(taking place in July)

Lily wants to go to the beach for her birthday. She was fine with just a day at the beach, but to her surprise, Sunstreaker insists they take a vacation with friends. Though a vacation for them is going to one of Cade and Vivien's homes for a week. A break from living at the base and being in the city. Sunstreaker didn't think she'd want to camp on the beach.

"Is he going to worry?" Sunstreaker asks Crosshairs.
"Like you aren't worried? Otherwise, why would you be asking?" Crosshairs Challenges, "everyone is worried about Jamie. Drift will be with her if she tries anything in the water."
Sunstreaker knows Crosshairs is worried one day, what he and Drift do to keep Jamie safe will backfire. Everyone is worried they'll lose their friend.

Cogman already has two tents setup on the beach and a lit fire pit when the friends walk through the groundbridge. It's only two in the afternoon, but no one questions why Cogman lit a fire. The six are ready for a beach afternoon that includes swimming in the ocean.
"It's cold," Lily complains as she stands at the coast. Waves drowning her feet.
"Get in the water," Sunstreaker comments as he picks Lily up.
"No, no, no!" She yells but doesn't get free as Sunstreaker walks deep into the water. Stopping as the water level is chest high.
The others laugh. Drift follows Sunstreaker's lead, carrying Jamie into the water. Sideswipe isn't surprised Crosshairs is taking pictures, but he didn't think Crosshairs would take pictures of Sunstreaker and Lily. After many pictures, Crosshairs and Sideswipe join their friends in the water.

The fun lasts for an hour. Cogman returned several times to make sure the fire kept going. The six friends sit around the fire
To dry off and get warm. Feeling a little cold after getting out of the water. Returning to the house for dinner.

The group returns outside at eight with their friends Cade and Vivien. Cogman working on another fire. Sideswipe and Lily impatiently waiting to make s'mores. Both eying the pack of Reeses Drift has.
"You guys have s'mores which Jamie doesn't like," Drift argues, "except for the graham crackers."
The two femmes laugh at how displeased Sideswipe is.
The friends enjoy the fire and their snacks for an hour before putting the fire out and going to bed.

"I have an idea, how about a midnight swim?" Sunstreaker whispers to Lily.
Both have no interest in skinny dipping, but Lily likes the idea. Not worried about waking Sideswipe up.

At midnight, the two sneak out of the tent. Sunstreaker staring at how beautiful Lily is in the moonlight. He stops Lily from going into the water and kisses her on the lips, not wanting the moment to pass. Wishing Mirage was around to sneak a photo. After a minute, Sunstreaker carries Lily back into the tent. Having her lay on him. Lily doesn't mind at all. She loves Sunstreaker and the change of plans.

Crosshairs stands on the balcony at five-thirty in the morning. Not caring that it's only dawn, as he looks at the beautiful view of the lake. The wind blowing lightly. Thinking of the weekend that flew by. How Drift finally stopped worrying about Jamie, which led Crosshairs not to worry about his friends.
