WHO: Duncan Theirin and anyone who commented on this entry/can be assumed to have been invited or dragged along/wants to run into them by accident.
WHAT: Having a beach party and being normal for a while. ~~Yeah right!~~
WHEN: A week or so after Halloween.
WHERE: Hawaii, one of the beaches on the big island.
WARNINGS: I'll update this if any become applicable.
NOTES: Should probably do this like the Amy & Rory wedding a while ago regarding things happening to different people at different times/places, since there may be many people commenting. Feel free to play by ear/play with time, they'll be there for hours. =)

They'd all survived Halloween, despite ravening hordes of zombies, giant spiders, darkspawn (suddenly Duncan had a lot more respect for his father's nightmares), and countless other nasty things.

Clearly, a party was in order. Duncan figured the recipe should work like this: take one beach plus ocean, one sunny afternoon that would eventually turn into evening, someplace warm, one bonfire, several grills, more hot dogs and hamburgers and various foodstuffs than he could count (including some rabbit food somewhere for those who preferred non-meaty options), a lot of marshmallows, a lot of roasting forks, an obscene amount of cola, and as many friends as possible. Mix together to create awesome event.

Or so Duncan hoped, anyway. They certainly could all use a break, between all the battles to the death and, worse, drama that'd been going on.

Besides, it was weeks since he'd been able to do any surfing, and those waves had his name on them.

	Deep down, Thomas was really a Brit, through and through. Surfing seemed as alien to him as those Doctor fellows who ran around in their crazy box spaceship deals. Still, he sort of felt like learning couldn't be that hard, really. First though, he had to collect. "You promised me a cow, Duncan. Mooing." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Gaius thought this was a brilliant idea. Things had been tense and weird and some sun and ocean would be good for all of them. "Yes, cow, we demand cow." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Duncan shot Gaius a look. "I never promised you cow, just Thomas. You'll have to make do with endless hamburgers." He turned back to Thomas. "But I did promise you cow, and I will deliver cow. With mooing." He reached for his backpack, lying near some of the crates of food, and rummaged around for a second before pulling out a small, black and white, toy cow. It was plushy. It was cute. There was a string sticking out of its stomach. It was certainly not edible. He tossed it to Thomas, trying and largely failing to hold back laughter. "Pull the string. I guarantee moo."

	Thomas sighed, taking the plushie. Why were his friends all such enormous smart arses? Oh. Right. "I think I'll name him Mr. Spots." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Charming." Duncan grinned outright. "Don't look so peeved, man. I may not have delivered living breathing cow but there's an entire box of burgers with your name on it, see?" Sure enough, one of the boxes has "RESERVED FOR THOMAS" scrawled in permanent marker on top. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Zelda arrived shortly after, plopping into the sad with a book in hand. Smiling at Duncan, she waved before opening the book and starting to read. She wasn't the best at being social in huge groups. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Duncan let this continue for a while before plopping himself in the sand next to her. "If that's a medical textbook, I'm going to have to confiscate it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Nope, Camus." She looked up at him over her book, showing him the spine. "The Fall. Gotta stay well rounded." She shrugged her shoulders before dogearing a page and setting the book down. That left her hands free to ruffle Duncan's hair, which she knew would irritate him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Duncan rolled his eyes. "I swear, your definition of light reading...whatever happened to that rule where the only books allowed on beaches have to be called things like The Omega Complex and the like? Greek letter plus over-the-top noun. It's a law, I swear it is." He tried to duck out of the way of hair-ruffling, without much success, and glowered at her even know he knew very well she'd only take that as encouragement.

	"You know me, I'm a rulebreaker." She smiled when he tried to avoid the hair ruffling, and grinned even more broadly at his scowling. That was when she pounced on him, pinning him down and savagely ruffling his hair with both hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Aaagh!" No fair, no fair, no fair. Duncan had absolutely no compunctions about fighting girls, not with his family, and he certainly could throw Zelda off and get unpinned; she was quick but nothing like as strong as he was. But she had curves and things that were kind of distracting and made it hard to fight back.

God he hated being a teenage guy sometimes.

He did finally manage to grab her wrists and scowl up at her. "Why do you always go for the hair?!?"

	She couldn't help but giggle at the completely undignified noise he made, which only spurred her on to try to tickle him. But he caught her wrist before she could manage to, and she grinned down at him. "I go for the hair because it's adorable when you're sulky and fluffy. So nyah." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"I'm going to shave my head just to spike your guns." His scowl was threatening to turn into a grin, though. Zelda was always like this, he was used to it, and getting a laugh out of her was worth a little scruffing up. Though what it was about bugging him that amused her so much, he couldn't figure. "And I am not fluffy. I am the opposite of fluffy. Fluffy is for kittens."

	"Are you kidding? Then your head would be all soft and fuzzy and I'd do it more. Muahahah!" She gave her cackling maniacal genius laugh which hurt her throat and made her cough for a moment. "Sorry, you are so fluffy, though." She rolled off of his lap and flopped out onto her back next to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
