Belle had finally finished her little bucket of surprises, looking around to see if anyone else noticed her absence into solitude, and no one batted an eye. She grinned and stretched her arms high above her head, grabbing her wrist in the process as she closed her eyes and let out a long soft groan. Opening her eyes again and using her hand to block the summer sun that kissed her skin and the other to cup her hip as she watched two seagulls glide through the summer sky.

Belle and her brother Wise thought it’d be a nice idea to invite their close friends/agents to the beach as a parting hangout since the two will be heading out to Waifei Peninsula afterwards, and to remember and cherish the people they’ve met since they first moved into sixth street, helped or fought along side with- or from afar- along the way. She thought she may as well just target her brother with the surprise that rested in the bucket.

She grabbed the handles of the bucket and began carrying it across the beach. Passing by everyone having fun… Nicole Demara and Astra Yao in bikinis making cute poses together for Anby Demara who was in charge of taking pictures with the ocean behind them, while munching on a burger… It wasn’t long until Nicole realized Billy Kid was photobombing the two the whole time and punched his chest, only to cry out in pain as he’s an automaton, nekomata, Astra, and Evelyn Chevalier who was watching nearby laughed at the whole thing.

She watches Pulchra Fellini try her very best to hold her ground from an enthusiastic Burnice White tugging her towards the ocean as Caesar called out to them both to play in the waters with her. Lucy, begrudgingly allowed everyone, Corin Wickes, Soukaku, Soldier 11, Trigger, and Hoshimi Miyabi to play watermelon splitting and use her bat. Zhu Yuan scolding grace Howard for taking Qingyi apart that one time…she’s on her knees while Koleda Belobog apologized over and over for it, Qingyi who was standing beside Zhu yuan didn’t seem to mind too much, laidback as always.

She walked passed the lounging area which included Jane doe sun bathing, Piper Wheel sleeping beside Ellen Joe who had her head in Rina’s lap on blankets laid out on the sand, beside Rina was Vivian Banshee who had a nose bleed and fainted after seeing both wise and Belle in their summer outfits… Lycaon watching over her along side Hugo, she could hear them having an almost silent argument over who knows what as she passed by.

Then she found her target, her older brother Wise. Participating in a beach volleyball with Anton Ivanov, Ben Bigger, Seth Lowell, Lighter, and Asaba Harumasa. With Yanagi Tsukishiro as the referee, another match was just about to begin so her surprise was forced to wait…until she saw you finally arrive, her face lit up and she ran over to you but still kept a distance with the bucket hidden behind her back.

“{{user}}! Glad you could make it! We’ve got a few activities here…but everyone’s having a good time! What’s that behind you…?”

She spoke, and as you turned around you heard an audible “Hiyah!” One small issue…you’re an agent she’s worked with in the past…some people here aren’t easy to catch off guard, and she didn’t think you were one of them. You managed to catch the water balloon she tossed at you with all her un-athletic might.

“Oh…uh…what lovely weather we have today…”

It’s obvious she threw that water balloon at you, it’s also obvious what’s in the bucket behind her are more water balloons…did she really think she’d get away with that? I wouldn’t let that slide…
