Beatriz quickly looks up, startled. "What do you mean? I was - I was just teasing, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you or anything, I just - sorry," she finishes, looking away.

"N-No! I mean yeah…. Well both of us!"
She says in slight panic. They got here around 2:00, it was around 8:00 now, the sky was turning hues of purple, blue, and pink, with a hint of white every now and then. It looked like a cotton candy swirl. Reflecting off of the water, it still looked clear, but not as clear as before. Looking at Mavericks eyes, she felt totally at peace. @Trix

"N-No it's fine! You're fine… I just… Apologize too much, I figured you'd be annoyed….sorr- I mean… Yeah"
He said nervously and completely flustered

Beatriz nodded silently. "I feel you. Lure spent a lot of time trying to get me past that. I guess it's time to pass my wisdom down to you," she joked.

"oh please! Pass all of your wisdom down to me!"
He said sarcastically, then laughing a bit, finishing the last bite of his ice-cream. Looking up at the sky, then around at everyone, Ryuu spots CC and Maverick,
ARE THEY ABOUT TO KISS?!
He thought frantically, trying to push that thought in the back if his head,
whayever, forget it… Shes just my friend.
He looks back at Beatriz.
"looks like were gonna have to go soon…everyones heading to the houses. "

"Oh, right," Beatriz says slowly. Then she pauses. "D'you want to hang out with me for a bit in my house? Are we allowed to do that? You don't have to, I just meant - " she shakes her head quickly, letting go of Ryuu's hand.

"uh I don't think we're allowed to do that, but tomorrow morning we can wake up earlier and hang out!"
He says cheerfully to the girl, then looking to see everyone walking to their houses, less and less people were on the sand. Maverick and CC were still in the water, n9t to his surprise.
Standing up, he held a hand out to Beatriz, smiling and his golden hair covering his freckly forehead.

Beatriz nods, taking his hand to stand up. Then she heads off toward her house. "Goodnight," she tells him, placing an arm around herself anxiously.

"night!"
He says with a smile, his hand slipping away from hers. Watching her walk into the house, smiling to himself wlthen walking into his house, gelrabbing a towel the. Going to take a shower. That ocean water felt good along with the breeze l, but the sand made him feel a little gross.

“It is a bit late… but…” Maverick stares at the water, embarrassed. “I thought you were going to teach me?” The innocence in his voice is naive and hopeful, letting his guard down only for CC.

A smile crosses her face as she looks at him. Nobody was around, it was getting darker by the second.
"I was hoping you'd say that!"
She says with that cheeky little smile

He rolls his eyes, playfully splashing her with water. Maverick gestures to himself. “So… where to I start?”

"Hmm, I have no idea actually"
She said looking at the sky.
"Okay first, try to your breath underwater?"
She said looking back at him. How in the world do you teach someone how to swim?

“I don’t know if I can even go underwater,” Maverick wryly admits.

"Oh?"
She says tilting her head like a puppy.
"Okay, let's do it then! For starters you could plug your nose, but i normally just blow out when I'm going under. So just plug your nose, and just put your face in the water, only your face and lets see how that works"
She says following by a kind expression. Holding his hand, knowing this will probably go very slow, but it'll be totally worth it. If she was helping Maverick she didn't really care what she was doing, or how long it would take.

"Okay." His fingers tighten over hers, using his right hand to plug his nose. "Like this?" The voice comes nasally, and he flinches. Laughing, Maverick tries again, this time dipping his chin in the water. With a breath, his face plunges under. It pops right back up, revealing a gasping Maverick.

Laughing and smiling, CC gives a reassuring nod.
"Yeah! Now let's see how long you can do that. I can don't with you if you want?"
She says, her kind voice melting into the air, their fingers entangled with each other. Her voice was very soothing, which she meant for it to be. The last she wanted was for him not be to calm.

A wrenched, "Please," finds it's way out of Maverick. "You count to three, and we will both go under?" He plugs his nose, again, ever prepared.

"Okay!"
She says trying to be a little quieter than she usually is. They weren't supposed to be out here in the first place.
"Okay one….two…three!"
CC says taking a breathe then putting her face in the water. She would be gone completely under but she wanted to take slow steps for Maverick.

@Trix

The water envelopes Maverick's face, and the mere sensation is enough to send shivers crawling up his spine. But his feet are grounded, rooted safely in the sand. His palm is gripping warmth. Focusing on these small senses, he steadily remains in the rippling water.

CC gains a worried look in her expression when she notices Maverick stays underwater longer than he usually was. Hopefully, he was just getting braver, he was only going under for a few seconds. 30 seconds went by,
"Mave? You doing all right?"
She says in a soft voice.

Maverick didn’t hear her, but resurfaces gasping. He showers her with a splatter of water, flinging his hair like a dog. With a tentative smile, he seeks, “How’d I do?”

Laughing at the water splashing on her, watching him shaking his hair like a dog. He was adorable with wet hair in his face, dripping water, splashing it on her face.
"you did good!"
She says through a laugh. The process was going a little slow but as long as she was with Maverick she was fine.
Although she did want to just go underwater, swimming with him. She felt like a mermaid, swimming underwater.
She forgot how much she loved the water until she was around it. She never got to swim back home.
i wish he could swim…. but this is worth it if he eventually can
She thought to herself as she gripped his hand.

@Trix

Green eyes glitter with pride, a hint of complacency in his tone as he asks, "Can you say that again?"
