Not really much to say except DoubleKK, thanks for reviewing :) I took your advice and separated my pararaphs this time. Hope it isn't as cluttered as before.

So, this is my second drabble-shot. And I hope you like it.

2. Bandana

"I can't believe summer is finally here!" squealed May excitedly to her best friend, Stu, as they walked down to the beach. It was a clear, sunny day, and both were wearing shorts and t-shirts over their swimming suits. Stu frowned.

"You're just excited because Kai comes during the summer," he said flatly, looking at his feet.

May blushed slightly. "That's not why," she whined softly, and looked away to hide her flushed cheeks.

"You're blushing, May, and you say he is not the reason?" teased Stu, but his voice came out somewhat forced. The way it did when he was irritated. May glanced at him and could see his brows furrowed, and so decided not to reply. She knew perfectly well when to argue with Stu and when not to. This was definitely not a good time.

.

They reached the beach a little after four. Stu quickly left her side and ran over to their spot before anyone else could sit there – even though they were the only ones there. He had already spread his blue towel when May caught up with him.

"No one's here, Stu, no need to run," she grinned, spreading her orange towel next to his.

"Well, what if Kai suddenly had come over and sat on our spot?" Stu inquired, watching the waves crash on the shore. He picked a sea shell and put it next to his ear. She, meanwhile, merely blinked.

"He wouldn't, Stu. It is our spot and everyone knows that. We would have kicked him - or anyone else who dared to sit here – out."

Stu finally looked at her, his eyes smiling. She had practically chosen him over Kai. Or not.

"Hey, want a snow cone? Never mind, I'll bring you one," she babbled and ran away to Kai's shack before he could reply. Stu scowled, furiously throwing the shell on his hand as far as he could.

.

May came back half an hour lately to find a fuming Stu cursing under his breath. She was now wearing a purple bandana over her head, complimenting her messy braids, but not her red attire. She skipped happily and sat down next to Stu, grinning at his scowl.

"How does it look?" she asked. "Kai gave it to me as a belated birthday gift. He said it looked good on me. What do you think?"

Stu looked at her, trying to soften his glare. He couldn't blame her for liking Kai. Or him for giving her his bandana and making her immensely happy. Plus, she looked gorgeous with his bandana.

"It looks great, May," he said honestly. "But where is my snow cone?"

May's eyes widen as she blushed. "I'm sorry! I forgot! I'll just go again and … "

"No!" Stu exclaimed loudly, cutting in. He sighed. "Let's just go swimming, okay?"

"Sure."

.

They both stripped down to their swimwear and left their sandals next to their towels. May took off her bandana, afraid it might get wet. Stu tried to hide his grin.

"Hey, go ahead and dive in first. I'll… I have to do something first."

When May had left, he quickly took the bandana and ran, finding a place to hide it. When he was done, he went back to their spot, and dived in after May, notably happier.

When they were drying and putting back on their clothes, May noticed the bandana was missing.

She looked frantically everywhere she could, and obliged Stu to help her.

"Are you sure it was there when you got into the water?" she kept asking.

"I'm sure, May, it was there," he kept on replying, hiding his mischievous grin.

.

So after hours of searching, May finally gave up. It was obvious the bandana wasn't appearing. She went home, gloomily, just to find a package on her door. She opened it and grinned.

Next morning, Stu was knocked out by a huge hug and a big kiss on his cheek. If he had known, he would have given her his favorite cap – the one she loved so much - ages ago.
