The next morning was full of sunshine and no clouds. I woke up before Rachel did and, without bothering to put my clothes back on, stood at the mouth of the cave that was our "home". I surveyed what I could see and noticed that there were fruit trees on the island so I knew we wouldn't starve. The only thing I needed to figure out was how to fish as I never really learned how to. I also realized that today would have been the Wedding Rehearsal and dinner. It was going to be a tough day but I know that we will persevere.
I turned around and saw my sister starting to stir. Looking at her gorgeous body made me hard all over again but this time, I couldn't act on it as there were important things to do. I sighed at that thought and went back to the bed and got my clothes on.
When I was fully clothed, I went back down to the plane to see if there was anything I could do to either salvage parts or fix anything. One look told me fixing things was out of the question so I looked for salvage. I went back to where the emergency supplies were kept and found another flashlight and batteries. There was also another emergency blanket so now we can lay on one and have the other covering both of us. I also remembered about the potable water and additional food supplies.
"How did I miss this?" I muttered to myself as I also found the water purification tablets and the first aid kit which will probably come in handy during our stay here on this island. That was the end of the supplies though.
I brought the rest of the supplies from the plane back to the cave. Rachel was up making a meal with some of the fruits from the nearby trees. She had on a summer dress that fell just below her waist. I smiled as she also had on a bikini top that tied around her neck I couldn't help but feel myself getting hard.
I dropped the rest of the emergency supplies off and sat down next to her. After we ate, we gathered up some wood and started up a fire down by the beach. We sat around the fire and stared at one another.
"Do you think we'll be rescued?" Rachel inquired as she ate some peaches.
"Probably," I replied. "It's just a matter of time before they narrow down where we went down. There's not that many islands between home and where we were going. The flight plan was pretty specific so I'm betting they'll retrace the route."
"What if they don't find us?"
"If they don't find us then we'll make do. We have plenty of food on this island. We do have water purification ability for a little bit at least. Luckily, there's ways to purify water even without the tablets. And we have one another and, as far as I am concerned at this point, that is enough for me. I love you and after last night, I'm glad we consummated that love together."
"I know and I'm glad we did as well. I just don't want our family to suffer for a long period of time."
"They're out looking for us and you know it. Dad's not going to rest till we're found."
"I know."
We sat there eating breakfast in silence for a bit longer. The pears really weren't that bad. That was when Rachel reminded me what today was supposed to be.
"David? Today was supposed to be the day of the wedding rehearsal followed by dinner. We've spent months planning this and now..."
"I know today was supposed to be the rehearsal and dinner sis. Relax. I'm sure your fiancé is out looking as well. You'll be back in his arms in no time and you two will have a wonderful life together." I replied. Deep down however, I did not like what I was saying. No doubt I meant what I said but we have gotten closer to one another than I ever thought possible.
She started to tear up. I put my arm around her and held her as she cried. There are a lot of emotions raging inside of me as well but I had to remain strong for my sister. She means the world to me and always did. I looked at her and said, "I'm going to go and try to catch some fish. We can cook the fish with the survival gear and, coupling it with some fruits; we can have a 'rehearsal' dinner right here. Unfortunately, there won't be candles or flowers but with it being a cloudless sky, we could do it under the stars."
She looked at me thoughtfully and nodded. "That does sound nice and very romantic. I do have the dress I was going to wear tonight. Then again, I have all of clothes for the next few days with me, including my wedding gown."
"I know sweetheart. Why don't you come with me? You can tan on the beach while I try to catch some fish."
"I think we should try to organize these supplies but I guess we could go down to the beach for a little bit. That way, we can continue to watch one another."
"Sweet!" With that, I got up to gather materials in an effort to fish for food. I used a wire from the plane as well as something that looked like a hook and attached it to a stick and we went down to the beach.
When we arrived down at the beach, Rachel spread out a towel onto the sand. She then took off her dress revealing her bikini. Not only did it tie up around her neck, the bottoms tied at the waist. It curved over her ass and fit nicely at her crotch. I couldn't help but stare as she stretched out onto the towel with her sunglasses on.
I casted my line into the ocean and just waited. Sooner or later, I knew I would catch something. I wanted dinner to be special and I am going to deliver that special meal. I felt a tug on the wire and I immediately attempted to bring in the catch. The fish I had at the end of my line was putting up quite a struggle. I managed to hang on to the line as we fought the old fight. Just when I thought I had him, he managed another effort to escape.
As I was trying to capture this fish, Rachel was laughing hysterically but she was rooting me on. "That's it David! Get it get it!"
After another couple of minutes, I managed to pull in the fish. It was a decent size fish and I couldn't have been more proud of myself. I looked over at Rachel and she was applauding. All I could do was smile. Rachel was going to have a special meal. I secured the fish and went back to see if I could catch a few more.
A couple of hours later, I caught four addition fish. With the five fish in tow, we headed back to camp. I put the day's catch down and smiled. "Well that was fun." I said.
"I could tell you were enjoying yourself Dave." Rachel said in return.
"I actually was. I never knew fishing could actually be so much fun. Maybe I will go back down later and do some more fishing."
"Not until we get this campsite somewhat organized. If we are going to be here for a bit, I at least want it to resemble a home."
"That we can do sweetheart. That we can do."
We began by organizing the main part of the cave. We moved the emergency blankets to the larger of the two secondary caves. The bags that we had with us were place in the other secondary cave. We sorted these out and thus we had a makeshift closet. The gown bag was re-hung on a rock face that could hold up the hanger. The bag with my tuxedo in it was also hung up near my suitcase. In all, it was not a bad arrangement.
In our "bedroom", we found holes that could handle small torches. I went out to find suitable material for torches. An hour later, I returned with the materials and we both sat down around the fire and fashioned the torches. When we had the torches done, we lit them and brought them into our cave. We put both of them up near the entrance to the bedroom so that the air will circulate and not kill us.
When that was completed, I looked over at Rachel and smiled. "This is starting to turn into a wonderful home sweetheart."
"Yes it is David." She replied. "I'm becoming satisfied with the arrangements."
"I'm glad. Things really are starting to come together."
"Yup."
"Wanna help prepare the fish?" I asked.
"No thank you. Why don't you go and prepare the fish while I get myself changed for dinner."
"Sounds like a lovely idea. When you are done, then I'll also change into something more suitable for dinner."
"That sounds fine Dave."
I walked out of the cave just as she walked into our "closet". I prepared the fish the best I could and started to cook them over the open flame that was our camp fire. I knew you had to watch fish carefully so that was what I was doing. I was on the third fish when I looked up and there stood Rachel, all dressed up for a party.
When I saw her, I completely forgot what I was doing. She had on a gorgeous silk blue dress that fell between her knees and her ankles. It had sequins along her bosom that shimmered in the fire light. She had on dangling diamond earrings as well as her pendant necklace. On her left hand, she had put on her engagement ring. She had taken it off not long after we crashed so that she would not lose it.
"I'm sorry my hair isn't in curls. I was planning on having curly hair but..."
"Don't worry about it sweetheart. You are perfect just the way you are."
In fact, she was better than perfect. That was when I realized I nearly forgot about the fish. I pulled the next fish out of the fire and started laughing. It was nearly burnt but that is life. Rachel came over and stopped me before I put the fourth fish over the fire.
"Why don't you go and get ready. I'll take over fish duty while you do so."
"I'll get changed yes but you aren't doing fish duty dressed like that."
She giggled at the statement which was a very good sign. At this moment, we would be having dinner with both families. Frankly, I never liked large family gatherings but certain exceptions would've been made.
"You are the man of the island. At least the other two fish are done cooking."
"Yes they are. So if you excuse me for a couple of minutes, I'm going to change into my dinner attire and join my date for the evening." She stuck her tongue out as I left.
I entered our closet and looked around. I nodded in satisfaction as I walked over to the suitcase the held my dinner attire and I pulled it out. It was a pair of grey slacks with a grey button down shirt. I also had my suit jacket and shoes. I got undressed and put on my socks, t-shirt, and pants first. I then proceeded to put on my button down shirt. Once I had the shirt on, I put on my tie and shoes. I threw on my suit coat and figured I looked good since there was no mirror to check.
I walked out of the closet and then the cave. There was Rachel sitting by the fire. She actually prepared the rest of the dinner since the fish were already cooked. We used some of the food from the plane and she adorned it with some of the local plants that we knew were edible. I smiled at the dinner plates.
"You know? I was attempting to make a special dinner for us but it looks like we both made it special."
She looked up and smiled at me. "It's only fair I do something. You caught the fish and prepared it. Not to mention cooking the fish so I figured I get some of the trimmings done. Like?"
"Very much so."
