H a w a i i a n R o l l e r c o a s t e r . . . D i s a s t e r? "Here Jim," Nani said excitedly, thrusting a surfboard into his hands. "Let’s hit the waves." She turned her back, an oddly pretty gesture under the circumstances, and stripped off her clothes revealing a crimson bikini. She looked over her shoulder, cherry lips curling mischeviously beneath the warm glow of the setting sun.
“The beaches here are pretty tame compared to what you see in Hawaii,” she explained, her soft accent lacing her words like sand shifting with the ocean blue. “Where I come from, the waters are playful, harsh, and unpredictable.” She explained, almost poetically.
She turned, and he appeared to be a little hesitant, but she was unusually oblivious of his feelings today, for she was too giddy for words. "Jim," she said, with an arched eyebrow, “I’m hungry.” She knew that was ridiculously random and darted for the cooler.
“Mmm, soda.” She moaned happily, gulping it down before stuffing a sandwhich in her mouth. With puffed cheeks, she blinked, “Want a sandwich before we go swimming?” she asked. If only she’d known he wasn’t very experienced with water, for his homeland lacked beaches.
[Feel free to have Jim spazz. XP I love you!]

"Huh?" Jim said rather stupidly as Nani shoved a board into his hands.
Wha...? She said that they were going surfing... and now they were "hitting the waves"? What did that mean? And there wasn't a solar surfer in sight... just the beach.
Things got even more confusing when he found out that he was supposed to wear swiming trunks for solar surfing... and now...
Jim stuttered a bit. Nani was -- stripping.
Jim closed his mouth, which he only just realized had been wide open. The whole trip just kept getting weirder and weirder... cue Nani's randomness as she dashed over for a soda.
Jim rolled his eyes and shoved his hands into the pockets of his navy blue trunks, wondering when they were going to get to the solar surfing...
Jim looked over at the cooler. "Oh, sure, I'll have a -- W-we're going WHAT?!?" Jim said as the delayed impact of Nani's words hit him. They were going swimming?! He didn't swim!
"I-I-I'm not going in! The water looks cold and I don't think I have the right kind of board and-and-and you're wearing a friggin' bikini! Get a shirt!" Jim stammered, backing away from the ocean.
((feel free to force him in! XD))

She was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered herself. And she reddened. She wasn't used to receiving such a reaction, after all, this wasn't her first time in a swimsuit. Little did she know, Jim just didn't know that it had its purposes.
She stood there staring at him for a long moment, although she doubted he could sense her confusion much more than she could sense his. She tilted her head to the side innocently, thinking, am I that hideous? She looked over herself for a minute or two, suddenly aware of her flaws.
"What's wrong with my swimsuit?" she asked finally, very slowly, now rubbing her arm in quiet discomfort. "You look like you've just seen a ghost . . ." she looked over her shoulder, blinking, then back at him.
"You're no petite either, Jim." She muttered suddenly, in tones of mild reproach, thinking he had asked her to put a shirt on because he thought she was overly robust, hideous even. It wasn't until he bellowed something about the water being too cold for him, that he would rather keep dry than get wet.
"But this is what we came here for!" Nani exclaimed, jerking back in shock. "Oh, come on, I'm not that fat. Join me! I promise I won't . . . take up the space." She muttered, now looking over herself the second time.She looked to the sandwich in her hand and blushed before tossing it aside. She didn't want to appear even fatter. XP
He didn't move.
She knew he wouldn't budge. Oh, if only he told her he couldn't swim. The crimson-cheeked Hawaiian wrapped her arms around his waist, grinning slyly. "It'll be fun." She said simply, carrying him effortlessly, closing her eyes as a smile graced her red lips. She hummed, not realizing how taunting the melody of it was, especially they when so close to the hissing waves.
"Huh, you exercise?" she asked casually, now setting his body in the shallow part of the water. She parted her lips . . .
She wasn't prepared for what would happen next.

"Nani -- NANI!! NO!" Jim yelped, struggling. Oh, god. Oh, god oh god oh god. Not the water. Please not the water.
Jim dug his heels in the sand, desperately trying to avoid a watery grave.
"Nani, STOP!! I don't- I can't-"
AUUUUUGHHH!!!! SHE WAS SETTING HIM IN THE WATER!!!
"NAAAAANIII!!!!!" Jim screamed, clinging to her as hard as he could. But then his own weight betrayed him, and he fell into the ocean with a *splash*.
"#$&% YOU, NANI!!!" Jim howled, flailing around in the shallow water. "I CAN'T SWIM!!"

She fell back from the impact of his screaming. She lay there, eyes wide and dangerous. Her brown eyes flashed of anger, fury. And she jerked up - back on her feet - fists clenched. "Watch your mouth, mister! Oh, if I was your mother I would have hung you by your toes to . . ." She paused adruptly. Her eyes couldn't go any wider, for there he was confessing his crime. Her tense shoulders relaxed, stiff lips even stiffer from stifling the laughter that threatened to emerge. Nani slapped a hand over her mouth. "Th - That's . . ." she tried desperately to sound mature, calm, and understanding. But his reaction reminded her of a horror movie.
She swam about, clutching her head, with exposed laughter. She gasped several times. This was too cute for words! She finally found her voice and smiled guiltily.
"I'm sorry. Well, er, #$% you too." She said playfully, not meaning to offend him in any way. It was a sibling rivalry thing. She joined him, setting herself beside him, a compassionate smile crossing her lips. She looked terribly apologetic.
"Oh, baby," she cooed sympathetically, tilting her head to the side, not trying to mock his inability to swim. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? It's nothing to be ashamed of." She gave him a fond embrace and let go.
"Alright . . ." she began quietly, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "How about I teach you to swim?" this was the best solution she could come up with. Hopefully he wouldn't be too bothered. "As David would say," she said lovingly. "Don't worry, ain't no biggie, bruddah."

((How dare you say your post was craptastic! Me likey!))
Jim stood up in the shallow water, folding his arms across his chest and frowning as Nani laughed her head off at him.
Jim rolled his eyes. "Are you done?"
He sighed. "I mean, it's not like I ever had the need to learn, or even the chance." Jim protested. "There's no ocean on Montressor! There aren't even any stupid little ponds... all the water that we ever get is just rain. The most water I've ever been in was in the bathtub!"
Jim hugged his sister figure back. As soon as she stopped laughing, she was actually pretty compassionate about the whole embarrasing thing.
Jim brightened. "You'd teach me? Hey, sure, I'll try it... there's so much water on earth."

Nani sank into the deep blue and realized that she had vanished before Jim. The cold touch of water engulfed her body whole. Her face was intent and full of mischief, in her play, had no name for.
Her eyes traveled up to the rippling surface, somehow curious. She remembered her offer and emerged gracefully, tossing her dark hair back. After all, she did sort of promise him a lesson.
“I guess that’s kind of obvious, I mean, there isn’t supposed to be water on the moon.” She said kindly, her thoughts evidently primitive. She was from the past; he was from the future. She knew very little concerning his world, which would explain the simplicity in her words.
“Wait, the moon gets rain?” she asked, wrinkling her nose, confused. “That’s gotta be a weird sight to see.”
She touched his shoulder with a surprising reverence. “If you get scared just know nothing will happen to you, OK? Now, hold on to me for support so we can begin.” she instructed.
[Jim is so cuttee!]

"It's not a moon..." Jim said, exasperated. "It's a PLANET. Moons orbit around a planet, planets orbit around a sun. Montressor orbits around a SUN. It doesn't even have a moon! 'Cept there's the spaceport, but that's a satilite."
Jim looked at Nani. "You sure you won't kill me?"
He sighed and grabbed her shoulders, piggy-back style.
"Okay... shoot."

"IF I WANT CALL IT A MOON, I'M GOING TO CALL IT A MOON, MISTER! OK?!" she cried, eyes wide. She relaxed when Jim muttered something about her killing him.
"Nah, I won't kill you." She murmured.
The first thing she did was put her hand over his, keeping a watchful eye on the youth, for she promised him security. She turned her head with a smile that held no secrets and chuckled lightly.
“Now that you have somewhat of a firm grip there, allow your body to sorta float – while you’re at it, kick your feet against the water. Don’t bend your knees for too long, or that’ll make you sink.” She explained, recalling her mother’s lessons. “When I was learning,” she began, “I remember how freaked out I was, always clinging to my mom, yelling about how I was gonna be Free Willy’s meal. I know whales don’t eat humans and all…but I was a dumb kid.”
She put a finger to her lips.
"It was the sharks I had to look out for in Hawaii . . ."

"It's not a moon..." Jim murmered, deciding to allow Nani her misguided fun.
"Float and kick?" Jim repeated as he obeyed, holding on to her shoulders while he let his body drift through the water. He kicked his legs slowly, alternating. He straightened his knees when Nani advised against bending them.
Jim worked into a rhythm, half-listening to Nani's musings on her own first swim lessons. Suddenly, Nani's last little phrase had the Montressor native clinging to her back, panicking.
"What the heck's a SHARK?!?" Jim shouted, wraping his arms around her neck. "They eat PEOPLE?!?"

Jim’s squealing frightened Nani, and not much did. She was pale, choked, and her ears could hear the screams of the panic-striken youth as he clung to her like a child would to a blanket.
“JIM, YOU ARE CHOKING ME!” she screeched, paddling around like a helpless puppy. She gasped loudly. She carried him along, hitting the shore with a loud slap.
Oh God, she had just eaten sand. Now she was choking from his grip and the freakin' sand!
Her butt was in the air, face shoved into the sand. She looked like a sand castle (xD). A clam drifted over from the sea and landed gently, almost tenderly on her back – a strange replacement for a flag, neh? She let go of the clean, unharmed Jim. They were back on land, only one scathed.
She didn’t budge. Her pride had crumbled right there and then. What would Hawaii’s greatest surfers think of her now? SHE WAS AN ELITE, AND HERE SHE WAS EATING SAND.
Unnggghhh . . .
What a wipe out. XD

AUUUGH!!! THEY WERE GONNA DIE, THEY WERE GONNA DIE!!!!
Jim's mind raced in panic and newly aquired hydrophobia as he clung even harder to Nani, despire her yelling that he was choking her. There wasn't much else he could do but hold on...
She managed to reach the shore, landing with her face in the sand. Jim climbed shakily off her back, wincing at sand-castle-Nani...
"Ehehe... I'm guessing that's not how you do it..." Jim said weakly, nervously twirling his ponytail.

Nani’s head was bent down in the sand, and she did not see him approaching. In a few strides her fellow student sat beside her.
She had expected anything but the guilty laugh. The boy who thus addressed her was obviously a bit discouraged, sounded almost sorry, but she was too embarrassed to care.
However, Nani wriggled out of the sand, and snorted, crawling back into the water to brush off the remains from her face and hair. She sank into the ocean blue and emerged with a piece of seaweed on her head. She blew it off and swam back to the shore, stifling a growl of displeasure.
Nani advanced on the boy and flung him over her shoulder, stomping back into the water like a madwoman. She wasn’t going to give up on the little space punk without a fight! She didn’t care if he kicked his legs, screamed, or called her fatty! xD
She’d teach him whether he liked it or not!
“These are the shallow parts,” she began, with a bratty frown. “Nothing’s gonna happen to you, Jimbo! Now . . .” she lowered herself and Jim and gave him a piggyback ride.
“Use my shoulders for support, and just sorta float there, then kick your legs against the waves.” She resumed, but paused. “AND DON’T PANIC NEXT TIME! I don’t wanna get sandcastle’d again!” XD
She sighed. “The last thing I need is a flag on my butt!”

((Nani carrying Jim like a rag doll... I gotta draw that!
And YAY! MY COMEDY SLAYS!!! *pirouettes while waving scythe around, random flames explode * HELLFIRE!!! DARKFIRE!! NOW, NANI, IT'S YOUR TURN!!!))
Jim yelped as Nani suddenly scooped him up and flung him over her shoulder like a doll. She seemed determined, and possibly just a little bit crazy... Kicking and screaming probably wasn't going to do much.
But it couldn't hurt to try.
"NANI!!! PUTMEDOWNPUTMEDOWNPUTMEDOOOOWN!!!" Jim shreiked in a rather girlish register, thanking his lucky stars that Warren didn't really do water. If he... no, if ANYONE could see him right now, he'd probably die of embarassment... right after he finished his panic attack.
"Nani..." Jim squeaked, flinching as he touched the water. She still hadn't said what exactly a shark was... But she assured him that it was safe.
Still, Nani wasn't the sanest person on the planet... Now Jim knew where Lilo got her unique personality from.
" 'Kay..." Jim whined, submitting to Nani's orders. He floated and kicked, fearing for his life if he clung to her like a frightened octopus again. If looks could kill... or hindquarters, for that matter.

((I think a sea witch needs to spread her wickedness again.))
Ursula's cackle, which was always a shade different then most female villains, could be heard throughout the land. The skies were a divine shade of blue, but still that raspy, but smooth cackle rocked the very hearts of those that heard it. She was always one to make an entrance: Darkening the weather and riding in on her trident, causing a light flood where her body was formed from the watery mass, a vortex of water, or even in a lightning strike. The sea diva was the one who impressed with her entrances, her magical abilities were always icing on the cake. Contrary to Maleficent and Grimhilde...Ursula is a very glitzy and glamorous lady...like...a fat Joan Collins with tentacles, but her attitude is much more crass...and bawdy. She really has a very nasty mind when one gets down to brass tacks with her.
Nevertheless the laugh was heard. It was a very liquid laugh that was wicked and violent while still maintaining it's charm and class. That was the thing about Ursula...she was, and still is, a very large woman, but blast it all if she doesn't have the grace and elegance of a "Madame." She may do shady work, but she is proper and great fun to be around....when ya don't get on her bad side. Getting on Ursula's bad side takes great ease, however,...a disagreement, a poor first impression, a snicker about...well if one snickers they better have a good reason to be snickering.
Without much warning, as if warning was a good term to use, a light stream of water materialized from thin air. It poured straight and wasn't leaky, like a few drops, but a steady stream. This steady stream, however, ended just a few feet above the water...so this stream was in midair. The light and small pool that began form started to swirl around, like a water tornado. Then, as if more weird things needed to happen, the stream grew bigger, wider, and larger. Of course as the stream grew so did the water tornado, which was quite the spectacle to see.
Most of you, I'm sure, would like to know where this tornado and stream is placed. Well let's just say it began to form as soon as the boy, Jim..I think his name was, began to be dragged to the water by Nani...yes...the girl that is good friends with Esmeralda...this was going to be a real treat indeed. In any event...I am the best. Forgive me a cruel first person laugh...HA HA HA!!!
Now than this stream and tornado combo began to grow and and grow and became more and more violent, so much so that the winds began to pick up, not like a tsunami or a typhoon, but more like...a small whirlpool with wind attachments. Inside the raging whirlpool there formed the silhouette of Ariel, light and sinewy. Her famous notes sang out in angelic fortitude...it was a vision that gathered a lot of spectators, even if it was causing a bit of an atmospheric dilemma and phenomena, but this led others to think 'What happened to Ursula?' That laugh does leave a lasting impression and it was heard only a few short minutes ago. In a flash a loud explosion boomed from within the raging water tornado and echoed throughout the small congregation that had formed at the edge of the beach looking at the spectacle. The silhouette of Ariel contracted and contorted, one would almost think she was possessed. There was a glowing light from Ariels throat that formed into a shell, but only people who were watching closely would be able to notice that. The form ripped in two, and to kids this would be RATHER graphic and VERY disturbing, and became arms, plump, but elegant, arms. The shell, or glowing ball, still glowed at the center of the water tornado. Seconds later the water at the top of the tornado formed six dots that grew and rounded out. The figure inside remained in place and the visually stunning effects were oscar worthy...unfortunately there was not tape rolling to film this spectacle. The six forming legs met at the bottom of the tornado and the figure rose, the glowing orb now only a few feet away from the top of the tornado. The tentacles rose up rapidly, covered the figure, and the glowing orb, and with that the water tornado began to be sucked into this big black mass. Before the figure took in all of the spinning water, the laugh of the sea witch echoed once more through out the ocean. With that the sea witch, with trident included, sprang from the tentacles in all her glamorous wickedness cackling like a mad woman. The water had gone and the Sea Witch landed in the water with a grand *SPLASH*
"Fooled you didn't I?...So you have two options fishcakes...run..or I'll take your voices and put them in the other persons body!" She said with a wicked smile.
As Ursula watched the group of people run off faster than a shark can swim...she knew that there were more interesting matters to tend to. She spun on her tentacles and floated over to the two, who seemed to be in a very odd pickle.
"Janni ((Pronounced Yanni))...Tim....how are we today my darlings?" She said mispronouncing Jim's and Nani's names...innit just like a diva to mispronounce a name without the slightest bit of remorse.
"From what my bubble told me....some one was trying to...surf...on my waters?...I can't imagine which of you two is the culprit." She said in her droll manner as she slithered onto dry land passing by the two only to turn her head and glare/look at Jim.
