It was late morning – the sun was beating down onto the soft, abysmal sand. Goggles' laid near the shore. His eyes slightly opened, as he felt his lower legs and feet get wet from the light waves forming on the shoreline. The chilling hint of the water woke Goggles up completely, as he used his arms to sit himself up.

"Huh?" Goggles turned his head, looking over at the rainforest ahead of him. He turned around, staring out into the endless sea. Goggles took a minute before realizing what happened. The cruise... the sleepwalking... him holding on for dear life on that tube as the waves swept him and Rider away. Before he knew it, the stranded squid could feel the tears build up in his eyes as he thought of his best friends being trapped out there.

"Rider..." He whispered to himself. "He was hanging on to the tube with me. He's gotta be around here somewhere..." Goggles voice became full. He stood up and began walking along the shoreline. His walking turned into steady running. "Rider!!!" He called out. "Where are you??" His breathe started to weaken the more he yelled. The air felt dry as the sun felt like it gained brightness. Goggles began to sweat; he saw a faint shadow appeared far away; it was walking toward Goggles. He heard his name being called back.

"Goggles!"

Goggles squinted his eyes to make out who it was. "RIDER!!!" Goggles squealed. He began running to Rider, opening his arms as he leaped onto the green squid.

"Uhg, idiot! Get off of me!"

"Rider!!! I missed you so much!!" Goggles said planting multiple kisses on his boyfriends' cheek. At this point Rider couldn't complain. 

"Okay, so. Where are we exactly?" Rider asked as Goggles continued to kiss him.

"I'm not sure." Goggles paused. "but WAIT! What about-"

"Specs, Gloves and Prince..." Rider finished Goggles' sentence. "They must have stayed on the cruise ship."

"Should we try to call them?"

"Yeah." Rider pulled out his phone from his soaking wet pocket. He wiped the screen off with Goggles' shirt.

"Your phone still works?" Goggles asked. "Even when its wet?"

"It should. It should work when it's wet."" Rider said as his phone turned on. 

"To be fair, I work when I'm wet too." Goggles smirked.

"How can a guy get wet?" 

"To think you of all people would know." Goggles said. 

Rider tried calling Gloves. "Damn it, no service."

"You've gotta point it up to the sky." Goggles said, grabbing Rider's phone from his hand and standing up, waving the phone up in the air. "STUPID PHONE! GET SIGNAL!!"

"Goggles! Calm down." Rider spoke. "There's no way we're getting signal on a desert island."

"Desert... Island?" Goggles questioned. Rider sighed.

"Yes. A desert island."

"So, there's DESSERTS HERE!?" Goggles jumped up in the air. "WOO! We scored! Dessert-island here we come!" Goggles began walking toward the trees. "I wonder if those trees are made of gummy."

"Goggles!" Rider grabbed Goggles by his sleeve. He put his hands firmly on the treat-loving boy. "There's no dessert." It's a DESERT island. DES-ERT. It means we're stranded."

"W-what? Stranded?" Goggles asked. "Rider, we can't be stranded."

"Well we are. So. We're going to have to seek for help." Rider said, taking Goggles' hand. "Come on, let's go look around."
