A Hard Decision

It was a great surprise that my 2 best friends Lenora who is a girl, Mike a guy and I get all an expense paid trip to the Bahamas. We are on a private jet now over the Atlantic Ocean, a great storm came and lightning filled the sky surrounding the jet. Suddenly the right engine explodes. The captain of the plane yells, "Fasten your seat belts and prepare for a harsh landing." The plane suddenly jerks downward, an island suddenly zoom in front of the jets front window, with a loud explosion and a trail of smoke, it crashes. My friends and I quickly left the wreckage. As soon as we left and out of harms way, the remaining fuel within the jet burns and the wreckage explodes killing the captain inside completely destroying the jet.

Lenora: *screams and hugs me* Help my love! We're stranded on an Island!
Ace: *returns her hugs and smiles* we will survive, no need to worry.
Mike: *shakes his head and watches the love birds* come on you two, lets make camp!

My friends and I make camp with our camping packs, each of us has 6 days worth of food, 1 canteen of water, 1 medical pack, 1 sleeping bag, and 1 machete. We start to make a fire and the sleep. As we awaken the next morning at the crack of dawn, we noticed a dramatic increase in temperature which became humid as time passed.

Lenora: *fans herself with a leaf* It's hot! *smiles and goes over to my side* lets all go into the lush jungles and seek materials to make us some sort of shelter.
Ace: *smiles* of course anything but to see you suffer my love
Mike: *yawns* so soon?
Ace: unless you want to fry here on the beach! *giggles*

To escape the heat we decided to do what Lenora suggested. As we began to seek materials to make shelter, Lenora steps into a quicksand.

Lenora: *screams* Help! *Mike and I hear her screaming*
Mike: I'll help!
Ace: me too! Wait up Mike!

Mike and I quickly come to the rescue by grabbing her outstretched arms and pulls her out. After expressing gratitude for being rescued from a near death experience, we continued our search for the materials.

Lenora: thanks my best of friends! *blows a kiss to me and hugs Mike*
Ace: sure no problem! *smiles*
Mike: think nothing of it! *mumbles rather jealous*

After a brief moment has passed, they find the necessary materials to build a reasonable sturdy shelter. They proceed to construct the frame of their shelter. Mike suggests climbing a palm tree to get leaves for the roof of their shelter. A rather annoying monkey on top tosses coconuts and causes him to loose his grasp on the tree and plummet to the ground below knocking him unconscious.

Mike: aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! *thump*

Lenora and I see him lying there unconscious under the tree we rushed to his side and checks for a pulse. Feeling no pulse we begin to perform CPR, Mike awakens rather furious at the monkey.

Mike: *yells and curses at the monkey* @#$%&^%$$%!
Lenora: *lets out a sigh of relief* thank god you're okay! *smiles and hugs Mike*
Ace: *smiles and pats Mike* welcome back! *giggles*
Lenora: you should be more thankful that you survived! *smiles and giggles*
Mike: *blushes with embarrassment* thanks you two!

Mike frightens the monkey by picking up the coconut next to him, the monkey flees. I then climbed up the palm tree and retrieved the leaves for the shelter. Five days past by as food rations are diminishing.

Ace: We need to start hunting and gathering food.
Lenora: *hugs Ace fearfully* we need to hunt?
Ace: *nods to Lenora* we go tomorrow at the crack of dawn to hunt, now rest.
Mike: *smiles and waves to Lenora* I will protect you as well!
Lenora: *goes over to Mike* sure you're my hero.
Mike: *embraces her* I will protect you with my life!
Ace: *ahem* Lets rest! *Lenora and Mike quickly go to their separate beds*

Early next morning we pack our camping gears and head towards the unsuspecting dangers that lie ahead. As we continued deep into the forest Lenora and Mike accidentally stepped into a viper's nest. The vipers' being disturbed lashes out and bites them on their shins.

Lenora: *rather surprised* Ow!
Mike: *startled as he hears Lenora but he is bitten as well* Ow!
Ace: *panics and is frozen stiff*

In response I watch in horror as Lenora and Mike backs away and falls onto their knees. I quickly open my camping bag and take out a viper's poison antidote. I panic as I realized I can only save one of my friends, takes out my machete and slices the vipers heads.

Ace: *rather pissed* take that, that, and that! *repeatedly slices the vipers*
Lenora: *manages to speak weakly* help me my love.
Mike: *speaks weakly* help me Ace.

I quickly open my medical kit and clean the wounds from both my friend's shins. I decide to give half to each of them, I then carry them both back to our shelter. As soon as I finished covering their wounds I then remember back to my science studies.

Ace: *to himself* there is a plant that can cure a viper's poison.
Lenora: *quietly sleeps*
Mike: *quietly sleeps*
Ace: *goes over to kiss her forehead* my love I will find this mystical plant!
Lenora: *a tear drips from her cheeks but is sound asleep*
