Naminé huffed and Roxas chuckled. Roxas turned Naminé so that she was again facing away from him, and waded into the shallows. The water was, to say the least, freezing. At the same time, it was refreshing. The waves were crashing in, their white crests hitting Roxas's legs and knocking him off balance.
Finally, Roxas relented and was forced to put Naminé down. He bent over and rolled up his pants. Naminé shivered at the cold water rolling over her feet and began to trudge away. Roxas looked up and tugged on the hem of her dress. "Hey, where are you going?"
"I'm getting out! You must be crazy, going into the water at this time of year. It's freezing, Roxas!" Naminé gestured to the sand.
"Don't just leave me here!" Roxas pouted, and began to chase her down. Naminé giggled and began to run, a laborious effort as they were still in the water. Every step sent a hundreds of cold droplets flying into the air.
Finally, Naminé could feel the white, dry sand sticking to her wet feet and collapsed, dirtying her clothes. She could feel a thump next to her as Roxas went down with a "Phew!" For a second, Roxas closed his eyes and just breathed as his chest heaved from exertion. Running in the water, he learned, was hard work.
After a while, Roxas grinned and his eyes flashed open dangerously. "Do you want to go for a swim?" Roxas turned his head to look at Naminé and propped himself up on his elbows.
"Did you not hear a word I just said? It's FREEZING!" Naminé mock-growled, burrowing her feet further into the warm sand. Abruptly, Naminé conjured up another reason not to swim. A very important reason.
"Roxas," she squeaked, mortified. "I'm wearing white!"
"So?"

Heck, Namine, I'd run faster if I were you. Oookay, this has taken long enough to put up. Yikes aplenty!
