Gaara walked along a trail of dirt, wandering in no specific direction. When all of a sudden Temari glomped him from behind.
"Gaara-channnn!" Temari said as she almost strangled him.
"What is it?" Gaara asked.
Temari let go of him and walked to where he could see her without having to turn around. She held up three tickets. "I won a contest called, 'Who's fan is the biggest?' and they gave me three tickets to the beach. I'm taking you and Kankuro with me."
"How nice." Gaara smiled lightly. This might be the thing he needed.
"This beach house is sooo gorgeous!" Kankuro said as they entered. Instead of wearing his black costume he wore for the Chuunin Exam, he wore a pink version of it. "Oh! I'll have to go pick some of the beautiful flowers we saw on the way here to put in a vase! Gaara-kun, which color of flower would you like in your room?"
"Some of those light blue ones." Gaara replied. "I'm going to go look at the beach."
"Gaara-chan, it's almost sunset!" Temari whined, calling him 'chan' instead of 'kun' for no reason. "Oh well. Do what you want. I'll order in pizza."
Gaara walked down to the beach and took off his shoes so he could feel the sand in between his toes. "It feels so care-free out here!" He exclaimed as he stretched. He decided it was time to go back to the house.
"You can't expect me to eat that greasy thing." Kankuro held a handkerchief up to his nose; it was a habit of his when he saw something that utterly disgusted him.
"It's only pizza, relax. Besides this is my trip." Temari put a slice of cheese pizza onto Kankuro's plate.
"Get that nasty thing off my dining saucer!" Kankuro tried to shoo the piece of pizza away with his hand that wasn't putting the handkerchief in his face.
"You two, settle down. Kankuro, if you want to starve you can not eat this pizza. But I'm sure no one in this room cares if you die." Gaara took a seat at the table and pulled a slice of pepperoni pizza onto his own plate.
"He's right about that." Temari put a cheese piece onto her plate.
The three of them ate in silence. Even though Kankuro often made small grunts of displeasure as he ate the greasy pizza.
"Gaara-chan! Will you put sun tan lotion on my back?" Temari asked as she sat on a white towel on the beach. She was dressed in a white bikini.
"Why don't you ask Kankuro to? You know he has a phobia of water." Gaara was almost in the water.
"Kankuro! Get over here and put sunscreen on my back!" Temari ordered. Kankuro obeyed. Temari had made many threats the night before and Kankuro knew they weren't empty threats so he decided to just keep her happy. He rubbed the sunscreen onto her back dutifully. Today he sported a pink Speedo.
Gaara was wearing black swimming trunks. He stepped into the ocean water and suddenly felt relaxed. Now, if only he had a float so that he could go out into deeper water. Since he couldn't swim he just sat down in the shallows until a crab nipped his backside.
That night they began packing their bags.
"It's such a shame that we only had three days for this trip." Temari whined as she put her giant fan into a giant suitcase.
"I was having such a lovely time too…" Kankuro folded his pink Speedo and set it into his own suitcase.
"At least we had fun while it lasted." Gaara smiled. This was the most fun he had ever had.
