Day four on the boat. Kaylea and Mark were about to throw the diapers over board when Kami suddenly screamed.

"There! Tell me I'm not seeing things. That's a mountain, right?"

They all looked to where she was pointing. And behold, there, in the far distance, a mountain was rising on the horizon.

"Finally!"

They were all chatting excitingly amongst themselves.

"We have to get there, start paddling everyone. Use your hands if you have to."

Alexandra snorted at Jamie's remark.

"I don't think we have something else, really Jamie."

They started paddling with their hands towards the island. Jamie had thrown his feet over the edge of the boat and started moving them up and down, giving a little extra speed to the boat.

Dolphins had appeared on the side of the boat. Kaylea, Kami and Alexandra had stopped paddling to look at the beautiful creatures.

"If there are dolphins here, that means there are no sharks. We can at least wash ourselves in the water. Just be careful not to get it in your cuts. Oli, the cold water might do some good on your ankle."

Mark took of his shirt, soaked it in the water and put it back on, sighing with relieve. Alexandra looked from him to Kaylea, who sat next to her and wiggled her eyebrows. Kaylea laughed and covered her mouth quickly.

"Not a sight for sore eyes, huh."

Alexandra whispered the words to Kaylea, whose face turned a dark shade of red instantly.

"Neither are the other guys to be honest."

Alexandra looked at Jamie, who was washing his face and seemed oblivious to the world around him for the moment. Kami sat on the edge of the boat and let herself in to the water gently, making sure her hand wouldn't get wet. The cool water felt refreshing after the blistering heat. Oliver had almost mimicked Kami in letting himself down in to the water gently.

"The water feels great, you should come in too Alex."

Alexandra looked at him over her shoulder and shook her head.

"If I get in, I'll never get out again."
