I had decided to watch them practicing today. Only because they promised to take me to the beach at 5. It is five and, as promised, we are stepping onto the beach. I pick up my flip flops and put my feet into the warm sand, letting the sand snake between my toes. I tie my hair into a pony tail and walk into the centre of the quiet beach. I chose the perfect place to lay my towel down, and do exactly that. Everyone else follows me and copies, placing towels in a circle, facing the middle where we put our bags.

"Omg. Ive never been to a beach, just seen it on tv." I squeal.

"Are you kidding me?" Gerard asks.

"Crazily enough, no."

I strip down into my bikini extremely fast and start walking towards the sea.

"Hurry up, slow coaches." I yell at them.

"Chill." Pete says, lifting his top over his head.

Pete walks down with me to the sea and I stand at the end, my toes touching the water.

"Its colder than I thought it would be." I say quietly.

Pete just watches me, in my element. I adjust my black high wasted bikini bottoms and top before stepping closer to the water. I squeal as Gerard almost tackles me, body slamming into my back.

"What?" I ask, turning around.

He shrugs, walking into the water. I follow, Pete behind me. The water is cold, not the bathwater warm I was expecting. Eventually we are up to our shoulders and paddling.

"This is mad." I say quietly.

"How come?" Pete replies.

"It goes of for, like, ever..."

"Well no." Gerard tries to input.

I see Joe, Andy, Mikey and Frank run towards us and I wave. (a/n PUNZ R FUNZ)

"This is madness." I shout.

"Its the sea?" Joe says.

"She is new to this stuff." Pete clarifies.

We all play games like jumping over the waves and stuck in the mud/sand for a while until we become tired. We all agree to sit out and sunbathe for a while. I lie down on my towel, lightly covered in sun cream, ready to get a tan. I close my eyes and feel the sun beat down on me.

"Thank goodness its not mid day, when the sun is at its harshest." Patrick says.

"We would have to deal with burns." Andy says, "Some may need to anyway."

"Hey guys! We decided to drop in and join you?" A familiar voice rings out and I open my eyes.

Fae, Indie and Rhett look at us.

"Ill join anyway."

She quickly strips down into her bikini. I feel a pang of jealousy. She is tall, beautiful, and has amazing curves. I sit up and look over at Casey and Patrick. Patrick is leaning towards Casey slightly, watching Fae, Indie and Rhett change and sit down with us. Patrick stayed in his teeshirt, I guess he is self concious. Casey braved her bikini and her hair is tied loosly in a pony tail. You can see the heart scar on her stomach.

I lie on my front and dig my hands into the sand. Its so soft yet grainy.

"You have a concert in an hour or two. We need to leave in half an hour." Indie says.

"Fine." Pete says, turning over onto his back.

I lie in the baking sun for what seems like only a moment, but, before I know it, Indie tells us that we need to go. I sit up, slipping on my shorts and crop top. Casey is dressed and sitting on the sand, reading a book.
