As spur of bad luck. That's what it was, and that was exactly what went through Juanitta Jone's head the minute she felt the plane plummet from the sky.
Was it fate, that tore this particular plane to crash? Something that was telling Juanitta to stop while she was ahead? That this wasn't going to work out?
'You didn't have to tell me in such a rude way! There ARE people on this plane after all.' Juanitta said to no one, as she threw off her seatbelt and grabbed a life support system. Oxygen masks threw themselves from the roof, dangling unhelpfully as people scattered the cabin in a fright. Juanitta rolled her eyes at the sight of them. Only something to choke on, she thought, as the plane gave a wild lurch as it hit the water.
To make things even better, today was also the day she had decided to wear her sundress. Perfect for being stranded wearing. Juanitta would have much preferred shorts than this. But no time to cry now, while her life was at stake. Yet, still, she was sort of angry at the fact she had lost a one in a lifetime chance for a role that would make her name dance across the big screen, even though she could get other roles, if she survived, that is.
The water was surprisingly warm, as Juanitta bounded off the plane, dropping her support system on the way. She had to make due with floating now, though that wasn't going to last forever. Sooner or later, everyone will need to get to land so as not to drown themselves. And sure enough, off in the distance, Juanitta could spot a small island.
Hoping it was swimming distance away, she kicked off her heels, knowing they'd be useless in a time like this - even more now that she had to swim - and made her way to the only hope of survival that she had.
I would cross a thousand miles for you. I would climb mountains and swim oceans just to be with you. And if you cried, I would be there to make things better. But if I said I love you, would you laugh and turn your back on me? Would you take advantage of my love then break my heart when you were finished? Or would you hold me in your arms and say Ditto?
