It was 2 a.m. and Miracle Strip closed at 11p.m. so Violet, Cye, Mia, and Kento were back at the house getting ready for bed. Cye was already asleep in his room, Kento was in his watching T.V. Mia was sound asleep in her room, the master bedroom. Violet was in the shower. After she finished her shower Violet headed to bed herself. She wondered when everyone else would return. She laid in bed awake with intentions to wait up for the others but she soon succumbed to sleep. Back at the club, the rest of the group continued partying. The club would close in exactly one hour. Now over at the Bar, Ryo and Dawn were talking. Neither of them bought a drink. Dawn wanted to so badly but she knew they wouldn't let her buy one, her being underage and all.
"Where are you from?" Ryo asked.
"I live here, well, not in Florida. I mean America. In Alabama."
Ryo nodded, "Alabama borders Florida, correct?"
Dawn nodded and Ryo smiled, "Your friends too?"
Dawn nodded again and he laughed, "Is that all I'm going to get out of you for the rest of the night, a nod?" he joked.
She shook her head `no' this time and grinned, amused by her own reaction. Ryo smiled again and put his arm around her shoulders, resting the elbow of his other arm on the Bar. They sat there watching the crowd as they talked.
Meanwhile, Crystal and Sage were dancing, having the time of their lives in La Vela. Crystal admitted silently to herself that she was attracted to him but she sensed something between him and Violet earlier at the beach. She wouldn't dare go after a guy that any of her friends were interested in. She was grateful that the stupid wet t-shirt contest was over and Sage wouldn't have that glazed over look on his face anymore.
"Exactly what part of Japan are you guys from?" she asked.
"We're from Tokyo. Well we're all from different parts of Japan but we're living there together now at Mia's grandfather's old house."
Crystal laughed, "Is it as big as the one here?"
Sage nodded, "It'd have to be for six people and one gigantic tiger to live together."
Crystal's eyes widened, "A tiger?"
Sage smiled, "Yep."
"Who's tiger is it?"
"White Blaze, the tigers name, belongs to Ryo." He answered.
"Is it tame?" Crystal asked.
Sage laughed, "As gentle as a kitten."
Crystal silently scolded herself, `It'd have to be tame to live with humans silly', "I like cats," she replied.
"Well then you'd love White Blaze," Sage said, "He's a crazy tiger, pounce on you and lick your face to death, but he's good to have around."
Crystal smiled, "I bet you guys would have a heck of a time if you had brought him here."
Sage laughed, "Security at the airport would have a fit."
Crystal laughed as well, imagining what the scene would have looked like at the airport with a tiger there.
Outside, Rowen and Asa stood quietly. Asa leaned against the railing staring up at the sky, which was blanketed with millions of stars. Rowen leaned against the wall of the club and watched her. The full moon rested low in the sky behind them. In a few hours the sun would be peeking out, its rays reflected by the ocean. The silence between them was making Rowen a little nervous, they hadn't talked much after he had kissed her. And that was hours ago. He walked up to the railing next to her and looked up at the stars. Asa was the first to break the silence.
"Beautiful night isn't it?" she remarked, her eyes still watching the stars.
Rowen turned his head to look at her face, "Yeah, it is. But I'm more intrigued by the beauty watching them than the stars themselves."
Asa blushed and looked at him, their eyes met, "Thank you Rowen, that was really sweet."
"About the kiss Asa," Rowen began, "I want to apologize if I upset you..."
Asa shook her head and smiled, interrupting him, "You didn't Rowen."
"I was a little worried that I did. You've been so quiet." He said.
Asa laughed softly and pointed out that he had been too.
"I was too busy admiring you from a distance," he said quietly.
Asa blushed again. She leaned back against him, her head resting on his shoulder.
Inside La Vela, Sage and Crystal had found Ryo and Dawn over by the Bar. The four were ready to head home, the club would close soon.
"Have either of you seen Rowen or Asa?" Sage asked Ryo and Dawn. Ryo and Dawn both said no.
"We've been looking for them everywhere." Crystal replied.
"Maybe they left already." Dawn suggested.
"The house is a long walk away." Sage said, "They couldn't have."
Right after Sage said that, Rowen and Asa walked over.
"Hi guys," Rowen said cheerfully.
"We were looking all over for you two," Crystal said.
Asa smiled, "We were out back."
"Oh." Crystal said, "Hey Stardust, did you hear that remix to "Everybody"?"
Asa laughed, "Sure did, Wasn't it awesome!"
Crystal nodded, "Yup."
Ryo looked at his watch, "Maybe we should leave now," he suggested.
Everyone else agreed, except Asa. She wanted to stay longer but she left with them anyway.
They spent thirty minutes stuck in the traffic before finally arriving back at the house. Everyone was really tired except Asa. While everyone else headed for bed she sat downstairs in the den and watched the Discovery Channel until she finally drifted off to sleep at 5 a.m., right after daybreak.
~Morning~
Cye was in the kitchen cooking breakfast for everyone when Crystal walked in, still in the clothes she wore to bed which was a light blue smiley face t-shirt and matching shorts.
"G'morning Cye." She said, yawning.
Cye turned around, a spatula in his hand, "Oh, hello Crystal."
Crystal smiled, "I woke up to the wonderful smells coming from here."
"Hungry?" Cye asked.
"Yeah," Crystal said nodding.
"It'll be ready in a second." Cye replied.
"Need any help with anything?" Crystal asked.
Cye shook his head, "Nah, I got it."
Crystal laughed, glancing back in the den.
Curious, Cye asked what she was laughing at, Crystal smirked, "Asa."
Cye smiled, "Oh, yeah. I thought about waking her up but didn't have the heart to. What'd you guys do last night? Just La Vela?"
Crystal nodded, "Yeah."
"She must've gotten drunk or something." Cye replied.
"Nah," Crystal replied, "Just didn't want to come back home so I guess she sat there all night watching T.V. She probably won't wake up until this afternoon."
Cye laughed, "Rowen is like that all the time. Sleeps like a rock. No matter how hard you try, you just can't get him up."
Crystal walked over to the stove where Cye was standing and looked over his shoulder at all the food he was preparing. There was bacon, scrambled eggs, grits, french toast, biscuits, waffles, and pancakes galore. Her eyes widened, "Gosh that's a lot of food. I want to help you, just tell me something to do."
Cye shrugged, "Okay then. I guess you can go ahead and clear the table and put some of the stuff that's done on the table."
Crystal did as told, happy to help. She cleared the table and put napkins, silverware, plates and glasses in their appropriate places. Then, she placed to plates of food in the middle of the table. Done, she turned on the radio. A song Crystal liked was playing. She didn't realize it but she had begun to dance to the music, lost in it. Cye turned the stove off and was leaning against it, watching her. His eyes taking in every move. As quick as the song had begun, it ended. Cye whistled and Crystal blushed.
Cye smirked, "You are a good dancer. It makes me regret not going clubbing last night."
Crystal laughed, a little nervous, "Maybe you should plan to go the next time."
"I think I will," Cye smiled.
"Maybe I should go back upstairs and change," she said and began walking towards the stairs. Sage passed her on the way and gave her an approving glance. Crystal blushed and stepped into her room and quietly shut the door behind her. Moments later she emerged wearing a white halter top and a pair of jeans. She passed by Kento's room on the way back and giggled. He was snoring up a storm. Back downstairs, Sage was kneeling in front of the couch about to wake up Asa. Crystal walked into the kitchen to see if Cye needed anymore help.
~In the Den~
Sage lightly shook Asa's shoulder with his hand. She didn't stir at all. He shook a little harder and she mumbled something he couldn't quite hear. He smirked when he got an idea to wake her up, he shook the whole couch so violently that Asa was jolted awake.
"Earthquake!" she screeched. She stopped screaming when she saw Sage on the floor, rolling with laughter and she scowled, "Sage! That was mean!"
She pouted and started to walk upstairs, intending on locking herself in her room for a few hours and sleeping peacefully but Sage stopped her halfway up the stairs, picked her up and carried her back to the couch. Asa crossed her arms across her chest, Sage was still laughing.
"That wasn't funny Sage!" Asa exclaimed. Cye and Crystal had peeked into the den to see what all the commotion was about but soon resumed their work in the kitchen.
Sage chuckled, "I'm sorry but I had to get you up some way."
"I was fine sleeping!" Asa laid back onto the couch but Sage snatched the pillow away before she could rest her head on it, "SAGE!"
"You need to wake up sleepy head. I think I know why you're called Stardust now." He laughed.
"If your going to start calling me that now, I might as well call you Mushroom Head for that big chunk of hair you got."
"Hey!" Sage protested, "I like my hair." The pillow was in Sage's lap, Asa took advantage of him not paying attention to it and tried to snatch it back but he was too fast and threw it behind him. He grabbed her by the wrists and almost dragged her into the kitchen. She fought him and he picked her up, walking into the kitchen easily.
"You don't need to skip breakfast little lady Stardust." Sage replied, setting her back down.
Asa frowned, "But I wanna sleep `Shroom Head!" Cye and Crystal were watching the two with interest. Asa pouted and sat down in a seat at the table. Soon after, Ryo, Kento, Violet, Rowen, Mia, and Dawn entered the kitchen and sat down at the huge table and began eating breakfast. Crystal, Asa, Violet, and Dawn loved Cye's cooking. Everyone had different plans for the afternoon. Cye and Crystal were gonna hit the beach. Violet, Sage, Kento, Rowen, Mia, and Asa were going to stay at the house and just hang out. Ryo and Dawn going to eat out at Shuckums , an Oyster Bar, for lunch in a few hours.
~the Beach~
Cye and Crystal walked until they found a spot that wasn't very crowded. The two waded into the warm salty ocean water.
"Hey Crys, um...do you care if I call you that?" Cye asked, looking at her.
She smiled and shook her head and he continued, "Thanks for helping me out this morning."
"No problem." Crystal replied, "You're a great cook."
Cye blushed, "Thank you."
"How'd you learn? Did you teach yourself?" she asked.
"Nah," Cye answered, "My mom and older sister taught me."
"Oh." Crystal replied, "Could you teach me?"
Cye nodded, "Sure. I'd love to."
Crystal smiled, "Great!"
Cye looked out at something close by in the water. They were waist deep by now. The form Cye spotted was long and gray. A dolphin! He pointed it out to Crystal, "Let's see if it will come over here."
Crystal was a little nervous, "Will it hurt us?"
Cye laughed, "Nah, they are gentle creatures." He slapped the water several times (authors note: the sound vibrations from slapping the water usually attracts a dolphin to the source of the sound. Its cool. I've tried it before.) and the dolphin switched directions and curiously swam towards the two. As it approached, Cye ran his hand over the dolphin and urged Crystal to do the same. She placed a shaky hand on the dolphin as it swam past and she smiled.
"It felt like silk!" She exclaimed and Cye smiled. Crystal then spotted a huge jellyfish in the water and shrieked, jumping up into Cye's arms. Cye laughed, holding onto her.
"Now that's something to be afraid of." Cye said smiling, "They hurt like hell."
"They seem to be attracted to me," Crystal said, "Every time I go to a beach, I always get stung, no matter what."
Cye chuckled, "Poor thing."
"Poor thing is correct!" Crystal exclaimed, "They hurt!"
"I know." Cye said, he realized he was still holding her and blushed, "The jellyfish is gone now. Maybe it's safe for you to get back in the water." He didn't make any move to set her back into the water though, she was giving him this......look. A look that was driving him crazy, a look that made him want to kiss her. He tilted his head slightly and their lips met.
~Shuckums~
Sitting in the back corner booth of the small restaurant were Ryo and Dawn. The place was really neat to look at. Dollar bills which had been colored on or signed by various people had been stapled all over the walls, completely covering them. Peoples names were carved all into the tables. The restaurants slogan "We shuck `em you suck `em" was on a banner outside of the place.
Ryo smiled, "What a unique looking place huh?"
Dawn agreed, "Yep, sure is."
A waitress soon took their order. Dawn ordered a Caesar salad and Ryo ordered Shrimp and Oysters. Dawn scrunched up her nose at the mention of oysters.
"Gross!" Dawn replied.
"Nah, oysters are pretty good. I eat them every chance I get." Ryo said, laughing. "You know, you look cute when you make that face."
Dawn smirked, "Yeah right. But Ryo, why oysters? They're so slimy!"
"Different people have different tastes I guess." He said.
"Oysters are just so...icky!" Dawn exclaimed.
It didn't take long for their food to get to them. Dawn eyed Ryo's oysters and shook her head in disgust. Ryo just smiled at her and began eating, Dawn did the same.
"How about we sign our names on a dollar later and have them put it up?" Ryo suggested.
Dawn thought that'd be a cool idea.
