"So, this is the life, huh?" said Phil, stretching out in the sand.

"Yeah, you really didn't do too bad, Tommy," offered Chuck. "It's nice out here."

"Yeah, good job, Bro." Dil agreed.

"Thanks, guys."

The four boys were stretched out on the sand, right on the edge of the beach. They were at the perfect spot, halfway between the cottage and the shore.

"So, what do you guys want to do today?" asked Chuck.

Dil yawned and turned over on his towel. "How about we nap in the sun all day?"

"Sounds good to me." said Phil.

Tommy pointed to the boardwalk in the distance. "There's a boardwalk down there, with some stuff to do. I heard there's a pretty cool arcade there. We should check it out."

"Yeah," said Chuck, "That'd be awesome. Especially if they have Yu-Gotta-Go…"

Tommy sighed. "After all these years, Princess Miyoko still has my heart….but don't tell Lil."

Phil grinned but didn't open his eyes. "I think she'd understand. It's Princess Miyoko."

"I wonder what the girls are up to…" Chuck looked over to their counterparts, who were sunbathing on beach chairs a little closer to the bungalow.

Tommy sat up and watched Lil laugh at something Susie was saying and he was in awe, just like the first day that he realized that she was much more than your typical girl next door.

He leaned on his elbows. "So…do you guys ever think that maybe our girlfriends are, you know, way too hot for us?"

"Oh, yeah." said Phil.

"Definitely," agreed Dil, without hesitation.

"All the time." finished Chuck.

Tommy laughed at his friends' unabashed honesty. "Ok, good…I'm glad I'm not the only one…"

"Yeah," said Chuck, "I'm the luckiest guy in the whole world…Angie's a goddess…"

"Chuck!"

He stared off at the ocean with a goofy grin on his face.

"Chuckiiiiiieeee!" Angelica called shrilly.

"I think that's your goddess calling you."

"And I think my ears are bleeding," said Dil, giving Angelica a dirty look.

Chuck stood over Angelica, arms crossed. "Yes, dear?" he said, a little irately.

She took a drag off her cigarette and exhaled before handing him her empty glass. "Could you run inside and bring me another daiquiri?"

"Angelica…did you really call me over here for this?"

She pouted. "Please…For me, Baby?"

He took the glass and sighed. "Ok. Be right back."

He trekked into the house. Lil raised her eyebrows.

"What?" said Angelica defensively as she snubbed her cigarette out. "I didn't want to get up. I'm exhausted. I couldn't sleep a wink last night. The beds here are terrible. They're old and too springy. And I'll never settle for less than 1000-thread count Egyptian Cotton again."

Susie gave her a knowing look. "It's not like you did a whole lot of sleeping anyway…"

Angelica lifted her Ray Bans and eyed her best friend. "What are you talking about?"

"Oh you know," said Lil, grinning maliciously. She switched into a mimicking voice, "Oh, yes, that's it…"

Angelica's eyes widened and her face deepened into a rosy red. "I don't sound like that!"

"What was the other thing she kept saying?" asked Susie. "Oh yeah…'Please…Please!'"

Kimi stuck her headphones in her ears. "Oh, God, I'm not hearing this…"

"I think they call that begging...." said Lil.

"It must be really good…" said Susie.

"A lady doesn't talk about such things." said Angelica, settling back into her chair.

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Ha ha. Very funny…"

"But seriously," continued Susie, "It's never stopped you before."

"Well…it's different with Chuck…I know it's cliched, but we have something special…"

Lil and Susie let out simultaneous 'Awws'.

Kimi noticed that they all went back to reading and she figured it was safe to remove her headphones.

"But," said Susie, throwing down her paperback and leaning on one elbow, "It must be really good, right?"

"Wait, what must be really good?" asked Kimi.

"The sex." replied Lil. "You know, with your brother."

Kimi scrunched up her face in distaste and put her headphones back in.

"Oh, it's sooo good."

Kimi apparently heard Angelica's response, as she turned up the volume to her ipod so high that the other girls could hear blaring vocals.

Susie and Lil donned wicked grins. Kimi hummed loudly and resolutely. Chuck showed up with the daiquiri. "Here you go, Babydoll."

Angelica took it with a smile. "Thanks."

Chuck raised his eyebrows as he noticed Susie and Lil staring at him with twin grins.

"What is it?" he asked nervously.

"Nothing..." said Susie. "We just have a whole new appreciation for you, that's all."

He scratched his wild head of hair. "Um, ok. So…Tommy wants to check out the boardwalk…"
