"It's not?" Taylor asked, looking around. "Gee looks crowded to me."
"That's because we're here. Duh."
"Oh, yeah. Fancy that."
Drew rolled her eyes.
"Last one in is a rotten egg!" Jim declared, cannonballing into the pool.
Naturally, they all jumped in after. Mason was declared the rotten egg.
"PU!" Zac joked, swimming by him.
Mason simply replied by shooting water at him.
"Ooh, you're going down!" Zac exclaimed, a gleeful grin on his face.
For future reference, it probably isn't a good idea to start a water fight with someone who has an affinity with the stuff. Even if he was only using it subtly in certain company. And of course, affinity or no affinity, everyone joined in.
"Hey guys! Guess what!" Jo exclaimed. "There a beach nearby -"
"No kidding." Taylor replied.
"And we can rent surf boards. We can even have a barbie."
"And you know this how?" Jim asked.
"Duh, just spoke with a cute waiter." Jo replied.
"You surf?" Zac asked.
"Heck yeah dude. We have some pretty rocking beaches."
"Oh, well, I know that - forget it."
"So is it official?" Walker asked. "Are we going down to the beach?"
"Yes!" everyone answered.

"You have to admit, this is pretty cool." Mason said.
"Yeah, how did we both manage to have a whole day off at the same time?" Isaac agreed.
"Ok, steaks and sausages on the way. I hope someone remembered to put onions on the list." Jim commented.
"You're really getting into this huh?" Taylor commented.
"I love a good barbie."
"Stuff the barbie, I'm hitting the waves!" Zac declared.
"Race ya!" Jo grinned.
