"Wee-!" Tart called out as the tides rolled back in, covering their body in salty seawater. They kept their visor suspended just slightly above the water, giggling and splashing around. The beach was packed today, with terraliens of all shapes and sizes running, splashing, swimming, and playing around. Rift kept his distance from the water, grumbling quietly as he pulled out his switch. He wasn't a huge fan of the beach, instead, he enjoyed playing video games and staying inside, but Tart had asked him to come and he had trouble saying no. The sun beat down on his grey fur, making him miserable as he tried to enjoy his video game.

"Rift- come on! Come play in the water" Tart yelled for his friend, motioning the moody terralien over. Rift glanced up, politely shaking his head and turning his attention back to the game. Tart let out a dissatisfied groan as they trudged out of the water to retrieve Rift.

"Did you just come with me to play your video games? You can do that all the time! The beaches are getting hotter from the solar flares.. this may be one of the last times it's bearable this year." Tart explained, sitting down on the sand and crossing their arms. "Its probably just gonna get worse.. cant you at least come sit by the water near me?" He gently pleaded, glancing over to Rift.

Rift sighed lightly, nodding his head and setting the switch down, "You're right.. it's probably just going to get hotter.. I'll come in the water with you" He seemed a bit reluctant, but stood up and adjusted his swimsuit nonetheless.

Tart excitedly hopped up, running after his friend as they went to enjoy the beach. The two swam and splashed around the entire day, all the way until sunset when they finally went home.
