Ann's memory of what was quickly faded fast. Sounds of panicked shrieks, gushing blood, and massive earth moving sounds were replaced by the rhythmic and gentle waves flowing onto the perfect white sandy beach. There were gulls calling from a distant and a light breeze gently stirred up the branches of nearby palms. 

Sights of bloody corpses, burning buildings, and apocalypse were, too, replaced by the sights of a paradise. Ann wearily opened her eyes, in utter disbelief as those very few glimpses of reality faded fast from her mind. She saw a magnificent view of blue horizon meeting a cloudless blue sky. Gulls were flying through the sky without a care in the world and Ann could swear she was seeing dolphins surface for a breath of air in the distance. In her peripherals, the beachfront wrapped in a loose crescent shape, forming a sort of bay area. Looking down, Ann saw that she wasn't wearing... whatever she was wearing from before and was now adorned in a solid navy blue bikini top and bottom. 

Confused, Ann stirred a bit but a small hand settled Ann's discomfort as a childish voice spoke out. Ann turned and saw, also expected, Camille. [i]How do I know her? Since when did I know her? Why did I expect her?[/i] Ann's mind stirred once again but her mind quickly settled as she looked around for the crocodile balloon that was now sounding quite intriguing. 

"Oh-uh... Okay!" Ann answered and asked excitedly, even though she still had not seen this crocodile balloon.

Ann got to her feet and ushered Camille on to lead the way. It was strange but Ann had a feeling in her gut that something was missing... Maybe not a something but rather a someone. Ann wasn't sure but when she looked around expecting to find somebody else. All she saw, however, was Camille leading on and several other people off in either direction looking just as puzzled as she was. 

[h2]Sweet Honey[/h2]

Maybe it was the worst trip she had ever experienced but Honey Day did not remember how she ended up laying on a beach in her red with white polkadot two-piece swimsuit that looked a bit from the 1970s. She didn't question it, but instead rather enjoyed it. Life felt so... alive here!

"Far Out..." She said to nobody in particular as she glanced around. She wasn't in California anymore, that was for sure. But where was everybody? Beaches like these were prime targets for crowds and tourists. Again, not that Honey was complaining. 

A quick search around her surroundings provided evidence that Honey was pretty much all on her own but just as she was about to settle with that fact, she saw some stirring figures inside a sort of bay area. Honey was positioned on a stretch of beach, just where the tip of the bay ended. She waved and called out but soon realized that she was probably too far away. 

It was tempting to just walk over there but Honey didn't have too many days at the beach before and the whole bay was just swimming with life that she couldn't resist it. She charged in and plunged head first into the cool blue water, not bothering to surface. Breathing wasn't going to be a problem as her body began to molt and form stalks of kelp, branches of coral, and various aquatic invertebrates. Exhaling her last bit of water, she walked on the bay's bottom like a living reef, attracting many colorful fish. Honey was the happiest she could be as she became the most popular thing in the bay at that moment.
