Summary; Beach in the City party is a go!! Wear pretty swimsuits and have a good time!
Log;

The City square is decorated like the beach. Of course there's so much sand at this point that Dawn only has to accessorize to prepare for the party. There are beach chairs and umbrellas, over-sized towels. Two slip-n-slides have been set up. There are several different sizes of water guns along with several kiddie pools scattered about. Beach balls are rolling around in the fountain area. There are a few kegs scattered about along with some coolers full of the 'special' kind of fruit punch.

One area is sectioned off for the band performance. Time Bomb will be performing a few sets during the evening in between the partying. The scene is set for a good time, so show up, mingle and have one!


ooc: Sorry this is late. Yesterday I got busy. Have fun! :)

There's no way Buffy isn't attending her little sister's beach party. She was actually in charge of the giant slip-n-slides. She's dressed appropriately and is carrying a red cup with the special punch around. Really she's just enjoying the whole 'at the beach' feeling.

[the_dawnster]

Dawn bounds over to her sister and wraps her arms around her in a tight hug. She's wearing a pink polka-dot ruffled bikini and thinks she looks good too. Not as good as the other day when she was made to think she was awesome looking, but the regular kind of looking good. "Hey, Buffy! Thank you for wearing clothes. You look good in clothes, swimsuits even!"

[whattingawhat]

Buffy hugs back tightly, sticking her tongue out at her sister when she pulls away. She's flushed red with some left over embarrassment.

"They can't all be naked days. Thank the Powers that Be."

[the_dawnster]

There should be lots of left over embarrassment that comes with nakedness in front of the whole city. Dawn will make sure she doesn't forget it for quite some time as any good little sister would do. "Swimsuit days are better than naked days anyway. They show just enough skin to be all wow but hide enough to leave something to the imagination. And we all know that imagination is a good thing!"

[whattingawhat]

Buffy wouldn't expect anything less. "Right and how better to leave things to the imagination than just forget that naked days ever happen."

[the_dawnster]

"I'll do some forgetting for now. But only because you did awesome with the slip-and-slides. I still have to try them out but they look fun anyway." Dawn is looking around the party, watching to see if anything needs her attention. "Besides, my boobs were practically hanging out of my dress, according to some people."

[whattingawhat]

"Yeah. It was pretty...out there. Not that I have room to talk but it's a curse I'd rather not repeat."

Buffy is pretty much just enjoying the party.

[the_dawnster]

"Maybe the deities got their fill of that one with all the nakedness and show-off-y-ness of people and we'll never have to do that one again." Dawn can hope, right? She grabs Buffy's hand in hers and starts off toward the fountain with its many sprouts that shoot water up into the air from the ground. "Wanna run through the sprinklers with me?"

[whattingawhat]

"Wouldn't be a beach party without sprinkler-running-through."

And they're off, hitting the sprinklers with squeal.

[the_dawnster]

Yep, there is squealage as soon as Dawn hits the water, her feet splashing through the wet ground and the sprouts of water falling over them from overhead. She never once lets go of Buffy's hand. "At least it's not freezing cold!"

[whattingawhat]

Buffy slides and slips but keeps her balance as they run through the fountain. She's holding tight to dawn's hand both to keep her from falling and to keep from falling.

"Yeah we definitely wouldn't be taking a dip in bikinis if it were."

[the_dawnster]

Of course as Buffy slides and slips, that psyches Dawn out and she gets a little wobbly on her feet too. Her grip on Buffy's hand instinctively tightens as she loses her balance. She hits the ground hard, her legs slipping out from beneath her so that she lands squarely on her backside. She finally lets go of Buffy's hand, crosses her arms over her chest and offers up a perfect pout and an arched brow. "I totally meant to do that."

[whattingawhat]

Buffy would ask if Dawn was alright but the pout and the brow arching answers that question for her. She extends a hand out to help Dawn up.

"Of course you did. I'll swear to it if anyone asks me."

Derek spots Buffy from afar and makes sure she isn't busy with anyone before he makes his way over to her. He isn't always much for parties but he is one for the beach and he couldn't really turn away from this idea. So he's there, and he smiles when he catches Buffy's line of sight and gives her a hug when he reaches her. "Hey. Guess it's good to do something positive with all the sand, right?"

[whattingawhat]

Buffy hugs back and smiles at him. "Definitely. If we've got to have everything sandy, I say we party. How are you?"

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

"Doing better. Thanks. I'm at a party so it can't be all that bad." His arms cross over his chest as he tilts his head curiously in her direction. "How about you?"

[whattingawhat]

Buffy bites her lips and glances around. "I'm not bad. Like you said, party. There's not a lot of bad there. Have you tried the slip-n-slide yet? I personally recommend them."

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

His gaze slips down to her chest and back up to meet her eyes with a hint of flirtatious amusement sparkling in them. "You're telling me you kept that all where it should be while sliding down one of those things? You might have to do some proving there, sweetheart."

[whattingawhat]

She is going to blush pink when he does that. It has not escaped her notice that Derek is a total hottie. "I have very good coping skills where that's concerned. I'll be happy to do some proving."

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

That surprises him, not that she blushes because he was aiming for that. But what surprises him is her willingness to take up his challenge. It shouldn't surprise him because Buffy has never been one to back down that he's known of. But sometimes he forgets that Buffy isn't just your average girl... that she's something more. "Well then lets go. I'll even hold your drink for you."

[whattingawhat]

She's definitely not your average girl. She doesn't bow down from a challenge very often. She grins and hands over her drink before sort of jogging to the head of the slip and slide.

"Ready?"

Without waiting for an answer she takes a couple of steps back then gets a running start and sliiiiiiiiiiiiiides down the slip and slide.

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

Derek's lips curl into a full smile and a laugh as he watches her. He even forgets for the moment that this was about the top of her bikini staying in place throughout the slide. Instead he just laughs at the fun it looks like she's having. "That's right Blondie, no fear and lookin' good!"

[whattingawhat]

The top does need to be tugged up a bit after that but it doesn't fall down entirely. She beams a smile at him, twirls a bit and then takes her drink from him.

"Your turn."

[ex_bloodcakedarmor707]

"Alright, alright. I haven't been on one of these since I was a kid though. So cut me some slack, alright? I'm a lot bigger now." And as he eyes the slip and slide as he moves to one end, he does look like he's concentrating on what he's about to do pretty hard, probably more so than necessary.

Finally, he takes a running step and leap and he's off, on his stomach sliding down the length of the plastic. He lets out a whooping holar as he comes to a stop. He stands up and grins broadly at Buffy as he walks back over to her. "Guess we both win."

[whattingawhat]

"I did good, right? With the slip and slides? Totally my job."

She's preening a bit as she passes his drink off to him.
