Author note..by the author: Wow, reviewers! Kewl! I wubbles you all so very much! *throws donuts to the crowd* This is the first time I've ever done chapters and stuff. I think I'm only going to do four, since soon I won't even be able to be by the computer. Don't worry guys, you're halfway there!

Have anyone realized how little stories their are in Trigun that *don't* have a new made up character? It's so hard to deal with. I hate new characters. They always seem to be female though, who win Vash's heart. Please, come up with a new idea before I jump off a damn bridge! Okay, done venting ^_^ Now be a good little boy/girl and read.

The summer is calling

Take a trip up to the beach,
let the sunshien in your heart,
makes you feel good, makes you smile,
be free and let yourself go.

Take a look up to the stars,
they are shining bright tonight,
makes you feel good, makes you smile,
makes you feel like flying away.

The summer is calling your name,
and it feels, and it feels like in heaven.

"Two hundred and eighty-seven cups of pudding on the wall! Two hundred and eighty-seven cups of pudding! Pass it around, swallow it down! Two hundred and eighty-six cups of pudding on the wall!" Milly sang at the top of her lungs, shouting it outside, so the people in the surrounding four towns could hear clearly. "Come on Mr. Woofwood, Vash-san, sempai! Sing with me. Two hundred and eighty-six cups of pudding on the wall..."

The only one who joined in with her was Wolfwood, as he moved the clutch into fifth gear and flew down the dirt road, leaving clouds of smoke behind them. Behind the singing duo, the unfortunate passengers held their hands to their ears. Meryl, who was gazing at Vash's arm with a sudden realization, pulled it towards her.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Vash asked curiously, his arm yanked across her lap as she began to fiddle with his fingers, her expression looking as if she was trying to figure something out.

"I know there's a gun in there! Give me the gun!" Meryl screamed, beginning to pull at Vash's arm with fury, as the song began at two hundred and sixty-seven cups of pudding on the wall (two hundred and thirty-three less cups of pudding then what they started out with.) Vash started to pull back, screaming at the thought.

"No Meryl no! Killing is bad! Bad!"

"Everyone has to be bad sometime!" Meryl yelled back, yanking harder at his arm.

"Remember what this car is made of!? Remember!"

Meryl sighed and let the arm go, returning it back to its proper natural position. She growled turning her back on Vash and looking out the window, muttering to the breeze, teeth bared.

"Yeah yeah..love and peace. Love and peace. I'd love it if you'd make them peaceful..."

Vash looked at the back of her head with a sigh, trying to block out the wail of notes the front passengers were singing. Coming up with an idea, she shuffled through the basket, looking for one of the things he packed. Meryl watched interestedly through the reflection of the window, tilting her head a bit.

"What are you looking for Va-Mmph!?" She asked, turning her head around. The sweet taste entered her mouth before she could finish, and she looked down at it. Pulling out a glazed donut between her lips, she examined it, then Vash with an apprehensive look. He sat there, laughing a bit, smiling goofily.

"Well, donuts always have worked to cheer me up..." Laughing nervously, Vash scratched the back of his head and looked up at Meryl, his uniquely green eyes shining with humor and innocents. "I thought it might have the same effect on you."

Meryl pale pink lips curved in a smile, breaking off a piece of the donut and chewing on it, savoring the taste.

I can almost see why he likes it so much, it is pretty good...

Swallowing, she gave a true smile.

"Thank you Vash."

"No problem Meryl. Isn't that what friends are for?"

"Look look! We're here! We're here sempai, Vash-san!" Milly bounced around, pointing outside her window.

The sky was a forget-me-never blue, with the blazing sun at its highest point in the sky. Birds cried out and circling around in the air, in search for abandoned food. The sun's rays fell against the white sand, and the ocean blue. Even at the distance you could hear children yelling and playing in the water, and boats far out to sea. Colored blankets and umbrellas gave the scene a multitude of color, and far off on the side an old man was selling ice cream to beach goers. It was a strange sight to behold on the planet, but beautiful in its unique and rare beauty.

"Wow, I've never seen so much water in one area before..."Wolfwood laughed, parking the car at a nearby in a strangely paved parking lot.

"I know Mr. Wolfwood, it's so pretty. The ocean is like a huge cup of pudding, blue, with the children as little sprinkles in different color..." Milly added, leaning out the window, and pointing.

"Please Milly, can we not talk about pudding ever again.." Meryl asked, covering her eyes in the fear of having to hear about another five hundred cups.

"First one to water is a rotten egg!" Vash laughed, kicking off his shoes in the car and picking them up in his hands. He pushed the car door open.

"Wait! Vash! No, don't do that the surface is-" Meryl tried to warn him, before he stood on the cement. Vash jumped down and looked, towards the floor, before screaming and running around, hoping back and forth.

"AHHHH! Hot Hot Hot! Help! Pain! Heat! My feet! Ow ow ow!"

"I don't think he'll ever learn..."Wolfwood muttered, lighting up another cigarette and grabbing the basket. "Ready to go honey?" He asked, walking over to the side of the car, and opening the door for Milly. She blushed slightly, and climbed out of the car, carrying blankets and towels. "I'm ready. Sempai?"

Meryl climbed out of the car, shutting it with a snap. Grabbing the last of the things, a large colorful umbrella to protect them from the sun's rays, she held it with her small bit firm grip. Walking over to the happy couple, she nodded.

"Yeah, I'm ready." Meryl smiled up at Milly and Wolfwood, turning in the way of the beach.

Ahead, they could hear Vash still screaming, bouncing around on the innocently looking but scalding heated sand. His broom like hair could be spotted running down to the water, and jumping in a little boy's sand castle moat. Cooling his feet, Vash walked away content, leaving the boy to glare at the man and start refilling the water.

Vash waved the group forward to a large patch of unoccupied sand. There is where they set up their little beach retreat, laying the blanket down and putting up the umbrella. They set their basket down on the sides of the blanket, and in a short while were complete.

Milly pulled off her dress, and tossed it safely in the basket. Under it was a simple yellow polka dot bikini, small enough to turn the heads of males in a visual range. Several men started their way towards the blankets, but Wolfwood quickly stood by her side, glaring a warning to anyone who dared try and sneak a glance. Milly stayed blissfully unaware of the admires she was collecting, as she waved Vash and Meryl on.

"Come on, who wants to come to the water with me? Sempai? Vash-san?"

"I'll come." Vash perked up, smiling hugely and hooking an arm around Milly's arm in a friendly way. A deadly glare by Wolfwood, and Vash quickly added, "I mean, only because I like the water and it has nothing to do with tiny bikinis in any way, PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!"

Laughing slightly, Meryl sat down on the blanket and laid back, for once taking the time to enjoy the sun.

"I'll stay here. I join you guys later. Take care of Milly for me you two."

"Aww sempai, I don't need to be taken care of. I'm old enough." Milly whining in a way that discredited what she had just said.

"Come on! Waves! Surfs up!" Vash yelled, pulling Milly and Wolfwood to the water's edge. Meryl watched and laughed, blushing slightly.

Making sure everyone was deep in the water and staring around quickly to avoid lookers, Meryl pulled off her own dress. She examined her own two-piece bathing suit with distaste, feeling overdressed and old after comparing it with Milly, who was currently in a splashing fight with the two males. Sighing, Meryl pulled out some sun screen, and began to add some lotion to her hands. Rubbing it to her arms, a sudden shadow towered over her and a voice rang through the air.

"You want some help with that Miss?"
