A blonde girl wearing a yellow sundress, flip flops and sunglasses walked along the pristine beach of the Carribean. She stepped off the boat that had docked on the beach and looked towards a house just a few feet away. She could hear dogs barking in it. "That is a private house, ma'am," her guide, a kindly elderly man, said as he followed her gaze. "The house your father has rented for you is a little farther down the beach. Xandy nodded, adjusted the duffel bag that hung on her shoulder and began following the guide.

A few minutes later, they rounded a corner and a house situated on the clear blue water came into view. [color=violet]"Seriously? That's where I'm staying?"[/color] she asked. The man nodded and gestured for her to follow.

As soon as she had settled in, she pulled out her cellphone from her bag and dialed a number. A few rings and then a male voice answered. He was barely able to say hello when Xandy squealed. [color=violet]"Oh my God, Dad! Seriously? This is where I'm going to stay for the whole summer vacation? Dad, THIS. IS. THE. BOMB!"[/color] she dropped her bags on the floor by the bed and walked towards the big glass doors that led out into the sun and water. [color=violet]"This is gonna be the best vacation ever! Thank you SO MUCH, Daddy..."[/color] she paused. [color=violet]"Yes, I checked. Everything's stocked and would probably last me more than my stay here...Yeah, he said to give him a call if I need anything...Okay, okay, I'm gonna go out and get a tan and swim. Daddy, this is gonna be SO. MUCH. FUN,"[/color] she laughed. [color=violet]"Okay, I'll call you again later. Bye Dad!"[/color] 

As soon as her dad ended the call, Xandy tossed her phone on the bed and began pulling out her purple two piece swim suit out of her duffel bag. In a few more minutes, she had changed, covered herself with sun tan lotion and was sitting in a lounge chair enjoying the sunlight and the breeze.
