Xing Beach

Maria pulled up to the beach and parked the car. She got up and felt the wind blow through her hair as she looked out to the sand and water. It was quite a beautiful sight. A bag dangled from her hand. It contained a towel and swimsuit.

"Well, we're here guys~"

Alpha stepped out and looked at the ocean. "Its still amazing."

Theta hopped out and was already running to a changing tent. "COME ON! LETS GO!"

Dante stepped out next to Proto. "Never seen the ocean."

"It's still the same," Media muttered, staying by the tree and watching, liking the breeze.

Maria ran beside Theta, and each went into a change room. She came out in a one piece swimsuit that fit her quite well. She twirled in it.

"Its been sooo long since I've been to the ocean~"

Alpha changed into his in another tent, his muscular body showing off. "Likewise."

Theta came out in her new 2 piece bathing suit. "I'm going swimming!" She said running toward the ocean.

Proto changed and ran after her.

Dante stayed dressed and just watched.

Media stayed by the tree watching and making sure she was not to look at Alpha.

Maria ran after Theta, jumping into the water.

"Well, so am I!"

She didn't know why, but she let her ears lose.

Alpha looked at Maria as her ears came out. "So she really is a rabbit." He said staring.

"I love swimming." Theta said splashing Maria.

Proto was already in the water and heading toward a coming wave.

Dante stayed back and walked over to Media. "You want to talk now?"

"So do I~" Maria replied, splashing Theta back. "I bet I can swim better then you~"

Media was startled from her trance, blinking and looked at Kotaro. "Oh, hm?" she flipped her hair. "Yes, sure. Talk about what again? Sorry."

Theta pouted. "Nu uh! I'm a better swimmer!"

"You tried to hide it at the store, but you were sad from feeling lonely." He said.

"Are not!~ Everyone knows that cats are terrible swimmers! Well.... so are rabbits... so we'll settle this with a contest!~"

Media looked at him funny. "No way! Me? Lonely? Sad, ha," she shook her head. "Don't make me laugh," she looked forward, keeping a straight face. "I don't feel those."

"I CAN TOO SWIM! I'll show you!" She started swimming farther into the ocean.

Dante shook his head. "I know when your lying Media."

Maria grinned and swam after her, swimming past her. "You call that swimming?"

She shook her head. "What are you now, Kotaro? A psychiatrist?" she kicked the sand. "Is there any reason you wanted to talk to me other than that?"

Theta suddenly passed Maria. "I'm only getting warmed up!"

"I wanted to know why you aren't going out to swim, even Alpha's getting ready." He said.

Maria laughed and past her, even faster then before. "Impressive! But not good enough!~"

"That's Alpha," she said, her gaze hardening. "Not me. And why don't you? I mean, even if you can't swim. You can like, stay at the shallow waters, you know."

Theta was now going the same speed as Maria. "I'm not even half way ready!"

Dante sighed. "To tell the truth, I can swim, I just don't like my scar showing."

Maria dived underwater and swam even faster, pulling away from Theta.

"Sheesh," Media smirked. "Shy? Want me to help you with that? Knowing now that you CAN swim, I won't feel guilty throwing you in the water," she laughed.

"Hey!" Theta dove underwater and sped past Maria, using her tail as an engine.

"Try it, and you just might find yourself bald one day." He sighed. "The scar runs from my upper right shoulder to my lower left hip and is e inches wide all the way down. No one knows about it and how I got it."

Maria smiled and surfaced, seeing Theta speeding away.

"Wear the one piece overall swimsuit then," she said. "It covers those parts of the body," she nodded, holding on to her hair. "And not the hair. I love my hair. It's my pride."
