AUTHOR'S NOTES: Despite this being about the last 10 days of summer vacation, this is not a one-shot. The dialogue for each one of the 10 days may seem short, but just roll with it. Enjoy.

This story takes place in August of 2012.

CHAPTER 1:

Day 1 - The Beach

Beca & Chloe are sitting in lawn chairs on the sand looking out at the water.

"Man, I love the beach; hot guys, hot weather, and the perfect place to get a tan." Chloe said.

"Don't forget about the best part: Cooling off in the water." Beca added.

"Well, yeah there's that." Chloe said. "(sighs) I wish it'd last forever." She said.

"Well, come on, let's get in the water." Beca said as she notices Jesse & Benji.

"Hey, Beca." Jesse said.

"Jesse, Benji, what are you two doing here?" Beca asked.

"Well, clearly we had the same idea about coming here before summer ends." Jesse said.

"Yeah, Jesse and I were talking and we wanted to spend our summer doing stuff we enjoy before we head back to school." Benji added.

"Well, that's a wonderful idea." Chloe said.

"Agreed. Come on, let's hit the water." Beca said as Aubrey approaches her & Chloe.

"What's up, ladies?" Aubrey asked.

"OMG, Aubrey, you look stunning in that bathing suit & sunglasses." Chloe said.

"Thanks; I took a modeling job in France over the summer. Sadly, it ended before it began, but thankfully they let me keep all the clothes." Aubrey said.

"Well, that's great." Chloe said.

"Yeah. Now come on, no more stalling; let's hit the water." Beca said.

"You go on ahead, Beca; I'm gonna work on my tan." Chloe said as she starts to lie down in the sand.

"Chloe, you have ALL DAY to work on your tan. Let's go." Beca said slightly frustrated.

"Fine!" Chloe said groaning.

They headed for the water and Chloe saw something that made her curious. "Hmm...I wonder how deep this water is." She said.

As she attempted to go past the buoy line, Beca made an attempt to stop her. "Chloe, what are you doing?" She asked.

"Seeing how deep this water is." Chloe said.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Beca asked concerned. "If you swim too far out, you could drown." She added.

"Relax, Beca; I'm not gonna drown." Chloe said with confidence as she swam out a long way.

"I got a bad feeling about this." Beca said with a worried look on her face.

As Chloe tried to swim back to Beca, she gradually sank underwater.

"Beca...HELP ME!" Chloe yelled struggling.

"Just hang on, Chloe, I'll get the lifeguard!" Beca said as she proceeded to do so.

As the lifeguards carried Chloe back to shore, she tried to gain conciousness.

"What happened?" Chloe asked.

"Oh, thank goodness." Beca said feeling a sigh of relief.

"I guess I learned my lesson." Chloe said.

"You think?!" Beca said.

"Totally, next time I go in the water, I'll listen to you from now on." Chloe said.

"Good. How about tomorrow we go get that tan you wanted." Beca said.

"Deal!" Chloe said feeling excited.


Day 2 - Beca's Front Yard

Beca & Chloe are laying down on the front yard in front of the sun.

"You see, Chloe; with the sun that bright you'll surely get that tan you want." Beca said.

"Yeah. Hey, did you bring the suntan lotion?" Chloe said.

"Got it right here." Beca said as they both applied suntan lotion on their bodies and continued their tan.

2 hours later they've completed their all-over tan.

"OMG, this is the best tan I ever had." Chloe said.

"I never thought tanning would be so much fun." Beca said.

"Especially since you did it with me." Chloe added as they both chuckled.

"Okay, so what's next?" Beca asked.


Day 3 - Mini-Golf Course

At Hole 9, Chloe managed a hole-in-one.

"YES! That's another hole-in-one for me!" Chloe said with excitement.

"Okay, how do I know you're not cheating?" Beca asked.

"Cheating? Come on, Beca, how can you cheat in mini-golf?" Chloe asked.

"Well, you clearly got a hole-in-one on every hole on the Front 9." Beca pointed out.

"What can I say? I've mastered this course lots of times." Chloe gloated.

"Clearly." Beca said.

8 holes later, "Well that's 17 holes down and so far and I'm ahead by 9." Chloe said.

"Okay, don't you get competitive with me." Beca said.

"Oh, I'm just getting started." Chloe said.


Day 4 - Drive-in Movie

Jesse returned to his car about to watch a movie with Beca.

"Okay, I brought the popcorn, our drinks, let's just enjoy the movie." Jesse said.

"Pass me some popcorn." Beca said as he proceeded to do.

As the movie played they both continue to share their big tub of popcorn. By the end of the movie, very little popcorn remained.

"That was such a great movie." Beca said smiling.

"Glad you liked it. We need to do this again sometime." Jesse said.

"Right?!" Beca said as Jesse started his car and he & Beca left.
