Finally, the fluff is here! I will be going on hiatus officially tomorrow, so enjoy I hope you enjoy! The tiniest mention of Sasha having a bad eye, Marcy having a metal spine and Anne having her branches, all right at the end and very non-explicit.
Sasha's grinning, choking down his laughter while Marcy grabs at the phone Anne's holding above her head.
With Anne being the tallest and Marcy being the shortest, it's quite a sight. Marcy glares at Sasha when a laugh escapes his mouth, crossing their arms and pouting.
Anne pats them on the head, still holding the phone as high as she can.
"We're going to the beach together Marbles. No phones."
Marcy keeps pouting, and Sasha gives them a shoulder hug.
"C'mon Mar-Mar, you need some sun."
"Ugh. Fine." They concede with a small smile.
Anne pumps her fist and lowers the phone, which Marcy immediately makes a grab for.
Sasha latches onto their arms and Anne walks away to put the phone up somewhere Marcy can't reach.
Sasha's already dressed, towel and bag slung over one shoulder.
Anne and Marcy still aren't ready to go, but it won't take either of them long, so Sasha flops down on the couch and glances around the room as Marcy trots off to get dressed.
He's still not used to the Plantars' house, so different from the grimy stone of Toad Tower and the clean, gleaming opulence of Newtopia.
Not that he's much used to the latter either. It's homey and somewhat patched together. A little like them.
Sasha shakes his head to clear it. He's gonna have a good day today and that path will take him nowhere but pain.
The Plantars are out doing…Sasha's actually not sure what they're doing, but the trio has the house to themselves for the day.
Anne decided it would be good idea to spend most of that day out of the house, since destruction and explosions tend to follow them here in Amphibia.
Anne comes back from wherever she went, probably the basement, wearing a black and blue ombre one-piece, towel slung over her shoulder.
It's still a little awkward to be alone with her, but they're working on it.
Sasha gives her a smile, and Anne smiles back, shoulders straightening as she perks up.
"I like your swimsuit. Isn't that the one you got in Newtopia?"
Sasha glances down at his unisuit, a rose pink thing with black and white splatters over the front and back, and nods.
"Thought this would be a good time to use it."
Marcy appears at the top of the stairs wearing a pale yellow one-piece with mint green stars patterned on it. There's a towel over their shoulder too.
Sasha stands up and gathers his towel and their communal bag, waiting for Marcy to get to the bottom of the stairs.
They all head out the door, bare feet quiet on the green grass as they make their way to the lake.
The sun is out but it's almost Autumn, at least what constitutes "Autumn" in Amphibia, so it's not too warm.
It's a short walk to the lake, and when they get there they lay their towels out on the sand and Sasha sets down the bag.
Anne steps right into the shallows and wades in to her waist, letting out a harsh breath at the cold water against her skin.
Marcy yelps when they stick their toes into the shallow water, and Sasha rolls his eyes.
He slips on his sunglasses, opting to stay out of the cold water until one or both of the others decide to drag him in or splash him.
He lays back on his towel and listens to Anne tease and cajole Marcy into getting into the water properly. He hears a splash and a shriek and laughs quietly to himself.
It's almost like their beach days back on earth, except now it's better because Marcy and Anne enjoy the day without him trying to control everything they do.
It would be a stretch to say Amphibia is better than earth, they all have things they miss, but they're certainly better now than on earth.
Mentally anyway, what with Marcy's metal spine and Anne's branch condition, never mind his own eye.
Days like this though, he thinks as he cracks his good eye open to watch Marcy yank on one of Anne's branches to drag her underwater with them, he barely misses earth at all.
