Fun at the Beach

Aeris is having a crisis deciding what swimsuit she should wear to the beach. She was just looking over the choices that she placed onto her bed: a blue one-piece, a sakura red two piece (don't ask, fashion is not my thing), a bright yellow three piece, and a green two piece. Right now she is dangerously close to pulling her hair out by the roots.

"Go for the red one." Aeris turned around to see Alexis in a sky blue two piece swimsuit, "I'm pretty sure that would be enough to invoke a response out of him." She said, causing the poor girl to blush all over.

"Thank you." Aeris said, "Now would you please wait outside, I'm still not used to people seeing . . ." She was having trouble getting the rest of the words out.

Alexis knew what she was trying to say and stepped out to give the girl her privacy, "Let me know when you're ready and we can head down towards the beach together." She said, before closing the door behind her.

Over at the Slifer dorm, Chumley was getting ready for a day at the beach when he noticed Syrus sitting on Jaden's bunk, looking depressed. Chumley knew what his young friend was feeling because he felt the same way. "Hey, Sy, what's the matter?" They looked to see Jaden standing in front of them, and he was still wearing red.

"Jaden, you're staying?" Syrus said with excitement.

"Yeah, Ra might be great, but I like Slifer better, you know the color reminds me of fire." Jaden said, with a hand behind his head. He felt something grab him around the waist, and he looked down to see Syrus hugging him like crazy, crying onto his jacket, "Hey Sy, everything is going to be okay." He said, after about thirty seconds, "Okay Sy, you can let go now. Sy?" When he could see that he was going to be stuck there for a while, "Good thing it's hard to see stains when it comes to red." He said, while scratching the back of his head.

"What about Will, is he going to take the promotion?" Chumley asked.

This got Syrus's attention, "Oh yeah, he went to his room, to start packing. We both agreed that it would best if only one of us accepted the promotion."" Jaden said.

"Why would you agree to that?" Syrus asked.

"Because I knew Jaden would never leave his friends no matter what." Will said to them, just as he walked in to the room with his two bags, the only thing different about him is the yellow jacket he is wearing.

"Wow Will, you pack fast." Jaden said.

"I don't have much to begin with. The only new things I've been buying are card packs and the only other things that I have are just mainly clothing and the bare essentials." Will said, "Anyway, I'll go on ahead and drop these off at the dorms and I'll meet you and the rest of the gang down at the beach."

"Yeah, who knows, maybe we might meet each other along the way." Syrus said, while heading towards his locker.

"Yeah, maybe." Will said before heading out, "By the way Sy, try not to faint when you get to the beach."

"What did he mean by that?" Syrus said, while getting out his swim trunks and a towel from his locker.

"I don't know, maybe it has to do with . . ." Jaden started saying before Chumley clamped a hand onto his mouth.

Bastion is waiting in the lobby of the Ra dorms for his new dorm mates. Out of all the people on this island, Will is probably the only one who doesn't treat him like he's invisible. He looked up just as he saw Will walking in through the door. "Is Jaden coming?" Bastion asked.

Will shook his head, "No, he doesn't want to leave his friends behind." He explained, "Plus since we're both at the top of Crowler's personal vendetta list, I thought it would be safer if one of us stayed behind to protect the dorms from him and those like him."

"Probably a wise idea considering that Crowler has a problem whenever somebody he expects to beat ends up beating him instead." Both turned to see somebody who looked like a Japanese mobster, "Welcome to Ra Yellow, Mister Rawelk, I am Sartyr, the head of this dorm." Sartyr introduced himself, "You're room is to the right of Bastion's, so he'll show you where it is "

"Come on Bastion, the sooner I put these into my new room, the sooner we can hit the beach." Will said, while hoisting a bag over his shoulder.

About twenty minutes later, on the beach, Alexis, Aeris, Jasmine and Mindy are sitting on the sand, enjoying the sun. Jasmine and Mindy were busy checking out all the boys on the beach, while Aeris was getting a little anxious. "Calm down Aeris, Will well be here, so just relax and enjoy yourself." Alexis said, while getting a tan.

"I'll try." Aeris said, while deciding to follow the blonde's example.

It was barely a minute when a voice rang out "Hey, isn't that the girl that was carried off the arena by that Slifer." The girls turned to see four Obelisks laughing their heads off.

"You mean the one who past her exam and almost fainted, yeah that's her." One of them yelled out.

"Don't let them get to you." Alexis said, "By the way, how many of you were able to beat, or as much as damage his life points?" When she only received silence as an answer, "I thought so."

The guys that the girls were waiting for showed up about five minutes later. They were doing well until two of them had to go back for the third person behind them, "Hey ladies, how's it going?" Jaden yelled out, alerting everybody on the beach of their arrival.

Alexis and Aeris looked up to see Jaden waving while walking alongside Bastion, and Will and Chumley carrying a very petrified Syrus. When they stopped and **\*thud\*** Syrus was unceremoniously dropped onto the ground, who was now fully awake and rubbing his butt. "Hey, was that really necessary?" He asked.

"Well it was either that or toss you into the ocean." Chumley said with a laugh after seeing the look on the small boy's face.

Will on the other hand is looking at Aeris, who was trying hard to hide a blush on her face. He gave off a whistle to get her attention, and waved his hand in a way to tell her to stand up. When she got onto her feet, he walked around her to get a good look at her. The swimsuit she was wearing is a two piece, but it was still far from being a bikini since it doesn't reveal **too** much of her body.

Aeris is blushing all over when her crush was checking her out. "Do you think I'm beautiful?" She asked, while Jasmine and Mindy are busy drooling after getting a good look at Will's abs.

"What are you kidding?" Will shot back, causing her to look down, ""You look like a goddess in my eyes."

Aeris was giving off a full body blush at the comment. Without even a first thought, she stood up on her toes, placing her hands onto his chest for support and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "Thank you." She said. Before she could take her seat, she felt herself get pulled into a dip, followed by a pair of lips onto hers. When her brain finally registered on who was doing it, her eyes closed and she returned the kiss with the same amount of passion.

Jaden had a curious look on his face while the rest of the guys had theirs jaws crashing into the sand. Alexis is sporting a big smile on her face while the other two girls were glaring holes at Aeris for getting the perfect kiss, judging by the way that one of legs went up into the air and all of her toes were curling to where they might disappear into the feet. When they finally stopped, Will opened his eyes to see something that made him chuckle, "Must of over done it." He said.

"What happened?" Jaden asked, still not sure what is going on.

Alexis got a good look and laughed out loud at this, "I'll say you did considering that she fainted." She said between laughs.

Will gently placed Aeris onto the ground and gave her a couple of light slaps on the cheek in order to get her to regain consciousness. When she shook her head a couple times and opened her eyes, "What happened?" Aeris asked.

"Let's just say one of your dreams just became a reality." Alexis said, causing the redhead to bring back the full body blush.

Aeris looked up to see a smiling Will, "Well, since I know you're going to be okay, if it's not going to bother you too much, I'm going to go ahead and grab a surfboard." He said.

"It won't bother me any." Aeris said with a smile.

Will leaned over and gave a kiss on the cheek, "Well, later for now, and if you want some lessons, you know where to find me." He said, before getting back up onto his feet. When he started walking towards the shop, he smacked Syrus across the head since he is the only one who hasn't recovered from the shock, "Snap out of it, Sy, it's rude to stare."

The next thirty minutes was spent with Aeris getting hounded by the girls about the kiss, and all the stuff girls do, while Jaden, Syrus and Chumley are sharing a bite at the food stand, or at least in Syrus's and Chumley's case, making sure they still can enjoy their food without Jaden helping himself to theirs. Bastion decided to do join Will on the waves, since he already figured out the algorithms to it.

When the girls were done talking, both Jasmine and Mindy got up to go flirt with the guys on their hot list, while the other two were watching the two boys from Ra surfing. Aeris was cheering Will on who was riding through the waves just as they started collapsing, while Alexis is feeling like she is seeing a ghost, 'Atticus!"
