Sandy Emotions

It was the year, 2024. Sulphur Springs Dance Studio had taken a trip to Orlando Florida. Every year Sulphur Springs Competitive Team goes on a big vacation, for a convention and competition. Last year was Las Vegas, but this year had to be at least 30x better. I mean, They get to go to Universal and Disney World. Today was day 2 in Orlando which meant it was the Elite Competition Team's day at the beach, all 14 of the dancers, along with their families.

"Alright team, What's the number one rule?" Coach Easton called out as everyone walked barefooted through the sand, holding their things

"Don't die" The teens answered

"Be free, Children-" Coach Jade exclaimed, but the juniors had already dashed away

"Well, come on peoples, obviously our kids don't need us anymore," Jess spoke

"You can say that again," Kami said

"I know right, yesterday Zoey got Mcdonald's and she didn't want me to cut the chicken nuggets" Sarah sighed

The ladies gasped

"You poor thing" Jess patted Sarah's shoulder as the moms all walked away, leaving only the husbands.

"What the heck," Ben said

"I don't even know" Noah shrugged

---------------------

The teens had picked a spot on the sand. They lied their towels down and set up their beach umbrellas and chairs. The teens ran straight for the water, but not Griffin. He just lied down on his towel, and sunbathed.

"Look at Griffey. He's asleep " Matt pointed out, as he and his team floated in the water

"He looks so peaceful" Heritage uttered

"I don't like it" Harper spoke

"Go splash him then" Matt scoffed

"Good idea, Matt" Harper said, before swimming towards the shore

"I was joking Harpies" Matt called out

"Love you too" She yelled back. Once Harper arrived at the shore, she procured one of her teammate's sand buckets. She then proceeded to the ocean in order to fill the container with water. Upon completing this task, she strode over to her partner. Harper tipped the bucket over Griffin's face and poured out its contents, causing him to display a facial expression of displeasure

"Harper?" Griffin wiped his eyes

"Your awake" Harper smiled, as Griffin sat up

"He said, 'Come here,'" Harper straddled his lap. Griffin kissed her nose and elicited an amused scrunched expression from her. He giggled.

"You happy to be in Orlando?" Harper asked

"I'm happy to be out of school" Griffin answered

"You must really hate it" She assumed

"I only hate it, when your not there," Griffin said

Harper smiled. She then wrapped her arms around his neck, her thumb stroked upon his nape. Griffin knew what she wanted.

"We can't do that right now, Lovey" Griffin reminded

"I know" Harper pouted

"Tonight though" Griffin confirmed. Harper grinned

-----------------

Time elapsed. Griffin and Harper joined the rest of the adolescents in the water - no one was left behind on land. As the youths swam and bobbed in the sea, Harper briefly observed the mothers. She noticed her mother with a phone in her hand, and all surrounding her with content grins.
