"This is the perfect place, Sally," I said looking at a brochure from LoveBirds Campsite. Sally put the laundry basket down and came over to look at the brochure. We have been going out for over a year, I think it's the right time to propose. We already live together! "Yeah, looks nice," she said going back to the laundry. "But perfect for what?" I gulped. "Um, for a getaway. You've been working so hard, that you deserve some time off with me," I said. Whew. "I see what your doing," she said with a smirk. Uh oh. "Your planning this trip on your week of laundry," she said. I laughed. Sally smiled and folded the clothes. I kissed her on the cheek and ran upstairs to pack my suitcase. I got everything I needed into a small suitcase I could carry on the plane. First, we have to fly to Florida, and then take a bus to the campsite. Sally came upstairs and crawled under her bed to get her suitcase. It was huge. I watched her pack a lot of stuff. "When are we going?" she asked. "Well, I already called yesterday, and we are going tomorrow at ten a.m." I said. She hugged me. I yawned. I looked at the clock. 11:30. I crawled in my bed and turned off the lamp. "Goodnight Sal," I said. "Night" Sally said turning off her lamp.

That morning at 6, I choked down Sally's mango and orange juice. We were out of my orange juice, so I drank Sally's. We put our Great Dane in her cage and drove to my mother's house. "Thanks for watching Dana Mom," I said putting her cage down. "It's no problem at all. I love Dana." Correction, she loves all animals. If she had a poisonous frog, she'd give it cute names and make kissy noises. Dana gave my mom about 40 licks before she pushed Dana away. Mom laughed. "Mom, this is Sally," I said as Sally came in lugging all of Dana's toys. She dropped them and pushed her hair out of her face. "Hello dear, nice to meet you," my mom said shaking Sally's hand. "Nice to meet you too, Mrs.Ward," she said smiling. I love Sally's beaver teeth. They're cute. I hugged my mom and drove to the airport. I was going to miss Dana, but this is all worth it. When it was Sally's turn to drive, she said, " I brought you something that you forgot." Did I pack my toothbrush? My hair gel? She held up my one-eyed teddybear, driving with one hand. "Mr.Pirate?" I said taking him from her. "I haven't seen him in months!" "I know how much he means to you, and if we went on a week long trip without him, I knew you'd miss him." Sally is the best. "Thanks," I said smiling. I was still a kid at heart.

We arrived at the airport at 9:30. We got our bags checked, got some food, and waited for our plane. "Want some coffee from McDonalds?" I asked. She shook her head. Just then, our plane got called. "Sally wake up, our plane's here," I said shaking her. She yawned. Sometimes, Sally sleeps if she has to wait for a long time. We walked over to the woman and gave her our tickets. We walked on the plane and sat down. This is awesome! Sally took out her fashion magazines right away, getting totally engrossed in them. I took out my book, and started reading. By the time the plane was flying up, Sally was asleep, covered in her magazines. She looked so cute sleeping, I love her so much. I could spend hours just watching her sleep. I held her hand and kept reading my book. Two hours, I can kill two hours with a good book if I wanted to.

I opened my eyes. Sally was shaking me. "Hurry up Jakey! Everyone's getting off!" She said getting our suitcases. I guess I fell asleep. We walked off the plane holding hands. We got our bags from the bag drop-off thingy. It had all of our lotion, and my medication. I'm allergic to pollen, so I gotta take it since there's a lot of flowers here. We got on the bus to the LoveBirds Campsite. "I'm so excited!" Sally said, literally jumping in her seat. A woman with a brown apron came around with a huge tray. "Coffee? It's decaf," she said. I nodded. I handed Sally a cup. When we got to the campsite, we saw trees, lakes, cabins, and everything you'd find at a campsite. I grabbed a map of the place. A man in a green polo shirt had a clipboard. We walked up to him. "Sally and Jake," I said. He looked at his clipboard. "Cabin 6H," he said, not looking up. We followed the map to cabin 6H. It was a beautiful cabin, two beds, a bathroom, and a table with two chairs in front of a huge glass window. I set my bag down on the bed on the left of the cabin. Sally took the bed on the right. We unpacked and got in our bathing suits. Sally and I walked to the lake. I took out the map. I saw a little island. "Hey Sally, look at this cute little island! I think we should go there!" Sally looked at the little island and shrugged. "When?" "Now?" She rolled her eyes. "Jake, we just got here, lets look around," she said standing up. "Okay," I said a little disappointed. We walked all around the campsite. When we finished exploring, it was time for bed. We walked back to our cabin hand-in-hand. We got our pajamas on, kissed goodnight, and went to bed. I woke up at 1:00 in the morning. I couldn't sleep. I really wanted to go to that island. It'll be the perfect place for a proposal. I looked out the window and saw a woman running to her cabin. She looked scared. I closed the curtains and sat down on my bed. I kept looking at the map. Sally usually wakes up at this time to use the restroom. She saw me on my bed looking at the map. She yawned and walked over. "Baby, go to bed, we can go there tomorrow," she said walking to the bathroom. She's right, but I can't get that lady out of my head. I thought she came with a husband? Or maybe she was running to him. Either way, she was still scared.

The next day, Sally let me sleep in. We missed breakfast, so Sally got room service instead. "Hey sleepyhead," she said as I sat down at the table. "Morning Sunshine," I said eating my pancakes. Sally was already dressed and ready for Teardrop Island. That's what the map said. I quickly finished my breakfast and got dressed. We walked to the lake. We saw a man in a boat. There was a sign in his boat. It said 'Rides to any island just one dollar'. "One ride to Teardrop Island please," I said handing him a dollar. "Okay, whatever you say," he said sarcastically. Me and Sally stepped in the boat, and the man rowed all the way to the island. "Thanks!" I said as he rowed away. I noticed boats that were connected to a track at the bottom of the lake. That's probably how you get back. We walked around Teardrop Island. It was beautiful. Sally splashed in the waterfall with me. It's like we were kids again. "Lets come here for lunch!" she said enthusiastically. I smiled. This is the place I've been waiting for. Maybe I'll propose today, or maybe tomorrow! Tomorrow probably, since we just got here yesterday. We went back on the boats, and walked around some more. By the time we were done walking around, it was time for lunch. Sally packed our lunch. "Ready?" I asked excitedly. "This is gonna be awesome!" Sally said dancing around our cabin. I hugged her, and got my wallet. We walked with our picnic basket, hand-in-hand, to the docks. I payed the man, and he rowed us to the island. I set down our picnic blanket and our basket. I dumped some ice cold water down my neck. The ice felt really good since my neck was as wet as the waterfall. Sally looked around like something was coming for her. "You okay Sal?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded quickly. "Maybe we should go," I said packing our stuff. "I feel light headed," Sally said laying down. I carried her back to our cabin so she could sleep. I spent the whole rest of the day watching her dream. I could tell she was dreaming because she smiled every few times. I pushed her wavy red hair off her face. It was 10, so I got my pajamas on. The look on Sally's face was just like the one on the woman I saw. Maybe Sally saw whatever it was too. I looked out the window. Maybe this wasn't the perfect place for a proposal. I woke Sally up. "Sally," I whispered. "What is it Jakey?" she asked looking at me, tired. "I need to go to Teardrop Island." "No, Jake. There's something out there that's gonna kill you." Sally grabbed my arm. "I have to find out what you saw." I said. "I love you. Be safe," Sally said. I kissed her, "Love you too." She pulled the covers over her head, in a scared way. I got on my slippers and headed toward the docks. The man wasn't there, instead a sign. The sign said, 'Closed'. I got in the boat and rowed to Teardrop Island. I put a one dollar bill in the boat. I got off at Teardrop Island. The row boat would be my transportation back to LoveBirds Campsite. The air was warm, the flowers and trees were as beautiful as ever. What could possibly be trying to kill me? Everything froze. The waterfall turned into ice. Actually, the whole lake did. The island rumbled. I fell down. "How in hell could there be ice in summer?" I said. A bony fist ripped through the ice. An old woman came out. When she breathed, hail shot out. "Holy shit!" I said. I stumbled, trying to run away. The old woman jumped at me. I was covered in
