Morning
The sun started to rise and cast a bronze hue just over the foggy horizon. The burning orange red spread out and rooted into the night blue. Only a light subtle reflection of the rising sun gave sight to the calm ocean water.
Guerrmo woke up first and then Terra second. She found him sitting at the shoreline watching the morning come to them, so she sits by him and snuggles.
"It's amazing how beautiful the simplest things are that we don't have time to admire." She said dreamily as she inhaled the salty air.
"Ya, we seek the world for pleasures and satiate our producers and drain our wallets. But in the end the real things to enjoy are right out there but for how long?" he finished with a question to himself, letting Terra hug his arm tighter.
"We shouldn't worry ourselves over such inevitable things. More so we should live through it and try to raise a generation who will see what we see and help what's going to be left of our world." Guerrmo blushed, he knew what she meant by that in its double meaning and all.
"Hey should we go to that Waterbuger by the bridge before heading back into town for some coffee and breakfast?" he asked her kissing her forehead.
"I think that's a splendid idea. Oh did you notice the two disappear last night?" she smirked.
"Yup, I'm a light sleeper so I saw him and Aelita leave to the dunes." He told her.
"I wonder what they did?" the blonde haired girl asked as she picked up a flack of dried kelp.
"We shouldn't meddle in another person's affairs, who knows what unwarranted surprises await them if we should continue investigating." He spoke the truth.
"Ya, I guess your right." Terra responded as they stared into the now half risen sun still covered by the fog.
Back in the truck….
Aelita woke up to see Terra gone but the other two girls still fast asleep. She stretched out and navigated through her blanket and outside. The cold sand felt good on her feet and woke her up even more, a few vehicles passed by on the main sandy beach road. Their lights still on and most of the drivers had something they were drinking.
Closing the door she began to walk to the bed of the truck hoping her guardian was awake. Unluckily though, he laid on his side and slept on his side snoring. Aelita leaned on the side of the truck closest to him and tickled his ear and nose. It worked and he awoke stretching like a sleepy housecat and he opened his eyes to the sky.
"Looks like it's still too early to wake up?" he smiled.
"Don't you want to join Guerrmo and Terra at the shore, you and me?" Aelita asked him playfully, messing with his hair as well.
"Sure why not." Nathan got up and jumped from the bed ramp onto the chilly soft sand.
He danced a little bit at the icy touch till his feet got use to the temperature. Making Aelita laugh in the process and getting the couple at the waters edge attention.
"Hey morning early birds." Guerrmo chuckled to the black haired boy and pink haired girl sitting to their right.
"Your just in time to see the sun rise." Terra welcomed their friends.
"Morning." Aelita and Nathan smiled to the two.
"We were wondering, do you think a little stop by Waterburger for some breakfast would be good before we leave to home?" Guerrmo asked.
"I don't see why not, I vote yes lets." Nathan passed his side.
"I could use some eggs and pancakes myself." Aelita rubbed her tummy.
"Well we will wait for Kila and Yumi to wake up before we pass the final decision then." Terra said leaning onto her boyfriends shoulder.
With that, they waited till the sun shone brightly over the fog bank in the distance. Yumi and Kila surprisingly woke up at the same time and both agreed for some fast food and coffee. They all packed up and cleaned the area of any mess. The truck looked sandy and messy from the salt build up being parked there all night but decent to say the least. So they all jumped into the truck and rode to the nearest restaurant that other beach goers like themselves would most likely be at.
Indeed, when they parked at the half busy fast food business, five cars lined up in the drive in and seven vans, trucks, and cars sat in the front parking spaces. They went in and saw a lot of people dressed up for summer fun but really tired and hungry, as were they.
"Well at least they got their food so there's no line." Nathan said with a grin.
"Why don't you girls order first?" Guerrmo curdiously bowed to them.
The girls thanked him and went up to the counter to order.
"Hi how may I help you?" the worker asked.
"Um, I'll have a number 3." Kila said.
"I'll take the breakfast special with bacon?" Yumi said.
"Can I go with a…..ummm….a small coffee with a cinnamon roll." Aelita told the worker.
"And a number 6 for me." Terra said.
"Okay will that be all?" the worker typed in the requests.
"No we are included as well, both me and him will take the deluxe and," Guerrmo turned to the girls, "You guys want some milk with your orders?".
The girls nodded to his question.
"Okay and six milks with a coffee as well." The tall athlete said.
The worker recited back the order and everything checked out okay. So they paid and took a number and took a large table by the window. It was not long before a worker came by with the food and left with the number thing.
The gang separated their foods and began to eat peacefully under the jazz playing on the intercoms. Which by the way, created a quite relaxing mood and small talk among all the patrons in the restaurant. Yumi looked around as she ate her biscuit with egg, cheese, and sausage patty. She saw a man drinking from a cup of steaming coffee and reading his newspaper, a small family with three kids ate away as the mother cleaned her youngest son's mouth of the pancake syrup, other tables had teens and college type people talking while others laughed at in group jokes. Yumi liked this new place, like Kadic almost but that was a long whiles ago.
Though she when she looked back to her friends, she did notice her sister and Nathan sitting pretty close to each other. But when Yumi gave it further thought, it really didn't surprise her any more. As long as the two may have spent together in her and the others absence who really knows what kind of bond they formed. It wasn't up to her or the others who Aelita would feel affections for, she had to respect that. But when Jeremie gets here things might get a little dicey. Just then Yumi was broken from her train of thought.
"These cinnamon rolls are so delicious…" Aelita popped the last small piece into her mouth and chewed it with coffee, "Can I get another one?"
"Sure, use my five get as much as you want cause all you ordered was that and a medium coffee." Nathan gave her the money from his wallet and she thanked him.
The green eyed girl came back with three more of the delectable sweets with another coffee to boot.
"Wow someone's going to be hyper later on." Kila laughed.
"I don't know if I will finish them all so I'll save the leftovers." Aelita blushed at her embarrassing hunger.
Everyone finished their food and they soon left the place and back to their boarding school. The boys hauled the cooler to the kitchen for Kila to clean and store the way extra shark steaks. Terra, Aelita, and Yumi helped take in the bags of cloths and accessories while the boys took the heavy stuff back to the student recreations center and sign it back in. After which they all went for some refreshing cleaning showers.
