Courage the Cowardly Dog has been through a lot of unusual events in his life. Ever since he was a puppy, he was taken in by a kindly old woman named Muriel Bagge and has had to protect her and her ungrateful husband Eustace from all sorts of monsters, supernatural beings, and psychotic killers.
Thankfully, his altruism has paid off. He's started going steady with Shirley the Medium, who was most impressed by the number of times he's helped other people without expecting anything in return. However, he's met with yet another challenge where he has to prove that his name is meaningful, though it's not necessarily having to save his loved ones from yet another unspeakable horror.
"Courage, have we gone to a beach yet", asked Shirley the Medium, whom Courage was helping organize the trinkets and nicknacks strewn across her vardo. "Come to think of it, Shirley, I don't think we've ever gone to the beach together", Courage replied. "What kind of beach do you want us to go to?"
Shirley thought for a moment. She was hesitant to answer because she didn't want Courage to think she was forward, but she decided in the end that it would be another adventure for the two of them. "I know one beach, but I'm not sure if it's the kind of beach you want to go to. You see, the place is called Sunshine Haven, and it is a nudist beach."
Courage's eyes widened in mortification. "You mean...one of those beaches where everyone has to walk around in their birthday suits? I don't know if I'm ready to see that much of you, Shirley!" As soon as Courage settled down, Shirley assured her boyfriend that she respected whatever decision he'd make.
The pink canine thought it over for a bit and made his decision. "Okay, Shirley. I'll give the place a try, but only on one condition. Let's agree to keep this between the two of us. I don't want to even think what Muriel would say about us going to a nude beach, the Farmer would just find something else to make fun of us for, and my computer's snarky enough as it is."
"Very well", replied Shirley. "This little escapade will be our little secret." With that, the two dogs made their way to Sunshine Haven and started to disrobe.
