CHAPTAH STARTO!

A Day At The Beach

Part 1

Chow's POV

"Ugh... It's so hot!" Sulley complained as we sat curled up on my bed in my room.

"Well then let's go somewhere. Somewhere... Cool."

"Like the beach? It's the only place close enough to count."

"Yeah! Good thinking, furry cheeks." I joked as he blushed heavily.

"I told you not to call me that."

"But babe, you said not around other people. We're alone in my room, furry cheeks." I cooed in his ear playfully.

"Johnny just went to the restroom with Randy for a second. What if they heard you?"

"Heard what?" Johnny inquired as he walked back in with his reptilian lover hanging from his shoulder.

"Us planning a trip to the beach. You should totally invite the rest of your frat." Sulley answered quickly.

"Ooh... That might be tough. They still kind of hate the Oozmas for what Sulley did at the final event. With a passion. I don't think they'd go for it."

"Just imprint on them. They'll show up and we can finally bury the hatchet. Besides, my brothers might still be a bit peeved about the whole 'Cute-ma Kappa' thing too."

"So tomorrow at 10?"

"We'll bring the food. You bring the entertainment. Beach barbeque!" I cheered as the air conditioning finally kicked in.

The tension in the limo could be sliced with a baby carrot. My frat sat on one side while Johnny's sat on the other.

Johnny and I took the seats at the ends with our lovers.

Henry was at home sick. I could've really used his help today.

"So... How've you guys been?" Johnny asked my frat as they glared at him.

"Just fine. We just hope there aren't any paint cans or flower cannons at the beach." Teri grunted as ROR's glare intensified.

"You guys just can't take a joke! What you guys did at the Scare Games wasn't funny at all!" Chet shot back as the limo erupted into arguments.

The only monsters that seemed to not argue with the others were Squishy, Don and Chip.

I wonder why Chip isn't arguing back. And why is Squishy staring so hard at him?

Hmm... Mind scan? Nah. It's none of my business.

"Everybody shut up!" Johnny commanded and the limo got silent.

"We scheduled this trip to end the feud. Now..." I turned to the RORs. "What's it gonna take for you guys to forgive and forget?"

Javier put up one claw in thought as he closed his eyes.

"We'll forgive them and move on under one condition. They beat us fair and square in a game." He stated calmly.

"What game?"

"5 on 5 Beach Dodge Volleyball."

"Are you sure you guys want to do this?" I asked my brothers as we stood on one side of the net with the ROR team on the other.

It was Reggie, Javier, Chet, Johnny, and Randy on their side while Art, Don, Sulley, Mike, and Me stood on ours.

"If we win, it's like getting revenge on them and gaining their respect at the same time. It's a double win!" Mike explained as I took my place in the back.

"The rules are simple. First team to reach 21 points or hit everyone on the opposing team with the volleyball anywhere except the hands or arms wins. No catching or throwing the ball. Everything else goes." Javier explained as he adjusted his swim trunks. "Ready?"

"Ready!"

"Then let's serve it up!"

Javier served the ball over the net to Don who used the back of his tentacle to hit it over the net.

The volley continued until Johnny hopped up on Chet's back and kicked the ball into Art's leg.

"Point us. You okay?"

"Just stung a bit. I'll be fine. Thanks for asking!" Art replied cheerily as he stood on the sidelines with the rest of our frat.

"Your serve." Johnny stated as he tossed me the ball.

I caught it with one paw and smirked. "Ok... Let's light it up, boys."

I served the ball to Randy who hit it back in stride. Then, I boosted off Sulley's outstretched paws and spin-kicked the ball into Reggie's gut.

"1-1. Your serve." I grinned as Javier picked up the ball.

"This is gonna be fun." He smirked as I felt the game start to heat up.

20 minutes and some painful hits later, both sides looked worn out.

Each frat only had 2 players left: Javier and Johnny and Me and Sulley.

Don and Mike knocked out Randy and Chet halfway through, but were ejected themselves by a few well placed hits from Javier.

The score was now 19-19.

"This isn't our fight. It's their problem to work out." I mentally told Johnny as he nodded.

"Serve up!"

I hit the ball up to Johnny and he knocked it back to me.

We both hopped up at the same time and I kicked the ball into Johnny's chest hard enough so it bounced back and hit me on the hip.

"We're out. It's up to you two now." Johnny grunted as we left the court.

"So it's come to this..." Javier stated stoically.

"Yes it has..." Sulley murmured as he caught the ball that was tossed to him in one clawed hand.

He hit it over to Javier and the intense volley started.

They began trading verbal blows as the ball went back and forth.

"You've always been a disappointment!"

"People change! You never gave me a second chance!"

"You don't deserve one after the stunt you pulled at the Scare Games!"

"It was a moment of weakness. I even turned myself in afterwards!" Sulley growled as he kicked the ball into a corner out of the big monster's reach.

The force from the blow created a crater in the sand.

The glares they were trading didn't faze me or Johnny, but I couldn't say the same for the rest of us.

"Give me one good reason why I should forgive you."

"Because I had the balls as a monster who fucked up to admit that and ask for it."

"I'm sowwy. Did we miss something?" Chet inquired.

"Yeah. I'm lost too." Reggie chirped in as he scratched one of his eyes.

"Don't worry about it. After this is done, it'll all make sense." Javier preached as he served the ball back up.

"It's 19-20 right now. If Sulley scores again, it's done."

They were neck and neck, but Javier had a trick up his sleeve.

He hit the ball into the air, then curved it so it would move just as Sulley swung at it.

"Game point... Always time to back out, Sullivan."

"I'm not that kind of guy anymore, Rios."

"Then serve that shit."

Sulley took the ball and threw it straight up in the sky. Then, he jumped up and bicycle-kicked it into Javier.

He didn't take it lying down though. He tried to deflect it with his arms, but it bounced into his face.

Sulley landed with a thud and a huge grin etched into his jaw.

After his legs recovered from the shock, my boyfriend strolled under the net to where Javier was still lying in the sand.

"We good?" He inquired as he held his hand out.

Javier stared at the offending object for a minute before he grabbed it.

"Yeah. All is forgiven, amigo. I'm a man of my word. I hope you are too now."

"I am. I'm just glad we don't hate each other anymore."

"Oh, we didn't hate you. This is just the only way we're able to forgive people anymore."

"Isn't that kind of weird?" Terry asked him as the rest of his frat stood behind him.

"It's ROR summer tradition. Don't knock it." Johnny smirked.

"Oh... That makes sense."

"Now can we start cooking? Winning makes me hungry!" Mike grumbled as he ran back to the limo to get the supplies.

"I'm not leaving Mike alone with the food. He can burn cereal. Still wonder how that's possible." Randy huffed as he followed after his old friend.

I noticed that Chip was subtlely winking at Squishy and Squishy was trying to hide a huge blush.

"You guys can stop acting like you're not dating now. It makes you seem ashamed of each other and that kind of irks me." I deadpanned as they both stared at me in shock.

"H-how did you know?" Squishy stuttered as I smirked at them.

"Subtlety doesn't work when you're around a Devower. Remember that." I added as I pointed to my eyes.

"Chip! Why would you hide that from your brothers? We're family!" Chet shouted, hurt dripping from his voice.

"Because I didn't want to get kicked out the frat..."

"Why the hell would we kick you out for dating a guy? Johnny's dating Randy for boogie sake!" Reggie wailed as Johnny walked over to him.

"He probably thought we'd hate him for dating an OK." Johnny explained as he turned to Chip. "How long?" He inquired surprisingly calm.

"About 3 months now... A week after the first Scare Game."

"So you knew about the prank?" Don asked Squishy.

"It wasn't his idea. He told me about it but I said I wouldn't tell. He didn't know about the quad, t-shirts and stuff." Squishy defended.

"Usually I would be mad, but you get a pass for not ratting out your boyfriend. Respect."

"Really? Thanks, Chow!"

Squishy pulled me into a bone-crushing hug.

"Please do this to your boyfriend instead..."

"Oh... Right." He blushed as he ran up to Chip and planted a kiss on his cheek.

"Oh, come on! You can do better than that!" Art jeered and started chanting, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

The rest of us joined in as Chip effortlessly picked up the big man-child and firmly pressed their lips together.

"Whoo! Where's the food?"

At this point, Mike and Randy walked up with the bags of food supplies.

"The hell did we miss?!"
