"Hmmm we are not alone in here" says Sugarplum while she looks around to see if she sees anybody. This is getting scary! she says while she gets closer to Jake.
"What we are going to do? what about if there is a civilization lost in the middle of the forest!"
Jake studies the scene before him.
"This is a small island, Sugar. So far I've seen no sign of habitation, recent or otherwise.
"In all likelihood someone used to come here to worship. But I will make a more complete survey of the place".
Curious now, he begins digging around the stone. A little areheological excavation was obviously in ordere here.
"Look there Jake!!!! Oh my goodness!!!! an imprint in the sand!" says Sugarplum pointing franctically towards a 'face' that someone has drawn on the sand....I knew it, I knew it! somebody is watching us!"
"Listen, there is somebody here...I feel it. Who is out there??" Sugarplums shouts. Nobody answers it. The sea seems very calm, we can only hear the birds singing. Jake is extremely quiet investigating the scene and Sugarplum is getting nervous and anxious every minute."
"How Sweetgurl can be sleeping with all this commotion!!!. She sleeps like a baby".
"Jake, let's go to investigate. If it doesn't bother you, I would like to hold your hand...is that okay? I'm really scared. "
Sugarplum and Jake go to investigate while Sweetgurl is asleep in the shelter. But...WHAT???!!! What is that coming from that coconut tree???!!!!"
Jake gets one of the large sticks he had acquired, hefting it experimentally.
He heads down the beach, looking for tracks.
[offtopic]GM- Jake will make a circuit of the island, looking for tracks. Depending on what he finds, he will then begin a methodical search inland, looking for any signs of other inhabitants.[/offtopic]
After a survey of the island there can be found no living creature save you and your crash buddies. You believe that whatever or whoever brought the statue to the island has long gone.
Jake spends the rest of the day dividing himself between tasks. The first is expanding the hole on the beach. He explains to the ladies that, when finished, it will make a natural trap for fish.
When the tide comes in they will swim around in it; when the tide recedes, they will be trapped in it. He plans to eventually line the bottom with rocks, both to stabilize it and create a small eco system.
He also works on the second lodge, helps in gathering firewood and begins plaiting rope from palm fronds and tree bark.
In addition, he splits the scissors, effectively making two knives, one of which he gives to Sugar.
Having found a few suitable rocks, he begins chipping away at one, aiming to make an axe head.
Sugarplum sighs watching Jake working so hard.
"Sweetgurl, don't you think Jake is a sweetheart? You know, he's strong, smart, and caring...*sigh*.
"Okay, I better start to work" says Sugarplum shaking her head like if she was in some kind of dream. She starts picking some woods for the fire and thinking that tonight over dinner is a good opportunity for her to know Jake. After all, he seems so deep in his little world and work that he hardly speaks to her, he only talks to her about things to do and nothing else".
"Dinner is ready!, Sugarplum shouts."
"Guys, Ummm...I was thinking that.. Ummmm we don't know much about each other, we work all day long but we hardly speak to each other. It would be nice if we can share more about us, what we do in our normal lives, hobbies, you know...things that we can make us know more about our personalities and dreams".
"For a moment everything is in silence until Sugarplum,
breaks the silence by serving the food to both of them, Jake and Sweetgurl". Here it goes guys, hope you all enjoy it."
"...Sugarplums waits anxiously  to see what Jake have to say...She wants to know more about him. She wonders if he likes her or if he's just too busy and concern to worry about love at this time"
:spock: From the shock of it all and possibly a self inflicted heat stroke due to a warming of the blood and frustraded mind over present circumstances SweetGul faints suddenly and will not be considered up until she posts or until 'nature' takes its course.
