I was feeling rather stressed out recently and decided to take some time to relax. Royal and Raven wanted to come as well. "I don't see why not," I said. Vanilla and I hopped in my car (The Camaro.) and Raven hopped in Royal's car with him. We began driving. "Knock on wood we don't hit a deer this time," I said, knocking on my dashboard with a snicker. We got to the hotel without incident and when we walked in the front door one of the maids waved to me. I recognized her and waved back. We checked into the hotel and brought our stuff to our rooms. Royal and Raven's room was right next to ours. Once we brought our stuff to the rooms we relaxed for a while. Since we arrived rather late we went out for some dinner then went to bed. The next morning we woke up and were deciding what to do when I had an idea. "The hotel has a pool, we could go swimming," I said. "Won't your arm be a problem?" Royal asked. "No, they're designed to be waterproof so we can still do things like that," I said. Raven sighed in relief. We walked to a nearby shop that sold swimwear. Royal and I got some plain black swimming trunks. Raven and Vanilla walked out of the changing rooms as well. I noticed Raven was blushing slightly. "How do I look?" Raven asked. She was wearing a one-piece black and crimson swimsuit. "You look great," Royal said. Vanilla was wearing something similar except it was white and light blue. "You look great too Vanilla," I said. We bought the swimwear and Raven and Vanilla put on a t-shirt over theirs for the moment. We headed back to the hotel's pool and found it mostly empty aside from a couple other people. "I just remembered, I haven't tried shapeshifting into aquatic animals, this is going to be fun," I said with a mischievous grin. I took off my t-shirt and set off to the side on one of the chairs they had by the pool. I focused and hopped into the water. I was a shark, not a very big one, but a shark nonetheless, I didn't want to scare them too much. I slowly swam toward the pair. One of them noticed me. I swam closer and they squealed in fear as they hurried to get out of the water. I shapeshifted back to my normal form and pulled myself to a sitting position on the edge of the pool as I laughed at them. "What the hell!" One of them said. "That wasn't funny," The other said. "No it wasn't funny, it was hilarious," I said laughing even harder. "I won't do it again," I said. They hopped back in the water and I swam back over to everyone else. Royal, Raven, and Vanilla were all laughing. Raven and Vanilla took off the t-shirts they had over their swimsuits and hopped in the water as well, followed by Royal. I grabbed a beach ball I had in one of my leather jacket pockets and inflated it. We played a game for a while then hopped out of the pool. We dried off, changed into our regular clothes, and discussed what to do next. We headed down to the nightclub and got a round of drinks. After a couple hours at the bar in the nightclub, we brought Raven and Vanilla back to our hotel rooms and I went outside to have a cigar. I came back to my hotel room and noticed the door was open. I stepped in and saw somebody chatting with Vanilla. I cleared my head and sat down next to Vanilla. The other guy looked around. "Wait, what? Who are you?" He asked. Vanilla rubbed her eyes and looked at me then at the other guy. "Who are you?!" Vanilla asked the guy, slightly alarmed. He noticed Vanilla's wedding ring. "Oh my god I'm so sorry, please don't kill me. I didn't realize she was with someone, I just saw her alone and felt like talking to her for a while," He said. "Relax, I'm not going to kill you, but I'd like an explanation," I said. "I was walking along and the door was open, I noticed her inside and she seemed bored so I came in and sat down to talk with her for a while, I heard her mumbling a name when she saw me but I didn't understand what name she had said, I chatted with her for a while, then you walked in, I promise I didn't do anything nefarious to her and I didn't notice her ring," He said. "Okay then, just go on your way and we can forget this happened, we won't tell anyone or thing else, living, dead, inanimate, or otherwise, good?" I said. The guy left and I shut the door behind him and lay down with Vanilla. She slid onto my chest and I gently wrapped my arms around her waist and she placed her hands on top of mine.
