"Aww, isn't that just the cutest thing?" I heard Elliot's high-pitched voice.

Rolling my eyes, he continued, "Now where is a camera when you need one?"

"Shut up Elliot," Henry said. "And why are you wearing trunks?"

That's when I noticed he was wearing a white t-shirt when regular blue swimming trunks.

"Because....." Elliot trailed off.

"Wait, is that mine?"

"Uh, no..." He said nervously, "We probably just the same ones..."

"Mhm..." He eyed him suspiciously.

There was an awkward silence after that until I decided to break it.

"So...Elliot, what brings you here?"

He eyes lit up in recognition, "Oh yeah, I wanted to show you guys something. Come," He went to the door, leading us out and stood off to the side, "After you two...."

Henry still kept his eyes on Elliot until I wrapped my small hand around his larger one. Giving him a reassuring smile seemed to make him relax a little.

Then I felt a hand on my shoulder and heard Elliot faintly muttered, "Off to the beach we go."

Suddenly, that rushing feeling came over me like a wave then abruptly stopped. I felt the sun's rays hit against my skin and the warm sand in between my toes. Looking ahead, was the beach and can I just say....WOW! The water looked so blue and clear, you probably see the sea floor below. The sand looked almost white with little seashells scattered everywhere.

"SURPRISE!!!"

I jumped slightly when I heard people yelling.

Turning around, I came to face unfamiliar people who were all in bikinis or swimming trunks, with excited smiles. Behind the large crowd was a huge, colorful banner saying, 'Happy Birthday Henry!', and tall stands that had lights hung lowly along the beach. Then was the Dj section, playing music.

I glance over at Henry who was clearly shocked and mixed emotions flashed in his eyes.

Robert and Eli emerged from the crowd and walked over to us.

"Happy birthday man," Robert patted his back. His other hands ran through his wet hair and I notice he must've went in the water because his bare chest was dripping wet and his trunks looked soaked.

"Thanks guys....this is just...." He forced a smile.

"WHO'S READY TO PARTY?!?!" Eli suddenly yelled, making the crowd erupt into excited screams. She surprised me because she wore a blood red bikini and knowing her, she well, just wouldn't were one. But she still wore it which looks fantastic on her and her wet, jet black hair was up in a ponytail too.

Music filled the air and some people stayed on the sand, dancing, talking or tanning, while the rest went rushing to the water.

"Oh, don't forget these," Eli said, handing over a pair of trunks to Henry. "Happy birthday loser," she punched his arm then ran off into the water.

Henry just laughed when I spoke up, "They really pulled it together nicely..."

"Were you in this too?" He asked.
