Title: Isaac on Vacation

Premise: Dead Space. Isaac and Ellie take a vacation together to some planet of tropical islands before they have to go get ready for the events of Dead Space 3.

Personal Comments: Ponies have been attacking my mind all night (with only 2 days left before the premier of Season 3). I was chatting with my friend about collaborating on a Dead Space crossover story, I ended up watching a bunch of youtube videos for Dead Space and Dead Rising, and this idea spawned.

My mind was collapsing. I was pretty organized and busy all day. I guess my brain needed a break. Wish me luck on my psychology test tomorrow though!

Listened to some relaxing sounds of waves on an island while listening to this.

Isaac lay back in his lawn chair on the beach, letting the warm sun bake him up. Ellie lay down in a chair beside him, each in a bathing suit. Ellie had a bottle of Corona Extra in her hand, Isaac held a coconut martini, with an empty beer bottle by the leg of his chair.

They just slay their, baking in the sun, listening to the waves swishing back and forth before their eyes. The island was completely silent other than that, since they had rented the beach for the afternoon. The waves drew in, and then drew back out, as though the beach was breathing, and the couple's breathing was in sync with it.

The looked out into the horizon. The light turquoise water reflected the clear blue sky so beautifully.

It was perfect. Absolutely nothing seemed wrong with this.

Isaac took another sip of his sweet, cold drink, and then exhaled.

"Wow," He spoke up, grabbing Ellie's attention. "This... this is... just... I mean wow." His brain was numb. It's been such a long time since he turned the old think-melon off.

"Didn't I tell ya this would be great?" Ellie's voice asked.

"Yeah," Isaac replied. "I should listen to you more."

"Yes. You should." Ellie took another sip of her beer.

Just then, Isaac's phone rang, playing the jeopardy theme-song as its ring tone.

The two of them nearly jumped to their feet at the sudden noise before they found the source.

"You brought your phone?" Ellie huffed in annoyance. "Are you kidding me?"

"Okay, maybe not the best idea," Isaac muttered as he smiled awkwardly. He reached down and picked up the phone and answered it.

After a two-minute call, he hung up.

"Who was it?" Ellie asked.

"John."

"What did he want?"

"He and his wife are going bowling tonight. He asked if we wanted to come."

"Sounds like fun."

"That's why I said we're going."

"Great!"

"I'm just glad he didn't wanna talk about getting ready for the trip next month."

"We'll worry about that when the time comes. Right now, let's just relax and enjoy this, and rest-up for it, you know?"

"Yeah. Right."

"I just hope you won't do tonight what you did last night and think the sunset is casting the Marker's aura on the world!"

"Right. He-he. Sorry about that."

"Well, I'd probably go through some of that too if I went through half the crap you have."

"Yeah. Probably."

The couple sat in silence for a moment before Ellie spoke up again.

"Hey, wanna go back to the hotel and take a dip in the pool?"

"Okay. Sure."

Both of them had a really hard time getting up from their cozy lawn chairs.
