Hello! I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. I was really busy. *cough* Sims and fanfiction. *cough* Well, this must be my longest yet. 2,095 words! Yay! But please expect the next one to be extra, extra short. Hehehe...
Also, please forgive me for Jonah's slang. Slang is like alien talk to me. So sorry.
Last thing: I don't own anything. Not even this laptop. I share it with my sisters.
-Amy Stardust
Kaye drove into Dan and Amy's driveway. It was a beautiful day. And they were going to the beach.
She got out of the car and walked toward the house. She was wearing her bikini under a loose, spaghetti strap dress. She wanted to get in the water already.
"Amy! Dan! Let's go!" she shouted cheerily as she pounded on the door. She was too excited to use the doorbell.
She heard someone running and the door was opened quickly. It was Dan.
"Kaye! We bought a doorbell! You'll destroy the door!" he said quickly, still holding onto the doorknob. Amy must've caused him to panic.
"What are you wearing?" Kaye asked. She looked him up and down then looked at her watch. It was 9:03 in the morning. He wasn't supposed to be in his pajamas.
Dan looked down at what he was wearing. He smiled. "What's wrong with it? You don't think I can wear this to the beach?" he joked.
"Yes," Kaye replied, stepping through the doorway. "You wouldn't want anyone to see your little ninjas, do you?" She poked one of the little cartoons that were on his stomach.
"Hey, ninjas are the ultimate masters." He did one of his ninja moves and shouted something. Then he ran up the stairs.
Kaye went into the kitchen.
"Smells good," she said. "Omelets?"
"Yup," Nellie answered, looking back at her and smiling. "Want one?"
"No thanks. I had breakfast already." Kaye sat down on one of the stools at the counter. Nellie went back to her cooking.
"What's in 'em?" Kaye asked, trying to make conversation.
"If I told you," Nellie said, "we'd be sitting here all day."
"Oh."
"Hey, Kaye," Amy said, walking into the kitchen. She adjusted her beach wrap and got herself some coffee.
"Mm. That smells good, Nellie. Omelets?" she asked, leaning her back on the counter to face Nellie. She took a sip of her coffee.
"Ooh, déjà vu," Nellie said, smiling. "Yes, they're omelets."
She placed the food on the dining table. "Time to eat, Dan!" she yelled.
"Yum," Amy said, smiling as she looked at the food. She sat down and started to eat. "Hey, this is really good."
"Thanks," Nellie said. She loved it when people appreciated her cooking.
Dan joined them and Kaye just sat there waiting for them to finish eating. Her blue eyes stared at them, bored. She rested her head on her hand.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Kaye said, perking up. She jumped off her chair and ran to the door. She pulled it open.
"Hi, Hamilton!" Amy heard Kaye say when she opened the door. Amy ate the last bit of her omelet, finished her coffee, wiped her mouth, and jumped off her seat. She sped to the door. Hamilton was here.
"Hey, Ham!" she said brightly. She loved having the Holts live close by. There was nothing wrong with having your relatives as your neighbors.
They moved here a couple of years ago. Something about wanting to try out other gyms.
"You ready to go, Amy?"
"Maybe we should wait and leave with Dan?"
"Okay, sure."
"Come on in."
Hamilton strode in and took a seat on the couch. Amy went to the kitchen to talk to Nellie.
Kaye sat on the tinier couch on the side. (A/N: I don't know what to call it. Please tell me if you do. I'd really appreciate it. :D) "Where are your sisters?" she asked.
"Oh, they were still busy with stuff so they said that they'd go straight to the beach by themselves," he replied.
Then they just sat there, waiting.
"Why did you come here?" Hamilton asked Kaye.
"Oh. When Nellie heard about our plans to go to the beach, she offered to help with the food." Kaye paused, as if she remembered something. "The food!" she screamed, jumping out of her chair. "I left it in the car!" She ran out the door before Hamilton could offer his help.
She came back in holding two baskets. They were pretty big for picnic baskets though. She left them on the floor, took a deep breath and went back out. Hamilton stood up and followed her.
"Wait. I'll help you with that," he said. He lifted the cooler from her trunk as if it were a rag doll.
"Thanks," Kaye said. "I didn't want anything to happen to the food. It's too hot in the car." She opened the door for him and they both entered.
As if on cue, Nellie came in with a pile of wrapped sandwiches.
"Oh, Nellie, we already have sandwiches and pasta," Kaye said. But she opened one of the baskets anyways.
Nellie carefully put the sandwiches in the basket. "It's okay. I'm pretty sure these will taste different. Try one." She handed one to Kaye.
Kaye unwrapped it and took a bite. "Mm," she said, her mouth still full of sandwich. "Shish ish goob. Wash in it?"
Nellie just smiled.
Kaye swallowed. "Oh." She knew what Nellie meant: "If I told you, we'd be sitting here all day." Kaye wondered how she cooked so quickly with all of those ingredients.
Dan came down the steps.
"How'd you get there so quickly?" Hamilton asked. Dan shrugged.
"He must've gone up while we were getting the cooler out of the car," Kaye said. "Can we go already?"
Amy entered the living room. "Yeah," she said. "Let's go. We'll be late."
"We're here, Amy," Hamilton said as he parked the car.
"Okay, Hammer." Amy let out a small giggle as she removed her seatbelt.
"What?" Hamilton asked as he removed his.
"No. Nothing," she replied, still smiling. "It's just that your nickname's really cute."
"No, it isn't."
"It kinda is." She got out of the car and Hamilton followed. They got their stuff out of the car.
When they got to the beach, Jonah, Kurt, the Kabras, and the Starlings were already there. And the beach wasn't crowded at all.
Amy placed a towel beside Natalie's umbrella. She and Hamilton sat down. Amy turned to Natalie, who was lying on her stomach and reading a magazine.
"I thought you liked getting tans," Amy said.
Natalie looked up. "Well, I decided my tan was already perfect, so I didn't need one anymore." She went right back to reading.
Suddenly, Dan, Reagan, Madison and Kaye were running towards them.
"Hey everyone," Kaye greeted.
"Yo, Kaye, come on 'ere," Jonah said.
Kaye's shoulders slumped. "What?" she groaned. She walked over to him.
They talked in hushed tones for a while, then Jonah must have said something that ticked Kaye off.
"What? You invited them just for that?" she shouted.
"Hey. It ain't a crime. Just do it. C'mon," Jonah coaxed.
"Fine," Kaye said, exasperated. "You know, sometimes, I feel like I'm your assistant." She softened. " But I owe you anyway. So, fine."
"Thanks, yo,"Jonah said slapping her on the back. Kaye stumbled forward a bit. "Oops."
"You caught me a bit off guard." She straightened her dress, walked away and called someone on her phone.
Jonah went to talk to the Starlings.
"Wanna go swim, Reagan?" Dan asked.
"Sure. Let's ask Madison and Kurt. They seem to be bored, too."
"Okay." They stood up from their towel and went to ask Madison and Kurt.
Kaye sat down on a towel on Natalie's other side.
Natalie looked up at her menacingly. "It' getting a bit stuffy in here, isn't it?"
"Oh, sorry." She stood up and moved her towel. Natalie watched her closely.
"You need a tan," she said.
Kaye looked at herself. "It's not that bad. I'm darker than Amy."
"Yeah. But not by much."
Kaye frowned.
Dan, Reagan, Madison and Kurt walked over. "Wanna go swimming?" Dan asked.
"Okay." She removed her dress and followed them to the water.
They started to wade into the water when Reagan suddenly felt water splash onto her back. She gasped then turned around with a smile on her face and splashed water at Dan. They accidentally the people around them with water and soon, everyone was playing, too.
There were screams and laughs everywhere and it was almost impossible to see through all the water.
"Oh. I gotta go back!" Kaye screamed above the ruckus.
"See ya!" Everyone replied.
Kaye went back to her towel and sat down. She looked at her watch. It was a good thing it was waterproof. She had forgotten to take it off.
11:41.
"Hey, I brought lunch! It's time to eat!" she shouted.
"Yes!" Dan cried. "I'm hungry. Got any Miracle Whip?" He got a sandwich and sat down.
"Huh?" Kaye asked, reaching for the cooler. She had no idea what Miracle Whip was.
"You don't know what Miracle Whip is?" Dan asked, his eyebrows raised.
"No," Kaye replied, grabbing hold of a root beer.
"You don't know what Miracle Whip is?" Dan asked, even more disbelievingly.
"No," Kaye said again, but more firmly.
"You don't know what Miracle Whip is?" Dan repeated, but almost shouting this time. He stood up.
Kaye was exasperated. She looked like she was going to throw her root beer at him.
"No, Dan! I have no idea what Miracle Whip is!" Kaye shouted, almost throwing her drink onto the sand.
"But it's the best thing in the world! It tastes so good!" Dan said.
"And it's fattening!" Natalie added, looking up from her magazine.
Dan stuck his tongue out at her.
Natalie did the same, but more elegantly, if that was even possible.
This happened over and over again. Dan, Natalie, Dan, Natalie, Dan, Natalie, Dan, Natalie, Dan, Natalie… Amy couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up, too.
"Stop it!" Amy put her hand over Dan's mouth and looked at Natalie, who immediately went back to reading her magazine. Kaye just drank her soda and watched the scene unfold.
Suddenly, Amy jumped back and gripped her wrist as if her hand was burning.
"Ew! Dan, you're disgusting!" she screamed.
"What's wrong?" Kaye asked.
"He licked my hand!" Amy screamed. She ran towards the restrooms.
Dan just laughed. Natalie looked at him in disgust.
"Just sit down and eat, Dan," Kaye sighed.
"Aw, man, I'm full," Dan said, lying down on the sand.
"Me, too," Sinead said.
"So," Ned said, trying to make conversation. "Why don't we talk about what happened to us these past few years?"
"Sure, why not?" Ian said.
"Oh, I know," Kaye said. "There was this time I was signing CDs and this little girl came up. While I signed her CD, I suddenly smelled something really good. So I asked her what that smell was and the little girl said that it must be her shampoo. Then her mom said, 'You shouldn't tell people about your shampoo, dear.' And then the little girl said, 'Uh, I don't use shampoo!' She was so cute!"
They all laughed.
"Hey, Amy, wanna play volleyball?" Hamilton asked.
"Sure," she said.
"Dan?" Hamilton asked.
"I'm in."
"Reagan?"
"Yeah."
"Madison?"
"Yup."
"Uh, Sinead?"
"Yeah, I'll play."
"Ted?"
"I can't. Remember?"
"I almost forgot. Ned?"
"I can't. I think I feel a headache coming on."
"Jonah?"
"Yeah, man. I'll do it."
"Kaye?"
"No, thanks."
"Kurt?"
"Thought you'd never ask."
"Na-"
"No," she said glaring upward.
"Ian?"
"I will not include myself in that foolishness. I'm going to get myself some ice cream. Anyone want any?"
"No, thanks," everyone said in unison.
Natalie looked up from her magazine and watched the others play volleyball.
They looked like they were having fun, but when Amy hit the ball towards Hamilton, he hit it so hard that it flew over the other teams heads…and towards the ice cream stand.
