Celestial Being finally gets a break after their long conflict intervention. They are set at the mercy of nature as they deal with all sorts of comical problems associated with seawater and awkward relationship moments.

By the way...I don't own Gundam 00...but i was considering the model kit earlier...

Sand, Sun, and a Whole Bucket of Madness

Chapter 1

The weather was perfect. The sky was a clear sapphire blue with a scattering of clouds. The sun was out but not relentless. Seagulls glided through the air in search of their midday meal. Gentle waves rushed in from the great ocean expanse to come into contact with a perfect beach. The white sand lining the ocean looked as inviting as a soft leather couch. A little distance from the beach stood a rather large blue and white spacecraft...it was the Ptolemaios 2, mother ship of Celestial Being. With the fight against the mad gift fastener with a severe inferiority complex (Ribbons Almark) the crew of Celestial Being could finally take the break they deserved and relax, their first break in several years.

The hatch of the Ptolemaios 2 hissed open sending clouds of loose sand flying into the distance. Standing at the entrance of the hatch, some shielding their eyes was Setsuna, Allelujah, Lockon, a slightly irritated Tieria, a nervous Feldt, an ecstatic Mileina, Anew, Marie, Sumeragi, Billy, and even a very reluctant Graham.

"Waaaaaa! It's a beach!" screamed Mileina, "I've never been to one! Ooooo look at the water! It's so beautiful."

Without another word she raced down the ramp and towards the water. But before she could get very far she was snatched by a very calm and slightly emotionless Setsuna.

"Calm down Mileina. We're just looking for now." Said Setsuna.

"But…but…I want to swim!" whined Mileina.

Before Setsuna could come up with an answer Sumeragi Lee Noriega asked, "Mileina, how do you expect to swim without a proper swimsuit? We've been more or less cooped up in space for the last few years wearing uniforms. You want to swim in your skirt?"

Mileina, thoroughly embarrassed now, shook her head. "I guess I need a swimsuit first huh?"

"Yes you do! And this is an order! All of us will now go to the nearest city and buy some relaxation gear." Sumeragi grinned mischeviously…this is going to be fun.

Meanwhile while the girls started to plan out their vacation the guys stood around…rather useless and slightly bored.

"So what exactly are we supposed to do now?" asked Billy. He was slightly red because at the mention of the word swimsuit he had started to fantasize what Kujo (Sumeragi) would look like. Out of his jitterbug nerves and his attempt to hide the fact that he was fantasizing, he pushed his glasses up onto the bridge of his nose.

"I expect that we're going to have to accompany them…" sighed Lockon. The only person he truly looked forward to being with was Anew. It had been a sheer miracle that she didn't die when Setsuna shot her machine.

"C'mon Lockon, don't let them down." Allelujah smiled kindly. "I'm sure you're going to have fun." He suddenly reached out and grabbed both Setsuna and Tieria who just so happened to be attempting to inch away from the group to sneak back into the ship.

"And where do you think you're going? Huh? You want to ruin my fun?" Clearly it was Hallelujah that wanted to have fun…he grabbed the two and forced them into a headlock. "YOU. WILL. NOT. RUIN. THIS. DAY. OR. I. WILL. DISMEMBER. YOU." Thoroughly shaken Setsuna and Tieria had no choice but to obey the threats of the super soldier.

"Hey, Hallelujah, don't hurt them, if you want to have fun then you better leave them to their own devices. Allelujah ran away from the group whacking himself over the head and getting into a heated argument with his violent alter ego.

Setsuna was sulking…his moment of glory had been snatched away from him by Sumeragi. It was ironic that he actually cared. Normally he was indifferent to what was going on in the world. But for some reason he recently started to care. Maybe it was the fact that he realized that Feldt had feelings for him. Sigh…what is with girls…they see the ocean and they get so excited… o well…it will all be worth it if I can see Feldt in a swimsuit…

Tieria on the other hand was wondering about the meaning of his life. What exactly am I supposed to do? I mean I can directly control Veda using my quantum brain waves. But there is nothing for me to supervise. I might as well just leave it on auto for a bit…then there is this beach thing. Everyone knows that I don't like to do these oddball bonding things…so why am I here?

Gram was standing rather rigidly. Unfortunately for him he was suffering from intense anxiety. The only thought running through his mind was this: Gundam…gundam…gundam…gundam…there's one in the hangar…must see Gundam…drool…

Knowing what his best friend was thinking about Billy merely thought: You need a girl my friend…

It took the girls…or at least Sumeragi about an hour to strategically plan out the entire day. She had named the plan Operation Swimwear. The team would take two shuttles to the nearest city and go purchase the beach equipment. If all things went as planned in her outrageously detailed plan then the entire operation would take no more than 3 hours. But knowing the general stupidity of men and the indecisiveness of girls she knew for a fact that something would go horrendously wrong. But despite that knowledge she gave the guys one shuttle and the girls another. Sumeragi knew all of the different love interests that were brewing aboard her ship and planned accordingly. This beach trip is going to bring an interesting turn of events for quite a few people…he he he he…

To BE…CONTINUED!!!!

Notes:

Hi all! I'm back after a long streak of massive unproductivity, general angst and depression over my college situation, and a lack of creativity. This time I am trying my hand at a sort of Comedy Romance…though I have this feeling that I am overstepping my abilities with this one… But anyways this story is hopefully going to be reader inspired so I WANT to hear from you guys! ANYTHING will be greatly appreciated. I'm going to try and write a story based on what you guys want to read. The main pairings are going to be SxF, AlxMa and maybe some others if I can psychologically handle juggling that many stories. So yeah…READ and REVIEW! FLAMES are welcome as I am still a n00b fanfic writer and want as much input as possible. Thanks ahead of time.

P.S. I'll keep writing the things that come into my head for this fanfic, but if I get enough feedback then I'll certainly incorporate what I can into the story. Credit will be given. ^__^ Peace out guys and have fun reading.
