"Sun, why are you wearing that?" Blake asked confused. Despite having her own room and everyone being too busy exploring or doing whatever to bother her, someone still managed to disturb her quiet afternoon.

Sun stood in front of her covered in an all-black body suit, with only thing his hands, feet, tail, and head uncovered. Unfortunately. She thought. That's probably the only thing that would keep him quiet.

"Well, everyone is on the beach and I can't let them have all the fun."

"Yes, I know that." Blake said. Yang had popped her head by earlier saying that the team was going to go to the beach with JNPR. "But why are you wearing that."

"They wouldn't let me go with just my swim trunks on." Sun said sadly.

"Go to the beach?"

"No. Go surfing." Sun responded as he grabbed the board he brought with him. "Apparently these up tights from Atlas know how to suck the fun out of everything."

"Well, try not to drown." Blake sighed as she picked up her book.

"I doubt it. I'm as good in the water as on land." Sun responded.

"So you're a Sea Monkey?" Blake smirked.

"I wouldn't mind trying it." I'm sure Neptune would enjoy hearing that. Blake thought to herself as something was tossed at her head. "And I'm sure you won't mind surfing either!"

"What?" She removed the wetsuit that had been thrown onto her and held it out with one hand. "I am not getting in the water." She said dropping it onto the floor.

"Oh no, you don't." Sun said taking away Blake's book before she could bury her nose into it again. "I know you've been into the water before. Yang's told me about the time Weiss turned the pool into a personal ice rink."

"And I'm still mad at her for it." Black responded back to Sun, whose face was just inches from

"So that means you enjoyed swimming?" Sun asked raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't say that."

"But you didn't deny it." Sun tried again. Blake stared into Sun's eyes that were as blue as the ocean that she wanted to throw him into.

"Do I really have to prove to you that I don't like the water?" She asked.

"Yes." He responded, kissing the tip of her nose. "I'll meet you on the beach." He jump up and grabbed the surfboard. "And if you don't come you'll get a bucket of water over your head. A cold one." He finished as he slipped out of the door.

"You're the one who needs it." Blake sighed as she picked up the wetsuit again. "Not me."

After Blake changed she stepped onto the beach, the warm sand slipping between her toes. Farthest from the lapping water was Neptune, lying on a towel in grey swim shorts. He was soaking up the Sun as he watched him surf on the water. Weiss was next to him but was shaded by an umbrella, Long brimmed sun hat, and a sheer cover draped over her shoulders. She wore a one-piece bathing suit with cutouts in the side like her dance dress along with wedged sandals and studded sunglasses.

Closer to the water, Ruby was making a sand castle with Nora who was trying to protect it from Yang as she was pretending to be a Grimm and attack the castle. All three were in their bathing suits. Ruby in a one piece, Nora with a two-piece sport top and skirt, and Yang in a bikini. Ren was nearby, fully clothed to protect himself from the sun and sitting far enough to protect him from the flying sand.

Actually in the water were Sun, Pyrrha, and Jaune. Pyrrha and Jaune were splashing in the water. Pyrrha had a spaghetti strap, red, one-piece and Jaune was in black swim trunks. Sun was farther out in the water, sitting on the board as it bobbed up and down.

Blake slowly began making her way down toward the water. Her feet burned from the increasingly hot sand but she had to bide her time until she made it to the water.

"You made it." Sun called as he turned around and began to paddle toward Blake.

"Just because I'm here doesn't mean I'm enjoying myself." Blake called back, as she reached the water's edge, crossing her arms over herself. She did have to admit, the cool water was a refreshing change to her burnt toes. However, she was not looking forward to getting into the water.

"Just get on the board." Sun responded once he was close enough for Blake to get on. Well, close enough in Sun's eyes. He was still a good 20 feet away from the shore, only close enough so that his toes touched the sand when he sat up on the board. Blake looked down at the water and over to

Sun. "What's wrong?" Sun asked. "The suit will prevent you from drowning."

"I'm not worried about drowning." Blake retorted back. "I grew up on an island. Everyone has to learn how to swim so I couldn't get out of it, no matter how much I protested."

"Well then, you shouldn't have much to worry about." Sun said back calmly, gesturing to Blake to come forward. She sighed and took a step into the water, and then another. Eventually she made it to the board, the water just below her knees. She was actually surprised how well the wetsuit kept the cold water off her skin.

"Alright, now how do I do this?" Blake said, looking at the board.

"You get on." He responded back.

"Don't you lay down to do that?" She questioned.

"Right," Sun drew out, "I guess we're gonna have to do things a little different." Can't wait. Blake thought, her ears curling underneath her bow.

Eventually, Sun and Blake were able to get on the board. Blake crouched in front to maintain Their balance and Sun paddled from the middle.

"I think we're getting the hang of this." Sun said to Blake, as they were able to make it over their third rise.

"Yay. Can we go back to shore yet?" Blake responded with no emotion.

"No." Sun responded, stern yet hopeful. "We're not going to shore until you ride a wave."

"You got me onto a surfboard, isn't that enough?" Blake asked, but Sun didn't appear to hear her. There was a fresh wave coming in their direction and Blake could tell Sun was determined to try surfing it.

"Get ready!" Sun called as he turned the board around and began paddling furiously to get the board speed equal to the wave. However, the board began to shake as he paddled. With Blake on the board he wasn't able to lie down, causing him to shake his balance with each stroke. "Blake, I need you to..."

Before Sun could finish, Blake suddenly vaulted off the nose of the board and dove into the water. The force of her jump tipped the board, throwing Sun sideways into the water. He quickly breached the surface and reached for the board to prevent it from floating away.

"Well you can't surf without a few wipeouts, eh, Blake?" Sun said, wiping away the hair from his face with his free hand. However, when he opened his eyes, he only saw open water and the beach in the distance.

"Blake? Blake!" Sun called, searching for some sign of his feline friend. All he got was a fish out of water. "Blake?" Like the ninja she is, Blake had popped up behind Sun, a fresh fish caught within her teeth. She swam to the board and pulled herself up to sit down, her legs dangling in the water.

"Um, what happened?" Sun asked as Blake took the catch of the day out of her mouth.

"You came for the waves, I came for the fish." Blake responded. "And there's nothing like a fresh catch. Plus, I knew the board was gonna go down." She finished as Sun tried to get onto the board. His only response was an attempt at pushing her back into the water. However, he lost his grip on the board and only managed to slide over it and back into the water, the ankle strap trailing behind him.

"Now, let's get back to shore." Blake said as Sun resurfaced. "Maybe Weiss can convince the chief to cook this up for me for dinner."
