'Sup everybody! To avoid any confusion, this took place before the last episode. Also, this is my first story so i hope you all enjoy it and please review. I WELCOME ALL CRITICS!

It's a warm summer day at the Marzipan City beach as we see Chowder and the gang enjoying themselves. Truffles and Endive are taking in some rays, Mung Daal is strutting around in his Speedo looking for ladies, Schnitzel is playing rugby with some guys, and Chowder is at the concession stand, stuffing his face with a tray full of born dogs, cloudy candy, splachos and flot dogs, while Panini watches amorously.

Chowder stops for a second and looks at Panini. With a mouthful of food, he shouts, "I'M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND!" with most of the food flying out of his mouth and landing on his face. Panini wipes the food of her face while still maintaining her love struck facial expression. "I always loved watching you eat, Num - Nums. I'll never leave your side. Not ever," Panini says dreamily. This made Chowder frustrated. Then, he came up with an idea. So, he swallowed his tray of food, letting out a loud burp, ran towards the ocean and began swimming out as far as he could.

Mung sees this and he shouts, "Don't stay out there too long, Chowder. We'll be leaving in 5 minutes." As he was saying that, his eye caught a beautiful, well – figured woman in a baby blue two piece bikini. Truffles sees Mung and flies furiously towards him and hits him with a rolling pin that sends him flying!

Chowder is swimming out as far out as possible, chanting to himself, "Must. Escape. Panini. Must. Escape. Panini." Then, he gets a pain in his stomach and stops swimming. By now, he far enough where he's just a small purple speck in the distance. He looks at his stomach and it shouts, "STOMACH CRAMP!" and began to twist into knots and Chowder began to sink. He tried to swim back to shore but the pain was so great, it immobilized him so he couldn't move. Like a rock, he slowly sinks to the bottom.

Back on shore, Panini is splashing in the water when she feels a strange jolt. "My Chowder senses are tingling," she says. Then, her eyes grew larger and tears start to fill in the wells of her eyes as she shouts, "NUM - NUMS IS IN DANGER!" She searches high and low for the missing Chowder, from the men's restroom to the concession stand and then back to the the restroom again. Exhausted, she runs to Mung and asks, "Have you seen my Num - Nums? I can't seem to find him anywhere."

"Last time I saw Chowder he went for a swim. I thought it would be good for the boy, so I let him go." Mung says to Panini. "You could go get him and we'll wait for a little while until you get back," Truffles added. Then, Endive butts in and says, " I'm not waiting any longer than a minute! I can't miss my soaps!" "Radda radda (Whatever)," Schnitzel says not really caring what's going on.

"Ok then. I'll be back before you know it," Panini says and jumps in water. "Don't worry Num - Nums, I'm coming.
