Tim and Austin shield their faces from the blowing sand as Chance sets his helicopter down onto the beach.

"Hey, Guys." He smiles as he climbs down.

A guy with long hair and a beard climbs down from the co-pilot seat. He was quite slim and much shorter than Chance. He was wearing a snapback, a tee shirt and jeans.

"Hey, Cuz. It's good to see you." Austin runs over grabbing Chance into a hug.

"So how ya been doing?" Chance asks.

"Great." Austin smiles.

"Austin, this is Avi, my boyfriend." Chance says taking the bearded man by the hand.

"Pleased to meet you." Avi smiles. "Chance has told me so much about you."

"I hope it was all good." Austin laughs as he shakes Avi's hand. "If it wasn't, it was all lies.

"How you doing, Tim?" Chance asks with a smile as he shakes Tim's hand.

"Couldn't be better." Tim smiles and then nods a hello to Avi.

"Avi, this is the man that stole my cousin's heart." Chance laughs. "Tim."

"Has Chance explained everything to you?" Tim asks as he shakes Avi's hand.

"Yeah." Avi nods. "My lips are sealed."

"Great." Tim smiles. "Well, welcome to my domain."

"Very beautiful, I must say." Avi smiles as he looks around.

"The rent is really cheap." Tim chuckles. "And the neighbors are really quiet."

"I can imagine." Avi laughs.

"So, Cuz. You have a shopping list for me?" Chance asks.

"Oh, boy. Does he." Tim chuckles, rolling his eyes.

"Only a few things." Austin laughs, pinching his lover's side.

"Okay? I'm not sure who to believe here." Chance smiles.

"Well, if you call totally furnishing the cave only a few things." Tim comments.

"Furnishing the cave?" Chance laughs. "Austin, I have a weight limit that I can fly with. I can't bring you a sectional and a King size bed with matching dressers."

"No." Austin laughs as he pulls the list out of his pocket. "It's all lightweight."

Chance chuckles and shakes his head as he looks over the list.

"How long do y'all plan on staying?" Austin asks as they head back to the cave.

"Well, we were hoping to stay a few days. Kinda like a small vacation." Chance says, slipping his arm around Avi's waist. "I mean, if that's alright."

"Sure." Tim shrugs. "We don't have company very often."

"We just don't get to get away a lot." Avi adds.

"So what do you do, Avi?" Austin asks.

"I'm a first-grade school teacher. I love it but it does get kind of wild." Avi laughs.

"I can imagine." Austin laughs as they enter the cave.

"Wow, this is pretty rock and roll." Avi smiles as he looks around the cave.

"Well, make yourself at home." Tim smiles.

"I'm going to run down and get our suitcases." Chance says as he gives Avi a quick kiss.

"I'll give you a hand." Tim says as he secretly pinches his lover's bottom before leaving.

"Chance told me all about what happened." Avi says as he and Austin sat down on the blanket. "Sounds like something that only Hollywood would come up with."

"Tell be about it." Austin laughs. "It is totally unbelievable. When my boat was torn apart by the storm, I literally thought I was going to die. But then I woke up here with the most gorgeous man I've ever laid eyes on. I never thought I would find the love of my life on a deserted island. So how did you meet Chance?"

"A class field trip, believe it or not." Avi chuckles. "We carried the first-grade classes to the airfield. And he showed us around. You might say I was quite taken by his charm."

"Chance is a good guy. We're cousins but we're more like brothers." Austin smiles.

"You think if Tim ever got the opportunity to leave this place, he would?" Avi asks.

"Naw, I don't think so. This has been his home for the past five years. He's made himself a home here. He's gotten used to being without certain things. The only things he was actually missing was companionship and his family. And now he has both." Austin grins.

"I know Chance has been on the phone with Mrs. Foust a few times making plans for a surprise visit." Avi smiles.

"Really? Man, that's awesome. Just make sure Chance knows when Tim's drop-off dates are. It would be a catastrophe if both helicopters show up at the same time." Austin says as he reaches for a pencil and some paper.

Tim has a calendar propped up on a rock jutting out of the cave wall. He has the drop-off dates marked. Austin quickly writes down the dates and hands it to Avi. Avi slips the paper into his pocket just as the other two men comes in with the luggage.

"Sure took y'all long enough." Austin laughs.

"My fault." Chance chuckles as he sits down the luggage. "I was enjoying the view."

"Well, I'm ready to go strolling on the beach." Avi smiles as he takes his boyfriend by the hand.

"I did promise you a vacation. Didn't I." Chance smiles, kissing his boyfriend softly.

"What better way to spend a vacation than on a paradise island." Tim laughs.
