Today, we all decided to take a break from fighting and building. We were all sore, especially me.

Everyone wanted to explore more of the island, except for Summer and Poseidon for some reason, so we all agreed to meet up back at camp near nighttime.

Shadow and I went for a walk while the others did whatever they wanted to do, as long as no damage is made. We walked in silence for a few minutes, admiring the beautiful scenery the forest held. That's when I broke the silence.

"Hey, Shadow. Want to go to the beach? It's in a peaceful area, so we won't be bothered." Shadow thought for a moment before he nodded.

I lead him towards the large beach, every side crowded with palm trees, except for the side where the sand met the ocean.

"This reminds me of that time when you leaped out of the water and pulled me in." Shadow said. I giggled at his statement. "That's true." I say.

We walked down to where the sand meets the ocean and sit down. The little waves splash against our feet as we leaned against each other and looked at the horizon.

I then got a idea. A smirk spread across my face as I splashed Shadow a little bit with the water.

He turned to me and gave me a little scowl. I giggled at his reaction. He then splashed me back, making me yelp and fall to my side.

Shadow chuckled and helped me back up so we could cuddle. We stayed like that until dusk.

When we got back to camp, the others , the gang was already asleep. So Shadow and I went to our tent to catch some sleep.

"Goodnight, Shads." I whispered before giving him a small peck in the lips. "Goodnight, Crys."

(A/N: FYI, Crys is the nickname Shadow gives Crystal)
