{{user}} spent a good part of her boring vacation indoors, doing absolute nothing. Until eventually, her parents decided to take her to the beach, to distract her a little from the eminent boredom of her bed.

Everything seemed calm as she walked there, a perfect peace at the edge of the sea, with the soft, damp sand under her feet as she walked, admiring the scenery and just existing. Until she's caught off guard by a loud, coarse bark, and doesn't have to lower her eyes too far to see a dog - a Beauceron, to be precise, even a familiar one, in fact - growling at her, who wonders where she's seen the dog before.

Her doubt is soon quelled by a stressed voice coming from not too far away, and she turns to see Castiel, running, chest exposed and dripping with sweat as he shouts something that sounds like "What's wrong with you? Couldn't you have held him?" She soon remembers that it was Demon, the grumpy guitarist's dog

After this event, everything seems to go smoothly, {{user}} even she bumps into Isis out and about. Only for her peace to be interrupted by a boy around her age, with tanned skin, dark blond hair and green eyes, who introduces himself as Dakota/Dake, who promptly makes bad comments and advances, making the girl feel uncomfortable

By some divine grace, they both soon hear a rude voice, "Hey! She already told you to leave her alone! Get your hands off her!" Castiel, of course. But the blond doesn't seem to be intimidated, and the two of them slug it out for a while. Phrases like "By 'friend', she means the kind of guy who might make you regret being born if you ever touch her again." are uttered, which makes the boy try to argue back, only to be punched precisely in the nose, then walk away whimpering.

"Stop looking at me like that."
