I honestly have no excuse for this break. I honestly forgot about it until a couple of weeks ago and have been procrastinating ever since. So, I finally have the motivation to continue this.

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) sat up in his bed and stretched before falling right back into the bed enjoying the nice, comfy bed of his with a smile on his face. Sadly, he knew he'd have to get up sooner or later, and if it was later, Callie or Marie would be the ones waking him up.

The room was lit by the sun rays coming in through the window. He looked over to the nightstand next to the bed and unplugged his phone from the charger and checked for any messages or calls since he expected that someone back home would've called him or something.

(Y/N): Hm. No messages or calls. Guess they were more calm about it than I thought they'd be. Sweet.

He stood up out of his bed, going towards his suitcase where the rest of his clothes were when suddenly Callie burst in.

Callie: (Y/N)! Get undressed!

(Y/N): Don't you mean get dressed?

Callie: Yeah, that. Get dressed, we're heading out to the store to pick up some basics in the edible category, and we're going to check out a few stores while we're there.

(Y/N): Okay, give me a minute.

Callie nodded then left the room for him to get the rest of his clothes on.

Elizabeth POV

Liz was just sitting on the couch in Veronica and (Y/N)'s living room, tying up Veronica's hair in a braid as Veronica attempted to do the same to a doll in front of her.

Pearl came falling through the door, landing right on her face. Liz and Veronica just looked over at the sight that landed before them before Veronica went back to doing her doll's hair.

Liz: Nice.

Pearl lifted her face off the floor and then stood up after speaking.

Pearl: Shut it. Now, where's (Y/N) at?

Liz: Not here.

Marina walked in behind Pearl, shutting the door politely.

Pearl: Then where is he?

Liz: He said Callie was coming to pick him up and take him somewhere and he needed me to watch Eight.

Marina: Didn't he say where he was going?

Liz: Nope.

Veronica: Yeah.

Veronica spoke without looking away from doing her doll's hair.

Pearl: What?!

Marina lowered herself to Veronica's level.

Marina: Can you tell us where he went?

Veronica: Hmmm... I don't remember.

Pearl: Think, Eight. He told you where he's going, right? Just try to remember where he said.

Veronica: Hmmmmmm... No.

Pearl: What? What do you mean "no!"

Veronica: Not until my hair's done.

Pearl and Marina gave a conjoined sigh as Veronica smiled.

Veronica: It's hard to think while she does it, but I want her to finish up.

Marina: Fine. What're you two watching?

Liz: It's this one movie where these people all get stranded on an island.

Pearl: Sounds pretty good.

(Y/N) POV

The three of them were walking down the pathways which led to the shops. Marie was in a tank top with shorts while wearing a sun hat atop her head. Callie, on the other hand, was wearing a nice sundress with a pair of sunglasses to help with the glaring sun. (Y/N) was just wearing a simple t-shirt with shorts, along with some sandals.

Eventually, they managed to get to the market area where there were plenty of people going in and out of stores, gift shops, and such.

Callie ran to the nearest gift shop, so the other two followed up behind her as they looked at all the neat little souvenirs such as shirts, cups, bags, and other such novelties.

Callie: Marie! Can we get some, please?

Marie: Not right now; we need to focus on getting food so our house is stocked.

Callie: But-!

Marie: No "buts." Now, do you want your souvenirs or food?

Callie: Food...

Marie: Exactly, now come on, you can pick out what you want to eat.

Callie joyfully ran ahead of the two.

Marie looked over at (Y/N) and noticed he was looking at his phone.

Marie: Something wrong?

(Y/N): I'm just surprised none of the others have tried to call me or text me or anything.

Marie: Maybe they're letting you relax?

(Y/N): Yeah, maybe.

He smiled, putting his phone away, back in his pocket.

(Y/N): You know, we're on vacation; I can't be worrying about that the whole time. I just need to enjoy our time here.

Marie: That's more like it. They'll call when they call.

The two went after Callie to the other shops.

Pearl POV

Pearl: An ISLAND?!

Veronica nodded in response to Pearl's shock.

Veronica: Yep! Callie and Marie invited him to come with them. He was packing his stuff and told me Liz was going to watch me.

Pearl: Why didn't he tell us?

Liz: Didn't he leave a note?

Marina: All it says was that he was leaving.

Liz: Figures. Well, is that all you wanted?

Marina: Yeah, that' al-

Pearl: Actually, I've got one more question. Who wants to go on a trip?

~~~

Marie POV

Callie: So, why are we going out to this restaurant if we just got a bunch of food?

Marie: Because I wanted us all to see what this place has to offer and I didn't want to go to the parks. Plus, I saw this place while we were shopping earlier.

Callie squinted her eyes and put her hand to her chin as she looked at Marie.

Callie: I don't know; what does the restaurant have?

(Y/N): Food.

Callie snapped.

Callie: You son of a squid, I'm in.

The three walked in and waited in line for them to be seated. After about five minutes, the three were seated in a booth with Callie and Marie sitting across from him.

Callie was already digging into the free bread while the other two knew to wait for Callie to take her bread first. Afterward, they each got a piece before the waiter came up and asked them for what they wanted to drink.

Marie: I'll have a bepis.

Callie: Tentacola for me.

(Y/N): I'll have a bepis too.

Waiter: Coming right up.

The waiter left and came back with their drinks soon after. The three thanked the waiter and returned to work.

(Y/N): So, this place is pretty cool, huh?

Marie: Yeah, it recently spiked in popularity with an uptake in people coming here.

Callie: I heard they have fun pool volleyball for people to play.

(Y/N): Well, I knew we'd be going swimming eventually, but it's cool to know it's not just a pool with a ton of others.

Marie: Volleyball is cool and all, but that's nothing. I heard they have events where they have a bunch of boats swimming around with an ink cannon to ink up the other boats.

Callie and (Y/N): Wooooaaah!

Marie: Exactly, sounds intense and like a heck of a time.

Callie: Can we go later?

Marie: Sure, but not today. It's already starting late and we haven't even gotten our food yet, just our dri- HEY.

Marie's bepis was gone and Marie knew to look at Callie, who was, of course, drinking it.

Callie: Gotta keep your eye on it or else I'm gonna drink it.

Marie just sighed knowing Callie will be Callie.

(Y/N): Here you go, Marie.

He was holding out his drink for her to take.

(Y/N): You can have mine.

She graciously accepted it, slightly blushing.

Marie: Thank you.

The three continued to talk and to admire the scenery of the restaurant before ordering their food. Callie's serving was basically the size of (Y/N)'s and Marie's combined. (Y/N) kept stealing tiny bits off of Callie's plates, so Callie would claw at him to fend the two off from her plates.

Eventually, the three finished their meal, paid the check, and brought whatever they had leftover with them as the three walked back to their house.

Marie: The fact that either of you two can eat that much and still walk.

(Y/N): Many years of training.

Callie: Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!

The three laughed among themselves as they walked up to the front door as Marie was pulling out the keys to unlock the front door.

Callie: You're letting yourself go (Y/N); soon you won't be able to eat anywhere near as me.

He gave a fake laugh at her statement.

(Y/N): We shall see.

The three walked in and their conversation was cut off by Pearl standing right there in the entrance and Marina, Liz, and Veronica were sitting over in the living room behind Pearl. Pearl had her arms crossed, looking right at (Y/N).

Everyone stood there looking at each other without making a sound for a few minutes before someone spoke with a wave.

Veronica: Hi (Y/N)!
