Try thinking of the song, "You are my sunshine" while reading this. I'll tell you why in the end.
[Time: 3 years later/ summer on a very hot day]
Huang POV: After the group had a long day at work, Axle suggested that we would all go to the beach. It was a hot day, so maybe Axle had a good idea for once. Yurei, who was taking care of Rex (Axle and Ria's child, 2 years old) and Bone (Rios and Yurei's child, 10 months old), decided it was a bad idea due to the heat eventually leading to rain. Silk, like the mischievous girl she is, said that Yurei is afraid of either swimming or wearing her swim suit in front of the kids. Yurei eventually gave in and went off to the city with the kids to purchase some swim wear for them. As usual, us guys have to carry the heavy supplies as Silk and Ria carries the picnic items. Luckily for us, the volleyball equipment is still in a wooden shed, outside of the sand.
(Me) "This is a lot of stuff... Why are chairs needed for a beach?"
(Ria) "Duh, to cool off of course."
(Axle) "You're a bit too old for a tan you know..." Ria smacked Axle on the behind.
(Silk) "The umbrellas are still in the shed. Surprised you guys forgot about it." 4 years ago is when I found the beach, we brought a lot of stuff. And a creeper.
(Axle) "Oh yeah. So what do you think Rios? Another game of ball while we're there?"
(Rios) "You're going to lose big man." When it comes to those two, it becomes rowdy. I don't know what caused them to have this sort of behavior towards each other.
(Ria) "Rivals to the end. Don't hurt yourselves guys."
(Silk) "I know who my rival is..." Redstone...
(Ria) "Jeez, you two are childish." Her fault. "NYAH! Spider!" There was a random spider on the beach. Figures.
(Me) "It's too hot to fight, and I'm sure that I don't want to pick up the stuff I'm carrying." Silk screeched, which caused Ria to scream again. The spider acknowledged Silk and scurried down the sand bar.
(Silk) "It's gone. Let's go set up the chairs."
(Ria) "There's another spider! Someone get rid of it!" She's trembling with her eyes closed. Silk knocked her head.
(Silk) "I'm the spider. Forgot I can do that?" Ria opened her eyes and Silk made another screech.
(Ria) "Oh yeah, I keep forgetting..." Silk; has extreme strength, superb hearing, is able to see in the dark, walks as silent as Nether, and has a cute attitude. I don't know how am I good enough for her. Speaking of her, she's jumping like a maniac next to me.
(Silk) "Hey! Heyheyheyheyheyhey!"
(Me) "What?"
(Silk) "You wanna play beach volleyball too?"
(Me) "I'd rather jump into the water. Do you want to join me?"
(Silk) "Sure!" After we set up the chairs and the volleyball net, the two adversaries drew the volleyball court. Ria, decided to relax and sleep on one of the outdoor lounge chairs we set up. Silk...
was taking off her clothes...
(Silk) "What?" I don't believe I stared...
(Me) "N-nothing..." I took off my shirt and tossed it to our own individual umbrella. "Your nose is bleeding."
"I know..." I have nothing to wipe the blood with. Knowing that, I soaked my hands in the beach water and wiped most of the blood below her nose.
"Better?" She nodded, her face was still red. I assume she's dehydrated. "Do you want to eat?" Since Rios decided that he should build a protective wall surrounding the settlement, we've been attracting an excessive amount of attention. It seems to have been counterproductive for the moment. (but it helped me realize that I need a better close range weapon other than my arms and legs.) Silk and I had to defend "our fort," from what Axle now calls it. Even in the daytime, we had to fend off creepers and one time, a greefer. Eventually, after 3 months, Rios and Axle has finally funded enough Emeralds to purchase the required amount of obsidian to fortify the wall. Today was when they finished it, and how much I hated it when all of the creepers decided to enter through a single incomplete section of the wall. Me and Silk spent the time from this morning to noon, killing the seemingly endless waves of them. We never got anything to eat, so Silk might be hungry and dehydrated at the current moment.
"Sure!" I forgot to mention, Rios now has a full supply of gunpowder. So I have to stay away from him for a while...
"Would mushroom soup be okay?"
"Anything would be fine." I grabbed two bowls of soup from the picnic basket and gave one to Silk, who was sitting under an umbrella.
"Arigato." In the 4 years that we have been together, we've fully translated those one liners we keep saying to each other, though it's a start.
"Hoyn-nyen." We spent the next few minutes sitting under the umbrella, watching the water dance with the breeze while drinking Ria's homemade mushroom soup.
"The soup is mushy."
"Well it's mushroom soup, it supposed to be mushy." After a few more seconds I heard Silk gulp down the rest of her soup and ran to the water.
(Axle) "Hey Shorty!" I'm twenty, and the shortest guy of the party. (I'm only shorter than Yurei by one centiblock.)
(Me) "Let me guess, you want me to ref."
(Rios) "Pretty much!" The game was simple, keep the ball from touching your side of the court. You can only touch up to three times and you have to alternate your partner. The ball has to land on the opponent's court to score a point. If the ball lands out of the court or hits the net, your opponent scores a point. I don't play it often, but I've been taught how to play. Isn't there supposed to be more than 2 people playing?
(Me) "Axle has the ball first." My position on the court faces the water and the court at the same time. Silk can't swim, so I may have to save her if something happens. Luckily for me, she's sitting on the shore. "Out! Rios scores. One to Love." Love... A word that I never would of thought I'd experience when I was younger.
(Rios) "Easy win." I wonder how they can move so much in the heat. Probably due to many factors, humidity, wind, and the mere fact that we're in the beach. Silk was making splashes on the water with her feet.
The game went on for a few more minutes, it was a close game really.
(Me) "20 to 3. Rios leading." It looks like Ria did not move at all when she was sleeping, except for the time she scratched her nose.
(Axle) "This is going to be a comeback!" After a few more seconds...
(Me) "Point, Rios wins. I'm outta here." Looks as though Silk was mesmerized by the water. I poked her on the head I attempt to wake her from that trance.
(Silk) "Kon'nichiwa!"
"Nei-ho." I started walking deeper into the water. Silk decided to follow me in. Once I hit that one block ledge underwater, I turned to tell Silk to watch out only to have her fall on top of me. A brief moment of me being trapped underwater later, I was able to get the panicking Silk on my shoulder. "Do I really have to teach you how to swim?"
"Yep (pop noise)" I let her down on the block deep water and she hugged me around the neck.
"You should hold on to my shoulders." She did as she was told, though I could tell she was displeased. "Let's start by kicking." As I began treading in the water, Silk was making splashes with her feet. She showed no signs of fatigue after moving a few dozen blocks, so I decided to phrase her. "Very good ji-gu."
"What's a 'ji-gu?' Oh is it a nickname?"
"Spider. Ji-gu means spider."
"Oh cool." She patted my head while repeatedly saying, "Kumo" over and over again. As a joke, I wedged my hand between my shoulder and her hand. Which caused her to lose her grip and eventually fall in the water. "*Bubbling noises* Hey! *More bubbling noises* Can't swim! Are you trying to kill-... Hi..." I managed to get under Silk while she was flailing. Now she's sitting on my shoulders. I bet that scared her.
"Did that scare you?" She flicked me on the ear.
"Oh look!" Silk turned my head towards the shore. Yurei was walking into the sand, wearing a summer dress and a straw hat. She was carrying Bone and holding hands with Rex.
(Ria) "Hi Rexy! You wanna hang with mommy today?" Rex was a silent one, the complete opposite of his parents.
(Silk) "Hey when did everyone get married again?"
(Me) "When they were around 20."
(Silk) "We're that age ya know."
(Me) "Can't I live it for the fullest?"
(Silk) "Game over?"
"Nah, there's a lot of things I can't do once I'm married. But there will be more once I do."
"Like what?"
"I could imagine."
"Imagine? Like a family?"
"No, I was imagining us growing old together." That was a weird way to put it.
"So... you're saying that we'll eventually get married."
"You could put it that way. Rios used a large portion of my emeralds so I can't buy you a ring."
"SO technically... you're proposing."
"Worst time ever, but partially."
"You know I'll say yes anyways right?"
"Whatever, wait a few more weeks and I'll propose to you proper."
(Bone) "Poof!" He tossed sand at Yurei's face.
(Me) "Now I'm worried about the family part."
(Silk) "Who cares, everyone is one in a billion." Why did that sound off?
I'm just being original. End of Sequel; tune in for the last part of the story!
