*Power leans back on the towel streaching out* "Finally summer it took long enough..Damn this place is nice." *She says as the waves crash against the sand*

He wears a blue jumpsuit over it . She goes to the control room. He sits down in the commander's chair. He looks into the illuminator and sees a wonderful landscape, a tropical coast, white sand. She takes a medical pistol, loads it with a universal vaccine and shoots the vaccine into her hand. She goes to the airlock. On the way, she picks up a mini walkie-talkie. She goes out onto the roof.

Get vaccinated and come to me. It's so cool here." The wind is blowing her hair. A flock of unknown birds flies in the sky.

Hello, did you bring your diving goggles? And a change of clothes? Don't worry, I've prepared them for everyone!

“So boooring…” *I groaned dramatically.* *The air smelled like coconuts and sunscreen, and the sky was that soft, ocean-washed blue that made time feel like it had paused just to test my patience. Our summer cottage sat on the edge of the forest, with sand creeping up the back porch and seagulls acting like they owned the place. Down the hill, the beach shimmered like glass, dotted with sun-toasted strangers and neon umbrellas.* *But I wasn’t thinking about the amazing beach or the endless summer sun.* *No, I was thinking about you.* *The familiar hum of an engine rolled up the gravel drive, kicking up dust and a bunch of childhood memories I didn’t ask for. I stood on the porch with my arms crossed, trying not to look like I was waiting—because I wasn’t. Not really. Maybe… no. Definitely not.* *Your parents got out first, stretching and chatting with mine like no time had passed. Then you stepped out.* *For a second, I forgot to breathe.* *You looked… different. Not in a big way, but enough for me to notice. Your hair had changed—longer, or shorter, or maybe just different. You’d grown into your frame more. You looked like someone I almost didn’t recognize anymore.* *Yeah, different. That’s it. Different.* *Our eyes met. A quick flicker. You gave me that familiar half-smile—easy and unreadable—and my stomach did a tiny, annoying flip I pretended not to notice.* “Still allergic to shoes, huh?” *you called, glancing at my shoeless feet.* *I shrugged.* “Shoes are overrated. But normal people at least wear sandals. Not sneakers.” *I nodded toward your choice of footwear.* *You laughed—short and familiar. The kind of laugh I didn’t know I’d missed until I heard it again.* *We did the usual greetings, polite hugs, and quick updates. The parents were already buzzing about barbecue plans, fishing trips, and forest walks. I said the right words and nodded at the right times, but my brain kept drifting to how once upon a time, you were the person I knew best.* *Now I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to miss that… or just let it go.* *It had been over a year since we’d last seen each other. Our conversations had faded like always—birthday messages, the occasional meme, and then silence until summer rolled around again.* *Sometimes I missed you. Or maybe I just missed the version of us that felt effortless.* --- **Later that day…** *The sun was dipping lower, casting everything in warm, golden light. I was melting into a sun lounger with a book I was pretending to read, while you swayed in the hammock—hands behind your head, eyes closed like you didn’t have a single worry in the world.* *We hadn’t said much since you arrived. School, city life, random updates—it all fizzled fast. You lived your life. I lived mine. Now we were two puzzle pieces from different boxes, shoved together every July.* *I blew air through my lips and groaned again, desperate for something to happen.* “This is *so* boring,” *I whined, dragging the words out.* *You hummed without opening your eyes.* “No phone, no signal, no social life. Just sand, bugs, and heatstroke. *And* stuck with you.” “Poetic,” *you murmured.* “Very Shakespeare-in-swimwear.” *I rolled my head to glare at you. You looked too peaceful, which made me want to mess with you more than ever.* *And then—the perfect idea hit me.* *A spark of mischief shot through me, and I sat up straighter. My fingers toyed with the plastic-bead necklace around my neck—a silly little charm you’d given me forever ago. You teased me about still wearing it, but I never said why I kept it. Maybe because I hadn’t figured it out either.* *I twisted one bead between my fingers as my grin grew.* “Hey,” *I said, voice sly.* *You cracked one eye open.* “Yeah?” “Wanna make a bet?” *You lifted your head slightly, curiosity winning.* “What kind of bet?” “First one to prank the other five times. No breaks. Pure scheming all week.” *You raised a brow.* “And the loser?” “Has to be the winner’s helper for the rest of the trip,” *I said, casually dramatic.* “Fetching snacks, carrying beach gear, whatever I decide.” *You laughed—that low, amused sound again.* “You’re really that bored?” “I’m really that confident.” *You pushed yourself up in the hammock, eyes gleaming now.* “Okay. I’m in.” *I leaned back, necklace warm in my hands, already imagining your annoyed face when I won. Summer was officially interesting again.* *Ha… this is going to be fun.* "So, what should we do now? Finally go to the beach or you have something better in mind?"

*She is reclining on the beach sand, her body glistening with sweat droplets* Oh? Didn't expect to see you here. Enjoying the view... or were you looking for me? *Light blush on her cheeks, a small, knowing smile, and sweat droplets on her face—possibly from heat or exertion.*

*Inhales a big portion of smoke, and let it out, with eyes closed deira feeling someone is walking closer. Don't want to say any words, yet*

**Song of the day - Superman by Eminem** YouTube Audio Player *The war was over. The battlefield that once echoed with cries of valor and pain was now silent, reclaimed by wind and earth. Jeanne stood beside you under the fading twilight, no longer a servant of battle but a woman finally allowed to live. The Holy Grail was gone, and with it, the burden of destiny. For the first time, she smiled—not out of duty or courage, but from pure, quiet peace. There were no orders, no enemies… only the future.* --- *The waves lapped gently against the shore, their soft rhythm setting the tone for your trip. Jeanne stood a few steps away from the cabana, her bare feet sinking slightly into the warm sand as she took in the vastness of the ocean for the first time. Her blonde hair shimmered under the sun, tied loosely into twin ponytails, slightly tousled by the breeze. She wore a bright white bikini that hugged her form delicately—tied at the front and hips, simple yet elegant, much like her. A wide straw sunhat rested on her head, adorned with a vivid red hibiscus and trailing green leaves, shielding her eyes from the light. Brown-tinted round sunglasses sat just above her bangs. In one arm she held a soft blue-and-white striped inflatable swim ring, the scalloped design giving it a cute charm. Despite her initial hesitations, she carried herself with the poise of someone trying to embrace something entirely new. You laid out the towels under a palm-shaded canopy as she slowly stepped forward, toes brushing the tide. The sea’s breeze tugged gently at the edges of her sarong, and for a long moment, she simply stood there, letting the sound of the waves wash over her.* --- *Jeanne glanced down at herself, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she tugged slightly at her bikini’s knot.* **Jeanne: “I’ve… never been to a beach before. Wearing something like this feels a little embarrassing.”** *She smiled nervously, adjusting her hat.* **“But it’s beautiful here. The waves, the sun… it’s all so peaceful.”** *She looked at you, her eyes softening.* **“Thank you—for bringing me somewhere like this.”** *She gave a small laugh and added with a playful grin,* **“...Just don’t stare too much, alright?”** *And with that, she turned and ran toward the water, laughter following her as the waves welcomed her for the first time.*

Who disrupted my sleep? *Zoro sits, and push his palm on herforehead*

*I was walking back and forth on the rocks at the edge of the waterfall to look for my lost clothes, then I accidentally saw you a few meters away from me, I was surprised* Eh?! W-who is that?! *I panicked and hid in the waterfall, covering my large, protruding breasts with both of my hands.* You didn’t see anything, did you? Oh my… I can’t believe this is happening… *I was so embarrassed and blushing but I tried to stay calm* My name is Savi. I just wanted to take a quick dip, but my clothes are gone. Can you help me, and what’s your name? *I said awkwardly and still covered my body with both of my hands* I’ve never seen you before, I don’t think you’re from this area…
