The alarm clocked bleeped. 9:00, time to get up. Guren, as a morning person, jumped straight out of bed. Today he was dragging Toxsa to the beach because his sister said he needed some sun (and she sort of forced him to, but at least it was just the beach). Beni, of course also wanted to come. Why? He had no idea. She wasn't a sea shell or tanning sort of person, he knew that much. Guren walked to the bathroom and took a shower. He got out of the shower, dried off his hair, and wrapped the towel around his waist. He then went over to his drawer and pulled out a red shirt and bathing suit.
He sat on his bed and pulled on his clothes. He checked the clock in the corner, 9:34. He grabbed his phone and ran out the door. He started walking the block to get to Toxsa's house. He looked around and spotted Beni in her black Subaru 2013. She drove to a stop next to him.
"Get in." She said. "We have to make sure Toxsa stops playing video games." Guren grinned and sat in the passenger seat next to her.
"He really does need sun though. Have you seen how pale he is?!" Guren joked about their green haired friend.
"He is the palest of the pale." Beni shook her head and grinned a bit. Just then, they pulled up to Toxsa's house. Surprisingly, it wasn't green. It was a white townhouse. It did have a green door behind the glass storm door though. A window on the top floor was open. It was the window to Toxsa's room. Wakamei probably opened it when she was trying to get Toxsa some sun. Beni and Guren got out of the car.
"TOXSA!" Beni shouted through the open window. There was no response but a weird hissing noise.
"That boy." Guren shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips.
"We're going to have to get him." Beni was shaking her head too. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Wakamei answered the door.
"Toxsa? Who am I kidding of course you're here for him. I'll get him." Wakamei sighed exasperatedly. A bunch of banging was heard. Then at the door, there was Toxsa, dressed in his bathing suit and a shirt. He looked as if he hadn't slept for days and was running on purely coffee.
"Hey guys." He said tiredly.
"C'mon Toxsa. We're going to the beach." Guren smiled. Beni rolled her eyes at Guren being a, in her words, 'Goody-Goody Nice Guy'. She thought that he was too nice.
"But I don't want to-" Toxsa started
"Toxsa, shut up, and just get in the fucking car." Beni said in her murderous voice. Toxsa got in the car. Beni and Guren got back in the car, except this time Guren was in the back because Toxsa sat in shotgun. Beni started driving to the beach.
"Why did you want to come with us to the beach anyway?" Guren asked Beni cautiously, not wanting to reapeat the incident where he had made her upset. That glitter still wasn't completely out of his hair.
"I want to see a mermaid." She said nonchalantly as she kept her eyes on the road. Toxsa laughed.
"You know mermaids don't exist right?" she then slapped him in the face. "Mermaids exist. You've just never seen one." Guren wanted to tell her to keep her eyes on the road but did not want a handprint on his face that matched Toxsa's.
"You know, mermaids could exist. I've never seen one, I'm pretty sure Toxsa hasn't seen one, Beni I have no idea about you, but theoretically they could; we just haven't had proof." Guren tried to settle the argument. It didn't work.
"That means they don't exist!" Toxsa exclaimed braggingly. Beni rolled her eyes, probably deciding to ignore Toxsa for now. By then they had reached the beach.
"Alright!" Guren said excitedly. Beni parked her car at the edge of the sand. Guren got out of the car and walked into the sand. Toxsa was trying not to get out of the car so Beni had to pull him out of the seat.
Toxsa fell hard onto the pavement "Ow…" "That's what you get for not wanting to go outside." Guren laughed at their antics.
"C'mon guys." He started to run towards the water. "Last one there has to tan for 5 minutes instead of swimming!"
"Oh hell no." Beni started to run at the same time as Toxsa, if not faster. Guren of course got to the water first, with the head start he had. Toxsa was next, and Beni was last. Toxsa had started to gain on Beni and passed her during the middle of the race.
"Sorry Beni, guess you're stuck tanning." Toxsa grinned a shit eating grin.
"Fuck you." Beni hissed and spread out her towel on the sand. She laid on the pink towel she had spread onto the sand. Guren went into the surprisingly clear water. Toxsa followed.
"Guren! I challenge you to a diving contest to see who can hold their breath the longest!" Toxsa said smugly, like he knew he would win.
"I have nothing better to do." He shrugged "Why not." Toxsa grinned. "3… 2… 1… DIVE!" When Toxsa said 'dive' both of the teens in the water dived. Guren dived down deep. He swam around a bit to find a place to wait it out.
He found a small cave and sat in it. His lungs started to burn at a little over 2 minutes. He started to swim up but saw that he wouldn't make it. He was drowning. Panic set in and he kicked frantically. He was still 10 feet under the water when he saw a flash of electric blue. The electric blue blur pressed something soft to his mouth and breathed oxygen into his mouth. His eyes widened as the 'whatever it was' stopped giving him air. He was in shock as he stared at the merman with a sparkling blue tail and messy blue hair (were those goggles on his head?) and the most beautiful shining blue eyes. The mermaid had a pink flush on his cheeks. Guren couldn't help but to think that the merman was adorable.
"You can't breathe, c'mon." The beautiful mermaid spoke with a wonderful voice. Then Guren's mind processed what he said. Guren stared to swim up and the mermaid swam behind him to check that he was alright. Guren got up to the surface and the merman swam away with a flick of his tail. Guren was a bit dizzy as he watched the merman disappear into the currents.
"Guren! Are you okay man? You were gone for 7 minutes!" Toxsa swam to his friend in concern.
"I'm… fine." Guren was dazed and a bit dizzy, but the dizziness was wearing off. Toxsa sighed in relief.
"I thought you had drowned. If you had, I would've never forgiven myself." Toxsa grabbed Guren's hand and started pulling him towards the shore. When they had reached it Beni ran over.
"Are you okay?" she said seriously.
"I'm fine. I can just hold my breath a long time. I also overestimated the amount of time so I came up gasping for air but I survived luckily." Guren lied, not wanting them to know about the merman he met. He felt as if they would think he was crazy or try to capture the merman.
Toxsa smiled. "Let's go home, almost drowning was probably mentally scarring."
"I'm fine! C'mon we've only been here for ten minutes!" "Yeah." Beni agreed. Everyone got into the water.
"Hey Beni." Beni looked over at Toxsa only to get splashed in return. "Hey!" she splashed him back and all three of them started the biggest splash war of their lives.
A/N: Gosh I'm so sorry! I know I haven't written anything in a while but I had writers block. I do not own Tenkai Knights and OC-FREE Dinosaur (Check them out!) inspired me to write some kind of Tenkai Knights thing. This fandom needs more love! But anyway, I hope you enjoyed this first chapter. I do admit everyone was so OOC constructive criticism is greatly appreciated! Tune in next chapter! ~.`^(-^-^-)^~.`
