K- Kiss The Girl
Summary: On an evening at the beach with their friends, Shenzi and Chuckie want to finally have their first kiss. Will they finally make the move?
16-year-old Angelica Pickles drove her new, red convertible down the road on a nice, sunny day in the beginning of summer, followed by 16-year-old Susie Carmichael, who drove a purple convertible. Where are they going? To the beach nearby, to celebrate the start of their summer vacation! They were driving with their younger friends, 14-year-old Tommy Pickles, 13-year-old Dil Pickles, who were Angelica's cousins, 14-year-old twins Phil and Lil DeVille, 14-year-old Kimi Finster, her older stepbrother, 15-year-old Chuckie Finster, his girlfriend of almost a year, 14-year-old Shenzi Tuck, and her older stepsister, 15-year-old Frankie Tuck.
Tommy, Dil, and the twins were in Angelica's vehicle, while Chuckie, Shenzi, Frankie, and Kimi were in Susie's. Shenzi was snuggled on Chuckie's shoulder, with Frankie sitting at the other end, while Kimi was up front with her best friend. Phil seemed eager to sit shotgun in Angelica's car, so he was allowed access, while Tommy, Lil, and Dil sat in the back. Angelica's car had leopard-print seat covers, while Susie's had rainbow zebra.
For the beach, Shenzi was wearing black Kiss of Death lounge shorts over her swim bottoms, black Converse low-tops, a red extension in her long bangs, a silver initial necklace with an "S" and black music note pendants, black rose earrings, and a black babydoll camisole that tied in front at the bust, so a bit of her swim top and slender stomach were revealed. Her black and white striped beach bag contained her black moon phases swim towel, her black leather jacket-like purse, sunscreen, and other necessities for the day. Her black, cat-eye prescription glasses framed her large, green and blue eyes, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings as she smiled up at her one and only.
There was a cooler in the back of Susie's car, in front of where Frankie sat, so she rested her legs on it, and a second one was in the back of Angelica's car with Dil's legs resting on it. The coolers contained drinks (non-alcohol!), and chilled snacks for all of them.
Before long, Susie made an exciting announcement. "We're here!" The gang cheered as she and Angelica parked next to each other a ways away from the sand, in the parking lot. The teens hopped out of the cars, and headed for the beach after everyone was out and blocked up. Shenzi and Chuckie held hands as they walked with their friends. He was amused when she started swinging their joined arms back and forth, with excitement in her large, sparkling eyes. Or eye, since the left was covered by her long bangs.
That was one thing he loved about her; She was enthusiastic about anything and everything, especially if he's there with her. Truthfully, he didn't understand just what she saw in him; He was a geek, no, a gork! She could do better than him.
But in her eyes, he was the cutest, sweetest, and most handsome boy in the whole world. She wished that he could just see that, and stop putting himself down like he did. It was him who could do better; She was a gork! He deserved a girl much prettier than her, like Nicole Boscarelli, or anyone other than herself basically. "Shenzi, watch your step," Chuckie's voice snapped her back into reality, but before she could react, her feet hit the wooden board that separated the pavement and the sand.
"Oof!" She stopped walking, and checked her feet one at a time.
"You okay?" He asked her.
"Yeah, I'm fine," She replied, "I guess I just wasn't paying attention."
"Clearly," He chuckled as they walked on the sand closely behind their friends. She playfully shoved him a bit, making him laugh some more, but not far enough so their hands would pull apart.
"Okay, where should we set up camp?" Lil asked everyone.
"Hmm..." Kimi looked around the semi-crowded beach, and found a reasonably-sized empty area. "There's a vacant space over there; Lot of room, and close to the water, yet not too close. What do you say?"
Susie shrugged after a bit of consideration. "Looks good to me. What do you guys think?" After everyone agreed on it, they headed for that spot, renting a canopy awning along the way. Once it was set up, the gang spread out their towels, and finally relaxed. Shenzi and Chuckie's towels were right next to each other, even overlapping ever so slightly. Since it was around lunch time, the teens passed the takeout bags and cups holders from Arby's around, until everyone had their respective meals, and ate up as they watched their surroundings. Chuckie was amused as Shenzi seemed to be in heaven from the cheese sauce in her turkey sandwich, while occasionally taking sips of her Pepsi. She also had a pack of 4 potato cakes, which she shared with her boyfriend.
After everyone's food was digested, and after taking off their casual clothes, they started having their fun; Phil and Lil were splashing each other in the cold, salty water as Dil was making a UFO sculpture in the sand. The rest of the girls, minus a certain one, and Tommy were playing with an inflated beach ball on the warm sand. Meanwhile, Shenzi and Chuckie were just enjoying each others' company under the shade, sitting on their towels. Although she still took off her top and shorts, revealing a black halter tankini top that revealed just enough to let her belly button show, with red straps and polka dots, and red bottoms with matching black ruffles.
Chuckie's cheeks blushed as he stared at his girlfriend. She may not have been wearing a bikini like Angelica, Susie, Kimi, and Frankie were (Lil was wearing a concealing tankini), but she still looked very attractive. It showed enough of her hourglass figure without revealing too much; It was perfect for you. "Chuckie?" Her voice snapped him out of his love spell. "My eyes are here," She giggled, pointing to her glasses.
"S-sorry," He stammered, his cheeks still warm.
"It's okay," She assured him, "Um, y-you look really nice too."
"Thanks," His blush deepened, "But how'd you know I was thinking that about you?"
"I can tell from the look on your face... and where you were looking," She added with a giggle.
"O-oh." Even as a teenager, he was still as awkward as he was in his pre-teen years. To Shenzi, it was adorable.
When he looked back at her, their faces were suddenly an inch apart. Their cheeks were as red as his hair as they gazed at one another. Kimi's sudden singing voice startled them into almost smacking their foreheads together. "Sha lalalalala, my, oh my! Looks like the boy's too shy! He ain't gonna kiss the girl!" She laughed as Chuckie and Shenzi had sly smiles and raised eyebrows, directly at her. "S-sorry, I couldn't resist." She then left them alone, and ran back to the water.
"Well, moment ruined," Chuckie remarked.
"It's okay," She laid a hand on his shoulder, "You know how Kimi is."
"True," He shrugged. They then stayed quiet as they watched their friends have fun, and play in the sand or the water.
"Well um, no use sitting around all day," Shenzi remarked after a few seconds, "Why don't we have some fun?"
"Sure," He agreed; They stood up with their shoes taken off, and headed for the ocean waves, hand-in-hand. In the cold, salty water, the two engaged in a tickle fight, and occasionally tacked each other when a wave washed up, so they were quickly soaked. They had a couple moments where their lips almost connected, but they were interrupted by ocean waves, or an accidental beach ball to the heads.
But at one moment, when their friends were lounging on their respective towels, Shenzi and Chuckie were alone, and... it happened. While they were sitting in the sand, where the waves could reach them, they slowly leaned in. And there were no interruptions. Their lips finally touched in a short, but sweet kiss. They tasted the salt water on each others' lips, but paid no mind to it, because the fireworks going on in their chests distracted them. Their friends saw the romantic scene, and almost cheered, but kept quiet, as to not disturb the couple. The girls had super wide smiles, so wide that the boys thought their faces were going to split in two.
After a few seconds, Shenzi and Chuckie pulled apart, and just gazed at each other as they sat in the wet sand. They were startled by a sudden wave of cold water, but laughed it off as they stood up to let the sea wash the sand off, then joined their friends. "That was the most romantic kiss I've ever seen!" Frankie gushed. "Your first kiss, both of you!"
"You're each others' firsts!" Kimi added.
"Y-yeah," Shenzi shrugged timidly.
"I... this will sound cheesy, but I wanted my first kiss to be with someone special," Chuckie confessed, "And... I did."
His girlfriend's blush deepened. "And s-same for me with you." She laid on his shoulder, and he held her closer as the group relished the cool shade of the awning.
After a while, they cleaned up at the showers, put their casual clothes back on, gathered their souvenirs, boarded the convertibles, and headed home. Shenzi and Chuckie snuggled with each other the whole way, feeling drowsy from the exciting day. When he was dropped off at his house, along with Kimi, he shared another kiss with Shenzi, before bidding her goodbye and following his stepsister into the house.
The gang fell asleep in their respective beds, their minds flooded with memories of their fun day. But Shenzi and Chuckie had the greatest memories out of them all, no doubt about it.
(A/N: Yeah, K was a bit cheesy, but I kind of like how it turned out. You know the disclaimer.)
