In hindsight, Kensi would have realized her question sounded crazy. After all, she was the only one thinking about the tree. Surely the only person who made it their sole mission to get to it. When she hit the water, that tree had became the single most important thing in the world to her. Nothing else had mattered in the water but that tree. The tree had kept her alive. Kensi had survived because of the tree. When Aaron told her she had reached the tree, she smiled.<br/><br/>"Oh, good."<br/><br/>Kensi sounded relieved and she was. The first part of her mission was accomplished. She had gotten to the tree, which meant she had reached the land. From there, she'd have to find a home. That might be a little harder. 'One thing at a time, Kens,' she told herself. She had reached the tree, the rest would come after that. At least she wasn't totally alone.<br/><br/>"Thanks."<br/><br/>She told Aaron, reaching for his hand to sit up. Being with another person, brought Kensi back into the world and all the sounds that came with it. When she had been trying to escape the plane and reach the sand, Kensi had blocked out everything else. The only thing that mattered to her was the tree and she could ignore the rest of the world. Now, though, reality was coming back and she realized how pretty damn lucky she was. People were yelling for loved ones, for God to come. God couldn't save them.<br/><br/>When the explosion hit, Kensi turned her head towards it and gasped.<br/><br/>"Oh, my God."<br/><br/>Kensi said, she wished she hadn't looked. Thank God for the tree, if she hadn't seen it and been focused on it, she'd be dead. It made her sick to her stomach. The airplane was destroyed and people were dead...Kensi knew it wasn't just luggage flying through the air.<br/><br/>Why the hell hadn't she just told her family she couldn'tmake Crystal's wedding? If she had, she'd be home. Safe and sound with Eric. Not here, not on some tree filled island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
