Who: Hayato and his class and anyone who decided to tag along for funsies
What: A TROPICAL GETAWAY
When: A WEEKEND IN JANUARY.
Where: Isle Delfino
Suggested Listening: NO ESCAPE.

Winter sucks, right? Hayato sure thought so. Well, he didn't hate it, but after a month of cold and dark he decided it was high time for a change. While he could have easily done the selfish thing and fled the city for the entirety of winter break, he liked to consider himself a more generous man than that. Surely his students would love the chance to get away from winter for a few days, too. And if any staff happened to stow away for the trip, well, that was their decision.

So, under the guise of having a swimming class while the school's outdoor pool was out of use, our hero whisked everyone away to lovely Isle Delfino. Once plagued by darkness and vandalism, the whole island had since been kept clean and bright and shiny and boasted a number of tourist attractions. With the only real requirement for the gym class being to get at least some swimming in, there would be plenty of time to explore everything else. Between abandoned eggs that hatch water-soluble yoshis, a giant mall, human pachinko, an amusement park, and the hotel with an abundance of ghost stories, there's bound to be something to do.

All in all, not a bad way to ease in to the new semester. The hardcore classes could start next week, he promised, before setting his class free.

Fire magic notwithstanding, Lucca loved to swim. So when she heard that they were headed to Delfino for the afternoon, the beach was the first thing she headed for.

Rock would soon enough find her out there. Well, the first thing he would find would be pile of her clothes (most of them anyway) and her bag, lying in the shade of a palm tree.

Rock certainly hoped he'd be able to find Lucca on the beach! The idea of spending a great opportunity like this with her was way too good for him to pass up! But until he could find her, he continued his exploration. He was satisfying himself with picking up shells off of the beach, examining them as he walked.

But the glint of something metal caught Rock's eye as he walked by a patch of palm trees. Still carrying his latest seashell find, Rock walked up to it to investigate. Was that... Lucca's helmet? It sure looked like it. And there was her bag. And.

And there was.

Her.

CLOTHES?

Rock's eyes widened. He'd know those bike shorts anywhere. Lucca was around here naked?

They widened further. LUCCA WAS AROUND HERE NAKED?!

Rock just stood there, eyes wide, and staring, clutching tightly to the shell in his hand, images flashing through his mind. Oh hey, he realized, he could fantasize. That was new... So new in fact that he just stood there silently as it all played out behind his eyes.

Fantasy.barenaked.exe might have to be paused for a moment, because among those rocks over there he hears a protective "HEY! What're you doing near my stuff!?"

The fact that her glasses number among the items in the pile explains why she doesn't recognize him immediately. She wades out of the smooth stony shallows, but she's NOT completely naked like Rock had guessed. Instead she wears a pair of side-tie underwear and a tank top, with a layer of sarashi binding around her chest peeking out on the side to the astute observer. No, she was clothed, but this makeshift tankini didn't leave much to the imagination either.

That, the lack of glasses, the water-slicked hair and the angry look make her look like a completely different person, for about three seconds.

"C'mon,what's--Wait. Rock?" and the scowl fades as quickly as it arrived. "Rock! Hi! Uh, sorry. I didn't recognize you without my glasses on."

"B-buh..." Rock stammered. He finally heard his name, and his fantasy promptly ended. He didn't have a lot of time to compose himself, when he realized who was calling his name, and whirled around to see...

He hadn't learned how to fantasize for very long, but that was pretty life-like--

Wait. That really WAS Lucca. And she was in her underwear. And. And.

"Y-you look beautiful," Rock said before he even realized what he was thinking. The moment he DID realize what he was thinking, he clapped his hand over his mouth, blushing bright. "L-Lucca! I'm sorry, I went looking for you, and then I found your stuff, and..." he trailed off, trying to stop himself from staring.

She blinks, and actually glances down at herself when Rock speaks his mind the way he does. Color fills her face and she shifts in place for a moment, slicking back some purplish strands of wet hair in her eyes.

She IS smiling, however.

"Really? I just, you know, thought I'd go for a swim, and this is what I usually wore back home... So you said you were looking for me? What's up?"

While Rock's fantasy program filed that knowledge away for future use, Rock smiled through his blush, rubbing the back of his head. "Nothing's up, really. I was just... wondering if you wanted to spend some time together? We could make a date of it," he suggested.

Wow was she cute. He couldn't take his eyes off of her, and didn't even notice.

"That sounds like a great idea! Uhm, let me get dried off and dressed." She replies, scooting past him to press her glasses to her face. She looks up at him, now fully sighted, and blushes again at the look he's giving her. She won't have to wait long to dry off, what with all the steam coming off her.

"So where d'you wanna go?" She asks, grabbing her shorts and dressing right there in the sand. "I know there's an amusement park and a mall, so those are two ideas right there."

Rock decided to be polite, turning his back while she got dressed. Not... that he didn't see her in her underwear already. And enjoyed it. But at least he could try to be gentlemanly. "It's no problem at all," he told her, fidgeting with the shell that he all but forgot he was still holding.

"An amusement park sounds like a great idea!" he said with a smile. "I'd have to go change out of this swimsuit, but if you want to go, I'd love to take you! I haven't been to an amusement park in a while!"

"Okay! Alls I have to do is put this stuff on, but we can stop somewhere so you can change. Where, uh, did you leave your clothes?"

She's already wriggled into her shorts, and is already sitting in the sand and wedging her boots on.

When she was decent once more, he allowed himself to turn back to her. "Just by the lockers down at the surf club," he explained, pointing further down the beach. "No problem at all!"

He smiled, and when Lucca had her boots on, he offered his hand to help her up. He was beaming happily and excitedly.

Edited 2015-01-18 02:26 (UTC)

Lucca was decent, but she'd left her shirt and jacket off, content with the tank top and shorts.

"Hold on a sec."

When Rock turns around, Lucca has already pulled a strange star-topped wand from her bag and waves it at an occupied reach of sand. A strange, rippling purple sphere pops into view and she chucks her extra clothes into the portal almost haphazardly.

"Oh hey, is there anything you want to stow back at my dorm before we go?" She asks over her shoulder.

"Whoa!" Rock exclaimed at the sight. "How... What... Is that an extra-dimensional portal?!" He definitely didn't expect it.

But it was so cool.

"You've got a portable link back to your dorm? Wow! That's gotta be really convenient!" Catching himself, he laughed a bit. "Ah, I don't have much to store, really... Um." Finally remembering the shell in his hand, he tossed it into the portal. "Well, there then!"

When they were done, he offered her his arm, smiling at her. "You're pretty full of surprises, you know," he commented happily.

"It's a Gate. Sort of a... yeah. Extra-dimensional portal. They used to link just between time periods, but I got curious one day and turned the settings up all the way on the Gate Key to see what would happen."

"So it's a portal through space AND time? Whoa!"

Rock was thoroughly impressed.

"I've got a teleporter, but it doesn't work over time, just distances. Of course it needs a transfer server to control the process. But that's pretty cool that you can fit something like that inside of a device that size!" he exclaimed.

He finally caught himself in his excitement and smiled sheepishly. "Heh... Sorry, I guess I got carried away," he apologized. He offered his arm. "Let's get going, the sooner we get back, the sooner we can hit the amusement park!"

"Funny thing, this STARTED as a spacial teleporter, but an, um... accident threw one of my friends into the past. I had to re-examine its capabilities in a hurry after that!"

She walks with him as they talk, and by the time they're back at the surf club lockers she'd relayed her buddy Crono's trip to the past to rescue their other friend, who turned out to be the princess of their kingdom.

...And also they had to rescue the queen in the past to make sure said princess was, you know, actually around to rescue.

"Wow... At least you got if fixed!" He was certainly glad she got it working properly, especially before using it to store stuff in her room. Hopefully it wouldn't end up there before she even left.

As they walked, and Lucca regaled him with tales of time traveling adventures, Rock was thoroughly impressed. "You've had a really amazing adventure," he said, holding her hand along the way. "I'd really like to meet your friends one day! Do you still travel through time?"

YOU NEVER KNOW. That cake he made might be in the prehistoric now, in place of their things. Such is the chaotic nature of an inventor's creations.

"You can! I don't really travel through time a lot anymore. It's mostly to this world and back home, ever since we saved the world, we haven't had to go anywhere--uh, anywhen else!"

Hopefully Ayla was enjoying it.

"Then maybe one time you can take me with you? I'd love to see where you live!" Rock replied as they returned to the locker room. "And even if you don't, the fact that you can at all is really cool still!"

Getting his key, Rock went to the locker that had his stuff and got out his street clothes, suitably short and tropical for the locale. "I'll be out in a minute, okay?" he said, going to change in some privacy.

"Okay!"

Part of of her wonders why he doesn't just do that quick-change flash thing... oh hey wait, that must just be for his armor. Right.

By the time Rock returns, Lucca is not quite where he left her. She's Over there are the Shiny Cream stand, plucking an ice cream from the paw of its pianta proprietor. She turns and waves to him. "Hey, 'm over here!"

With Rock changed into a pair of cargo shorts, a tank top, and an unbuttoned tropical shirt, he came out with his bag slung over his shoulder, looking for Lucca. When he caught sight of her by the stand, he smiled and rejoined her. "Sorry to keep you waiting," he said. "What flavour do you have there?"

She giggles when he gets closer, shifting the pink-spattered cone from one hand to the other to lay some coins on the cart. The plant, meanwhile, is donning gloves and goggles and pulling out a cannister of something that throws fog in the way that only frozen liquefied gasses can...

"Nice shirt! I got strawberries n' cream, and something for you too."

By this time the pianta has taken a very very VERY cold E-tank from the cannister and plugged it into what looked like a paint mixer behind him. Evidently that's because it WAS a paint mixer, and after a vigorous jostling the supercooled E-tank freeze is passed to Rock.

"Its super-refreshing, from what he told me... And super-conductive,so you might get a little bit of a rush."

"Thanks!" he said with a smile. He thought it was a cool shirt!

"Something for me?" he asked, turning his attention to the pianta working with... Was that dry ice? When he was handed the can, he looked curiously at it. He'd never had an E-tank like this before, but if it was super refreshing... He lifted it to his lips and took a sip.

Wow. Was that what humans called brain freeze? It must have been. But it was so good...

"Whoa!" Rock replied, hand on his forehead. "That was a weird surge... But I kinda liked it!" Another sip, and this time the effect wasn't as bad. Perhaps because he was used to it and expecting it this time. "That's pretty good!" He turned back to the Pianta to thank him, and then back to Lucca with a big smile. "Thanks for thinking about he," he told her, dipping in to plant a happy kiss right smack on her lips.

She smooches back and grins widely. "Glad ya like it! Okay, let's go to the amusement park!"

She takes his hand in hers, the one that doesn't have a slushie that could freeze off digits, and walks with him, nibbling her ice cream.

"Oh hey, do you like roller coasters? I feel like I oughtta ask before we pay to go in."

"Oh, sure!" Rock said, taking another drink of eSlush, and holding on to her hand. "I haven't been on a lot, but even so, I've been to some crazy places, and I'm sure I could handle whatever the park's got! What about you?" he asked. "Do you like roller coasters?"

"Y'know they don't really have 'em back home?" Even the Millennial fair was obnoxiously earth-bound in its festivities. Footraces, contests, whatever the heck Norstein Bekkler's lab was... but no coasters.

"But I can handle a little speed and I'm not afraid of heights. Also I"ve read about them! The engineering that goes into them is amazing! To tell you the truth, I can't wait!"
