Emily walked out of the Theatre. In the distance she heard the clock from Main Street ring 6. What an afternoon it had been. She had managed to finish blocking and choreographing the entire little kids show and had practiced her show all in the span of 5 hours. Not bad she thought, Now, to go find Lucas. She walked to her car and got in. Something seemed different, like something was missing. She looked in the back to find her gold poms (dancer's pom-poms) missing. She sighed as she picked up a note that was sitting where the poms once sat. Meet me at the Beach at 6:15. I know you'll be done by then. Lucas. She smiled as she started driving. He was up to something and she couldn't wait to find out what it was.
Emily walked toward the entrance of Two Brothers, Lucas' favorite surfing destination. He didn't even have to tell her where to go, she knew "Beach" meant surfing and surfing meant Two Brothers. As she walked down the stairs, she saw two familiar bodies out on the water. As she continued down the stairs, she saw another familiar face, one she was not so happy to see. As she turned to walk back up the stairs, she heard a voice call her name.
"Emily. Emily wait" She turned around to see Callie running behind her.
"What? Did you forget something last night?" Her cool attitude seemed uncharacteristic.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry about that, I have no reason to judge you and it was rude to. I was just caught off guard. I truly am sorry." Emily could sense some sincerity in her eyes, but was unsure.
"Whatever" she replied, deciding it was better to have a friend than an enemy "I'm used to it. Why do you think I don't go to Playa Linda High?" She smiled and walked toward the waters edge. "Lucas!" she screamed "Where the hell are my poms?" She heard a laugh come from one of the two figures out in the water. "You're lucky I'm in clothes or I'd swim out there and drown you" she yelled. She turned and walked back to the spot where Callie was sitting.
"He has something planned and I'm not so sure I like it anymore" she said to Callie as she sat next to her. Callie laughed.
The two boys emerged from the water, but stopped near the edge.
"Em, Come here, you have to see this" Lucas called
"You too Callie" Bradin echoed
Emily looked at Callie and Callie back at her. They both weren't so sure they liked the sound of this.
"Come on, its gunna move" Bradin yelled. Both boys were looking at something in the water.
Emily sighed and got up, quickly followed by Callie. "What is it?" she said as she approached Lucas.
"This" he said as he grabbed her and threw her into the oncoming waves. She felt his body on top of her as she hit the water. Callie, seeing what happened, turned to run, but Bradin got to her and soon they too were in the water.
"LUCAS!" Emily screeched, "I'm soak…" She didn't get to finish her sentence as he pushed her back into the water. She laughed as he began to tickle her.
A similar experience was happening between Bradin and Callie; she was now completely soaked and fighting to get up. Finally, she got Bradin off of her and began to get up. Emily was having no such luck; Lucas was sitting on top of her, his knees on either side of her waist. As much as she tried to fight him, he wouldn't move, or stop tickling her.
"Ha ha …Lucas, stop, ha ha" her laugh echoed. He leaned down and kissed her. She felt his tongue side past her teeth and hit her tongue. She used this as his moment of weakness and pushed him off her.
"Nice" He said as he tried to keep her down, but she was a step ahead of him and already on her feet.
"I Win" She said triumphantly as she high-fived Callie.
"Nice to see you two are friends again" Bradin said as he wrapped his arms around Callie. Lucas stood up and nodded.
"Yea, as long as she doesn't call me spoiled again" She shot Callie a glance as Lucas started kissing her neck. She giggled
"I never said that… oh my God Lucas, get a room" Callie said as she pushed him. A slight red mark appeared on Emily's neck, but soon vanished.
"If I have a mark Lucas, I'll kill you" Emily said as she turned to look at him with a dead serious expression. He quickly looked away. "Now I have to go home, since someone got me all wet" Callie nodded in agreement. The two walked toward their stuff.
"No you don't" Bradin said, "You can grab something at the shop, our stuff is already there." He looked at Emily "That is unless you can't stand wearing non-designer clothes"
"Do you want me to hit you or something?" she replied as she glared at him.
"No, Callie does enough of that" He replied and laughed
"Bradin!" she said and hit him
"I prove my case" he kissed her quickly, stopping her laughter. "Come on" He led the other 3 up the stairs and onto the pier.
The group passed all the littlestores on the pierand walked toward Jay's surf shop, Beyond the Wave. Emily stopped once she realized where they were going. Lucas noticed and grabbed her and led her in. She looked around, as if she was looking for something or someone.
"Hey Jay" Bradin yelled as he walked in. The Australian was no where to be seen but a muffled "hey" came from the backroom. A moment later Erika walked in from the backroom.
"Hey Kansas" She said as she walked toward the group. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw Emily.
