Chapter 1: Visiting the Beach
The girl starts to open her blue eyes and she wakes up and finds herself in her room and she's on her bed and the girl sighs in relief and starts to go back to sleep but as she does a boy with messy dirty blond hair, blue eyes, wearing an orange short sleeved shirt with a red opened shirt with blue short sleeves over the orange shirt, black shorts with zippers on both sides, and blue and green shoes appears and surprises the girl making her scream in shock and she jumps off her bed and onto the ground and the boy laughs at the girl's shock.
"L-Luke, you scared me half to death! Why did you do that?" The girl asked annoyed.
"Noel, have you forgotten something? You're supposed to be up five minutes ago. We're supposed to be at the beach." The boy named Luke said.
"Wait...that's TODAY?!" The girl named Noel asked shocked.
"Yep. It's past 10:10." Luke said.
"Oh, no...! I overslept! I have to hurry and be ready!" Noel said. "Can you wait for me?" Noel asked.
"Sure, but you'd better hurry." Luke said leaving Noel's room.
"Oh, dear...! I'm so stupid! I-I have to hurry and get dressed and ready now!" Noel said as she gets up and starts putting on her clothes.
Noel starts getting dressed and is wearing her cyan hairband on her pink hair, her yellow hooded sleeveless shirt with the silver zipper in the middle and orange and pink flower petals on the right side of the shirt, her orange short skirt with the silver rose hanging on the left side, her pink bracelet on her right wrist, and her white and blue shoes and then she leaves her room and meets Luke outside the house but as she hurries to him she trips and falls to the ground.
"Ow..." Noel said.
"Lemme help you." Luke said extending his hand to help Noel up.
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't realize I overslept. That never happened to me before and..." Noel was cut off by Luke placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Hey, chill out, Sis. There's no shame in oversleeping. I just didn't want you to be late for our day at the beach. That's all." Luke said.
"I-I'm so sorry. I just had a weird dream. I was in a strange place and I landed in water and it took me to some places and there was this huge black dragon that tried to eat me! I couldn't breathe or..." Noel was cut off again by Luke who is patting her head for comfort.
"Relax. It was just a dream. Dreams tend to get weird like that. A dream will always be a dream, no matter how wild they are." Luke said.
"..." Noel said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Luke asked.
"W-Well, I don't think it was a dream. I-It felt r-real." Noel said.
"Don't worry. It's okay. Let's just get to the beach. It'll help you calm down." Luke said.
"O-Okay." Noel said.

(Beach)
Noel and Luke make their way to the beach and they later on arrive at the beach where they find another girl with long light red hair, green eyes, wearing a teal short sleeved shirt, a light green long medium skirt, and orange shoes.
"Luke! You came!" The girl said hugging Luke.
"Hey, Ruby! I told ya I'd be here!" Luke said hugging Ruby back.
"Hi, Noel. I thought you were gonna be late or never come here." Ruby said.
"Hello, Ruby. I-I'm sorry for causing us to be late. I-I just had a b-bad night." Noel said.
"You poor thing. I hope you'll be okay." Ruby said.
"T-Thank you." Noel said.
"So, Ruby, any reason you wanted us to come here?" Luke asked.
"Oh, I just needed a sparring partner today for some exercise. I gotta keep myself in shape while still training." Ruby explained.
"A sparring partner, huh? Ya coulda asked." Luke said and he turns to Noel. "Wanna join, Sis?" Luke offered.
"T-Thanks, but I d-don't like fighting..." Noel answered.
"That's okay. I can handle one partner. You can watch if you like." Ruby said.
"That's great, but I think I'll just explore the beach." Noel said.
"Okay then. I'll come get you when my sparring's over." Luke said.
"Okay. Have fun." Noel said.
"So, where to spar?" Luke asked.
"Follow me." Ruby said as she moves and Luke follows but stops and turns to Noel.
"Have fun here. If someone gives you trouble, talk to me and I'll take care of it." Luke said and Noel nods and then he leaves.
Noel starts to explore the beach by herself and she sees everyone in the beach either playing or relaxing but as Noel keeps exploring she hears a cry and so Noel goes through the beach to follow where the scream is coming from and later on Noel finds a little girl sitting on the sand crying.
"What's the matter? Why are you crying?" Noel asked.
"I wanted to build a sand castle, but then some big bullies came and took my pale and shovel and hide them somewhere and now I can't build a sand castle!" The little girl said and starts crying again.
"That's horrible. I can try and find your pale and shovel for you." Noel said.
"You'd do that?" The little girl asked.
"Sure. They have to be around here somewhere." Noel said.
"Thank you. I'll wait here when you come back with my pale and shovel." The little girl said.
Noel goes through the beach to try and find the little girl's pale and shovel and as she continues to explore she walks up to a palm tree and as she looks up she finds what looks like a red pale on the tree.
"I think this is the girl's pale." Noel said as she climbs up the palm tree and reaches to the top and manages to grab the red pale before going back down to the ground.
Noel continues to explore the beach to try and find the little girl's shovel next and while exploring the beach she finds what looks like a yellow shovel in the water and so Noel goes over to the water and manages to pick up the yellow shovel and walks off the water.
"I'm sure this is the little girl's. I should bring these two back to her." Noel said.
Noel makes her way back to the little girl and she shows the pale and shovel.
"Are these yours?" Noel asked.
"Yes! Those are mine. You found 'em! Thank you!" The little girl said taking the pale and shovel. "Now I can build my sand castle! Thank you, miss!" The little girl said.
"You're welcome." Noel said.
"I'm gonna make the biggest sand castle in the whole beach. I'll make you princess of it!" The little girl said and Noel giggles.
"That sounds nice. Thank you." Noel said.
Noel continues to explore through the beach but just then she hears an angry shout and so Noel follows the shout and she finds a young man stomping on the ground near a broken surfboard and so Noel walks over to him.
"Excuse me, mister. Why are you angry?" Noel asked.
"My surfboard broke in half when I was trying to surf that big wave. Stupid wave destroy it and I don't enough munny to get a new one." The young man explained.
"That's terrible." Noel said.
"Tell me about it. This day's a drag if I don't get a new surfboard soon." The young man said.
Noel goes through the beach and later on she finds someone which is another young man walking over to a store and so Noel walks over to the other young man.
"Excuse me, but why are you going into the store with your surfboard?" Noel asked.
"Oh, I'm getting rid of this thing. Tired of having it around. I'm just officially done with surfing." The other young man answered.
"Oh, well. Is it okay if I have it?" Noel asked.
"You? You don't look like the surfer type." The other young man said.
"No, but I just saw a person who broke his old surfboard and I want to try and give him a new one." Noel said.
"Really? Well, if he wants a new surfboard, he can have this. He'll might need it more than I do." The other young man said giving Noel his surfboard.
"Thank you, mister." Noel said.
"No problem. Hope he likes it. Looks like it's catching rays for me." The other young man said as he leaves.
"I think the man would like this." Noel said.
Noel makes her way back to the young man and gives him the surfboard.
"Um, I thought you'd might want to have this." Noel said.
"Whoa! This one looks cool. Where'd you get this?" The young man asked.
"The other man wanted to get rid of it, but I convinced him to give it up to you." Noel answered.
"Thanks. This calls for a test." The young man said as he goes to the waters and tries his new surfboard and later on he comes back. "Heh. No sweat! This one's way better! Thanks a bunch!" The young man said.
"You're very welcome." Noel said.
"I'm gonna have more fun with this. See ya 'round, kid!" The young man said as he goes back to the water.
Noel continues through the beach but just then she finds a boy wandering around the beach for something and so Noel walks over to the boy.
"Are you looking for something?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. I'm trying to find my dog. We were playing Frisbee together, but then I threw the disc too hard and my dog followed it, but then he didn't come back and now I'm worried." The boy explained.
"Would you like some help?" Noel offered.
"That'd be great. Thanks." The boy said.
Noel searches the beach for the dog and later on she finds what looks like a cave but as she arrives at the entrance to the cave she hears a whimper and so she enters the cave.
(Cave)
Noel enters the cave and follows to find where the whimpering is coming from and she's at the end of the cave and she finds a brown furred dog with a green disc.
"I think that's the boy's dog." Noel said walking over to the dog. "Your owner's getting worried about you. Let's get you back to him." Noel said as she picks up the dog and the disc.
Noel walks out of the cave and then finds the boy.
"Hey! You found him and the disc!" The boy said as Noel lets the dog go and it runs to the boy. "Thanks! I dunno what I'd do without your help." The boy said.
"It's no big deal." Noel said.
"Well, we're gonna go a safer spot to play Frisbee some more. Thanks for your help. C'mon, boy!" The boy said as he and the dog continue playing Frisbee.
Noel keeps moving through the beach until she finds Luke and Ruby and so she runs over to them.
"There you are, Sis." Luke said.
"You're done with your sparring already?" Noel asked.
"Yeah. Ruby's tough." Luke said.
"No. You were holding back." Ruby said smirking.
"Was not!" Luke replied and Noel giggled.
"Well, I think you're strong enough, but you just didn't want to hurt a little lady." Ruby said.
"Shut up! I could beat you. I was just...warming up." Luke said.
"Whatever you say. Well, I think it's about time for me to go home. I'll see you two later." Ruby said as she leaves.
"It's getting late. We should head home." Luke said.
"Okay." Noel said.
"Did you have fun?" Luke asked.
"Yes I did. I was just helping people with their problems." Noel said.
"That's my little sis! You have a big and pure heart! People oughta admire that." Luke said.
(Noel's House)
Later on Noel and Luke start to head home and later on they arrive back at their house and go inside.
"I'm gonna take a shower. I'm sweatin' like a pig during my spar with Ruby. I'll be out in a few minutes." Luke said.
"Okay then. I'll just stay here." Noel said.
Luke makes his way upstairs and goes for the shower and while Luke is taking his shower Noel makes her way to the living room and enters there and sits on a chair waiting for her brother to finish with his shower.
A few minutes past and as she continues to wait Noel looks out the window and looks at the setting sun but then while looking at the sun setting she sees what looks like a mysterious figure from afar shocking Noel.
"Who is that?" Noel asked.
"Noel! I'm coming back down!" Luke called.
"Okay!" Noel called back and then she turns back to the window but then she finds the mysterious figure gone. "He's gone. Who was that?" Noel asked.
Luke comes back downstairs and finds Noel in the living room.
"Hey, Sis. What's the matter?" Luke asked.
"N-Nothing." Noel answered.
"I see. Hey, I've been wanting to ask; during my spar with Ruby, we agreed to have a picnic together at Luminous Plain tomorrow. I was wondering if you'd like to come along with us." Luke said.
"I'd love to." Noel said.
"Great. We'll leave at 9:30." Luke said and Noel nods.
"I promise not to oversleep this time." Noel said.
"Don't worry about that. Just get ready tomorrow." Luke said as he leaves the living room. "I'll get dinner started right now." Luke said entering the kitchen.
"Okay then. I'll wait." Noel said as she stays in the living room.
