This was probably the worst idea he had ever partaken in his life. And that's pretty impressive considering how many mistakes were on that list.
Currently, Sollux Captor was sitting in the backseat of Feferi Piexes pink convertable. Which wasn't too bad, really. Sollux would have been fairly happy if not for two other things; The other person sitting in the car besides him, and the location they were driving towards.
"Sol, you're being awfully quiet back there." Feferi turned her head slightly to look at the teen in the rearview mirror. Sollux refused to make eye contact.
"It's better that way. Now we can listen to the music instead of his constant infuriating lisp." At the sound of the other voice, Sollux rested his forehead in his palm. Why him? Why Eridan Ampora out of all people?
"I'm actually looking at the scenery dumbass. It's better then rudely staring at Fef's chest like you are." Sollux had to look out of the car to stop himself from a full-fledged rant about how much of a dickhead the other man was. He heard a small 'humph' from the passenger seat, and felt Feferi awkwardly shift.
"We're almost there guys. Try to cool your fins until we hit the waves!" Feferi said, trying to clear the awkward air. Sollux rested his chin in his hands, staring at the back of the driver's seat. He traced the seam, running his finger up and around the cushion, stopping at a bump. With nothing better to do, he reached his hand into the pocket, feeling for the cause of the mysterious protrusion. His fingers tips hit a cool, smooth surface, and he grasped the object. Bringing it into the sunlight, he discovered it to be a small shell, barely the size of his thumb. He inspected it for a moment before sliding it back into it's pocket, his mood dropping to a new low. The shell had reminded him of the purpose for this trip. Feferi had invited him to go to the beach with her. Eridan was coming too as it turned out, but that was beside the point. The point was that he was going to the beach, and he was afraid of the sea. Not only that, but he did not know how to swim. It didn't help that Eridan and Feferi were both on the swim team. Sollux smelled a faint difference in the air, and tasted salt on his lips. He raised his head and sat up, leaning over the side of the car to get a better view. They were on a hill, and ahead of them was the longest body of water that Sollux had ever seen. It went on and on, with small white peaks occasionally disturbing the deep blue. He saw a sail, but it disappeared from sight so soon he thought it was his imagination. The car jolted suddenly, shaking Sollux out of his thoughts.
"Reely sorry aboat that guys!" Feferi slid her sunglasses up from her face, pushing her hair back. Sollux shrugged. He wished that the stop light would never switch, but after a minute or so it did, and Feferi hit the gas. They lurched forwards, moving ever faster towards the ominous ocean ahead.
