"mmm hmmm," he said, wiping his face with the yellow sleeve. "I.. Maybe I shouldn't go.. you know I .. don't want to bring the party down or anything," he said with a sniffle, the side of his face pressed against the car window.

"No!" She jumped on that pretty fast... "No, you won't be bringing the party down... and the beach will probably do you some good. I always go there after a bad break-up, and we are all there to help you out."

"... maybe you're right," he replied, biting his lower lip and frowning. He turned in his chair to face her, his eyes very expressionate. "But don't tell anyone what happened, I don't want them to get all mopey on my account," he exclaimed, gripping the armrest of the chair. "Please?"

Taken slightly aback by his emotion, she gripped the steering wheel more and tried to stay in her lane. "Uh... sure. Zane, promise the same thing, okay?"
They arrived at Zane's house soon after that. "Okay, hurry up, Zane. We'll wait here for you."

Zane's nodded assent was accompanied with an exasperated roll of his eyes and folded arms.
"It'll take me a few minutes to find the boards and a cooler to hold the drinks." He bolted out of the car before it had fully stopped rolling, heading towards his small house. There wasn't any yard to speak of, the small two story house surrounded by fences on both sides. There was a fire escape looking ladderway up to the second floor, which he took in haste. The second floor was rimmed on the outside by the metal causeway. Zane disappeared along it.

((*sigh* OK I'm re-entering...with crazy fun.))
A loud and annoying ditty was heard before something amazing and unheard of was seen rolling down the road. It was a trolley...with railing treads so that it could on normal streets. It stopped outside Zane's house and the doors opened to reveal two red heads and a brunette and smiling. The shortest red head was grinning a bit madly but that was to be expected. She was rich and eccentric. Just seeing her car said that.
"Well, Ali and Shelly here have told me about a party you are planning!" Jen said hopping out of the trolley. "So I thought I'd bring my new an improved trolley! My construction/car company finished it this morning. They got sick of laying down and picking up the tracks. Not to mention it was really slow going and it ate gas like no other. You know the day started off crappy in the green room but things have just brightened up like the rainbow Evan is. Why are you wearing such bright colors? You're looking like a wanna be Ali."
Ali, who was dressed in bright pink, looked up from her ice cream at the sound of her name. "Who wants to be me? I can't blame them really. I am amazing and beautiful."
Shelly rolled her eyes, stepped off the trolley and yelled into the house at Zane. "Zane hurry up. We need to make it to the beach soon. You might not have a date yet but I do." She gave the house a slightly superior look as if he could see it. It clearly said 'Hah, I am clearly more desirable than you. Beat that!'.

Ella got out of her ferrari with wide blue eyes, staring at the trolley. "Jen! What the... what is THAT?! How can you drive that THING down the street?! The trolly itself was bad enough; now it looks like a tank!"

Zane's head popped out of the window, teetering as he was obviously balancing some heavy stuff where the rest of his body was. He called out in a raised voice, a hint of joking pity in his tone. "Shelly, if I've told you once, I've told you countless times. Saying that quip about 'Destiny' doesn't mean you actually have a date~!" He disappeared back inside, leaving them with the image of him grinning his widest.

Jen looked at her 'tank' and then back at Ella. "I'm rich I dont have to play by the rules. Do you think I should put some lazers on it?"
Shelly gasped at Zane's comment. "How dare you say that about my date! Besides you never said you had one so that means I'm winning."

Ella shook her head, smiling in spite of herself. "Jen, I can't believe you. I'm rich, and I have a ferrari. Not a trolly-tank. Gracious, girl." She laughed at the exchange between she and Zane. "You two are still going at that? Zane thinks that today's activities count as a date with the entire female cast." She then raised an eyebrow at Jen. "Who's your date?"

Zane finally came out from around the lower side of the house, one shoulder precariously balancing several boards of different sizes, his other hand counterbalancing with a large cooler, no doubt filled with drinks, and his mouth was holding the straps of several smaller foam boards that were hanging down across his chest. He wobbled towards the car, a step at a time. It took as much effort as it looked.
"A 'ritle hewp pweeze??" He managed through his gritted teeth.

Ella laughed and walked over to him, taking the smaller boards from between his teeth and the cooler from his arm so that he could busy himself with balancing the long boards. "Quite the skill you have there, Zane. Amazing." She took them over to her car, and then realized that there was no room for the boards in her car now that she had Evan in it. She looked worriedly at the contraption that Jen had driven down the road. "Uh... is there any way you could take these boards to the beach?" she asked the eccentric woman.

Zane sighed in relief when she lightened his burden, swinging the long boards in front of him and positioning them several under each arm. "Thanks, Love."
Making the rest of the way to the car, Zane stopped by the backseat door where Evan sat and tapped the door with the side of his foot. He then lifted the boards that were next to the car up so that his pocket was accessible. There was a medium size chain hanging out of it. "Evan, would you mind getting this for me?" In truth, it was a small picture frame attached to a keychain. The pictureframe itself wasn't elegant or fancy, but the picture was one of the whole of the Tinallie cast they had taken when they were first starting out. Well, the others had been on a while, but it was when Zane came into the picture, and it was a while ago still.

The brunette got a silly grin on her face and got close to Ella so that they could carry on a whispered conversation. "You know that cute guy we saw at the Park the other day? The tall blonde one? I saw him again yesterday and he asked me out!"
Ali looked at the boards under Zane's arms and wrinkled her nose in confusion. 'Why do you have planks of wood? How are those going to be entertainment? I dont understand!"

Ella's blue eyes widened. "Really?" she whispered back excitedly. "Oh, my heavens, you are so lucky! I wish I got asked out more often... I guess I just need to make myself available. I should hang out with you more often." She then turned to Ali. "They're called surfboards, silly. You ride on the water with them."
