Yep! Also, everyone please let me know if there are any problems on the front page.)

I blinked open my eyes and gasped in a deep breath-just as a wave came over my head and dragged me across wet sand. Gagging and sputtering, I lifted my head. Had I fallen asleep on the beach? Where was everyone? Why was I so dizzy? I dragged myself painfully up the beach to escape the reach of the waves, then went limp. I knew most of the people on our cruise... our cruise! Where was it? Where were my friends? Even my few enemies. I saw something about two feet away from me and I grabbed it. It took me a moment to place it. "No." I whispered, my head slamming agsinst the sand. It was my brother's shoe. It was soaking wet. "Connor."

I sat straight up, yelling. "Mother, I'm up!" Okay, that had been a mistake. I felt horrible. My stomach was churning and my head felt like someone was trying to break through it from the inside with a battering ram.

There felt like there was a drill in his head. The pain was constant - thumping and excessive. It was the sort of hurt that made it hard to think; overwhelming and vast. Even before Brian Orwell struggled to sit up, some part of his brain recognized that everything had changed. And it wasn't for the better.

His brown eyes darted about the expansive landscape, blearily attempting to make sense of where he was. The pain was receding, at least, which was a good thing. But the land.. this wasn't the portrait he remembered. Something had happened. And then he realized he wasn't alone, for there was a very familiar mop of hair nearby.

"Jake!"

Jake Orion

Jake was laying on the sand, facedown with her hair flipped over anywhere and everywhere. She regained consciousness but didn't open her eyes. Someone was chiseling away at her brain. She sat up with a groan, "Br..ian.." She wiped the sand from her face and blinked her blue eyes at her best friend, "Wh-where are we?" She forgot about her loud if head and whipped around to take in her surroundings.

Cole rolled over on his stomach, grasping a handful of sand so tight his knuckles were turning white. He groaned as a trickle of sea water stained the side of his mouth. He was aware of a faint pain stinging his left side and wearily sat up, grunting. His dirt-covered fingers reached to the hem of his shirt and pulled it upwards, revealing a small gash that was bleeding steadily.

((Sorry it's short, I have to get to work.))

Propelling himself through the sand, Brian moved closer to his best friend on his hands and knees. He wasn't quite confidant of his ability to stand, not just yet. Slowly, the short-haired man shook his head, seeing as the confusion within Twil's eyes likely mirrored his own. "I don't know," came his sputtered reply, his voice dry. "We've shipwrecked."

Jake stood up slowly, and wobbly. Her head was pounding she could barely hear him talk. She fell down to one knee before regaining composure. "Where is everyone else..?" Her voice was quiet as she looked down at her soaking wet self. She growled, a sound coming from the back of her throat, "I hate being wet."

The sun beat down on Jackson as he lay belly down on the sand, the waves of the sea doing their job in waking him up. He cracked his eyes open only to get a face full of sea water. Jackson let out a grunt as his eyes began to sting. With his body sore and bruised he managed to escape the waves sliding over the sand by crawling to dryer sand, which was hot on his skin. He sat on the sand then, sopping wet and rubbed his eyes cursing under his breath. Once he could finally get a good look around, he saw tue beach and nothing but open ocean. He sighed as his head bagan to pound. Seeing a few figures a ways from him, he decided to get and go see them, although the pounding in his head didn't help.

When Jake stumbled, Brian lurched forward, as if to steady her. Of course, he was on his hands and knees, so one could easily imagine how that went. Luckily, she caught herself, which was something the brunette had been grateful for. Right himself, Bri then replied. "Ack, I'm not sure. But they're likely in the same position we are; dirty and uncomfortable." He was going to say 'boat' instead of 'position'. But it was too soon.

Jake held out a hand to Brian, offering to pull him up. She glanced around and saw another guy (Jackson) and waved her other arm, "Heyy!! You alright?" She didnt know the guy but that didnt really matter now that they were stranded on an island together now does it? She swiped her wet multicolored hair out of her face to look around for others as well.

Jackson staggered in the sand as he walked towards the others. He saw someone waving an arm and calling out. Jackson wiped his eyes again as they still stung from the salt water. "Yeah, I'm fine!" he called back. Jackson took a few more steps before finally calling it quits. He sat down slowly underneath the palm tree he was passing by and let out a breath. It felt nice to get out of the hot sun, although the shade wasn't exactly cool either.
