Hey thanks for all the wonderful reviews. I can't believe one little dream had this much impact. It made me smile.
I disclaim owning these wonderful boys and that great girl detective. I decided to add her in because I love her and I grew up with her more than the handsome boys.
This story is taken basically on those paper back books if you read them. Nancy knows all about ATAC and the boys.
I won't be getting to the case or anything for at least a few chapters for now enjoy the amusement of Joe being beaten by three pretty girls.
It was supposed to be only a vacation. Fenton Hardy wanted them to only have fun, no working involved, just a week of hanging out at the beach in the Californian sun.
Fathers apparently think alike because as the boys checked into their suite a group of three girls checked in across from them.
Timing was perfect. All five teens stepped out simultaneously and all jumped a little in surprise.
"Nancy Drew?" Frank asked as he nearly knocked over the girl. Nancy regained her balance and smiled.
"Well if it isn't the daring duo, ATAC send you here?" she asked and Joe shook his head.
"Nope we got higher authority named dad who wanted us to relax, our last case was pretty vicious" he explained.
Bess Marvin giggled. "See Nan and you were complaining your dad was unfair, even these two have to take it easy now" she said.
"Really? The great Drew been stopped for once?" Frank teased and Nancy smirked.
"He's the only man who can" Nancy said and Joe's mouth dropped open.
"That so Ms. Drew, then take me on and lets test that theory" Joe challenged.
Nancy at her two best friends Bess and George and grinned a cocky grin.
Frank saw that and went to help his brother. "Dude, I wouldn't mess with her, Nancy is tough" he whispered and Joe waved away his concern.
The other three backed away leaving the two room in the hallway. Joe smirked and reached out to scare her and Nancy grabbed his arm.
In a neat and fast move she flipped the blond over her should and laid him flat on his back.
Joe stared at her stunned as Nancy grinned over him. "I told you Joseph only my father can stop me" she said.
Joe nodded, too stunned to speak. Nancy laughed and offered her hand and pulled him to his feet.
"Okay, I admit it, your good but I can take out any other girl" Joe said, trying to still look manly.
The cousins each grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back.
"Really Joe? Were Nancy's body guards don't forget, our girl taught us a lot" George said and Joe whined.
When he was let go he glared at his brother who was on his knees laughing.
"Hey bro what happened to protect your partner?" Joe asked and kicked Frank so he fell on his bum.
Frank continued to laugh as Nancy helped him up. "What and look like an idiot like you? I told you Nancy and her friends are strong" Frank said.
Joe rolled his eyes and walked away from the four feeling embarrassed. Bess hurried after him and took his hand.
"Were sorry Joe, please don't be mad" she said and squeezed his hand lovingly. Joe couldn't resist her puppy dog eyes and melted.
He put his arm around her. "Sure Bess I forgive you, besides you girls will never win a race, last one to the beach buys lunch" he said and took off with Bess on his heels.
The other three looked at each and raced off not wanting to lose either.
They all crowded into the elevator and Frank held Joe's shirt. "Don't run yet till we get outside" he said.
"Yes mom" Joe retorted but obeyed and waited till he opened the doors before going full speed.
George was faster though and grinned as she made a flying leap off the boardwalk into the sand with Joe in second.
Nancy was in third with Frank on her tail when Bess tripped and fell. She had only shorts on and gashed her knee up well. Blood came pouring out of the large cut and she winced in pain.
"Ouch"
Frank heard her cry and let Nancy beat him. He stopped and went back to help Bess.
"Are you all right?" he asked gently and stooped to check her out and sucked in a breath at the injury.
"Doesn't look too bad, there should be a first aid in the beach, lets get you fixed up" he said. He helped her up and Bess winced as she put pressure on the injured led.
Her knee was throbbing and Frank scooped her up. Joe stared in shock as a minute later his brother walked over carrying Bess.
"She fell and while you might love a girl paying for you, mom taught me to be a gentleman" he said, mainly to his brother.
"A bets a bet, don't matter sex Francis" Joe retorted and Frank rolled his eyes.
"You have so much to learn Joseph" he replied. Bess giggled. Frank walked away and to a first aid tent a few feet away.
George looked amused. "Only been here a half hour and Bess has a boyfriend" she said.
"They do make a cute couple" Nancy agreed though a slight pang of jealousy washed over her.
'I must be crazy, I don't love Frank, I love Ned, I'm happy for Bess' she thought but the feeling did not subside.
A few minutes later Bess walked out, her knee bandaged up. "Thanks Frank for helping me" she thanked the boy now walking with her.
Frank turned a deep shade of red as Bess repaid him with a peck on the cheek.
Joe chuckled amused at his brothers embarrassment and was awarded with a shower of sand.
"Hey!" he cried and threw sand back at his brother and a small sand fight started.
Joe noticed a little girl with a pail and went over to her and her parents.
"May I borrow that sweetie, my brother is teasing me and I need to pay him back" he said and the girl nodded.
"Sure mister, my brother Charlie annoys me too, he kept singing an annoying song in the car the whole way" she answered.
Joe grinned at her. "Big brothers are annoying" he agreed as he took the pail.
He filled it with sand and dumped it on Franks head sneaking up behind him
He tossed the bucket back to the little girl and ran for the water with an angry Frank on his heels.
"Joseph Michael Hardy, you're a dead man bro" Frank yelled.
"Francis James Hardy, you'll have to catch me first" Joe shot back and just when he thought he had gotten far enough away he was tackled.
"Oof" he cried as his face hit sand.
"Victory is mine" Frank yelled in triumph. Joe spit out sand and glared at his happy brother.
"Come on I'll buy you some soda" Frank offered and held out a hand. Joe took it and Frank swung an arm around his brothers shoulders.
Joe smiled. "Don't forget, you and Bess are buying lunch" he said and Frank nodded.
The two went to the truck serving ice cream and brought hot dogs and sodas for all five of them and went to eat.
When they found the girls and were about to sit a scream came from the water.
"Help! I can't swim too good" a small voice yelled. Joe recognized it as the little girl with the pail. His hot dog fell on the sand with his drink as he dove for the water.
It was slightly cold but it didn't bother the blond as he dove into a wave and paddled the eight feet to the girl who was going to get sucked out.
She had a surf board chain to her ankle and had been playing with the board when she got knocked off and dragged out.
"Easy kiddo, I got you" Joe said gently as he lifted her on to the board and paddled behind it back to shore.
He got her to the edge and took the cuff off and sat there trying to get the water out of his ear. The little girl jumped up and into a worried woman's arms who immediately scolded her.
"Annie don't ever scare me like that again" he heard her say. Joe went to get off his knees when a big wave came and knocked into him.
Joe was knocked off balance and knocked out cold as his head hit the sand.
"Joe!" was last he heard as his brother and friends ran toward him.
Lots of Joe whooping this chapter lol don't worry I'll get into Franks accident later in the story. Isn't Annie cute? She'll be in the story a lot as well.
