P- Perfect

Summary: The gang, now in high school on the verge of graduating, take a weekend trip to Huntington Beach. While they're there, Chuckie is hoping to win the heart of his 4-year-long crush, new girl Shenzi Tuck. Will he succeed? Or will pretty boys at the beach sweep her off her feet first?

"I'm so excited!" Lil DeVille exclaimed. "I love the beach!"

"Me too!" Kimi agreed.

"Me 3," Frankie Tuck agreed.

These 3 girls and their friends were heading to Huntington Beach to celebrate their upcoming graduation. Along with them was Tommy Pickles, who was driving them in a Volkswagen Bus, his younger brother Dil Pickles, Lil's twin brother Phil DeVille, Kimi's older stepbrother Chuckie Finster, and Frankie's younger stepsister, who was also Chuckie's crush, Shenzi Tuck.

The two stepsisters started attending Jim Jr. High School at around the beginning of the Finsters' first year, and the younger girl claimed Chuckie's heart ever since then, with her flowing black hair, her flawless, purplish-grey complexion, large sparkling eyes, and wonderful personality. It seemed like she was always optimistic and upbeat, despite the intimidating vibe her Gothic style gave her.

All the teens were dressed appropriately for the beach, with the boys in swim trunks, sandals, and t-shirts. The girls' outfits were more distinctive; Lil had white button shorts, a pink tank top, black jelly sandals, yellow "OMG" speech bubble earrings, and a yellow hair extension at the right side of her face. Frankie was in an Alice in Wonderland falling scene dress, black themed slip-on shoes, black bow earrings with blue circular charms, a simple ponytail band, and an Alice themed hair bow. Kimi wore a white Wild Child t-shirt with pastel rainbow letters in a graffiti style, bright rainbow tie dye board shorts, black flip-flops with rainbow straps, rainbow stud earrings, two ponytail bands, one in blue and one in red, holding her hair in two partial ponytails, and rainbow spike barbells in the extra piercings in her right ear. Shenzi was wearing black low-riding boyfriend shorts, a white cropped skull t-shirt, showing off her flat stomach for all to see, sneakers with black laces and a Sally Ragdoll dress print, a matching cosplay hair bow, themed heart earrings, a matching bracelet with a pink cord, a black stitches choker, a red hair extension in her long bangs, draping over the left side of her face, including her black cat-eye prescription glasses, and black and red ombre extensions around her head, peeking out from her natural hair.

Chuckie wasn't sure if Shenzi knew just what she was doing to him, but he just couldn't avert his eyes from her long legs, and slender stomach. If she caught him staring, she wouldn't mind it; She would even be flattered. She was truly amazing.

"We're here!" Tommy announced, startling Chuckie out of his thoughts.

"Yay!" Shenzi cheered like a little kid whose parents took her to Disneyland.

The teens filed out, Kimi carrying the large beach bag, and started searching for a good spot to set up. "There's a good place over there," Frankie pointed out, "It's not too far away from the ocean, yet it's as close to the shops as we can get." The boys mentally questioned why the last part was important, but kept quiet and agreed on the spot along with the girls, who seemed eager to get some shopping done. After arriving at the spot picked out, the gang laid out their towels; Chuckie was very surprised when Shenzi laid hers next to his, and sat at the edge closest to him. "Hi," She smiled at him, unknowingly melting his heart.

"H-hi," He stammered timidly.

"Have you ever been to Huntington Beach before? Y'know, other than now?"

"Um," He thought about it for a second, "I, I don't think so. Not that I can remember."

"Oh okay," She nodded, "This is my first time here too."

"Th-that's cool," He nodded.

"You okay?" She asked him. "You seem nervous."

"Yeah, I-I'm fine," He assured her, although he didn't sound like he was fine.

"Maybe the water will help you!" She stood up, whipped off her shirt, and stepped out of her shorts and shoes, revealing her Sally Ragdoll bikini with flounce top and hipster bottoms. As he blushed, she grabbed his hand, stood him up on his feet, and practically dragged him to the ocean with excitement.

The rest of the girls then decided to follow her lead; They took off their day clothes, fully revealing their swimsuits. Frankie's bikini had an Alice theme with skirted bottoms and ruffle-strapped top. Lil had a black one-piece swimsuit with white lace trimmed, and multicolored flowers. Kimi had a cropped tankini with a top similar to Shenzi's and hipster bottoms, both with rainbow stripes. When the boys were ready, they all followed the two friends to the water, where they were already playing. Shenzi playfully tackled Chuckie on the sand just when a wave washed up, so he was soaked. In a moment of mischief, he laid still, trying his best to keep a straight face. When the perfect moment came, he suddenly shot up and tackled Shenzi in the cold, salty water. There were a few instances where their lips were only inches apart, but they just broke away from the awkwardness and continued playing.

After a while, the girls headed off to go shopping, "accidentally" leaving their day clothes with the boys, who decided to stay behind. Chuckie wanted to get something off his chest, but was afraid of getting teased. Of course Tommy wouldn't, but Phil? It was pretty much a guarantee that he would give him a hard time. "Um, T-Tommy?" He finally stammered.

"What's up?" He asked him.

"D-do you think I'm... perfect?"

Tommy hesitated a bit from that question. It wasn't like Chuckie to ask something like that. But then again, he did have a certain lack of self confidence, so in a way, it made sense. "Well, n-nobody's perfect, Chuck."

"I mean perfect for... a partner."

"You finally comin' out of the closet?" Phil teased him. See?

"Phil!" Chuckie glared at him. "I'm not gay! I'm talking about a girl!"

"Phil, stop teasing him," Tommy told the brunette boy, before turning back to the redhead, "What girl are you talking about? Is she someone we know?"

"If it's Lil, I'm going to kick your butt into next week." Chuckie's glare made Phil shut up.

"It's... Shenzi," He confessed.

"You like Shenzi?" Tommy confirmed.

"Uh, uh-huh," Chuckie nodded, "I have ever since she and Frankie started attending our high school."

"So, you've had a thing for her since 4 years ago," Dil recapped, "And yet, you haven't told her?"

"Nope," Chuckie shook his head.

"Why not?" Dil asked him.

"Well, I... I'm afraid that she won't like me back, and it would ruin our friendship."

"Ohh," Tommy nodded as he understood.

"Plus Frankie is a tough girl; She might tie me into a knot for eyeballing her baby sister in that way."

The Pickles brothers couldn't help but laugh with him, although Chuckie's efforts were half hearted. "Well, it can't be that hard," Dil said, "I know nothing about that mushy romance junk, but I've seen her making googoo eyes at you when you're not looking at her."

"Me too," Tommy added.

"Really?" Chuckie's eyes widened in surprise. "This isn't a joke?"

"It's no joke," Tommy confirmed with a head shake.

"Well um, wh-what should I do?"

"How about you tell her that you like her, with a present for her?" Dil suggested. "That ought to ease her into it."

"That's a good idea," Chuckie nodded as he stood on the sand and pulled his shirt on, "Thanks, Dil. I'll see what the souvenir shops have."

"What if there's nothing?" Phil wondered aloud.

"Come on Phil," Tommy raised an eyebrow at him, "There's gotta be something there. The girl's a maniac for a beach theme."

"I'll be right back, guys." After grabbing his wallet and stashing it in his trunks pocket, Chuckie headed for the shops, praying that Shenzi or any of the girls wouldn't see him. He entered one shop that specialized in souvenirs exclusively for the beach, and looked at the selection. There was shirts, swimsuits, bags, jewelry, the mix. What could he get for her? It had to be perfect, just like she was. He looked the hardest at any items with dark colors, considering the way she dressed, and debated hard. This was harder than he thought; Why was this girl so hard to shop for? She loves everything!

When he passed by a certain section, he stopped dead in his tracks and had a closer look. It was a purple beach themed locket necklace with an adequately-sized frame for a picture. It wasn't black, but it was perfect nonetheless. After carefully taking one off the rack, he paid for it and walked out of the store. When he got a glimpse of Frankie, he quickly ran in the opposite direction, praying that she didn't see him. He panted heavily as he practically fell on his towel in exhaustion.

"You find something?" Tommy asked him.

Unable to respond from his panting and heaving of exhaustion, Chuckie merely held up the necklace for them to see. "That's great!" Dil praised him. "That just screams "Shenzi"! She'll be all over you!"

"I... I... h-hope so," He panted, "Oh man." He flopped on his back, and took a few puffs after Tommy gave him his asthma inhaler. "That was a long run."

"Why were you running in the first place?" Phil asked him.

"I... I saw Fra-Frankie, and I p-panicked." He stared at the fabric of the awning they rented as he tried to catch his breath.

"Ohh," Tommy nodded in understanding. The boys turned upon hearing laughter, and saw obnoxious-looking "pretty" boys from their school a distance away. "Oh great."

Chuckie couldn't help but stare in jealousy. He never considered himself attractive, and seeing guys like those only made it worse. He was a geek, while they seemed to be members of the school's football team. Or wrestling. Either way, they looked like they could kill him just by looking at him. Little did he realize, as he had these jealous feelings, he forgot about the necklace.

He nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard the girls' voices. "Hey, boys!" Frankie greeted them. "Anything new?"

"Nah," Tomy shook his head, "Not much. Just those idiot jocks from our school came while you were gone."

"Oh boy," Kimi groaned, "Not them."

"Forget about them," Shenzi brushed the problem off, "After we're all rested, let's play some volleyball! Lil said she and Phil brought a ball!"

"Sounds great," Tommy agreed.

After a few minutes, the girls were all rested up, as was Chuckie, so they walked out on the sand to begin. When they were discussing teams, Shenzi and Chuckie eagerly picked each other, surprising them both. Once the teams were fully arranged, they drew a line in the sand to separate them, and started the game, with Shenzi and Chuckie's team serving. When several minutes passed, they decided to take a break and rest for another round. "Hey, sexy!" They turned, and saw the jocks walking up. "You," One looked at Shenzi, surprising her, "You want to ditch these losers, and join us?"

"No thanks," She shook her head, "I'm fine here."

"Hey." The probable leader knelt down to her level, with a serious look on his face. "I don't take no for an answer."

"I like someone else," She blurted out.

"Oh, really? Who?"

She looked at who the jocks least expected. "Chuckie." He was more surprised than all of them put together. "I like Chuckie." She crawled up to him, and laid on his chest.

"Fine," One jock shrugged, "There are sexier girls here anyway." With that, they walked away.

"W-wow," Chuckie stammered, "Pretty convincing."

She raised an eyebrow at him. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, you lying about liking me, so that the jocks would back off," He clarified.

"What? I wasn't lying. Why would I lie about that?"

"Because no one would ever like me that way," He shrugged.

"That's not true!" She insisted. "Just because you're not a jock, doesn't mean you're not attractive. I was being completely, 100% honest; I like you, in that way."

He didn't know what to say, other than one word: "Really?"

"Uh huh," She nodded, before noticing something, "What's that in your pocket?"

He glanced down, and his eyes widened. Her present! He forgot to give it to her! "Um, I-I, it's for you." He took it out, and gently set it in her hand.

"For me?" She looked surprised. "Oh, it's beautiful! I love it!" She hugged him tightly. "Thanks, Chuckie! But... what's the occasion?"

"No occasion," He shrugged, "I just need to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"Well Shen," He hesitated. Why? He didn't know. She said that she likes him! Why was it so hard for him to say it? "I... I like you, in that way."

A shy blush grew on her cheeks. "Y-you do?"

"Yeah," He nodded, and helped put the necklace on her, "Ever since you and Frankie started attending our school."

"It's been that long? How come you never told me?"

"I... I was afraid of ruining our friendship."

"Oh. Well, I had the same fear, so I never told you. My crush on you blossomed when you helped me find the room for our first class. You're just so helpful, generous, funny..." When Chuckie laid a gentle hand on her shoulder, she stopped rambling. "S-sorry. My point is, I've liked you for as long as you've liked me."

"O-okay," He stammered, "So um... do you want to... get some lunch sometime? We can have hamburgers at the mall or something, whatever you want. My treat."

A shy smile grew on her face. "That sounds perfect... just like you are." She kissed his cheek, making a deep blush grow.

"Um, th-thanks Shen, but I'm not perfect. You are, not me."

"Say what? I'm not perfect. I'm just a geeky weirdo." Her head hung low.

Her blush deepened and her gaze averted when a gentle hand tucked her under her chin, and made her look up. "You're perfect to me," Chuckie almost whispered to her. He wanted to kiss her, but without the others possibly making it awkward. Although it seemed like they read his mind.

"Don't mind us," Lil assured them.

"You do what you want," Tommy added as they walked away to their towels.

When they were alone, the two spectacled teens silently gazed into each other's eyes as the waves repeatedly washed up. With his eyes shut, his lips puckered, and his hand still at her chin, Chuckie leaned in and gently connected his lips with hers. She was surprised at first, but her eyes blinked shut and her lips puckered against his. Her hands laid on his shoulders, as his one hand moved from her chin to her blushing cheek. They stayed in place for several seconds as the breeze blew their hair and swimsuits slightly. But the need for air took over; They separated after what seemed like an eternity, and gazed at each other once again. "Ch-Chuckie?"

"Yes?"

"You know how you said that you're not perfect?"

"Yeah."

She smiled lovingly at him, as she brushed some long red hair from his eyes. "You're perfect to me."
