Summary: Their plane crashes onto an island. A helicopter comes and rescues some, but it can't take everyone. Who says behind? Troy and Gabriella. But, they don't like each other. How will they cope when the nights are deathly cold? Troyella. AU.

For How Long?

"Passengers, please remain calm. There is a little turbulence, but it should over shortly. Thank you," said a voice over the intercom.

What the passengers didn't know, it wasn't just a little turbulence. Something was wrong with the engines, and the plane was slowly descending out of the sky.

Even though there weren't many passengers on the plane – twenty one to be exact – the noise was deafening; Children clutching their blankets and crying desperately trying to get to their mothers. Mothers were screaming for their children to get into their seats and do up their seat belts. And fathers who were shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to get the crew of the plane to calm things down.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, the crew 'fixed' the problem, and were trying to assure the families that everything was fine. However, the problem was not fixed and they knew that the plane was still slowly sinking through the clouds and towards the dangerous ocean below.

"Why do I see the ocean down there?" a little boy said.

His father looked out of the window and then back at his son, "I don't know, Tom. Why don't you ask one of the crew?"

"Okay. Excuse me, mister? Can you tell me why I can see the ocean out of the window?" Tom asked politely.

"Uh – I don't know. Let me ask the captain, I'll be back in a minute."

He rushed off. Truth was, he did know why the little boy could see the ocean. There was something wrong with the engines, and they were slowly slipping out of the sky.

They were probably all going to die and the captain decided not to tell them, just so that the last few minutes of there life were at peace. They were hoping to spot an island and attempt to land on that. But, it was unlikely. They were in the middle of the ocean. The chances of landing at just the right time on a island were close to nothing. But, maybe God was on there side just a bit today.

And he was. As soon as the crewman arrived at the cockpit, the captain turned to him and said, "We've found an island. The pilot is trying to land us now. It will be a bumpy ride, but hopefully, we'll make it."

They were 100 meters from the island when the engines stopped working completely. And then they went down.

AN: Hey guys. So, this is my new story. Should I continue it? I know it's short, but I needed to get them to crash and then the chapters will (hopefully) be longer. I have basically the whole story planned, so if you guys want me to write it, I will. Thanxx.
