One sunny day on the island of ……… a huge downpour started. This caused a flight delay at the International airport of ………. Stacey was supposed to be coming in today but her flight will be delayed. Stacey was on a mission but she didn’t know it yet. Her mission was to find her long lost brother on this island who only had contact with her godmother. This godmother raised this child because he was lost on the island at a very young age and was separated from her parents. Stacey was not yet born but she will soon meet her long lost brother ….. she just doesn’t know it yet. She is completely clueless. She thinks shes going on a springbreak trip but her godmother now thinks that it is time for them to meet. When Stacey finally gets to the island she goes directly to the hotel where, her and her friends reserved a suite. She is extremetly stressed out and tired and this will finally be a time where she can relax and have fun. This is what she thinks. That is actually not the reality of the situation. The first thing the girls do is unpack all of there belongings into the drawers and closets. They then go down to get something to eat. They first start out by trying tropical drinks. They are all settled, and they go to the pool. They have fun and romp around the island. They do everything that you can imaging they visit so many places in there first couple hours and there is so much exploring to do in the Cayman Islands. In one of the places she went, a local shell shop, she meets a very interesting person, that seems to have some connection to her and they seem to know Stacey somehow but no one else. They didn’t know her to the extent of knowing her name but they knew enough. Essentially why she was here on the island which Stacey didn’t completely know herself. This lady’s name was Calypso. She was a magical person only in the way that she knew so much about Stacey. Later on in the day Stacey gets a phone call from her mom and dad back in Boston, and they have some very exciting news to share with her. It is news that is exciting for them but will be very shocking to Stacey. This is something that they have been waiting 19 years to divulge. They wanted to tell her about her older brother Samuel that has been found he was left on the island at the age of two with the now older lady Calypso. They have just recently found out that Sammy is alive and has been living on the island this whole time he has had no contact with the people outside of the island, but Calp does. She wasn’t able to return the child because she is unable to leave the island. The parents are also not able to come back on the island, because of a terrible occurrence some 20 years ago. The only family member allowed back on the island is Stacey, because no one knows she has any connections or blood lines to the Hansen family. The secret mission of the family is to bring Samuel back to Boston. Staceys mom and dad probably should have told her about this secret mission before she left the state.but they decided to wait because they were scared of Staceys reaction and if she was already there then there is nothing she can really do about it. She will have to bring him home. The phone call is just telling Stacey about her long lost brother Samuel, but she has to go to the magical lady calypso to actually find out how to get him safely off of the island. This was a private phone call and Stacey wasn’t sure whether she should tell her friends or not. She didn’t want to rruin there spring break. But Stacey’s friends actually knew what was going on and they came to the island to support her. They all let Stacey know that they were here for her and anything that she needed they were there to help her. The next day they all went back to Calypso and had the conversation with her. She told her everything that she needed to do. The next step was to meet Samuel. Samuel hasn’t had much interaction with outside people other than Calp and the other people on the island. But once he found out that he had a sibling that he had never met before he was excited and wanted to meet her. They met and everything went well Samuel was brought back to the states and there was a short adjustment period but everything worked out okay and they all lived happily ever after . The end.
