Summary: The kids move to Playa Linda and start at new schools. What happens when Amber and her older sister both fall for Bradin, how will Nikki handle her best friend liking her brother? Much drama and suspense will surely result.
Note: I do not own Summerland or any of the characters from the show. I only own those characters not from the show.
Bradin, Nikki, and Derrick arrived at the home of their Aunt Ava. Just a week ago, their parents had died in a flood back in Kansas, leading to the children to move to California. Everyone was unsure of what to expect in the upcoming year. They entered the house and looked around. It was a big place and was nothing like what they had expected. This was nothing like Kansas.
"Bradin and Derrick will share a room down here and Nikki will get the room upstairs" Ava stated, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"I want the three of you to meet everyone before you go do anything" Ava added on.
"Ok, I guess …what is there to do around here?" Bradin replied in an uneasy tone. He was really popular back in Kansas and wanted to continue that in Playa Linda. He wanted to meet people and fit in.
"You should go walk around later after you unpack and meet some people. Lots of kids your age hang out around the beach." Ava responded, trying to cheer him up.
"Sounds good" Bradin said while looking around his new house once more.
Johnny, Susannah, and Jay all walked in and introduced themselves. The kids did the same. No one said much, and soon everyone went their own way.
……
Nikki decided to go sit down by the beach and read a book. She didn't feel like doing much of anything else since her parents died. Reading helped her to escape from all that is going on in her life; besides, she enjoyed learning and school.
'School, crap that starts soon' Nikki thought to herself.
She sat out there for what seemed like hours until she saw a shadow appear above her.
"Hi" a voice said behind her.
Nikki turned around to see a blonde hair girl around her age.
"Hi, I'm Nikki" Nikki said to the girl.
"I'm Amber. Are you new around here?" She asked while looking at what Nikki was wearing.
"Yeah, we just moved here today. How did you know?" Nikki replied.
"Oh, just that you are on the beach and not in a bathing suit. That isn't too common around here" Amber said, trying to lighten up the mood.
"I understand …it's just that I don't really feel like doing much now. Maybe when I am settled in we should go do something. I don't know anything about this place." Nikki said, doing her best to maybe make a friend.
"Sure, I'd like that. I am meeting a friend for lunch. I'll talk to you later, here is my number" Amber wrote her number on a piece of paper and Nikki put it in her pocket.
"Bye" Nikki said as Amber walked off.
'Maybe this year won't be terrible' Nikki thought, as she got back to her reading.
"Aunt Ava, I am going to go get lunch" Bradin yelled up to his Aunts room.
"Ok honey, don't be gone too long." Ava responded as she heard the door shut downstairs.
……
Bradin had been walking around for nearly 15 minutes. He was unsure of where to go for food. He decided to get a hamburger at a place that seemed like an outdoor mall. There were tons of people there of all ages.
'Everyone seems to have their thing to do around here' Bradin thought as he walked in and ordered his food.
He sat down by himself and began to eat.
A few tables down, Amber and her friend Rachel were enjoying their lunch when all the sudden Amber saw something…well, someone.
"Don't look right now, but slowly turn around about three tables down" Amber whispered to Rachel.
Rachel turned around and saw just what Amber was looking at.
"Oh my gosh Amber, he is so hot!" Rachel said excitedly while trying to stay quiet.
"I know, he looks a little bit older, but that doesn't bother me!" Amber replied while still staring.
Three tables down sat Bradin Westerly all alone. Little did he know that those two girls down there were talking about him.
After he finished his food, Bradin got up and left the restaurant. Amber and Rachel talked for about 10 more minutes then they also left.
'I need to meet that guy' Amber thought as she exited the restaurant.
