Tommy had hardly done any swimming since the door to his Aunt and Uncle's home had opened up, preferring to spend as much time as he could on the other planet, but he'd woken up that morning and he knew he needed to go for a good long swim before he did anything else. He'd left a note on the fridge before grabbing some food, a flask of coffee and his swimming stuff, and headed off to the beach.
He was a strong swimmer and before he knew it he'd been swimming for most of the morning, doing "lengths" of the beach. And then there was a voice and he nearly jumped out of his skin!
Spinning round, he blinked as he saw Cris bobbing about in the water not too far away from him. "Cris! Uh, hi. Is Jules with you?" he wondered and looked round for his sister while he treaded water, before looking back at her boyfriend again.
