Time to get your last tip into the ocean in! You're all heading back to the island in the afternoon, so soak up the rays while you've still got them.

Time was made up anyway, right? But there might, in fact, be a particular date that might mark a year since something happened.

He sat down then, a little heavily, on the chair to her right.

"Yes. Good. I would love to go to a space beach with you," Stark said. "Very much. Anywhere you like."

Lies. Lies and slander and propaganda and, again, most importantly, impossible.

"I'll try and find us a good spot, then," Summer decided. "In the meantime..." She shifted a little again to face Stark as they talked, "is there anything else you might want to do on this beach before we head back?"

Re: Amenities - Pool

But what if it was possible? What then?

"I'm happy to sit here by the pool with you," Stark said. "The view is very nice. And we can just...be warm. Until we have to go back."

"But we could eat before we go? Lunch. Outside."

Outdoor dining for the last time for a while, likely, since it was still winter. Alas.

Oh, you know, just thr usual for when something that was absolutely actually impossible became possible: crisis. Meltdown. Interdimensional distress.

Like, you know! NBD!

Summer hummed a little in agreement, reaching over to grab her phone, and, out of some sick curiosity or perhaps a sense of wanting to prepare herself, looked up the weather back at the island right now and looked somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"You know, actually? It doesn't look like it's all that bad back home," she reported. "Not like this, obvi, but no one's going to immediately freeze or whatever. But yes..."

Since she already had her phone out, she was already looking up options.

"Definitely need to grab some lunch somewhere."

An interdimensional vacation instead of interdimensional distress could work! Just as a possible option. Just a thought.

"Not freezing?" Stark said hopefully. "Good. I like that."

Sometimes it didn't take much to make him happy. "Maybe we won't need to go somewhere else right away. Not for a little while. For now...sunshine, and drinks, do you need another? And tropical food."

Re: Amenities - Pool

It almost never took much to make him happy, in Summer's experience.

"Oh, yeah, I'll take another drink if you're offering to get me one," said Summer, pretty happily herself, "and while you do that, I'll try to hone in on a good lunch spot."

Re: Amenities - Pool

[stykera]

The sort of happiness that wasn't fleeting took a bit more effort but even that was much easier to achieve than it used to be.

"Same drink?" Stark asked as he stood up. "Or something different?"

Re: Amenities - Pool

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Surprise me," Summer said, which, really, she felt like he should have expected. But, hey, you know what? She had to have to think about drinks all the time, she was allowed to make someone else do the thinking since she was still on vacay.

It probably wasn't much of a surprise but it was a local specialty and this being their last day here, Stark came back a few minutes later with two rum punches complete with pineapple wedges for garnish.

"It seemed like we ought to have these at least one more time," he said, holding out one of the glasses. "Cheers? Or is there something else we're supposed to say here instead of that?"
