"Oh shi--" Grant's curse was cut short as the ball smacked him right in the face. Emiri let out a gasp as he fell back rather comically, his legs in the air before he finally collided with the ground. She ran to him, ignoring the oher team's cheers and jeers as she knelt down. "Oh my, I thought you would have gotten that." Karolina said curiously as she joined Emiri. Lorenzo chased the ball that had bounced a distance away. Emiri and Karolina both extended their hands, and together would lift Grant up. The raven haired man blew his hair off his face, taking the moment to shake the sand out of his hair. He huffed, clearly annoyed. Once Lorenzo came back, he slapped Grant's shoulder, grinning.

"Okay! This will be the last point!" Lorenzo announced, spinning the ball on his finger.

"WHAT?!" Nadeline yelled from the other side.

"The winner of this shall be King of the Beach!"

"What." Grant stated, clearly confused by his brother.

"Here we go!" Lorenzo served the ball, pimp slapping it to the other side.

"Dear gods Lorenzo, what have you started?"

Emiri found herself very much agreeing with Grant as the group had decided to huddle...which they only did because Wesley was doing ti so Lorenzo wanted to do it, too. She was expecting a regular game of volleyball, now with everyone riled up it would turn out to be a magical palooza. Grant was clearly displeased in all of this, well more so than usual, anyway. Lorenzo shook off his concerns, and once the other team was ready the group returned to their positions. As Wesley served, Emiri watched him, somewhat dreading his attack. Still, she braced herself, and as the ethereal holy volleyball came down, she watched it carefully. She didn't like the look of it, but it was in her area.

The brunette stepped forward, arms up and she set the ball. As her fingertips brushed it, she felt a sort of push from the ball, and since she wasn't expecting it, she felt herself get knocked back and found herself on her back, watching the ball in the air. Lorenzo let out a hearty laugh, pointing at Wesley. "Ha-ha! NOW the game begins!" He called, jumping up and spiking it. Unlike Emiri, he was simply pushed back. Grant appeared in her sight, and as she took his hand he lifted her up. She nodded in thanks and returned to her position as the ball soared over the net.

Lorenzo let out a low whistle, cracking his neck as he watched the opposing team. His daughter did him proud, it looked like she refused to be the weak point. "INITIATE MANEUVER FLYING SUNSET CROW!" Lorenzo shouted, pointing to the ball came over the net.

Grant rolled his eyes. His brother was taking this much too seriously and they just barely started. "Yes dear!" Karolina sang as she walked forward, bumping the ball to Emiri. The raven haired man groaned, obviously knowing what was coming next. He knelt down, facing the middle of the court as Emiri set the ball high in the air. Lorenzo ran forward, using Grant as a stepping stone to leap up high in the air. Emiri watched curiously, seeing Lorenzo spin around as the ball descended. As both the ball and the blonde came down, a powerful aura erupted from Lorenzo. "TAKE THIS!" He yelled, kicking the ball. At first, it was as if time paused for just a moment as his foot made contact with the ball, and the next thing she knew it zoomed right off, as if it had been shot forward. It landed right smack dab in the middle of the court, having landed so hard it had created a crater.

"What kinda bull was that?!" Nadeline yelled angrily, clearly not amused by Lorenzo's 'attack'.

"We're in it to win it~" Karolina told her cheerfully. "Your serve."

It seemed the other time decided to take the game just as seriously as Lorenzo was. Even Wesley was getting in on it. Emiri giggled slightly, though she caught Grant looking at her. "I think you and I are the only sane ones left." He told her, clearly exasperated. "Lorenzo gets much too competitive sometimes, I swear." Despite complaining of Lorenzo, she could tell he was taking the game seriously as well. He rolled up his sleeves and braced himself for the ball. Emiri would mimic him, as she didn't want the to drag the team down. She watched as Wesley backflipped, admitting herself silently impressed. It looked like he knew how to play. She found herself glad; it would give her some good competition.

"I got it!" Karolina called out as the ball soared over to their side, taking just a few steps back. She put her arms together, bumping the ball up. Grant eyed the ball carefully, and once it was in range, he set it up. Emiri ran over to it, leaping up into the air. She smacked the ball over, landing on her feet and running to the net.

Great, now he was a pervert, too. Grant huffed at Savayna, crossing his arms. Lorenzo hopped over to where Emiri was, and pulled her to him. "HAHAHA! Rozarrians versus the Outsiders?! I LIKE IT!" He yelled as he shook the brunette's shoulders. "Darling! Brother! And Emelia who likes to be called by another name now! Forward, to victory!"

Emiri laughed nervously as Lorenzo basically dragged her to the court, with Grant and Karolina following in their stead. Nadeline jumped out of her seat, punching the air and cheering madly as she went to her side of the court. It seemed the Lorenzo Fever was spreading, and Emiri only hoped she wouldn't catch it next. The four of them huddled together, mainly because Lorenzo wanted to. She felt so out of place with all of them, though she couldn't say she would have felt right at home with the now over enthusiastic Jaakuna and Nadeline, either. Lorenzo looked at each member on his team, putting on a serious face, though Emiri was more then sure the game was...a game to him.

"Alright, they have a pretty good team over there." Lorenzo said, looking at Grant and Emelia. "They may have agility over us; Karolina isn't going to be moving around too well (Not that we blame you darling!) and I'm sure Grant will be too busy fending off Glacie's attacks." Grant huffed again in annoyance. "That leave me and Elizabeth to make it up. What we lack in agility we make up for in passion, strength, and experience."

Did he just call her Elizabeth? Before Emiri could ask, Lorenzo dispelled the group, and they went to their positions. Emiri was front left, Grant front right, Lorenzo back left, and Karolina back right. Lorenzo tossed the ball over to the other side. "Visitor always goes first!"

Lorenzo let out a hearty laugh, though he pounded his chest. "Ho, ho, ho! Relying on the strength of friendship, are we? Very good, very good, I am at a slight disadvantage in that stake...HOWEVER!" Lorenzo sat down next to his wife, cross legged and with crossed arms. "The bonds of friendship are strong, so much in fact that many say they are tied when it comes to the power of love. Yet one more power lies beneath the sand behind us, one that tends to get forgotten or left behind as friendship and love tend to overshadow it. BUT NOT I!" He then pointed at Grant. "The power of brotherhood, a power that is born between brothers is not one to be underestimated! Grant! I choose you!"

Grant had half a mind to tell Lorenzo to fuck off, but he still wanted to play. He remained exactly where he was, though he did nod at him. "Uh huh."

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Nadeline perked up at the sound of her name, and once she and Karolina were finished, she resumed her position next to Wesley. She grinned at him, nudging him lightly. "I promise I'm actually decent at this. Our team will win for sure!" She cheered, her father's infectious energy finally affecting her.

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, alright. In that case!" Lorenzo nodded in approval, though he was as energetic as ever. "I will take your lead boy! Karolina, we march off to battle! Join me, and we will show these youngsters the power of true love! I can't do this without you!"

"Of course dear!" His wife waved at him from her chair, though she slipped off her hoodie.

"Is that a good idea, Mother? You know how competitve Father tends to get." Nadeline asked her curiously, slightly concerned.

"Not to worry sweetheart, I won't move too much, and if it's too much I'll just sit out."

"AHA! Trying to take out one of my top players already?! Sweetheart, just because we're family doesn't mean I will take it easy on you!" Lorenzo shouted, jumping up and pointing to Wesley. "Make your next choice! Sun time is ticking!"

Emiri wished she could have run back to the changing rooms and gotten something more modest, but Nadeline had a vice-like grip on her wrist. Said blonde was obviously very proud at the boys' reactions, and she only released the brunette to hold Wesley's hand. She winked at Emiri and plopped down onto the blanket next to Wesley, making sure to snuggle in close. Boy, that girl worked fast, she was already batting her eyelashes at the prince. As she sat down next to Jaakuna she caught Karolina's smile, and only blushed harder. Grant watched Savayna join the group, about to compliment her swimsuit, but noticed she stripped on the blanket. Everything that happened next seemed to happen in slow motion, as he didn't realize she was going to fall on top of him. He made as if to catch her, but she ended up knocking him down onto his back. Something very soft was squishing his face and partially suffocating him, though when he tried to lift her off, he felt said softness in his hands. As he lightly pushed, he realized much to his horror (and probably everyone else's delight) he realized he had both of her breasts in his hands.

"Now, now, Grant, that isn't something you should do to a lady. Not in public, anyway." Karolina called out to him, lightly fanning herself with a paper fan.

The raven haired man immediately scrambled backwards, his chest heaving in and out for air as his face turned redder than Jaakuna's shorts. Emiri bit her lip, clearly amused at the flustered Grant, though Nadeline and Lorenzo were howling with laughter. "My...my apologies..." Grant muttered, trying to regain his composure, though he was clearly not as amused as his brother was. He didn't quite appreciate Karolina's comment, either.

"Alright, alright, hold your hormones, folks, because we're going to get the fun started!" Lorenzo exclaimed loudly, bringing out a volleyball. "I hope you all can keep up with me and Karolina, because it's time to smack this ball between ourselves and get the blood pumping! Nothing beats a game of good old beach volleyball!"

Karolina nodded to Nadeline, who excused herself, and the two ladies set up the makeshift court as Lorenzo poked Wesley. "Boy, you and I will be team captains. Choose your men (and women) wisely! I'll let you pick first, since I'm such a good man."
