Log 6: Sammy

Sammy: (to camera) Um...hey, everyone, Sammy here. So, we're out now, scouting for food. Any other way off the island...our main concern is, as Darius said, surviving to get home. I feel really bad that I lied to everyone, but I'm hoping that I can make up for it. If I can find seeds and potting soil, I can grow food for us and maybe take some of the pressure off. 

(As Darius films, Sammy looks within her element at the agricultural store. It didn't surprise Darius or Brooklynn one bit, she did come from a ranch. Thankfully, the seed packets were just where she thought they'd be. She checked the back, just to be sure and found an overabundance of packets and "freshly-sifted volcano soil". They walked out with a haul of an impressive amount of each of the items they needed, including a watering can. With the help of Bumpy, who'd grown fond of Sammy, they carted it back to one of the few and far in-between dinosaur-free, fenced in areas located not far from their camp. Also, this space was their back-up plan in case things went south. Sammy began putting soil in pots, then seeds and everything else she needed. It was after dusk by the time she finished, giving everything a water and wiping her brow.)

Darius: (behind camera) Sammy, I kept telling you that we'd help!

Sammy: (to camera) I know, Darius, but it doesn't matter now, it's done, now all we gotta do is wait. I'll come back and care for 'em everyday--!

Brooklynn: Not alone. (approaching her, on camera) Sammy...(holds her shoulder, reassuringly) stop it! You don't have to prove yourself anymore. We know you just did it for your family.

Sammy: (on camera) I know, but I lied to you all. I made you upset, Yaz, too...

Brooklynn: (on camera) Yaz doesn't hold it against you, at least, she better not. Besides, even if one of us does come to help you with the garden, none of us should go anywhere on this island alone. 

Darius: (behind camera) That's right. We may be alone, but we're alone together.

[A/N: Sorry, I just totally thought of that Steven Universe episode as soon as I wrote that. No relation to this fanfiction. Any similar thoughts? Right back to it...]

Sammy: (on camera) Thanks, guys. (smiles; hugs them)

Darius: (after they separate; behind camera) So, how long until the harvest? I may know things about dinosaurs, but--!

Brooklynn: (interrupts him; on camera) Neither of us know anything about any of this stuff. Sorry, Darius.

Sammy: (on camera) Well, thanks to Ben's meticulous time-keeping, we know that we're in April, so planting season's started. As far as harvest, we'll only have to scavenge for...four--five months tops, before we get yield. At least, with what we found. For some reason, the summer crops were out of stock, so, sadly, I'll have to wait--and work--until fall before we get the food from these. (nods towards pots of plants) 

Darius: (under breath; behind camera) You mean we.

[A/N: I don't actually know this.]

(They head back to camp and Sammy takes a cold shower. Avoiding eye contact, visibly--on camera--with Yaz, for the rest of the evening after. Darius had handed the camera off to Brooklynn and cast a long glare at the female Alpha, before joining Sammy in the Omega bunk. One checks on Ben before bed.)

[A/N: Changed from 'girls' bunk' in the actual show for obvious reasons.]
