A short little story I did just for fun. Hope you like it!

Day at the Beach

"Wow..."
Aelita stared wide eyed at the wide expanse of dark blue in front of her, one hand keeping her white hat on her head from the sea breeze.
"I take it you impressed?" Odd smirked, poking her in the ribs.
Aelita nodded, speechless.
Jeremie took her hand in his and started walking down to the stairs towards the sand. Yumi and Ulrich were already setting up the beach blankets and umbrella while Elizabeth and Odd were putting all the bags together.
The gang had decided to take Aelita to the beach for the day.
Everyone already had their swimsuits on underneath their clothes and had brought with them a packed lunch (plus a second one since Odd was with them).
"At least the beach isn't too busy today" Odd said.
Besides them there was a couple with their two kids, one guy sunbathing and two girls jogging along the surf who Odd were following quite intently.
"Odd!" Elizabeth shouted, slapping him on the back of his head.
"What?" he asked innocently as the girls ran by.
Elizabeth glared at him while the rest of the gang laughed.

"It's so soft" Aelita said, picking up a handful of sand and letting it run through her fingers. "Yeah, but it can get into all the wrong places" Odd grinned.
"Can we go far into the water?" Aelita asked.
Jeremie laughed. "No, not too far. Come on, let me show you" he said, pulling her up. Laughing they ran towards the water. Jeremie ran in, splashing as he waded in.
Aelita hesitated. "Don't worry Aelita, it's ok" Jeremie said, coming back a little.
Aelita waded in slowly until she reached Jeremie. Together they swam out a little a bit, and soon they were splashing and laughing.
"Hey, what are we waiting here for?" Odd said, "Let's go!"
Together he, Ulrich, Yumi and Elizabeth ran down and dived in.
"Hey!" Elizabeth giggled when Odd splashed her a bit.
She grabbed a handful of seaweed drifting by and chucked it at him.
Laughing Odd lunged to the left. And cried out in pain.
"Odd? Odd, what's wrong?" Elizabeth asked concerned as Odd thrashed around.
"Ulrich quick, somethings wrong!" she shouted, swimming towards Odd.
Together they pulled him back to the beach and walked him to their spot.
Elizabeth gasped as large red lines started to appear on his legs and chest.
"Jellyfish!"
Ulrich grabbed a bottle of vinegar from a pocket in his bag and poured it over Odd's welts. Odd groaned as the cold liquid touched the burning lines.
"There, that'll help. How do you feel Odd?" Ulrich asked.
"Better thanks. Still hurts though" Odd said, looking slightly pale.
"Oh poor Odd" Elizabeth said, kneeling next to him. "I think you should stay here and try to get some rest. I go and get you some ice cream from one of the shops on the boardwalk, Ok?"
"Ok" Odd said in a weak voice, winking to Ulrich.
Soon she came back with his treat, and shortly after that he fell asleep.
"Man, that was just what I needed" he said, stretching out.
He started to sit up when a pain in both his feet made him stop.
"Oh no" he groaned, looking down and seeing both his feet burned bright red from the sun, the shadow from the umbrella stopping just above the ankles.
Jeremie and Yumi walked up, stopped and started laughing.
"Ha ha, very funny" Odd said.
"Sorry Odd. Here" Yumi said, crouching down by her bag and pulling out a small tube of cream, "This should help"
"Thanks" Odd said, rubbing on the sunburn ointment.
With nothing else to do he soon fell asleep again, dreaming about a mountain being put down on him, the weight growing and growing and growing...
"Ahh!" he woke up.
"Ahh!" he shouted, looking down.
Someone had buried him from the neck down in sand.
Someone giggled. He looked to the left and saw the two little kids with spades running away. "Why you little-!" he growled.
It's was a while before the gang came back from the sea, and a while more before they could stop laughing to dig him out.
"Don't worry Odd, it's time to go home" Jeremie said.
"About time" Odd said, gingerly walking up the stairs while being supported by Ulrich and Jeremie.
They walked up to the bus stop and boarded the bus.
"Ah, home sweet home" Odd sighed as the city came into sight.
The bus stopped and they made their way down to the exit.
"Odd, look out!" Elizabeth said, seeing Odd's pants getting caught on a sharp bit on the stairs.
"Aargh!" Odd cried out as he lost his balance.

"What happened to you?" Sissi asked during Science class.
"You don't wanna know" Odd groaned, a large plaster stuck over his nose.
