The Pogues had gone to sleep not long after the fire went out the night before. Each of them taking their usual place to try and get some sleep. As the sun came up, Estrella ended up tucked behind JJ who pulled his shirt over his head to cover his eyes. Charlotte and Kie laid beside each other as well as Pope and Cleo with Sarah and John B, of course, cuddled together.
Pope's eyes flutter open as he hears an engine whirring. He sits up abruptly and looks up towards the sky. He stands up wide eyed as he comes to a realization, "Plane. Guys. Guys, guys, wake up. There's a plane."
Estrella jumps awake as Pope runs to their bag and grabs a lighter. Cleo's eyes open as he runs off. Estrella sits up as Cleo stands, "Oh." She gasps, "Guys, wake the hell up."
"JJ." She says shaking him as Cleo runs off to where Pope disappeared to
JJ's eyes flutter open as he turns to Estrella. He sits up as the girl points toward the sky. He stands up slowly keeping his eyes on the plane, "Oh shit. Johnny, wake up. Get up."
Estrella watches him walk off before crawling over to Kie and Charlotte, "Kie. Charlotte. Get up."
Charlotte groans as she turns over. Kie sits up as Estrella gets up and follows JJ. Kie's eyes widen, "Char, get up! There's a plane."
Charlotte shoots up as John B begins yelling for the pilot, "Hey! Hey, we're over here! Over here! Hey! We're right here!"
Estrella's steps slow as JJ turns to her. She could tell by his expression that he wasn't as excited as the others were.
"Come on, come on, come on." John B mutters as Kie and Charlotte run to shore with the others.
"Hey!" Kie yells
"Hey!"
"Hey!"
"Over here!"
"Hey!" John B yells, "We're over here!"
Their hope begins to dwindle as the plane continues on. Charlotte's head tilts as she continues to watch the plane, "He sees us. Guys, guys, he sees us."
"He's gonna go to the pond." John B says, "Come on, come on. Come on!"
Kie and Charlotte follow John B as he runs back to their belongings. Sarah hesitates before following while Pope and Cleo come running back. JJ and Estrella stay quiet as they grab their things and follow the teens to the plane.
John B and Sarah are the first to approach the plane. Estrella stops as JJ's step slow. She watches him eye the plane before sighing, "Come on."
