2 days have passed after the meet and greet with Zero, Simon and Bob and a sleepover with Wolf and the gang, today was something special to happen for Jet in his life for the summer.
After brushing teeth and getting the swimsuits Diane bought before Jet's pre-school ended but had to use dresses they wear to cover their exposed bodies so they're all dressed up, they drive for a few minutes until Diane revealed something to him.
"We're going to the beach?" Jet asked
"Sure we are, my little pup! A warmful and fun beach with your mommy foxy and daddy wolfy just for you!" Diane cooed while smiling at her pup.
Like the picnic Wolf, Diane and Jet had from last month, it's just the three of them as Wolf is also spending some quality time with Diane and Jet as he also got his swimsuit on but with a shirt thankfully.
Eventually, they reached their location to the beach where there are some humans with kids but there's also some anthro animal adults with their kids as well so there's no reason to hate them, although there is a lifeguard that is still human but it won't matter for now.
Diane parks the car shutting off the engine before getting out of her seat and opened the passenger door for Jet.
"Well, here we are sweetie. What do you think?" Diane asked
Jet gets out and looks around the whole beach with a truly great sight with some kids building sand castles or burying their parents in sand which is quite common for most kids to do that with their parent in some sort, but he can see the ocean that's almost in sight near the shoreline.
"This...This looks so cool and fun." Jet commented with his tail swishing left and right.
"It sure is." Diane smiled.
But then suddenly, a black muscle car (the same car that Wolf drives in from the movie) has drove slowly and parked in a parking spot that's near Diane's yellow car which caught Diane and Jet's attention.
"Huh? Who's driving in there?" Jet wondered with confusion
However, Jet immediately recognized it from which he has seen it again when Diane picked him up from pre-school and when Wolf was babysitting him.
"Wait...is that, daddy?"
With that, Wolf opens up the door and pops out of the driver's seat with a black t-shirt and orange swimming trunks (the same ones from the movie) he's wearing for the beach as he lowers his sunglasses to smile at Jet and Diane.
"What's crackin, kiddo! Heard you'll get to have fun at the beach with us, huh?" Wolf beamed a smile at Jet.
"Yeah, mommy didn't told me you were going to the beach with us too." Jet replied
"Well now you know, sweetie." Diane ruffled Jet's hair gently.
Several minutes later, after setting the beach blanket, putting out some outdoor chairs and an umbrella to shade from the sun, Diane brought along some sunscreen for Jet just in case if he gets sunburn from the sun too long which is an important thing for parents to put sunscreen on their children for safety purposes. After putting sunscreen around Jet, Diane helps put on some floating rings on his arms for him to stay up on the surface of the water if he gets deeper whenever he goes to the water.
After all that, Jet gets to play around the sand as he uses a shovel with a bucket Diane bought him before his summer would eventually begin, which is his first time to ever go on a beach to have all the fun even if he hasn't experienced in his whole life, but thanks to Diane adopting him with all the love and support he needed, he is at all heart's best.
Meanwhile, Wolf and Diane sat in chairs to have their relaxing day, after all these weeks from a month ago. Diane was wearing her red bikini, but Wolf is still with his orange swimming trunks which he usually wears whenever he gets to decide but Jet on the other hand, was wearing a nice fine blue swimming trunks that is toddler-sized to fit him.
"Ahhh, man these old times, I've once spend a day here with the other guys back in our criminal days." Mr. Wolf recalled.
"Well my handsome looking wolf, today is once again you and me with Jet again like last time." Diane said
"Oh yeah, that time you and me helped Jet feel better with this picnic we planned and it was a success after all, even though it was surprising that he called me 'daddy' before you tucked him to bed after we got home." Wolf said
"*giggles* Well, he certainly sees what you have in after all the babysitting all the time."
They certainly kept their love a secret from the gang, including Zero, Simon and Bob, even Jet as much as they've had their lunch date since May, and even that kiss they finally took in with romance they did, even if they are different but that never stop them.
However, they were suddenly interrupted when Jet ran up to them as to show them something he found.
"Mommy! Daddy! Look what I found!" Jet said with enthusiasm as he showed them a shell he found from the shoreline of the water.
Wolf and Diane looked at the shell and they were impressed seeing how Jet is quite a little explorer after all.
"Wow! That shell looks nice. You are a little explorer, aren't you pupper?" Diane smiled.
"Great job, little buddy." Wolf added
Jet's smile grew wider as of being praised by them with his tail swishing a little until suddenly...
*GRUMBLE*
Jet's stomach notified him as he put his hand on his belly which suggested that he is hungry.
"Oh my. Looks like you got in for lunch, huh?" Diane said
"Well, you're in luck because I've brought some food that Zero hope you'll like." Wolf said as he brings up a basket that has some food inside.
"Oh really? What is it, daddy?" Jet asked with keen interest.
"You'll see once I show it to you." Wolf smirked
Wolf opens the basket and begins to brings up that is...a hot dog!
"Ta da! A hot dog!" Wolf presented to Jet
Much to Jet's surprise, he has never eaten nor has he seen a hot dog before but now he's seeing it right in front of him.
"A hot dog? I've never eaten that before." Jet said
"Well kiddo, you are seeing it and will be eating right now." Wolf said as he holds it out for Jet to take.
Jet immediately takes it from Wolf's hand and slowly begins to make a taste test if it tasted good.
To his surprise, it was indeed very yummy and delicious but he excitedly munches down a hot dog much to Diane and Wolf's amusement.
"Hehehe! You little muncher." Diane cooed
"My oh my, looks like you've already dug in did ya, Jet?" Wolf smiled as he ruffled Jet's hair
"Y-Yeah. That hot dog tasted yummy, daddy. Can I...Can I have another one?" Jet asked as he held his hands out as of wanting another one.
"Haha. Guess why not?" Wolf replied as he brings out another hot dog for Jet.
10 minutes later, after eating the main courses Wolf brought along, they later went to the water but at the shoreline from going deeper as long as Jet is still by Diane's side and supervision from getting lost.
The water was quite relaxing for Wolf and Diane, even Jet as a trio but the sun was still warming on them which is quite a good thing for people to try to get some fresh air from the sun.
"Wowie zowie! The water feels...warm." Jet commented
"Indeed it is. See how relaxing it can be, Jet?" Diane smiled
A while later, Jet begins to make his first swimming attempt as a practice if he wants to swim on his own to reach up to them. In contrast, most dogs learn how to swim which takes up at least a few days or weeks to get use to swimming when in the water, but for Jet, he never once swim in the water nor in a swimming pool but today, he's getting the hang of it while having these floaties on his arms to make sure he doesn't go deeper into the water near the ocean.
"Come on, Jet! You can do it. Keep swimming." Diane encouraged
"That's it, buddy! You're doing it, you're doing it!" Wolf added
Jet tried his best to swim as he could with his strength but successfully, he managed to have learned how to swim in the water when he reached to Wolf before being scooped up by Wolf.
"You did it, kiddo! You learned how to swim!" Wolf praised
"Great job, sweetie! I'm so proud of you!" Diane added
Jet smiled as his little tail swishes around with the praise that got him once again.
"Now, can you try to swim to me Jet?" Diane requested as she opens her arms out for Jet to swim up to her.
Wolf puts Jet back in the water and Jet once again does his best to swim up to Diane.
Jet took time to swim with skills while having floaties on his arms to keep him up on the surface and finally, he reached to Diane as she caught him in a big loving hug
"Good job again, sweetie! You're starting to become a braver pup." Diane smiled as she nuzzles Jet's face
"You're a trained swimmer, aren't you?" Wolf commented as he smiles at the scene
"I-I guess I am." Jet answered
Diane and Wolf couldn't be more happier since Jet finally learned how to swim on his own whenever he is at the beach with them or in a swimming pool he gets to enjoy.
20 minutes later the sun was setting and it was time for Wolf, Diane and Jet to leave so they packed up the things they brought along but they had to shower to clean a bit of sand off of their legs which is important for most people and even animals that are anthropomorphic too.
Once after that, they begin to dry off with the towels Diane brought, but Wolf brought his own towel so there's no problem with it and once they're done drying off, they wear these clothes they wore to cover their exposed bodies which was before they got to the beach.
While at it, they went back to the parking lot where their cars are at.
"Jet, would you wait in the car please? I need a moment with daddy." Diane asked
"Okay mommy." Jet listened but walked up to Wolf and hugged his legs.
"Bye daddy." Jet said
Wolf hugged him back when he knelt down to his height
"Bye kiddo. I'll see you later." Wolf replied as he lets go of the hug
Jet got into the passenger seat as response and closed the door letting Diane and Wolf have their time.
"Well Wolf, I can't thank you enough, but it was a pleasure to have you join the beach with me and my pup. I'm real grateful for that." Diane thanked as she grabbed Wolf's hands gently
"No problem at all, Diane. Glad I came to join in, just like last time." Wolf smiled
"Yeah that time. Hope you have a good afternoon Wolf. I'll see you around, handsome." Diane said as she gave Wolf a goodbye hug
"You take care, darling." Wolf replied as gives in the hug.
However, they later formed a kiss on their lips as last time which was a romantic thing, as much as they share their relationship and from the past dates they've had for the last weeks.
It didn't take long for Jet to notice it from the car window which he can see from behind but he can't tell what they're doing which is a good cover for Wolf and Diane so he looked away to wait for her.
Their lips parted ways from each other.
"Man, that was quite the best, again." Wolf smiled
"*giggles* Well, there it is again. Anyways, I gotta get home now. Drive safe, Wolf." Diane said as she begins to walk around the car to the driver's seat.
"You too, Diane." Wolf replied before going to the driver's seat as well.
And soon, Wolf and Diane went back to their own homes.
On the way home, Diane looked over at her adoptive pup with a smile written all over on her face
"So, did you like the beach sweetie?" Diane asked
"Yeah, it was fun! I was exploring some shells you told me about, but I went playing in the water and in the sand, and those hot dogs tasted so good. And I finally learned how to swim you and daddy helped me!" Jet commented with a genuine smile
"*giggles* That's great, sweetie. I'm glad you had the fun today." Diane said
End of chapter 5
Author's note:
Hello everyone! I apologize for being inactive and for how longer this took because I was busy with things IRL, but I managed to take the time and my efforts to write this chapter all fine and good, but more heartful. BTW, that name of the chapter is a pun or reference to the name of the level in a Crash Bandicoot game from 2007 titled, 'Crash of the Titans (COTT)', but this may be similar to a chapter Snowcannon's story, 'Diane's little wolf', but I did managed to make it more lovable compared to the last chapter which Jet still sees in Wolf. And I want to promise and reassure you all that Jet won't be kidnapped in this story this time, as it still takes place in the year 2023 which Jet is still 4 until his birthday in November arrives in, but Marmalade is still in a maximum security prison under Diane's orders according to the aforementioned story I just said earlier. Anyways, hope you guys like this chapter! I'll see you real soon! ;)
