Day 4: Beach Episode
The afternoon was getting late, sunlight stretching golden over the sand. Yuki and Sumika had swum out to the sandbar, where they were chatting. Takayuki had barely moved all day, but it looked like he had nearly finished his book. Kouji was digging up above the tide line.
Rion and Mifuyu had spent most of the afternoon working on the shogun of all sandcastles. Mifuyu had insisted on making it a proper samurai castle, and had gathered dozens of small rocks to shore up the curved lower walls. Rion was in charge of the upper reaches, which she decorated with beach glass and shells.
"There," she said, pressing one last spiral shell into a tower. "I think it's done."
Mifuyu sat back and surveyed their work. "I think you're right. Now all it needs is an army."
"I think it might be a bit late for that," Rion said, just as Kouji called over. "I finished the fire pit! We should get it started before it gets dark."
"Oh, that's right!" Mifuyu exclaimed. "I was going to cook dinner tonight. Want to help, Rion-chan? I can show you how to cook over an open fire."
"Okay," Rion said. "I'll give it a try."
A/N: Meh. "Beach Episode" was the hardest prompt for me to come up with anything for. I tried, of course, but nothing went anywhere. The other pairings i'm doing for this week, i couldn't even get them to start, but this seemed like it could at least be posted, even if it's far from complete.
