[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Disclaimer: Sailor Moon isn't mine. Neither is its characters, or a certain odd couple who have a cameo appearance at the beach shop scene. Lazulite is mine, etc…

Holiday at the Beach:

Are we there yet! Are we there yet!! ARE WE THERE YET!!!

* screech *

Nephlite: Will you all just shut up? You're going to make me crash the car!

Zoycite: But you already crashed it before. Don't you remember when you ran over that police officer several miles back?

* Nephlite remains quiet and continues to drive *

Lazulite: Nephlite…

Nephlite: … What is it now?

Lazulite: * Tries to look innocent * I dropped my ice cream all over the chair. I'm so sorry…


Zoycite: What flavor was it?

Lazulite: Chocolate…

Malachite: Chocolate ice cream… Are you gaining weight? You know, Queen Beryl hates it when we're unfit. Have you ever thought about going on a diet?

Lazulite: No thanks. Looking at you, the diet doesn't appear to work. I don't want to end up as large as a house

Malachite: I do not look like a house… I'm big boned

Lazulite: * Mutters * Yeah, a three-story tall bone with central heating and bloody triple glazing…

* Malachite glares at Lazulite *

Nephlite: Where's Endymion?

* Others grin *

Jedite: He's riding shotgun…

Nephlite: Queen Beryl's on the move, huh?

Zoycite: I just hope he does not have to listen to Like a Virgin. Heh, Heh, Cape-Boy always did attract the weird and the wonderful… Much like someone we all know…

Nephlite: What was that?

Zoycite: Nothing!

* Jedite points out of the window *

Jedite: We're finally here. And look who's here before us…

*Nephlite pulls the car over to one side and they get out *
…

Queen Beryl: Ha! Ha! Ha! I told you we'd be here first! I'm the queen of the world… or at least a small dark nexus in the middle of nowhere

Zoycite: * Mutters as she notices that Beryl's wearing a revealing red bikini and that everyone else is wearing their usual uniform, like they were ordered * Much like her fashion sense…

Queen Beryl: Anyway. We'll all get ready for the evil team photo. Except for Lazulite, who I want to go and get me a drink from the shop over there

Lazulite: But I forgot my money…

Queen Beryl: Does it look like I care? You're meant to be in charge of Intelligence, aren't you?

* Lazulite nods *

Queen Beryl: SO GET ME A DRINK!

* Lazulite walks over to a shop in the distance as she mutters *

Nephlite: So where do we stand?

Queen Beryl: * Points to a spot nearby * Nephlite, Zoycite and Jedite, get there…

* Malachite stands to one side as Nephlite, Jedite and Zoycite stand on the chosen spot *
…

Meanwhile…

* Lazulite walks into the beach's shop and hears a chime as she walks up to the counter *

Lazulite: Umm. Excuse me, do you have any drinks for sale?

* Man turns around *

????: Yes? Can I help you?

Lazulite: Have you got any drinks for sale?

????: Are you local?

Lazulite: What?

????: Are you from the outside?

Lazulite: Well…

* Woman walks over *

????: Edward… Who is this stranger?

Edward: I don't know Tubs. It seems as if she an outsider…

Tubs: Is she local?

Lazulite: Actually I'm just from… Look, all I want is a drink…

Edward: This is a local shop for local people. We'll have no trouble here…

Lazulite: Yes! I'm a bloody local! I live just down the road for goodness sake!

Edward: … Tubs. What do you think? Is she local?

Lazulite: * Shakes her head and telekinetically lifts them into the air *

Edward: What tomfoolery is this?

Lazulite: * Swipes drinks from off of the nearby shelf * Yoink!

* Lazulite runs out of the shop *
…

* A loud noise is heard in the background *

Nephlite: I think that Zoycite broke the camera…

* Zoycite glares at Nephlite *

Zoycite: It probably broke from having to fit your fat face onto the lens!

Jedite: It was probably the both of you…

* Nephlite and Zoycite both glare at Jedite *

Nephlite & Zoycite: What did you say?

Jedite: Umm… It's a lovely view…

Nephlite: Yes… Yes it is…

Queen Beryl: Be quiet! Malachite, pass me that roll of film!

Malachite: Sure…

* Lazulite arrives holding five cans of coke *

Malachite: Where's mine?

* Lazulite pulls a can of diet coke from behind her back *

Lazulite: Here. This should help with you diet. The Negaforce knows, you need it…

Malachite: * Takes can and throws it on the ground * You're gonna pay for that remark!

* Others snicker as Lazulite runs off, chased by Malachite *

Endymion: Are they always like this?

Zoycite: * Nods * Yep. They hate each other as much as I hate Nephlite

Nephlite: Thanks for the compliment…

Zoycite: It was no trouble

Queen Beryl: There. All finished. Now where are Lazulite and Malachite? Nephlite, Endymion. Go and tell them to get their backsides over here, or else…

* Nephlite & Endymion walk off as Malachite arrives *

Queen Beryl: Bunch of idiots!
…

* Nephlite and Endymion are standing over a patch of sand *

Nephlite: What exactly did you do?

Lazulite: I told him to use his hair as a catamaran, to turn his cape into a sail and to get lost…

Endymion: Bad move. So, that's why he buried you in the sand, with only your head sticking out at the top?

Lazulite: … Please. Just get me out…

Nephlite: Sure. Grab my hand

Lazulite: * As she's being pulled out of the sand * Thanks. I needed that. Sand was in my toes…

* Endymion looks over his shoulder *

Endymion: Shouldn't we be getting back?

* Three head back to camera *
…

Queen Beryl: Where are they? I grow impatient of this infernal waiting! Malachite, what did you do to Lazulite?

Malachite: I buried her under the sand * Rubs his hands gleefully * … this is perfect. No one will suspect a thing… Hee…

* Nephlite, Lazulite and Endymion arrive *

Queen Beryl: Never mind. Now that we're all here, we'll do the group photo for the album. Now, you know your positions, right Endymion?

Endymion: * As all group together for photo * …

Zoycite: How about we have a private photo session later Malachite?

Malachite: … I thought that we said that we wouldn't discuss that in public…

Lazulite: Who's idea was it to go on this stupid holiday anyway?

Jedite: It was Titus'

Nephlite: She's probably planning to ambush you before you leave the beach so that she can oil your back, isn't she Lazulite?

Lazulite: … Whatever…

Endymion: Please! Somebody help me!

Zoycite: No…

Queen Beryl: * Holding onto Endymion as camera is ready to take the photo * Smile! Or I'll put you all into Eternal Sleep!
…

End: Queen Beryl puts the photo into the album, as she notices that in the photo, Malachite is making a strangling motion next to Lazulite's neck and that Zoycite is holding an ice dagger behind Nephlite's back.

Jedite is looking to the side in abject fear, Lazulite is smiling deviously, while Nephlite is sweat dropping heavily as he looks back at Lazulite, aware of Zoycite and then notices that she is smiling happily as she holds onto Endymion, who is trying to kick his way free.

Queen Beryl then turns over the photo, and notices the scrawl of summer' on the back…
