Chapter 4: Welcome to the Family
As morning turns to afternoon, the gang went to North Beach for some fun. Cody, Lani and Joe went to see the cousins and see what are they up to.
"Hey, guys." said Cody.
Megan and Rookie looked up and saw Cody and said, "What's up, C-Dude?"
"Not much." said Cody.
"We're finishing up our boards after a little bit of fixing. We're just making it perfect as it is." said Megan.
"She always makes it look like little miss perfect does it." said Rookie, sarcastically.
"Put a sock in it." said Megan.
Cody and Joe laughed and asked, "Where the others?"
"They're catching a few waves. They'll be along." said Rookie.
"Okay. We're just about to head for lunch. You guys want to come?" asked Cody.
"Of course." said Megan.
"We've been working for a few hours anyway, although she can be a bit demaning after 2 1/2 hours, so." said Rookie.
Megan stares at Rookie at a stern look and said, "Only 30 minutes."
"Whatever, Megs. You are like a little princess rock/tween pop sensation wannabe." said Rookie."
"And what are you, the next emo-punk rock star sensation?" asked Megan.
Dakota, Claire, Bubba and Mickey came back after catching a few waves and sees Cody and the gang and catches up to them. Mickey said, "What you guys up to?"
Cody stares at Mickey and said, "I think we're having a little mouth-to-mouth war and one of them is winning."
"You guys hungry?" asked Claire.
"We all are. Wanna get some fish?" asked Cody.
"Of course!" exclaimed Megan.
"Do I ever!" said Rookie.
"Awesome. I'm really glad you guys are moving here." said Cody.
"Why not, Co? We're a family.We always have your back, man. Always." said Dakota.
"Yeah, man. Count on it." said Rookie.
"Thanks, dudes." said Cody.
Cody gave them all a group hug and went to lunch in Pen Gu. That day, Cody realizes that his Californian cousins are like family and became loyal to them and will be for years to come.
