The Silver and Web Series

Episode 25: Day at the Beach

One hot summer day, Silver woke up in a cheerful mood. His injuries from his latest fight with Lenarok had finally healed and he no longer had to wear bandages on them. He sat up and stretched. "It's so good to finally feel better!" he said with a smile. "Today is a new day filled with new opportunities and new adventures and-" he was so happy that he began to float around the room; however, he wasn't watching where he was going and crashed right into the wall. "Oof!"

As Silver fell to the floor rubbing his sore nose, Web came over to him. "Maybe you should be more careful when facing the day head-on, Silver."

In the living room a little later, Chinon was watching TV with interest. "Chi! Chinon Chinon!" she looked back at Silver, jumping up and down excitedly and pointing at the screen.

"What is it, Chinon?" Silver asked, noticing that on the TV screen was a picture of a sandy beach with gently flowing water beneath a sunny sky, "Do you want to go to the beach?" Chinon continued to jump up and down. "Great idea! What better way to kick off summer?" Silver said, looking over at Web, who was jumping up and down on one of his quills as if it were a trampoline. The tiny spider was also excited at this idea.

When the three of them arrived at the beach, the sky was beautifully blue and the sun was shining, but it was also a hot day. "Phew, it's hot today!" Silver said, and then he looked back at Chinon. "That makes it the perfect day for swimming! Race you to the water, Chinon!" He dropped the picnic basket filled with supplies he was carrying and ran towards the water with Chinon following. Both of them jumped into the water at the same time with a loud SPLASH! Once they surfaced, Silver said, "Come on in, Web!"

But Web had other plans; he was relaxing on a picnic blanket under the shade of an umbrella while wearing sunglasses. "No thanks," he replied, "I'm so small I get swept away easily in the water. I'll just stay here and relax."

Silver used his psychic powers to levitate Chinon and himself above the water. "Suit yourself; Chinon and I are going to have some fun." He then used his powers to make Chinon and himself stand on top of a wave as it came by. "Check out the Silver Surfing Spectacular!"

The lifeguard who was on duty and sitting nearby watched the scene in awe. "I've never seen anything like it…a hedgehog floating right on top of the water?" he said to himself.

After he finished his "surfing", Silver decided to sit in the shade with Web for a little while. When he noticed Chinon's tail waving nearby, he looked over and lifted his sunglasses from his eyes to see what she was doing. He stood up and went closer when he saw that she was building a sandcastle. "Hmm…" the silver hedgehog thought for a moment and then used his powers to arrange some of the sand into a large castle. "Fastest sandcastle-building in the world!" he announced while Chinon watched.

After building her sandcastle, Chinon explored the beach for a while. She looked down curiously when she spotted a seashell lying in the sand. She leaned over to get a close look but ended up getting her nose stuck in its opening. She began to run around frantically. When Silver saw Chinon running about with her nose stuck in a seashell, he used his powers to remove the shell and caught it in his hand; however, Chinon was too busy dashing around to notice and did not stop at first. Then, when she saw her owner looking at her and holding the shell, she stopped short and sighed in relief.

The three friends continued to enjoy their time at the beach throughout the day. Eventually, while they were eating some ice cream, they noticed that the sun was setting. "Wow, look at that sunset! It must be about time to go home." Silver said. Chinon was so intrigued by the lovely sunset that she didn't even notice her ice cream beginning to melt down her paw.

Silver grabbed the picnic basket and floated away with Web riding on his head while Chinon flew behind him. "Have a good night, Mr. Lifeguard!" he waved at the lifeguard before leaving the beach.

"Now I saw a flying hedgehog! I think I need a vacation," the lifeguard switched his "On Duty" sign to an "Off Duty" sign and walked away.

"What's with him?" Silver asked.

"Beats me," Web answered.

When they came home and were standing outside Silver's house, Silver noticed that Chinon's fur was covered in sand and ice cream. "Chinon, you need a bath!" he exclaimed. But Chinon did not want to take a bath and ran as he chased after her.

Web laughed at the scene and then winked. "There's never a dull moment when the three of us are around!"

Yeah, no real adventure in this episode, just some summer fun. :) I was originally going to have a little adventure in this one but ended up with so many other ideas that I decided to move that to episode 26.
