Char: Y'know, a common misconception of being me, is that I don't swim, just because I'm a fire type. Sure, water attacks sting, but just swimming around in a pool of water? Doesn't bug me at all! I just can't hold my breath down there very long, surprisingly. But anyway, that's not what this post is about. We went out to the beach today on Melemele Island. It was fun at first buuuut.....it got a whole lot better. I didn't get to film it, but it was hilarious XD Basically, Eve and I took a dip in the water (Sasha didn't go because she didn't like getting her feathers wet, and salt water was extra not fun. Geo burns too easily, so he stayed back to prep some lunch. Dad was still tired from waking up with a sore back, so he caught some Z's under an umbrella) and we just splashed each other, Eve convinced a young Lapras to sneak up behind me and hit me with a giant wave, and I used my wings to splash them back....I almost caused a Tsunami, but I still got her! And Dad, who still slept through it all. (So that's where I get it from!) Sasha had left conveniently to get everyone ice cream, and Geo barely got the food and himself out of there. Two unlucky, tiny Staryu got themselves stuck to Dad's chest and stayed there for a while. (I might've paralyzed them with fear...sorry spike and ruby...) The umbrella's still missing after that. I think some water pokemon has it now, but I dunno. Anyway, the Lapras gave us a wave to ride back in, while Eve made each of us a swift star surfboard, and we road back in.

Eve: Don't forget the part where you leaned too far forwards and fell off, catching a face full of sand.

Char: Th-they didn't need to know that! Like I way saying, we did, and helped Geo bring the food back. Sasha came back right after, with two cartons in between her arms and herself, a wrapped chocolate covered ice cream bar clenched between her teeth, and a cone in each hand. A Pyukumuku stuck its head out from the sand, and she tripped on it. Lucky that the cartons and bar were fine (as well as her tongue), but the cones... Not so much. The two vanilla cones landed on Dad's head and stomach, jerking him awake immediately! XD He was so startled, and sat straight up, wiping everything off him like a grass-type that was set on fire! All of us, except Geo, who was struggling to hold it in, burst out laughing. And no, it wasn't just that he woke up like that. The staryu had left him with star shaped tan lines on his chest that looked like he wore a bra of some kind! Instead of just sitting there confused like he normally would do, he got this wicked smile and said, "Oh, think that's funny, do ya?" He picked up what was left of the ice cream cones and chased us with them. Eve didn't want to get sticky, and the rest of us didn't want to feel that on our bare skin, so we booked it, laughing the whole way (again, except Geo, the joy killer)

Geo: I am not. I just didn't like the prank.

Char: I saw you smiling too, Mr. Toughguy.

Geo: And you just proved yourself wrong.

Char: Huh? Whatever. Point was, we had a great day. Who knows, maybe we'll find something else to do tomorrow that's just as fun.
