Chapter 2 - The Beach

Saturday had arrived and it was perfect. The sky was a clear blue, cloudless with a brightly shining sun. Amy had tried once again convincing Tails to join her (in order to snag Sonic), although Tails' workload had only increased and he is not the kind of boy who'd ever pass off the chance to work with more mechanics. Vanilla had once again applauded her to reconsider, "I'd be more than happy to take you girls to the pool if you like, nice and safe". Yet this only annoyed Amy more, the pool was lame and overcrowded, no, it had to be a beach party, that's what cool people do.

Amy had prepared her outfit the following night, she would be wearing a yellow summer's dress with a wide-brimmed brown hat. The largest pair of sunglasses she could find and sandals with a rustic charm. Walking with a swagger from her house along the path, she turned heads as always. On her side a picnic basket which held also the rug and her swimming gear. She passed Tails who wished her a good day and made a point to stride right past Vanilla's cottage.

It didn't take her too long, she had three main choices of beach. There was the cliffy coastline where Tails lived, the popular surf beach with lifeguard and further on a long stretch of calmer seas where the reef was. Amy walked through the lovely tropical path and along the beach, finally finding a nice spot where she was alone she began setting up.
She pitched the umbrella in the sand, set out the rug and plopped herself down. Glancing up and down the beach. Amy started off in a dignified way, by reading, although she was reading pure smut.

She changed the characters in her mind as she always did, Brad became Sonic and Vanessa became Amy. Oh, it was very saucy, quite romantic and incredibly explicit in detail for the climax. Amy placed the book down on her chest as she laid back, eyes closed, breathing heavily, she always got so swept away in those stories. It was perhaps a good thing, after all, she was alone.
But as mid-day was fast approaching Amy changed, as she was by herself she changed right in the open, it was very liberating.
She pulled on the fire-engine red one-piece swimsuit, it snugly wrapped around her body, the tight nylon-spandex having a loving embrace. If Sonic was here she'd wear a bikini for him, often Amy's trip to the beach or pool was to impress, wearing increasing slimmer bikinis. Yet when alone or just with Tails or Cream she'd wear her one-piece, it was more honest and more practical for a swim.

She sat crossed legged as she ate, watching the sea. She made herself nice thick sandwiches, some orange/lemon flavoured soft drink and of course sugary treats. This was after all a day for pleasure and fun. The warm sea breeze felt nice flowing through her soft pink fur. She rested after eating, it had to be mid-day now as the sun was at peak intensity. Now was the time for a dip Amy thought.

Amy didn't bring flippers or goggles, it would just be her and the swimsuit. Gently stretching as she stood and stepped out of the shade into the sun, she shielded her eyes for a moment, the heat was quite extreme. Her tail flicked happily as she smirked, striding with strut towards the sea for a nice relaxing and well-deserved swim.
