Shelly and Ali huddled in the back of the trolley praying that they would not be injured by the two maniacs up front. Meanwhile Jen just shrugged at Kisuke. "We probably just have to slide it back in place. We can do that when we get there. As for an instruction manual...I burned it on my way out of my house. I like to experiment and figure things out on my own. Why would I need a manual. It takes all the fun out of a new toy."
She smiled up serenely and some of her dyed red hair slipped out of her green beret. She slipped it back under and turned the thing back on. She reached up and pulled down a little microphone and spoke into it. "Well kid's take your seats! We are setting off to the beach! Let's go!" The message blasted inside and outside of the Trolley Tank and she floored it, not bothering to make sure that the other's were indeed seated.

Jess made a duck-and-cover motion even though she was in the ferrari when she heard that announcement, ducking her head nearer to the floor of the car than anyone would have thought possible in a sitting position. Her ice cream had been safely put in the cup-holder by the CD player/radio, so that was not a worry. Only when she was sure the trolley was gone did she get back up and look worriedly at Ella, who had been crying most of the time. The blonde woman stopped crying when she watched Jen try and get as much speed out of that THING that she drove as possible. Then she had chuckled, unable to really laugh past her other emotions. "Ella, is it him again? What's the matter?" To this comment, Ella turned teary again, but did not look at her friend. "Yeah... it's him again." She turned to stare into Jess's caramel eyes. "Evan's other gayman-half broke up with him today." Jess gasped, her hands coming up to her mouth. "Oh, no! Poor Evan... he must have been in a terrible state!" Ella scowled, not wanting to think about the breakup being sad at all. "Yeah, he was. That just makes me all the more upset." She suddenly turned from being irritated to being absolutly and pathetically tearful, sobbing into the steering wheel's black leather cover. "Oh, Jess, I don't know what's wrong with me! Why do I have to like all the gay men?! How come all the characters I play in movies always end up being the opposites to a gay actor?!" She blubbered a bit more, absolutly distraught. She looked up again at Jess, her face a wet mess. "I know so much about him just from being there and watching. I know his favorite ice cream, his favorite pastimes... so many things. But every little thing I have noticed and go through pains to meet goes unnoticed by him. It's like I don't exist!" Hitting the steering wheel in frustration, she accidentally hit the horn, which blared its own version of a not-so-lady-like word that flew from Ella's mouth at that moment. "Why does he have to be such a great actor?! Every time I have to do a love scene with him, I forget... that..." Unable to say anything else, she broke into a new wave of tears. Jess did what best friends always do. She listened and let tears of sympathy roll down her cheeks.
Azzlyn shook her head. "I usually walk alone, but that's only because nobody else wishes to walk with me." She turned with a smile that would have been disarming if she were not dressed in all black and have black tear-drop makeup on her cheeks to Zane. "So no, I don't mind your company at all."

Evan ate his ice cream inside, looking at the two in the car having their conversation, then turning to the rest within the parlor, a look of guilt formed on his face, which he immediatly hid behind ice cream. "I.. think I'll just walk there while they're busy.." Evan said to himself, leaving the building nd heading down to the beach.

"So, do you have a very revealing and appropriately black swimsuit under all that, or am I carrying you into the surf with what you've got on?" His smirk was somehow more comforting than offensive. It might've been the lightness in Zane's tone, or the bounce in his walk, but he was actually trying to be friendly.

Azzlyn laughed. "I actually do have one." She held up a black duffle bag that she was carrying. "Actually, I have not been swimsuit shopping for a long while... so no, my suit is not black. It's my old one; light blue and pink. I don't think the others will recognize me, since we started working on this series together after... the accident." Her face fell for only a split second before she smiled again at him. "I don't believe you've ever seen my other look. Should be interesting for you." She winked.
Ella had driven Jess down to the beach, noting that Evan had already left. She needed to get a hold of herself anyway. They arrived and got out, Jess reaching into the trunk to get the cake she had made and the bags with their swim things.

"As much as know I'll enjoy you in anything that reveals more skin than cloth, I do have to say that I'm a little disappointed. I was looking forward to the black skivvies. Black apparel might eminate 'morbid', but black underwear is a completely different message." Zane skipped a pace in front of her, turning to cut her off with a wicked grin, only to continue the spin to keep the pace on her other side.

Azzlyn laughed. "You're so lucky that I am not Dark herself. You'd be dead by now." She returned the wicked look, her green eyes sparkling, as she commented, "Well, it's a good thing it's a swimsuit and not underwear, huh? If it makes you any happier, I know that Ella's suit is black. She's much prettier than I am and would love the attention."

Cory and Ky had placed an area down with towels and the like, Ky already had begun trenching a moat for his sand castle. He was wearing blue swimtrunks with green palm trees all over. Cory was still in his normal apparell, except his nose was buried in some book as he sat beneath an Umbrella.
Evan watched Azzlyn and Zane yak for a while, curious what they were talking about, though they were way too far ahead to overhear. As he proceeded down the boardwalk, he spotted the umbrella and towels parked in front of the roofed picnic area. It was a bright day out, with only a few clouds here and there, and the wind generated from the sea felt good as it flew through his wavy blue hair. Though he never was much of a fan of the ocean smell, it was a nice change from the smell of hollywood and cigs.

"Only been talking with me a few minutes and you're already trying to pawn me off on someone else? If I knew that you didn't mean it, I'd might have my feelings hurt." The tease was all too apparent in his tone, especially with the puppy dog pout that went with the last of it. "Looks like Ky and Cory have already found us a nice spot. I don't see that monster tank yet, so the boards aren't here yet.. Ella should've beat us, so the drinks should be here.. Care for a swim first, or should we just skip the surf and hit the turf?" That wicked grin never stayed gone for long.
Kisuke was holding onto one of the hanging handles for dear life, both hands clenched in a death grip. His body swung up and down as the trolley took it's massive turns. He yelled in between flights. "You sure you know where you're going?! We should've been to the beach by now!"

The Monster screeched to a halt and Jen shoved everyone out. Normaly she would have been a bit more hospitable but she felt insulted by Kisuke's comment. "I only missed one turn. Alright. We're here. Get out." She looked up and spotted Zane. "Get your firewood out of my beauty!"
Ali looked around and straightened herself out a bit. "Come on Shelly! Let's go change!" She dragged the frazzled brunette to a changing station.

Jess stared in what might have been horror at the trolley-tank as it appeared and Jen started shouting at people. She was pretty sure she had a new character added to her nightmares; that tank scared her to no end. She placed the cake and the cooler of drinks on the table with Ella's bag. She took her own and headed for the bathrooms that were located about a minute away from their spot. "Are you coming, Ella?"
Ella, who had been organizing things on the table, nodded, perfecting the drinks before grabbing her own bag and following her friend.
Azzlyn looked at him with the raised eyebrow that so defined her character. "I think that I am going to swim. Too bad for you." She then winked and went to follow the other women. "I'll be back, Zane. Don't get too lonely without me."

"I'll be counting the moments!" He called after her. Counting them with the number of hot women he could spot, anyways. He made his way over to the monster machine and hopped in to get his boards. He passed Jen with a muttered 'almost be worth it to burn this thing down..' Hopping back out of the tank, he winced as his fingertips traced a few choice gouges in the curved wood. Frowning slightly, he lugged the boards over to where the drinks were. Planting them in the sand a few steps off, he moved over to the cooler and pulled out a brown tinted beer bottle. Popping the top with an obviously practiced ease, he took a swig with a grateful sigh. "Knew it was going to be a beautiful day.."
Kisuke more fell than actually stepped out of the trolley-tank, his legs not exactly listening quite right to where he wanted them to go. Despite his shooken up appearance, there was a big grin on his face, and his pant had a hint of laughter in it. "That was great! That belongs in an amusement park or something! You always have the coolest things, Jen!"

Ky started cursing as the trolley's humongours girth and power shook the loose sand of the moat walls back into the dug out trenches. He'd have to clear them out again in order to get perfect waterflow. He was an odd sort of perfectionist that way...
Cory looked up from his book when he heard the Trolley tank looming closer, waving to it smilingly, as well as to Azzlyn, Zane, Ella & Jess, and to Evan. His arm got a little tired.
Evan approached the drink table, but by the time he'd gotten there Ella had already gone off to get dressed. He didn't have any idea what he would have said to her anyway, but he felt like he was supposed to say something... She seemed happy now though, he thought. He sighed and grabbed a grape jones soda, heading toward Kisuke. "So... was it fun in there?" he asked, sounding more sincere than teasing, though there might have been a hint of both. "I was thinking of going in, but I didn't want to be a guinea pig y'know."

The women waved back on their way to the dressing rooms, and then began to gossip as was the norm. It was interesting to watch Azzlyn be like that. It seemed like the sun was really good for her.
