Chapter 13-Beach Day. (Credit goes to Thenightstalker250 for the idea.)
Dash smiled as he, Mirage, Karen, and Violet stood on the pier overlooking a beach.
"Thanks for inviting us to the beach, Aunt Mirage." Violet said with a smile.
"No problem, Violet." Mirage said with a smile as the four of them walked down onto the sand and set up their beach chairs, towels, and umbrellas before Karen bought them drinks.
"Ah, nothing like a nice day on the beach to soothe your troubles away." Karen said as she took a sip of her lemonade.
"You said it, Karen." Violet said as she took a sip of tea while they watched Dash and Mirage in the ocean.
"Hey, come on, Dash, cut it out!" Mirage said while laughing as Dash shot his Super Soaker at her.
"What's wrong, Aunt Mirage? Chicken?!" Dash shouted as he shot at her again before ceasing fire and deciding to swim. Mirage smiled as she swam beside him.
"I'm really glad I decided to bring us all to the beach. I've been wanting to spend a day with both my niece and my nephew." Mirage said.
"I'm glad you did, too, Aunt Mirage." Dash said as they swam a little farther out. They swam for a little while before they heard something. They looked and saw a giant wave headed right for them. With no time to swim back to shore, they braced themselves before it hit them. When Mirage was able to see again, she looked at where Dash had been, but, to her horror, saw no sign of him.
"Dash?! Dash?!" she called frantically, getting Violet and Karen's attention. When they saw why she was calling, they got scared, too.
Mirage started to get tears in her eyes before she got an idea of where Dash might be. She quickly ducked underwater and looked around, seeing nothing. She swam deeper and looked around more before she finally saw Dash. He had been knocked out and his foot was tangled in seaweed. Mirage swam down quickly and grabbed him and pulled. The seaweed had a strong grip, but Mirage proved she was tougher than it by pulling hard enough that Dash's foot came free. She quickly swam back up to the surface and brought Dash back to shore. She laid him on a towel in front of Karen and Violet, who were extremely worried.
Mirage lightly shook Dash, "Dash, are you all right?! Please wake up!" she begged. Dash then suddenly coughed, spitting up a little water before he regained his breath. Karen and Violet sighed in relief.
"Dash! Thank goodness!" Mirage said, crying tears of joy. Dash looked at her and smiled.
"Told you that you just have to be a great aunt to be my hero." he said, making Mirage smile widely.
For the rest of the day, the four of them swam in the ocean, being careful of any more waves before they hit an ice cream parlor and a souvenir shop before heading home. Once back at the Parr House, when Dash got out of the car, he hugged Mirage gratefully.
"Thanks for being my hero, Aunt Mirage." Dash said as Mirage hugged him back with a wide smile.
"You're welcome, Dash." Mirage said, crying tears of joy again.
