Venetia grinned at the boy who'd asked her the question. "Yeah! It seems like there's a lot going on out here! :D"

Meanwhile, Rose and Arion moved to head toward the beach but were stopped by a boy in the pool who asked Arion a question. "Oh! It looks like fun, but I'm actually headed to the beach instead; it's been a long time since I stretched my fins, so to speak. Maybe another day, though!" Arion smiled at the boy in the pool then turned away, heading out of the gate to the fence enclosing the pool area. Rose gave a little wave to the boy and followed after her friend. Soon they made it to the beach, where Arion wasted no time in taking off his excess clothing, leaving on only a pair of enchanted shorts he wore when he knew he'd be changing forms. With a shout, he ran towards the water and leaped in, his lower body changing mid-air into his beloved tail with a flash of blue light. Eventually he popped his head up above the surf, grinning like a Cheshire Cat and gesturing to Rose. "Come on in, the water's fine!" he called happily, already diving back down.

Rose laughed at her friend's antics and quickly took off her cover-up clothes until she was left in just her swimsuit. She then followed Arion into the surf, though with less gusto and speed than he. Eventually she made it in to where she had to use her floating skills, as the water was above her head otherwise. The water was truly beautiful, crystal clear so that she could see the sand below her, even if she couldn't touch it. She smiled as she looked around, marveling at the beautiful work of nature she'd found herself in, when suddenly she found herself splashed with water, her hair soaking wet! She turned sharply to find none other than Arion there behind her, laughing his tail off at the prank he'd pulled.

"Arion Neptune, I swear to Grimm you'll regret that!" She playfully yelled before tackling the merman backwards, dunking them both underwater. Both fairyteens came back up quickly, sputtering from the salt water they'd accidentally swallowed but also giggling madly. Soon both of them were engaged in a silly splash war, with Rose surprisingly holding her own against a boy who'd been raised underwater. Eventually they grew tired of their game-with Rose reluctantly declaring Arion the winner-and calmly floated in the currents, Arion cradling his friend on his torso like a mother otter does her young. Together they simply relaxed and enjoyed the warm, happy sunshine for a while.
