((Accepted.))
Avril sighed. She was looking at the volcano dribbling with hot, hungry, greedy lava. How was she and the others going to survive on half of a small island? They still had most of the jungle, and bit of sand and the sea, but it was going to be hard. She face palmed herself and turned away from the dangerous volcano. She looked out at the sea, a light, cooling-down wind blowing her black, light dress to all sides. Avril sighed again and once the wind stopped, she took a couple of steps towards the sea, and sat down infront of it. Tiny waves were lapping at her feet. Then it struck her. How were they going to drink? They can't simply drink the ocean water. She looked around. She saw her brother, Shane, looking up at the palm tree, full of coconuts. They'd have to do with coconut milk for now. Then she turned back to the sea. Even in this emergancy, right now, the sea was calm, and it started to slowly calm down her, too.
Shane was looking up at the palm tree, which wasn't as tall as the others, but still it was big. As the wind passed, it started to shiver. Once of the coconuts started to shiver too, and he got some hope. But as the wind stopped, it didn't fall. "Argh!" He shouted, annoyed. The argh was followed by a kick for the tree. Then he looked up hopefully again. Useless. This time the coconut didn't even move. He'd have to climb up there to get it. He put his hands against the palm, and then held it firm. It hurt as the tiny prickles prickled the palms of his hands. He took a deap breath. He took his hands away, and put them back higher up the tree, and made his legs jump and hold onto the tree, which was hard. Shane rapidly put one hand higher, and once he got the grip, he put the other one higher, too. Now the harder part, which was going to come alot. The legs.
