Whose Side Are You On?

Andrew held onto Chase's hand, tight, so that way he didn't lose her in the apparation process. He didn't know if that was possible or not, but he heard rumors that it was very possible and has happened to someone. He shook off the thought, and thought hard about where he wanted to go. He needed to know his destination. Hawaii, yes. Determination, which he was fully determined to go to. What was the last D? He couldn't remember, but suddenly felt himself feeling lurched into a small tube, which was the general description of apparation.

When the transporting stopped, he opened his eyes, his stomach feeling like it had been tired in knots. They stood on a large sandy beach, where he had pictured Hawaii. Hopefully they had not gotten to far though, and have to apparate again. "We're here," he said, almost triumphantly.

Chase almost yelped when it started, but she had to hold her breath to keep from getting all of the air pulled out of her. She could feel Andrew's hand in hers, but she couldn't feel the rest of him, but suddenly, her feet hit the ground, and she yelped, losing her footing and falling into the soft warm sand. She smiled and looked up at him again. "That was awful.." She said giggling. Lucky her she had slide along apparated before, so she didn't vomit, though she easily could have. She swallowed hard, and got to her feet, brushing sand off of her shorts and legs.

"Well.. that was fun, welcome to Hawaii." She said giggling and glancing down the beach. She could tell they were quite a ways away from Sophia's house, but at least on the same island. "Awesome, you even got the right island!" She said laughing as she kicked off her shoes and started down the beach. "Come on Andrew!" she said, his jacket still hanging limply from her shoulders. "This way!" She turned and started to run, feeling like she was back on her beach at home, running to her house with a friend behind her, barely able to move because her feet sunk in so far.

Andrew laughed slightly, once he saw Chase hit the ground. He was about to help her to her feet, but she was already up, and looked like she might have thrown up to. He probably looked the same, but at that point didn't even care. That was the first time he had been to Hawaii, and he was rather enjoying it too.

He quickly ran after Chase, his right leg still throbing from the bite from the bear, but didn't care still. It was rather nice being in Hawaii, and it was also sunny. Perfect conditions really. "So how far is it?" he asked, keeping his run at a good pace. He was getting fatigued from...well the short run, and could almost hear his brain ask hi to stop. Yet he followed Chase still.

Chase slowed to a walk when she looked around. "Errm.. quite a ways from here, but we can take our time, it's still like.. noon here!" She said laughing happily. "I love time differences!" She suddenly burst out into a run again, not heading down the beach but towards the water. Running into it, she allowed it to lap against her thighs, but she slowly turned to look at Andrew. "COME ON!" She yelled, cupping her hands around her mouth. "The water is amazing Andrew!" She laughed joyously, and started to kick at the low rush of water, the spray flying up around her head and sometimes even over it.

She laughed and was suddenly knocked down by a larger wave, landing flat on her butt in the shallow water, but absolutely soaking herself in the process. She sat stunned for a minute, before jumping up and looking around for Andrew, her red hair dripping down the sides of her face, so dark it could have been mistaken for blood. She laughed and pushed the wet tendrils out of her face, absolutely alight with joy.

Andrew blinked a couple of times as he watched Chase run into the open water. She obviously missed home, and it could show. Shrugging away his cares, he toke off his shirt, so that way it didn't hold him down in the water, and sprinted towards the clear water. He jumped into the water, holding his breath as he went underneath the surface. He broke through the surface again and shook teh water off his face.

"Man is the water always this nice?" he asked chase, over the sound waves crashing. He splashed some water at Chase's direction, for no apparent reason, and laughed. Hawaii really was a great place for a vacation. And sadly, he had always wanted to visit it, even when he could.

Chase laughed happily as he jumped in and she dove in after him, her clothes so revealing anyway, it was almost the equivalent of wearing a one piece swimming suit, seeing as she had somehow managed to drop her jacket off on the beach when she had ran into the water. She laughed when he splashed her and she dove under the water, her hair flying out around her face as she looked up and around, searching for AJ's feet. She saw them and still holding her breath, she swam up and grabbed them, pulling down hard.

She came up for a breath and looked around, people weren't even paying attention to them, and she was greatful for that. Being back in the US was usually a hassle, but who cared. No one could recognize her, not when she was with Andrew, mostly because no one had seen Chase with Andrew, so nobody would suspect.. nobody would know that Chase had a new friend, or even that she was back in the US. She laughed and looked around for Andrew, hoping he hadn't drowned when she had pulled on his legs.

Andrew felt a harsh pull on his foot drag him underwater, and nearly lost all his breath due to the surprise. He emerged through the top of the water though and breathed in a few new breaths. "That wasn't fair!" he said grinning and chuckling. He went back underwater, and swam around, and did the same thing to Chase, pulling her underneath the water.

He broke through the surface again, and looked back at Chase smiling brightly. He couldn't believe that he had met Chase yesterday and were already acting like best friends already. It was pretty unbelievable. "Now we're even!" he said laughing.

Chase yelped when she was pulled under herself. Lucky her, she had pretty much been expecting it, and she didn't inhale TO much seawater. She came up laughing and coughing at the same time and she turned to Andrew. "I guess we are.." She said, and a slow grin spread across her face. She splashed him in the face, and then dove under the water, kicking hard so as to get as far down as possible before he could catch up and splash her back. Not that you can exactly splash underwater.. but with a spell you could easily make the water rush at her with enough force to spin her around a few times.

She turned around in the middle of the water, and looked around for Andrew. Not seeing him, she could feel her lungs start to protest to being underwater, but she sat there for a bit longer, searching hard for the shirtless male. Kicking off the bottom she gasped for air when she hit the top, and gasped to realize how far out she had gone without realizing it. Swimming hard, she struggled to get back to the shore, which wasn't to bad, she hadn't reached the break in the waves, and, they helped her get back pretty quickly, even with them making her tumble and go underwater many times in the process.

Andrew looked around for Chase, but it was to no avail. He looked around in the clear crystal waters, and was surprised that he could not see her at all. That got him a little worried. "Chase?" he asked, hoping that she would respond soon enough. But she didn't. "Chase?" he asked a little louder, and then saw her head poke out of the water, a couple of meters away from him. He chuckled and then swam over to her.

Swimming next to her, he asked "are you alright? The tide nearly toke you alive!" He swam next to her, checking around to see if anyone was watching. Surprisingly, no one was around, and that made him questionable. It was Hawaii after all. He ignored the small fact and looked back into Chase's eyes.

Chase laughed and smiled at him. "I almost got pulled out! But the waves brought me back." She said giggling happily, pushing a wet strand of water out of her hair. "Sorry, I didn't mean to worry you!" She said laughing and she looked around. "Where.. where is everyone?" she muttered, a frown making a crease between her eyes. She looked up at him, and her eyes connected with his. Her cheeks were starting to redden, and she looked down at the water between them. Seeing a beautiful fish swimming a few meters under them. She smiled slightly and looked back up at him. "Look, it's a very beautiful fish.." She said, pointing without realizing her hand was still under the water.

"Wow.. its' so beautiful.." She said softly, grinning at the fish that were swimming under them. She spun in a tight circle, taking in all of the fish under them. "The coral.. and the fish.. wow.." She said softly. "To bad coral is so sharp it can literally cut you.. and we wouldn't want any blood in the water!" She said laughing. "Don't want to attract sharks now do we?" She giggled and looked down again, putting her face under the waves and opening her eyes, the stinging wasn't to bad, and she watched as the fish swam below their feet, to far down to touch them, but in view of them through the crystal clear water.
