CHAPTER 8-FUN ON THE BEACH.
Later, the two of them had arrived at a vacational beach. Mirage had already changed and was waiting for Dash. A minute later, Dash came out wearing his orange swim trunks.
"Sorry, Aunt Mirage." Dash said as the two of them walked down the pier.
"It's fine." Mirage said with a smile as they set down their things and she put up their umbrella. Afterwards, Dash went for a swim while Mirage watched him with a smile. After some time, Dash got sprayed with a huge jet of water. He looked and saw Mirage standing at the shoreline while holding a water gun and laughing. Dash started laughing along with her before she came into the water and swam with him.
"Are you having fun, Dash?" Mirage asked.
"I am, Aunt Mirage." Dash said before they went back to the shore and dried off.
After that, they went to get ice cream.
"Here you go." the vendor said before she handed Mirage and Dash two chocolate cones.
"Thank you." Mirage said before she handed Dash his cone.
The two of them then sat down on a bench and ate their cones.
"Man, this is delicious!" Dash said as he finished his cone.
"You said it!" Mirage said as she also finished hers and they went back to the beach.
"Attention, beachgoers! The sand sculpture contest is about to begin! If you'd like to enter, now is the last minute!" an announcer said over an intercom.
"Hey, Dash, didn't you say you're good at making things out of Moon Sand?" Mirage asked.
"Yeah." Dash answered before he got what she was getting at and got a great idea.
"Hey, Aunt Mirage, think you can go find us some candy? I want my sculpture to be a surprise." Dash said.
"Okay. I'll be back later." Mirage said with a smile before she and Dash headed in separate directions.
Later, Mirage came back with two bags of candy and she saw Dash coming her way.
"Aunt Mirage, you have got to see the sculpture I made!" he said as he led her to it. Mirage fell speechless. The sculpture was of her holding the Incredibles symbol in one hand with her other hand around Dash and Violet's shoulders, with Violet holding Jack-Jack.
"Wow! Dash, you made this?!" Mirage asked in astonishment.
"Sure did." Dash said before he was hugged by Mirage.
"It's awesome. I love it." she said.
Later, after the other contestants were finished with their sculptures, the time came to announce the winner.
"And the winner is… Dash!" the announcer said as the spectators clapped and Dash was handed a gold trophy.
"Congratulations, Dash." Mirage said as they walked back to a cottage they were staying for the week.
"Thanks, Aunt Mirage." Dash said as he set the trophy in his bag.
