p class="MsoNormal"emSomewhere in the Caribbean, midafternoon:/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"The sun shone. The palm trees swayed gently in a slight breeze. A cerulean sky stretched out to meet a terrifically blue ocean. It was the most picturesque day one could imagine./p
p class="MsoNormal"At Accio Caribbeana, the most popular wizarding getaway in the Caribbean Sea, plenty of people were out enjoying the beautiful afternoon. A group of teenagers hit a volleyball back and forth in the breakers, and further out, two wizards were testing out some Muggle surfing tricks. One forty-year-old woman sat on a lawn chair near an unusually thick stand of palm trees, sipping an iced tea and enjoying a novel./p
p class="MsoNormal"The casual observer would have deemed it the perfect beach day, but all was not as it seemed./p
p class="MsoNormal"The woman by the palm trees suddenly looked up from her book and peered at the stand of trees. From a distance, nothing appeared out of place. She blinked a few times, shrugged, set her drink down on a small table next to her, and continued to read her book./p
p class="MsoNormal"Suddenly, a small, pineapple-shaped figure darted out from behind a tree and scurried under the lawn chair. It was quickly followed by two more. The figures paused, and then began to form a pyramid by the woman's drink. Toe topmost one reached out and grabbed the glass with tiny hands, then hopped up onto the table. The lady was so engrossed in her book that she didn't see anything (however quiet the mysterious visitors may have been.)/p
p class="MsoNormal"The other two – emthings/em, for lack of a proper name – hopped up alongside the first. They all got hold of the glass, then proceeded to fly up into the air, hover above the poor lady's head, and dump its contents all over her lap./p
p class="MsoNormal"The woman screamed as she was doused in iced tea. Everyone in the vicinity turned to see her, drenched in tea, with three hovering pineapples over her head. The pineapples cackled in a most un-pineapple-like way, then zoomed back off into the trees./p

p class="MsoNormal"stronga/n: Guess who's been procrastinating? Me! In my defense, sports seasons are hard. But hey, I finally got this up. I am proud of myself. As you can see, it is quite light and not at all sensible. Thanks, Boooklover. It you don't like it, go find some rainbow penguins. If you do - please leave a review! (Feel free to leave a review if you don't like it either. That way my writing gets better.)/strong/p
