I looked at the two girls. They smiled at me and handed me one of their towels. "So," I started, "I'm guessing you're new here." Victoria spoke first. "Yeah, we are." Her eyes darted from my vision. "Wait, aren't you the owner?" asked Sissi. "I am." I replied. She stared at me in awe. I heard a splashing noise from behind me as Lars pulled himself on to the deck. "Why don't we all hang out this afternoon? Get to know each other." I pitched in. They nodded, their eyes still glued on me now. I ran the towel through my hair, the water dripped onto the dock and splashed my ankles. I then proceeded to lie the towel on the dock to dry. "Let's jump in!" I yelled. I ran up to the side of the dock. I jumped and tucked in my legs. The water exploded on impact and rained down on the dock. I swam up to the surface. By the looks on our new friends faces, they had been splashed. Sissi wiped some water off her face and took off her shirt and shorts to reveal a blue bathing suit. She leaped in after me and created a large splash. We both tread water, staring up at Victoria. Lars was sunbathing on the dock, and looked rather annoyed at all the excess water he has been covered in. Victoria wore a green bathing suit with a lizard on it. Her body was already dripping from all the splashing. "Here I come!" She yelled and leapt off the dock. Before I could swim away I was pounded by the waves she had created. The water rippled around her entry point. In under a second she popped to the surface with a huge smile on her face. "I'm glad you like it." I cheered. I dove down into the water and swam 3 feet forward before returning to the surface.

We all swam for another 3 hours until the sun began to set. "Hey." I called, rubbing towel over my soaking body. Victoria and Sissi were also drying off. Lars had dozed off on the dock. I walked over and kicked him gently. "Yes?" Sissi finally said. "Why don't you two come join us for dinner at the resort?" I offered. Lars gave out a snort and sat up. "We would love to!" Exclaimed Victoria. A smile over whelming her face. "Will do!" I said. Lars was now standing behind me. I turned to him and gasped. He was bright red all over his face. The second he moved another muscle his hand shot to his burned arm. "Gah! I forgot to put on sunscreen. How stupid am I?" I pondered answering the question. My eyes glanced down at his calf which still had the mark where I shot him. "Why don't we all get dressed and meet downstairs in the lobby?" I suggested. My voice quavered slightly and I coughed to hide it. Victoria and Sissi turned around and we headed in doors.

It was pretty quiet and only sound was the lapping of the ocean on the dock. Lars and I headed to our room. We were about 10 feet away from Victoria and Sissi. We said a small goodbye before they headed up to the second floor. As soon as I opened our hotel room I ran onto the bed. My collapsed into the soft comforter. All that swimming was tiring. Lars looked at me and began to throw on some nicer clothes. Almost as if on que the ceiling began shaking. The anime music blared through our room as well. I got off my bed, but ignored the pounding noise of Japanese songs. I put on a small summer dress. It had an embroidered creeper with flowers snaking around the whole dress. I twirled once and the dress fanned out then collapsed inward like a closing umbrella. "Ready to go?" Lars asked me. I looked over at him. "Of course!" I said. I pulled my hair up in a pony tail and clipped a bow in. I opened the door. "I can't wait to spend the night with you." His eyes twinkled. I couldn't agree more.
