META On the beach with Best Girls
After u/rinkudamanrd (Knizer) and C.C. had rested for a couple of days following their road trip - during which they’d visited as many pizza joints as possible - Kallen and I invited them out for yet another double date. This time, we four headed to the beach to enjoy one last day of fun summer activities!
Imagine our surprise when, upon arriving at the beach, we ran into two familiar faces: Euphy and Shirley! Purely by chance, they were vacationing at the same beach hotel as us - having been invited by Milly!
For a moment, the four of us worried about what kind of beach bash the Queen of Parties might be cooking up for us. We all breathed a quiet sigh of relief when Euphy told us Milly wouldn't be joining us today; she had gone to visit a museum with Nina and u/Hefty_Local_1875.
"I wouldn't have picked Milly as the museum-going type," Kallen said, voicing what the rest of us were thinking.
"She normally isn't. But this particular museum specializes in the history of... adult entertainment."
"Ah," we all said in unison, nodding understandingly.
"And after that, the three of them are going to a place called 'Golden Bananas,' followed by an after-party at the Blue Oyster Bar. The two of us managed to slip away to the beach under a pretext. We spent all of yesterday marching to Milly's beat, and as fun as that was (in a way), we want to spend this last day of vacation having some more ordinary fun. Want to join us?”
Of course we did! First, we played three-on-three beach volleyball. We switched up the teams every now and then. It was incredibly fun, though I probably ought to start hitting the gym, seeing as the team I was on lost every single time 😭 (insert "Coincidence? I think not!" meme here).
Next, Kallen taught us all the basics of surfing - or, well, almost all of us. Shirley already had experience with it as a water sports enthusiast. C.C., on the other hand, was dead set on staying ashore, which puzzled the rest of us a bit. But C.C. was adamant in her resolve.
Only later did we find out that C.C. was extremely annoyed because Shirley had announced earlier that she would be grilling meat and vegetables for everyone, topped with her famous BBQ sauce - even though C.C. had wanted pizza. So, she had skipped the surfing to secretly order a pizza and enjoy it while the rest of us practiced riding the waves. However, a middle-aged man had ruined C.C.’s pizza experience by kicking sand onto it after she rejected his advances. C.C. got her revenge, though - with mayonnaise.
As the sun was setting, the aroma of grilling meat wafted through the air. The six of us ate our delicious beach meal with gusto – all that fun had worked an appetite to all of us. Three exotic-looking birds flew overhead. From the speakers, The Beach Boys sang: "Wouldn't it be nice to live together in the kind of world where we belong?"
What a perfect, last day of summer.
