"ARRGH!" Jess's screams of excitement had quickly turned to those of horror as she hung upside down as Hannah tried to get used to which way up the small plane should go.
"ALRIGHT, JESS?" Hannah yelled from the front, completely unaware of any problem.
"TURN IT AROUND!"
"WE ARE GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION?" Hannah called back.
"NO! WE'RE UPSIDE DOWN!"
"OH! I SEE!" Hannah flipped the plane back over and got hit on the head by a bird. She rearranged her goggles and pulled out a few feathers that had got caught in the straps.
"We're going to di-ie…" Jess murmured to herself, covering her own goggles with her hands.
"Watch out!" Hannah complained, narrowly avoiding a Boeing 747.
Jess grabbed a scrap of paper from her pocket and a pen and started plotting her will.
They flew along rather wobbily and wonkily for a few more minutes before the plane suddenly made a 'putt'ing noise.
"HANNAH?"
"YES, MY LITTLE CO-PILOT?"
"WHAT'S THAT NOISE?!"
"WHAT NOISE?!"
The plane 'putt'ed again.
"THAT NOISE!"
Hannah looked at the dials on the dashboard.
"AH."
"WHAT?" Jess asked, apprehensively.
"WE…WE'RE OUT OF FUEL!"
Jess was ominously silent.
"J? I SAID: WE'RE OUT OF FUEL!"
"I KNOW!" Jess panicked.
"WELL, WHAT DO I DO?" Hannah asked.
"HOW THE BLOODY HELL SHOULD I KNOW?" Jess asked, signing her will.
"I THINK I'LL TRY TO BRING HER DOWN!" Hannah said, unable to think of any other course of action.
Jess looked down out of the plane to see a huge blue expanse of sea below them.
"NOOOOOOO!" Jess's protests faded as the plane suddenly dropped in altitude.
"EASY DOES IT!!" Hannah said as the plane glided down 500 metres a second.
"THE SEA!!" Jess tried to explain to Hannah, but they continued to plummet.
Hannah tried to steer the plane towards a spot in the ocean and prayed. The plane fell to the Earth's surface and bounced a few times.
Steam rose from the engine and the plane sat happily for five minutes until Jess and Hannah came to.
Jess lifted her head and shakily removed her goggles. She blinked in amazement as she looked around at the foliage surrounding her.
"Hannah?" She said croakily, unbelting herself and leaning forward to poke her pilot.
"Wha? Hannah swung around quickly then immediately regretted it. "Ooh my head…" She rubbed a bump on top of it.
"You managed to land us on an ISLAND!!" Jess exclaimed ecstatically. "IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN!!" She bounced up and down.
"Uh…yeah." Hannah looked around. "I…I don't see any fuel pumps…"
"What?" Jess looked around too to see some palm trees and a rock. "Oh, CHRIST."
"Do you think there's a post office here?" Hannah asked, nervously.
"That sort of thing doesn't happen twice in a life time!" Jess said, miserably, sitting down on the sand.
"Well…maybe I could make some sort of fuel out of ground-up coconuts and sand…" Hannah began.
"Give it up, Hannah." Jess said, sulkily. "We're stuck here for all eternity. We're going to DIE HERE!"
"You've got to be more positive." Hannah scolded. "Now, c'mon – let's explore!" She bounded off into the trees followed by a very slow and plodding Jess.

"Keep up!" Hannah called back through the branches as they stumbled through the trees.
"Leave me alone. I'm hoping a poisonous snake might bite me so I die NOW, rather than STARVING to death slowly."
"Stop whinging!" Hannah burst through some trees and gasped. "Woah."
There in front of them lay a gigantic waterfall with a huge clear pool at the foot of it. Colourful birds swooped around it and crisp green foliage leapt out from all angles.
"Cor that's something." Said Jess bursting out from behind Hannah.
"Stopped wanting to get bitten by a poisonous snake and DIE yet?!" Hannah asked, amused.
"Maybe." Jess ran off to the water's edge and knelt down, washing her face.
"'Allo!!"
The cockney London-accented voice made Jess and Hannah both jump as it broke the tranquil silence.
"Who said that?" Hannah looked around.
"'Allo!!" Came the voice again, in exactly the same way.
"Who's that?!" Jess repeated, scared. "If you've come for my glasses you can have them!"
"'Allo!!" The voice sounded for the third time, this time giving its whereabouts away. There was a low branch to Jess and Hannah's right on which sat a bright multi-coloured parrot who was grinning at them, beak open.
Jess got up and walked over to it. "Did you say that?"
There was a small silence, then the bird replied: "'Allo!!"
"Yes, HELLO." Hannah answered it, rather fed up. (Not that she had been hoping that the voice belonged to some hunky tribal man…no.)
