(That evening the party was in full swing and the Mallrats among other tribes were enjoying themselves, for the first time in a long time.
...The disco ball glittered in the light and people were dancing and chatting amongst themselves.. In the centre of the dance floor, Lex and Zoe looked cosy dancing together and in one corner of the room, stood Salene and Ram, Darryl on the other hand set his sights on Amber as he drunk himself stupid)

Darryl: Now this is a real party
Amber: Well as you know, we Mallrats like to do it in style Darryl
Darryl: Look at this, good booze, good food, plenty of chicks
(Amber shakes her head and laughs)
Amber: You never change do you Darryl?
Darryl: No babe .. (putting his arm around Ambers shoulder).. not unless you want me to
Amber: (Removing Darryl's arm, she laughs again).. I'm spoken for, but you could try that on Gel, (Points to Gel, who seems to be revelling in the attention she's recieveing from other boys)...Somehow, I don't think she'd mind
(Amber walks over to Bray, leaving Darryl to fantasise alone)

Lex: Look Babe, I'm sorry about earlier, I had a lot on my mind... I didn't mean to take it out on you
Zoe: It's okay.. I shouldn't have asked so many questions, it was none of my business.
(Lex smiles and they share a kiss)

Salene: Go on get up there
Ram: I don't dance
Salene: (Laughs).. Oh lighten up, it's fun, maybe you could even show Ved a thing or two
Ram: I don't think so.. (he laughs)... Now if this was computers, I could help him
(Their conversation was cut short by Ruby who interrupted them)
Ruby: Salene, have you seen Lottie?
Salene: No why?
Ruby: Well she's missing,
Ram: What's the big deal?..
Ruby: She could get hurt.. she's just a kid
(Ruby leaves Ram & Salene to try & find Lottie, Meanwhile Darryl tries his luck with May)
Darryl: So May what's a pretty girl like you doing dancing alone
May: Are you going somewhere with this Darryl? Because if you are,.. your chances are the same as last time... Zero
Darryl: Are all the girls here the same as you?... Stuck up?
May: No Darryl... we've just got taste..
(May walks away from Darryl and joins Salene)

Lottie: (Emerging from the toilets) There's a fire, in the ladies room, ... (She screams but with the music playing so loudly she goe's unheard and desperatly pushes her way through the crowds of dancing bodies to get to the Mallrats)

(Oblivious to the danger ahead of them the members of each tribe are having a great time, dancing, singing drinking)

Lottie: (finding Bray and Amber) We need to get out, now
Bray: What do you mean?
Amber: Lottie?
Lottie: There's a fire, in the girls bath room and it's spreading fast..
Amber: Lottie did you cause this?
Bray: Amber there's no time, we need to evacuate this building, NOW..
Amber: (Panicing) We need to get everybody out, Bray, Lottie, go warn as many people as you can, I'll try gather the Mallrats..

(The flames had started to spread, QUICKLY and was now burning in the room of the party..... Moments later frightened people headed for the door, screaming and coughing as they burst out of it,)

.........................................................................................

(As the Mallrats and the last remaining few from other tribes made their way out of the door, they stood at a safe distance away from the building as they watched the roof catch fire, beams falling and smoke escaping through the open door in thick clouds.. Traumatised by the evening event's the Mallrats hadn't even noticed two of their own tribe members were missing)

Bray: Are we all here?
Trudy: I think so.. (Looking among the crowd).. No.... Brady...
Salene: You mean Brady's still in there?
(She makes a quick movement as she heads to run back into the building for her daughter but is stopped by Jay and Slade)
Jay: Trudy no..
Trudy: (Struggling to free herself).. My baby's in there...
(Looking among the others, it is clear to Jay that no one knew what to do)
Jay: Slade hold on to her, I'm going back in for Brady.. (Jay runs towards the building)
Slade: Trudy calm down, Jay will get her out
Trudy: (Screaming and Struggling to get free again) Just rescue my baby...
Ebony: Lex go with him..

(Lex runs fast to help Jay, but just as they reach the door a beam falls and almost hits them and they're thrown back by the heat of the blaze.. Just then a figure runs through the door holding a small child, It's Zoe, coughing and finding it hard to breathe she faints with Brady in her arms... Trudy free's herself from Slade's grasp and runs to her daughter, whilst Jay and Lex knelt down beside Zoe)

Lex: Zoe!!!! (Panicning he turns to Jay) ..Do something..
Bray: (Running to the side of his sisters lifeless body) .. Zoe can you hear me?
(Jay begins to give Zoe mouth to mouth, desperatley trying to rescusitate her)
Ebony: (Joining the guys) Is she breathing? .. (She asks worried)
Jay: (Slowly shaking his head) .. We've lost her.... She's dead...

(The following morning the gang gathered in the cafe to discuss duties for that day over breakfast, The decision was made that, Gel, Trudy & Ruby stay at the mall cleaning & minding the kids & Lottie... Daryl, May & Salene were on farm duty collecting vegetables.. Slade, Ebony, Bray & Jay to clear up the remains of the hotel... and.. Amber, Ved & Ram to collect fish)

ZOE: What about me & Lex?
AMBER: It's your day off.. What you choose to do is up to you
LEX: I'd rather be doing something
ZOE: That can be arranged.. (she smiles taking his hand)
(The gang exchange glances & sniggers)
AMBER: Lex, you're doing enough already
LEX: What do you mean?
AMBER: Being sheriff ! ... It's a 24 hour a day, 7 days a week job. You should really take a break
BRAY: We're going to need you focused every other day, I mean we all know the city & how unpredictable the people in it can be, we need you sharp..
LEX: When it comes to sheriff, I take it seriously and I'm alway's alert..
AMBER: We know that and you do a fantastic job of it .. but we're just being cautious.... You're the best man for the job when it comes to protecting us all.... we don't know what lies ahead, but whilst things are settled down you should really relax whilst you can.. Beside's you'll need your energy for tonight
TRUDY: Tonight?
AMBER: Yes, we ALL will ..
JAY: Are we missing something?
AMBER: Actually yes, it was supposed to be a surprise
EBONY: What's going on?
AMBER: I've arranged with some of the other tribe leaders a party at the old factory on north street
LEX: When was this planned?
AMBER: Last night ... (pauses)... most of the other tribes will be there.. and some of them are prepping now, Ready for this evening..
SLADE: What are we celebrating?
AMBER: It's not so much a celebration... More of an attempt to get all the tribes to pull together again.. There's so much that needs doing to this city, things that EVERYONE could benefit from... and whilst there's no interruptions from unwelcomed guests I thought what better time to...
LEX: (Interrupting Amber) .. You can't just make a decision like that, Not without a meeting, or consulting us first
AMBER: Lex it's a great oppertunity
LEX: Hey hold on, there used to be three leaders here and who are you to speak for the whole group anyway?
AMBER: Which reminds me, I need a word with you in private
LEX: Why can't you share it with the others?
(Amber glance's over at Bray, and Bray nods his approval)
AMBER: Well Bray & I have been thinking...
EBONY: That's a novelty..
AMBER: Ebony shut up, this is important, we decided that you should be leader again Lex, well the three of us together.. Equal say, fair decisions.... You up for it? ... We could really do with the extra support
LEX: Sure, why not?...
...................................................................................

(After breakfast the gang head out to their assigned locations to do their jobs... Gel on the other hand had decided to follow Lex to his room... tip-toeing quietly behind him, she pops her head around the corner & just stands watching him for a while.. Was this a good time to ask she wondered?)
....................................................................................

(Meanwhile at the beach Amber, Ved & Ram try their luck at catching fish)

RAM: I thought you said this was easy?
AMBER: It is ... Once you get the hang of it .. (she smiles & throws the wooden, 'spear ended' stick into the water again)
RAM: Peice of cake right?
AMBER: (Smiles) .. Something like that...
(Ram looks over at Ved sat on the rocks looking glum & circling his finger in the sand)
RAM: What's the matter Ved? Sunny beach not your thing.. (he teases)
VED: Go to hell
(Amber senses Ved's misery... Concerned she throws down her stick & sit's with Ved leaving Ram to take over)
AMBER: Memories huh?
VED: Something like that.. (sighs) .. What would you know?
AMBER: I'm a mother, and being part of a tribe with some younger than myself, I've learnt to read the signs when somethings wrong... You wanna talk about it?
VED: No.. just leave it
AMBER: It's Cloe isn't it?
VED: I said drop it! .. (he snaps)
AMBER: (Smiles).. Look Ved, I know how you're feeling! We've all been there before... we've all lost someone
VED: You don't understand.. This was our place! The last time I came to the beach just staring into the distance was with Cloe.. Now I'm never going to see her again.
AMBER: You don't know that, We found you & Bray again didn't we? ... who know's ..Cloe could be out there too.... (Pauses).. You really loved her didn't you?
VED: (Nods).. I guess .... I never really knew how important she was to me... till now
RAM: Yes!!! .. (he calls out holding up his spear) .. Will 6 do?
AMBER: (Laughs).. Well done Ram ..... (She turns her attention back to Ved) .. But what about Gel?
VED: I guess I wasn't all that interested in her ..... besides.. she likes someone else in the mall
........................................................................

(Meanwhile back at the mall Gel was still stood outside Lex's room, she watches as he grabs his long black leather jacket & start's to head in her direction)

ZOE: Where are you going?
LEX: To patrol the streets.... make sure no one's stirring up trouble
ZOE: But it's your day off, Relax .. (she walks behind him & massages his shoulder) .. Unwind..
LEX: Zoe, I'm going out .. (he replies sternly)
ZOE: Didn't you hear Bray?
LEX: (Interrupting he snaps) .. I've never been one to follow orders Zoe, least of all from that idiot brother of yours & his stupid girlfriend
(Lex leave's the room & Zoe slumps back onto her bed...... Outside the room Gel catches up with Lex)
GEL: Can we talk?
LEX: I'm kinda busy right now Gel
GEL: (Stops in her tracks & stamps her foot like a child) .. It's important..
LEX: (Turns to face Gel & give's her a suspicious look) .. Is it?
GEL: It is to me..
LEX: What? .. (he replies sighing)
GEL: Well, it's pretty embarrassing
LEX: Look Gel, Don't you think it'd be best talking to one of the girls about that sort of stuff?
GEL: (Frowns) .. It's not "THAT" .. it's Sex
LEX: Sex?
GEL: Yeah.. I've never... (pauses)... well, you know..
LEX: I know
GEL: And well, the first time is supposed to be special right? ... So I wondered if ....(pauses)... you'd be my first
LEX: (Shocked) .. You what?
GEL: No, not now.. I know you're with Zoe.. What I mean is.. If you're ever single and I feel the time is right.....would you be my first? .. I just want it to be really special & I don't want it to be with just 'anyone' .. and to be honest I don't think there's any other guy worth it.... You're the only one I want
LEX: Gel, You & I... we... well we just don't work.
GEL: I know that & I wish we could .. but in knowing you don't feel the same way, at least promise you'll do this for me? ... Please Lex? ..... Promise?
(Gel tries her best at puppy dog eyes)
LEX: ah, fine.. Sure.. whatever!
GEL: Promise?
LEX: I promise.. Now if you don't mind, I've got to be somewhere..

(Lex sighs & walks out ... watching him leave Gel smiles feeling pretty pleased with herself & happily skips off to help the others)

2011-02-21T09:30:00.000-08:00

(The gang took one last look behind them as they exited the boat, the city was dark and cold and from where they stood, the city looked like a ghost town, should they have left such a safe paradise in the woods, for something so risky and uncertain?)

RAM: (appearing behind Lex).. Having second thought's ey Lexy?

LEX: Not on your life...... let's move.. (he replied stepping into the city, walking ahead of the others)

AMBER: I hope this isn't a big mistake.. (she says holding Bray Jnr close and following Lex)

(as they ventured further into the city they stopped outside what used to be the hotel.. now it was practically a huge pile of ashes. But every other building in the surrounding seemed to be untouched and still standing)

JAY: Well this isn't strange at all.. (he replied sarcastically)

TRUDY: But is it safe?

(looking around they noticed that people were walking around as though nothing had ever happened)

LEX: Hey kid.. (he called to a young girl in the street)

GIRL: (turning to face Lex).. Sheriff?

LEX: What's going on?

GIRL: I don't understand

SLADE: There was the explosion, you remember?

GIRL: Yeah.. So?

MAY: So... what happened.. What about the virus?

GIRL: Where have you been all this time? .. There's NO virus..

LEX: What are you talking about?

GIRL: There's no threat to the city, the explosion at the hotel is a mystery... But it's safe.. that's all we know

(Lex signals for the girl to leave and she rushes off.. Lex turns to face the others)

LEX: Oh it's a mystery alright... Happen to know anything about this Ram? .. (he say's accusingly)

AMBER: Look guys, it doesn't matter.. It's over. We're safe, that's all we wanted to know.. (smiles).. Let's go 'home'

.............................................................................................

(Stepping into the mall the gang halt at the fountain & look around, so empty & abandoned! ... Memories came flooding back, as they dropped their bags Lex headed straight for his bedroom whilst the others made their way to the kitchen... Zoe was curious, something was eating Lex & she wanted to know what.. as she poked her head around the door, there she saw him in a heap on the floor! ... It broke her heart, "what was wrong with him?")

ZOE: (Running to Lex's side) .. Lex?

LEX: Just, go away.. leave me alone... (he replied pulling two photo's from his pocket)

(Lex looked as though he could cry any minute)

ZOE: I'm not leaving you like this, what's wrong? Please tell me..

(Lex ignores Zoe & continues to make his shrines to Taisan & Siva .. jealousy creeps in as Zoe see's the photo's)

ZOE: It's the ex'es Right?

LEX: (anger rises as he raises his voice) .. How many more times? They're not my ex'es, I didn't dump them & they didn't dump me.. they died.

ZOE: But they're gone, your with me now.. they're your past.. (she replied jealously)

LEX: (standing up) .. Would you listen to yourself? .. I LOVED these women and I don't care what you say .. I'm NOT taking this stuff down... and here's one for free, You either get over your jealousy & deal with it or your going to lose me.. Your choice

(Lex storms out & joins the others in the cafe leaving Zoe to sulk)

....................................................................................................

(In the cafe Amber finishes dishing out lunch for everyone, whilst the others sit chatting among themselves)

AMBER: Guy's we've got some serious issues to sort out

JAY: Like what?

AMBER: Well the hotel for starters, the remaining rubble needs clearing out... and food, these last few tins aren't going to last forever, we need people to go to the farm and collect fresh vegatables

LEX: and fish or crab from the beach & streams

AMBER: (pointing at Lex) .. Correct... and water.. Ram you need to sort out the water for us again

RAM: I never cut the water off when we left, there was no time, if I'm right the water should be fine

AMBER: (handing out plate's of food).. That's great, one less thing to worry about .. Lex could you sort out security for the sewer entrance before we go to sleep tonight?

LEX: Sure

AMBER: Great & I'll draw up a rota for the next few weeks

LOTTIE: Why? What for?

SALENE: Well Lottie, Without food we die

LOTTIE: I know, I mean why do we need a rota?

SALENE: That's what I'm trying to explain, We need some of us to go out for vegatables, others to go out for fish & the rest of us to stay here cleaning the mall & looking after the babies

GEL: Can I be a baby sitter?

MAY: You're only suggesting that so you don't have to work

GEL: Shut up, what would you know?

EBONY: Oh will the pair of you shut up? .. Man your giving me a headache

AMBER: Look can we all just stop arguing please? ...(sighs) .. Who does what hasn't been decided yet

EBONY: and let me guess.. YOU'RE the one who get's to make that decision, am I right?

TRUDY: Shut up Ebony

EBONY: No, listen & you listen good. We're not kids anymore & I'm not being bossed around by someone the same age as me

AMBER: (rolls her eyes) .. Ebony it's two days a week of chores, the rest of the week. Do what the hell you like

SLADE: Ebony?

EBONY: (Slamming her hand on the table).. No Slade

LEX: (standing up) No I agree with her, I think Ebony's right. We're not kids anymore, with the exception of Lottie & the babies.. but we need to sit down together & make sure we're all happy doing the jobs assigned to us

RUBY: agreed

AMBER: Okay fine, We'll take a vote.. all those in favour of Lex & Ebony's idea raise your hands..

(Bray, Trudy, Ebony, Lex, Slade, Gel, Ved, Ram & Ruby raise their hands)

AMBER: all those in favour of my idea, raise your hands..

(May, Salene, Jay, Lottie, Daryl & Amber raise their hands)

RUBY: that's 9 to 6

LEX: Your out voted Amber

AMBER: Fine do what you like

(Amber finally sit's down & shuts up, and Ved tries to speak with Gel)

VED: Have you thought about what I said before?

GEL: The only thing I'm thinking of is how annoying you are.. (standing up) .. Leave me alone..

(That morning the gang had gathered outside, their bags all packed ...... as they shut the cabin door the took a quick glance back at the wooden hut, they'd called home for the past few weeks... There was a mix of emotions in the air as they made their way back to the boat... None of them knew exactly what lie ahead for them... what state the mall would be in, or even if it was safe.. all they knew is.. they couldn't survive in the forest, they needed much more than plant's & berries could offer.. Gel had been putting on a happy face, she loved the thought of living in the luxury & warmth of the mall again but she was far from satisfied... as she glanced over at the loving hug Lex had embraced Zoe into.. she couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.. Ved hadn't even offered to help her carry her bag..
Gel still held a torch for Lex... Maybe she'd never get over her crush.. but now it was too late..
Her indecisivness had driven him to the arms of another woman, & it wasn't until now that Gel had realised how much she wanted him.. Thinking of the mall had reminded her of their first kiss, sat on the bed together Lex had kissed her so passionatley.. nobody had ever kissed her like that before... & her being with such a passionless guy like Ved had made Gel realise that Lex was the guy for her, there could be no one else.. Lex was the one.. the man of her dreams)
VED: What's wrong with you?
GEL: Glad you finally noticed
VED: I don't get it
GEL: I'm breaking up with you
VED: (stops in his tracks) .. What? .. Why?
GEL: I need a 'real' man, someone considerate..
VED: I can be
GEL: You've yet to prove it
VED: (pulls Gel back by the arm).. But we haven't even had a chance to get to know each other properly
GEL: That's your problem.. (she screeched trying to free her arm).. let go of my arm
(Gel starts to slap Ved, much to Ved's amusement)
VED: Love slaps? .. (he asks laughing)
GEL: You wish
VED: (still laughing).. You fight like a GIRL
GEL: I AM A GIRL, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE? ... (she yells) .. Now let go of me or I'm calling Lex
VED: No .. I don't wan't him back here.. (he replied letting go of Gel's arm)
GEL: I didn't think so either.. (she snaps)
(Gel marches off in front)
.......................................................................................
SLADE: Ruby, tell me.. Just what did Ebony do to you?
RUBY: She didn't do anything Slade, what are you talking about? ..
(Ruby didn't like lying to Slade, but she wasn't one to cause trouble unnecessarily, so she decided to cover for Ebony)
SLADE: Just something she told me last night, she didn't go into detail.. all she mentioned was that she'd done something unforgivable to you & she felt terrible about it
RUBY: Ebony? .. I don't know what she's talking about.. she must have had too much to drink, don't take any notice
SLADE: Are you sure your not hiding anything?
RUBY: Of course not... Why would I cover for Ebony?.. of all people.. think about it Slade
(Ruby moves out of Slade's path & goe's to speak with Ram)
.........................................................................................

SALENE: Everything ok?
GEL: No .. (she snapped)
SALENE: Woah, don't bite my head off I only asked.......... What's the matter? .. You & Ved haven't fallen out have you?
GEL: Would you care If we had? .. I know what you all think of me.. "Stupid selfish, little barbie girl".. and I know that nobody want's me in the tribe
SALENE: That's NOT true.. (pauses).. We had a girl just like you in our tribe once.. Her name was Zandra.. & as much as she was annoying at times.. we still loved her, she was part of the tribe, she was family, just like you are now..
GEL: (managing a small smile).. Thank's Salene
SALENE: Now what is it, that's upset you so much? .. You can talk to me, you know that..
GEL: I'm not with Ved, but I'm not upset over it either... (sighs).. I'm upset because I'm in love with someone who I don't ever have a shot with...... because he's with someone else
SALENE: Bray?
GEL: No.. that was just a silly crush..... I'm talking love
SALENE: Oh... & does this guy know you like him?
GEL: I think so..
SALENE: Have you ever told him?
GEL: (shrugs).. Not actually.. but I think he kinda, maybe picked up on it
SALENE: Ahh.. Lex?
(Gel remains silent..)
SALENE: Oh honey, I've been through it all before & it's hard when the one you want doesn't feel the same way.. I know... but what really hurts is seeing him with another girl... I know what your going through... I've been there before... & I felt that way for years.
GEL: So what did you do?
SALENE: What could I do? ... I had to learn.. what's to be, will be.. & what isn't.. won't..
GEL: Your NOT helping! .. (she yelled)
SALENE: Maybe not, but I'm being truthful..
.................................................................................

AMBER: As soon as we get back to the city, the first thing I'm going to find is a pushchair.. This little man is getting heavy
LOTTIE: Shouldn't he be walking by now?
AMBER: He will be soon, I should expect
TRUDY: Lottie all babies walk in their own time.. at their own pace..
EBONY: Eugh.. They dribble at their own pace too.. (she say's wiping Bray Jnr's chin with a pocket hanky)
DARYL: I bet he can crawl faster than half of you can walk
MAY: Yeah you included Daryl, Your not exactly speedy yourself
RAM: What's the rush? .. We're taking a nice, slow & steady walk
BRAY: Avoiding the city?
JAY: Not at all.. but we've got all day.. so as Ram said.. what's the rush?
BRAY: I don't remember asking YOUR opinion
AMBER: Shut up the pair of you... before you even start
...................................................................................

MAY: Oh would you two get a room?
LEX: (raising his left eyebrow).. I wish
EBONY: Haven't you got anything better to do than snog? .. Maybe something like picking up the pace a little bit?
LEX: What's the hurry?
ZOE: Not jealous are you Ebony?
LEX: Don't worry Ebony, there's plenty of me to go around.. (he teases jokingly)
EBONY: No thank you Lex .. (she smiles).. I heard all about your antics from Siva..
LEX: And what might those be? .. (he asks intrigued)
(Ebony just laughs)
EBONY: Hey Zoe, when we get back to the city... Maybe he'll take you to his love shack..
(Ebony shrieks with laughter & continues walking ahead)

(Tensions in the cabin had been anything but smooth that night, and Amber already in the bitchy mood she was in had decided she should warn Zoe about Lex.. Although she didn't want it to sound too obvious that she was trouble causing, that is exactly what she intended to do)

AMBER: Hi

ZOE: (Rolls her eyes).. What?

AMBER: I just thought I should come and warn you..

ZOE: About what? .. (she snapped)

AMBER: About what your getting yourself into.... with Lex

ZOE: Oh don't start Amber, you aren't happy so you can't bear to see anyone else that way either huh?

AMBER: (Defending herself).. No.... No that's not it at all

ZOE: Then what?

AMBER: Look Lex isn't who you think he is okay? ... He's the biggest womanizer I know

ZOE: What and Jay isn't?

AMBER: That's different... beside's I wasn't even talking about Jay

ZOE: No.. but I am! .. Look I don't care about Lex's past, what's done is done.. it's behind him

AMBER: (shaking her head).. It's not past.. it's right now.. he's Lex... (sighs).. If you think you can be with him and not get your heart broken, you are so wrong.. He's only after one thing

ZOE: I see through you Amber, you think no one else see's it? .. Well I do.. Your bitter about Bray's lack of interest in you lately.. aren't you? ..

(Amber knew that Zoe had a point about where she was going with this conversation, but she wasn't about to admit it)

ZOE: Listen to me.. You might have thought that you and Bray were the perfect couple.. but you wanna know what I think?

AMBER: What?

ZOE: I think he's better off without you..... Look at you, setting out to destroy other peoples relationships, because YOU can't get the guy you want... your pathetic..

(Zoe leaves Amber to wallow in her own self pity and joins Lex outside)

(May takes note of Gel and Ved sharing a kiss and finds it revolting)

MAY: Get a room you two

GEL: What's your problem?

VED: Her problem is that I'm not a woman

GEL: I don't get it.. (she frowns)

MAY: How did you know about that.. you little weasel?

GEL: Know about what?

VED: Nothing get's past me May.. I have ways of finding out EVERYTHING

.........................................................................................

(Later that night, the party had ended and everyone had gone to bed.. Jay was pretty lucky, Lex had only blackened his eye for him as Zoe had gotten there just in time to split up the fight before it got out of hand.. as he lay in bed alone, he only had one thing on his mind "Amber".. he'd taken note of Bray's distance towards her and had thought to himself that maybe he stood a chance still, just maybe!.... Bray on the other hand was fast asleep, he still shared a room with Amber and his son, but he'd separated the single beds and put them at either side of the bedroom... Amber was still awake glancing over at Bray.. she was so confused about who she wanted to be with and started to wonder if what Zoe had said about her that night was true)

(Slade and Ebony were the only two still awake, Ebony had something on her mind, and Slade knew that she was definitely hiding something)

SLADE: What's the secret Ebony?

EBONY: (snapping out of her thoughts).. What? .. Oh nothing, why'd you ask?

SLADE: You've got guilt written all over your face.. what's eating you?

EBONY: I can't say

SLADE: Why not?

EBONY: You'd hate me forever..

SLADE: (laughs).. don't be silly.. I know all about your past, but I'm still here

EBONY: If I told you, you won't be for much longer

SLADE: I'd stick with you.. no matter what.. (he says stroking her face) ..

EBONY: Even if I set out to hurt someone?

SLADE: You obviously feel pretty guilty about it now, I think that's punishment enough, don't you?

EBONY: Even if it was someone I knew you cared about?

(Slade stared hard into Ebony's eyes)

EBONY: Even if it was ... Ruby?

(By now the party was in full swing, Jay had managed to strike up a conversation with Ruby and had caught the attention of some of the others.. Not least of all Amber.. "Was Jay really that much of a sleeze to try it on with two girls in the same night?" .. she thought to herself! .. Also trying his luck was Daryl, obviously he didn't know Salene well enough if he thought he stood even a slight chance with her)

DARYL: Do you want to dance? .. I mean I'm not very good but..

(Salene raised an eyebrow as she waited for Daryl to finish his sentence)

DARYL: Look my mind has gone completely blank.. I ..

SALENE: (Interrupting).. Don't worry about it..(Smiling).. I'd love to "Dance" .. (she replied adding emphasis to the word "Dance" just so that Daryl got the message)

(As Salene and Daryl take to the cleared space of the living area to dance, as Zoe headed to the bathroom, Ram, Lex, Ved & Gel are stood close chatting, well it was more likely that Ram & Lex were chatting .. whilst Ved and Gel listened in.. Ved caught ear of Lottie's laughter and turned to see Bray swinging her around.. And because Bray had always been the sort of father figure to most of the younger members of his tribe... it had reminded Ved of how his dad used to do that with him when he was Lottie's age)

VED: I wish I could go back in time for a day, just to fly like that

LEX: Wish granted

(Lex said picking Ved up and throwing him onto the pile of blankets in the corner of the room)

GEL: Lex!

(Gel was shocked at Lex's actions and hurried over to Ved)

GEL: Are you hurt?

(Ved winced and rubbed his back, but he wasn't prepared to look like a wimp in front of Gel)

VED: No, I'm fine.... I had a soft landing see.. (he says patting the blankets underneath him)

(Gel glances over at Lex and Ram who obviously found Ved's little flying lesson pretty funny)

GEL: He's just a bully

LEX: Oh get a sense of humour, it was hilarious

(Lex calls over.. and Ram finishes the comment with a snide cackle)

VED: Think nothing of it, he's just using any opportunity that he can to get his revenge

(Ved takes note of Gel's confused expression and decides to explain further)

VED: Lex and I go back a while, there's always been bad blood and hatred between us.. I should have expected his backlash sooner or later

GEL: What did you do to him to make him so angry? .. To make him hate you so much?

(Ved knew that to tell the truth, would only jeopardise his chances of getting any closer to Gel... and right now he wasn't willing to lose her before he'd even had a real chance to get to know her properly)

VED: Some things... (pauses).. Nothing bad enough to deserve this though .. (he replies lying cowardously)

(Jay had now resumed his chat with Zoe from earlier that night as she returned from the bathroom, whilst Amber was alone with only Trudy for company... she could see her grip on Bray slipping away as she watched jealously as he chatted with Ruby and Ebony.. but she is secretly pleased when Slade interrupts their little chat)

SLADE: (Taking Ebony's hand).. Are we going to dance or just stand around chatting all night

EBONY: (Laughs).. He's very persistent Bray, you'll have to excuse him, We'll catch up some other time

(As Ebony and Slade break up the little group Amber's heart sinks again as she see's Ruby and Bray left alone, Amber knew that Ruby and Bray had grown pretty close the past week or so and was even more jealous than ever as she watched them dancing together)

TRUDY: (Appearing behind Amber).. Are you okay?

AMBER: I guess so..

TRUDY: (Following Amber's Gaze).. There's nothing in it

AMBER: You hope?

TRUDY: No.. I know it..

(Amber sighs)

TRUDY: It's just a dance Amber, Lighten up..... Bray loves YOU.. I'm certain of that.. (pauses).. so come on.. Just enjoy yourself

(By now Lex had taken note of Jay getting close to Zoe again, and wasn't happy about it to say the least)

LEX: Excuse me Ram

RAM: (Following Lex's gaze) .. Sure.. go get her back lover boy .. (he jokes)

LEX: I intend to.. (he replied with every intention of hurting Jay)

JAY: (Catching a glimpse of Lex heading towards him and Zoe).. Here we go again

LEX: Too right, I thought I made myself quite clear earlier pal.. stay away from my girl

ZOE: We were just talking Lex, honest

LEX: Sure, and it looked pretty cosy as well

ZOE: We're just friends

JAY: Your a fool Lex, I'm not after your girl

LEX: Sure your not... You couldn't keep Amber, so now your hitting on every other girl you set your eye's on.. your the biggest sleeze I know

(Amber already in a very bad mood heads over to Lex, Jay and Zoe and stands between them)

AMBER: I have had quite enough of this, and I've had enough of trying to break fights up.. if you two want to act like children then fine.. but take it outside, because I am NOT cleaning up blood from the cabin floor.. (sighs).. and if you kill each other, so be it..

LEX: I have no problem with that

ZOE: Lex NO

(Lex and Jay exchange hate filled eye contact)

AMBER: I mean it.. GET .. (she snaps signalling to the door)

LEX: I'll see you outside.. (he shoulder barges Jay on his way out)

(Jay stays put.. and he realises Amber really didn't care.. should he fight with Lex? ..

Bray on the other hand was surprised at Amber, she was filled with hate! .. This wasn't the woman he loved.. what had happened to her? .. All he knew was that Amber had changed and he didn't love the new her one bit!)

(That evening Bray was being rather childish, he'd decided to totally ignore Amber and had left Trudy to console her.. Lex was growing annoyed at seeing everyone looking so glum and he had an idea that he thought might cheer everyone up)

LEX: It's like a morgue in here
MAY: What do you expect, tensions are running PRETTY high right now
LEX: This is our last night at the cabin, we should be celebrating before we return to the city
SALENE: I agree with Lex, this place has put us up for the past few weeks.. we should at least hold a small party before our departure
EBONY: And what do we celebrate with?
SALENE: I'm not sure yet.. but we'll find something
(Salene looks around the room.. she notices that the others are bored and not really taking any notice of what she's trying to say)
SALENE: (raising her voice).. Hey come on.... the kids are in bed.. We SHOULD be enjoying ourselves
LEX: Slade, Bray come with me..
SLADE: To where Lex?
LEX: The boat, where else?
BRAY: (confused) .. Why?
LEX: There's a small stash of beer and wine, nothing says party like a bit of alcohol.. (he grins)
(The two guys reluctantly follow Lex out of the cabin and head for the boat, leaving Salene alone with the others to try and lift spirits)
RUBY: What about music?
RAM: It's not a party without music
(Amber feels a little better knowing that Bray isn't around to ignore her and she even starts to feel in the party spirit)
AMBER: Ebony can sing
EBONY: You can forget it
AMBER: Well does anyone else have any better ideas?
DARYL: Actually yeah.. there's a small boom box on the boat! ..
TRUDY: Let's just hope those guys have the sense to bring it back with them
GEL: It wouldn't work anyway.. we've got no CD's
DARYL: I have
MAY: How dumb can you get Gel?.. it's not the CD's that'd be the problem..
GEL: Excuse me? .. (she replies feeling offended)
MAY: If it won't work it'll be due to the fact that we have no power out here.. and even if we did.. there's no plug socket to plug it into..
DARYL: Oh it'll work.. it's battery operated
MAY: You know a lot
DARYL: You know me, I like to make myself familiar with my surroundings.. and every little thing in it.. (he winks at May)
(Jay notices Zoe giving him the evil eye from across the room and decides to try and make peace)
JAY: Zoe, isn't it?
ZOE: Oh what do you want
JAY: I'm not here to start a fight.... I just want to clear the air..
(Zoe stares at him in a way that uneases Jay)
JAY: Look we've all got to live together at the end of the day.. and I think we should all learn to put the past behind us.. don't you?
ZOE: I suppose.... (pauses).. So what is it you wanted to say to me?
JAY: It's about Bray..
ZOE: He HATES you..
JAY: Yeah I know
ZOE: Then what else is there to talk about?
JAY: Look I know he's your brother and your loyalties lie with him.. but don't feel like you and I have to avoid each other, I don't want to make enemies... besides I'm sure Bray will understand .. even if we talk
ZOE: I don't know
JAY: He doesn't own you... doe's he?
ZOE: No.. (she snaps).. But it's like you said.. my loyalties lie with my brother
(Zoe and Jay continue their conversation, meanwhile at the other end of the room Amber, Ruby & Ram seem to be having a chat amongst themselves before they're joined by Ved and Gel)
GEL: I think it's Lottie's bed time
AMBER: We're having a party Gel, she can stay up a while longer
VED: She's too young to enjoy it really
GEL: Yeah ... and while we're all enjoying ourselves, she'll only use it to her own advantage and steal AGAIN!
AMBER: What is there to steal?
GEL: Beer?.... (pauses).. I don't know.. But she'll find something.. Pick pockets usually do..
RAM: If she was going to steal I think she'd aim for the stereo
RUBY: (joining in with Ram's joke).. Yeah, and like we wouldn't notice THAT.. (she laughs)
(The lads arrive back.. arms filled with beer and wine.. and of course the stereo... By now Jay and Zoe look rather cosy and Lex isn't too happy seeing them laughing together in the corner of the room and heads over to see what they're talking about)
ZOE: A mall? .. That sounds amazing.. Lex never told me he lived in a mall..
JAY: (putting his hand on Zoe's shoulder).. I could show you around
LEX: Hey, What are you doing?
JAY: It's not what it looks like Lex..
LEX: Really? .. And what does this look like?.. You're hitting on my girl
ZOE: No Lex
JAY: I'm not a home wrecker
LEX: Sure,...... remember Siva? .. All the times you were happy enough to cause a stir between us? ..
JAY: When? .. Give me ONE example
LEX: That's easy.. (impersonating Jay's voice). "Tell Siva thanks for the cake she baked for me, it was delicious" .. something along those lines... I warned you to keep away from her as well
JAY: Lex?
LEX: Shut your face.. Look I'm warning you buddy.. you stay away from my girl.. or you won't just have Bray to deal with.
(Lex walks away with his arm around Zoe, Jay is left standing alone in the corner of the room.. Was he really trying to hit on Zoe? .. Or was he innocent and just being friendly?)

(By now everyone had gathered around Amber, they were concerned since her face had turned a little pale, Bray and Jay seemed especially concerned.. Jay still had feelings for Amber.. and he hadn't meant those things that he'd said about her to Bray earlier that day, he'd just been speaking from hurt at the time.. and now he felt rather guilty)

JAY: Amber? .. What's wrong?

BRAY: Stay out of it.. she is NONE of your concern

LEX: What's wrong with her?

BRAY: I don't know

ZOE: I can see the cabin, we could carry her there

TRUDY: No, she could do with the fresh air.. you guys head on, I'll stay with Amber

(She suggests sitting Amber down on a thick tree stump.. The others start to head back to the cabin.. but Bray stands firmly where he is)

TRUDY: (Looking up).. Uh, you too Bray..

BRAY: But what if?

TRUDY: (Interrupting him).. I'll manage.. (sighs).. Besides you don't want Bray Jnr to get cold do you?

(Bray frowns and remains standing where he is.. Trudy know's he's only doing this because he's concerned.. but she also know's that Amber just needs some fresh air and a bit of support from a friend right now)

TRUDY: Go on Bray..

(Bray reluctantly leaves Trudy to deal with Amber, As soon as Bray is out of sight Amber speaks)

AMBER: I DO know what's wrong with me Trudy.. (she say's looking up at Trudy)

TRUDY: What is it?

AMBER: I'm pregnant..

TRUDY: What? .. Are you sure?

AMBER: Pretty sure

TRUDY: Amber, if you're SURE that your pregnant.. then you HAVE TO tell Bray

AMBER: I CAN'T Trudy..

(Trudy notices that Amber looks very worried.. and she stares at her with a concerned expression)

AMBER: I can't tell him because.... the baby might not be his..

(Trudy looks at the sky in disbelief that Amber could be carrying Jay's baby)

TRUDY: Oh no.. this is all you need

AMBER: Your telling me, What is this going to do to me and Bray? .. If the baby's Jay's it could tear us apart, rocky as it is

TRUDY: Then you have no choice.. you have to make the hardest decision that a mother could ever make

(Amber stares at Trudy... had Trudy really just suggested what she thought she had?)

AMBER: What do you mean? ..(frowning) .. Trudy tell me you're not suggesting that I terminate the baby.. (pauses).. are you?

(Trudy's silence tells Amber everything she needed to know.. Trudy a mother herself.. how could she even suggest that?)

AMBER: (Horrified) .. Trudy that's barbaric.. There is NO decision to be made.. If I terminate my baby, I could be killing Bray's child.. He'd HATE me for that

TRUDY: But he'd hate the child if it was Jay's... you HAVE TO think about that.. If you choose to keep the baby.. and it turns out to be Jay's.. Then you can kiss goodbye to Bray forever.. I guarantee it.. someone else's baby is a big enough problem to tear you both apart, for good.

AMBER: Oh Trudy, this is such a mess ..

(Amber lets her head drop into her hands)

(Meanwhile the others had managed to find their way back to the cabin and settled down.. Gel and Ved were getting very close and it was quite clear that everyone had given up.. all the time they'd been at the cabin and they'd done nothing)

MAY: Are we really this pathetic that we can't do anything? .. What have the mallrats become?

EBONY: Since when were you EVER a mallrat May?

MAY: You want to make something of it?

EBONY: (Getting right up into May's face).. Try it.. and You'll be the first to lose all your teeth

SALENE: Get a grip, the pair of you.. Now let's just think things through.. May is right.. So far we've done zilch.. and we're struggling to survive

JAY: We need to make a decision.. something that could shape our future

RAM: I agree with that

SLADE: (shocked) .. The great Ram, concerned about the future.. Never thought I'd see the day.. (he replies with great sarcasm)

RAM: Yeah well.. you know.. I'm just full of surprises

VED: Yeah, like when we first met back up... I never thought I'd be seeing you walking..

BRAY: (facing reality) .. Maybe it is time we faced our fears? .. And maybe it's time we took a little risk once in a while..

EBONY: What do you mean?

SLADE: I think I know..

BRAY: I mean, maybe it's time to return to the city?

LOTTIE: (Excited) .. There's so much more to do in the city, at least we won't be bored

MAY: You mean there's so much more for YOU to steal.. in the city?

GEL: Yeah.. Well you touch anything of mine, and you'll be sorry .. (she says glaring at Lottie)

(Daryl hadn't heard the girls bickering, he was too concerned at what Bray had suggested.. Daryl had always been a wuss)

DARYL: Go back to the city? .. I hope your kidding, that's a suicide mission

LEX: Yeah but if it was.. then how come we haven't bumped into the other tribes? .. not even ONE of them

RUBY: Do you really think we'd all have come to the same island?

LEX: No but there isn't a great lot of choice.. after all WE did end up at this dump

RUBY: Yeah.. and who brought us here?

RAM: Ruby? ..

LEX: Hey DON'T blame this on ME

ZOE: Yeah watch your mouth..

(Sensing that people were growing frustrated with each other Bray steps between Zoe and Ruby)

BRAY: Cool it.... (sighs).. Lex is right.. I think it's time to return to the city..

(Amber and Trudy walk through the cabin doors in time to overhear Bray's idea and Gel steps forward holding Ved's hand)

GEL: Well I have an announcement of my own to make.. Ved and I are together.. (she say's excitedly)

LEX: (Sighing) .. How interesting

GEL: Yeah well, you always were hard to please Lex..

AMBER: Actually ... whilst we're on the subject of announcements.. I have a little one of my own to tell everyone

(Everyone glances over at Amber)

BRAY: What is it Amber?

AMBER: (Taking Bray's hands) .. Bray I'm pregnant

GEL: Don't you know how to play protected?

TRUDY: Not helping.. Gel.. (Trudy scolds through gritted teeth)

(Jay steps forward)

JAY: Who's is it?

AMBER: I .. I can't say

BRAY: Why not?

AMBER: Because.....(pauses).. Because.. I don't know

(Bray free's his hands from Amber's grasp, and stands there in complete silence.. there was NO room in their relationship for another man's baby.. could this be the start of the end for Bray and Amber?)

The Tribe - Season 6 - Episode 12 ... (Fiction)

2011-01-02T11:06:00.000-08:00

(By now the gang had all washed and were almost back at the cabin, where they'd be warm and could catch some fish for their dinner.. Everyone felt fresher.. but they were still worn out from all the walking and lack of decent food.. Amber hadn't spoken a word to Jay, and she had been avoiding Bray.. who felt the only way she'd talk to him would be for him to make the first move and apologise for the fact that she had to witness the fight)

BRAY: Amber? .. Why are you avoiding me?

AMBER: Figure it out for yourself Bray

BRAY: So I had a fight with Jay.. Look I'm sorry you had to see that.. but if you heard what he'd said, you'd have hit him too

AMBER: You still don't get it do you?

BRAY: Get what?

AMBER: We're a tribe Bray, we're struggling enough as it is.. we don't need you and Jay creating more worries... I told you about him, but did any of you listen? .. No.. and YOU were insistant on keeping him in the tribe.. (looking Bray up and down).. big mistake that was huh?

BRAY: No.. I told you.. he's useful..

AMBER: Useful? .. Bray look at you.. Your black and blue..

BRAY: That doesn't matter.. HE came off worse..

AMBER: This isn't about who won or lost.. this is about survival..... and how long do you think we're going to last if we can't even survive standing each other? .. (she walks off in front carrying Bray Jnr)

BRAY: Amber?

AMBER: DON'T Bray.. Just go talk to Gel or something.. I'm sure she'd be very pleased with the company

RUBY: (appearing behind Bray) .. Your not alone you know..

BRAY: How do you mean?

RUBY: The problems your having with Jay.. He doesn't make a very good first impression.. I remember when he first came to Liberty.. Slade didn't like him all that much... In fact.. Slade's never really liked Jay at all, I mean they're not friends or anything.. I think Slade just tolerates him..

(Bray didn't know Slade all that well.. but he liked the sounds of him)

BRAY: Kind of the way I HAVE TO tolerate Ebony! .. I'm not her greatest fan

RUBY: Join the club.. (she laughs).. So how long have you known her?

BRAY: Oh.. Ebony and I go way back.. Trudy too.. And Zoe and Ebony's older sisters.. Nobody knows what happened to the two of them though..

RUBY: Siva and Java?

BRAY: Yeah that's right.. (pauses).. Wait.. how do you know?

RUBY: They came to the city.. they were part of the techno's.. Lex had a relationship with Siva.. and not to long after she left the techno's.. But it all came to a tragic end.. Doesn't surprise me where Ebony is concerned..

BRAY: What happened?

RUBY: Java came to Liberty causing trouble.. and as Siva saved Ebony.. she died herself.. they had a sort of show down with the wrist lasers.. Ebony was left with no choice but to take revenge for Siva and also self defence so she killed Java.. it was awful....

BRAY: How did Lex take it?

RUBY: Oh he was broken.. he was fragile for a while.. but you know Lex.. he didn't show it.. he goes on and keeps his head high.. but we knew he was hurting badly inside

(Bray had no words for that.. he felt quite sorry for Lex.. losing all the women he'd loved.. But he was also worried for Zoe.. if it was fate that all Lex's women died then what would happen to his little sister? .."Give the guy a break.. he deserves to be happy for once.. And Zoe will do that, no problem" .. He thought to himself)

(Walking a bit in front of the others was Salene, Trudy and Amber.. who had been talking amongst themselves)

SALENE: Oh give him a break Amber.. The fight was probably over you in the first place.. That's gotta make you feel good somehow.. don't it?

AMBER: (Smiling).. Stop it.. You're shameless you know that?

SALENE: (Taking Bray Jnr from Amber).. At least I raised a smile.. which is good to see since I look around at all these glum faces

TRUDY: Your lucky Amber.. You've got a very attractive man who loves you and the most beautiful son... Everything a girl could ask for.. What I'd give to have what you and Bray have got..

SALENE: (agreeing with Trudy).. You really don't know just how lucky you are

(Amber remains silent.. she knew Salene and trudy were right.. and she just smiles)

(At the back of the group were the two who complained the most.. Ved and Gel..)

VED: I'm so not walking again for the next few days..

GEL: I second that... I wish we were back already.. I need to get out of these clothes.. and I haven't changed my make up in three days

VED: Shocking!

GEL: What is?

VED: Well you're wearing muddy clothes and your make up is all smudged.. but you still look beautiful

GEL: Aww, you really think so? .. (she say's fluttering her eyelashes)

VED: I wouldn't say it if I didn't

GEL: That's really sweet.. (she replies kissing him on the cheek)

(A little in front of Ved and Gel was Ram, Slade and Ebony.. And what would you know.. Ram burst's into song.. yet AGAIN)

RAM: "You give me a reason to survive, you wake me up I feel alive, Ohhh you got me"

EBONY: (smiling at Slade) .. He's happy

SLADE: He's probably checking Ruby out, in front

EBONY: Has he got ANY taste at all?

SLADE: Oh come on Ebony, isn't it about time you put the fued with Ruby behind you.. the past is past..

EBONY: Well in that case... "I can't sit still, can't concentrate.. I need you so I just can't wait.. Ohhh you got me" .. (she sings adding to Ram's song)

RAM: Ebony please... Your ruining my melody.. and You can't sing

EBONY: (turns to Slade and whispers).. "I" can't sing? ..

SLADE: Shhh, let him have his moment.... (he laughs)

MAY: Hey Lottie..I used to be just like you..

LOTTIE: How?

MAY: Stealing! .. (sighs).. but NEVER from friends.. or my own tribe.. that's where we differ

LOTTIE: I can't help it.. It's a habit..

MAY: It's hard.. but you need to break it.. Because the others really meant it.. They WILL kick you out of the Tribe!

ZOE: Hey guys.. the cabins just up ahead

JAY: Finally

LEX: You said it..

AMBER: Really Lex? .. This whole trek was YOUR idea in the first pla...

(She didn't get chance to finish her sentence.. she threw her head forward and threw up)

BRAY: (Running towards her).. Amber?

TRUDY: Amber are you okay?

AMBER: No Trudy.. I don't feel too good..

BRAY: Amber.. what's wrong?

(It's been 3 days that the Mallrats had been travelling to try and find the Eco's.. their old camp had been abandoned and now it seems that they'd vanished off the face of the earth.. The Mallrats were getting bored and restless.. Bray Jnr had been passed from person to person throughout the whole journey.. Even Brady had become so tired from walking that Trudy was now carrying her.. and they were ALL dirty and tired)

AMBER: I've had enough of this.. I'm cold, hungry and dirty.. It's been three days Lex.. We should head back

GEL: I want to bath and get changed.. I feel disgusting

LEX: You LOOK disgusting

AMBER: Lex! .. (she snapped) .. We want to go home

MAY: And where exactly is home Amber? .. The cabin? .. With the Eco's? .. Where? .. Just look at us, We look like a sad bunch of unwanted losers.. We fight amongst ourselves.. We can't agree on ANYTHING.. and we stink.

TRUDY: We want our leader back.. Someone to make the RIGHT decisions for us

LEX: And what's wrong with my decisions?

TRUDY: Nobody listens Lex.. that's the difference.. but Bray's word is final.. I think he should take over again

ZOE: Come on Lex.. Stand down.. You tried it.. it didn't work out.. Leadership isn't your thing.. You should stick to what your good at.. something like our protection

SALENE: I agree!

TRUDY: What do you say Bray? .. Will you be our Leader again?

BRAY: Oh I don't know

TRUDY: Please Bray

BRAY: (Feeling pressurised).. Fine.. But I say we all need to get a wash.. and head back to the cabin.. we can't survive without real food.. Sure there's only fish.. but we CAN live on it

EBONY: I'd rather eat fish everyday, than run on Empty

LEX: Don't we need to vote on that decision?

AMBER: No.. it's unanimous

LEX: Oh, thanks for that Amber.. You respect his? .. but not mine?

EBONY: Shut up complaining.. At least Bray know's what he's doing

AMBER: There's a stream by that banking over there.. we'll each take our turn to wash.. I've got a few towels in my bag

LOTTIE: I've got soap.. (she says handing the soap to Amber)

AMBER: Thanks Lottie.. Where did you find that?

(Gel checks her pockets)

LOTTIE: Just laying around

GEL: You little thief .. that's mine..

AMBER: Oh give it a rest Gel.. it's only soap... And right now we ALL need it

RAM: Gel has a point though.. Empty your pockets Lottie.. What else have you got stashed away?

LOTTIE: Nothing honestly.. I just thought that the soap would be useful.. and we know SHE wouldn't share it.. she's so selfish.. (she says glancing over at Gel)

TRUDY: Lottie, if you keep stealing, your NOT welcome among us.. We've got enough problems without you adding to them.. We mallrats don't respect theives

BRAY: (agreeing with Gel, Ram & Trudy).. We didn't tolerate KC doing it.. and we're not about to bend the rules for you Lottie.... (leaning in towards Amber & whispering).. Keep a close eye on your ring..

AMBER: I will.. (she smiles)..

RUBY: (Approaching Amber).. Do you want me to wash little Bray for you? .. (she offers helpfully)

GEL: No.. I wanted to do that.. he's so sweet..(she smiles).. like his dad.. (she adds eyeing Bray up again)

(Bray takes no notice.. and Amber laughs it off)

AMBER: I'll tell you what.. I think I'd feel more comfortable if Ruby held him, and you can wash him Gel.. But I'll assist.. come on..

(The three girls head to the stream and Jay approaches Bray seeing it as an oppertunity to start a row)

JAY: I'm curious Bray, Why didn't you kick me out for what I'd done

BRAY: I had my reasons .. (he replied not making eye contact with Jay)

JAY: Which would be?

BRAY: Let's just say, your of more use to us, than you are a threat .. (he answers calmly)

JAY: Have you always been such a push over with the ladies?

BRAY: (Raising his right eyebrow).. Meaning?

JAY: Meaning... Amber dated me... An ex techno.. Someone half responsible for the reason the two of you were parted in the first place..

BRAY: Your on dangerous ground pal.. (Bray warns)

(Jay sences Bray tensing up and losing his cool.. so he decides to keep stirring)

JAY: How did it feel knowing she'd betrayed you? .. I bet it ate away at you when you found each other again and you saw her wrapped around ME.. I had your woman.. needless to say she was hardly worth it though.. I ended up finding out that she's just a no good cheating slag

(With that Bray smacked Jay hard in the face with his fist.. sending Jay falling to the ground..... This caught the attention of Gel.. as Jay got up off the floor he launched himself at Bray.. and the two scrapped on the dirt..)

GEL: That's hot

(Amber looks up at what had caught Gels eye and see's Bray and Jay fighting on the ground)

AMBER: (standing up).. That's NOT hot .. that's serious .. (she says leaving Bray Jnr in the arms of Ruby and running off towards the boys)

(The sound of Amber hurrying towards the others, who seemed to be oblivious to the fight, had suddenly alerted them of the matter)

DARYL: (Suddenly seeing the fight) .. What the?

AMBER: Bray.. Stop it..now.. Jay.. Break it up both of you.. (she screamed)

(She struggled to break the two up, she attempted to squeeze between the two guys... but her tiny frame was no match for the two muscly lads.. and she was shoved back)

AMBER: (shouting).. LEX! EBONY! .. Don't just stand there

LEX: What do you want me to do?

TRUDY: They're going to kill each other .. (she screams)

LEX: (Laughs).. Leave them to it..

AMBER: What? .. (she replies horrifed by Lex's lack of concern)

LEX: That has been in the air for a while now.. they've had it coming a long time

AMBER: Slade? .. Ram? .. Please... (she begs)

VED: Jay.. stop it .. (he yells)

SALENE: (Running towards the two grappling guys).. What does this prove?

(Slade and Ram had most definatley seen plenty of violence in their time.. but seeing Bray and Jay scrapping on the dirt, both covered in bruises and cuts had disturbed them.. the way the two of them were hitting each other, it wouldn't be surprising if one of them ended up seriously injured)

RAM: (Grabbing Jay).. Break it up ..

SLADE: (Restraining Bray).. That's enough..

AMBER: (Stepping forward) .. Two grown guys.. fighting like children.. (she yelled) .. Your both pathetic.. You'd better get yourselves cleaned up...

(she snapped before walking back over to collect her son from Ruby)

(Bray and Jay were both bleeding from the face, they both had a black eye and plenty of bruising to their cheeks.. they definitley looked bad.... And they felt it too.. What had they allowed Bray Jnr and Brady to witness.. What kind of role models were they?)

BRAY: (Walking past Jay) .. This isn't over.. (he warned)

2010-12-23T04:42:00.000-08:00

(That morning as everyone finished their breakfast, Lex had decided that they'd wasted enough time doing nothing.. He wanted to get out there and fetch more supplies.. But he had what 'he' thought was a better idea)

LEX: Hey Amber? .. You reckon the Eco's could help us out a bit?

TRUDY: Lex, the Eco's are miles away..

AMBER: Trudy's right.. it'll take us all day to get there.. Why, anyway?

LEX: Because I was thinking, they could help us out a little.. we need some more supplies.. and they're never short.

AMBER: I don't think that's such a good idea.. You see I'm not welcome among them anymore..

BRAY: How do you know that?

AMBER: (sighing).. They told me..

BRAY: How come? ..

(Amber remains silent... Trudy had heard from Amber about Hawks words.. and she decides to help Amber out and explain to Bray)

TRUDY: When the techno's arrived.. it all got a little crazy and frightening.. Amber and I went back to the Eco's for a while.. for the kids safety mainly... But because of all the times Amber went back to them and left again.. Hawk had decided enough was enough.. and told her if she left them yet again.. that She wouldn't be welcomed among them ever again.

LEX: Well I don't care.. I'm going.. They have what we NEED

AMBER: Lex, if we go.. we ALL go TOGETHER!

LEX: Well what are you waiting for.. get what you need and lets go.. (Lex answered impatiently)

JAY: What if we can't find them?

LEX: We'll cross that bridge when we come to it

GEL: We could get lost

TRUDY: What if they've moved Camp?

(Too many voices we're arguing in Lex's mind.. he was getting frustrated)

LEX: Will you lot make up your mind.. are we doing this or not? .. (he demanded)

SALENE: I for one, would like to go.. Maybe we'll find Mouse again.. And see how she's doing

AMBER: Okay.. all those in favour "Raise your hands"..

(Salene, Lex, Bray, Daryl, May, Ram, Ved, Ruby , Slade, Ebony and Zoe raise their hands)

AMBER: Against?

(Trudy, Gel, Lottie, and Jay raise their hands)

LEX: That's 11 to 4.. your out voted guys.. and by a land slide..

AMBER: Well we'd better get ready haden't we?

GEL: Your joking.. I can't get dirty.. All this climbing and walking will stain my clothes..

RUBY: Would you quit complaining.. you heard Lex.. This other tribe have everything we need.. Unless you'd prefer to go hungry and unwashed

GEL: There's a bath tub in the bathroom

RUBY: (sighing).. But there's NO running water

GEL: Well there's a lake isn't there?

MAY: We can't wash in the same lake that we catch our food from.. That's disgusting.. (she snapped)

AMBER: Yeah.. and I for one feel disgusting.. We haven't washed in days.. We'll start to smell soon

MAY: Ugh.. some of us already do..

(May says holding her nose as Daryl walks past her)

DARYL: What's the matter? .. (he asks laughing)

MAY: YOU STINK..

RAM: There's nothing wrong with a bit of manly sweat May

MAY: Manly sweat? .. More like he's been swimming in the sewers.. Look the sooner we get out of here the better.. We NEED to bath

AMBER: We'll do that once we reach the Eco camp May

MAY: Well I vote, Daryl gets a wash first.. Just smell him

AMBER: (disgusted) .. No thanks May.

BRAY: Are we all ready to go?

GEL: No.. I haven't got my make up

EBONY: You don't NEED make up in the woods Gel

GEL: 'I'.. do .. (she protests)

EBONY: (whispering to Slade). Since, we're going to be roughing it... I should take the handcuffs

SLADE: Handcuffs? .. (he says loudly Laughing)

LOTTIE: What? .. (she asks confused)

EBONY: Slade and I always keep a pair connected to the bed

ZOE: Thanks for sharing that.. (she laughs)

LEX: We didn't need to know that..

AMBER: Yeah.. Ebony.. You ever heard of too much information?

GEL: (Emerging from her bedroom).. It's all here .. (she said holding up her make up bag)

LEX: It took you long enough..

BRAY: Come on then.. Lets go.. (he says opening the cabin door)

The Tribe - Season 6 - Episode 9 ... (Fiction)

2010-12-14T09:03:00.001-08:00

-Episode 9-

(That evening Trudy and Amber were in Amber and Bray's room having a heart to heart.. Amber had a lot on her mind and just needed room to vent.. Trudy being the reliable person she was, always had time for her friends... Although "their" friendship had been tested to the limit at times.. Trudy was always there for Amber.... Trudy was the most loyal friend that Amber had ever had.. and that is why she'd share all her thoughts and feelings with Trudy over any of the other females in the tribe.. but this time Trudy also had a secret to share)

AMBER: (Pacing).. God.. "What", do we do with Jay? .. Do we kick him out? .. Doe's he stay? .. WHAT? .. (she says motioning with her hands)
TRUDY: Amber, calm down.. he hasn't committed any crimes against the whole tribe.. If he's to be given the boot that's for everyone to decide remember?
AMBER: Yeah.. but Trudy, I can't bear looking at him right now.. He makes me so angry.. I still can't believe what he did
TRUDY: Let me ask you something..
(Amber comes to a halt.. slightly tired from all the pacing.. She gives Trudy her full attention)
AMBER: Go on.. (Amber replies impatiently)
TRUDY: Okay.. Say Bray had never returned..but he was out there somewhere.. BUT, you didn't have any proof.. And you'd found out this information from Ram.. What would you do about it?
AMBER: How do you mean?
TRUDY: Well.. would you have broken up with Jay, or would you have carried on?
AMBER: What has this got to do with anything?
TRUDY: It's important
AMBER: Okay.. Well I'd have forced Ram to tell me Bray's destination.. and if he didn't know.. I'd have made him help me track him down
TRUDY: That's not what I asked
AMBER: Fine.. Yes.. I'd have dumped Jay.. How could I stay with someone who'd lied to me, just so he could be with me? .. Jay crossed the line.. he knew how strongly I loved Bray... So I'd have dropped him so quickly for betraying my trust.. Why anyway?
TRUDY: I just didn't want to hear you contradict yourself that's all .. (she smiled)
(Trudy tilted her head.. she really wanted to tell Amber about the other night, because she hated keeping secrets from her... but she couldn't.. She didn't want to destroy Bray and Amber.. so she kept quiet)
.................................................................................................

(In the cabin living space.. Lex and Zoe we're going up and down the room carrying things from one room to another.. they had already started to Move their things into Jack and Ellie's old room.. )

GEL: Give it back you little thief before I break your fingers.. you won't be stealing anything from anyone else again
LOTTIE: I haven't got it.. I haven't got anything of yours.. (she yelled hiding behind Bray)
(Lottie didn't know Bray all that well.. and she'd only known him the few day's they'd been in the cabin but somehow she felt safe hiding behind him.. Probably because he was the tallest one there)
BRAY: Woah... Cool it.. What's going on here?
GEL: Ask her..She stole it
EBONY: So little miss pick pocket strikes again huh? .. (Ebony pipes up)
BRAY: Stole what exactly?
GEL: My hairbrush
(Bray can't believe he was hearing this.. "A hairbrush? Is that it? .. Is she for Real".. he thought.. By the way Gel was screaming the odds, anyone would have thought Lottie had stolen something a lot more valuable than a hairbrush.. Bray has no words.. he just sighs.. all this shouting for a stupid hairbrush)
MAY: Oh.. Her hairbrush is like 'gold' to Gel.. (May says clearing Bray's confusion)
GEL: (still screaming).. I KNOW, you've got it.. Your the only one who steals.. And you'd better give it back.. NOW
LEX: What's going on?
GEL: Lottie stole my hairbrush.. And I want it now
LEX: You mean 'THIS' hairbrush? .. (he says pulling a pink hairbrush from behind his back)
(Everyone smirks.. they're dying to laugh.. All they could think of was Lex with a PINK hairbrush)
GEL: Yes..Where did you find that? .. In her bag?
LEX: No.. Actually 'I' borrowed it
(The gang could no longer hold back their laughter.. Lex brushed his hair with a PINK hairbrush.. they could just imagine it.. and how camp it made him look.. not only because he was holding it.. but because he'd also admitted to using it)
SLADE: Anything we should know Lex? .. (he smiles jokingly)
LEX: There was nothing else to brush my hair with.
(Zoe appears behind Lex and places her arms around his waist and pops her head under his arm)
ZOE: There's nothing wrong with a guy taking pride in his appearance is there babe?
LEX: That's right.. And maybe if you lot were more bothered about the way YOU looked.. than what I brushed my hair with.. then maybe you'd all be as pretty.. (he answered defending himself .. but not realising the term he'd used)
EBONY: Pretty? .. Now that statement gave us all the proof we need.. (she laughs)
(Bray disappeared to put his son to bed.. whilst the others sat chatting among themselves)
LOTTIE: I'm bored.. (she complained)
AMBER: That's life, We're ALL Bored
SALENE: Where's Jay?
AMBER: I don't know.. (she answered in a tone that said "she didn't care either")
VED: He's in his room
RUBY: He's been in there since this afternoon..
RAM: Too ashamed to show his face perhaps?
AMBER: And so he should be.. (she snapped)
RUBY: Does anyone other than Amber.. have a problem with him?
(Everyone shakes their head)
RUBY: Well then.. I'm going to go and see him.. Maybe talk him into joining us.
AMBER: (angry).. I want him gone
BRAY: What's that? .. (Bray said emerging from his room and shutting the door)
TRUDY: Amber want's to kick Jay out
(Bray didn't like Jay, but he wasn't keen on throwing him out either.. He'd rather watch Jay stew)
BRAY: No.. As leader, I say he stays
AMBER: Have you gone completely mad? .. He can't be trusted.. he'll come between us
(Ruby emerges from Jay's room with Jay)
BRAY: No he won't.. I promise.. (he says kissing Amber on the forehead)
(Lex decides to be the first to speak to Jay)
LEX: Look buddy.. what you did to Bray and Amber was wrong man.. They didn't deserve that..
JAY: I know.. And I'm sorry .. (he says with great sincerity)
AMBER: You should be..
SALENE: But ... we've discussed it and we don't hold it against you.. It's done and finished with.. Bray and Amber are together now.. And I think she's made her feelings quite clear... But stop hiding away.. you're still part of the tribe if you want to be.. on the terms that you actually help when we need you to.. You can't keep staying in your room all day!
(Amber looks away in disgust)
BRAY: Amber!
AMBER: I'm going out.. (she grabs her coat and heads for the door)
BRAY: Where are you going?
AMBER: I told you.. OUT
BRAY: Wait a minute.. Amber.... (raises his voice , overpowering the others).. Hey.. Listen up everyone.. I've got something to say..
(Everyone awaits eagerly .. wondering what Bray has to say next... Bray Kneels in front of Amber and pulls a tiny heart shaped box out of his pocket.. Amber steps back.. her mouth open slightley..she knew what he was going to say and she was speechless)
BRAY: (Opening the Box to reveal a beautiful gold ring encrusted with shining diamonds).. Would you do me the honour in making me the happiest man alive? .. Will you marry me? .. (he smiles)
(There's no hesitation from Amber.... ecstatic she drops her coat and throws herself at Bray)
AMBER: Yes..
(The room fills with cheers and clapping.. Everyone had waited for that day.. the day that their leaders would finally get engaged.. but nobody could be happier than Amber..)

-Episode 8-

(That afternoon some of the gang were feeling pretty down about Jack and Ellie's departure.. whilst Lex had other things on his mind.. If he was to take lead as Bray had offered him the chance to do.. then he wasn't about to sit down moping over two friends who had by their OWN choice left to start a new life)

LEX: Come on guys.. They're gone.. We have bigger and more pressing matters to attend to..
MAY: Maybe this isn't the time
LEX: Look I don't know about you lot.. but I haven't got time for this.. If we run out of food, what are the kids going to do? .. What you expect them to starve?
BRAY: I'm with Lex
LEX: Hey.. I don't think I ever thanked you for giving me a role within the group.. So thanks pal .. (Lex said giving Bray a friendly pat on the back)
BRAY: Don't worry about it.. You're actually doing me a favour.. And sometimes you don't think it's worth the pressure.. but you have to carry on leading regardless.. it's a tough job.. and everyone needs a break once in a while
LEX: Well when it reaches that point for me.. You can take over again.. (he laughs)
AMBER: Okay.. who's coming?
LEX: I want... Bray, Amber, Ram, Ebony and Slade.. the rest of you can stay with the women and children
MAY: I wanna come
LEX: No way..
MAY: I'll be fine.. I survived on my own for a while after the virus
LEX: The decision has been made
MAY: Fine..whatever.. (she huffs)
GEL: Can I come? .. (she asks fluttering her eyelashes at Bray)
BRAY: No Gel.. This isn't a fashion show.. It could be dangerous .. (he replied.. looking at Gel as though she was crazy)
ZOE: What about me? ..I can look after myself
LEX: I know you can babe.. but we need some muscle here.. in case there's any trouble
BRAY: Ved comes with us
LEX: What? .. What do we need that little weakling for?
BRAY: He could be useful.. Besides.. he's the only one of us with a decent and powerful enough weapon incase we're out numbered
AMBER: Bray's right.. I'd feel a lot safer with Ved .. he has his wrist laser..
VED: Erm.. HAD a wrist laser
BRAY: Oh that's right.. Zoe.. Give Ved his wrist laser back
(Zoe reaches into her pocket and pulls out the wrist laser offering it back to Ved.. he reaches for it, but she withdraws her hand qucikley)
ZOE: But point it at Lex again.. and you're history .. (she warned handing him the zapper)
..........................................................................

(Outside the gang had ventured deep into the forest.. it looked quite spooky and it was very dark and extremely cold.. the weather had taken a turn for the worse compared to that of the morning.. And Ebony was certainly feeling it.. Either that or she just wanted a cuddle from Slade)

EBONY: Is it just me.. or can everyone else feel how freezing it is?
LEX: What's wrong Ebony? .. Getting scared?
EBONY: No Lex.. Quite the opposite.. I find risking my life thrilling! .. (she answered sarcastically)... But I'm still cold
(Slade put his arm around Ebony as they carried on walking)
LEX: I don't feel it? .. Are you REALLY that cold?
EBONY: No Lex.. I'm making it up.. It's an attempt to feel your embrace babe.. (she replied teasingly)
LEX: Whatever turns you on.. (he laughs.. going along with Ebony's joke)
(Bray, Amber , Ved, Slade and Ram crack up from hearing the joke shared between Lex and Ebony)
.....................................................................................

(Back at the cabin Daryl, was getting on EVERYONE's nerves talking about Zoot)

DARYL: You know.. I always thought.. what's the big deal with this Zoot guy anyway? ..
RUBY: You tell us Daryl.. You were the one who played along with the Techno's long enough.. dressed as Zoot
DARYL: Yeah.. but.. Power and Chaos.. Power and Chaos.. I mean didn't that guy have a wider vocabulary?
GEL: A what?
MAY: Forget it Gel.. You wouldn't understand it if we deciphered it for you anyway
GEL: What's that supposed to mean?
MAY: Basically you wouldn't get it.. even if we converted it into something more understandable for you
GEL: No.. I mean.. did you insult me?
MAY: That was the general idea.. duh.. (May replied bitchily)
(Daryl and Lottie giggled childishly)
GEL: I don't need brains.. Looking this good takes ALL my energy
MAY: Looking like what? .. The back end of a horse..
SALENE: Quit it.. the pair of you.. Your worse than the kids
MAY: Well that's what boredom does to ya sometimes
.......................................................................................

(Meanwhile deep in the forest, the gang had packed up all of what they could find.. Mostly berries and fruit.. but it'd do for the time being.. They didn't fancy staying out too long in case they got spotted and followed back to the cabin)

SLADE: We should head back
LEX: Has anyone seen Ved and Amber?
BRAY: They were just there.. (he says turning round and pointing.. but they'd gone).. Amber? .... Ved?
EBONY: Where are they?
VED: What's wrong? .. (Ved replied emerging from behind a thick tree)
RAM: Where have you been?
VED: Calm down.. you know when nature calls..
BRAY: Where's Amber?
VED: How should I know? .. She didn't follow me
AMBER: Let me go..
(Amber is now in sight being held around the waist and guarded around the neck by an evil looking stranger)
BRAY: Get off her.... (Bray warns.. speeding towards the guy holding Amber)
STRANGER: Stay back.. (he warned pulling out a knife).. Take one more step and the girl gets it
(Bray, Ved, Ram, Lex, Slade and Ebony.. stand back looking helpless as another two knife wielding weirdo's emerge from the bushes)
EBONY: What do you want from us?
STRANGER: Your all trespassing, and STEALING by the looks of it.. Give us the bag.. and come with us.. NOW .. (he orders)
RAM: I don't trust him.. (Ram whispers to Lex)
LEX: Your not alone there pal
STRANGER: The bag.. COME ON.. HURRY UP..
EBONY: What do we do?
BRAY: (Leaning in towards Ved).. Ved.. How accurate is your aim?
VED: What?
BRAY: Can you shoot that thing without shooting Amber? ..
VED: Oh that? .. I never miss my target.. (Ved replied confidently)
(Bray knew it was risky.. but he had no other choice.. who knew what these creeps had planned)
BRAY: Do it..
VED: What setting?
RAM: Delete them
STRANGER: You're starting to annoy me
(Ved adjusts his wrist laser and takes aim)
BRAY: AMBER get down.. (he yells)
(Amber slid through the strangers grasp and fell to her feet and seemingly just in time as the red laser beam from Ved's zapper struck the stranger.. and he disappeared)
STRANGER #2: What have you done with our fr..
(Before he could finish.. Ved had deleted both of the other's along with the first guy.. Bray runs over to Amber and picks her up)
RAM: Great shot Ved
LEX: Yeah.. Nice hits.. (he replied impressed)
VED: It was nothing.. it's all in the aim
AMBER: (dusting herself down).. I can't believe what just happened
BRAY: Are you alright?
AMBER: I'm fine.. I just went down the little valley there.. (she says pointing).. to collect water and I was grabbed.. Who were those guys?
SLADE: I don't know.. but I'm just glad we didn't get chance to find out
AMBER: Where did they go?
RAM: They're trapped in virtual reality.. they can't get out
AMBER: Are they dead?
RAM: Amber, Amber, Amber.. Silly.. No.. Deleted doesn't mean they're dead.. Didn't Jay tell you?
AMBER: (feeling betrayed by Jay) ..No.. No he didn't..
RAM: "Deleted" has many meanings .. and death is NOT one of them.. It can mean.. Lost in the game..Memory Loss... Whereabouts unknown.. that kind of thing.. The only way to dispose of someone permenantley from "deletion" is to delete them on the game , send them to the recycle bin.. then empty it...
BRAY: But that wouldn't make it permenant .. Since you CAN revive lost and deleted files from the recycle bin through search
RAM: Do you always have to be so precise? .. I like to leave a little mystery to my tales.. (he jokes.. before errupting in laughter)
...................................................................................

(For the whole of the walk back to the cabin Ram's words replayed over and over in Amber's head.. "RAM: Didn't Jay Tell you? .. 'Deleted' had many meanings.. and death is NOT one of them"....... "RAM: Didn't Jay Tell you? .. 'Deleted' had many meanings.. and death is NOT one of them".... "RAM: Didn't Jay Tell you? .. 'Deleted' had many meanings.. and death is NOT one of them"... The words echoed in her mind.... Amber shook her head to get rid of the thought.. "He lied to me".. she thought.. a short scene replayed in her mind.. "AMBER: Deleted? .. Mind telling me what that means? .. JAY: It means he's dead.... AMBER: Are you sure? .. In the real world.. or the Virtual world?".. Jay's words rung over and over in her ears.. "JAY: It means he's dead" )
AMBER: The little... (she stopped herself from saying what she wanted to say next)
BRAY: What's that?
AMBER: Oh nothing.. Just thinking out loud
(As they reached the cabin.. Amber had only one thing on her mind.. she had to have it out with Jay.. She stormed in and headed straight to Jay's room)
LEX: What's gotten into her?
BRAY: I don't know.. (he replied confused)
AMBER: (Opening the door to Jay's bedroom).. I want a word with you.. (she say's slamming the door behind her)
(Curious as to why Amber was so angry, everyone else had gathered outside Jay's bedroom, their ears pressed to the door)
AMBER: (She didn't hesitate to spew her thoughts).. You LIED to me.. You told me deleted meant dead.. Was this just one of your games?.. Oh poor little Amber.. I have feelings for her.. I know she feels something for me.. Why don't I make it easy for her.. Let's lie and twist the truth about the meaning of deleted.. maybe then I might stand chance with her.. is that how it was? .. (she almost left herself out of breath from yelling so quickly)
JAY: Woah.. Amber .. slow down.. What are you talking about?.. (he asks standing up from his bed)
AMBER: Don't lie to me.. And don't you dare play innocent.. You knew that deleted had numerous meanings and that DEATH wasn't one of them... How could you do this to me?
JAY: Amber I..
AMBER: Don't say a word Jay.. You don't need to.. some things speak for themselves.............I'm starting to realise now.. why you didn't seem to mind that Ram was out of the way...... Your selfish and conceited..... You make me SICK!

-Episode 7-

(Amber stood by her bedroom door and took a quick second glance over at a sleeping Jay, then turned her attention to Bray Jnr who was fast asleep.. not even a stir from him.. "He'll be okay for a short while, He's asleep".. she thought to herself, before looking over at Jay again)
AMBER: Sorry Jay .. (she whispered to herself)
(Closing her bedroom door behind her, she made her way to Bray and Lex's room.. she walked bare foot across the cold wood floors of the living space.. then gentley opened the door to where she saw Bray sleeping peacefully in the bed at the opposite side of the room from Lex.... Entering, she made her way over to Bray's bed and sat on the edge of it.. She sat there for a while just staring at his face.. "Please don't reject me".. she thought, wondering if this was the right time to wake him)
AMBER: I love you.. (she whispered stroking his baby face)
(Bray stirred a little at the feel of Amber's touch....... she quickley covered his mouth as he awoke)
BRAY: Amber? .. Do you know what time it is?.. .What do you want?.
AMBER: (Nodding she speaks quitely) .. You.......
BRAY: Can't it wait till the morning?
AMBER: No... I can't sleep... I have to do this now...(pauses).. I love you.. It's you I want
BRAY: What about Jay?
AMBER: I can't stay with Jay, everytime I close my eyes I see your face.. it's haunting me.. And I like it.. (she smiles)
(Closing her eyes.. she leans in towards him .. as their lips touch.. Amber realises.. this is what she'd been missing.. no one's kisses had made her feel more at home than Bray's... The night was going to be a special one)
.................................................................................................

(In the morning everyone gathers in the living space and what a sight they are.. They looked like at bunch of strangers.. Their moods differed from person to person.. Amber hands Bray his son for him to change and feed..... Jay's attempts to get close to Amber uneases her as she shuffles away..... Zoe and Lex seem to be making flirtatious eye signals at each other.. whilst Trudy looks happier than she had ever been in a long time.. Slade and Ebony are happily snuggled together in the corner.. Ram and Ved look like a pair of gossiping girls as they have a good catch up whilst Lottie, Daryl and Salene are sat chatting among themselves.. Gel is "as always" checking herself out in the mirror.. Jack and Ellie look rather uncomfortable ..And May is stood bored and tapping her foot)
LEX: I think since no one is especially busy today.. We should make use of it and go out and look for food and supplys.. We can split up into teams.. And the weaker few can stay with the children.... However I AM still a little bit tired... no thanks to the noise that kept me awake last night
TRUDY: What noise?
JAY: Yeah.. I slept like a baby..
LEX: You might have.. But I can't say the same for Amber
(Confused .. Jay turns his attention to Amber.. Amber bows her head feeling guilty for what she'd done behind Jay's back...She decided to come right out with it and tell him.. "He's bound to find out soon anyway".. she thought)
AMBER: There's no easy way to tell you this..... but.. Bray and I... We're back together
JAY: (feeling hurt and angry).. Since when?
AMBER: Last night...
JAY: Tell me you didn't do what I think you did.... Not without speaking to me first
LEX: Oh trust me .. she did exactly what you think she did
BRAY: Shut it.. Lex
AMBER: Look I didn't want to hurt you.. but.. I couldn't continue living this lie.. I couldn't sleep last night because all I wanted to do was follow my heart.. I couldn't deny it what it wanted Jay.. You knew how I felt about Bray, before you got close to me... So you must have known deep inside, that the day I found him again.. that I'd want to be with him.
JAY: I guess I knew deep down that I'd lost you... but I never thought you'd cheat on me
(Jay walked to his room feeling hurt and betrayed.. Whilst Bray comforted Amber)
AMBER: This isn't what I expected at all.. I thought breaking up with him would be so straight forward.. that he'd be understanding
BRAY: You know, it was a decision between hurting him.. or breaking two hearts... And YOUR heart made the right choice.. Amber, what else could you have done?
AMBER: While I can't possibly feel any lower.. I have an apology to make.. Zoe... I've been a total bitch towards you.. I admit.. when I first met you.. I got the wrong idea about you and Bray.. and I'm very sorry.. Forgive me?
ZOE: You make my brother happy.. so there's nothing to forgive..
(Wrapped in Bray's embrace, Amber smiles....... Jay emerges from his room with his small bag packed)
LEX: Where do you think you're going?
JAY: Oh don't worry.. I'm not leaving.. I wouldn't give anyone the satisfaction.. (he says aiming the comment at Bray).. But I thought I'd make things easier.. I'm switching rooms with Bray
LEX: Your kidding me? .. last night I witnessed something that will haunt me for the rest of my life.. thanks guys.. (he says looking at Bray and Amber.. before turning his attention back to Jay)... and now you want me to share a room with someone who'll be sulking for the rest of the year over what happened last night.... no way
EBONY: (Smiling).. Wait.. what will haunt you Lex? .. (Ebony asked intrigued)
LEX: What I SAW ... And heard.
(The gang start to laugh.. But Bray and Amber didn't seem to care.. they had each other and that's all that mattered)
LEX: Besides.. I have a little announcment of my own to make.. Zoe and I.. We're together.. We'd like a room of our own soon.. but for now I'd rather share with Ram.. at least I won't hear any crying from him..
RAM: (clapping both his hands together).. Well that's sorted.. Jay, Your in with Ved and Daryl
SALENE: Lex.. there is NO more room
LEX: Well we'll have to MAKE room
JACK: Ah.. Actually there's no need to fight about Space.. Lex and Zoe.. you'll get your wish
SLADE: Jack.. is there something you'd like to share with the rest of us?
JACK: Yeah.. (Jack replied feeling as though he was letting his own tribe down)
(Ellie notices Jacks discomfort and helps him out)
ELLIE: What he means is.. Jack and I.. We're leaving
AMBER: What? .. But you can't.. Where will you go?
RUBY: Jack we need you.. We need both of you.. We need ALL OF US
JACK: I'm sorry guys.. this just isn't for us.. I mean you guys talk about going back to the city soon.. and it's just not for us.. not again.. So many bad things have happened in the city.. and for Ellie and I to start again.. We need to be away from it all..
ELLIE: We feel safer out here
JACK: We'll last longer on our own
LEX: Yeah like you two could survive on your own
JACK: What I meant was we'd survive longer as a couple out here.. without anyone in the city trying to tear us apart.. But thanks for the overwhelming vote of confidence Lex.. that means a lot
LEX: Hey, I was just saying
SALENE: I can't believe you're leaving us ..
JACK: You don't need us anymore
ELLIE: Besides.. you've got Ram.. he's smart, and he's a wiz on the computer.. so there you have it.. your very own new.. computer geek
AMBER: Hardly the same though... No offence Ram.. (she smiles)
RAM: (laughing).. None taken
(Whilst the gang rally round Jack and Ellie to give them their best wishes and hugs... May signals for Salene to follow her ... She leads her outside.. it's warm.. but there's a nice cool breeze.. May sits down on a tree stump)
MAY: It's breaking again huh?
SALENE: No.. This is just a splinter in the thumb.. neither of them were big fighters anyway.. We need strength if this tribe is to survive.. Sure they'll be missed.. but with them gone, that's two less backs to have to watch
MAY: You seemed pretty upset inside..
SALENE: I still am.. I just think maybe we'll have a better chance without them.. We'll miss Jack and Ellie so much.. Jack mainly.. he's one of the originals.. a mallrat for sure.. he's a mallrat to the heart.... to the soul even.... he's just got the spirit
MAY: (Saddened).. Unlike me.. you mean?
SALENE: I didn't say that
MAY: But you meant it.. and your right.. I have betrayed you all... so many times.. How long do you think the mallrats will continue to welcome me back with open arms?
SALENE: It's in the past.. You have to wipe the slate clean.. but your right .....the mallrats won't forgive and forget forever... this is your LAST chance.. don't blow it May
(Salene turns to head back inside.. May tugs on her arm.. and stands up to kiss Salene.. but Salene pushes her away)
SALENE: MAY?
MAY: I'm sorry.. I thought maybe..
SALENE: (Interrupting in disappointment).. What? .. That I'd changed my mind? .. May, I'm straight.. I'm not gay.. I thought I'd made myself very clear about that... (sighs).. I care for you as a friend.. but that's as far as it goes!

-Episode 6-

(It was evening, Brady and Bray Jnr were tucked up in bed and fast asleep in their rooms.. whilst the others were sat on the floor in the living space with blankets wrapped around them.. They had quite a strong light glowing from all the candles and they were chatting among themselves.. Bray and Amber were sat at opposite sides of the cabin's living room.. they STILL weren't talking.. Bray was sat next to his sister and Lex at one side of the room.. whilst Amber was wrapped in Jay's arms at the other side...)

SALENE: (Breaking the awkward silence) .. You know what guys? .. I think we'll be alright here.. it's like home
GEL: What? .. We can't stay here forever.. I need new clothes.. shoes.. make up.. this is only be temporary till we find something better.. isn't it? ..(she asks worried)
EBONY: Gel's right.. We CAN'T stay here forever.. but for now it's the best we can do
BRAY: Well.. I don't know about you lot, but my plan is to eventually go back to the city
EBONY: That's my plan too.. but as things stand and whilst we're here.. someone needs to make the decisions and decide what we should do.. I think it should be Bray.. He was our leader before
BRAY: I don't know Ebony... Maybe Lex should take charge for a while...
(Lex is stunned that Bray had nominated HIM.. They'd never been close friends.. but it felt good knowing that Bray trusted him enough)
BRAY: Leadership isn't really my thing.. Besides.. I don't know how long I'll be sticking around.
TRUDY: Bray?
(Bray stands up and leaves the cabin..)
MAY: Ooo .. Someone isn't getting tucked up in bed properly at night... (May bitches)
(Ebony, Trudy, Gel, Lex and Zoe.. shoot an angry look at May.. May notices)
MAY: What? .. I'm only speaking the truth.. (she snaps)
TRUDY: Well some of us would prefer it, if you didn't speak AT ALL.. (Trudy snaps back)
(Amber replays Bray's words in her mind.. "I don't know how long I'll be sticking around".. they re-played over and over in her head.. and by now she was feeling even worse.. Devastated she decides to take herself to bed...... Trudy however, had wondered outside to speak with Bray.. she sit's next to him and places her hand on his shoulder supportively)
TRUDY: How are you doing? .. (She asks softly)
BRAY: Not great
TRUDY: I understand... and I know it's hard.. You and I are in the same boat.. I lost out to Amber so many times.. first with you.. and then with Jay.. (pauses).. but it get's a bit easier.. in time
BRAY: (Devastated to say the least) .. Doe's it? ... (he asks doubtfully)
(Trudy nods and remains silent as Bray turns his head..... face to face with Trudy.. He takes in the soft and concerned expression on her face.. while Trudy stares deep into his eyes seductively, she feels something.. she's not sure what but seeing Bray looking at her with such softness in his eyes, tugs at her heart....... she knew she shouldn't because there was a big chance she'd only end up hurt, but she decides to risk it and take the plunge anyway.. She leans in to kiss Bray.. and she is shocked but pleased when he kisses her back.. And so tenderly! .... their lips linger on each others for a while..)
TRUDY: You're not really going to leave us are you? ..(she asks , still starry eyed after the kiss)
(Bray wasn't really thinking straight.. he was still hurting over Amber.. and was still so confused)
BRAY: (nodding) .. Come with me.. We could get away from it all.. and start again... together
TRUDY: As tempting as that is.. and believe me.. it really IS.... (sighs).. it'd be so unfair to do that to you and your son.. I couldn't watch you to leave him
BRAY: (snapping back to reality).. No your right.. I couldn't leave him .. I don't know what I was thinking
TRUDY: You're not thinking straight.. it's understandable.. I've felt what you're feeling now, so many times before... So I do understand..
(This time Bray made the first move and leaned in to kiss Trudy for a second time... They shared a long passionate kiss.. Meanwhile indoors most of the others had gone to bed.. which meant Lex and Zoe were alone together.. and it seemed like they'd been doing some flirting of their own.. )
LEX: So.. is that a yes.. (he smiles hopefully)
ZOE: That depends what the question is... (she teases Flirtatiously)
LEX: Well this is strange... Normally it just happens... But, here goes ..(taking a deep breath.. he really liked this girl and didn't want to mess up).. do you.. maybe.. wanna go out some time .. (he asked , feeling pretty awkward)
ZOE: Well there's nowhere to go.. being stuck in the middle of nowhere.. (she laughs).. but if you're asking me to be your girlfriend.. I can happily reply yes to that question
(Lex smiles.. and the couple share their first ever kiss.. Sparks fly for Zoe.. it was magical.. she'd never felt this way about anyone before.. she'd had boyfriends in the past.. but for her this was different.. there was something about this guy that gave her butterflies in her stomach when he kissed her.. "could it be love".. she wondered.. but quickly dismissed the thought.. "Love at first touch".. I've never heard of that before, she thought!)
.................................................................................

(In bed Amber was tossing and turning.. she tried so hard to get to sleep but no matter what she just couldn't stop thinking about Bray..and what he'd said earlier that evening.... Sitting up, she turns her head slightly to look at Jay, he's fast asleep and looks so innocent.. "How can I hurt him?" .. she thought.. "But would it be justifiable in the case of love?" .. "If I love Bray, shouldn't I let him know? .. Shouldn't I satisfy my heart? Or should I stay with Jay to avoid hurting another? .. Can I really continue living a lie?" .. These are the questions that went racing through Amber's mind.... Most women would LOVE to have two guys fighting over them.. but Amber hated how things lay between her and Bray right now.. how they were barely speaking just tore her heart out..... In HER head she was in the worse possible situation that she'd ever had to deal with.. deciding whether to listen to her head and stay with her current lover to spare his feelings or listen to her heart and be with her one true love..

Bray's past words echoed in her mind.... BRAY: "Isn't it worse to pretend? .. to live a lie? .. I mean what about LOVE Amber? .. Doesn't that count for anything?"

(In that instance.. Her mind was made up... She wanted him back.. and right now she couldn't care less who she hurt along the way.. At that moment all that mattered is what she wanted ... and she knew exactly how to get him back!)

-Episode 5-

(The friends had only had a short time to catch up.. but it had already managed to lift the moods of some people.. May however despite being happy for Bray and Amber.. and Ved and Jay.. Still felt a little bad.. the main reason being the fact that it was HER fault that Pride had died... Seeing Amber, Bray and their son happily re-united tore at her.. she didn't know why.. but it somehow reminded her of Pride.. "Why couldn't I just have been happy for Pride and Salene?.. the way that I am for Bray and Amber".. she thought to herself! ..She knew that the pain she felt was her own fault! .... Ebony on the other hand was feeling great.. but a little bitchy... She was happy for Ved and Jay... but she was majorly glad to see Bray... but not so pleased to see Amber draped in his arms... Was the jealousy creeping back in? ... What about Slade?.. )

EBONY: As much as I hate to break up these lovely family re-unions .. We came here for a reason
LEX: Ebony's right.. Priorities first.. Story time later
RUBY: Come on.. let the families have a little bit of time.. who know's how long they've been parted
SLADE: All the same, we must get a move on
AMBER: (Detaching herself from Bray).. Where were you heading? ..
BRAY: Back to the city.. We..
AMBER: (Interrupting).. No you can't.. it's too dangerous..
VED: Yeah we know the technos..
AMBER: (Interrupting once again).. NO......... it's not the technos.. it's a new virus..
BRAY: Virus?
AMBER: I'll explain later.. Right now we need to get moving
ZOE: So where are you guys heading?
(Amber looked Zoe up and down.. she didn't know this girl.. all she knew was that she was beautiful and Amber felt very jealous.. "Is this Bray's new girlfriend?" .. she pondered to herself!)
AMBER: Anywhere.. somewhere safe.. somewhere sheltered to sleep.. for the kids mainly..
(she answered as Salene passed Bray Jnr back to Amber)
AMBER: This is Bray Jnr.. OUR son... (she said glancing over at Zoe whilst handing Bray his child)
(Ebony started to smirk to herself.. she knew exactly what was going on here.. She could sense the jealousy in Amber's eyes and she knew that Amber had got the wrong idea about Zoe.. but she wasn't about to put her straight.. she loved to see Amber sweat.. Zoe however oblivious to Amber's mood.. looks on in admiration of her nephew.. she knew she was going to enjoy being an aunt.. Bray Jnr was the most beautiful child she'd ever seen and now he was back with his daddy)
BRAY: (looking down at the child in his arms.. he's almost speechless).. I can't believe it... it was starting to feel like I'd never meet my child..... (feeling as though he could cry).. He's beautiful Amber..
GEL: Yeah.. It seems as though good looks run in the family
BRAY: (Ignoring Gel's comment) .. Look the way you guys were going.. is back to the city.. If it's dangerous, we need to be heading in the oposite direction .. (he informs the group)
GEL: (trying her best to be flirtatious) .. Oh .. handsome and smart .. I like that.. (she says whilst playing with a few strands of her hair)
MAY: Why? ... It's not as though you both share the same qualities..
(May replied bitchily)
GEL: (clearly offended) .. Are you saying I'm not pretty?
MAY: No....... I'm saying your not smart
JAY: Knock it off.. the pair off you... We've found some of our missing friends and family... we should be feeling good.. not arguing
LEX: Yeah.. Are we going to make a start or what? .. Instead of standing here gassing
JACK: (Nodding in agreement) ..We really should get going
(The gang take off in the opposite direction to the one they'd started to walk in..... as they got further and further into the woods everyone had been taking it in turns to carry Brady and Bray Jnr...... Ved was the most exhausted.. he most definatley wasn't used to all this walking)
VED: Someone shoot me
LEX: Gladly ... (Lex didn't hesitate in answering that one)
(As they continued their involuntary hike in search of food and shelter.. it wasn't long before Lottie.. who had eyes like a hawk.. spotted something)
LOTTIE: Look.. what's that?
(It was an old forest cabin.. made up of three separate sections.. it looked abandoned so the gang decided to take a closer look and inspected the cabin.. it was very clean and empty.. and looted for sure.. but it was shelter and definatley big enough for everyone... there was candles, a toilet and a few old magazines,... there were wooden beds but no blankets.. luckily Bray, Ved and Zoe had their survival kits which consisted of gas lighters, water, the odd item of food, and their own blankets... the others also had their own blankets which they'd brought with them from the boat, so they'd be sheltered and warm)
DARYL: This is amazing
AMBER: Sure is ... (Amber replied in delight).. Looks like we've found ourselves a new home
ELLIE: New home?
AMBER: (Brushing off Ellie's question).. Only for now of course
TRUDY: I can't believe it
(Trudy was the one who had been most negative about this whole leaving the mall and the city business.. but even she was impressed)
BRAY: There's still a lot to sort out, like who's sleeping where..
SLADE: And where to get food
BRAY: We'll we're not far from a little lake down there.. (he says pointing in the direction of it).. There's plenty of fish.. that's where, Ved, Zoe and I have been going to catch our food.. I can take some of the guys with me before night sets in
AMBER: Great... (still trying to take it all in).. I'm still amazed we've found somewhere.. this is going to be easier living than I thought
EBONY: Don't get used to it.. It's only temporary remember?
(As everybody got settled and evening drew in, Bray, Slade, Jay, Lex and Ram took off to catch some fish from the lake)
RAM: We shouldn't be too long ladies.. I'm a pro.. (Ram boasted.. even though he hadn't a clue how to catch fish)
LEX: Sure you are Ram.. (Lex replied pushing Ram out of the door)
(By now the bed situation had also been planned.. as the cabin only had 5 separate rooms .. including two smaller rooms detatched from the cabin .. as well as a large living space.. that still only made a total of 7 bedrooms.. as the living space would be used as it's main purpose.. for everyone to chill out and talk.. if they ever had the time........ so it had been decided that Ellie and Jack would be in one room.. Jay and Amber with Bray Jnr in another.. Slade and Ebony in another, then Lottie, Gel, May & Salene all sharing another.. Ruby, Zoe and Trudy with Brady would share another.. then Daryl, Ved and Ram would share another, and Bray and Lex would share the last room)
GEL: (Emerging from the bathroom excitedly).. There's a mirror in the bathroom..
MAY: So?
GEL: So.. I'll look great EVERYDAY.. I have to make an impression on that new Bray guy.. he's quite a catch
(Amber didn't even bat an eyelash, she knew Bray would never even give the time of day in getting to know someone as immature as Gel)
.................................................................................................
(Meanwhile at the lake the boys were doing well.. they'd already caught 5 fish.. but it wasn't nearly enough to feed everyone.. Ram had, had quite enough of not being able to catch any fish and determined not to be beaten he stripped down to his shorts and dived into the lake.. it was a funny sight as the other lads laughed as they watched Ram fighting with the fish to catch them.. but it did the job.. he'd managed to catch some.. and soon the guys were heading back to the cabin where outside the girls had already started a camp fire to cook the fish.. Zoe sat next to Trudy and the girls had a little catch up on the past)
ZOE: Didn't think I'd be seeing you any time soon.. How've you been keeping?
TRUDY: Likewise.. and very well thanks
ZOE: (Turning her attention to Brady).. And who's this? .. Seem's like we've all grown up so fast
TRUDY: We have.. (she laughs).. this is my daughter Brady.. Actually she's YOUR niece too
ZOE: You mean.. You and Bray? .. Bray has two kids?... is this his daughter too?
TRUDY: No.. Bray only has the one.. Brady's, Martin's daughter...
(Trudy decides to tread carefully onto the next subject so she lowers her tone)
TRUDY: You do know..
ZOE: (nodding.. she knew exactly what Trudy was going to say).. That Martin's dead.. yeah.. It's okay.. Bray told me
TRUDY: Oh..
(Trudy and Zoe continue to chat as the lads arrive back with the supper)
SLADE: Nice.. Camp fire ready to go.. we'll be eating in no time..
EBONY: (joining Slade's side).. Yeah.. and something decent instead of crisps, nuts and fruit-bars
(Everyone gathers around the fire and Jay stands next to Amber and puts his arm around her)
JAY: We'll need to organise food for tomorrow as well... otherwise it'll be fish EVERY day.. (he laughed)
AMBER: There has to be other food out here, we just need to find it
(Bray wasn't listening.. he was frowning and confused as to why Jay had put his arm around HIS woman... noticing Bray's confusion ,Gel ceased the opportunity to let Bray know the truth)
GEL: (Standing beside Bray).. That's Jay... He's an ex-techno.. He's Amber's boyfriend
(The words Techno rung in Bray's ears.. he could handle Amber and the others befriending ex-technos.. after all he'd given Ved a chance.. but being in a relationship with one?... that was adding insult to injury)
EBONY: (Adding to the truth) .. It didn't take her very long to move on either if you ask me
TRUDY: Shut up Ebony.. No one asked you
EBONY: Well what are you defending her for? .. She stole him from you in the first place
(Bray shot a look at Amber and Amber knew instantly that Bray was hurting)
AMBER: It's NOT how it seems... (she says trying to ease Bray)
BRAY: So my girlfriend isn't getting it on with the enemy? .. The very person who in all of this was part responsible for half of the bad stuff that has happened.. Amber.. because that's how it seems.
(The others were shocked.. stood in silence awaiting Amber's response)
AMBER: (Pleading).. I am SO sorry..... you have to believe me.. it's not how it seems... Really it isn't..
BRAY: An Ex-techno? ..Amber please .. that's taking it too far
AMBER: Bray please? ... Can we talk?
BRAY: (Heartbroken) .. What is there to say? ..
AMBER: (Remembering the closeness she'd sensed between Bray and Zoe.. anger struck) .. I'm being made to feel guilty for moving on? ..Well what about you and your new glamour girl tart over there?
(Amber storms inside the cabin.. she feels defeated and humiliated.. Bray follows her)
BRAY: You mean Zoe?
AMBER: Oh who else?.. (she snaps)
BRAY: Come on Amber, Your jealous? ..... Of my SISTER?

("Sister"? .. An apologetic look spread across her face.. but she felt too ashamed to look Bray in the eye.... Amber felt so stupid, she couldn't have been more wrong about Bray and Zoe if she'd tried!)

-Episode 4-

(Up in the forest.. Ved, Bray and Zoe are half way up the hill.. from where they're standing there's not much to look at other than trees and more trees.. and it's not long before Ved starts complaining)

VED: How much further?
ZOE: Miles and miles .. (she teases)
VED: I'm not used to this...
BRAY: Do you ever shut up? ... No sorry, I forgot.. this really isn't your thing.. Your used to jumping from planes and riding around in trucks.. (Bray mocks)
VED: Shame there's no plane when I need one
ZOE: Quit complaining Ved, you'll just have to make do with your feet.. that's what they're there for.
......................................................................................

(Meanwhile on the boat.. the gang wait anxiously as they seem to be closing in on dry land.. it's not much of a view.. Only a muddy hillside and a dark forest lay ahead.. but SOMEWHERE.. was better than NOWHERE!.. The gang had agreed that once they were off the boat they'd make food and shelter their first priority.. They still had a few snacks left but they'd rather be stocked up than run out and have to go searching for food on an empty stomach.. Everyone gathers their belongings as they come to a halt)

SALENE: Clean air.. at last
(Salene was feeling good.. she was glad she could breath in fresh air.. instead of the smelly fuels of the boats engine)
SALENE: This is the life.. and we're free to do whatever we want.. no chosen.. no techno's...
EBONY: (Interrupting she continues Salene's fantasy).. No home.. no beds.. no food... Great.. (Ebony was good at stamping peoples hopes into the ground)
SALENE: Whatever.. this will be great
EBONY: Oh sure.. We're in paradise.. (Ebony replies with a rather unimpressed tone)
SALENE: No.. But we could make it just as good
AMBER: Okay guys... into the hills.. and try to stick together..
LEX: If you lose us.. Your on your own... that goes for everyone
AMBER: These woods don't look too friendly
GEL: They look scary
SAMMY: (Putting his arm around Gel's waist).. Don't worry Gel.. You've got me to protect you
(Gel quickly moves Sammy's arm off her.. and looks at him in disgust)
GEL: Eww.. get away from me
(Lex laughs at Gel's discomfort)
RUBY: Gel.. would you knock it off... he's only trying to be nice
GEL: It wasn't YOU he touched
RUBY: He hasn't got a disease .. you know
GEL: How do I know that?
(Sammy feels hurt by Gels comment and turns and runs away)
TRUDY:(Angry) Oh.. Nice one Gel...
EBONY: (Closing in on Gel).. You brainless IDIOT
AMBER: Look what you've done
JAY: Don't worry.. Lex and I will go get him.. He can't have gone far
(Jay and Lex turn to start walking in the direction that Sammy ran... But Amber pulls on their arms)
AMBER: No Jay.. Like Lex said.. We can't afford to split up.. If we lose you guys.. we might not find you again
(Amber didn't like having to make that decision.. but she knew they couldn't afford to lose Jay and Lex.. they'd be useful if they needed some muscle... And losing Sammy they could afford... but Lex and Jay were a different matter)
MAY: Sammy heard the warning.. he's on his own now
LOTTIE: I think Gel should have to go look for him.. it's her fault he ran away anyway...
EBONY: Yeah.. And if she doesn't come back.. Well.. it's not a huge loss.. She's hardly any use to us.. she can't fight and she's also dumb
JAY: That's enough.. No one else is leaving the pack.. We need to stick together.. Now come on
(The gang make a start up the steep hill.. little be known to them that Bray, Ved and Zoe were only at the other side.. Oddly Ram bursts into song.. AGAIN)
RAM: We're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz
(The girls start to laugh)
JAY: I thought we made it clear last time that you can't sing
RAM: I'm still gonna.. (Ram says defiantly)
LEX: and .. I'm going to scout ahead
AMBER: No... Lex
(But before she could say anything else.. Lex had already ran ahead.. at the top of the hill he looks down on the other side.. he recognises someone and starts to run towards them)
LEX: ..Now you little creep ..(he shouts)
(Instinct makes Ved turn and point his wrist laser... Bray and Zoe also turn with a start.. Zoe see's Lex in the distance and then turns her attention to Ved)
ZOE: Ved no..
(Ved lowers his arm slightly..... and Bray looks up.. he see's Lex.. Lex stops running and cautiously steps forward.. he barely notices Bray as he has only one thing on his mind.. and that's to teach Ved a REAL lesson)
LEX: (Speaking to Ved) .. Go on then
VED: Don't push me Lex...
(Ved notices the other mall rats who have reached the top of the hill)
VED: Brought your little army this time?
LEX: I don't need them to finish you off..
(Lex makes a beeline for Ved and Ved raises his arm quickly, pointing his laser at Lex)
BRAY: (Grabbing Ved's arm).. NOT a good idea .. (He says lowering Ved's arm)
(Zoe takes Ved's wrist laser and pockets it.. whilst Lex and Bray share a MAN moment)
LEX: Good to see you pal..
BRAY: You too .. how's things..
(Just then Bray catches a glimpse of Amber and the others.. The MAN moment is quickley brought to a halt as he stands staring at Amber, and he notices Salene taking hold of the baby Amber had just been carrying... HIS baby)
LEX: Bray? ..
(Lex follows Bray's gaze and finally realises what he's staring at..... As Bray looks adoringly at his son from the distance, Jay notices Ved and comes running down the hill at speed and almost tumbling over)
JAY: Ved!
(Trudy, Salene, Ebony, Jack, May and Ellie are shocked to see Bray.. but pleased to see he's alive and looking well.. Gel on the other hand feels an instant attraction to Bray)
BRAY: Amber.. (he mumbles)
(It wasn't until she'd reached the bottom of the hill that Amber recognised Bray.. the others were still speechless and stood in silence.. Amber holds her gaze on Bray for a moment before speaking)
AMBER: BRAY.. (she cries happily and throws herself into his arms.. tears of happiness streaming down her face)

(At that moment nothing else mattered.. Amber was where she'd wanted to be for so long.. back in the arms of her one true love.... Whilst Jay looked on feeling a little awkward and insecure as he watched the couple embracing each other.. he felt his grip on Amber slipping away)

-Episode 3-

(As morning rises the sleepy mallrats gather at the top of the boat.. it's still a little windy and it's not long before they realise someone is missing)

TRUDY: Where's the food?
AMBER: No.. No.. Where's Connor?
(Lex, Ram, Ebony and Slade glance over at each other smiling)
LOTTIE & SAMMY: (Whining).. Who care's? .. We're hungry
AMBER: I care
LEX: (Trying not to laugh).. He had to take a COLD..bath
EBONY: (Also trying not to laugh, she puts her hand on Lex's shoulder).. Really? .. Because I heard he went for a swim..
(Amber notices that there is something funny going on.. she crosses her arms)
AMBER: Where is he?
RAM: We told you he went for a splash
AMBER: (Shaking her head) .. Okay.. Can someone who isn't speaking in riddles.. please tell me what happened? ... Slade? ... (She asks glancing over at him)
SLADE: Well those three WERE pretty close to telling you the truth... We threw him overboard..
AMBER: (Re-acting quickly to what had been said).. WHAT?
LEX: Listen.. he almost attacked Ebony last night
EBONY: ALMOST! .. But he got a shock when I kicked him
SLADE: I just hope he never want's kids anytime in the near future.. I think he'll be pretty useless now.... (he laughs)
AMBER: Oh this is just great.. (she rants furiously).. now how are we going to get anywhere? .. He's the only one with the right knowledge of how to drive this thing
LEX: Oh chill out.. how hard can it be? ...... (sighs).. I'll do it.
(Lex turns around and comes face to face with Jay as he whispers to him)
LEX: Amber's stress levels are pretty high this morning.. looks like someone isn't satisfying his woman properly.. (he teases)
JAY: Leave it Lex
AMBER: Lex, start the boat and lets get moving.. the sooner the better.. I don't know how much longer I can stand being cramped on this thing
DARYL: Tell me about it.. sleeping on hard wood floors hasn't done any good for my back
MAY: (Stepping forward).. I don't know why everyone's complaining.. At least we had somewhere dry to spend the night.. and at least we're all together
(Amber storms back down to the lower deck to attend to her baby)
ELLIE: All together May? .. Don't talk stupid.... We're not the Mallrats anymore.... (she looks around).. look at us.. this isn't even HALF the tribe..
LEX: We're still the mallrats.. We just don't have a mall to live in anymore
ELLIE: Or half our friends.... (she replies sadly)
(Ellie seems to slip into a world of her own.. remembering the good old days.. the times they were all together in the mall.. but her daydream is interrupted when she hears Jack's voice)
JACK: Ellie? .. Are you okay?
(Ellie looks up and just manages a half smile)
JACK: What's on your mind?
ELLIE: (Shakes her head).. Nothing.. Just remembering
JACK: Hey, we'll be okay.. I promise
ELLIE: But will the others?
(Jack has no answer to that... he remains quiet)
ELLIE: When we get off the boat.. I want to do something for our missing friends
JACK: (Taking Ellie's hand).. What's that? ..
ELLIE: A bit like Taisan would have.. but different.. I have some old photos of everyone... and I want to have a sort of memory ceremony.. for Alice, Bray, Taisan, Patsy, Ryan, Cloe, KC, Danni.. all of them who went missing without a trace..
JACK: (Understanding.. he nods and smiles).. Okay
ELLIE: I think it'd really help me... And Amber and Lex.. (she smiles)
..........................................................................................

(Meanwhile back on the Island ... Ved, Bray and Zoe were preparing to continue their walk in hopes of getting back to the city)

VED: I hate to be a buzz kill.. but you know we won't reach the city before nightfall.. we're still miles away
BRAY:(placing his bag on the dirt).. No.. but by nightfall we'll be closer to it than we are now..
VED: We're no match for the techno's.. there's only three of us... besides they have more equipment than us.. I've seen it
ZOE: Okay Ved.. what's bugging you?... You we're all up for it yesterday.. and now.. you've lost your will to fight
VED: No I haven't... I just think if we're gonna do it.. we need to be careful
BRAY: Ved.. we can handle them.. We just stay out of sight..... And failing that.. then we just send Zoe in.. Looking at her face will send them into shock you won't even have to use your wrist laser... Don't worry about it
(Zoe takes note of Bray's face.. He's not smiling.. She think's he's being serious.. feeling hurt she throws her back pack to the ground.. and quickly walks off)
BRAY: Zoe... (Running after her)
VED: Don't worry about me... I'll just sit here .. ALONE
(Ved calls after them in a sarcastic tone..)
BRAY: Zoe.. I didn't mean it seriously... it was a joke
ZOE: (Turning to face Bray.. she points straight at him).. You said it... And Bray you know I've never been the most confident person..
BRAY: Zo, I'm your brother.. Brothers are supposed to be a pain.. we joke and fool around.. and we tease our younger siblings.. Your just not used to it because we haven't been together as a family since the virus....Guys never grow up.. and I'll always be your pain in the backside brother.. (Pauses).. Look... I love winding you up.. but I'd never hurt you... at least not intentionally... It was a joke.. don't take it to heart.
(Zoe hugs her brother tight and they both walk back to Ved)
VED: Family row sorted?..... can we get moving now?
ZOE: Oh.. so now you wanna get going? .. When it suits you?
VED: .. Yeah well.. family arguments... (shakes his head)... not really my thing

(Bray, Ved and Zoe.. set off up the hill of the forest.. the forest is surrounded by tall trees and has loads of muddy paths leading in all different directions.... Bray, Ved and Zoe stick together.. they know that if they get split up in a forest this big and maze like .. that the chances of finding each other again are pretty slim...)

-Episode 2-

(On dry land, deep in the forest two guys are layed on blankets around a camp fire.. it's dark and they seem to be enjoying each others company.. to look at they were the complete opposite of each other.. who'd have guessed the two of them would be friends? .. The first guy was 21, tall, had shoulder length light brown hair.. the other was 17, not very tall and had short bleach blonde coloured hair, As the two chat.. they're joined by a tall.. and very pretty 19 year old girl with long black hair)

BRAY: I don't think we're very far from the city now.. We'll travel further tomorrow
VED: It's risky.. we're not the most popular people to the techno's right now.... (pauses).. lucky I have this.. (he says tapping his wrist laser)
BRAY: What setting? ..
(Bray asked with narrowed eyes)
VED: Death... (he replied raising his right eyebrow and smiling)
ZOE: Ved? .. (she says shaking her head in disapproval)
(Bray didn't like that idea either.. Ved had been a techno once and although they'd formed a strong bond of friendship over the months.. there was still something about Ved that made Bray wary of him and slightly untrustworthy of his new found pal)
BRAY: Turn it down a few.. Ved .. There's been enough bloodshed already
VED: What? .. and miss out on seeing the fun of the techno's getting what they've had coming?
ZOE: Look kid.. your not the only one who wants to kick the techno's into touch.. but to commit murder? .. (pauses).. Your target? .. (she asks worried)
VED: I have my list... (he replied smiling)
BRAY: Who .. VED... (Bray demanded)
VED: Just some scumbags back in the city.... Ram.. Lex..
BRAY: (Frowning).. Lex? ... No .... we're keeping this business strictly Techno.. you never mentioned having any beef with the mallrats... That's MY Tribe... and they stay in one piece... You understand? .. (he warned)
VED: Sure..
(Ved replied.. but he knew deep down that he'd do what he liked regardless of what Bray and Zoe told him)

............................................................................................

(Back on the sea.. Connor stopped the boat as night drew in.. Amber, Trudy and Ruby were already asleep on the floor in the lower cabin.. Bray Jnr and Brady were also sound asleep tucked up sharing one of the beds.. whilst Ebony hogged the other.... nobody had been bothered to argue with her over a stupid bed, since they were all so tired.. they just couldn't be bothered giving Ebony the satisfaction of yet another fight.... It was a tight squeeze but somehow.. Daryl, Sammy, Gel, Lottie, Salene, May, Jack and Ellie had managed to find a spot and settle down for the night.. Whilst Ram, Lex, Slade and Jay stayed on the top deck with Connor.. It was cold but they had blankets... then weirdly Ram started to sing.. about the boat and the water)

RAM: (singing).. Over and over the waves we go.. where will we end up.. nobody knows.. (he laughs)
SLADE: Will you shut up
JAY: (Nodding in agreement with Slade) ..You can't sing ..
RAM: Ahh I amuse myself
LEX: I'm glad .. (Lex replies sarcastically).. Someone has to... Now can we please get some sleep in peace?
(Ram feels like just for that, Lex deserves his undivided attention)
RAM: What's the matter Lex? .. Don't you like my song?
JAY: Trust me it's not the song.. (Jay muttered)
RAM: Lex?
LEX: It's not the SONG that's the problem..
(During the discussion between the guys.. none of them had realised that Connor had snaked his way down to the lower cabin.. this only meant trouble, especially considering the comment he'd made about the girls that afternoon ... As Connor managed to tip toe around those who were asleep on the floor.. he reached Ebony's bed and hovered for a while... then as he attempted to lift the blanket, with the intention to climb in beside her.. he was greeted with a kick to the groin..)
EBONY: (As she springs up in her bed she grab's Connors right arm and twisted it around till he winced in pain) .. You picked the wrong girl to try messing with buddy
SLADE: Damn straight ..
(Slade said appearing below deck... You could see the hate in his eyes as he stepped over the sleeping bodies.. He made his way over to Connor and punched him straight in the nose.. sending Connor flying back and knocking him clean out... Slade and Ebony turned as they heard Lex's cackle.. they both greet Lex with a smile)
LEX: You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that mate...
SLADE: (Laughs).. Nobody messes with my woman in that way
(Ebony was tough and knew how to handle herself but she loved having a man who'd stick up for her and protect her in every situation)
RAM: (Seeing Connor knocked out on the floor of the lower deck) .. Oh.. What a shame.. I miss all the fun..
SLADE: He had it coming...
LEX: (Still laughing uncontrollably).. I think you broke his nose
EBONY: (Brushing it off).. He'll live..
(Ebony looks around at those asleep on the floor)
EBONY: It's like a morgue in here... All this commotion and not one of them has so much as stirred... Lazy .. idle .. slobs.
SLADE: Kids sleep through anything..
EBONY: I didn't mean the kids.. I was talking about their mothers.. (she laughs).... Anyway.. what do we do with HIM? .. (she says pointing to Connor, who's nose was now bleeding)
SLADE: We'll guard him until he comes round..
EBONY: Then what?
LEX: Then he goe's over board .. (Lex smirks)
RAM: I have a better suggestion..
(Lex, Slade and Ebony look at Ram with great interest.. as they wonder what amazing idea Ram had come up with)
RAM: We DON'T wait until he comes round.. we just throw him over board already....
(He pauses as he awaits a reaction from Slade, Lex and Ebony)
RAM: (Speaking in all seriousness) ..How about it? .. (he smiles as though what he'd just suggested was all innocent)
(The other three exchange smiles.. how didn't they guess that Ram would have suggested that? .. As they look around at each other exchanging glances, they can hardly contain their laughter)

-Episode 1-

(As the Mallrats and their other friends settled onto the boat leaving the city, they felt a mix of emotions.. Fear, Worry and most of all .. 'sadness' for the loss of some of their closest friends...
.. Leaving the Mall behind, the place they first formed their tribe.. their home.. was the hardest thing they ever had to do.
Trudy was feeling worse of all.. The place she'd called home.. the place she'd given birth to her baby would always hold dear in her heart!)

TRUDY: What are we going to do? .. Where are we going to go? .. The mall was our home!
RUBY: And Liberty was mine.. we've all had to make sacrifices Trudy.. Your not the only one
TRUDY: (Dismissing Ruby's comment).. You wouldn't understand... You only think of yourself
DARYL: Chick fight ... (he announces proudly)
(Amber over hears Daryl's comment and walks over to them)
AMBER: Go away Daryl.. there will be NO fight
(Amber stared at Daryl and watched as he walked away to sit with Ram.. before speaking to Trudy and Ruby)
AMBER: Look guys.. it's pointless arguing.. Yes it's hard and we've had to make some difficult sacrifices.. but we've got each other.. We HAVE TO look to the future now.. there's no point in looking back.. it won't change anything.. We have to take life as it comes and try to build something from it.. Try and forget the past.
(Ruby sit's in silence and Amber's speech does little to lift Trudy's spirits)
TRUDY: And how do you feel Amber? .. Can you just forget the past? .. Forget everything you and Bray had there once?
(Amber takes a seat next to Trudy)
AMBER: I could NEVER forget.. but Bray's never coming back.. I've had to face that.. Yes it's hard.. but I couldn't just lay down and die.. I had to go on... for the sake of my son
TRUDY: (Jealousy arising).. And Jay now right?
AMBER: Of course..... Jay's part of my life now... things change.. but my feelings for Bray could never!
TRUDY: How are we going to survive Amber? .. I mean at first I was excited.. then scared.. now sad...
(Amber says nothing.. too afraid of what lies ahead)

(The Boat suddenly stops mid-sea.. sending everyone flying back)

LEX: What's going on?
MAY: He won't take the boat any further..
LEX: Why not?
BOAT OWNER: Because you don't have anything to give me in return
(Lex becomes agitated.. as he notices the boat owner who goes by the name of Connor.. giving the women on the boat a creepy look up and down )
BOAT OWNER: Or do you.. (He says replying with raised eyebrows as he sets his sights on Trudy, Ruby, Amber and Ebony)
LEX: You lay a single finger on any one of those girls and your history... Am I making myself clear?.. (Lex replies threateningly)
(Connor feels uneasy and slightly less tough after hearing Lex's threat.. he immediately re-starts the boat)
RAM: (Curious).. Where are we landing the boat exactly?
LEX: We'll worry about that when it comes to it.... Right now lets just survive and get as far away from the city as possible.. the sooner the better.. (he glances over at Bray Jnr and Brady)... for all our sakes.

SALENE: Isn't there ANYTHING to eat on this thing?
MAY: (Nods) Lower deck... there's some snacks but nothing much else
EBONY: Great.. So if the new virus doesn't kill us.. Starvation will
LOTTIE: I'm good at finding food .. (Lottie answers positively)
MAY: You mean your good at stealing it.... little thief.. (she mutters)
JAY: We're not going to starve.. We'll reach dry land soon.. we can search then.. Make food our first priority.
SLADE: (Not liking the way Jay seems to be taking charge) .. Nobody orders me around.. I'll search for shelter
EBONY: But what do we do for now?
MAY: There's beds on the lower deck.. but it's cramped and there's only two.. the kids could share one and someone could have the other.. the rest of us will have to make do with the floor and a blanket
EBONY: (Sarcastically).. Oh how cosy.. we'll be in paradise on this floating piece of junk
MAY: Look .. don't blame me okay? ... This was the best I could do to save you all
SALENE: (Agreeing).. The least you could do is be grateful.. May did her best
EBONY: Well she didn't do good enough
MAY: (Sighing).. Look if you don't like it Ebony.. you can always jump out and swim.. See how long you last then
EBONY: You better watch your mouth
MAY: Or what?
LEX: (Standing between the two girls).. Hey.. Leave it out.. Both of you
AMBER: (Agreeing with Lex) .. We have more pressing issues to attend to.. without the both of you making even more problems
GEL: Hey Lex..
(Lex turns to face Gel and waits for her to speak)
GEL: (Fluttering her eyelashes).. I'm cold...
(Gel said hinting that she wanted him to put his arm around her)
LEX: It's warmer in the cabin..
(Gel pulls a face.. clearly upset at Lex's lack of interest in her.... Gel inches closer to Lex .. she rests her head on his shoulder)
GEL: I thought you could keep me warm
LEX: What can I do that one of the fleece blankets can't?
(Gel stands up disappointed and heads to the lower deck.... Meanwhile Ebony seems to have started yet another fight.. this time with Ruby)
EBONY: Why didn't you tell me you were faking about the baby?
RUBY: I didn't fake anything.. (she replies matter of factly) .. The test was negative okay..
EBONY: I don't buy that.. You knew there was no baby.. but you lied about it to try and keep your hold on Slade.. Admit it .. (she orders)
RUBY: (Snapping at Ebony's accusations).. Whether I was pregnant or not.. is NONE of your business Ebony
EBONY: Well I'm making it my business.... Slade is 'MY' man.. and it'll be in your best interests to stay away from him..
RUBY: Is that a threat?
EBONY: No... It's a promise
(Ebony leaves Ruby to feel sorry for herself)

(As Gel enters the lower cabin it was dark but the parts she could see were quite an eyesore to look at.. Definatley not to Gel's taste at all.. She is joined by Sammy)

SAMMY: What are you doing down here?
GEL: It's too cold up top... And the wind has messed my hair ..
(she says attempting to sort out the stray strands of hair that had been blown out of place)
SAMMY: I think it still looks great
GEL: Well you know.. (she replied pouting) .. I always look great.

(At the top of the boat Jack and Ellie are speaking of the past)
ELLIE: It's sad isn't it?
JACK: What?
ELLIE: Leaving the mall? .. It was your home before the rest of us.. How come you don't feel upset like most of us?
JACK: I'm not a very emotional person I guess..
ELLIE: Not emotional?
JACK: Well.. Okay.. Maybe I am.. But I'm optimistic..
ELLIE: ..I miss the mall.... (she pauses before managing a tiny smile).. Remember the first time we wrote the Amulet together? ..
JACK: (Nods and smiles) .. Like it was yesterday
ELLIE: We can't do that out here?.. We can't do ANYTHING out here .. We won't be living... Just existing
JACK: There's a difference?
ELLIE: Of course.. Living is enjoying life Jack... Existing is just being here.. doing nothing..
SALENE: Hey guys.. there's more to life that what your expecting...(sighs).. when we get off this boat.. (pauses).. Well who knows what we'll find?
