[color=violet]"I thought I'd find you here. Where ya been short stuff?"[/color] greeted Switch upon his discovery of a very tired and frankly disheveled looking Divo.

Divo sat up from where he lay upon the sand beneath the boardwalk. It was about midday on a very sunny and pleasant Saturday. The sound of the waves crashing upon the shore was punctuated by the shrieking laughter of children playing in the waters. Truly it was a perfect day to be at the beach. Divo himself wasn't exactly dressed for the occasion as he was still in his full riding leathers. A cascade of sand fell away from him as he sat up. He didn't even bother dusting himself off which he was oft inclined to do. Instead he stared at Switch with an obviously frustrated expression. A thin film of sand still covered his shades. 

[color=turquoise]"Wha do you wan?"[/color] slurred Divo irritably.

[color=violet]"Just checkin up on you dude. Things have been real weird and fucked up these last few days. Honestly dude I have no idea what to think anymore. Hey, just how long have you been sleepin down here anyway?"[/color] asked Switch out of curiosity.

[color=turquoise]"I dunno, last night or some shit. Why the fuck do you care anyway? What are you my mother? I hope not, she's such a psychotic old whore. No way was I goin home to that shit."[/color] rambled Divo.

[color=violet]"Hey, did you get wasted last night dude?[/color] asked Switch before squatting down and having a sniff.

[color=violet]"You really reek of the good stuff. Why didn't you invite me to your little party? I wanted to get wasted too! You greedy little teeny weenie..."[/color] said Switch playfully.

[color=turquoise]"Shut the fuck up!"[/color] Divo snapped.

[color=violet]"Whoa man, you know I'm just playin! Just chill alright!?"[/color] placated Switch.

[color=turquoise]"I know I know. It's just that I, I'm not in the mood for anythin ya know? I'm just so sick of it all. I don't give a fuck anymore."[/color] said Divo bitterly.

A look of concern played across Switchs face. It wasn't like Divo to act this way. It wasn't like him to act so bitter and defeated. In fact it was usually Divos job to cheer everyone else up whenever the Salt Bay Turbos found themselves in a dark place. Whatever was eating Divo up inside Switch could only guess. Sure, Switch and Divo joked around at each others expense all of the time yes but that was mainly because they wished to entertain the other members of the Salt Bay Turbos. In truth though, Switch and Divo considered each other best friends. They cared about each other more than most people realised. And so with all the concern in the world, Switch decided to sit down next to Divo and have a real heart-to-heart chat. 

[color=violet]"Alright buddy, spill the beans. What's been eatin ya?"[/color] asked Switch jovially.

[color=turquoise]"Where do I even begin?"[/color] replied Divo in feigned exasperation.
