I joined him, walking into the water and shivering. It was completely green and smelled of fish and salt. I loved it. |

I grinned and walked in deeper and once the water was up to my chest and began to swim around then float on my back. |
|
|
Catalina
I lost myself in the thought of the sun glistening off of him. Iresista- Nope. No. Not gonna think it. I shook my head, as if to clear my head, and walked out deeper, flinching when a fish brushed against my back. I relaxed when I was nearer to him, floating. I loved the feeling of being weightless, with no worries. "Perfect," I muttered. |

Marcus
I yawned and started to fall asleep, floating. |
|
|
Catalina
After his yawn, everything was still and tranquil, silent. Finally, in spite of how I had worked to keep my composure about Marcus, I smiled, and let all my worries fade, drowning them in the water underneath me. I wished life could be like this. "No Worries," played through my head, and I took a long breath, exhaling and feeling as if I had forgotten everything, and this was my life. I wasn't an assasin any longer. I was... a bounty hunter, of sorts. With Marcus. |

Marcus
I woke with a jolt, flipping over and sinking then resurfacing a few seconds later. I glanced at the beach and saw the few people here were staring at me. I blinked and looked at myself. I seemed fine. I shrugged and looked around, seeing nothing I shrugged again. |

Catalina
I lurched, surprised at the sudden noise. I saw Marcus's head sticking out of the water, looking blankly around, soaking wet. I chuckled, "You okay?" I asked. |

"Yeah. Yet, oddly, everyone's staring at me..." |
|
|
Catalina
I laughed,"Well, besides the fact that you're burned as red as a tomato, I don't see why either." |

I looked at myself again. "............" I dove down and focused as much as I can and I just barely changed the color of my skin to a light tan color and then I resurfaced. "It better now?" |
|
|
Catalina
My eyes widened in awe. "Yeah.. how..." Stupid shiny shape shifter. I took a breath and dove down under the water, opening my eyes and loving how clear the water was. I could see Marcus a few feet away, treading the water. I watched the detail, how his stomach muscles flexed when... I stopped. What happened to No Worries? I resurface, take another breath, then go back down. I swim carefully over to him and grab his leg and pull down, hard. |

MArcus
I went under quickly. I put my arms down to my sides and turned towards Catalina. I grinned, watching the bubbles from what air I had been holding in my mouth. |
|
|
Catalina
I grinned back. I hadn't done anything remotely fun in years. I surfaced and pulled the band out of my hair, laughing. I looked out and saw that the day was getting closer to an end, and the sun would set soon. |

I surfaced and laughed a bit. 'That was fun." |
|
|
Catalina
I smiled, looking at him. "Yeah, it was." |

"Maybe we should get a hotel room, since it's so late." |
|
|
Catalina
I nodded, "Good idea." I began swimming toward to beach, shivering in the cold evening air as they sky turned from blue to purple to pink. |

Marcus
I swam to shore and dried off. I slipped on a gray shirt and picked up my things. I saw a hotel probably several yards away. |
|
|
Catalina
I quickly got my things from the changing room and wrapped myself in a towel. I walked back out to join Marcus, following his gaze to a nearby hotel. "There" I asked. |

"Yep. Five stars of greatness or whatever you want to call it. And it's close." I said. "Last one there's a rotten wizard." I said, starting to run towards the hotel. |
|
|
Catalina
I laugh, careful not to let my towel fall, and sprint after him, right on his heels. |

I tripped and begand to roll and I happened to be rolling down a hill.... |
|
|
Catalina
I couldn't stop laughing, and it looked fun, when I reached the bottom of the hill, I flopped down, the mixture of sand and grass soft under my back. I exhaled, staring up at the stars. I didn't think I had ever done anything like this in my life. |

I kept rolling, stopping only when I hit the front doors. "Ow...." |
|
|
Catalina
He barreled past me, and I jumped up, following him to the door. When I got there, I stood over him, looking down. "That was a... creative way of winning the race," I said, my adrenalaine still pumping. |
