[[oo, Lance and Bee meeting after a long time. This ought to be fun, haha.]]
Bee, not having noticed Lancer going to the bar, or if she had, the information not having registered into her brain, nodded.
"Sure," she said and followed him. She, too, glanced at Ace. She was rather disturbed to notice in what state the blond boy was in. She hadn't realised he might show such a side. Though before she had never really liked Ace, now she felt a touch of compassion for him. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all. She swallowed.

Phin smiled and headed to the bar. Once there, he sat but only after offering a seat to Bee.
He turned to other side and saw Lancer sitting beside him. The two had already met in one of their classes. "Hey, Lance." Phin nodded to the boy.
"Hi." Lancer gave a sideways smile. His bad mood had dissolved, and was replaced by a very... relaxed mood. "Quite a spectacle out there, huh?"
"You can say that again." Phin shook his head and smiled. He turned to Bee. "Want something to drink?"
Lancer looked over to see who Phin was talking to. His eyes went wide, but only for a second. Hundreds of memories flooded his mind as he stared at Bee. It seemed so long ago that they had been so close. Whatever happened to him?
Giving himself a mental kick in the head, he nodded in greeting. "Hi, Bee." The smile on his face looked far more natural than it felt.
[Ah, angst. <3]

Bee sat down on the seat Phin offered to her, smiling. He reminded her so much of the kind of boys he had always liked. She still didn't notice Lancer - not until Phin spoke to him, using his name. She swallowed and looked up, genuine shock on her face for the first few moments, in fact so long that Phin certainly had the time to see it when he turned to her to ask if she wanted something.
"Oh," she said, with a voice so quiet that it could barely be heard. She had decided not to let herself think about him anymore, not to let herself remember - but one can't control one's memories. She managed to keep the tears away, though only barely. She looked down, to the bar desk.
"Hi, Lancer," she said quietly. Then she spoke to Phin: "Yes, please. Just... milk, please. Low-fat."

Phin raised a brow as Bee's mood shifted completely. "Okay..." He kept an eye on Bee as he order her a glass of low-fat milk.
Lancer didn't know what to think. It was obvious that she was near tears, but he couldn't figure out why. In his mind, there was no reason for harsh feelings or bad memories. Then again, he wasn't exactly the sensitive type. Or really the type to have a heart at all.
"Are you ok?" Phin rubbed the girl's back lightly.

Bee realised both the boys thought she was acting strangely. Well, Lancer wouldn't, of course. He had changed so much. But she missed him still, and all the good memories hurt. He didn't even know what had been going on with her all through high school. It was obvious at that moment to her that he didn't miss her. It made her want to cry even more, but she managed to get a hold of herself. Not in front of the new boy. She clung to the touch of Phin's hand on her back, closing her eyes for a moment.
"Yeah, I'm sorry," she said. "I'm just... a little sensitive right now. With everything that's going on." She wasn't sure if she wanted to tell him about the relationship between her and Lancer. It was supposed to be over, anyway, wasn't it? She felt vulnerable and unconsciously moved a little closer to Phin in her chair. She smiled to him a little, apology in her eyes. "You must think I'm so high-strung.

Lancer couldn't bare to watch any longer. Without a word, he stood and walked away from the bar. Drink in hand. This was just too much drama.
Phin was puzzled when Lancer left, and was even more confused at Bee's words. "I've met people much more high strung." He smiled for a moment, before getting more serious. "Did something happen with Lancer?"

Bee watched Lancer leave with a piece stuck into her throat. It completely broke his heart, the way he did it. He just didn't care. It was so obvious to her now. Every little piece in her that might have thought that they could ever get back together was smashed, and it was too much. She stared after Lancer, and then mumbled a hasty apology, left the milk on the counter and fled, somewhere, anywhere, to get away from everyone else. Tears burned hot on her cheeks. Why had she come? She should have known she shouldn't come. It all just went so wrong. She felt herself so useless and stupid.
[[omg now I start to cry. This is not a good mood to go to bed with *lol*]]

[[Noo, go to bed with a happy feeling from the Rosaccis!! lol]]
Phin was shocked as Bee took off. Not knowing any better, he ran after her. In his opinion, you should never let a girl cry alone. Or make them cry.

[[tee-hee that's true - I have to concentrate on them instead. Hey suppose there's a forest or some trees or something like that there where Bee might have run to and stumbled on a tree-root or something? After this post I really truly have to go though. But will be back tomorrow ]] Bee ran without really seeing where she was going. She wasn't very fast, because her limbs were still shaking a little from the shock of what was going on out on the ocean. She didn't notice Phin coming after her, she was too busy with her own tears. Then, suddenly, she stumbled on something she couldn't quite see, and fell flat on her face on the ground. She didn't really hurt herself, but she did get her face full of dirt, and the fright made her let out a short little squeak.

Once Dan had a grip of Chip, Moki let him go and quickly climbed up into the boat. She yelled at Dan to swim over with Chip, where she would be ready to grab him again and help Dan pull him up on board. She just hoped that he hadn't been under too long.
Ace clung to Teddy for a moment, not thinking much about what he was doing. After a moment though, once he got a hold of himself, he realized that Teddy would probably be looking for some kind of explanation about his extremely odd behaviour. Pulling away a bit, he glanced up at Teddy, not saying anything just yet, before looking back out to the water. They seemed to have found Chip and were in the process of pulling him up into the boat. He was relieved to see him, but still worried since he wasn't moving.
Sparky had been watching in silence, feeling pretty bad. She was the reason Vinnie had gotten so pissed off, so she felt a little guilty. Of course, everyone was ultimately responsible for their own actions and if she had known Vinnie was that uncontrollable, she would have slacked off a little. She was very excited for Moki, though. She knew that if she would be able to save Chip, she would have a lot to brag about, especially to her parents. Maybe this would get them off her back. She heard Cara but was too focused on what was happening to really respond.

[[Forests come in handy.. ::slaps one onto the island:: Ta da! ]]
Phin's eyes adjusted to the lack of sunlight in the forest just in time to see Bee trip and fall. He ran over to her side and gently touched her arm. "Are you ok?" Before waiting for a response, he wiped away some of the dirt that had gotten on her.
Back over on the beach, Teddy didn't bother to question his friend. He had seen the affectionate expressions Ace and Chip shared. It didn't take a rocket scientist to see that they cared for one another.

Dan pulled Chip with him to the boat and then took great pains to push him up to the deck of the boat. Chip, who was now coughing water good time, was gaining consciousness, and groped for a hold of the boat's railing himself, only vaguely realising what was going on.
In the forest, Bee could only barely stop crying when she felt Phin help her up and wipe the dirt away. She wiped her eyes, taking little wavering breaths. She blinked until she could see a little, and then realised that Phin was there, looking worried. She felt so ashamed over her reaction that she almost started crying again.
"N-no... no... I think... I think I'm ok," she whispered and swallowed and tried to get up. "I'm sorry... I... it's just... I haven't really talked with Lancer in a long time." She felt she needed to give a reasonable explanation. "We used to... date."

"Oh." Phin nodded. He could see why she was so upset. "Anything I can do?" He continued to fuss over her and remove all of the dirt. She needed to get her mind off of everything.

Bee looked at Phin, blinking tears from her eyelashes. They rolled down her cheeks, and she tried to wipe them away again.
"You're too nice, Phin," she said quietly.

Moki breathed a sigh of relief when Chip started coughing, helping him to get up in a sitting position. She sat in front of him, taking one hand in hers she placed her other hand on his cheek, feeling his skin. "Chip, look at me. Are you alright, do you remember everything?" He seemed okay, since he was sitting up and not howling in pain there mustn't be any serious injuries.
