During the night when we were all happy and faded, we must have made plans to go places because when we all woke up in that nice hotel, there were sticky notes all over the room. Only one word was written on them: beach.

So that's what where we decided to go. Darren suggested a random beach away from the city and so in just an hour, we all left for the Paradise Beach. Somehow Darren and I got here before everyone else so we decided to just sit on top of his car.

"Isn't this beach great? The sand's like perfect."

"I told you. It's a lot nicer than Baker's beach. Although I still wish we could have gone to a nudist beach."

Oh look, a little bird just flew onto our hood and started singing songs while bunnies and deer jumped out of nowhere.

Just kidding, but that's actually how close to perfection this beach was. It only needed small woodland creatures to make this a dream come true.

“Check out those waves! Maybe we should try surfing today!” Darren yelled pointing to the ocean.

“Do you know how to surf?”

“Nope! I’ll learn though!”

“I don’t know how to surf either.” I admitted.

“We’ll just learn together. We can make a surf board with some drift wood and tie it all together with seaweed. Then we can surf on them and …eat doughnuts and meet Ariel and Sebastian and Flounder-”

“And have a seafood buffet?” I snickered.

“NO. How dare you! Mermaids are strictly off limits. That’s like cannibalism!” He gasped, slightly aghast at the idea.

“Are you saying you’re a merman Darren?” I teased, pretending to flip my hands in a tail like manner.

“I do believe I was a dolphin in the past life.” He offered, moving his feet in the same way.

“I thought I was an apple in the past life… a long time ago when they were my favorite fruits. Now I wish I was an adorable panda or a red panda!”

He laughed showing his pearly teeth. “Why?”

“Because I don’t know many pandas that are hunted for meat or fur…”

“Ah, I see what you mean. I always try to be positive and think that my former aquatic self lived well and ate good food. That he or she died of old age with many grandchildren or was an all mighty warrior that fought sharks.” He said, a smile still placed on his face. He looked serious about the whole thing too.

“So you have little grandchildren dolphins in the ocean now?” I asked, mildly curious and entertained at the idea.

Darren winked, clicking his tongue. “I was a stud in the ocean.”

Suddenly there was a short burst of honking and we looked simultaneously to the incoming car. All the windows were rolled down and the music was blasting from every inch of the car.

“Hey you guys got here before we did!" Jaime yelled from the front seat.

"Hope you put on your fun pants because I brought the Frisbee ball bat!” Joey yelled from the drivers seat. He drove into the slot right next to our car.

Then Joe and Brian stuck a weird looking tennis stick with a net and waved it around through the window. Darren clasped his hands excitedly, whooping after him. Everyone got out the car, flooding out with towels, snacks, and baskets.

“What the hell is that?” I questioned, picking up one of their lacrosse sticks.

“It’s a stupid game they play.” Bonnie explained, holding a box of snacks. "Hey can you help me carry this-"
