A Day At The Beach

The Three Caballeros, Xandra, Ari, April, May, and June were having a day of nothing interesting to do. 

Nothing going on with Lord Veldrake. 

"Well nothing going on today. Again." Xandra said.

"Why don't we all go to the beach?" April suggested.

"It's such a beautiful day." May said. 

"Why waste it?" June asked.

So, they all agreed.

They packed their things and went to the beach.

"We did have beaches 500 years ago, but nothing like this." Xandra said.

"It's lots of fun. Just give it a chance." June said.

They set up their beach gear and began their day of fun.

Donald was building a sand castle.

Panchito was surfing on the waves.

April May and June were texting on their phones.

Xandra was relaxing in the sun.

And Jose was playing volleyball with a bunch of girls.

He was just about to hit it when he fell back and landed on someone else.

"Oh my goodness. I am very sorry. Please allow me." Jose said.

The person looked up.

It was a beautiful woman. 

She was wearing

She took off her sunglasses.

"That's alright. No harm done." She said, with a sweet western accent.

Jose took her hand and helped her up.

"Well, I certainly am glad I bumped into a beauty such as yourself." He said.

She smiled and blushed.

"How sweet." She said.

"Allow me to introduce myself. Jose Carioca at your service, my dear." He said. 

He took her hand and kissed it.

"Very nice to meet you, Mr. Carioca." She said.

"Oh please. Jose is just fine. And what might your name be?" He asked.

"I'm Jessica. Jessica Crane." She said.

"Jessica. A name that shines like the beauty who has been given it." Jose said.

"Quite the charmer, aren't ya?" She asked, smiling.

Jose chuckled. 

"And that is a lovely accent. I'm guessing you are not from here." He said.

"No. I'm from Texas." She said.

"I never have been to Texas, but it does sound interesting." He said.

"It's one of the most beautiful places you could ever be in." She said.

Just then, the girls he was playing with called out to him.

"I'd better get back to the game. Would you like to join us?" He asked.

"Oh that's very sweet of you to offer, but I am sort of in the middle of a book. Maybe some other time." She said.

"Very well. Then I hope to see you again, my dear." He said. 

He kissed her hand and walked away.

She sat back in her chair and continued to read, but she continued to give glances at Jose.

Jose did the same with her.

After a while, Jose returned to where he met Jessica. 

Only to find that she was gone.

"Let's hope we will meet again, my dear." He said.
