It was a sunny and hot day at X-tale beach. The inhabitants, both monsters and humans, enjoyed the hot day and the crystal blue sea. whether swimming, surfing, making sand castles, having ice cream, or simply sunbathing :

"Hey, Ink! Let's go! Unless you want to get swallowed up by the waves!"

Cross said, as he hurried Ink, who was walking next to him, at a slow and sweet pace. Cross was dying of anxiety and excitement to arrive and be able to surf with his black board with drawings of white Xs:

"Are you really going to stay there and sunbathe? How boring. Why don't you come surf with me or just swim? Or are you a kitten who doesn't want to get wet?"
