Chapter #4Life's a Beach by: Unknown "We're at the beach!" A young woman shouted, her head fully out the window of a jeep that had seen better days. Wind streaked back her blond-then-black hair, revealing curved ears. The girl had a grin wider than the horizon. Then, a small black bug flew straight into her gaping maw, causing her to hack and cough.
"Mary, would you get back in here!" another girl asked tiredly, yanking at the thick belt keeping a pair of khaki shorts around the moemon's nearly nonexistant waist. Mary plopped back into her seat, sending her bosom jiggling in the guitar-emblazoned belly shirt she wore. The girl who had yanked her into the vehicle took a moment to rub her brow, then put the hand back on the wheel. Keslie was usually a patient woman, in fact she was known for it, but she was worried that Mary would have her head taken off by the next road sign they passed. Her eyes looked almost red, and gave Mary an annoyed flash.
Did it have to be the beach...?" a girl in the back mumbled. She seemed to be hiding her face in her hair, which formed a deep black mane around her, only a few shades darker than her skin. Despite the heat, and relatively light (i.e. revealing) clothing the rest of the group was wearing, this girl wore a light blue sweater that draped over her frame. The girl shifted, trying to get the fourth passenger off of her. A slightly taller, definitely heavier moemon with pixie brown hair and a patchwork set of clothes rested against her, sound asleep.
"Harley." the dark girl whispered, prodding the napper. It did nothing, just as it hadn't the last dozen times.
"Bridgette, I know it's not your favorite, but it was Mary's turn to decide our vacation spot. Besides, you might enjoy it if you let yourself."
"Park there, park there!" Mary said, bouncing on her seat and shooting a finger across Keslie's line of sight. Keslie sighed and beared right. Soon enough they were parked right at the edge of a sandy expanse that went on lengthwise as far as they could follow. It was a winding coast, with plenty of inlets and shallow water. It was no surprise that it was a busy beach. Not packed, but tons of other moemons, many college age or thereabouts, went about on the sand or dipped their feet in the water.
"We can check out our bungalow later." Keslie rationalized allowed. "Mary, get back here!" she had to shout, as the Raichu moemon was already a dozen strides into the sand. She turned around like a child getting caught stealing sweets.
"Your bathing suit?" Keslie asked, picking up a duffelbag from the back. Mary grinned sheepishly.
"Thanks Keslie. You gonna join me?"
Keslie glanced back. Bridgette had gotten out of the vehicle, but it looked like only enough so that Harley wouldn't be sleeping on her anymore. Keslie gave Mary an apologetic smile.
"I'll catch up. Once we're all ready."
"Kay." Mary said, already half turned away. Keslie walked over to Bridgette and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Why don't we go check out the boardwalk? The beach isn't going anywhere." she said. Bridgette nodded. She had managed to blush red through her dark complexion looking at the scantily clad beachgoers. There was a decent line of shops and stands only a few paces away. No one really thought twice about leaving Harley behind. This happened enough that they knew the Abra moemon would somehow find them without any trouble.  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
