"I'll see you later" An Australian girl says to someone once she notices her best friend."Hey, Bodes!" Poppy rushed up to her best friend and hugged her. "How was your drive?" Bodhi Mercer asked. "I am the freeway Queen!" Poppy tells her. "Although Manu probably wouldn't agree," She said causing Bodhi to smile. "How are you feeling?" Poppy asked.
"I'm so nervous I'm literally gonna vomit" Bodhi sighed.
"Me too" Poppy admits.
"It's alright" She muttered as they hugged for a moment. The intercom static grabbed the attention of the two girls along with the person's voice. "Attention, Poppy Tetanui and Bodhi Mercer" Summer announced on the speakers; "Your pizza is ready!".
Poppy and Bodhi gave each other a confused look.
"I repeat, your pizza is ready" Pandora held back her laughter as she and Summer hid under a table.
"And, Marlon Sousa, could you please put on a shirt for once?" She said, looking between the table covers. "Hey!" The table cover eventually lifted and Summer's head turned with wide eyes. "I'll take that now. Thanks" Pandora crawled out from underneath the table with a small laugh.
She stood up, dusted herself off, and held out her hand for Summer to grab.
"Gotta split!" Pandora said as she noticed more adults coming up to them.
"They're over here!" Summer says, walking over towards the two other best friends near the wave pool. "Summer?" Bodhi question. "Summer?!" Poppy squealed as she ran up to the American girl and hugged her, her legs almost wrapping around Summer's hips. "Yo!" Summer beams.
"How could you not tell us that you were coming?" Poppy questioned.
"I got you so good!" Summer hugged Bodhi before she was greeted by her other friend. "America?" Marlon Sousa, still shirtless, questioned. "Brazil! What's up?" Summer happily hugged him. "Hey!" He chuckled.
"Could everyone clear the water, please?" The announcers said on the speakers causing Summer to look behind her.
"Hey" Ari said as he walked over towards the group, noticing Summer Torres almost immediately.
"Hi" She responded. Taming her growing smile, Summer swooned as the moment she had been waiting for was about to happen. Walking up to him, Summer was bumped by a girl who ran passed her. "Hey, handsome" A blonde says before she wraps her towel around Ari's neck and kisses him. "Oh, damn" Pandora's eyes widen.
"How was practice?" Summer pulled her eyebrows together, frowning. She backed up a bit and Pandora took that as a sign to join her side. The taller girl placed a hand on her back and rubbed it in a circular motion for comfort. "Sorry I couldn't get away from the signing" The girl says.
Pandora clears her throat, and Ari looks in their direction once more. "Um, Wren... This is Summer" Ari introduced the two girls. Wren Radic thought about the name for a moment before she realized who Summer was. "Oh, my god! Summer, hi!" Wren came up to Summer and hugged her.
