Chapter 7
Beach and a Movie
-------------------------------------------
"Okay... Anyway, where's Lulu and Rikku?"
"They're just, um, trying to... I think surf?!" Tidus said, adding a screwed up expression to the last three words. Turning her head towards their direction, Yuna laughed when she caught a glimpse of Lulu and Rikku both falling off of Squall and Tidus' surfboards.
"Hyne they are pathetic." Squall pointed out.
"I know ya?" added Wakka with his eyes glued on Lulu.
"Hey," Tidus said with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "Why don't we show those girls what surfing really is?" he offered.
After seeing them all smile, Tidus took that as their response as he got up and started running in the water with Squall and Wakka following behind. Yuna laughed whole heartedly when she saw the expressions on the girls' faces after getting kicked off by the guys. Not bothering to put up a fight with them, they jogged over to Yuna as soon as they noticed Yuna sitting there alone.
"Hey, you're finally here"
"Yeah." Yuna replied.
"So what did you think of our surfing?" Lulu asked with a hint of humor in her voice.
Yuna was about to answer through her giggling but was interrupted by Rikku, "Not as good as them." she said pointing over to the water.
The three girls all stared at the three guys professionally hitting the waves and gliding through the water on their surfboards like actual pros. Becoming aware that Yuna was looking his way, Tidus decided to do some something to impress her. So he bravely bent down slightly with his right hand grabbing one side of the board and did a huge flip when a wave came. To his amazement, he had actually mastered that just then without any faults. Feeling even more proud of himself than usual, he let his guard down thinking that he was 'unstoppable', but never did he see what was coming his way.
Catching him off guard, another huge wave came, however this time splashing over him and pushing him off the surfboard. He jumped up from the water gasping for air while at the same time hearing Squall and Wakka laugh at him. They had jumped off their surfboards to see if he was okay, but instead, they were only able to laugh at the sight.
"Ha ha, very funny." Tidus spoke sarcastically.
"Yeah, thanks for stating the obvious." Squall mocked.
"Who cares, let's just head back to the girls." Wakka offered, pulling his surfboard along with him as he was the first to arrive on shore.
"I must say Tidus, lovely flip, and an even lovelier fall." Rikku commented while giggling.
"Hey! I'm hungry, got any food?" Wakka interrupted trying to change the boring subject.
Lulu nodded and handed him a sandwich and a can of coke. With that, everyone else started eating, all except Yuna. Because she had just arrived, unlike everyone else, she wasn't tired or hungry, yet more bored and energetic. Therefore keeping in mind that there were three available surfboards, she decided to hit the waves by herself.
"Hey, can I borrow one of your surfboards?" she asked, looking at the three guys digging food into their mouths. With a whole heap of chewed up sandwich in his mouth, Tidus managed to say, "Yeah, you can use mine."
Yuna winced at the sight before saying, "Thanks,"
She quickly grabbed the surfboard as the whole grouped watched her intently and made her way in the water. Clueless of what she was planning to do, the group simply sat there and waited for her next move. She placed the board on the water and swiftly climbed onto it with her belly pressed onto the center of the surfboard. Pushing her way further into the ocean, she steadily lifted herself off the surfboard and placed her two feet on it in a surfing position. She then started gliding along the waves unaware that the whole group had watched her with their jaws ajar.
"No one told me she knew how to surf." Squall broke the silence but remained watching her surf.
"Boy, I've known Yunie the longest and I never knew." Rikku added with a huge amount of awe in her voice.
While everyone was giving in their inputs, Tidus just sat their quiet, never once taking his eyes off her.
'Impressive.'
After a while, Yuna had retired from the waves and made her way back to the group only to be showered with praises and compliments from Lulu and Rikku. She simply laughed and sat back down in-between Lulu and Tidus.
"So, we've only been out here for like an hour and half, what else are we gonna do?" Rikku asked fidgeting with her towel.
"Hmm, well seeing that we have a beach volley ball here, do you guys want to play a game of well… Beach Volley Ball? Girls against guys." Lulu suggested.
The group exchanged looks before agreeing to her idea.
"Fine, us guys, against you chicks! Oh and don't worry, we'll be soft on yous." Tidus teased looking straight at Yuna.
"Yeah whatever, we'll prove you guys wrong." Yuna retorted back at Tidus.
While they were arguing, it didn't even occur to them that the rest of the group had already finished setting up the net, so they slowly made their way to the sides they were on and positioned themselves on the sand.
"Alright, we're starting seeing that we're chicks." Rikku exclaimed causing the three guys to roll their eyes at the lame excuse.
With a hard and low serve, the girls had easily gained the first point while the guys all looked at one another with expressions like, 'I thought you were gonna get it'
The game continued always in a tied situation when the guys would lose points for not concentrating, if you know what I mean. However, they were always able to catch up effortlessly.
After a long fun game, eventually the girls had won the guys, making them appear as sore losers when they started making up excuses or whined. It was around five something by the time they finished, therefore, without anything else to do, they decided to just sit there and wait for the sun to set. Luckily, they still had a whole heap of junk food with them, so they started nibbling on jellybeans or any chewy things.
A long interesting conversation about basically everything had gone on for two whole hours without anyone of them realizing. Funny thing was, when the topic about relationships was raised Yuna seemed to have kept a lot of her input to herself, but no one really noticed that, much to her relief.
The sun was finally setting when it reached 7.30 and the group just sat there and watched it set silently. The crimson sun slowly made it's way down, announcing the end of the first day of their camp. At last when the whole sun was out of sight, the group, excluding Wakka and Lulu, started packing their belongings and began walking back across the road where their cabins were.
Rikku and Yuna were up ahead of Squall and Tidus, while Wakka and Lulu decided to stay for a little while longer. As the two girls walked slowly towards the cabin, the two guys following three meters behind them were lost in their own thoughts.
I'm hungry. Hyne look at that ass of hers.
Squall thought silently to himself, the last seven words making him smirk.
Why do we have to carry everything?Tidus thought to himself whilst looking at Yuna from behind.
------------------------------
"HEY GUYS! DINNER'S HERE!" Wakka shouted over the loud pumping music as he clumsily walked into the cabin with paper bags filled with different food orders. Suddenly everyone turned their heads and ran straight over to Wakka.
"Hey hey hey, calm down ya?"
As soon as the whole group got their bags of food, they gathered together in the lounge room and started eating their dinner.
"Hey! Anything planned for tonight?" Wakka asked with his mouth filled with chewed up food.
"Umm, nope, not until tomorrow." Lulu replied.
"Oh what! What the hell are we suppose to do for the whole of tonight then?" whined Tidus at the same time stuffing his food down his throat and chugging down his beer.
"Hey, I got an idea! Let's play Truth or dare." Rikku suggested however only getting moans or unsure expressions from the group.
"Nah, I suggest that one of us goes and rent a movie at the video shop down the road." Wakka recommended.
"But what movie are we gonna watch? Horror, Action, romance or comedy?"
Different choices were randomly called out, making it harder to choose the film. Therefore Lulu, being the wisest one from the group, drew the attention back to her by screaming, "Hey! What about this, the person who can skull down this can of alcohol gets to choose the film. And since you guys are mostly going for an action film, then you pick out one guy whilst we pick out one girl."
Getting nods from everyone, Lulu grabbed two bottles and filled them with alcohol while the group was talking amongst themselves.
"Okay, here." she said as she threw a bottle of alcohol over to the guys and a not- see-through bottle over to Yuna
After getting ready, Lulu began counting down, "Okay, Squall, Yuna, ready?" she asked looking at both of them when she said their names.
They simply nodded their heads as they were getting ready to drink like hell.
"Okay, ready set GO!"
And with that, Yuna and Squall began drinking their bottles of liquids as fast as possible. Taking a glance over at Squall, Yuna noticed how fast he was; therefore she desperately tried to quicken her speed by allowing the 'alcohol' flood in her mouth and opening her throat wider than it already was.
Slamming the bottle down with force, the girls cheered as Yuna wiped her lips from the remaining liquid. Squall on the other hand had just finished milliseconds after Yuna. The guys were all amazed that a chick had actually beaten them, "Damn Yuna, I didn't know you were an alcoholic," Wakka stated before getting a grin from Yuna.
"Okay, we win, so we choose a romantic comedy." Rikku piped up.
The guys merely groaned and shook their heads.
"Fine fine fine! Go Wakka." Tidus ordered.
"What?! Why do I have to go again?" he protested.
"Oh come on, it's a chance for 'you know who' and you to have some time together by yourselves." Tidus replied.
Wakka simply smirked and gave up to Tidus, making his way out the door with his hand grabbing onto Lulu's hand. Once the door was closed, Tidus and Squall turned back around to the two girls.
"God Yuna, how the hell did you manage to drink a bottle of alcohol so damn fast." Squall stated with astonishment.
Rikku and Yuna looked over at each other and started laughing. Somehow, the guys knew that there was some sort of catch to it.
"Wanna know my secret?" Yuna asked.
"Go on." Tidus urged.
"Well, the secret is… my bottle was actually filled with water." She answered, again starting to laugh loudly at the two stunned faces in front of her.
"Why else would Lulu have poured the alcohol in a different bottle and mine being not-see-through." Yuna chuckled.
"What!? That's not fair, now we're stuck watching a stupid romance." Tidus and Squall complained as Yuna and Rikku rolled on the carpet still laughing hard that tears were starting to roll off their cheeks. Tidus and Squall simply smirked.
Man, who would believe that she is such an annoying chick with that face.
Tidus thought silently to himself, although he still didn't realize the smile was not yet wiped off.
Phew! For a minute there I thought I lost to a chick------------------------------------
The group had all settled down and began watching the romantic comedy Wakka and Lulu had chosen. Luckily for them, they had a couch all to themselves when no one wanted to sit close to them after seeing them occasionally exchange kisses on the cheek or neck. But it was bound to happen if a chick was sitting on a guys lap during a romantic movie.
Therefore, with them taking up one whole couch, the rest of the group were squashed together on the remaining couch. Tidus on the left edge, then Rikku, then Yuna and then Squall. The reason why the guys were on the edge was basically because being guys, they always had their legs stretched wide opened.
Half way during the movie, Tidus started to get restless. So looking down at his big bowl of popcorn which was suppose to be shared amongst him and Rikku, he grabbed a handful of them before handing the bowl over to the blonde next to him.
He secretly glanced over at Yuna who was sharing her bowl of popcorn with Squall, and smiled seeing her so hooked on the movie. He slowly grabbed one popcorn and chucked it at Yuna, catching her off guard.
Feeling something light hit her, she turned her head around to see what it was. Unsurprisingly, it was a popcorn. She looked over at the direction it came from and suspiciously scanned Tidus and Rikku. Although she was pretty sure it was Tidus, she wasn't positive it was him seeing that Rikku had the bowl of popcorn and he seemed so utterly innocent just sitting there watching the movie. So not bothering where the popcorn came from she turned her attention back to the movie.
Tidus grinned as he felt her eyes leave him, not knowing that it was he who chucked it at her. He had to obtain his laughter inside so that he could continue playing this game with her or on her without her realizing it. Taking another popcorn, he chucked it at her. Again she turned around to find another popcorn, this time she looked at Tidus more carefully and noticed a very small smirk on his face. Smiling herself, she grabbed a handful of popcorn and chucked it at Tidus causing him to jump off the couch.
"Woah man, geez I only chucked two at you." Tidus said trying to dust all the popcorn off of him.
Yuna simply laughed before continuing to watch the movie. Tidus sat back down and also started actually watching the movie instead of always looking over at Yuna. Tidus would again occasionally get restless and start chucking popcorns at Yuna only to be greeted the same way afterwards until they both ran out of popcorns. Not long later, after the movie finished everyone retired to their bedrooms and went to sleep, getting as much rest as possible for tomorrow's trip.
