[Trade] NOT A DRILL - Lit

“My Feet hurt! Can we take a break Struts? I don’t even understand why we’re going to the beach. It’s way more comfortable inlands anyway..”, Cassie complains.

“Oh Cassie please shut it! This Trip was supposed to be fun! I haven’t seen the beach for months!”

“Yeah Keo, me neither. And yet im still not this euphoric about it“.

Cassie stops moving.

“Cassie, come on! We’re almost there! I know you didn’t want to come with us, yet we are still a group! Sometimes we have to do things that we don’t want to.”

“I agree with Struts.”, Pipe throws in,”I think we should just move on. The faster we arrive, the faster we can go home again .”

“Okey man, I understand but have you guys heard about-“

“About the sharks? Thats the main reason we’re going there! Haven’t you listened when we agreed to go there? We’ve been talking about that for days now!”, Struts encounters.

“Oh, so that was what we were talking about! I was busy dreaming about the resting i could do while we are out doing all kinds of things. You know that I get injured almost every time we’re doing stuff. I just need some time to rest.”

“Okey Cassie, heres a deal: When we are home you can rest. If u want even for a day or two. I just want our group to be active okey?”

”Okey fine by me.“

The group starts heading towards Beach again. After a while they hear some weird noises in the mangroves. Leaves start to move and it’s getting a little noisy.

“Whats that sound?”, Pipe asks a lil anxiously.

Then, complete silence. Not a single sound. They are looking in every direction, is someone following them? Suddenly they hear some exhausted breathing right out of some bushes.

“Ill take a look, maybe someone’s injured.” Struts slowly walks towards the bush where the noise is coming from. He peaks through it.

“ASTRO! What the hell are you doing here? You scared us!” “I’m sorry, I didn’t want to scare you guys! I just got chased by some Raptors. They randomly disappeared though.”

“Man are you okey? I hope you’re okey.” Keo asks. “Yea i am! We haven’t seen each other in such a long time! Where are you going?”

“Keo wanted to go to the beach because of the sharks there, so i guess thats what we are doing..” Cassie explains a little annoyed.

“Oh what a coincidence! I wanted to go there too. Can i join? We haven’t hang in such a while now!” “Sure! But let’s keep on walking now! It’s almost midday!”

Again, they start walking. After a relatively long time of walking, they arrive.

“Look how beautiful it is here! Finally we’re here!”, Keo instantly runs towards the water and then suddenly stops. “Come over here guys! There really are sharks!” The group slowly approaches, and stops approximately one meter behind Keo. They’re all interested but still a little anxious about the situation.

There never were sharks here. “So what should we do now Struts?” “I wanna throw rocks at them.”, Keo interrupts

“If u can live with the echo… I think we shou-“

Struts stops to see Keo already throwing some small rocks into the water. To his surprise one of the sharks peaks through the water, not looking annoyed or anything. “OMG are those hammerheads? Ive heard about those!” Pipe shouts exited.  Cassie nods.

Keo repeatedly throws more rock at the sharks. One shark flicks his large  fin out the water to send the rock back.  Keo laughs and repeats his action while everyone just looks at him. Astro is the next one to join. Slowly but surely it becomes a game where everyone is integrated. They laugh a lot and have fun playing with the hammerheads. Cassie comes a little more near the water, as she isn’t able to throw that far. She trips and falls directly into the water. The group instantly stops moving and looks in her direction not noticing the sharks that come Cassie’s way.

Pipe notices and yells out to Cassie :” CASSIE! THEY ARE COMING!” Cassie starts moving in panic but doesn’t get her arm out the wet sand. The sharks arrive where Cassie lays. The Group runs to Cassie but stops when they noticed the sharks digging in the sand with their head. Not willing to do anything that could scare Cassie, one of the sharks gently pushes her body up from down under. Finally being able to stand up Cassie looks into the groups direction. “Why do such things always happen to me? Ive never seen anyone if u guys fall.” The groups starts giggling a bit while Cassie walks towards them. “You falling into the water was the funniest thing I saw in a long time now Cassie.”

“Pfff, If you would hang out more with us, you would probably see that everyday. Ive been falling into all kinds of things. Water, bushes, the ground, sand… Almost everywhere!”

“Im sorry to interrupt but it’s getting late. It’s almost completely dark. Do you guys wanna head back home or sleep here?”

Pipe and Keo both look expectant at Cassie. “Are you guys for real right now? We said we are going back home!”

Cassie rolls back her eyes. “ FINE, we’re staying here. But you guys owe me something.”

“Like what? A lesson on how to walk?”, Keo giggles out loud.

“So funny Keo. Let’s look for a place to sleep then, Im tired.”

“Thats a great idea Cassie! Im tired aswell. Where are Astro and Pipe though? .”, Struts answers.

“OVER HERE!”, Pipe shouts, “We’ve found a place to sleep!”

As Keo, Struts and Cassie are heading over to them, Astro is laying out some leaves on the ground so it isn’t as hard.

“Oh how beautiful it is here! What a cozy place to sleep.”, Cassie lays down on the freshly made leave-bed,”Its so comfy i could instantly *yawn* fall asleep….” “Damn that was fast… Anyways, Good night guys”, Struts comments.

Pipe, Keo, Struts and Astro lay down aswell. “Today was wonderful..”
