..."
Jonothon grinned a shark-like grin.
Bobby and Rebekah
"Bek, talk him out of it!" Bobby yelled.
"Hmm? Can't hear you," Rebekah said.
Jonothon & Octavian
Jonothon cracked his knuckles slowly, watching Bobby.
"A little respect for the dead," Octavian said.
"God, I want to die."
Bobby
"Bek! Jono! I'm sorry!" Bobby hollered.
Jonothon
"Do yer accept that, luv?" Jonothon asked, turning to Bek.
Rebekah and Bobby
"Hmmmm..." Rebekah grinned.
"Bek, I'm sorry, I'll never look at you naked again... or be anywhere near you again once we're off this island!"
Jonothon & Octavian
"I don't know if I'm convinced," Jonothon said.
"Oh god, let him get to shore," Octavian said.
"Just accept the damn apology and be quiet."
Bobby and Rebekah
"I'm very sorry," Bobby said.
"Ok, ok, I accept," Rebekah said, sliding her arms around Jono's waist.
Jonothon
"Fine," Jonthon sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I'll let him live."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby thanked God and waded back to shore, avoiding Jono and Rebekah.
Rebekah kissed Jono's neck.
"Anyway, what's doing with the food situation?"
Jonothon
"Ah, I'm not sure," JOnothon said.
He moved away from Bek slightly and walked over to punch Bobby in the face.
"That's fer perving on my girl, yer bastard!"
Bobby
Bobby held his eye.
"Yeah, well..."
He darted away again.
Jonothon & Jack
Jonothon shook his hand out.
"You're so dishonest, you could be a pirate," Jack said in admiration.
Rebekah
Rebekah went and sat back down on the sand.
Jack & Jonthon
Jack scratched his head.
"So, what are we doing today?"
"I have an idea."
Jonothon came back over to Bek.
"We have breakfast, then go find that stone."
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah kissed Jono softly.
"Sounds good."
Mirabelle went and rested her head on Angelo's shoulder.
Jack & Jonothon
"What type of stone?" Jack asked, eyes sparking in interest.
"Can we sell it?"
He picked up his shirt and shook sand out of it before putting it on and wrapping his scarf around his middle.
"Well, we're not finding it for us," Jonothon said.
Rebekah
Rebekah brushed some hair from her eyes.
"More for a race of... dolphin people."
Jack
"How interestin' like," Jack murmured.
"We consorting with demons now too?"
"Demons aren't so bad," Angelo said.
"Well, Spike wasn't. Dru should have been staked on sight."
Bobby and Rebekah
"Not to put a dampener on this stone finding plan... but how are we getting off this island?" Bobby asked.
Rebekah shrugged.
Jack, Jonothon & Octavian
"I will have a plan, possibly by this afternoon," Jack said cheerfully.
"With reassurance this fills me not," Jonothon said dryly.
He started to make breakfast over the fire, stoking the embers into life.
Octavian moaned softly and turned over.
"Pain...such pain..."
"Do we not have some Panadol so he'll shut up?" Jonothon asked.
Rebekah
"I don't think so," Rebekah said.
"Pain killers were the first to go... what with the excessive drinking."
Jonthon & Octavian
"POor luck then, mate," Jonothon told Octavian.
"God I hate you all."
"We didn't force the rum down your throat."
Rebekah
"That's true."
Rebekah sat down on the sand, letting the grains slide through her fingers.
Octavian & Jonothon
"The hate I have is hotter then the sun," Octavian murmured.
"Oh, give it a rest. Ange."
Jonothon stood.
"Right behind you, vato."
The two picked up Octavian, making him yelp, then moan in pain before they threw him in the water.
"YOU F*CKERS!"
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah and Mirabelle snickered quietly.
"You'll feel better after breakfast, Tav."
Octavian
Octavian picked himself out of the waves with immense shattered dignity. He was dripping wet and looked like he was about 12 before he carefully picked his way to shore.
Suddenly he seemed to levitate almost 3 feet in the air.
"What the F*CK DID I STEP ON?! AHHH!"
He was out on the beach in record time.
Rebekah
Rebekah stood up in shock.
"What happened?"
Octavian
"Ow, that hurts," Octavian said, lifting his foot and balancing unsteadily on one leg.
Blood dripped steadily down the sole of his foot.
"I really do not feel welll..."
Rebekah
"Ah..."
Rebekah shrugged slightly, and ripped the bottom of her shirt off, then helped Octavian sit down and bandaged his foot up.
"You've still got alcohol in your system, so your blood is thinner than normal. But you'll be ok."
Jack, Octavian & Jonothon
"Unless ye get the gangrene," Jack said in morbid good humour.
"Oh dear god..."
Octavian turned faintly green.
"By which time, we'll be away from here and you'll be able to heal easily," Jonothon said, glaring at Jack.
Rebekah
"You'll be ok."
Rebekah went into the tent and got the rum and some bandages.
She unbandaged his foot.
"Ok, this will sting."
She poured the rum over his foot, and then bandaged it again.
Jack & Octavian
"Ye'll be fine, lad," Jack said encouragingly, slapping Octavian on the back.
"I'm going to die out here," Octavian said firmly.
Rebekah
"You won't, Octavian," Rebekah said.
"If I haven't had any complications out here, you won't die either."
Octavian & Jonothon
"Be that as may, I believe I heard mention of food?" Octavian asked, looking around.
"Oh god!"
Jonothon flipped the burning bread out of the embers onto a plate.
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ckety f*ck..."
Bobby and Rebekah
"Aww burnt!" Bobby exclaimed.
He glanced at Rebekah.
"Um... Bek... don't take this the wrong way, but - "
"Hold that thought."
Rebekah got up and ran into the bush, retching.
Jonothon
"It'll be fine, just scrape the black bits off," Jonothon said dismissively.
"Bek luv, are you orright?"
Bobby and Rebekah
"Is she preggers?" Bobby asked.
Rebekah's only answer was to throw up.
Jonothon & Jack
"None of yer f*cking business!" Jonothon growled.
Jack chuckled.
"She's in the family way, I be betting."
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah went to the lake and washed her mouth out, holding her stomach gently, before returning to the camp.
"You're preggers?" Bobby asked.
She nodded.
"Whooo!"
Jonothon
"I swear, so close to hitting yer, Bobby..." Jonthon muttered.
"Yer want anuvver mickey, I'll be glad to h'oblige..."
Rebekah and Bobby
"It's ok, it was bound to get out," Rebekah said softly. She retched again.
Bobby backed away.
Jack & Jonothon
"Come sit here," Jack said to Bobby, patting the ground beside him.
"Oh, button it, Jack," JOnothon said.
"Oh, the puppy's got spine."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby went and sat next to Jack.
Rebekah winced and walked into the hut.
"Uh."
Jonothon
"Well, here's food. Don't like it, next time get your own damn nosh."
Jonothon served it out before picking up a plate for him and Bek.
"Feeling better, luv?" Jonothon asked as he entered the hut.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby snickered and started to eat.
Rebekah looked up and smiled weakly.
"Morning sickness... cramps... usual crazy pregnant lady things."
Octavain & Jonothon
Octavian smiled faintly as he picked at his food.
"The lower classes come up with some interesting expressions, what?"
Jonothon nodded, looking faintly worried.
"I hope we leave here soon. I don't like you being so far from Dr McCoy."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby laughed and scraped the burnt bits off his food.
"He's going to kill me one day. Well, it'll be a race... between him, Mordred and Logan."
Rebekah touched Jono's cheek.
"I think I can last a few more days without a check up, but oui, I hope we do leave soon."
Octavian, Jack & Jonothon
"You're very lucky to have avoided death or serious injury thus far," Octavian observed.
"Sound a bit like me, lad," Jack said.
"Everyone's always after old Jack. Can't imagine why, meself."
He grinned, gold tooth glinting.
Jonothon sighed and kissed her fingertips.
"I luv yer."
Bobby and Rebekah
"Well, Mordred and Jono I'm not so worried about... because Gwen and Bek wouldn't let them kill me... but Faith... she's a tricky one," Bobby said.
Rebekah kissed his cheek.
"I love you too."
She winced and held her stomach.
Jack & Jonothon
"That's the wench who fights like a brawler, isn't it?" Jack asked.
"Pretty piece."
Jonothon looked at her with concern.
"Are yer sure yer'll be alright till we get out of here?"
Bobby and Rebekah
"Yeah, but like you go near her and Logan gets his claws out... or maybe it's just when I go near her..." Bobby mused.
Rebekah nodded.
"OUi, I just need to sit for a bit."
Jack & Jonthon
"I'm of half a mind to try, when we get back," Jack mused.
"Let it not be said Captain Jack left a challenge unanswered, especially when it's a pretty lass. It's just getting around the jealous lover that's the problem..."
Jonothon helped her sit slowly.
"Better?"
Bobby and Rebekah
"I promise to give you a nice funeral," Bobby said, nodding.
Rebekah smiled.
"A little. Something feels a little cramped, but I'll survive."
Jack & Jonothon
"Ah, get away wit' ye. I won;t get meself killed. I'm too bad to die."
Jack grinned, tipping his hat slightly over his eyes.
"Only the good die young, lad, and I'm anything but good. Course, Elizabeth wanted me ter be. And I was, but not the way she first thought, ey?"
"Yer sure?" Jonothon said anxiously.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby chuckled.
"Well... I'll just warn ya that Faith can hit harder than most girls."
Rebekah nodded.
"Very. I can last."
Jack & Jonothon
"Oh, I've been slapped often enough my cheek's hardened to it," Jack said easily.
"Besides...I'm charming. Wonder if she's been to Singapore?"
"If you're sure..."
Jonothon kissed her neck gently.
Bobby and Rebekah
"Your choice, dude."
Rebekah smiled.
"I'm fine."
Jack & Jonothon
"Pleasant as this chinwag has been, I'm going to look at the boat and see what I can do to make the tub sail."
Jack sprang to his feet before staggering off.
"Blasted godforsaken rock...better get off ;ere before I run out of rum."
"Alright."
Jonothon kissed her.
"I just don't want you to get hurt..."
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby nodded and continued eating his breakfast.
Rebekah kissed him back.
"I'll manage. It'll be ok, I promise."
Jack & Jonothon
"Nah ni nah ni nah...really bad eggs...drink up my hearties, yo ho!"
Jack clambered up the side of the life boat and started to see what could be done to make it a sailboat.
"Now, ye cowfaced bitch...let's see what I can do to make ye into something of a proper lady, savvy?"
"God, I hope so..."
Jonothon hugged her gently.
Rebekah
Rebekah wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Come on, let's see what we can do about rescuing the dolphin people."
Jonothon
"Ok."
The pair went out and started to search the island for the stone that Delphina had described to them the day before.
Rebekah
Rebekah ducked under a low hanging branch, shooing away sand flies.
"Hmmm, harder than I first thought."
Jonothon
Jonothon offered her his hand to help her keep her balance.
"It's a nice place, but I wouldn't want to live here."
Rebekah
"True that."
Rebekah stopped suddenly, looking around.
"Where are we?"
Jonothon
"Somewhere in the middle of the island," Jonothon said.
"Why?"
Rebekah
"Feels weird. Different."
Rebekah shrugged.
Jonothon
Jonothon turned to look at her, eyes thoughtful.
"I think I know what you mean."
Rebekah
"Could it be here?"
Rebekah doubled over and fell to the ground.
Jonothon
"Ahhhh!"
Jonothon's hand went to his throat before it erupted into flame. His scream went from vocal to pyschic in a heartbeat as the flares burst hungrily from his body.
Rebekah
Rebekah rubbed her head as everything came flooding back to her, voices and emotions.
"Ow."
Jonothon
"I'd say it was a sight more then ow," Jonothon commented, picking himself up again.
His shirt hung open, blackened around the edges where the flares in his chest had burned through.
Rebekah
"Are you ok?" Rebekah asked.
She stretched her arms slightly, and a ball of psi fire appeared.
"Um... that's not my power."
Jonothon
"I will be. In a bit. Yowch."
Jonothon rubbed his head softly.
"That's a bit odd, luv."
Rebekah
"You're telling me," Rebekah said softly.
She closed her hand around the energy ball and it extinguished.
Jonothon
"Think that means that stone is hereabouts?" Jonothon asked.
"And um...should I try and reach the professor?"
Rebekah
Rebekah took his hands.
"We could both try... wait... if we get Mirabelle here, she's a teleporter..."
Jonothon
"Good point. But we should return the stone if we can. We said we would."
Jonothon laced his fingers together, thinking.
"I don't want to go through getting my chest blasted open again, really."
Rebekah
Rebekah touched his cheek.
"I don't imagine it's very pleasant. We'll find the stone, and return it, then you stay here, and I'll get the others. Telepathy returning doesn't hurt as much."
Jonothon
"Orright."
They started to search again.
Rebekah
After some time, they found the stone.
Jonothon
Jonothon sighed, looking at the stone.
"Let's get this back to the dolphin people then, luv."
He turned and started to walk back towards shore.
Rebekah
Rebekah followed, holding the stone carefully in her hands.
"Do we have to go underwater?"
Jonothon
"I don't know."
Jonotohn looked thoughtful.
"Shouldn't they just...hear us?"
Rebekah
"Place the stone in the water..."
Rebekah looked at Jono.
"I'm not hearing voices, right?"
Jonothon
"We'll both be insane together, luv."
Jonothon reached down to putt he stone in the water.
Rebekah
Rebekah watched as the water glittered brighter than before, and the stone disappeared, followed by a chorus of singing.
"Good sign, yeah?"
Jonothon
"God, I hope so..."
Jonothon cleared his throat.
"Should we go tell the others now? Though Jack might be slightly disappointed we won't be using his boat."
Rebekah
"He can sail back if he wants, but I need Dr McCoy."
Rebekah nodded and headed for the camp.
Jonothon
"Hey, we found a place where our powers work, we're going home," Jonothon announced.
"With the aid of Mira, of course."
Angelo sat up.
"Bit abrupt, vato."
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah shrugged.
"I need a doctor."
Mirabelle stood up.
"So... let's go?"
Octavian, Jonothon & Jack
"Someone will need to fetch Jack," Octavian said.
Jonothon nodded, before jogging off to the boat.
"Jack?"
"Aye?"
Jack looked over the side.
"We found a way to get home."
"And all my hard work for nuthin, aye? Damn me."
Jack jumped over the side.
"I'll just have to commandeer another ship."
Bobby, Rebekah and Mirabelle
"Ok, let's get this shit packed," Bobby said, hopping up to start.
Rebekah nodded and went into the hut, followed by Mirabelle.
Jonothon & Jack
Soon enough they were all packed up and headed towards the middle of the island. Jonothon clenched his fists before he stepped into the place where their powers would be released, crying out with pain once more as the flames erupted.
"Someone hand me my bandages? Don't want to hurt no one."
"Well...damn me," Jack said softly but sincerely.
Rebekah and Mirabelle
Rebekah handed Jono his bandages.
Mirabelle focused and ported them back to the mansion.
Jonothon & Xavier
Jonothon rewrapped quickly, head ducked to hide his eyes.
"Could you call come see me now, please?" Xavier requested softly, but undeniable anger runnning through his telepathic message.
Rebekah and Bobby
"Oh... dear," Rebekah said.
"Bugger me sally," Bobby chimed in.
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
"Well, it ain't gonner get better by waiting."
Jonothon sighed, and then started off towards Xavier's office.
"I feel so much better," Octavian said gleefully.
"I refuse to be daunted by Xavier."
Jack chuckled, before reaching out to muss Octavian's hair.
"Here's hoping you feel the same when he's done with ye."
Rebekah, Bobby and Mirabelle
They all arrived in Xavier's office and waiting for the berating.
Xavier & Jack
Xavier looked at them all solemnly, and even Jack squirmed slightly in uneasiness.
"I am very disappointed in you. Some of you more then others, because you should at the very least have known better..."
He crisply lectured them all on the follies of their behaviour, the clear disappointment more of a punishment then outright anger.
Rebekah and Bobby
They retreated out of his office, skittering off in all directions.
Bobby and Rebekah headed for the medlabs.
Jonothon, Octavian & Jack
Jonothon followed Rebekah, worry in his eyes.
Octavian decided he would be fine, without going to the medlabs and went off to his bed. Not alone of course. Jack went with him.
Bobby and Rebekah
Bobby flopped down on a bed.
"Hanky, I'm back! Ooh and smelly. I might take a shower."
Rebekah walked in after him.
"Dr McCoy, could I get a check up soon?"
Hank
"Of course, Miss LaVaughney," Hank said, looking up.
"Bobby, where on earth have you been?"
His nose wrinkled slightly.
"Actually, where have all of you been?"
Bobby and Rebekah
"Somewhere with no showers. Or toilets. Ooooohhhh! That reminds me!"
Bobby raced into Hank's toilet and shut the door, clicking the lock.
Rebekah sat down on a bed.
"Some island. Where our powers didn't work."
Hank
"Interesting. I have ventured conjecture on such places..."
Hank came over to Bek and started to examine her.
Bobby and Rebekah
A loud fart was heard from the toilet, followed by Bobby's raucous laughter... which was then followed with a shriek.
"MUST OPEN THE WINDOW! MANNNN! THAT STINKS!"
Rebekah shook her head slightly.
Hank
"There are no windows, Bobby, we're underground," Hank called out.
"Turn on the fan."
Bobby and Rebekah
Another loud noise was heard.
"Oh Jesus!"
Rebekah held her stomach.
"I had cramps while I was away..."
Hank
"I have to use that bathroom," Hank said regretfully.
"That would be to be expected. Some cramping is normal."
Bobby and Rebekah
The toilet flushed and Bobby appeared moments later, looking satisfied.
"I'll call the cleaning staff," he said, going for the phone.
Rebekah nodded.
"Ok, so everything looks ok? Oh God, Bobby, that smells!"
Hank
"Be thankful you do not have my enhanced senses," Hank said.
"Bobby, you are a veritable civet cat. Yes, Bek, everything appears to be fine."
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah nodded.
"Merci, Dr McCoy. I think I will go and have a shower now."
She stood up and headed for the bathroom upstairs.
Bobby grinned and then saluted Hank.
"Thanks for the toilet buddy. I'll get cleaned up and bring some food down, ok?"
Jonothon & Hank
Jonothon followed her quietly.
"Please," Hank said with dignity.
Rebekah and Bobby
Rebekah kissed Jono lightly.
"You ok?"
Bobby meanwhile, was in the shower already, singing and washing himself thoroughly.
Jonothon
"'M fine."
Jonothon put his arms around her waist.
"Just fine."
Rebekah
"Sure?"
Rebekah touched his cheek.
Jonothon
"Just tired."
Jonothon tilted his head slightly into her touch.
Rebekah
Rebekah nodded.
"I'm going to have a shower, but then... wanna just crash in your room?"
Jonothon
"Yeah..."
Jonothon smiled at her slightly.
Rebekah
Rebekah kissed him gently, then went to have a shower.
Jonothon
Jonothon went up to his room and lay down on his bed, thinking as he kicked off his boots.
Been a busy few days.
Rebekah
Rebekah went up after her shower and joined Jono on the bed, curling into his arms as she slept.
