Author's Note: I am so thankful for this summer and the fact that I have nothing to do. I've been so on top of my stories and hopefully it stays this way. I'm enjoying writing my Teen Wolf fics so much and like every time I go to write it's so hard to decide which one I want to write for. I am so thankful for this season of Teen Wolf and how much Stydia there's been. It makes me so happy that everyone's reading both of my stories! J I hope you don't mind that there's going to be a lot of parts to "The Beach Trip" and I might add other chapters that aren't part of it in between postings, just letting you know. No set plan or anything though, thanks for listening to all of my rambling.

"Are you guys ready to go get lunch?" Isaac asked peaking in Lydia and Allison's room for the duration of their stay. He saw the door to the bathroom was open so he walked there to stand in the doorway. All three girls were in front of the mirror fixing their make-up and doing their hair.

"We will be in a minute." Lydia said, looking at him with an annoyed smile.

"You said that like five minutes ago." He said folding his arms across his chest, expecting a weak rebuttal.

"You can't rush perfection Lahey." She winked in mockery before turning back to the mirror to swipe eve shadow across her lids. He sighed, realizing that they would be ready when they were ready, no rushing their process. He walked back across the house to where the guy's rooms were.

"They said they'll be ready in a minute. But I'd take that with a grain of salt." Scott groaned in slight annoyance and threw himself back on the bed.

Ten minutes later they were ready, walking into the guy's side of the house. Both rooms had two double beds, a small closet, and a connecting bathroom.

"Are you guys are finally ready?" Stiles asked, getting up from his spot on his bed, and turning off the TV show he was watching.

"I'm sure I could change my outfits a few times if you want." She was half serious, half kidding. Stiles rolled his eyes at what he thought to be an empty threat at best.

"No! I mean you look fine, there's no need to change." He assured her. They all went down stairs and out to the driveway, piling back into the vehicle, minus the trailer which was now in the home's garage. Everyone took their previous seats in the SUV. They drove into the town where all of the restaurants and activities were. It was a short drive and even within walking distance. The boardwalk ran along one side and all of the big restaurants and stores were on the other. There was even a small water park, movie theatre, and plenty of mini golf to keep them busy during the duration of their trip.

Eventually they found a pizzeria and decided to eat there. They sat at a booth with Erica, Isaac, and Danny on one side and Lydia, Stiles, Scott, and Allison on the other, in that order. The side with four were squished to say the least, having squeezed into a booth that was really only meant for three people. There was enough room for all of them; they all just super close to one another. Lydia usually would have been annoyed if anyone other than Allison was sitting in such vicinity to her, but she didn't mind how close to Stiles she currently was. She wondered if his feeling for her were as strong as they were a year or so ago, or if he had moved on to the friendship side of their relationship. She was fairly certain he still had a crush or something on her, and how she had a crush on him.

She thought to herself carefully and almost afraid to admit to herself the idea she had. But the made the plan regardless. She was going to flirt with him, to test the waters. And then if he responded properly then maybe they could get a little closer and flirt. Living with him for a week or so would give her an indication if she really could handle him. And what could be more fun than flirting, Lydia lived to flirt, and she knew how much better it felt when she actually liked the person and they liked her back. But even if he did end up liking her back and they flirted while on the trip, she was definitely not going to announce anything to her friends. Especially in case things didn't work out, she didn't want to end up looking like an idiot.

Stiles almost couldn't even get over the fact that he was on vacation with his crush since the third grade let alone sitting next to her and she didn't even protest it like she would have a few years ago. He tried not to think about her bare, short clad leg right against his (but of course not all the way, she was significantly shorter than just about everybody) and how her shoulder and arm was flush against his.

"So before we go back to the house I think we should go by the store and get some groceries." Allison suggested as the waitress brought out some breadsticks for everyone to eat before their meals arrived.

"Sounds good to me. Oh we should get stuff to build sandcastles on the beach!" Stiles suggested excitedly and it was not well received by the table, judging by the weird looks everyone had on their faces.

"Yeah, you know that could be fun. My parents never did that with me, it'd be something cool to do." Lydia said, everyone else looked at her oddly but not with as much judgment as they had given Stiles. "Oh come on, it's probably really fun. We should do that." She spun it so everyone was suddenly realizing it wasn't such a weird idea.

Did she just defend my idea? Stiles wondered to himself, but chalked it up to her actually wanting to build a sandcastle. Lydia did like the idea of it, but it was really step one in her newly formed plan of action.

"We should get some stuff for the pool too." Lydia suggested. "Like beach balls and lounge chairs to float on." Everyone nodded their heads in agreeance

"Ok we also need to figure out a way to get some…booze." Erica stated, whispering the last word to prevent anyone else in the restaurant from hearing.

"Danny looks the oldest out of all of us, and he uses his 'ID' all of the time." Isaac pointed out, Danny didn't look mad at the accusation, actually he looked more proud.

Everyone was engrossed in the conversation; Lydia took it as an opportunity. She sat up in her seat so her feet could reach the ground all of the way and she lightly kicked one of Stiles' feet and stared at his faced. He didn't even flinch, but then again it had been really light. So she did it again, a few more times, in a row. His eyes became wide but she could tell he was trying to act like nothing was happening. He didn't even turn to look at her; he continued to pretend he was still listening to the conversation. She did her best to make herself look interested in the conversation as well. When she saw Stiles blush she knew not to be offended by him not looking at her. She knew it wasn't really something he had experience with.

"Yeah I saw a liquor store near one of the grocery stores; I can try to get some while you guys are shopping."

"You want one of us to go with you?" Isaac asked.

"No, because you look like you're ten and you really don't know how to lie without getting caught." Danny pointed out; this was true for all of them. None had ever tried to get alcohol illegally and actually obtained it. So everyone agreed that Danny would go on his own to retrieve the liquor for the trip. A few moments later the waitress brought everyone's meals to the table.

"I think when we get back to the house we should check out the pool." Scott said. Lydia slipped her foot out of her sandal and took a bite of her pasta before adding something to the conversation.

"Oh and tonight we should go see if there's anything fun to do on the boardwalk." Lydia added as she ran her foot ever so subtly down Stiles' shin. He almost choked on the water he was drinking, he immediately placed it back on the table and hit his chest to make sure no water went into his lungs. Everyone looked to see if he was alright.

"Are you ok?" Isaac asked.

"Yeah…yeah…I'm fine. Great, actually. Perfect." He stammered and Lydia smirked.

"I like Lydia's idea, let's do that." Erica added, everyone nodded their heads in agreement once again.

"That is a great idea." Stiles added, finally looking at her with an uncertain face. Her foot was still lingering around his leg.

"I know right?" She smiled genuinely and winked before proceeding to eat her food. Stiles had a slight boost of confidence when she had smiled at him and continued to play footsies with him. They went back and forth throughout the rest of the meal, playfully touching each other's feet.

"Ow! Who just kicked me?" Danny yelped after they had finished putting their leftovers in boxes.

"Oh…sorry, that was me." Stiles apologized and blushed simultaneously. Lydia bit her lip to stifle the growing laugh inside of her.

"It's alright just don't do it again." After the check was paid for they slid out of the booth and got back in the car, headed to the shopping center where the grocery store was located. They all exited the vehicle, Danny headed to the liquor store while the rest headed to the grocery store.

It was one of those grocery stores that wasn't very fancy but it was convenient and had food and plenty of fun things they could buy and take to the beach and pool with them. Allison, Isaac, and Erica went to get the food and the remaining three went to the beach aisle.

"Oh my gosh let's get some of these!" Lydia smiled as she put a few pool noodles into the shopping cart.

"Do we need beach towels?" Stiles asked. "Or chairs?"

"No chairs, we brought some with us for the beach but maybe get a few beach towels just in case someone forgot one." Lydia told him, as he put three into the cart.

"Look! These soak up the water and then you throw them at each other!" Scott said putting something into the car. They grabbed a few water guns, water balloons, a volleyball, sunscreen, floating pool chairs, boogie boards, and of course things to build sandcastles with. Lydia laughed the entire time, Scott and Stiles were idiotic at times but they always made her laugh and that always made her feel so comfortable and relaxed. That's what she really needed too, especially after Jackson and all of his crap. She was glad she decided to be friends with them and not be the popular girl anymore. She wasn't unpopular at Beacon Hills High but now people actually liked her and she had real friends.

They met up with the rest of the group and checked out and headed back to the car where Danny had succeeded in his attempt to purchase liquor for the group. No one intended on getting blasted every night or anything but they wanted to have a little fun with alcohol possibly involved. Everyone gave Danny high fives and they loaded the SUV and headed back to their beach house.

"Geez are we like five again?" He questioned, looking at all of the beach toys they had gotten.

"No, but what's wrong with having a little bit of fun with toys?" Lydia asked raising her eyebrows, she was really excited to have a few water gun battles and build a few sandcastles. They made it back to the house and put all of the groceries away and brought all of the beach toys into the house.

"Pool time!" Allison shouted as everyone rushed to their rooms to change into their swimwear for the afternoon.
