A girl about 14 came onto the beach, which although usually cold at this time of year, the day was warm enough for someone to actually come and enjoy the beach. She was carrying a large canvas bag over one arm and a beach chair in the other hand, and a few pets followed her. The Bleached Fellox was trotting along happily over the sand, carrying a couple towels on his back. The Bleached Leebra was carrying a bucket with some shovels in it, and the Wood Sahound was breaking his back behind them, dragging along a cooler two times as big as him. Kairi finally stopped, and said, "Okay, Cloud, lay the towels over there. Barky, you can just leave that there. Linii, could you help Cloud with the towels?" the girl said, and unfolded her chair and let her bag drop next to it. The two Bleached pets laid out the towels, leaving one on top of one of the other towels. Just in case they went into the water and had to dry off. Barkpelt, the Wood Sahound, opened the cooler and pulled out a bottle of water and tried to unscrew the top. Kairi laughed at the Sahound's comical face, his tongue sticking out ever so slightly and his eyes focused on the cap of the water bottle. "Bark, why don't you get one with a flip top?" Kairi said, and the Sahound looked at her. He tried to say something, but then realized he wasn't in his human form. He suddenly transformed into his anthro form and said, "I don't want to." He then grabbed the bottle and unscrewed the cap easily with human fingers. He sighed with pleasure then took a few gulps. He then closed the water bottle, and wiped his arm over his mouth. "Ahhh..." he said, and sat down on a towel next to Kairi and reached into her bag. Inside were some snacks, a few books, a Nintendo DS, some puzzle books and a notepad and pen. Barkpelt pulled out the Nintendo DS and flipped it open, starting to play it. Suddenly it was snatched from his hand. "Sunscreen." Kairi said firmly, handing him a bottle of Easy Spray Suntan Lotion. He growled, but grabbed the bottle and sprayed it all over his body. Kairi promptly gave the DS back to him, and he eagerly took it and started to play a racing game that had plumbers in it. Kairi stared at his fasination with the silly video game. Who would want to have a game with racing plumbers on it?
