I don't own Stoked.
Everything was still the same when I got to Sunset Beach; the waves were still tasteful and high as I remember, the scenery was still fresh as sun tan lotion and the scent of salty sea waters. Even the hotel looked the same, I tossed my long dark red hair over my shoulder as a smile appeared on my face. I was back home.
I made my way over to Bummer at the front counter, "Excuse me, I would like to check in."
Bummer smiled brightly and rushed behind the counter, "Good morning ma'am, I'm the manager of this hotel. Please, if there is anything you need; just call me." He even added a wink which made me shiver.
"It's me, Emma," I pointed out, his eyes widened in realization.
"Oh," Bummer mumbled quickly with a blush and hurry off somewhere. I absentmindly chuckled and went to the staff house, I hope they got some improvements-or a new house. That thing was a smelly dump! The lack of hot water, walls falling down, skunk attacks, military food; oh good times. Nope, I was wrong when I saw the same house. I smiled when I saw Lo and Fin talking, I called out to them and they gave me an odd look.
"Oh hi, who are you?" Lo asked, not quite sure on what to say. I laughed at her, I understood why she didn't recongized me. My red hair was much more darker and longer, which was out of its' ponytail. My dark blue eyes turned to the color of colbat, and my face features changed a little. My freckles turned light which was almost unnoticable and my features turned more mature. I was thinner too.
"Emma?" Fin asked, I nodded excitedly. Lo squealed and tackled me into a hug.
"Ohmigosh! You changed so much!" Lo shrieked happily.
"Yo what's with all de drama!" Broseph cried, walking out to the front yard where girls were screaming on top of their lungs. He looked towards me with confused, "You the new staff member, brah?"
"It's me, Emma!" I said gleefully.
"Emma?" Reef questioned, sticking his head out of the door. He caught sight of me and he ran towards me, "EMMA!
"Hey Reef," I greeted.
"Lookin' good Alberta," Broseph said with a small nod.
"Wanna go surfing?" Emma asked excitedly, everyone agreed as they grabbed their surfboards and ran to the beach. They got out to the water and Broseph and Reef got the first wave, so it was just us girls.
"So where are you working Lo?" I asked looking over at my brunette friend. She frowned and crossed her arms.
"I'm in housecleaning," Lo grumbled, I turned to Fin who slightly smirked.
"I'm the new surf instructor."
"Isn't that Reef's job?" I asked.
"Was last summer, he doesn't know which makes it the beauty of it," Fin exclaimed. Lo and I exchange glanced, "Are you sure you don't just like him?" Fin scoffed, "As if I would like that momma boy, stuck up, hot jerk!"
Lo and I were smirking now, Lo said, "You said 'hot' Fin."
Insert Fin's red blush right here.
"That's ridicious! You know what! Shut up!" Fin stumbled with a glare at the end of her shaky sentence as Lo and I were cracking up. We were laughing so hard to not notice Fin's death glare. She paddle over to us and flip our boards over so we fell into the wet water. We gasped for air as we came back up.
"What the heck!" Lo cried, "My hair took two hours to fix!"
"And it took one minute to ruin," Fin chuckled, oh revenge is sweet.
"It's not funny, Fin," Lo hissed.
"Oh, yes it is," Fin said in a singsong voice, smiling wryly. I watched as the two thought with each other, they were just two peas in a pot. They were complete opposites; one girly and one sporty. It was a mystery how they are friends. Broseph and Reef paddled up to me with an amused look on each other faces. Lo and Fin were now having a small catfight on their boards.
"What's up with them, brah?" Broseph asked, Reef smirked.
"Probably Fin and Lo fighting over me, the chicks dig the Reefster," Reef said with a smug smile.
"Kind of the opposite," I muttered.
"What do you mean?" Reef asked, now he was confused.
"Hair, Lo is mad because Fin ruined her hair," I pointed out, Reef and Broseph let out an 'oh' when Lo is making wild hand gestures to her hair which the guys realize it was a mess. Reef grumbled something and went over to the bickering girls. He said something making Lo and Fin gasped as they push him off his board in result. He crashed into the sea but popped up with his hair ruined and started screeching at them. Now they were fighting.
"Are we the only ones who are sane here?" I asked Broseph, I regret it because I saw my laid-back friend laying on the back of his board eating a sandwhich that he pulled out of his hair. "Uh, nevermind..."
I sighed and watched the scene around me, it was good to be home.
