Chapter 4: Dancing the Night Away
The sun was setting outside, below the horizon and leaving an orange and pink glow to the surface of the water. The temperature outside had dropped to a comfortable environment, and a light breeze ruffled the leaves of the trees on the hotel grounds. The moon was rising higher, and as clouds from the day shifted, stars shone all around, bathing everything in moonlight and starlight. It was magical, an evening only the wizarding world would allow, and no one knew just how much magic was going to fly tonight.
Inside hotel room #230, the four roommates were anxiously preparing for the night to come. Everyone was showered, the only things that stood in their way of being completely done were hair, makeup, getting dressed, accessories, and most important of allâ shoes. They busily scrambles in and out of the sink area of the bathroom, each trying to have a space of the mirror to work with, but in the long run, Hannah had brought out her own personal mirror and was working off that, leaving a disgruntled Ginny, Hermione, and Luna to make the best use of the 20 minutes they had with the small mirror.
Ginny stepped away to straighten her hair, giving Hermione the room she needed to set her curls in place, while Luna pulled the front strands of her hair back and sealed it with a hair clasp, and Hannah was just sporting a bun. Luna and Hannah were on to make-up and seemed very focused on getting it just right. Hermione and Ginny had done their make-up in the chaos of it all and were now finding the perfect accessories to match their outfits.
Hermione was dressed in an Aqua halter top, and was wearing a knee length aqua and white striped skirt that was cut diagonally in the front. It was all comfortable, and she picked out a Lorimar necklace and a silver bracelet and a new blue and silver anklet she had bought earlier that day. She eventually settled on a pair of white open-toed heels, which looked like they had a knot where they tied in the front. She was ready, and butterflies were in her stomach as she couldn't see anything coming, but was excited to imagine what could.
"Do these shoes match this outfit?" Hermione asked, frantic to make sure she looked perfect for Ron, not that she felt for him in that way, but you know, she wanted to look her utmost best.
"Herm, relax, you look fine. You're going to bewitch my brother tonight, just you wait and see" Ginny added with a smile and a wink.
Hermione rolled her eyes and repeated the same thing she tells herself "Gin, I told you, I'm afraid I don't feel for him that way. I'm sorry." She told her sympathetically.
"You keep telling yourself that, Hermione," Ginny added again, with another wink, "You look beyond great, too, so please calm down, for all our sakes."
Luna played it simple with a strapless yellow sundress, which had scattered tropical flowers here and there, had put a tropical yellow flower clip behind her right ear, and wore matching platform yellow flip flops to give her some height, and style. She chose a hemp paradise necklace with matching bracelet, and dazzled her hair, face, and neck with glitter.
"Is the glitter too much?" she asked to no one in particular.
"No, you look great, Luna, really. You're going to dazzle some guys tonight." Ginny said encouragingly.
"Thanks Gin" Luna smiled and continued to glitter herself crazy.
Ginny was wearing a short denim miniskirt, which went down about 10 inches above her knees. She wore a pink spaghetti strap tank top, with black strap high heels that gave her about 3 more inches to her height. In her mind, she knew if she was taller, she would be noticeable to a certain Gryffindor seeker. She chose a silver, open-heart necklace, a charm bracelet, and a silver toe ring. She glittered her eyes, and nothing else.
"This matches, right? I mean, should I be wearing neutral colors, like to bring out the colors in my eyes? Or should I wear green, to bring out the color in his-"She stopped once she got that far, once she realized she had let it slip. The other three girls turned to her, wide-eyed and surprised.
"Ginny, I thought you stopped liking him 2 years ago!" Hermione said with a smile.
"I thought I did! Really I did! But he's been all flirty lately, I can't help it! What's a girl to do?" She pleaded. But she was surprised at their reactions. All three girls came over to her and collapsed her in a big hug.
"Ginny, I can say on behalf of all of us that we wish you the best of luck with Harry. He's a great guy, and he's crazy about you" Hannah told her, with a twinkle in her eye. Ginny just smiled and took it all in.
Hannah was wearing a light green peasant top, which flowed down to her waist, and a short black skirt. She sore green flip flops that looked like ribbon (A/N: dan- u know the shoes I have) and she wore no jewelry, for she told the others that all jewelry did was mesmerize a guy because of the shine. The others laughed at this, and at the same time, all four girls sprayed perfume, and walked through it, did a final mirror check, took a picture and had one last hug, and left the door, matching purses and all.
The guys were another story. They just showered, shaved, gelled their hair, and got dressed. They didn't pay attention to the little things, because as guys, they wanted to look good and have fun. But they didn't feel it was necessary to go all out on these things.
Ron got dressed in a pair of fine khaki shorts, and a blue plaid button down short-sleeved shirt, which brought out the colors in his eyes. He just finished with a pair of nice sandals, which coincidently, all the guys had brought.
"Does this go?" Ron asked, boredly.
"Sure" Neville said boredly, too, only half focusing.
Harry wore a simple red button down short-sleeved shirt, with jean shorts and suede sandals. His messy hair was same as always, and didn't even bother with the gel. He knew there was no point to taming it.
Seamus wore a blue and red knit polo shirt and khaki pants. He said he could survive any weather, though the rest disagreed, and knew by the end of the night he would be complaining.
"Gel?" Seamus asked Harry, turning to face him.
"Yeah" Harry said simply, and went to go back to trying to comb his messy hair.
Neville decided on a nice black t-shirt, and jeans. He didn't do anything too extravagant, so he kept it simple. All guys sported manly cologne, and then left the room, each carrying a room key.
They all boarded their busses sophistically, and rode there, everyone talking excitedly. When they got there, they de-boarded, sat to hear the "rules of how proper young Wizards and Witches should act" and after many nods and "yeah"'s, were allowed to board the boat, which was old style, and roughly about the size of the Great Hall. The first group was sent to eat, while their group consisting of the 8 of them, headed to the top deck for dancing.
Lights loomed the boat, and there was a nook in front of the boat where the 8 set themselves in, and for awhile just listened to music, laughed, and had a good time all around. The girls longily looked at the dance floor, not wanting to dance by themselves, and also because no one else had taken the floor yet. It seemed the right people needed to get out there first, and none of the eight wanted to be those people. So instead, they made light conversation and suggested songs to the DJ, which they all sang to. Neville and Seamus had come up with their own "dance" flailing their arms up around their head back and forth, but weren't being completely serious, which gave the other six, permission to mock them for years to come.
Then Dumbledore counts off their group to go down to the lower deck to eat dinner. So they all shuffle down there, the girls taking longer on the stairs for fear of falling, and the guys rushing them along. Ron, especially, worked to help speed the process, and was trying to find ways to get down there faster.
"Hermione! Can you move any faster?" He yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Ron! Unless you want me to trip and fall, you'll just have to wait!" She yelled back.
Ron snickered slightly, but took it back when she shot a glance his way. He apologized and waited like a gentleman for the girls to get down the stairs safely. They all got a little corner table which just barely sat them all. The guys got up and helped themselves to the fried chicken and french fries at the buffet, while the girls stuck with their green salads and light dressing. They all ordered water.
"I wanna at least do some dancing" Ginny said, catching a quick glance toward Harry, who, she caught, was staring at her the whole time.
"I know what you mean I-"Luna began, then immediately stopped when she heard a song playing on the upper deck. "Omigod! Is that the Cha Cha Slide? That's, like, my dance!" Luna said excitedly, then dashed for the stairs, with the rest of the girls following her.
"What in the bloody hell is the Cha Cha Slide?" Ron asked questioningly.
"No idea, mate. Let's go check it out." Harry said, and motioned for Neville Seamus, and Ron to follow him upstairs. None of them knew what the girls were talking about, but they all knew they wanted to find out. So they left their food (Ron unwillingly) and headed to the upper deck, where they heard some funky music and a bunch of people on the dance floor, following what the guy was saying.
To the Left
Take it back now y'all
One hop this time
Right foot less stuff, left foot less stuff
Cha cha real smooth
And that's what they were all doing. The guys watched in amazement as the girls laughed and had fun, messing up every now and then, but just giving themselves reason to laugh harder. The guys caught themselves staring, and didn't pull themselves back to earth until the song ended, and the girls came bounding towards them, big smiles on their faces.
"So that's what a Cha Cha Slide is." Ron thought to himself.
The girls went over to the little boat nook where they had dropped their shoes and their purses, but not without winking at the guy of their desire. The guys just stared in amazement, and then went to the punch bar to get something to drink. They all leaned on the bar in a way that made them feel proud and confident, ordered pumpkin juice and each of them sipped with drinks, not taking their eyes off the woman of their affection.
The girls still had their eyes on the guys, but were trying not to be too obvious, so they looked away and laughed with the girl nearest them to try and hide that they were looking.
"Is he looking this way? Is he looking this way?!" Ginny asked, turning her head away so it didn't appear that she was interested to know. It was her way of playing hard to get. Hannah's suggestion. "Don't look, though!" she added quickly.
But as if it had come as an instinct, all three girls turned their heads to where Harry was, and then turned their heads back quickly.
"Definitely!" They said in unison to one another, smiling widely. Ginny blushed a bright shade of scarlet, and went back to sipping her drink, pretending not to care, though inside, she was glowing.
"Dude! (A/N: I doubt he'd say this, but I just wanted to emphasize; teenage guys, yeahâ) Hermione was so looking my way!" Ron said excitedly, and continued to stare at her, not even trying to hide himself.
"Yea, mate, I saw! Good for you!" Harry said, eyes still on Ginny.
Then the "The Train" song came on, and the girls jumped up from their seats, running to the dance floor and dancing happily. The guys looked to one another, nodded, and as if they were thinking the same thing, moved in the dance floor, acting all smooth, and danced over to the girl they desired.
Hannah smiled as she saw Seamus move her way, and together they danced side by side, Hannah smiling flirtatiously as she saw Seamus mess up quite a few times. He is so cute. She thought to herself. She is so fine. Seamus thought to himself, and they danced.
Luna glowed up inside as she saw Neville making his way towards her shyly, and she danced by him, enjoying his attempts to the dance, and he winked at her. Why have I never known this about him? He's got something about him, he looks beyond gorgeous tonight! She thought to herself, and smiled. Just keep dancing, Neville. Just keep dancing, don't stop or you'll look like a fool. You don't want to look like a fool! He told himself, and smiled.
Ginny winked flirtatiously as Harry strode over to dance beside her, surprising her with how well he knew the dance. Ginny giggled as Harry made a slight mistake, and Harry just blushed a very slight shade of red and continued. He's my guy. He's not perfect, but he sure is close to it. She thought, and danced away. I wonder if she knows how much she mesmerizes me like this. He thought, and danced closer to her.
Ron shyly made his way over to the lonesome Hermione, and just sort of, stood there, towering over her with great advantages to his height. He smiled sweetly and saw her smile back at him, before he took an empty space next to her and began to guess his way at how the dance went, making mistakes here and there, but grabbing the hang of it after a bit. How am I supposed to learn this dance when the only thing on my mind is my Hermione? I can't believe I'm dancing next to her. I'm incredibly lucky. He thought to himself, keeping it inside. Why can't I take my eyes off of him? He looks incredible tonight. He really should wear more blue, it emphasizes his eyes. I don't mean it in THAT way, I just can't help but notice how manly he looks. She thought, not daring to say it aloud.
By the time the song had ended, all four guys had gotten the hang of how it went, and were disappointed that they had to stop dancing with the girl of their choice. But did they dare to make that obvious? No. They guys winked and smiled at 'their' girls, then went to a couple chairs across the dance floor, the girls making their way to the opposite side of where the guys were and taking chairs exactly opposite them. They all gave the guy across from them, who, coincidently, happened to be their dance partner, a little wave and smiled across the dance floor. Ron locked eyes with Hermione, and she didn't look away, fearing that if she did she would be brought back to reality. Ginny smiled at Harry and Harry smiled back. As did Neville with Luna, and Seamus with Hannah.
"Lady Marmalade" was heard over the speakers and instantly the girls jumped off, slid their shoes under their chairs, and took the floor, the guys, not sure how to dance this one, stood out, and instead just marveled at how they moved.
"How do they move like that?" Neville asked, staring at Luna, who was twirling around the dance floor and moving from side to side.
"I don't know but I'm glad they do." Seamus asked, dazed.
"It's enough to make any guy want to get out there and really show um how to dance." Harry said, and smiled mischievously to himself.
"Mate! That's my sister you're staring at! You're not doing any of that kind of dancing that would turn MY little sister into some scarlet woman!" Ron bellowed in hushed tones, while Harry merely laughed it off. "Harry! It's not funny! I'm being serious! No who you're dealing with here!" he said, narrowing his eyes.
"Ron, I know who I'm dealing with, believe me. And you know who you're dealing with," he points to himself. "You know I'd never do anything likeâ thatâ yet. We're not going out and we're just having a little innocent fun. So, mate, don't judge me yet and don't go all big brother until I've done something bad."
"Like" Ron said through clenched teeth.
"I'm just talking hypothetically." Harry said defensively yet not as serious as Ron was. Ron rolled his eyes and just watched Hermione, letting all anger towards Harry disappear at the moment he turned his gaze. He snapped back when the song ended and saw that all four girls were motioning for the guys to rejoin them on the dance floor. They all got up, a little excitedly, and then stopped in their tracks as the next song came on. "Dirty" by Christine Aguilera.
"This should be good." Ginny said, smiling and she and Hermione turned to each other, knowing that this was going to be interesting.
"There's no way I'm letting you dance this one" Ron said to Harry, pulling him back.
"I am if you are." Harry said, smiling widely, and knowing Ron, he saw Ron give up and surrender. He knew there was no way Ron was going to pass this up. So all four guys walked over to their girls smoothly, and moved in. Neville shyly began dancing, a little nervous.
"I've never danced like this," He admitted to Luna. But of course she could see this, so she decided to have some fun.
"Then allow me to teach you." She smiled flirtatiously and put her hands on his hips, allowing him to loosen up a bit.
Seamus, already naming himself the 'stud' of Gryffindor, kept up his reputation dancing with Hannah by knowing all the moves to push a girl around the dance floor. Hannah was impressed and rather intrigued.
Harry was dancing with Ginny innocently, for the most part. But that was only when he saw Ron glance towards them to make sure they weren't doing anything illegal. However, when Ron was occupied dancing with Hermione and didn't look at them, it was nothing but innocent as they danced to the song, living it up to its name. Harry, knowing that if Ron knew what he was up to, would absolutely kill him, but he figured it all worth it in the end.
Ron, having learned quite a few dance moves from his older brothers, was dancing quite rhythmically to the music, moving the way that Fred had told him "Weasley men were supposed to move". He smiled as he remembered the long talk Fred and George had had with him the night of his 16th birthday, and proceeded to dance himself closer to Hermione. She smiled as she saw what he was doing, and rather enjoyed how close they were dancing.
The song then turned down and was followed by a few of the eight's favorites. "Yeah" by Usher, "Hey Ya" By Outkast, "Heaven" by DJ Sammy, some System of a Down songs, and by the time they got to "The Way you Move" by Outkast, they were all tired, a little sweaty, but mostly overjoyed that they had lasted that long. The girls were beyond glad they had their shoes off and the guys couldn't care if their feet hurt, because they were not about to leave the dance floor. Before long, Ron stopped glancing to check in on Ginny and Harry, and became too fascinated with dancing with Hermione, much to the relief of the couple.
"I'm gonna go get us some drinks" Ron said in her ear, just loud enough for her to hear him.
"Ok" She said, and they left the dance floor, all of them collapsing in their respectable chairs from earlier. Ron made his way over to the nonalcoholic 'bar' and ordered some pumpkin juice, only two, for himself and Hermione, then wound through the crowd back to her, where he gave her a drink, then went to the guys, who had followed his lead and gotten the other girls drinks too. They all knew that generosity and care were a good way to a girl's heart.
They all sipped their drinks quietly, deep in thought about the songs that they had all just danced, while over the speakers they heard the familiar sounds of the "YMCA". They were too tired to dance this one out, and they needed a rest. They were all a little disappointed that this was the song they chose to sit out, but they couldn't dance all night long. Or could they?
Once the song ended and everyone was energized and hydrated, they went back to the dance floor, dancing with their partners again, and everyone stopped and screamed while laughing as Sisqo's "The Thong Song" was put on. The guys shook their heads but the girls only made them dance, mouthing all the words to the song to try and get them to dance.
After about 10 seconds (these guys were easily manipulated), they were defeated and danced, in the same not-so-innocent way they were before. Ron looked at Hermione in disbelief, wondering how the hell she had learned all the word to "The Thong Song". Was there a side to her he had never seen before?
That song turned into Sir-Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" where all the girls shrieked and all the guys rolled their eyes and danced with the girls, partly for their own sake. Hermione shocked everyone this time as she sang every single word. Hannah high-fived her, not knowing Hermione had ever even heard this type of music before. Ron was beginning to like all these surprises she had, knowing each would possibly be better than the next.
"I've never seen this side of you before," Ron said, winking at her and smiling, dancing closer to her so that the couple was only a few inches apart.
"There's a lot of things you've never seen me do," She said with a wink and Ron just stared at her, taken aback, wondering what else she was capable of, "I bet you've never seen me do this." And she inched herself closer to him, placed both of her hands on his waist, and loosened his hips, making them both go down and dance closer still, making the distance between them mere centimeters. Hermione could feel the warmth of Ron's body close to hers, and she felt her heart begin to race. Ron got a glint in his eye.
"You're right, 'Mione, I've never seen you dance like that before. So, tell me, will I ever see you do that again?" he said, hiding his hope with a playfully smug expression.
"Maybe... it depends; do you want me to dance that way with you again?"
"Maybeâdo you want me to want you to dance with me?"
"You tell me."
Ron's brow furrowed. He seemed to be lost in their conversation, while maintaining his cool on the dance floor, nonetheless. So instead of answering her, he pulled her closer, completely overtaken by the rhythm of the music, so their bodies were only less than a millimeter apart. He grabbed her, one hand behind her back, the other holding her hand, and he dipped her down low. His head followed hers, and right when their faces were inching closer, the song ended, and was followed by a loud Linkin Park song. They separated at once, Hermione going to dance instead with Ginny and the girls, and Ron going to get something to eat. Ron bumped into Harry, completely unaware that there was anyone else there.
"Sorry" he mumbled, and made his way around Harry.
What's got to him? Harry thought to himself and shrugged his shoulders. He would ask him about it later, but right now he was exhausted from all the dancing he had done with Ginny. He had noticed Ron and Hermione dancing closer than even he and Ginny had, and was happy for them, but knew the couple hadn't even thought it through, and to them, it meant nothing.
What just happened? Damn 'Breaking the Habit'! Why, WHY did it have to come on right as Ron and I were finally dancing so close that I could feel the warmth of his sweating body through his shirt? He looks good tonight, and that shirt really defines his muscles. Stop, Hermione, you pervert! He's your best friend, neither of you think that way about the other. It's hopeless! You're just setting yourself up for a big disappointment when you know he doesn't like you! And it's not like you like him in that way either! You both were just caught up in the moment! I blame it on the music! Hermione thought, and constantly kept trying to reassure herself, though she seemed to fight a losing battle.
I don't even want to think about what just happened. The music moved me to do things I don't even want to think about. But she moved with me! This is the second time we almost, we almost, umâ kissed. And I'm almost certain that's the farthest it's probably going to go. I won't get my hopes up for something that's never going to happen. Ron thought, and sulked over to the dessert table, and ignored it. I'm not even hungry. Then he went back up to the dance floor, and joined Harry and the guys sitting at the side.
"What's gotten into you, Ron?" Harry asked him, concerned he hadn't eaten.
"Nothing, nothing. I just have a lot of 'Mione- I mean, a lot on my mind." He mumbled.
"Ron, tell her."
"Are you mad?!" he said, looking Harry in the eyes.
"No, but it seems you are. You think about her night and day. You're giving up food, and let's face it Ron. I know you wanted to go farther than to just dance with her before. It's eating you alive, Mate."
"Sod off Harry" he mumbled again, taken aback that Harry was right.
Harry got up from his seat. "Okay. But I'll warn you. If you don't get to her soon enough, someone else might." And he threw Ron a knowing glance, then proceeded to the dance floor, which was now playing "Headstrong" by Trapt. He was dancing by himself for awhile, until Ginny approached him and they danced together. Ron just was lost in thought.
All my Life
I've prayed for someone like you...
And I thank God that I
That I finally found you.
All the girls let out a big "Aww!" as they heard the familiar romantic sounds of KC and JoJo on the speakers. Immediately everyone split up in pairs and began slow dancing. Ron looked anxiously around for Hermione as he saw Harry grab his little sister by the waist and start dancing with her, his eyes closed and her head resting against his chest. She looked thoroughly pleased, and relaxed, as if there were no other place she would rather be.
Ron was still looking for Hermione, until he felt a tap on his left shoulder. He smiled huge, turned around, and saw
"L-Luna?" He said, disappointed.
"Hello Ronald," She said simply. He just gaped at her. "Would you like to dance?"
"Err- What about Neville?"
"I can't find him. He went to the bathroom a few minutes ago and I lost him in the crowd after he came back. I don't want to go to the middle of the dance floor alone. I figured I'd dance there. Wanna help me? You might be able to find Hermione." She added with a wink.
"H-H-Hermione? Why would I want to find her?" he said, taken aback. She just stared at him with an I-know-you-like-her kind of stare. He gave up. "Yeah, I'll dance with you." And he put his hands on her waist, uncomfortably, and she put her hands on his shoulders, not at all relaxed, but rather uneasy, as if, if she were caught doing this, she would be in big trouble.
They danced their way into the middle of the dance floor, sort of in circles, as they both wanted to find the person they were after. Then Ron spotted a familiar Aqua halter top some 5 feet away. He danced Luna and himself over to the couple dancing, the guy seeming to have trouble with the concept of dancing. He nodded to Luna and they separated. He walked over to the girl and put his hands around her waist, so that he was standing behind her.
"Hey 'Mione," he said with a sly grin. Then he turned his head towards Neville, "Mind if I cut in?" Neville shook his head.
"I don't mind. I was actually just looking for- LUNA!" and he ran over to her, and began dancing with her excitedly.
"Hello Ronald." She said, copying Luna. He smiled at her.
"Would you like to dance?" He asked hopefully.
"I'd love to." She smiled. He smiled. He put his hands around her waist comfortably, pulling her closer to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He was a lot taller, so this was quite a feat. She closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest, smiling huge to herself. She looked up into his eyes quite a few times. She smiled up at him and He smiled down at her, returning her loving gaze, feeling the happiest he's ever felt in his life.
All my Life
I pray for someone like you
And I thank God that I
That I finally found you
They danced slowly and romantically until the song ended with its final ending notes. Both had separated against their own will, but didn't want to arouse suspicions to anyone, so they hugged each other.
"Where did you learn to dance like that?" he asked her.
"Me? What about you? You'reâ You're..." She started.
"Aww, I'm not that goodâ "He smiled modestly at her.
"Yeah you are. You have no idea."
"I think I might know." He winked at her. She just smiled at him and he smiled back. Their little moment was interrupted, however, when an oh-too-familiar song blasted the area. They recognized it at once and began laughing and smiling. Everyone cheered.
I'm too sexy for my love
Too sexy for my love,
Love's going to leave.
And I'm too sexy for my shirt
Too Sexy for my shirt, too sexy yeah..
Ron winked at her once more, and then joined the other guys by pulling his shirt off over his head, exposing his bare chest, and swinging the shirt around his head, mouthing the words to the song. Harry laughed at him and swung his own shirt around over his head and then throwing it to Ginny and throwing her a flirtatious wink. Neville couldn't get his shirt off, and 25 other guys had already succeeded and were now forming a train leading down the stairs. It was led by the famous Fred Weasley, followed by George and Seamus.
"Take it off!" Hermione and Ginny yelled together, laughing so hard that their eyes were beginning to water.
"Yeah Harry!" Ginny called out to him and gave him a rather loud cat call. Hermione laughed even harder, almost doubled over with laughter as the 35 shirtless guys, Ron, Harry, and finally Neville included, danced their way down the steps and off the now docked boat. They cheered and punched their fists in the air.
"Any student who does not have his shirt on in 3 minutes will serve a week's detention with me." McGonnagal shouted to the crowd. They did as they were told, and had their shirts on in a matter of minutes. The girls seemed very disappointed, but enjoyed the little show nonetheless. Ginny knew she would probably never see Harry do that again, which is why she took the liberty of taking many pictures of all the guys. She nudged Hermione and showed her a rather humiliatiing picture of Harry waving his shirt in her face. Hermione laughed.
And around midnight, they all de-boarded the boat, everyone still in fits of laughter and knowing that a night like this would only come once in a lifetime. They were all just bummed that it ended so soon. But they still had 6 days left in their trip, surely more laughs would come. There is, after all, a Midnight Luau tomorrow night, on the beach.
