The beaches, the shiny attractions, the pretty girls, and all the food! Everything was just amazing.

Lucien found himself captivated by all the sights and sounds and people. At one moment he'd be starring at a man in a fancy wig, walking around with his pet dog then at another moment he'd spin around and find himself enchanted by some lady in a summer dress. This place was heaven on earth and he looked forward to every minute he'd be spending at Los Paraisos. Well, goodbye sleep! Lucien began coming up with some sort of strategy. He'd make sure he tasted all the food, went on all the crazy rides, swam in the beach, and maybe he'd meet someone new. He grinned from ear to ear, people here looked like they knew how to live life to the fullest, and he liked them already. 

The summoner trailed behind everyone and was dressed for the occasion. He was wearing a dark blue, long-sleeved surfing shirt, a pair of white board shorts ,and slippers. He also had a pair of sunglasses perched atop his head. He was a hundred percent ready to hit the beach and ride some waves. Well, he didn't know how to surf, but everyone who did it looked pretty cool, so he figured he'd give it a shot too. Might as well try and if he failed, oh well. No harm in some good fun.

Then Dylan asked the question that sent Estelle bouncing up and down in glee. [b]“So what are you guys thinking? Water park or beach?”[/b]

[b]“Water park! Water park! We are going to go to a water park!!!”[/b] Their leader had declared.

Lucien pouted childishly. "Eh, there's no place like the beach, so if you guys need me." He flashed a bright and cheerful smile. "You'll find me there, riding the waves and turning heads!" He laughed at the thought, with his horrible balance, it was unlikely, but a guy could dream. Before the summoner could say more, Marcus interrupted their leader and reminded them of the mission. Lucien froze, he had nearly forgotten all about that. 

"Oh yeah," he deflated like a balloon. Well, at least they'd have a lot of time for fun in the sun after the meeting. A bus came to pick them and their luggage up and they passed an array of restaurants and casinos. He must have thanked Tiberius mentally about a hundred times during the bus ride. The summoner shuffled out of the bus with everyone and watched as it drove off. He wasn't being his chatty self, but was instead sightseeing, allowing his senses to have a feast of their own.

What was taking Aria so long? It had been almost half an hour since her friend left for the washroom.

Xan stared impatiently at the half-empty glass of lemonade and the breadcrumbs that remained on Aria's side of the table. They would be meeting the others soon and Aria sure was taking her time. The young woman let out a sigh then took a sip from her glass of iced tea. Los Paraiso was beautiful, but they had to remember that they were on a mission, not a vacation. Xan finished the rest of her drink then got up from her chair. It was time to go looking for Aria, if they stayed here any longer they'd be late.

Unlike Aria, who was all dressed up for the meeting, Xan wore a simple, [url=http://ak2.polyvoreimg.com/cgi/img-thing/size/l/tid/100579608.jpg]white summer dress[/url] that went down to her knees and a pair of sandals. However, the dress had unusually long sleeves that went up to the palm of her hands. They were just long enough to cover the prosthetic because she wasn't exactly fond of the stares it would earn her. She made her way to the washroom only to find out it was empty. 

"Ari? Are you here?" Silence greeted her and she sighed, so that's how it was...well, she was used to it by now, but it still got on her nerves from time to time.

She made her way towards the flying Albatross, if Aria wasn't there then she'd show up eventually, right? Sure, her friend wasn't the most responsible person around, but she wouldn't just ditch the new guilders for a bottle of wine or two. Wait, would she? To be honest, Xan didn't really know. The two of them had skipped out on missions in the past due to Aria's coaxing. The older girl would always make promises on how'd they'd get to it later...but sometimes she never would.

Xan entered the restaurant and looked around, eventually spotting both Thunderhawk and Aria at the bar. Slowly, she made her way towards the two. "Good evening, leader and Ari." The former's name was spoken in a grumble, but she wasn't exactly mad. She took a seat beside her friend, "According to the schedule, they should be here soon, huh?"
