OMFG!!! I clicked publish on Wednesday I swear on my cookies!! I have no Idea why it didn't! Please forgive me!! I'm Sorry!!!! It's not my fault! It's the world's!

      After a few hours of selling whatever food they had made, Rin and Shima being more or less, unsuccessful, their supervisor, the teacher that was their chaperone for this "mission", decided to show his face. Their mission included helping him and his wife run their beach shop, some mission.

Teacher Sideburns finally showed up for the first time all day, dressed from the beach, "Good work boys! I am truly blessed to have such wonderful students under my wing." Shuku deadpanned, he was in Bermuda shorts and a flowered shirt and was waving a fan to cool himself off. "By the way, how's business?" He asked, and the boys stayed silent, then the teacher noticed Shuku selling ice cream.

"Oh, Shuku? I never knew you were a fine young lady. And what are you selling, I do believe you were given a free day?" He asked and Shuku looked over at him, resisting the urge to shoot daggers at him, both rhetorically and literally.

"I was, I'm just low on money at the moment so I'm doing this at the moment to earn some extra cash, would you like to buy some?" Shuku offered, and the teacher looked over at the ice cream.

"Alright," The teacher said hesitantly, "I'll take a medium cup of the orange one." The teacher exchanged money and Shuku handed him a clear cup with The orange ice cream in it. The teacher inspected it, then took a bite.

"Hm, this is really good! I've never had mango ice cream before. I can't really tell you to stop and your products are good, you may continue selling your product." He walked away contently with his cup of ice cream, and Shuku sighed.

Shuku stood at her stand and sold her ice cream, while the boys really didn't sell anything.

"Hey, Shuku?" Rin asked, and she turned her head over to him, her hat tilting. "Yes Rin?"

"If you want, I could take over your stand for a bit while you go swim. I mean, you haven't gone anywhere near the water-" Shuku raised her hand stopping Rin.

"Thanks but no thanks. I'm better off over here than near the water. Plus I need the money so I can continue eating." Shuku said, selling another scoop.

"Why not, you've made enough money for at least another two months?"

"I don't.... swim." Skuku replied reluctantly. Then they saw Izumo being dragged ashore by someone. Shuku quickly packed up her stand, selling one last scoop, then throwing the Ice cream into the cooler and throwing her hoodie on over her swimsuit before running after Shima and Rin, cooler in tow.

"Hey! Are you ok?!" Rin shouted, running over to polka-brow, and the kid that had saved her, he had a bruise on his forehead and chin.

"Hey, hope you know how luck you are? Where the guy who saved you? He leave already?"

After that, Shuku turned around, and noticed a crowd of people running over to an elevated area. Shuku left, more interested in the huge crowd than what happened with Polka-brow, and no one seemed to notice. She picked up the cooler and ran up the the cliff that started to where the town was, then over to wear all the people were. Shuku froze, ohhhh SHIT. A fair portion of the sea was black, and her first thought was 'demon'. After a few minutes, the others joined her. Almost as shocked as her.

"Hey! What is that?" Rin asked, staring at the portion of the black ocean.

"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Shima added. And Shuku nodded.
