*~*~Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk.~*~*
The night grew dark as the tide came in. We all decided it would be best if we stayed inside for the remainder of the evening. Trunks sat on the porch watching the waves with Goten catching up on life. Karlie and I sat inside by the fireplace talking as well. "Serena?" Karlie asked from the kitchen. "Yeah?" I replied looking up from a magazine. "Do you want a drink? They've got everything back here." "Sure. I'll have a... lime margarita." "On the rocks?" "Sure." I said with a smile. "So. When are you going to ask Trunks out for a moonlight stroll along the beach?" As I turned the page, it ripped due to the sudden tension come over me. "I... I don't like talking about the moon." I dug my face into a page and started reading. "What is it with you and always hating the moon? Did a meteor hit your house as a child or something?" I turned and growled. "Those meteors were NEVER proven to have come from the Moon! It's not the Moon's fault!" Karlie blinked. "Anyways, here's your drink." Karlie said putting it on the counter. "Alright. Ill be there in a sec. I'm reading about how Trunks was abducted by brain stealing aliens in the National Enquirer." I said turning the page.
Trunks and Goten ran into the house laughing and Goten carrying a bucket of sand chasing Trunks. "Hey, don't get sand all over!" I yelled. Goten continued to chase Goten into his and Karlie's room. "DON'T GET SAND IN THE HOUSE!!" I yelled again. There was a crash and Goten gasped. "GOTEN!" Karlie hollered running to the room. I followed after her, throwing the magazine off to the side. When we entered the room, Goten was standing over the shattered glass. "Goten! What did you break!?" Goten turned to reveal that the window was completely busted out. "GOTEN!!" Karlie scolded. "Why didn't you listen to Serena!?" Goten's eyes began to water as he saw the anger building up in Karlie's eyes. "I-I'm sorry..." Karlie's heart sank at the moment. "Oh Goten!" She ran toward him and wraped her arms around his neck, embarrassing him tightly. "I'm not mad... I'm just... disappointed." (OH MY GOSH. THAT IS THE WORST WORD PARENTS CAN USE. The word disappointed should be BANNED!) Goten tucked his head between Karlie's neck and shoulder and sniffled.
I exited the room, deciding it was a good time for Karlie and Goten to have some alone time. The floor creaked as I walked into the room Trunks and I were staying in, which happened to be the master bedroom. I sorted through my clothes, putting out my bikini for tomorrow. I glanced around, noting the fresh towels and bath robes from the maid service. (Oh come on, did you think we weren't going to have this kind of crap!) "I hope sharing a bed doesn't bother you." Trunks said entering the room. "Why would it?" I asked taking a few pairs of shirts out of the drawer. Trunks kicked his shoes off and at the closet. "I don't know, I was just making sure." I nodded and closed the dresser drawers. "You're not still mad at me are you?" Trunks said walking over to his dresser and taking out a pair of pajama shorts. "No, why would I? Do I seem mad?" I asked sitting on the side of the bed, taking my ear rings out, and setting them on the night stand. "No, you don't seem mad, I was just checking to make sure I wouldn't wake up and fall into a hole in the floor lined with sharp objects." He said walking to the door. "Nah. I like you too much to let you fall into a hole. I might just tie you up and put you out in the water when the tide starts to go out." Trunks laughed and walked out of the room.
When he came back, he was in his black pajama shorts and a white T- shirt. I had changed into a pair of dark purple pajama shorts as well, with a white tank top. "I'm going to go check on Karlie. See if they need help switching rooms. I told them they could take the room a few doors down from us. That other master bedroom." I said walking past Trunks. "Alright. I'm just going to sit in here and read until you get back." He said walking to his side of the bed and grabbing a book off of the night stand. "Kae." I replied walking out. (don't ask, I spell 'OK', 'Kae'...)
I walked into Karlie's room with my arms folded. "Hello? Anyone in here?" The room was silent and darker than a few minutes before. "Karlie? Goten? Helloooooo?" I said peering around corners. "OK, this is NOT funny you guys. Come out now before I start rummaging." I threw open their bathroom door and flipped on the light. There I found the love engulfed couple on the floor making out furiously. "OH MY GOSH!!" I screamed slamming the door and pressing my back up against it. Trunks ran into the room a few seconds after. "What's the matter?" Trunks asked sprinting up to me. I made the 'shhhh' sound and pressed my fingers to my lips. Trunks began to whisper. "Whats wrong.....?" I pointed to the door and whispered, "They're in there... on the floor... making out..." Trunks laughed and nudged me out of the way. When he opened the door, they were still at it. "Hang on a sec." Trunks left the room and came back with the fire hose. "Trunks, don't! That's cruelty to animals!" I said laughing. Trunks turned the nozzle and sprayed Goten with the pressure on full blast. "AYE AYE AYE!!" Goten yelled shielding his face from the water.
Karlie scooted off into the corner scoweling. "Just a tip, lock the doors before you decide to go at it. Some people could walk in and interrupt." Trunks grinned. "Geez. Jerk. I'll hose you down next time." Goten said wiping his face. "Damn it all, Trunks." Karlie said ringing out her hair. "Hey, you have to learn the hard way!" Trunks said walking back out with the hose. "S-Sorry you guys... I tried to stop him..." I said with a flushed expression and walked out.
After everything settled down, we all went to bed and slept through the night. When I awoke, the sun was shining through the window across from me. Trunks was already out of bed when I woke up. The clock read 10:00 AM. "Whoa..." I said astonished. I got up and put on my swim suit. Soon after, I went outside to find the boys running around in the water. "Good morning, sleepy head!" Karlie said from her beach towel. "Good morning." I said walking over to the towel set out next to her. "How long have you been awake?" I asked reaching for the sunscreen. "Since about seven. But I suppose I lost track." Karlie said with a smile. "It's great here, isn't it?" She added looking around. "Sure is." I said throwing the bottle to my left. "I'm going to go get some iced tea. You want some, Sere?" Karlie asked standing up. "Yes please. Can you grab me a bag of chips or something too? I'm kinda hungry." Karlie grinned. "Chips, aye? I'll make you something GREAT! You don't need chips! It goes to your hips anyways!" She said running into the house with an ecstatic expression on her face. "Oh dear..." I said watching her leave. "Hey, Sere!" Trunks yelled from the water. "What?" "Come and play with Goten and I!" I shook my head. "Not yet, let me wake up a little." Trunks pouted. "Pleeeeeeasse?" "In a few minutes!" I shouted. "Sereeena!" He cried out. "TRUNKS! DON'T MAKE ME COME OUT THERE!" "Hehe! Would you?"
Karlie came outside 20 minutes later with a tray of food. "Is that all for me?" I asked digging my toes out of the sand. "No... there was more... but I got hungry in the process and..." She began. "Don't worry about it. Thats great. Remember, I was just going to have chips in the first place." "Indeed..." she said scratching her head with the other hand holding the tray. Goten jumped out of the water quickly and sniffed around the plate. "Is that for me, sugar bear?" Goten asked glancing up. "No... it's for Serena." She said swatting his hands off the plate. "Thanks." I said as she lowered the plate to the ground. "Goten, go play. Leave Serena alone. No begging." Karlie said pushing him off. "BUT! BUT!" Goten began to claw his way back to the food. "NO! GET MOVING!" Karlie said pushing him through the sand.
After I finished eating, I decided to go play with the guys. Karlie counts as one of the 'guys'. I put my foot into the water and wiggled it around a little. "Don't worry! It feels nice!" Trunks said wading in the water. "I know, I just want to get used to it." I said pointing a finger at him. I got in waist deep and started to swim out to everyone. "Serena! Think fast!" Karlie yelled throwing a crab at my head. I caught it fast and looked at the ugly thing. "Dah. That's gross, Karlie!" Karlie stood in amazement of how fast I caught the crab. (...Almost spelt 'crap'...) "How did you catch that!? That was my fast ball!" Karlie said. "Um... I pratice playing baseball with the guys sometimes..." I said throwing the crab into the horizon. Trunks snuck up behind me and dunked me under. I pulled at his arms and legs, little bubbles excaping my mouth in the process. Karlie and Goten watched as my arms and legs flew up in the air from the water. "Dear God... What is he DOING?" Goten asked watching water fly everywhere. Trunks let go and I floated to the top again. I turned and splashed Trunks in the face. "Take THAT!" I said wiping my eyes. The 'splash' engulfed his body and sent him a few inches backwards. Karlie soon jumped onto my back, dragging me back under. Goten dived under and clasped onto Trunk's legs pulling him down as well. I rolled to the top of the water, forcing Karlie down. I pushed off of her with my foot and swam away at a reasonable pace. I wanted to go easy on her. Humans.
Trunks and Goten wrestled in the water trying to out do the other in a watery rage. Karlie tried to catch up with me, but every time I swam away underwater. "Serena! That's not fair! You're faster than me!" I came up from underwater and looked at her. "Giving up?" "You're too fast!!" Karlie said panting. "Nah, you're not trying hard enough! Wimp!" I said splashing her. "Hey hey hey!" She yelled shielding her face. "Not fair! Not fair at all!" Karlie said starting to pout. "Oh suck it up!" I yelled splashing her. Karlie turned and swam back to Goten in a little fit. "Oh brother. What a sissy!" I said swimming after her.
Goten and Trunks were under water and still fighting. I dove under and split up the two. They both came floating up to the top, panting hard. "Goten!" Karlie said lunging over to him and clasping him in her arms. "What's the matter, Kar?" Goten asked looking down at her. "Everyone is better than me! It's not fair!" Karlie sobed rubbing her face on Goten's shoulder. Goten rubbed his hands on Karlie's back. "It's alright... Just... sit out when you feel out done." Karlie looked up at Goten. "Out done? What is THAT supposed to mean!?" Goten gulped and made a sheepish smile. "Um.. eheh... If it feels like... um... you are over powered...?" Karlie glared at Goten and pushed off of him. "Excuse me. I feel over powered. I'll be sitting on my towel if anyone wants to talk to this weakling." Karlie said swimming back to the shore. Goten stood silently. "Great job, Goten. You ARE smooth with the ladies." Trunks said nudging him.
"Shut up, Trunks! It's not my fault she's a human!" "Maybe it is! Everything else is usually your fault too!" Trunks said punching him in the shoulder. "SHUT UP, TRUNKS!" Goten yelled turning and punching him back. "Girly punch! Who taught you that one? Your mom?" Trunks said with an antagonizing grin on his face. "TRUNKS! I'M GOING TO KICK YOU SQUARE IN THE NUTS HERE IN A SECOND!!" Goten shouted pointing at him with a scolding tone. "Oooooo! That is if you have the balls to come and do it! Chicken!" Trunks hollared putting his hands under his arms and clucking. Goten clenched his fists and tackled Trunks underwater. Trunks quickly pulled him off and punched him in the side. They both surfaced and exchanged dirty looks. Goten swam back to shore to confront Karlie leaving Trunks and I out in the water.
A little later, we all decided to go inside to take a nap. It was about 2:00 PM, just the right napping hour. Goten and Karlie layed on one couch and Trunks and I layed on the other one. Since there was no TV, we all had to entertain ourselves. "I spy with my little eye something that is blue." Goten yawned out. "The water..." I said rubbing my eyes. "Yep..." Goten said stretching. "Thats the third time you've done water, Goten... I think we need a new game." Trunks said leaning his head on the arm rest. The room was silent as we all began to think of a new game. "How about the napping game..." Karlie said cuddling around Goten's chest. "Yeah... that's a great game." I said doing the same to Trunks. Soon we all fell asleep and slept for a couple of hours. Little did we know our vacation had barely begun.
Lin-Lin: Ahoy all! How is it? Greeeeaaat. Isn't Trunks great? I tried to make him a little more out going in my story. I think it does him justice. Anyways, Just wanted to tell you guys that who ever figures out what Trunks is up to get the next chapter dedicated to them! Karlie, you don't count! You know what's going on! Cheater! Hmm. So look out for the next exciting episode of THROUGH HER EYES! (Sorry... watching Dragon Ball...)
The night grew dark as the tide came in. We all decided it would be best if we stayed inside for the remainder of the evening. Trunks sat on the porch watching the waves with Goten catching up on life. Karlie and I sat inside by the fireplace talking as well. "Serena?" Karlie asked from the kitchen. "Yeah?"
