Thank you to Celeste for her help with the editing XD


The group began piling up their bags, tents, and the food and cooking equipment. Once they had unloaded the boat they knew there was no turning back.

"I guess we can pretty much set up camp anywhere," Himiko said as she looked around.

"Not too close the water," Micah warned, "we might end up in the middle of the ocean in our sleep!"

Heero rolled his eyes, his sisters drove him nuts, like poison ivy only worse...

"I wonder if there are any other people here," Celeste wondered out loud.

As if on cue two identical twin girls walked up. They both had shoulder length bright red hair, green eyes, white tank tops and red shorts.

"Hi, we're looking for other people who are spending the week end here." Said one of the girls.

"Our friends, and us too, wanted to set up camp near other people, maybe get to know someone new." The other twin said with a wink.

"We're staying here too," Duo said with a grin. "And we'd *love* to get to know you." He added.

Scarlet pursed her lips and folded her arms over her chest.

The first twin smiled, "I was hoping there would be more guys, I uh, I mean more people, here."

"Why don't you grab your stuff and follow us? We'll take you to where we're camping out." The second twin said.

The first one nodded. "And this way no one has to be alone."

"Though alone doesn't sound half bad to me..." Nozomi trailed off and winked at Heero.

Everyone grabbed their stuff and trekked through the sand after the twins, who yes, are still very nameless.



Next Scene

The group made their way to an area with a bunch of palm trees and some more teens who had already begun setting up camp.

"Hey, we actually found some other people," the first twin said, still nameless I'm afraid.

"Cool," said a guy with spiked black hair and a big grin.

A girl with hip length blonde hair and deep blue eyes walked up pulling a rolling suit case behind her. A guy with purple hair fallowed behind her carrying her other suit case.

"Um, how about introduction time?" Scarlet suggested.

"Sure thing!" Said one of the twins. "My name is Umi."

"And I'm Pearl," the other twin replied. "That's Trunks," she said pointing to the purple haired guy.

"I'm Gohan," the black haired and really cute guy said.

"My name is Lilly," the blonde said with a smile.

The rest of the group introduced themselves, seeing as there were so many names.

"Well, how about we start setting up tents?" Kitoshi suggested.

"Sure," Carrot replied as he grabbed some poles. (Ah heh yeah I told you people would just pop up, though it only really seems so if you haven't read in a while. Gomen ne.)

Heero also began setting up poles and easily set up his tent. Wufei was close in second, setting his up next to Heero's.

Scarlet and Micah mean while were struggling with their's.

"Alright, we put the poles through and attached to the tent it's self." Scarlet said as she bit down on her lip.

"But we don't have the part where it stays up." Micah said with a sigh.

"Nozomi and I have already got our's up," Menz said proudly.

Nozomi nodded and leaned against the main pole in the front, and caused the whole tent to collapse.

"Whoops...." Nozomi said as she sweat dropped. "I really didn't mean to do that."

Heero laughed, "you want some help?"

"Nope," Menz replied.

Celeste and Himiko were slowly setting up their tent.

"Pass the sun block," Celeste said from where she sat on the sand, putting metal poles together.

"Wouldn't rather wait until we're on the beach and you're in your bathing suit?" Himiko asked.

Celeste shook her head, "Nah., I might get sun burn. I'll put more on later, one can never have too much sun block."

"Good point," Himiko replied.

"Hey Duo, will you help us?" Scarlet asked as she batted her eyes.

"Sure," Duo replied with a smile.

"I thought you were going to help me," Pearl said as she frowned.

"Well, I..." Duo trailed off as he looked from girl to girl.

"Fine, whatever." Scarlet said as she turned her back on him.

"I never actually said I would help you," Duo said to Pearl.

"But you didn't say no either." She replied as she put her hands on her hips.

"Well, let's do it this way, I'll help out Scarlet and you ask someone else, there are plenty of other guys." Duo said quickly.

Pearl pouted but ended up asking Trunks for help.



Next Scene

After they had set up their tents, it was time to hit the beach.

"One thing though," Kokurami said as she took out her bathing suit and sandals. "Where are we going to get changed?"

A huge grin spread across Heero's face.

"No," Scarlet said before he could say a word. "We can get dressed in our tents, and no peeking guys. And yes, I mean *guys*."

"We know how dirty your mind can be," James snickered.

"Shoosh, don't you say a word," Heero hissed.

"What is he talking about?" Nozomi asked Heero.

"Eh heh, ya know.... You know... Yeah, you know..." Heero trailed off as he scratched his head.

"No. I don't know. Care to explain?" Nozomi said sweetly.

"That stuff guys talk about, jeeze, you'd think I said something about naked chicks." Heero scoffed.

Nozomi stuck out her tongue and grabbed her bag. The rest of the teens all went to their shared and not shared tents to change.

"Hmm I wonder if Heero will wear a speedo," Nozomi said with a grin.

"Oh gosh, come on, I don't wanna think like that." Menz said a she made a face.

Once everyone had finished changing they all met on the beach.

Scarlet had on a two piece red bathing suit, she set up her white beach chair and sat down with a magazine. Micah wore a one piece pink suit, and quickly set out to dive into the water. Nozomi and Menz where close behind her.

Lilly had on a stunning glitter covered blue bikini. She laid out on her towel, she like Scarlet, didn't seem interested in going into the water.

"Come on Scarlet, come swim with me," Duo begged.

Scarlet shook her head. "No thanks, I think I'll just get a tan."

"I second that, it so much better on land, away from the water. But near the guys of course," Lilly said as she flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder.

Duo sighed, "well, you leave me no choice." And with that he scooped Scarlet up in his arms and carried her to the water.

"Hey, don't get me wet!" She yelped.

He grinned and dropped her into an incoming wave. She went under and came back up with sea weed in her hair. "Not funny. Not even one bit." She growled as he laughed.

Scarlet was soon grinning too, and she grabbed him by the ankles and pulling him down with a plop into the water.

"He's cute," Pearl said to her sister. "I want him."
