Patton was on a jog down the beach and for running in the sand, he was going pretty fast. He had his headphones in and was playing some pump up music. He was, for lack of better words, 'in the zone'. That is... Until this happened next:

He was too busy running, looking straight on until he ran right over a small kid's sand castle. The teen immediately stopped and yanked his headphones out, and looked at the child, who's eyes were watering quickly, "Oh crap... Sorry kid..." He mumbled softly, scratching his head awkwardly.

The kid looked up at him and started pouting, "Y-y-you broke my castle..."

Patton knelt down and gave the child a look, "Listen kid, I'm real sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going... Do you want me to help you build a new one?..."

But it was too late, the young boy started crying uncontrollably and made out a few words, "Y-y-you're s-s-so mean!"

Not wanting to cause a scene, Patton grabbed the boys shoulder and whispered, "I'll buy you ice cream or something, what flavor do you like?"

The young boy looked him in the eye for a moment without crying and then took a deep breath. The teen was relieved that he seemed to be calming down, but then... "STRANGER DANGER! I need a grown up!" The kid screamed.

Patton's eyes bulged and he immediately covered the kids mouth, trying to stop the false accusations, but then he heard a deep voice of an adult from behind him, "What the hell are you doing to my kid, you pervert?" Patton, let go of the boys mouth and turned around to try and explain himself, but went blank for words when he saw the man was twice his size, bald, and had muscles bigger than Patton's and Wally's combined. "I'm talking to you... Punk!" He jabbed a finger into Patton's chest, which felt like a punch from a normal man to the teen.

He started to sweat nervously and stuttered, "I was just apologizing to him..." He chuckled awkwardly, "I accidently-"

But then the boy intervened, "He kicked my sandcastle, daddy!" This caused the man to glare daggers at Patton, "Then he grabbed me and told me he would get me ice cream if I stopped crying!"

Patton suddenly saw how his choice of action and words wasn't the smartest, but it didn't matter, the man glared at him straight in the eyes, and hissed, "Do you know what's going to happen now, Perv?"

Not wanting to know what the man planned on saying, the teen laughed and said, "Uh... I run?" And with that, he sprinted off and continued his way down the beach, hoping that the father wouldn't give chase, but of course he was sorely mistaken... The large man was much quicker than he looked, too...

Nigel gave up on trying to relax in the water, due to the pool incident, and decided to read on the beach instead. He decided that he would hold his place and go on a walk to the bar to get himself a drink, due to the hot sun. He walked over to the chairs where Fanny and Rachel lay and took a seat on another chair next to them. "Hey guys!" He said cheerfully. Neither responded, and it became evident that they were both asleep.

And the brit couldn't help but notice Fanny was on her side, he went to go confirm that the girl was indeed asleep, and he was shocked by what he saw. So much so he let out a squeal of surprise that woke up the girl.

Her eyes shot open and she glared directly at the bald teen and screamed, "May I help you?" She bolted upright and continued to stare Nigel down, he still remained quiet. "Well?"

He simply stuttered and pointed at her face, "Y-you... You... Uh..."

Upset with his inability to answer, Fanny growled, "My face?" Nigel nodded, "What's wrong with my face?" But instead of waiting for an answer she leapt off of the chair and stormed to the bathroom to look in a mirror. When she saw her face, she let out a scream that shook everyone around the bathroom.

In the mirror she saw her usual face... Except half of it was completely bright red from sunburn and halfway across her face, separated right down the middle, was a non-burned half. She screamed again and then shouted, "I'm like fuckin' Harvey Dent! AH!" She ran back to her spot with Rachel and ignored Nigel's consoling words and immediately laid opposite of how she was all day prior.

"What happened?" Rachel asked, just getting up from her nap, stretching. She let out a yawn and gave Nigel a look that begged the question, 'What's her problem?'

Nigel tried his best to give body language to explain Fanny's condition, but failed miserably, so Rachel simply tapped the Irish girl on the shoulder. "WHADDA YA WANT?" She screeched to the blond girl.

Rachel sighed and replied, "What's the matter?" Fanny sat up and revealed her defect. "Augh!" the blond teen shrieked, "How'd that happen?"

Her friend was clearly not amused, "There are TWO things that happened: The first is that I was on my side when I fell asleep!..."

"What's the second?" Nigel intervened, genuinely curious.

"I'm friggin' Irish as a bagpipe, stupid!" She shouted, back handing the boy as hard as she could. She then felt the heat from one half of her face and started growling again, "And to top it off, it's like six o'clock! I'm never gonna even this out!" Nigel and Rachel both tried to offer consolation to the girl, but she continued ranting, "AND IT FRIGGIN' HURTS!" Fanny screamed, lightly touching her burn.

And then she heard the voices of Wally and Kuki coming up from behind her, "I told ya I didn't want to touch the sunburn guy, I knew he was going to get mad!" The australian said angrily.

Then the voice of Kuki shrieked, "Well he didn't have to get the hotel security! Someone took their drama pills! Yeesh!" But then as though it was sixth sense, she darted her eyes at Fanny, "Woahhhhhhh!" She looked in awe at the irish girl's sunburn and looking at it longingly, "She-" The asian girl started,

"She looks like friggin' Two Face from Batman! Sweet!" Wally finished, also admiring the awkward burn.

And before he could stop his girlfriend, she immediately dove at Fanny and started trying to make handprints on the tender red skin on her arm, to which the red head screamed, "Get off me you crazy ditz!" She shoved Kuki off and then cradled her arm softly and whimpered, "Owowowowow..."

Wally helped pick the asian girl back up off the floor and tried to whisper, not so discretely, "People don't like it when ya touch their sunburn babe..."

"Thanks, I can see that now!" Kuki huffed angrily, looking at Fanny and sticking her tongue out.

Rachel got up from her chair and put her her hat back in her bag and decided the lounging part of their day was over, "Well like Fanny said, it's getting on the later side, there's not much reason to stay out here anymore and I don't know about you guys, but I'm sorta hungry."

Nigel clapped his hands together and smiled, "Yes! So am I! I say we gather everyone up and get something for dinner and then enjoy the night life!" He looked around and saw Abby and Hoagie still lounging but then noticed something, "Hey... Where are Ace and Patton?..."

Ace, who had just finished playing volleyball with a group of women slightly older than himself, left satisfied with himself and the groundwork he laid with the attractive women. He saw the sun beginning to fall and he looked around for a sign of any of the teens that he flew into the country, but didn't see anyone lying around, but then he saw something:

"Get back her you little punk!" The fellow chasing back shouted angrily, still pursuing the teen.

Ace scratched his head and looked at the scene, "Is that one of them?... Hmmm..." He assumed the worst and jogged off after Patton and the father.

Patton, meanwhile, was starting to tire, it had been a good half hour of running and he wanted to know why the man hadn't given up pursuit yet... He turned to confirm that the man was still chasing him, but came to a short stop as he tripped over something... The obsidian haired teen found himself face first in the sand, next to, yet again, the little boy building a sandcastle.

The child looked at the teen and shrieked, "AH! Mommy! He's back!" He got up and ran away.

A little disoriented, Patton looked around and prepared to get back on his feet, but the he felt a thick pair of hands grab him and yank him off the sand and spin him around. It, of course, was the father, who was as terrifying as he had recalled...

"Alright... PUNK!" He yelled, spit spraying Patton's face, "You have ten seconds to explain... Or pray I don't strangle you, it's your ten seconds, do what you want with it." He laughed as the teen's face went white, despite the slight burn he had gotten, "Not so fun when someone bigger than you picks on you, eh?"

"P-please sir!" Patton chuckled nervously, "I didn't do anything wrong! This is a total misunderstanding! You see I-"

The man made a buzzer noise, "Whoops! Outta time pal." He raised a fist and Patton prepared for the worst until:

"Sir!" a voice called, and to Patton, it seemed likely that it was the voice of an angel... Except not really because he quickly realized it was Ace's voice he heard.

The man let go of the black haired teen slightly and turned to Ace, "Can I help you?"

Ace simply looked at Patton and asked, "What's the issue here? I'm sure I can prevent you from doing something you'll ultimately regret."

"I'm about to punch his face in..." The father grunted, signaling he was talking about Patton.

"And why were you gonna do that?"

"I'm GOING to do that because he tried to abduct my son, and he threatened him!"

Shaking his head, the teen with brown and blond hair laughed, "What basis are you making these claims off of?"

"My son told me-"

Ace laughed, "Sir, let me just say one thing: If your son is old enough to know what he's talking about, then I guarantee he's old enough to protect himself."

The man scowled at Ace, letting go of Patton, "What are you talking about kid?"

"All I'm saying is, what' your son? Seven? Six? Fi-"

"He's four."

Chuckling, Ace shook his head, "Even better! You really think a four year old really understands things like we do? You look like a protective parent, I'm sure your son freaks out at the smallest threats to the protection you provide him. If anything you're sending him the wrong signal by beating up my friend over here."

The father growled at Ace and hissed, "I'm not seeing why I still shouldn't beat his face into next Tuesday!"

Starting to get a little pissed off, and not really wanting to deal with this much longer, Ace growled back, "Alright no more calm talk. " His face turned red with anger, which caused the older man to get a little nervous, much to Patton's surprise, "I wasn't going to let it come to this, but if you go ahead and beat this kid up, he can take you to court. If he takes you to court, you're going to claim that he was assaulting your son... Based on what? The claims of a child who doesn't even know what the term assault means? Don't make me laugh, you'd get sued and then who's laughing?" He paused for dramatic affect and then exclaimed, "Lawyer'd!"

This speech made the father turn around and look at Patton for a moment, then he scratched his head, "Ah dammit... He's got a point... I may have overreacted a little..."

Patton really wanted to exlaim, "No... You think?" But he was grateful for catching a break, so he simply nodded and said, "Let's not worry about it... No worries." He extended his hand to the man, who grabbed it tightly still and shook it.

"But don't come anywhere near my kid again... I'm not making any promises if you do... Punk..." The father grunted as he turned and walked away.

Now that that was finally over, the black haired teen turned away from Ace and just grunted, "Fucking Ace and his being good at everything..." He started to walk toward the hotel before he heard the other teen.

"Wrong way, er-"

Furious that he was right... Again... He replied, "Patton! My name is Patton! And stop being good at everything! First you have a private jet, then you go all lawyer on that psycho, and now you're a human friggin' GPS! Geez you're gonna make everyone else look bad!" He walked right past his savior and hissed, "Thanks, I guess..."

Ace simply laughed "No problems my friend. It's getting late, how about we get cleaned up for dinner with the rest of the crew, eh?"

Patton, still feeling emasculated, simply grunted and kept walking... His feet were killing him from running in the sand for so long...

A/N: Well there ya go, I'd say I'm much more proud of this chapter and that if I keep it up, I can get back into the swing of things. I know it's nothing major, but trust me when I say that real story will be coming soon enough, I'm just having fun with these extended gags. If you want nothing but plot, then read my other fanfiction Life Ain't No Fairytale, that's definitely got a potentially good story. But for you humor fans, rejoice, I think I'm back in the swing of updating again and I don't plan on going on hiatus again any time soon for this story.

Seriously though, review, I need to hear what I'm doing right/wrong, I don't want to write what people don't wanna read, so criticism is very welcomed.

Ps for you fans of couples, don't expect the daytime chapters to have too much flirting, the nighttime chapters (one of which is coming up next) will be much better for you if the romance is what you're looking for.
