Chapter 35: Is this the beach episode!?

“This one feels like he is about to explode, so I declare.”

“You know what Saunderson… I feel your pain.”

“That’s what you two get for trying to eat that much food!” Claire triumphantly laughs as she finishes eating some ice cream from the desert table.

Saunderson and I had decided to try and go for the free meal in order to cut down on the food costs for the day… but we were currently sitting with our heads leaned back holding our stomachs. We had finished four and a half plates of food so far, with very little still left on our final plates.

“We’ve got this Saunderson!” I shout in order to raise our motivation.

However, looking around the room we notice that a lot of people have stopped eating and had ran to the bathrooms as fast as they possibly could. Most of them had gone to vomit, or in the worst case, those chose high fibre foods and were regretting life while sitting on a porcelain throne.

“This on shall be taking his leave, so I declare!” Saunderson quickly stands up while covering his mouth with his right hand. He stumbles a few times before he makes it into the bathroom that had many unnerving noises coming from within.

I look down at my plate of food. I was not smart with my choices for eating lots of food. I had several breads that looked delicious and various types of eggs done many ways. Breakfast burritos and hash browns. Mind you, it was all incredibly delicious and I think I would pick the same things again.

However, there was not a single light food in the selection for foods. I still kind of find it funny that they have a dessert section during breakfast.

Many flavours of ice cream from standard vanilla all the way to pineapple medley. What was the medley part? No idea, but I don’t really think I should be worrying about food not in front of me.

“So, Logan. Do you really think you can finish all this?” Claire pokes at the food on my plate.

“I don’t… see why I can’t?” I pause slightly trying to supress the urge to give my food back to the plate. “It’s just another burrito what’s the worst that could happen?”

……

…

“I REGRET EVERYTHING!”

I shout into the sky as I lay down on the seat in the bus. Claire had graciously allowed me to lay my head on her lap, so I had gratefully taken the opportunity to lay there.

Was she wearing more perfume than normal? It doesn’t bother me too much, as it has a nice smell, but it seems odd that she’d put more on than normal.

Claire had started to pet my head while looking out the window at the beautiful scenery passing by. Well, it’s what I’m thinking she is doing. I can only look out the window on the other side of the bus to look at the blue sky that has white fluffy clouds floating peacefully.

After a while I slowly sit up and look out the window with Claire.

We were actually driving near the top of a mountain ridge and the window showed the beautiful clear ocean water. The ocean was reflecting the sun that had just risen above the horizon a few hours ago.

The plants were swaying in the gentle breeze. Birds flying from tree to tree to escape the moving vehicles on the road nearby.

The white sandy beaches were crowded with people that were sunbathing, hiding beneath the varying palm trees scattered throughout the beach, and people in the water running around and swimming to their heart’s content.

The blue sky had small white and fluffy clouds scattered throughout making it so that it was the perfect day.

“It really is beautiful isn’t it, Logan.” Claire smiles at me as she notices me staring out the window.

I smile towards Claire and look in to her light blue eyes, and say with a smile.

“Nowhere near as beautiful as you are.” Claire smiles happily as a whip is heard cracking in the background.

“You maggots heard my warning! Now it’s punishment time!” Ms. Mason shouts to the bus as she stands up and starts taking out her frustration on everyone but myself and Claire.

The entire bus has started glaring at myself and Claire as we slowly travel towards our destination on the coast.

……

…

“I missed you fresh air!”

“Freedom!”

“I kind of enjoyed that…”

“NO! Don’t be like this! It was bad! Not enjoyable!”

The students were quickly getting off the bus afraid that Ms. Mason would start hitting them with the whip. The scariest part was that the way Ms. Mason was whipping them left not a single mark, and some of the students had come to enjoy it.

Scary. I don’t think I could ever enjoy something like that… well… I hope not anyways.

“I’m going to go get changed now Logan! I’ll see you in a bit, ‘kay?” Claire happily runs off to one of the change rooms on the beach. The white sandy beach was deserted, for now.

The school had apparently reserved the entire section of this beach for the students. To be fair, there were hundreds, if not thousands, of students that went to the school, so there isn’t much that can be done.

Armed guards were stationed along the entire perimeter of the beach, giving an ominous feel to the beach… but the others were just ignoring the guards as if there were meant to be there the entire time. I don’t know if I will ever get used to guards holding M4 assault rifles across their chests. Even if they aren’t aimed at me, I still get nervous when I see them, it reminds me of worse times.

I walk to the change rooms that was designated for the male students and changed in to my swimming trunks. Well... I'll keep my shirt on for now. It’s a good thing I wore a white undershirt.

My arm is no longer being supported by a sling, but the cast does get in the way.

I walk out of the change room with my bag on my shoulder. No way in hell do I trust my things in those lockers, even if they do have locks on them.

I look around for Claire, but don’t see her yet… oh yeah, it takes her forever to change in to anything. I honestly don’t understand why it takes so long for women to change. Well… maybe it’s the bra? I don’t know, and I’m not really too bothered by it.

After a short while, there is a commotion outside the female designated change room. A large crowd of male and female students have started to gather. As I walk closer I can start to hear what the group of people are saying.

“Our idol is still as amazing as ever!”

“I can’t believe she chose to wear something like this! It’s like she was catering to my preferences!”

“Yeah! No wait! She did it for me!”

“Shut up you idiots! She’s already married!”

“That won’t stop me!”

“Logan’s injured but I bet he can still beat the shit out of us!”

Why on earth would I do that? Well… if they got too close to Claire or scared her I might just have to. I walk up to the guys who were just talking and put a friendly smile on my face. I tap his shoulder with my left hand.

“Excuse me. Could I ask if you have anything you want to say to me again?”

“Run away!”

“Tactical retreat!”

“I didn’t do anything!”

Every male in the group runs off in a random direction, hoping that even if I did chase them down, I wouldn’t be able to get all of them. However, I don’t chase any of them and weave my way through the remaining girls towards Claire with a smile on my face.

“You look as beautiful as ever, Claire.” I say that as Claire comes in to my view.

Claire was wearing the same white frilly bikini that she had tried on at the store. Her slightly pale skin was incredibly beautiful as her blonde hair gently floated in the breeze coming off of the water.

“Thank you, Logan.” Claire smiles as she walks over to me. She hugs my left arm putting it between her breasts, “Why are you still wearing a shirt? Isn’t it nice to show off sometimes?”

“Hey.” I try to shake Claire off my arm, “Not all of us are perfect you know.”

“Well, you can’t deny you are becoming more fit and believe it or not,” Claire pokes at my stomach, “You do have some nice abs.”

“Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say. But I also don’t want a sunburn from staying in the sun for too long. Sunblock or not, there’s still a risk.” I shrug my shoulders as Claire pouts. She starts to hold on to my arm tighter as I shake her.

We put our stuff with Saunderson and Amy as they sit in the sun. I’ll thank them later.

“Just come play with me in the water for a bit!” Claire starts to dig her feet in to the sand and drag me towards the water.

“Hey, this cast will only stop regular water, not salt water!” I try to dissuade Claire by waving my cast around slightly.

“Who cares, we can just replace it later. Just relax and have some fun!”

“It isn’t safe, I can’t swim with only one arm.”

“I’ll embarrass you here if you don’t!” Claire starts to reach towards my leg.

“Woah there. We haven’t really gone all that far and you’d still be willing to do things in front of everyone? Well… be my guest, I’m not ashamed of what I have.” I smile at Claire as I say this.

Claire face goes bright red as I talk about this. She really is shy… or have I gone too far with this joke?

“Um… Logan… not here…” Claire looks around at everyone who had stopped to look at us. I hug Claire using my good arm and pat her head.

“I’m sorry, Claire. I went a little too far. To make it up to you I will play in the water for a bit. But don’t expect me to be able to do too much. I do only have use of one arm.” Claire instantly returns to normal.

“Yay! Let’s go play!” Claire drags me towards the water in high spirits. This was her plan all along! I see. I may have to try harder next time! However, she is actually embarrassed. Her face is still slightly red.

I run back to Saunderson and Amy, remove my shirt and run back to Claire who was waiting in front of the clear blue ocean.

Claire drags me until we reach the water where she finally lets go of me after seeing that I had not tried to run away. Claire smiles at me without saying anything and starts to walk in to the ocean water. I just shrug my shoulders and hold her hand as we walk in to the water.

“Wow. It’s so warm.” I look at the crystal clear water and smile. The warm water of the ocean really is relaxing.

Claire and I continue to walk until we are waist deep in the water. We are still able to see the bottom except for where we are walking as we were kicking up sand underneath the water.

Suddenly this strange urge comes over me and I gently push Claire.

She stumbles and falls backwards into the water with her arms in the air, making a large splash. I could tell she jumped slightly in order to create a larger splash. I cover my face to stop the splash from getting in my eyes.

I failed to block it completely so I had to wipe my eyes off. After doing so I look around but don’t see Claire…

I feel a hand on each of my ankles pull and I lose my balance falling into the water face first. She got me! I quickly stand up and smile.

“Ah, you got me. I wasn’t expecting you to stay under.”

“You underestimate me!” Claire cheers slightly as we continue to poke at each other in the water.

Claire and I had a competition where we would see who could stay under the water the longest. I actually managed to lose. I think she cheated somehow. I had my eyes open underwater and saw that she didn’t cheat… but it makes me feel better when I call her a cheater.

Claire and I had started walking back to shore as we were tired and wanted a small break. We went towards Saunderson and Amy who had their assigned staff set up some umbrellas and blankets on the sand.

“This one is wondering how the water is, so I inquire.” Saunderson stands up and looks out to the ocean.

“Ah, it’s pretty warm.” I pat Saunderson’s shoulder with my left hand and I start to whisper in his ear, “Saunderson, why don’t you get Amy to take off that sweater thing and go to the water and fool around. I’ll watch your stuff for you since you did the same for me.” Saunderson nods with determination, but I continue, “Anyways, why is she wearing a sweater it is so fucking hot that just standing here talking to you for a couple seconds in the sun makes me feel like I’m on fire.”

“This one has already asked. She said that it was too embarrassing to show everyone the swimsuit that she had prepared, so I declare.” Saunderson just sighs.

“Well,” I shrug my shoulders, “just try and convince her. If it doesn’t work it doesn’t work, but if it does, you get to see your girlfriend in a swimsuit. All or nothing my friend. All or nothing.”

“This one thinks he understands, so I declare.” Saunderson walks back to the two girls who had started talking. He walks up and talks to Amy, “This one may be as bold to suggest that Amy come to join this one in the water, so I declare.”

Amy smiles slightly and nods.

“Yeah, sure.”

“This one suggests you do not wear the sweater, as it is too hot and it will stick to you making you overheat which may be potentially dangerous to your health, so I declare.”

“Um…” Amy looks to Claire and Claire looks away. Amy then looks to me but I just shrug my shoulders and she drops her head, “Fine… but don’t laugh… okay?” Amy starts to take off the sweater and slightly blushes.

No one says anything as Amy finally takes off the sweater. Even though I have a wife… I can’t help but stare.

Her chest is slightly smaller than Claire’s, but she is wearing a red bikini that really shows a lot more than Claire’s. Small triangles. That’s really the only way I am capable of describing this… well. It isn’t like those super tiny things that even one wrong movement would make them uncover everything, it does cover quite a bit… just… less in comparison to others.

“Well? It’s weird right?” Amy looks at Saunderson, awaiting his judgment. Saunderson nervously smiles.

“This one is stunned at the beauty that he has been shown, so I declare.” Saunderson looks at Amy from head to toe many times before he finally stops.

“Th-thanks… le-let… let’s go then…” Amy and Saunderson walk towards the water nervously as the students stare at them with hatred…

If they are really upset about there being another couple, why don’t they just get a significant other for themselves, it isn’t like they don’t have many people to choose from.

“It’s because of familial differences and marriages between the rich are usually to gain money or political power.” Claire looks on to the crowd of people after looking at me. She really can tell what I am think all the time, can’t she.

“It’s cause you’re like an open book, Logan.”

“Oh… I see…” I look at the ground faking being sad to try and fool Claire. She walks over and pats my head before laying on the blanket underneath an umbrella.

“Instead of faking sadness why don’t you come sit with me? It’s relaxing down here, and in the shade it is really cool.” Claire lays on her back and smiles at me.

“I guess I can take you up on that offer.” I lay down beside Claire so that my face is level with hers. “So Claire, I am still so full from breakfast. I don’t know if I’ll even be able to eat during dinner.”

“Ha, that’s what you get. But you did get the meal for free, cutting our cost in half for breakfast. What do you want to do next, Logan?” Claire smiles and inches closer to me on the ground.

“Well first things first.” I lean in and give her a quick kiss. “I think I will kiss you for now.”

“I like the way you think.” She smiles and we kiss again.

After kissing for a while, everyone had stopped caring what Claire and I were doing and had gone on with their lives. I slowly sit up after Claire and I stop kissing.

“Ah, my throat is dry. I need something to drink. I think I’ll go to one of the nearby stalls that are full of students, want to come with me?” I ask Claire who was laying on the ground.

“Nah. I’ll stay here with our stuff.” Claire lazily rolls on to her side to look at me.

“Okay then, what would you like?”

“You!” Claire tries to grab for my ankles, but I jump out of the way. “Ah, missed this time, but I won’t next time!”

“Yeah, yeah. What would you actually like to drink?” I smile as Claire rolls back to where she was.

“I’ll just share with you, Logan, so pick something good! ‘Kay?” Claire smiles as she reaches into her bag and pulls out sunglasses to put on her eyes and a small amount of cash.

“Okay my princess, your humble servant shall do as you wish now!” I playfully laugh as I start to walk away.

“Have a safe trip Mr. Servant!” Claire laughs along with me as I walk towards the drink stand. I really wonder what kind of drink Claire would like, but I’ll have to get something larger because Claire and I are going to share.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

I walk towards the drink stand and wait in line while listening to the people in front of me.

“Damn, it really is hot here.”

“You’ve got that right. I just wish my father would let me get a girlfriend by myself already. He says, ‘Oh sonny, you’re too young to know what love really is’. Cut the crap! I just want to see what it’s like!”

“Yeah! My old man said the same thing ya know! We are kids, we should learn things by ourselves! Not have the protection of our old men twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week!”

“Um… If I may say anything here,” I jump in to their small circle in the line, “Why don’t you just find a girlfriend and bring her in front of your parents and prove to them that you are old enough to do things for yourself. Maybe taking action will prove that to him.”

“Aren’t you the guy that’s married to the school idol, Logan?” One of the guys immediately recognizes me.

“Ah, yes. That would be me.” I smile weakly as they start to give me thumbs up.

“Man, you must have balls of steel if you could take on a man with a knife using only your bare hands.”

“Yeah, seriously dude. I would have shit myself on the way there.”

All of us laugh as the line slowly moves forwards. There were still a large amount of people in front of us, so I had a fair bit of time to talk to these guys.

“It wasn’t much. I’ve been through more stressful situations. Standing in front of Claire’s father before I knew he’d approve of me, I swear my heart was about to explode from how nervous I was!” They all laugh.

“Man, if only that was all that would have happened to me!”

The group of guys and I were laughing heavily. Many people in line had laughed along with us during the conversation and some of the girls had started to join the group, whether it was to cut in line, or to talk to these guys, the guys didn’t seem to care.

“Seriously, if Logan can stand before a guy using a knife without any sort of weapon, I would be ashamed if we couldn’t even talk to our own fathers with a girl standing beside us as our girlfriend!” The guys start to laugh as some of the girls start to move closer.

I doubt it would normally be this easy, but hey, sheltered women. They are curious too.

“Um… I wouldn’t mi-mind being your girlfriend… j-just to try it out… you know?” One of the girls comes up to the guy that motivated everyone. She was fairly good looking and was wearing a bikini similar to Claire’s, but it was blue to match her eyes. Her hair was dyed pink, but her eyebrows were a thin brown, so I am guessing that that is her original hair colour.

“We-well… um…” The guy starts to hesitate, realizing he has had almost zero contact with women more than just basic conversation. I shake my head and whisper in his ear in front of everyone.

“Just tell her this: I am very happy that you want to go out with me, but why don’t we just spend time as friends to see if we actually like each other first. Now go.” I nod my head as he looks to me with thanks.

“I am glad that you would be so kind as to offer to be my girlfriend. However, may I be bold as to suggest that we hang out as friends for a while to see if we like each other? I think this way, we can avoid any issues that may occur if we just start dating from our first meeting.” The guy goes into a formal tone and completely revamps what I told him to say.

“I think that is indeed a good idea.” The girl also changes to a more formal tone… are these people only good when it seems like a business meeting? “I shall accompany you for the rest of this trip then as I have remembered that we are on the same bus.”

“Thank you for your acceptance.”

“No, thank you.”

Um… I guess I got them together… maybe?

It’s hard to tell what’s going on… maybe I should consult Claire after this.

After all the other guys in the group made their mock confessions to a random female that had approached, we finally made it to the front of the line.

“How may I help you, sir?” The person standing behind the counter asks me with a smile on his face.

“Ah, I would like a large lemonade please.” I put the money on the counter and the man offers me another smile.

“That will be 7.99, if that is okay with you.”

AH! So expensive! That’s what I get for wanting something at a beachfront stall.

“Yeah, that’s okay.” I keep a smile on my face despite the pained expression.

“Okay, it will be ready in just a moment.” The man gives me my change and yelled my order to the people in the back of the stall trying to figure out up from down. May they have a calm evening, I feel kind of sorry for them.

“Thanks for your time.” I grab the drink and look at the group of now guys and girls. What on earth have I done?

“Hey, Logan. Thanks for this man. I definitely owe you one!” The one guy waves at me as he notices me leave.

“Don’t worry about it! I didn’t even do much! Have a nice trip! Until we meet again!”

“Later!”

“See ya dude!”

“Audios amigos!”

The group starts to laugh as I shake my head with a smile on my face. Seriously, those people. I’m glad that everyone is starting to get along with me though. With all the crazy experiences from stupid people I’ve had, I was starting to worry if everyone was going to be like that.

As I make my way back to where Claire was sitting I noticed someone who I hadn’t seen in a while sitting with Claire. Claire had an annoyed expression on her face while ignoring the other person who was patiently sitting on her legs beside Claire.

“Ah, I’m back Claire. I just happened to get lemonade as it was the only thing that really sounded good to me.” Claire notices me come back and sits up ignoring the girl behind her.

“Let me have a sip!” Claire practically lunges at me to get a sip from it. Of course, I had already had some. I was thirsty. Can you blame me?

Claire drinks a ton of the lemonade and scrunches up her face.

“Sour!” Claire stops drinking and starts to shake her head. Yeah. It was incredibly sour. It seems they actually made it with real lemons, and lots of them. I think it may not be worth the price, but it’s pretty close.

“Yeah, it’s really good isn’t it?” I smile as Claire takes another sip. This time she didn’t drink as much. I look to the ground and realize she made a cup holder out of sand while waiting for me. She also made a small sand castle thing.

It was interesting because the sand didn’t really stick together, so it looked like pyramid with random lumps all over. Well, it’s the thought that counts, right?

“So… how are you doing Sarah?” I look towards Sarah who was still patiently waiting for her turn to speak.

“I’m doing great. Thanks for asking.” She smiles as she looks at me. I really don’t understand her.

“Okay. So why are you here? If it isn’t anything important, I wouldn’t mind if you just left now.” I look at her with an expression that was half smiling, half hatred.

“I am here to offer a suggestion. I was thinking about how I have been acting and I have decided to completely give up my rights and offer to become your servant.”

“Denied.” I instantly deny her. “Well, this is for many reasons I am sure you understand, right?”

“May I ask why you made this decision so quickly?”

“Ugh, fine. First of all, you have never been nice to me. Secondly, you have tried to hurt my relationship with Claire several times. Finally you admitted yourself that you were a dishonest person. What reason do I have to trust you? None. Now leave before I get Ms. Mason to take you away.”

“Please!” Sarah begs me while still sitting on her legs, “Please give me a chance to prove myself!”

“No.” I clear my throat by coughing a couple of times and look for Ms. Mason. I see her and start to shout in her direction, “Ms. Mason! Sarah here is trying to get me a harem and was wondering if she could consult you on a few things!” I smile to Sarah who had gone pale. “I’m not really sorry for all this. I am tired of people trying to scheme against me idiotically. You should know that I do not handle things normally by now.”

“You filthy maggot! Come with me!” Ms. Mason arrives and grabs Sarah’s arm, dragging her to a corner with less people around… wait… isn’t that a bit too harsh?

“So… Logan… did you think she was being honest this time?” Claire looks at Sarah as she is literally dragged off.

“I have no idea. However, it is possible that she would have waited a long time to get between us. Something I heard once a long time ago was that a person who holds a true grudge will wait a lifetime for revenge.” Claire nods as we solemnly sit back on to the ground.

“What do you think we should do now?” Claire looks at me with a slight smile.

“I don’t know, oh wait. Amy and Saunderson are coming back. Maybe I should have grabbed something for them too while I was at the drink stall. The line is incredibly long now…” I sigh as the two make it back.

“This one greets Claire and Logan. This one is happy to see that you two are still in this location, so I declare.” Saunderson smiles as he grabs a towel to dry himself off. I never really noticed this… but isn’t Saunderson super buff?

I mean he has super defined abs and chest muscles. I’m a guy and I can’t help but stare.  I can safely say that I am nowhere near Saunderson’s level; of muscle, but I do have some slight definition on my abs and chest. It’s not what it used to be when I was country hopping, but hey, I won’t need that kind of muscle again for a while… will I?

“Did you have fun? Especially you, Amy. After you got over the embarrassment you had fun swimming around with Saunderson right?” Claire pokes at Amy who sat beside her.

“Um… yeah, I did have a lot of fun. Thank you for staying with me Saunderson.” Amy slightly bows to Saunderson after she finishes thanking him.

“This one would instead like to that Amy for the wonderful time, so I declare.” Saunderson and Amy smile at each other without saying anything.

“Hey.” I speak up and get their attention, “You two should kiss.”

They both go bright red and slightly inch away from each other. Claire falls over on to the beach blanket and starts to laugh while holding her sides. I shrug my shoulders and smile a mischievous smile.

“Logan, should we show ‘em how it’s done?” Claire jokingly motions towards me.

“Of course, can’t talk the talk if you don’t walk the walk.” I walk over to Claire and kiss her, not quickly mind you. I intentionally used my tongue… but now that I think about it, how could you accidently use your tongue… oh well. I might just be thinking too much again.

Amy and Saunderson look at Claire and I after we finish kissing. I shrug my shoulders and hold my hands out to the sides.

“See. It really isn’t that hard. Just go for it. What is there to lose?” I look at them as they look at each other.

“Come on Amy. You’ve done it once, why can’t you do it again?” Claire tries a different approach to get them to kiss.

Actually. Why am I trying to get them to kiss? It really hasn’t been that long since they started dating. If we push them too far they might end up separating.

“It was just a quick kiss before! It wasn’t anything like that! That’s just too embarrassing!”

Saunderson looks like he has had enough of the pure act and kisses Amy anyways. Way to go Saunderson! You go man!

Amy goes red slightly, but she actually gives in! Saunderson 1, Amy 0! TKO!

No, seriously though. Saunderson lost all hesitation… and wait! They went for the full kiss. Amy is bright red as many people had started to cheer after they heard what was going on. There was no danger of Ms. Mason dropping by to stop it as she had dragged Sarah off to some unknown location.

After they had finished kissing Amy went to hide under the blanket.

“So embarrassing!” She was completely underneath the blanket and had curled up in a ball. I feel a little sorry, but it was a good show to watch you know.

“It’s okay Amy. You were faster than Logan and I. We didn’t do that type of kiss for quite a while you know. Maybe. I don’t really remember now that I think about it.” Claire just shrugs her shoulders while patting Amy that had curled into a ball underneath the beach blanket.

“So Saunderson, how are you after that.”

“This one is not too sure what this feeling is, but would not mind experiencing it a couple more times, so I declare.” Saunderson nods with a straight face, somehow managing to keep his cool throughout this crazy time.

“Hey guys. I can see some interesting things happening here.” Dominic comes from nowhere and smiles as he sits down randomly on a blanket putting his bag down beside him.

“Yeah, you just missed Amy and Saunderson embarrassing themselves by making out in front of a cheering crowd. Quite amusing if I do say so myself.” I laugh as Amy curls up in a smaller ball, trying to disappear.

“Well then. It seems you guys left me out again. Good thing the student council doesn’t have to worry about anything this trip, or this wouldn’t have happened.” Dominic shrugs his shoulders not really caring what he would have done either way.

“So Dominic, have you gone to the water yet?” I ask Dominic who had started to lay down.

“Of course I have. I feel like having a nap, so I’ll stay here of you for would like to go to the water again.” Dominic smiles as he places a ball cap over his face.

“Then I’ll take you up on that offer.” I take a sip of the lemonade and pass the rest to Claire. “I’ll go to the water first with Saunderson, feel free to bring Amy along if she ever uncurls.”

Claire laughs as Saunderson runs away at top speed to escape from the embarrassing location. He escapes so quickly that I didn’t even realize he had gone until I turned to look at the sky.

The sun had only gone to the top of the sky, so it must be around noon. I walk towards Saunderson who had run off to the water.

I watch him dive under the water as soon as it was deep enough to safely do so. After he surfaces I walk over to him.

“Why’d you decide to suddenly do that Saunderson, it wasn’t really like you to suddenly force that.” I smile at Saunderson who had shook his hair to stop the water from dripping in to his eyes after he opened them.

“This one does not even understand the reason he did such a thing. This one possibly thinks that his curiosity had won the battle this time, so I declare.” Saunderson smiles weirdly as he says this. He looks up at the sky and sighs heavily.

“Do you regret it? Do you regret kissing her like that in front of a crowd?” I notice Claire and Amy walk over as Saunderson is looking at the sky.

“This one does not regret it at all. This one has realized that he genuinely loves Amy, so I declare.” Saunderson smiles and looks down to Amy… did he know she was there.

“Um…” Amy nervously looks at Saunderson with a slight blush, “I… love you too… Saunderson…”

“Now isn’t that great? We now have two couples that love each other. I think we should have a great dinner tonight!” Claire exclaims this.

Saunderson and I both shudder at the thought of more food. Breakfast still traumatizing us. I am really glad everything is turning out great on this trip so far. I hope the rest of the trip goes as smoothly as this day has gone so far.

“Now then!” Claire walks towards me, “Let the games begin!” She pushes me under the water being careful of my right arm. I quickly pull out Claire’s legs from under her while I was underwater.

I hear a muffles scream as she fell in to the water. I stand up and raise my arms.

“Take that!” After I shout that, I fall in to the water after being push by both Amy and Saunderson.

I will win this battle!

Hello everyone!

Nine hours later, and BAM! Another chapter here to satisfy your cravings.

Six thousand one hundred and six words. What more could you want from life?

Well. There isn't as much filler as I thought there would be. Logan makes new friends that may or may not make appearances later whenever it becomes convenient. 

Oh, and those who are worried about the cross dressing part. Don't. I will make it an amazing event and it will not be temporary humor at the expense of the main character's anything. It might just be only Logan who knows that it was himself cross dressing. Who knows?

Oh. I got Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. I suck at it... a lot... 

To be fair, I've never played that type of strategy game. I also suck at strategy, so I don't know why I was convinced to buy it... Anyways

Have a great day/night!
