Ethan sat there on the boat as he and his family sailed around the shoreline, ocean mist spraying up onto his sunglasses as he watched his father drive the boat.

"It sure is beautiful today, look at the clear water!" his mother said as she sat there with a big sunhat covering her head as she smiled at her son. Ethan smiled back at her as he leaned in Benny's arm as he looked up at the baby blue sky and watched the clouds drift slowly by.

"Hey Mr. Morgan, you should stop the boat so we can go swimming. The water is crystal clear here and the current doesn't feel too strong," Sarah said from beside Ethan's mom and Jane as she filed her nails down with a pink nail file.

"Sure Sarah, I'll drop anchor here," Ross said as he stopped the boat and walked over and threw down the metal anchor, the rope continuing to unravel before going limp once more.

Ethan got up as he stripped off his shirt and threw it to the side as he motioned for Benny to join him. Ethan stood there and smiled at the white sandy beaches not too far from them with the city buildings in the distance. He smiled as he ran forward and jumped into the turquoise water, feeling the cool waters envelop him as he swam down and touched the sea bottom filled with coral and seaweed. That's when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him as he turned around and saw Benny behind him smiling as he swam to the surface and began to laugh alongside his Life Mate. Ethan looked over as he watched Sarah take off her gown and displayed a new swim suit she had just bought.

"Like it guys? It's Coachella, just bought it yesterday!" Sarah squealed before striking a pose and then jumping into the water next to them. Ethan swam for what seemed like hours alongside Benny and Sarah as he watched his sister swim with his mom and dad, Benny's grandma sitting on the boat fanning herself with a oriental fan.

"Hey Ethan, let's see how well we can hold our breath!" Benny challenged as he splashed his Life Mate teasingly.

"Your on!" exclaimed Ethan excitedly as he took in a deep breath and dove down, swimming to a piece of sturdy looking coral to hold on to. Ethan smiled to himself until he felt his lungs beginning to ache, trying to swim back Ethan felt himself get snagged on a piece of strong seaweed. Ethan began to tug and pull at his foot as he tried maneuvering out of the seaweed.

Benny resurfaced to the top as he yelled in defeat before he started splashing his arms to signal Ethan to come up. He kept himself afloat there for a bit longer before he started noticing something weird, his life date was beginning to flicker and fade.

"Ethan? Ethan!" Benny hollered as dove back under and saw his Life Mate struggling to break free from a seaweed cluster. Benny swam down as he looked into Ethan's scared eyes before cupping his face and kissing him, giving him his air before swimming a bit further down as he struggled with the seaweed. Finally out of frustration, he lurched forward and began to bite into the seaweed before feeling it finally snap as he grabbed Ethan and swam to the surface. He could feel Ethan's body was weak from struggling as he tried kicking his feet softly, before they both finally broke the surface. Ethan began coughing and gasping for air as Benny swam with him towards the edge of the boat, Evelyn jumping up form her seat as she dragged Ethan on board.

"Oh my goodness, what happen?" Evelyn said as she looked at the downtrodden Ethan who continued to spit up water and gasp for air.

"His foot got caught on some seaweed and it kept him down there for too long!" Benny said worriedly as he threw himself onto the boat, everyone else making their way back as Benny took Ethan in his lap and began to coo to Ethan who just continued to cough. Ethan finally quit coughing as he laid there weakly and looked up at his Life Mate and smiled meekly.

"I..won," Ethan stuttered out as Benny began to laugh and traced his hands through Ethan's wet hair as they giggled together. Ethan smiled up at Benny's face as he placed his hand on Benny's which was now stroking his cheek.

"Thank you B...you saved me," Ethan said weekly as his mother and father got on board and started to hover over them worriedly.

"Don't mention it E, your mine now and I'm going to take care of you. Just don't scare me like that again," Benny said as he stared down into Ethan's brown eyes which started to glow slightly as they stared up at him. Benny pulled Ethan closer as they continued to smile and look at each other before finally getting up and diving into the water again, except no contests this time.

Later in the Evening

Ethan walked inside a fine dining restaurant alongside his family and friends as they took their seats. Ethan was dressed in a silk tuxedo as well as Benny and his father as the girls all wore beautiful dresses. Ethan smiled at Evelyn who wore a mink stole around her neck as she set it aside on the back of her chair.

"It's amazing the deals you get when your suddenly famous!" Ethan joked as he nudged Benny slightly who laughed.

"That may be, but these still cost a pretty penny son so no dirtying them up," his father said sternly as he glanced at his son from the menu.

"Hello everyone, my name is Erica and I am the manager at this fine establishment. I'd just like to thank you all for coming in and choosing us to cater to your needs tonight, if there is anything you need just holler at one of the waiters or me and I'll make sure you get assisted to the best of our ability!" the woman said cheerfully as she flicked some of her hair blonde hair behind her and walked off with a sway in her hips.

Ethan looked around at all the fine attire and china that people were using as he looked down at his menu, barely able to pronounce half the items on it.

"Honestly, I wouldn't mind pizza and a sundae over all this," Ethan whispered into Benny's ear as the other nodded in agreement.

Ethan decided against ordering anything he couldn't pronounce as he settled for a simple salad and water. He watched as everyone else ordered almost the same thing as he began to giggle and laugh, only getting weird looks from everyone else.

"Face it guys, we can throw on the fancy attire and expensive jewelry but we are still the normal people from Whitechapel Canada that eat burgers and steak every once in awhile," Ethan said before everyone else began to laugh to.

"I second that!" Evelyn said as she raised a glass into the air before downing a whole glass of wine and giggling with everyone else.

"Well let's try and enjoy this dinner, your mother and I won't be getting on that plane with you tomorrow Ethan," Ross said as he smiled at his son fondly before grabbing hold of his wife's hand as he nodded his head.

"Sweetie, your father and I have been talking for awhile about this. But now that you've found your Life Mate, we want to help you find a place to call your own for Benny and you. So we've decided that when you get back from your world tour in a year from now, we are going to save up till then so we can help put down a payment for a house for Benny and you. Your father and I love you very much sweetie and we couldn't be happier that you found your Life Mate," Samantha said as she wiped away a few tears coming to her eyes as she dabbed at them with a napkin. "We want you to be successful in life, and just know that if you need help with the pairing ceremony that you can always come to us or Evelyn. Benny...take good care of our baby boy. He's the only one we have, but we love you very much and trust you with him," Samantha said as reached over and grabbed both of the boys hands and squeezed them before raising her glass of wine into the air.

"I have a toast to make as well. Benny, in the short year I've been taking care of you I have come to think of you as my own child. I know your parent's would be so proud of you today darling because I know I sure am. I've watched you grow into a fine young man, and I couldn't have asked for a better grandson. Before your parent's passed away, they had been saving up a large sum of money to eventually go to you. It was meant to be for your future pairing ceremony, I've kept it and added onto it for the last year. I am giving it to you both as a gift of love and loyalty, I know your parent's would be so happy for you Benny. And I know his parent's would have loved to have gotten to know you Ethan, I know I sure have," Evelyn said as she wiped at her eyes as well and lifted her wine glass into the air before everyone clinked their glasses together in celebration.

Ethan looked over and took Benny's hand as he watched his Life Mate wipe his eyes with his sleeve as he smiled at his grandmother and Ethan's parents. He could feel emotion welling up inside him as well as he began to chuckle slightly as he nodded his head to everyone and told them he loved them.

"It looks like tomorrow we say goodbye to grand ole Los Angeles and head for the Big Apple. What would you say your favorite part of the trip would have been?" Benny asked Ethan as he looked over at his Life Mate and squeezed his hand back.

"Out of everything we've done from the boating and shopping and shows, I'd have to say the stargazing with you. That was my favorite part of the whole trip," Ethan said as he leaned back into his chair and thought everything over. He watched happily as his family began to laugh with one another and smile at each other, letting their worries melt away for one night as they came together to celebrate.

Suddenly the manager Erica walked over as she side stepped to avoid a waiter and bumped into Sarah. Ethan watched in surprise as Sarah's arm band began to glow a soft purple before Erica's began to glow a radiant yellow. Ethan just smacked his head against the table as Erica and Sarah both looked at each other in surprise and shock. He could already tell that tonight was going to be a long night as he almost instantly saw the daggers between the two girls.

So what do y'all think! Especially MonkeyKnight! Don't worry, it's not the last of Sarah and Erica, there shall be more. Please review my lovely fans!
