((Personal note for myself: After I bonded Roger, but beforeWyvern bonding.))

Bayley tried to block out Jinryal as she made her way down thepath towards the whitish sand that spread out a few hundredfeet away. He was soaring above her, but not too high, as hedidn't like the sky as much as he did the water. It was most of the reason they were here at the beach in the first place.

It was a good thing that Bayley loved water just as much as herWater Dragon did, else she'd be in a heap of trouble with thestupid Lord. She was already fed up with him. Stupid pranksfollowed her everywhere she went, and she'd had to confiscate afew whoopie cushions from the dragon already just to stay sane.She'd been getting better at keeping track of him though, andher ears were a lways listening for that distinctive sound of finsshuffling about. He was a tricky one, that Jinryal.

Could you walk a bit faster, Bayl? I would like to get intothe ocean before the sun sets.

Bayley rolled her eyes at his fluffy sarcasm. "We'll get therewhen we get there, Jin." she said tightly, trying to keep fromlooking up. He was probably waiting to drop some kind of pranktoy on her, or maybe pick her up and fly her there himself.

He had gotten bigger since she had bonded him, but he wasn'tas close to full grown as you would think. He was taking histime, and loving every minute of being small. Though it wasprobably better for him if he got big-- easier for Bayley to spot

him.

Look at that!

Bayley had less time to react than for Jinryal to come spiraling

down and under Bayley, knocking her off her feet and onto hisback. He laughed as she let out an aggravated growl. "That'snot funny! Your back isn't exactly a comfy mattress." she

moaned, rubbing her back as she sat up. But Jinryal wasn'tfinished yet.

Jumping forward, he bounded steadily toward the crashing

waves, quickly approaching the beach with a stride that wouldmake most dragons jealous. He was a Lord alright, and no

matter how laid back he was, the arrogance of higher authority

sometimes leaked into his being.

Bayley held on tightly to the clown fish colored dragon's neck as

he pushed the sand up into the air and powered towards thewaves. Even as they hit beach, they kept going.

"Wait, Jin, I need to take off my clothes-- JIN!"

Too late. Jinryal plunged into the cold saltwater happily, his

body a torpedo through the waves, shooting him out into thedeep quickly. Bayley squeezed her eyes shut against the

painfully stinging salt and waited for her dragon to shoot up intofresh air.

As he surfaced, she spluttered angrily. "I hate you." shemumbled half-heartedly, knowing she didn't mean it (at least,not completely).

Love you, too.

Bayley swam as best she could towards shore, her bondedletting out low chuckles every now and then as he glanced her

soggy form making it's way towards shore. She would get himback for that.

She would!

Ah, who was she kidding? Whenever she tried to one-up him, he

always topped her by ten-fold. It was like his mind waspreviously stocked with every single method of the best

bothersome behavior and the worst cruel jokes invented, thisaccident being one of them.

You know, sulking about some wet clothes looks pretty

pathetic. 

And now he was laughing at her. She scowled and pressed herfeet hard against the wet sand as she climbed onto the drier

part of the beach. She had luckily released her towel andbackpack, but they were lying about on the beach haphazardly,

and a few beach-goers were staring at her. She glared back, andquickly went about gathering her possessions and positioning

them comfortably. She had already rented out an umbrellabefore they came and sat under it now on her towel, mumbling

about how wet she was while peeling the layers off, trying toget down to her bathing suit.

Jinryal rolled his dark eyes, smiling at her theatrics. He knew

she wasn't angry-- how could she be? I mean, this was him they

were talking about! Even if he did this stuff to her every day, hewas a handsome Lord  dragon. She was lucky he had even chose

her, let alone followed her everywhere.

But, he felt deep down he had made the right choice. No matterhow pissed off Bayley would get, Jinryal knew that she would

always love him, even if it was a very small piece.

Bayley rolled her eyes. She did this often and usually withoutthought. It had become natural to her, the sarcastic action.

Anyways.

Leaning her head against her backpack, she tried to enjoy thefeeling of sand between her toes and the towel under her wetback and her head against her lumpy and ragged (but stillcomfortable) sack. She breathed in the salty sea air and felt, foronce in these last couple of days, calm.

It was interesting, to feel so rested in one short moment.

I hope you didn't forget that I was here. Her momentary

bliss had been quickly interrupted by Jinryal, who leaned overher, the saltwater from his scales dripping onto her face. Shescrewed up her face against the cold drops and moved out of the way, frowning and mumbling. "Jesus, Mary and Fred, I neverget a break!"

It's called being on Isnit, dearie. Do get used to it. TheWater Dragon was really starting to test her patience.

"I'm going to go get some ice cream." she growled, leavingJinryal to shrug and go back to the waves.

Sprinting forward, he leaped into the air and glided before

halting right as a wave broke on the shore. He dashed his feetagainst it and then shot upwards and outwards, climbing intosky and freedom, and then turning to fall straight down into themurky, whirling green depths of the ocean. He plunged, ahissing of foam and bubbles in his wake, and he opened his jawslightly, letting the soothing liquid pass between his teeth andgums. It felt good, to be so close to where he was supposed tobe. He wished that Bayley had been born a mermaid, so that hecould stay down there forever. It would make things a whole loteasier.

For him, at least.

Bayley stomped down into the loose, shifting sands as a slightbreeze blew it over her still damp feet. They felt crusty and

gross as she kept going, and she knew that once she stepped

off the beach she would have to get into a shower right away tofeel comfortable again. It was how she was-- not that she was aclean freak. At least, she didn't think she was.

She just liked being clean. She could care less about the world

around her-- err, wait, that wasn't true. She couldn't stand itwhen it was overly dirty and she couldn't walk through it

without gagging, but if it was just unruly, she didn't mind it.Much.

She watched as a man toddled along with a cart pushed in front

of him along a boarded path that was at the back of the beach,the brown wood looking curiously similar to a yellow brick road

she had imagined in childhood.

"Hey, mister!" she called, jogging toward him while awkwardlytrying to pull monies out of her short pockets.

He stopped and smiled pleasantly at Bayley, turning to face her.

"G'mornin', ma'am!" he shouted gaily, his mustachioed faceshowing off his happy disposition. "Would you like a cup'a fine

ice cream?" he asked, a slight Italian lilt hinted in his speech.

Bayley nodded, finally managing to struggle out a few moniesfor the kind ice cream man. "Yes, might you have some banana

ice cream? And if so, could you combine it with mint chocolatechip, please?" she asked, handing the correct amount of cash to

the man. He smiled, if not with a bit of confusing fogging it."Ah, sure, anything for'a the customar." he said, and took a

plastic cup off the edge of his cart and flipping open the top. Hereached down past his elbow and pulled out a scooper filled with

green creamy goodness dotted with brown chocolate chips,flicking it into the cup. He repeated this action twice over, and

then went back and pulled out a barely yellow ball of ice creamand repeated the same action he had done before.

Handing the full cup to Bayley, he retrieved a white plastic

spoon and stuck it in the ice cream. "There ya go'a, missus." hesaid, and turned back to his cart, flipping the lid closed to keep

his profit from melting. "Have a good day, now."

Bayley nodded and took a spoonful, smiling as she did so."Mmmm..." Boy, was it good! The combination of mint and

banana, and with the semi-sweet chocolate...

It made her feel instantly better. With a hop in her step, shebegan to walk back to her bonded and her umbrella to enjoy the

rest of her day and her ice cream.
