Moonbay stared at Fiona as if she were expecting something. "So are you up for it?" Moonbay asked cheerfully. She was currently at Fiona's house and they were talking about what they were going to be doing for their spring break. Moonbay had a plan to head to the beach and asked Fiona if she wanted to come.
Fiona looked towards Moonbay a little unsure of what her answer was going to be. "I don't know. There's a lot of work that I have to do. I don't think that I will have the time for it," Fiona said in deep thought. She had to admit that it was very tempting though.
Moonbay groaned and slammed her down upon the table that her and Fiona were sitting at. "Enough with school work! We have a week off from it. So I'm going to make sure that you actually do something else," Moonbay said trying to leave it with no room for arguments from the younger lady.
Fiona opened her mouth but no words came out. She just didn't have the time and she wanted Moonbay to know that. It didn't look like Moonbay really cared though. she had a smile on like Fiona had already accepted it. "But…" Fiona said but Moonbay cut her off.
"No, you're going to come with me. I'm offering to take you on a vacation. Which might I add we definitely need we need it to get away from people like Amy and Prozen. It is spring break. A trip to the beach would be a good way to let off some of the stress that we have been having," Moonbay said getting a dreamy look in her eyes. "Not to mention all the cute guys in swimsuits," she said grinning mischievously.
Fiona just sighed in defeat. 'Moonbay does make a good point I guess. I do need a break from all this stress of school. It hasn't exactly been easy on me since I first moved here,' Fiona thought sighing again. "I guess," Fiona said finally giving in to her friend's wishes. She figured that there was no point arguing with Moonbay anyways.
Moonbay grinned in victory and cheered aloud. "Good, because we are leaving tomorrow. Irvine already said that he would come. So you won't have to ask him," Moonbay said grinning before running off without another word.
"What? Tomorrow? You beg me to go and then you just leave me to pack in one night?" Fiona asked very frustrated as she ran after her friend. "You're going to help me then!" she yelled at her but frowned since Moonbay was already long gone.
Fiona frowned and walked to her room ready for a long night of packing. 'Why do I have a bad feeling about all of this,' thought Fiona knowing with her luck that something was going to ruin this.
She stopped when she came to her mother's door. She knocked on the door and was greeted with a, "Come in." Fiona walked into her room and her mother looked up with a small smile. "Is there something that you needed Fiona?" she asked setting down a book she was reading and taking off her pair of reading glasses.
"I'm sorry if this is under short notice but Moonbay kind of invited me to go on a vacation with her to the beach. Is it ok if I go, they're leaving tomorrow," Fiona explained completely forgetting that she forgot to ask for her mother's permission before she accepted.
"I don't see why not. It's good you made such good friends. I wish I had a little more notice about it though," she said with a frown at only being told about it at the last minute. "Do you have everything that you'd need for it?" she asked curiously.
"Moonbay only asked me a few minutes ago so I could only tell you right now. As for what I need. I'm pretty sure that I have everything. I'll only have to spend the entire night packing it all," Fiona said before turning towards the door. "Good night mother and if I don't see you tomorrow, I'll see you later in the week," she said before walking out the door.
"Alright. It's time that you woke up Fiona. We have a couple of hours of driving ahead of us so you have to get up so we can get an early start," Moonbay said happily as she walked into Fiona's room very early in the morning. She frowned when she saw that Fiona was still fast asleep in her bed.
Fiona just put the pillow over her head. "How did you get in here?" Fiona asked from under the pillow. She was so tired at that moment because she had been packing her bag well into the morning before she was able to get any sleep. She would say that she only had about three or four hours of sleep by now.
Moonbay looked around spotting Fiona's luggage in the corner glad that she was at least already packed. "Your mother let me in. now it is time that we got going," Moonbay said as she pulled on Fiona's arm.
Fiona wouldn't even budge from her spot no matter how hard Moonbay pulled. "Give me a few more hours of sleep. Your abrupt invitation barely allowed me any sleep last night since I was up all night packing. Come back in a few hours and I'll be ready by then," she said burying her face into the pillow again resisting Moonbay's pulling.
Irvine came into the room looking a little aggravated because he expecting Fiona to be ready so they could leave quickly. "Hey Moonbay what is taking so long?" Irvine asked looking towards the still sleeping Fiona. He couldn't blame her either. Even he was still too tired. None of them were morning people.
Moonbay sighed as she backed away from Fiona. "She won't get up. Even I can't seem to move her from that spot. We can't leave until she decides to get up. What're we going to do?" Moonbay asked shaking her head as she sat down in a seat that was at a small desk.
Irvine looked towards Fiona again and studied her. He figured he knew the quickest way to get them on the road/ "Then let me try," Irvine said walking into the room. He walked up to Fiona's bed and looked down at her for a second. With great ease he picked up Fiona and threw her over his shoulder and walked out the door. "Let go, best to beat the traffic," he said walking to the car.
Irvine had turned sixteen a few months ago. He was older than most of the people in their grade but only because he started school a little later than most would. He got his license a few weeks before and intended to use it to it's full advantage on their spring break.
Moonbay followed behind but not before grabbing the few things that Fiona was bringing along with them. It only really consisted of two small suitcases but each was rather heavy meaning that Fiona packed them to the bursting point. 'Glad we don't have to do that for her as well.
Moonbay just threw the suitcases into the trunk of the car and jumped into the passenger seat with a grin despite her tired disposition. "It's time to have some fun!" she Moonbay happily as she leaned her head back and soon found herself falling to sleep much like Fiona was doing already.
Irvine put Fiona in the back seat. She was still asleep when he did this and he couldn't blame her. The sun was just rising at that moment. Under normal circumstances he would also still be asleep and not want to wake up like Fiona. 'Wish I had the luxury of being able to sleep as well. Maybe we should have just taken a bus,' he thought getting into the drivers seat.
Moonbay's eyes opened and she looked towards Irvine and then back at Fiona. "I'm surprised she didn't wake up when you carried her out to the car," she mumbled as the car started and they pulled out of the driveway. "Any idea how long this is going to take?" she asked tiredly.
"A few hours. You might as well get some sleep as well," he said with a yawn. "If you two aren't awake when we reach there then I will wake you two up," he said but kept his eyes focused on the road ahead of him. He saw Moonbay just nod before she closed her eyes again and fell asleep.
"Ah. There is nothing like the fresh air to get this day going," Moonbay said as she stuck her head out the window of the car but just barely in hopes of avoiding getting her head knocked off.
Fiona just sat in the back of the car and stared out of the window. The scenery was beautiful but she wasn't interested because she was trying to avoid herself from strangling Moonbay who happened to be singing in the front seat like she had been for the past hour.
It had to be at least four hours since they started to drive and an hour since Fiona had woken up to Moonbay's rather loud singing. "Are we there yet?" Fiona asked staring at the roof of the car with the utmost interest, or at least looking like she was.
"For the fiftieth time, no," said an annoyed Irvine because Fiona kept asking that question ever since she woke up. The first few times didn't bother him because they were more spaced apart but now she was asking the same question ever few minutes or seconds at times.
"How bout now?" This time Moonbay asked. She was grinning her head off as she saw Irvine visibly flinch at the question. She knew Fiona was just bored so she asked the question but Moonbay was intentionally trying to annoy Irvine to his maximum extent because she knew he couldn't fight back except with words.
Irvine's hands gripped at the steering wheel so tight that they started to turn white. "No," said an aggravated Irvine. He swore that if they didn't stop he would strangle them no matter what the consequences for his actions would be. At least he would die happy knowing he got his revenge.
Fiona smiled slightly before she once again asked. "What about now?" Fiona asked knowing it was getting on his nerves. They were only trying to have fun with Irvine. She just hoped he wouldn't put their life in danger by physically getting back at them for annoying him like this.
"NO!" yelled Irvine having enough of the questions. "We'll be there in about an hour. If either of you ask me one more time. I swear you will be walking the rest of the way!" he yelled breathing hard before taking a deep breath and turning his eyes back to the road.
After that, it was completely silent until Moonbay started her singing. Now it was Fiona's turn to be annoyed with her friend. Not to mention Irvine's patience was running very thin and he just wanted to shoot himself.
"Took us long enough but we are finally here," Moonbay said as she got out of the car and stretched out. All that she could see for miles down was beautiful sand and clear blue water. It was all that she could dream about and more. 'This is going to be great!' she thought excitedly.
Irvine stepped out of the car wearing only his swim shorts and an unbuttoned shirt. He sighed in relief and also looked towards the beach. "I thought that I was going to go insane with all of your singing," Irvine said almost automatically dodging the bottle of suntan lotion Moonbay threw at his head.
Fiona was already in her bathing suit because they had already stopped at a place to get changed. It was a pink one-piece bathing suit. It was at the moment covered by a large white shirt. She just remained quiet as her two friends teased each other over and over. She thought it was kind of cute what was going on between them.
They looked over the beach that was in front of them and noticed that there weren't too many people there. At that distance they could only see the people and not who they were. Not like they really cared, they wouldn't see most of the people again anyways.
The day was absolutely beautiful too. It was warm but not too hot and there wasn't a cloud in the sky that could ruin their day. Moonbay couldn't help but feel proud of herself for choosing such a perfect place where they could spend their spring break.
"Today is going to be perfect. Just the good old fashion R&R," Moonbay said as she walked down some steps that led down to the beach. She just stood there for a second and admired the view that was before her. Then she started to walk down the beach to find the perfect place for them to set up for the day.
Moonbay started to walk again but came to a stop when a voice spoke aloud to all three of them. "Oh great! There is trash on this beach now!" the voice said from off to the side. It sounded arrogant and annoyed at their sudden presence
Moonbay happened to be very unfortunately enough to know that voice like the back of her hand. You can't get tortured by the person and not recognize them easily. "Great. What are you doing here Amy?" an annoyed Moonbay asked because she thought that this little trip would help her to get away from Amy not bring her to her.
"I'm taking a vacation. Now beat it before you end up ruining it for me and Van by being here," Amy said with a look of repulsion in her voice. She readjusted the mirror in front of her trying to get maximum sunlight.
Moonbay growled and turned away from Amy while crossing her arms in defiance. "Forget it! We'll stay here if we like!" Moonbay said knowing that this will annoy Amy and give Moonbay the satisfaction of knowing this.
She was definitely annoyed at them and even more annoyed when Fiona walked up next to Moonbay. "Man, this day just seems to be getting worse and worse. Actually planning on swimming with the shirt on. Not that I can blame you, since you have so little to offer under it," Amy said with a smirk as she laid back in her armchair and tried to get as much sunlight as she could.
Moonbay had to grab Fiona to stop her from attacking Amy at the moment. It surprised Moonbay since she actually had a bit of trouble. 'For someone so nice, she's strong when all of her buttons are pushed at once,' Moonbay thought as she struggled with the blonde haired woman. "Calm down Fiona, she's only trying to piss you off," Moonbay said feeling glad when Fiona finally calmed down.
"Move out of the way. You're blocking my light," Amy hating being in their shadows because, to her, it was stopping her from perfecting her already beautiful skin. "I said move! Are you trying to ruin me?" Amy growled again adjusting the sunglasses on her face.
Moonbay just grinned at what she said. "It wouldn't matter to us is we ruined you're wonderful complexion," Moonbay said with a great deal of sarcasm placed into her words. "We're going anyway because we don't want to be around a bitch like you," Moonbay said as her, Fiona, and Irvine walked to a different area of the beach.
Along the way Van came running by. He took a quick look at Fiona and she did the same. Van had a look of curiosity on his face seeing them there. He wasn't even aware that Fiona was going to leave the house. Yet he finds her here of all places. 'Small world,' he thought with a smirk before he turned and started to run back towards Amy. He was kind of happy they were there. 'Things were getting boring anyways,' he thought with a chuckle.
Moonbay just grunted as she found a good place a decent distance from Van and Amy. She roughly set a chair down and sat in it angrily. "We can't let this get us down. We came here to have fun and that is what we are going to do," Moonbay said trying to regain her composure from the earlier encounter.
Irvine took a look at Moonbay and saw how angry she was. He found it pretty amusing even if he didn't mean to come to the same place as Amy. He just knew this as a very good beach in driving distance. "Small world, if we found both of them here," Irvine said a she did the same thing as Moonbay.
"Oh well. Maybe we can make the best of it and make her little vacation hell," Moonbay said with a laugh. She rubbed her hands together planning all the great things they could do. Swim, play volleyball, and tease Amy until she goes crazy. 'This is going to be good.'
For the first hour or so they were just relaxing and talking rather than doing anything. Despite how little they were doing, it was still very fun in Fiona's opinion. She was especially glad that Amy decided to be civil for once and kept to her own area. She hadn't talked to them once since their first encounter. Fiona had a guess that Van was the cause of this.
Fiona looked around and saw that despite this being a lovely beach, that there weren't that many people there to enjoy it. "Um, Moonbay. Why exactly was it this beach that we came to?" Fiona asked still looking around curiously.
"It was the closest one to us. So I guess queen bitch had the same idea," Moonbay said with a casual shrug of her shoulders while relaxing in her chair. Moonbay noticed something out of the corner of her eyes. "Looks like it isn't going to be as peaceful anymore," Moonbay said tilting her sunglasses down while looking a short distance down the beach.
"Why?" Fiona asked. Moonbay just pointed in one direction. Fiona looked over and saw Raven and Reese walking down the beach towards them. Both of them looking as dark as usual. It sent some shivers down Fiona's spine just by looking at them. "This isn't good," Fiona muttered as she saw the Van and Raven notice each other.
"Alright. I'm starting bets for when they start having a swimming race," Irvine joked around with a small chuckle. He completed it by pulling out his wallet from his normal pants pocket.
There was a gleam in Moonbay's eyes at the mention of betting. You could never mention bet with her without going through with it. The woman was obsessed with money and would go through anything just to get it. "I bet five bucks on Raven," Moonbay said for the heck of it.
Irvine just shook his head. He knew she only bet on Raven because she was pissed at Van because of what he did to her when he started to go out with Amy. It wasn't exactly something he could control. Irvine took this as an opportunity. "Well I bet five on Van," Irvine said figuring it to be easy money.
No sooner had they said this then arguing could from the two rivals. Almost everyone on the beach could hear them going at it. Yelling stuff like "What the hell are you doing here?" and, "Just go home because you're not wanted here!" coming from the two of them.
"Can't they give it a break? This is supposed to be a relaxing vacation. I don't want it ruined because of it," Fiona said as she laid back on a beach towel to relax. Although her eyes did keep going towards the intense argument coming from her best friend and his ultimate rival.
The sound of splashing could be heard and Fiona looked to see Van and Raven in the water racing each other like Moonbay had predicted. 'This must go on all the time if Moonbay can so easily predict what the two of them decide to do first. Then again, this is a beach. But there are other things to do as well,' Fiona thought before turning away from the scene again.
Irvine watched the race in excitement waving his five dollars in the air. "Come on I have five bucks betted on you Van!" Irvine yelled growing a bit aggravated that the race was completely tied at that moment meaning that it was going to be too close of a race for his liking.
"Down to the wire, they're neck and neck. Who is going to win," Moonbay commentated the race. "And their… tied?" said a confused Moonbay. She sagged and hung her head knowing that there'd be no money going to her.
Irvine looked curiously from his money to Moonbay's money. "So who won that bet exactly?" Irvine asked as he watched the two rivals walk to different areas and not even look at each other. "I guess because of you posture, that I won the bet," he said with a triumphant grin.
Moonbay looked towards him with a glare. "No you idiot! You're not getting my money for that! It was a tie! I thought that I was going to win too," Moonbay said with a pout as she stuffed her money back to where she got it from.
Irvine grinned finding it rather cute how she looked when she gets mad. "Yeah right. I would have been the one to win the bet," Irvine said as he stuffed the money back into his wallet. He then looked up at Moonbay who was giving him a challenging glare. He enjoyed a good challenge and Moonbay always gave the best challenge to him.
"Fat chance! Van was behind for most of the race. He just caught up at the last moment. So it was pure luck for you that the race turned out the way that it did," Moonbay said placing her hands on her hip with a smirk on her face.
"Were you even watching the same race as me?" Irvine asked as he stood up and started to head to the water. "Van was clearly going to win until Raven caught up at the last second," he said smirking as she came with him. They argued like this for a while as they headed towards the water.
Fiona just laid there and watched as Van walked back to his girlfriend. It made Fiona disgusted to see her throw herself all over Van and he didn't really seem too bothered by it. She turned back around and just laid there trying to get a tan.
The sun glared down upon the three teenagers but none seemed to mind the heat that it created. "Ah, this is definitely the good life," Moonbay said while picking up a drink she had Irvine buy for her. She liked to say it was a real pina colada but in reality it was just a non-alcoholic one.
Everyone watched as a volleyball game went on between Raven and Reese, against Van and Amy. Fiona had heard that Amy was supposed to be good at this sport but that wasn't the way it looked as her and Van were getting pounded into the ground. Van did good but continued to make mistake after mistake.
The ball was hit over the net by Van and Raven came up fast and spiked the ball back towards Amy who didn't catch it and was smacked right in the face. Irvine and Moonbay were laughing their heads off at this. Amy got up off the ground angrily and just stormed away from the game.
Moonbay had spilled her drink as she fell to the ground with Irvine and both of them were rolling around laughing their heads off. "That was just too good," Moonbay said as she wiped a tear away from her eye that formed because of how much she was laughing.
This unfortunately caused an end to the game due to lack of players. They watched as Amy took her usual seat that she had all day. Van couldn't help but groan and follow after her. He really wanted to win the game to. Then again, he really loved beating Raven more than anything, but he didn't get that privilege this time.
Van walked up to her and they started a conversation. She seemed to be yelling at him for something. 'Probably blaming him for the loss. She never took any defeats upon herself. She always had to blame someone else when she lost,' Fiona thought as she laid on her stomach and just watched the argument.
Van seemed to get aggravated by it and just walked off before she could say anymore. Amy didn't seem worried too much and she just sat back down and from what Moonbay and Irvine could see closed her eyes for a short nap.
Moonbay watched her for a second with a small smirk. "If she falls asleep out here, then she's going to have a killer sunburn later," she said laughing at the thought. It made it funnier to think how much makeup Amy would put on to cover it up. 'She has enough as it is. She wouldn't be able to stand under its weight.'
Irvine suddenly had a plan. "A-ha!" he yelled catching the attention of the two other ladies. "Hey Moonbay. I have an idea. Are you up for it?" Irvine asked with a look that told them that he was trying to hold back his laughter. He knew Moonbay would be up for it but he figured that he better tell her first.
"What is it?" Moonbay asked very interested in what it was. Irvine leaned over and whispered something in Moonbay's ears. Upon hearing it Moonbay burst out in laughter. "Oh that's good! Count me in!" she said standing up and dusted the sand off herself from when she was rolling around in the sand.
Moonbay walked close to Irvine and he leaned over and whispered more in her ear. He then pulled away with a smirk. "We need to work quickly though. Who knows when she'll wake up or when Van will come back. So hurry up!" he said before rushing off to grab some things from his car.
Moonbay went in a separate direction by going off in the direction Van was in as Irvine came back with what looked like a small shovel. Fiona paid attention as Moonbay led Van off more by force than by anything else, and Irvine started to dig a hole in the ground.
About thirty minutes later, Irvine had a decent sized hole in the sand. It was one that appeared that someone could easily stand in but didn't have much room to move around it. He climbed out of it carefully and waited for Moonbay to come back from her job.
Moonbay came back about five minutes after that and joined Irvine. "He's out of the way for now but I can't say for how long. Now its time for us to work on our poor victim," Moonbay said happily as she looked towards Amy. "Luckily she's still sleeping," Moonbay said with a laugh.
The two of them stealthily walked up to Amy. After she didn't even talk to them they knew that she really was sleeping. They waved their hand in front of her face and poked her lightly a few times for reassurance. They knew it might wake her up but they figured that carrying her had a better chance so they wanted to test what would happen first.
Moonbay grinned at Irvine as they very carefully picked her up so as not to wake her up and ruin their plan and dragged her towards the hole. They carefully placed her in. The sides appeared to hold her up enough as they poured the sand back into the hole covering all but her head.
"There, we're finished," Moonbay said as she dusted the sand off of her hands. "Too bad we couldn't bury her completely but I'm not going to go to prison for murder or worse… death. Her father would bring back the guillotine if something happened to his precious little brat," she said as they walked back to their things.
"I wonder what her response will be when she wake up," Irvine wondered as he grabbed a camera from a small backpack that they brought with them. They both walked over to her again and just admired their work for a second. They were surprised that she had yet to wake up after all they did.
"I don't know but I have to get a picture of this. You know, she almost looks like her head's been cut off like this. It would save many people a lot of trouble if that was true," Moonbay said as she took the camera directly out of Irvine's hands and took a picture of Amy's head since she was buried in the sand.
The clicking of the camera made Amy wake up. "She wakes up to a camera click but not us burying her in a hole," Irvine said with a laugh which Moonbay happily joined in with him. "Three, two, one," Irvine counted down to what he knew was about to come. He had the camera ready as well.
"Hey what's going on? I can't move,' said Amy not know the position that she was in. She opened her eyes fully and noticed that the sand was right under her head but there was no body. She then realized that she was buried in the sand. She looked up to see a grinning Irvine and Moonbay. "Hey you'd better get me out of here this instant!" commanded Amy with a scowl on her face.
"Or you'll do what? You're not exactly in any sort of position to make demands towards us right now. Anyways, there's no need to lose your head over it," Moonbay asked speaking of the fact that she looked almost decapitated with how they placed her in the hole.
Amy looked around frantically trying to find some sort of escape but she didn't seem to find anyone who didn't care to notice or just didn't care enough to help her out of the hole. She couldn't even see her boyfriend from the angles she actually could see. "Van!" yelled Amy struggling as hard as she could.
"You won't be getting any help from him because he's off somewhere far away from here. All I did was ask him to find something for me. He is too nice at times," Moonbay said with a smirk before her and Irvine walked off. They walked backwards because they just enjoyed watching her be helpless with no one to help her out this time. Usually it's the other was around, she has everyone help her.
When Amy saw them turn around no longer even watching her, she grew into a bit of a frenzy. "Hey! Get back here. Wait till I tell my daddy!" Amy yelled but it had no effect as they just waved goodbye at her as they sat back down in the seats and enjoyed what was left of the day.
"Do you hear something Irvine?" Moonbay asked grabbing another drink that Fiona probably picked up while they were doing their job. It was too bad. She'd disappeared as well and wouldn't get to see her worst enemy helpless.
"This can't get any worse," Amy said angrily. She spoke to soon as a crab walked right in front of her face snapping its pincers. She stared at it for a second before doing the only thing that came to mind, she screamed.
Van was waiting in line at a stand. He was hungry and they happened to be selling appetizing watermelons. Unfortunately, the line was pretty long and he was at the very back of the line. He almost didn't notice Fiona come until she spoke to him.
"Hey there Van," Fiona said getting in the line right behind Van. She figured it would be a good time to talk to him since they couldn't be seen by Amy from her hole and there didn't appear to be anyone they knew. Raven and Reese kept to themselves so she figured that she didn't have to worry about either of them.
"Oh, hey Fiona," Van said as he turned around finally noticing that she was there. It made him kind f nervous because he knew that Amy was nearby. "You do know that she's nearby, don't you?" Van asked nervously as he looked from side to side thinking that she'd pop up at any moment to find the two of them together.
Fiona just shrugged since she knew that it wasn't possible for her to get out of that hold for a long time. "Last I saw Irvine and Moonbay were burying her in the sand while she was sleeping. Don't think she'll be getting out for a while," Fiona said with a giggle remembering how she looked as Fiona left the group.
Van had to try and stop the urge to laugh. "Oh well. It might give her some time to cool of a little. She is way too short tempered at times," Van said looking back at the stand. "She tried to blame me for us losing the game when she's the one that kept making all the mistakes. I thought she was supposed to be good at that game," Van said as the line finally seemed to start moving a little.
Fiona looked at the stand but couldn't make out what they were selling from her current position. "So what're they selling that would want to make you wait in such a long line for it?" she asked standing right beside Van.
Van stomached growled a little and he laughed in embarrassment. "I was getting a bit hungry so I thought that I'd pick up something to eat. The were selling watermelons here and I thought it sounded very appetizing," he said rubbing his stomach which kept growling from lack of food.
"That does sound awfully appetizing," she said as they finally made it to the front of the line and got their food before walking to a nearby bench. They both sat down and ate their watermelon quietly before Fiona spoke again. "I didn't think that I would see you here," Fiona said spitting out some seeds that made its way into her mouth.
Van was silent for a second before he turned to look at Fiona. "I was planning to just come alone to get away from everything and relax but she just decided to tag along with me before I could say anything. I would just have preferred to be alone. Because of her tagging along, I won't be able to stay here as long as I'd hoped to," Van said placing down his watermelon and stared towards the sky.
"How long are you planning on staying?" Fiona asked picking up the note of disappointment in his voice. She's offer to let him stay with her, Moonbay, and Irvine but that wouldn't go too smoothly with Moonbay.
"Just until the end of the day. I wish I could stay longer but I don't have the money for a hotel. I had enough money to stay for a day or two but it takes too much money with Amy and I don't have enough money anymore. Amy would probably pay for it but most likely she would only want one room for the both of us," Van said with a nervous laugh.
"I really could have gone without knowing that," Fiona said in a disgusted voice. She had disturbing images in her head that she immediately wanted out. "I had better get back before they start thinking things since both you and I are gone," Fiona said as she stood up and ran ahead of him.
Van stood up and he watched her running off. He couldn't seem to help it as his eyes wondered a bit at her in her bathing suit. He quickly shook his head in frustration scolding himself for looking at his friend like that. "Don't think of stuff like that," he told himself.
Moonbay was lying down trying to get a tan. Irvine said he could get it since he skin was already very naturally tan as it was but she just ignored him. She looked up as Fiona came walking back to the two of them carrying two extra plates that she got just for the two of them. "Oh goody. You're too kind Fiona," Moonbay said grabbing on of the plates and Irvine did the same.
Fiona took a seat on the spare chair and then a thought came to her head that had to do with what her and Van had talked about in their short talk. "So how long are we staying here Moonbay?" Fiona asked when she was sure that she actually had Moonbay's attention instead of Moonbay's attention being on the watermelon.
"The entire week if we can. I've saved up a lot of money from a job I have been doing for the past few months. I've been preparing for this before you came but it is a lot more fun to have both of you with me," Moonbay said proudly spitting out several of her seeds at once. "By the way, like our work of art?" Moonbay asked pointing off to the side.
Fiona looked over and saw Amy struggling and failing to get out of the sand. She also noticed a huge red mark on her cheek. "What happened to her?" Fiona asked as her face scrunched up a bit noticing how painful the large red welt looked. She was glad that she wasn't the one that had it.
Irvine and Moonbay looked at each other for a second before saying in unison, "Crab." It freaked Fiona out how they could say it so calmly but when she looked closer, she could see that they were doing everything in the power to stop from laughing.
"That has got to be painful" Fiona said rubbing her own cheek as if she could feel the pain just by looking at the large red welt covering up most of her cheek. It looked like she was blushing but Fiona knew better since Amy wasn't modest enough to blush at anything. Something that got annoying with how confident she was with just about anything. "So what are we going to be doing this week?" Fiona asked trying to drop the subject because she didn't want Amy to ruin her break.
Moonbay just grinned as she looked towards Fiona. "All sorts of things. Going to the beach like today. I've always wanted to go scuba diving, and maybe a few other things," Moonbay said before turning around and started working on her back. "For right now, I just want to try and get a tan," she muttered with a content sigh.
Fiona looked a little confused as she looked at Moonbay's skin. "But you're skins already naturally tanned, why would you need to get another one?" Fiona asked which cause Irvine to break out in laughter since he asked the exact same question and also caused Moonbay to give Fiona a grunt in annoyance at her question.
Moonbay turned towards Fiona with a playful glare. "Hey! A beautiful woman like me can get a better one if I want to! So don't get on my case about it!" Moonbay said before turning and ignoring Fiona in case she continues to ask the question. She growled when she heard Irvine still chuckling and he immediately shut up.
Fiona figured it would be best to just drop the question before she gets on Moonbay's nerves enough for Moonbay to just leave her here. "About all our plans, do you have enough money to do that?" Fiona asked a little skeptically eyeing Moonbay carefully. She didn't want to get left here because they spent all the money and they didn't have enough for the gas to get home.
"Sure. Like I said I got a lot from a job I have been doing, some from my parents. I have enough to let us do a good amount of things while we are here, and still have a bit left over for supplies on the way home," Moonbay said happily and almost in a way that made it as if she was able to read Fiona's worries.
Fiona then felt a little more assured that they wouldn't be stuck in the middle of nowhere on the way home so she just started to walk towards the water. They did come to a beach so she figured that it would be good if she actually got into the water while they were there. "Then I guess this is going to be a fun week," Fiona said with a smile as she dived in ignoring the salty taste that came to her mouth in the process.
Meanwhile, Amy just remained there glaring at the three friends. She glared at Fiona the most as she playfully splashed around in the water. It was definitely getting a bit of attention from the many people their age. 'What do they see in her?' she asked herself bitterly. "Will someone please get me out of here!" she hated being ignored and everyone happened to be doing that. It made it worse that all the attention was on Fiona. "Where are you Van?" she yelled out in frustration.
