Reef yawned as sunshine hit his closed eyelids. It was really only a half hour since he had collapsed on his bed, but he felt rejuvenated nonetheless. Rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, Reef clambered into the washroom and proceeded to spend another half hour in there, doing what he called "preparing his face for the world". After spending an extra 15 minutes on his hair, Reef winked at his reflection, and proceeded downstairs where he hoped his mother had prepared something better than what Emma and Lo managed to sneak from the PR everyday at breakfast back at Surfer's Paradise.
Thankfully, he could smell bacon and eggs and who knows what else and collapsed on to one of the dining room chairs.
"My stomach is ready!" Reef declared as he took in his sunlit kitchen. His mother stood in front of the stove, flipping pancakes and other delicacies. Fin was seated on the kitchen counter, a piece of toast in her hand, laughing at something Mrs. Garcia was saying.
"So the princess awakens." Fin drawled as she took in Reef's pristine appearance. "You've said that to me before, Fin." Reef shot back, as he patted his hair defensively. "And anyways, it takes time for someone to look this good."
"Yea, because you look so good Reef." Fin retorted smirking, as she shot Reef a sarcastic wink. Reef pouted, but his face soon lit up as Mrs. Garcia placed a plate full of everything imaginable in front of him.
"Here you go sweet pea, eat up!' Mrs. Garcia gushed, as she took in Reef's ecstatic expression.
"Mom! Is this a reward for getting arrested last night, cause you know I can always-" Reef started to say airily, his mouth practically drooling as he took in his plate filled to the brim with bacon, toast, eggs, sausages, pancakes and other bits and bops.
"In your dreams Reef. Mrs. Garcia prepared this as a going away feast for me. Even though I told her not to do this much." Fin cut in between, smiling sincerely at Mrs. Garcia.
"Oh think nothing of it darling! You're practically a part of the family now!" Mrs. Garcia said happily as she piled Reef's plate with another helping of pancakes. Reef devoured it in a few seconds, but looked up in surprise a few moments later, a piece of bacon dangling from his mouth.
"What do you mean, going away feast?" Reef asked stupidly, and groaned and flailed as Mrs. Garcia swooped in to wipe the bacon from his mouth.
"Going away feast as in I'm leaving today, kook. I'm going away, hence the term." Fin said, rolling her eyes slightly at Reef's obvious confusion.
"You're leaving today Fin?' Reef asked in surprise, as Fin's eyebrows shot up at his genuine confusion.
"Uh yea Reef, you know I'm not staying here forever right?' Fin said slowly.
"What-yea, o-of course. Of course I know! I finally get my mancave back to myself!" Reef said hesitantly, before giving a false laugh to cover up the awkwardness.
"Uh, you know that your mom lives here too right? So technically, it wouldn't be a man-" Fin started to say logically, before Reef gave a small squeal that sounded something along the lines of "Whatever!' and buried himself in his food again.
Fin shrugged and jumped off of the counter. "Well, my flight is at 3, so I'll just go pack up all my things." With that said, Fin disappeared upstairs, leaving Reef to bury his head in his oatmeal. Well not literally, cause you know, hair.
"Whats wrong honey?" Mrs. Garcia asked warily as she took in her son's slightly less than cheerful demeanor.
"Vampires." Reef muttered as he stalked up to his room. Mrs. Garcia shrugged. Her son had always been a weird one.

Reef collapsed on his bed, impossibly more tired than before. With a deep breath he grabbed his laptop to try to distract himself from the world.
"Whats love got to do, got to do with it? Whats looo-" Reef started singing obnoxiously as he waited for his laptop to start-up. Suddenly, he was interrupted by a light chuckle from his doorway.
"TAKE THE MONEY, JUST DON'T TOUCH THE HAIR!" Reef screamed, covering his face and pushing his laptop towards the invisible intruder.
"It's just me Reef. And please, do go on. I like that song." The intruder said cheerily, and as Reef peeked open one eye, he was met with a smirking Fin McCloud leaning against his door frame.
Reef rolled his eyes and gestured for Fin to enter.
"So this is the famous man cave." Fin said, as she looked curiously around Reef's room. "You know, I expected it to be a bit more messy. You're full of surprises Reef."
She soon plopped down on the bed beside Reef, and prodded him on the shoulder. "What Fin? Are you feeling extra annoying today or something?" Reef whined as he swatted Fin's hand away.
"Awww is wittle Leslie grumpy today?' Fin asked mockingly as she bent to pinch Reef's cheeks playfully. Reef growled, but his face soon brightened as his computer glowed.
Score! Emma and Broseph are on chat!" Reef cried in exuberance as he pressed frantically on his keyboard. Fin watched the surfer in amusement. "I didn't realize you missed them this much Reef. Its only been like 3 days."
In response, Reef stuck his tongue out, which Fin responded to by doing the same.
"Heeey! It's the Reef man!" A loud island accented voice suddenly said.
"Broseph!" Reef and Fin cried as their bushy haired friend appeared on the computer screen. "The bettys there too! Whats going on?' Broseph asked in confusion.
"Well-" Fin started to respond, only to be cut off by another voice.
"Broseph, where are yo- OMIGOSH Reef? Fin? What are you doing?" A loud girly voice shrieked, and the two surfers watched in amusement as Broseph was pushed to the side and Lo's excited face replaced his.
"Lo! Hey long stor-" Reef started to say, only to be interrupted.
"Lo! Broseph! Reef! Fin! What? Reef and Fin? Guys whats going on I-" A new voice started to say.
"Emma, hey-" Fin started to say, but was interrupted as Lo started shrieking.
"OMIGOSH Emma! You won't even believe who Ty started seeing, it inhum-" Lo started to say but this time she was cut off as Reef and Fin screamed from their side.
"WILL YOU GUYS ALL SHUT UP?"
"Touchy, touchy." Lo muttered, but subsided as Fin gave her a deathly glare. "So someone care to explain whats going on?" Emma asked meekly, and Reef began to heave a deep breath to start the story. Too bad Fin elbowed him in the chest before he could say a word.
"So, the kook here will probably tell the story all wrong so I'll say it. So, we got to Muskoka and let me tell you, this guys horrible on flights I mean-" Fin started to complain, only to be cut off as Reef moved the computer towards him.
"- So Fin had to stay in Muskoka for 2 days, and being the generous guy that I am, I let her stay with me-"
"- generous? Oh please. So anyways I'm at the kooks place right now and then he introduced me to his absolute weirdo of a friend-
"- Who, I quote, Fin said she actually liked!"
"Well that was before he tried to make us share a drink!
"At least I didn't get us kicked into jail!"
'"It was you who got us kicked into jail!"
"Nuh uh."
"Uh huh."
"Guys! Chiiiill." Broseph cried, his sound slightly muffled because apparently Lo was sitting on him.
"Fin. Please get out of the vicinity." Lo said calmly from her seat on Broseph.
"What? I-" Fin started to say, flabbergasted.
"Now. Or I might have to spill a little secret about-" Lo started to say slyly, but Fin was out of the room before she could say another word.
"What was that all about? Reef asked curiously. "SO let me get this straight. Fin is at your house?" Lo said briskly,
"Uh yea?"
"SO YOU GUYS HOOKED UP?' Emma's voice screamed from the computer.
"No we did not!" Fin's muffled voice stated from outside Reef's room. "Well actually.." Reef started to say slyly, but before he could utter another the word, the door banged open and Fin had smacked him on the head.
"Well nice to know some things never change." Emma said nostagically as Lo smirked and Broseph mutterde something about a sandwich.
"Where's Johnny?" Reef asked suddenly, rubbing his head from where Fin had hit him. "Oh, Johnny Front Desk Guy hasn't recovered from when Emma kissed him." Broseph said cheerily.
This caused Emma to flush, and the rest of the surfers to burst out in raucous laughter. The rest of the morning was spent chatting to one other about Ty's new catch, how Reef's dad was a cop and all sorts of other stupid things only friends could talk about.
"So let me get this straight? You guys went stargazing in the middle of a Great Lake and then got put in jail by Reef's dad?" Lo asked in between giggles.
"Pretty much, yea." Fin said, as Reef shrugged beside her. Everyone burst into laughter again, as Fin checked her watch.
"It's already 1: 45?! My flights at 3! Talk to you guys later!" Fin cried as she got up and ran from Reef's room.
"Bye Fin!
"Safe flight!"
"Stay chill!"
"Wait for me, Fin! You can't leave without me! This is my house!' Reef shouted as he waved goodbye to everyone. A faint "Shut up idiot." could be heard before the connection was lost.
"Well, I'm still wondering why those two aren't dating yet." Lo said absently as Broseph pulled a cracker from his hair.
"I know! They are so perfect for eachother." Emma said dreamily, before Lo started ranting about how obnoxious Ty's new girlfriend was, and Emma tried not o be too jealous. Broseph started munching on his cracker. Somethings never change.

"We're running late! Her flights in a half hour!' Reef shrieked from his seat in the back. unfortunately, Fin had called shotgun.
"I'm going as fast as I can sweet pea!" Mrs. Garcia cried distressfully, pressing harder on the gas pedal. She was already going 5 kilometres over the speed limit, so what the hay.
"Calm down Reef, we'll make it." Fin said laughing, as she turned to face a pouting Reef. He mumbled something about not blaming him when she was stuck in Muskoka for another day, but then shut up.
Soon, the threesome had made it to the airport, thankfully with no cops chasing them down. "Now, Fin, I'm so sorry dear but I have a few errands to run so I'll just say goodbye to you here! Leslie will be here though!" Mrs Garcia said, as she pulled Fin in for a hug.
"Thanks for everything, Mrs. Garcia! I really appreciate it." Fin said gratefully as she hugged her back.
"It was nothing dear! Now I expect you back to visit very soon, ok? Sweet pea, help Fin with her luggage and say your goodbyes, I'll be back in a half hour to pick you up!" With that said Mrs. Garcia waved a slightly teary goodbye and was gone.
Suddenly, Fin's surf board was out of her hand. Again. "Reef? What are you-"
"She said to help with luggage didn't she. See, I'm helping!" Reef said, lifting the surfboard above his head and trying and failing to show off his muscles.
"You're embarrassing." Fin said , as she rolled her suitcase towards the entrance of the airport. "Well, um my flights in 20 minutes...I better get in there..."
"Yea, uh, well I guess this is goodbye." Reef said hesitantly, as he scratched the back of his neck.
"Are we really gonna do the whole "cheesy airport goodbye" thing Reef?" Fin scoffed, trying to make all the awkwardness disappear.
"Nah. Well, See you next summer betty. Don't miss me too much." Reef said, trying to appear as jaunty as possible.
"I'll try. Um, well. Goodbye." Fin said, waving as she approached the airport doors. "See you next summer."
"Yea, bye."
"Don't get any kookier."
"Fin. This is supposed to be emotional."
"Yea well, what are you gonna do."
"Well then. Bye."
"You've said that already."
"I know."
Then with one final wave, she was gone, leaving Reef standing there staring after her.
