I was extremely thankful when the bu finally stopped. I stretched as I got off the bus, feeling the hot summer breeze on my face. "WE'RE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEREE!!!!"

Axel hit the back of my head as I did a triumphant dance. "Alright. We're here. No need to dance."

I was about to call Axel a kill joy when Sora, Roxas' twin brother, jumped out of the bus and started dancing around Axel. I joined him as we sang/chanted. "SUMMER! I CANT BELIEVE ITS SUMMER! LETS BOTHER AXEL TO DEATH!!! WE WONT STOP UNTIL HE DANCES ALONG WITH US!!!!"

Axel death glared both of us but we merely shrugged it off. Roxas, accompanied by Zexion, calmly got off the bus. Sora approached Roxas and hugged him gleefully. I walked up to them and stood next to Zexion. Zexion reached into his pocket and handed me my iPod. "Thanks. You have a lot of cool songs." I smiled and retrieved my iPod, placing it in my pocket. "Thanks."

"ROXAS!!!" Sora screamed. "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE'RE HOME!!!!" Sora jumped around more. I never knew they live here!

As if he read my mind, Zexion asked my unspoken question. "I never knew you guys lived here."

Sora loved hugging people so he slung one arm around my neck and the other arm around Zexion and hugged us. "We kept it a secret!!!"

"Sora, stop suffocating our classmates." Roxas said as he pried Sora's arms off our necks. "Yeah. We live here. We actually own the Inn that we're staying at."

"WHAT?! NO WAY, ROXY!?!" Axel said, joining our little conversation.

Roxas was about to answer but he was interrupted my miss Aerith. "Everybody! So, let me tell you guys how we're gonna do it." Everybody gathered around. "Everyone knows where the inn is, correct?"

Everyone nodded.

"Good. Alright, you kids can do whatever you like! There is no curfue so you can hang out at the beach and do whatever you want to do!" We all screamed YES because it was like FREEDOM.

"There's only one rule." The whole class quieted down.

"NO ALCOHOL. Period. Am I understood?"

"YES MISS AERITH!!!!"

Miss Aerith smiled. "Good. I know I can trust you." She said to us before joining Miss Tifa, Sir Cloud and Sir Zack. Before they left though, she said, "See you guys at the inn!"

The gang decided that we would ditch our things at the inn, get some lunch somewhere then go to the beach.

I was waiting at the lobby just thinking 'wow this place is huge. its more of a hotel rather an inn!' Oh yeah...Roxas told me that only the 2nd year students came to Destiny Islands. The 4th years had their graduation, the 3rd years went to Twilight Town (my home town. sigh) and the 1st years go to Travers Town.

"Hey, Dem-dem!!!" Xigbar came joined my in the lobby carrying a...SURF BOARD?!?! NO WAI?!?! XIGBAR CAN SURF?!

I jumped of the couch I was sitting on to where Xigbar was. "Xiggy!!! You never told me that you could surf!!!"

Xigbar laughed. "Well...you never asked!!!" typical Xigbar.

---

After having lunch, we ran to the beach as fast as possible. Xigbar ran in to the water. "SURFS UP, DUDE!!!!!!!!!!" I was slightly concerned especially since his eye is still...well, yeah. Not he really looked like a pirate.

Axel, on the other hand, was just walking around the beach and i think he was holding something. I ran to hin=m and asked, "Axel, whats all this stuff for?" I poked at it. He found a lot of washed up wood. He smiled his usual smile and said, "For the bonfire, of course!!!"

I saw Roxas halping Sora with a sand castle. Namine eventually joined them along with kairi. Larxene was getting a tan and Zexion was...reading a book. Of course.

"Hey, Zex! Wanna go play in the water?" I asked then took a glance at what he was reading. Greek mythology. Fascinating...

Zexion shook his head. "I prefer to stay under the shade."

I shrugged. "If you say so." I'd ask him again later when its not too hot.

I looked at the ocean. It was beautiful! Hey!!! There's a floating platform thingee!!! Thats cool!!! (1) It was kinda far away...like...a few yards away...maybe 20 or more...Lets go anyway!!!

I was waist-deep into the water when Sora jumped in as well saying, "ROXAS, YOU JERK!!!"

Roxas was laughing so hard (with Namine and kairi) when I looked at them. I asked Sora what happened.

"ROXAS PUT SAND IN MY PANTS!!!!" Then, I laughed at Sora and he got a clump of wet sand and pelted it at Roxas. They had a sand ball fight after that. It was Kairi and Sora VS. Namine and Roxas. That was cute. NOw, on to the floating thingee.

I started swimming and eventually got there. I climbed the ladder and pushed myself up on to the platform. It was quieter here but you could still hear the others at shore. I saw Xigbar surfing a wave. that was awesome. I should ask him to teach me.

I just stayed at the platform going into the water from time to time to see the bottom of the ocean.

I swam back to shore an hour later and when I got there Axel shook the living daylights out of me. "DEMYX WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU?!"

I blinked. "huh?"

"Don't 'huh' me! WHERE WERE YOU?!"

"Axeeel!!!" I whined. "You're acting like my mom!!!"

"you scared me, man!!!" Axel let go of me. "Sora said he last saw you in the water! I thought you drowned and died!"

I laughed. "I can't drown!!! I'm the master os the sea!!!" I said triumphantly.

"Actually...Thats Triton." Zexion said joining us. "We were looking for you."

I felt my cheeks grow warm. "I was just there." I pointed at the platform. "Its nice there." I smiled at Axel.

"You swam all the way over there?!"

I nodded. "IM THE KING KING OF THE SEA!!!!"

Axel shook his head. "Ya, right!"

"Look! I'll prove it to you!!!"
