"Damn Sam, did you get into a fight?" I ask.
Sam is covered in bruises and what look like bite marks. I thought he was resting, didn't know I left him to the wolves.
"Yes mijo, there was a fight for my life against a cruel and-," I interrupt him.
"Yeah, I don't need to know about your foreplay, anyway, the beach is nice today," I say setting a cooler by some towels.
Moon and Mr. Kitty are playing volleyball. They are aggressively competitive. Chillet sneaks over to the cooler but I glare at him and he stops.
"You're not working today Rapido, the cooler has ice in it already," I say.
He hangs his head and turns away slowly. I guess he takes pride in his work. I can't say I feel bad when I'm useful, but I don't want him to just feel useful. He's my Pal and I want him to know that.
"Rapido, where are you going? Sambushi challenged me to a race, he thinks Jessica is faster than you," I say grabbing a soda out of the cooler.
"Chillet!" He replies hurrying over to me.
I stumble a little as he wraps himself around my feet.
"Chillet, Rap, Rapi, Rapido," he says struggling.
After finishing my soda I head over to the proposed starting point. Sam and Jessica linger over the ground ready to take off at a moments notice as I climb onto Rapido's back. I rub the back of his neck and he squints his eyes with pleasure. Back of the neck is his favorite spot.
"Jessica can be very competitive, I hope you don't think she'll hold back against you," Sam says laughing.
He stops laughing after a short silence. Rapido is already careening down the beach like a mad Pal. Sam pulls on Jessica's reigns and she blushes before rocketing forward sending sand flying into the air behind her.
"Come on Rapido, we got a head start, you can do this!" I yell.
Rapido's little paws beat against the sand as he propels himself across the warm sand with all four feet like a torpedo. I don't look back but I can sense Jessica and Sam gaining on us.
"Come on Rapido, we got this!" I yell rubbing his pinned back ears.
"Rapido!"
We are mere moments from the finish line when I hear it. A sharp whoosh behind me and a curious 'Jessica?'. Chillet slows as he crosses the finish line mere feet from Jessica. If she hadn't turned they would have won.
"What is it Jessica, ah, a snow lillie, what a strange flower to find on the beach," Sam says plucking it.
Jessica looks over at me and Rapido at the finish line and hangs her head in sadness. Sambushi pulls a small string from his poncho and uses it to tie the lillie to Jessica's head.
