Crystal eyes peered out from the brush. Laughter and music poured from the beach, twisting into a light island breeze. A large bonfire roared on the sand as teenagers littered the surrounding area. The sun had almost completely set, casting a dark, warm blanket over the resort.
Ignoring her gut instinct, Emmaline slowly stepped out of the brush. Her privates were barely covered by tattered cloth, which fluttered ever so slightly in the wind. Her long, wavy hair hung over her chest, decorated by scattered braids and beads. Gasps and expressions of shock filled the beech as all of the teenagers slowly turned to watch this stranger glide across the sand. Some were mesmerized by the girl's beauty while others were simply dumbfounded. In their eyes, Em looked like a character from a movie and not a real person.
Hiding her fear, Emmaline smiled to the teens as she passed by. There were no signs of Moki anywhere, and this worried her. Maybe Richard was right... she shouldn't have come.

Moki left through the front exit, walking across to a different beach where she expected to find him. He usually hung out with some of the other local kids on the weekend and had a feeling he might be there. She could see the bonfire in the distance, hearing the laughter of the locals.

Em found herself in the middle of a something strange. All of the teens had gathered around her and were asking all sorts of questions and poking at her clothes and hair. She didn't even bother trying to respond. Instead, she turned and walked away quickly.
Looking around as she walked, Emmaline spotted a familiar figure. "Moki!" She picked up her pace a bit, excited to see the island native.

Moki came into the clearing now and noticed the kids all standing around, wondering what was going on. She then heard a familiar voice, watching as Emmaline made her way away from the others and toward her. Now she knew what the commotion was about and she hurried over to her new friend. "Em! Hey, causing quite the stir I see?" She briefly glanced over the girl, smiling and shaking her head. "What are you doing down here, you hardly ever come this way?" She wondered if she ought to invite Emmaline to her place, get her away from the other kids.

"I didn't expect to see so many people..." Em shifted slightly. It was obvious she was a little spooked by the recent events.
Looking at Moki, a smile formed on the girl's lips. "I missed you. I haven't visited you in a long time."

Moki smiled and put an arm around the other girl's shoulders. "Aw, it has been a while, hasn't it? Well come on then, let's go to the resort. I'm having a bit of a party and I can introduce you to some of my friends." Before they left she turned to face the other locals, telling them that she was taking Emmaline away and that if they were polite, maybe she'd introduce the girl properly to them later. There were cries of unfair play, a few catcalls and whistles, but all done jovially. Moki smiled and waved to the others, telling them that if they saw Loki that he was to come home soon. With that the two girls walked away together.
"Still not used to large crowds, are you? Don't worry, there aren't too many over at my place and they're much politer than those savages." Moki grinned, always delighting in referring to her island friends as savages. She adored the others who lived out here, but there was a difference between them and her mainland friends.

Em smiled shyly and shook her head. She was too used to living in solitude with Richard. In fact, she loved living out there with just the two of them.
"Savages?" Em's eyes went wide. The only savages she had ever heard of were head hunters and such. "Moki..." she whispered to the other girl. "Aren't you worried they'll attack us?"

Moki was caught off guard by Em's response before remembering how sheltered the girl was all alone. She laughed and hugged her tighter to her side. "Oh Em! I didn't mean real savages, silly! There aren't any of those on the island, we're perfectly safe. So don't you worry."

"Oh." Em laughed. "That's good." She was still confused, but that was okay. Moki was a good person in her mind, so she trusted her. And if Moki said they were safe, then they were safe.

"So Em, what have you and Richard been up to lately? How come he didn't come with you?" They continued back toward the resort building, alone on the path. It was quiet, the sound of the locals being muffled by the trees.

"Oh, nothing." Em smiled. "He said he wanted to work on a surprise for me." The girl beamed as she spoke. "I'm so excited!"
Without much thought, Em linked her arm with Moki's. She had really missed the island beauty.

"A surprise? That is exciting, is it supposed to be ready when you go back, then? Do you have any idea what it might be?" Moki really seemed to share the other girl's excitement, being the type of person who got caught up in the moment and who latched on to other's emotions.
"I really should go visit you guys on a more regular basis. You'll have to tell Richard I say hello when you go back, maybe Loki and I will come down and visit this week. I love your end of the island, it's so wild and untouched by the modern day world, you know? I love it." Moki put her other hand on top of Em's arm-- the two seemed like a picture out a magazine. "Oh guess what? You know how I told you about my modelling session this summer, right? Well I got a call from them and they'd like to fly me down to the Caribbean for another photo shoot! Apparently they thought my pictures were the best of the bunch and they want to do more with me. This is so exciting, my modelling dreams are really starting to come together. My parents aren't all that happy about the thought, but that's just too bad for them, isn't it?"

Em smiled wide and nodded. "Uh huh! I have no idea what it might be. Richard's very good surprises."
"You should. We'd really like that." If it weren't such a long walk, Em and Richard would visit more regularly. It was a shame the three friends hardly got to see each other.
Bright eyes sparkled as Moki spoke. Em had never heard of modeling until she met the island native, and even know, she didn't quite understand. But it was obvious that this news made her friend very happy, and so she was happy for her. "That's so wonderful! Congratulations!"

"Thanks! It'll be wonderful, I'll bring my surfboard and go surfing while I'm there. Oh it'll be lovely. But yes darling, Loki and I will come visit. Maybe we can have a picnic one afternoon! That would be fun." They were getting closer to the resort, the lights could be seen now through the trees.

"That sounds fun!" Em's eyes were beaming as she bounced up and down with excitement. "You must let Richard and I cook for you."
