The sun was shining and the sky was a beautiful kingfisher blue as the Blitz Team and the Flugel Team arrived at the beach.

"Alright! Now we can go and have some fun in the sun!" Bit yelled as he ran down to meet the waves.

"Hey Bit, wanna go surfing a little later?" Jamie asked Bit, who nodded a yes before he dove into the majestic ocean.

"Want to take a walk to cove?" Brad asked Naomi, who, looked stunning in her bathing suit and nodded a simple yes before shyly taking his hand and walking off with him.

Leena and Leon were busy playing volleyball while their dad was playing with his Warshark models in the sand and water. The weather was perfect, and everyone was happy, except for one member of the Blitz team.

Leena wasn't exactly sad or anything, but she was feeling a little down as the beach brought back memories of her mother, when she was still here……

------------------------------------------

A woman with long red hair and a man with brown hair looked on as their 2 small children gleefully playing in the waves. Later, the entire family looked at the beautiful sunset on a cliff overlooking the magnificent ocean. "Isn't this beautiful kids? That's why this is my favorite place in the whole world……"

-------------------------------------------

"Mom……" Leena whispered, as if that would bring her back. Suddenly, she didn't feel like playing volleyball with her brother anymore. She needed to go to that cliff. Leena hoped she would still remember where it was.

"Uh, hey Leon!" Leena yelled to her brother who was waiting impatiently for her to serve.

"Yeah? What?"

"Uh, I need to go for a walk, you don't mind do you?"

"No, just don't be gone too long. I was gonna go surfing with Bit and Jamie anyway.

"OK, I'll see you in a little while then."

"See ya."

Leena walked away from the ocean. Instead, she walked toward the grand cliffs that jutted out from the land and reached towards the sea.

Though Bit was having a surfing contest with Leon and Jamie, his eyes wandered along the shore and spotted Leena walking towards the cliffs. He could feel his neck and face getting warm, despite the fact the ocean water was freezing. He had absolutely no idea why he felt like this every time he saw Leena. Unfortunately, he was so focused on Leena, he didn't see the wave coming at him.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

The wave totally wiped Bit off his board, and when he reached the surface and got back to shore, he saw Leon and Jamie trying very hard not to laugh, although their attempts were futile.

"Good lord, Bit! What happened out there?" Leon asked while laughing like an idiot.

"Yeah, I mean, you practically slammed into the wave. It was like you didn't even notice it!" Jamie commented.

"You looked like you were distracted. Anything on your mind?"

"N……no." Bit stuttered as he felt a blush creeping up his face.

"Really? You looked like you were looking at something, or someone." Jamie said narrowing his eyes at Bit.

"Wh-what?! Yeah right, I was just look-" Bit was cut off by Leon saying,

"You were looking at my sister weren't you, Bit?"

Bit's face started burning as Leon continued.

"She said she was going for a walk and I noticed she went towards the cliffs. I saw you looking in that same direction!"

Bit knew there was no denying it now.

"So what if I was?"

"You like her, don't you?" Bit was definitely not prepared for this when Leon asked him. He couldn't think of a single thing to say.

"Well, I suggest you catch up to her. She looked like she needed someone to talk to. Come on Jamie, wanna play volleyball?"

After Jamie and Leon left, Bit decided to take Leon's advice and go after her.

"Who knows, maybe she likes me……" Bit thought as he pulled on his shirt and started after her.

--------------------------------------

Leena thought the ocean never looked more beautiful from this point, she now understood why her mother had loved this place so much.

"I wish you were here mom." Leena chocked out, afraid she would start crying if she said anymore. Instead, she just pulled her knees to her chest and stared out at the ocean. Off in the distance, she saw her brother and Jamie playing volleyball and even though they couldn't see her, Leena saw Brad and Naomi talking together, really enjoying each other's company. She wished she had someone, she really needed to talk, but there was no one she could talk to. Except maybe that blonde-haired green-eyed warrior named Bit…… Leena's cheeks got red and she shook her head, but she couldn't get him out of her mind.

"Ugh, why can't I get that aggravating, blonde-haired, exceptionally cute guy out of my head? What? Cute? No, no, he's not cute. You did not just think that Leena. Besides, why would he even like you? He's awesome at Zoid battles and all you do is go waste ammo." Leena's head was a swirl of thoughts and she focused her attention back to the ocean.

After a while, she started thinking about her mom again, and this time, she was unable to stop the tears from flowing, and just started softly sobbing to herself.

-----------------------------

Bit saw Leena crying, though he was quite far away. He always had excellent eyesight.

"Hang on Leena, I'm coming." He thought as he ran towards her.

-----------------------------

Leena didn't notice anyone coming, so when Bit asked her what was wrong, she whirled around.

"Bit! You surprised me!" Leena exclaimed as she tried to hide the fact that she was crying.

"Hey, are you Okay?" Bit asked as he wiped some tears away with his hand. He could see her blushing.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine. Thanks."

"Leena, don't lie to me, something wrong and I'm not leaving until I know what it is." Bit told her and sat down, mentioning for her to sit besides him. Leena was about to argue but something told her to tell him.

"Well, you know how my mom is dead, right?"

"Yeah."

"This used to be her favorite place. Every summer, we used to come here. Until she-"

"Yeah, I know. It hurts doesn't it?"

Leena merely nodded as fresh tears flowed from her eyes. She was surprised when Bit drew her into his arms, and rested his chin on her head. They just sat there until Leena stopped crying. By then, the sun was setting and the sunset was beautiful. Bit and Leena both looked in awe at the golden rays sinking below the horizon.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" Leena whispered.

"Yeah, just like you."

Leena lifted her head, startled by what he said.

"Wh-what?"

Bit didn't say anything, except he gently titled her head towards his, and kissed her.
