Ooo, I like that!

It's so scandalous! We're like a soap opera!

Mel watched as nearly all of the men either entered or walked around the Black Rock. She looked around wondering where Ben and everyone else was.

Finally she saw them exit the trees and enter the clearing. She was glad the guy holding her wasn't paying much attention. She elbowed him hard in the stomach, turned around and stole his gun and knocked him out with it.

She pointed the gun at the man in charge.

"What the hell?" he roared and raised his own gun at her.

Mel looked past him to Ben and Ethan.

"I see you took your sweet time." she said to Ben.

"You look like you have things under control." Ben smirked.

Mel shrugged and looked at Ethan, "Hey babe, how is Zoe?" she asked.

Ethan smiled sadly and shook his head.

Mel moved closer to the Dharma leader, close enough to read that his name badge said, "G. Dutch."

"Well Dutch, you're going to have to pay for that."

"Mel, I hate to interrupt but we really don't have the time for revenge right now." Ben chimed.

"Fine Ben." Mel said rolling her eyes. "What do you want me to do?"

Dutch looked between them both, amazed that they were discussing their plans in front of him.

"I want you to shoot the ship." Ben said plainly.

"And I think you are insane." Mel replied. Setting off the dynamite in the ship would create a big enough exlposion to kill them all.

"What did you think we were coming here for? A scenic tour? Just do as I say and shoot the damn ship!" Ben ordered.

Mel looked at Ethan and sent him a questioning look.

"Trust him baby." Ethan said.

"Ben, if we all blow up I am going to hunt you down in Hell." Mel said as she aimed at the cargo hold of the ship.

"I'll be waiting." Ben said causually.

Mel closed her eyes and pulled the trigger three times fast. The next thing she knew she was being tackled to the ground by Ethan who pinned her down and sheilded her from the blast.

"You crazy woman." he yelled into her ear. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Mel just smiled and kissed him.

When they got up again all of the Dharma men were gone, the ship was gone as well. All that was left was a smouldering pile of ash.

Ben stood and brushed off his shirt. "I told you to trust me." he said to Mel.

Mel walked straight up to him and smacked him hard on his arm. "You are a psychopath." she said as she tried to hold back her smile.

Ben just looked at her like he knew exactly what she was thinking. Mel looked between Ben and Ethan. All at once they started laughing. Mel hugged Ben tightly before returning to Ethan.

"You know I trust you, but don't you ever do something like that again."

"Yes, yes, how many times have I heard that threat from you?" Ben teased. "We may not be out of the woods yet. Lets get back to the others."

Mel saw Sophie standing at the edge of the clearing. She looked livid.

"Umm, Ben, I don't think we're going to have to go anywhere." Ethan said as Sophie stormed up to them.

"Well actully that was mel." Ethan interupted and proudly hugged her from behind. "She safed us all"

Aww, how cute is that? Is wish Ethan would really do that! ;D

Ethan took Mel's hand and kissed it as they were walking. "You were brilliant out there."

"You have to stop acting like I did something heroic. I could have killed us all."

"But you didn't baby, why can't you see that? You were right, you have changed a lot since I left."

"You think so?" Mel asked looking up at him.

"I do. But I like the change. You're still my sweet, timid Mel I met so long ago. Well, maybe not so timid." He laughed. "But you're more now. You are a survivor, baby, and on this island that is what you have to be."

"I guess you had to learn that pretty quickly when you first came here, huh?" Mel said.

"I sure did. You could say my arrival was a trial by fire." he smiled.

"You'll have to tell me all about it one day."

"I will, and believe me when I say that." Ethan said stopping her.

"I do believe you Ethan."

"I want you to know that I'm not going to leave you ever again. When all this mess is over you, me and William are going to live here happily ever after."

Mel smiled at his sincereity, "This isn't a fairy tale Ethan, but thank you. I'd like nothing more."

Ethan bent down to peck her on the cheek. Then he turned back on saw Ben and Sophie behind them. They were still bickering.

"What do you think about them?" he asked.

"They're complicated. I hope, for Ben's sake that Sophie can get past what Ben and I had."

"I don't think it will be easy for her. I'm still having trouble with it myself."

"But you'll be okay right?"

"Of course. I'd do anything for you baby."

"You are amazing." Mel smiled.

"Did Jacob really ask you to kill Sophie?" Ethan asked seriously.

Mel looked back to Sophie. Her and Ben were still far enough away so that they couldn't hear her.

"He didn't ask me to kill her Ethan. He told me to kill her."

"Are you going to do it?"

"I don't know." Mel shook her head, "I'll have to wait and see if I can figure out why he wants her dead, then decide."

"What happened out there?" Jack asked.

"We got about twenty five, maybe thirty of them." Mel answered.

"What about here?" Ben wondered.

"About the same here. A few of them ran off towards the end." Jack nodded.

"Good." Ethan said. "We only came with a force of sixty five. I think we may be okay."

"That's great." Jack said as he noticed Hurley toalking to Luke. "Where is Zoe?"

Mel loooked down at the ground then back up at Jack, "She didn't make it."

"She's dead?" Jack asked not believeing it.

"Yes Jack." Ben told him.

"But she was pregnant."

"Good point." Ben said as he picked up his radio.

"Juliet?" he called.

"Yes Ben?" they heard her voice crackle over the radio.

"How are things?"

"The two men you talked about found their way into the hatch. I took care of them."

"Are the children alright?" Mel asked grabbing Ben's arm and speaking into the radio.

"Yes, all of the children are fine."

"Good." Ben said. "It should be safe to bring them home. I'll send someone to help you."

"No." Ethan said. "We'll go. We'd like to see William as soon as possible anyway."

"Alright. Juliet, Ethan and Mel are on their way. See to it that Zoe's children are ready for transport."

"Right Ben." Juliet answered before clicking off her radio.
