Mariah gets on and starts shaking the girl and say "Get up! You are pathetic." She then looks at everybody and says "Listen, the girl is faking, don't you all see bunch of blinds?", she says angrily.
Trixie walks over to Mariah and puts her hand on her shoulder as she says: "Mariah, forget it! It is obvious she is faking it, lets just go check out the contests." She then turns to the woman and says, "you should be ashamed of yourself. What if someone else had really been drowing and the lifeguards couldn't save them because they were busy trying to rescue you? Maybe you should think about that next time!"
"Whatever, you guys." Roz rolls her eyes at the blond's antics. "Let's go and get our smoothies and watch the Strong Man competition." Roz giggles, then leaps into the air and shouts, "Woo Hoo! Bring 'em on!" She heads off through the crowd toward the beverage bar.
"And Secret Agent Faithe crept swiftly into the shadows, approaching her unaware prey. Her silent antics paid off as she sprang..sprung...sp...JUMPED out of the darkness, taking the thieves by surprise." Over the roaring sound of wind whipping through the Jeep, an enthusiastic voice that belonged to one Faithe Cunningham kept the driver company. Without a radio, driving could be quite the lonely task, but not for Faithe! She had learned over the years to entertain herself, and today's task was an intriguing story of a secret agent who had been hired to shut down a llama smuggling operation. The story was just getting to the good part, but unfortunately for our listeners, the fight scene would have to wait until next week's adventure.
"Tune in next week for the startling conclusion to our epic story."
The beach was in sight. Growing up in the mountains, Faithe had never really experienced the beach before. She had moved here about three months earlier, but had been so busy with work that she hadn't really had time to be subjected to the salty sea air, the warm sun beating down on her body, giving her the possibility of skin cancer, and the sticky water. Still, she figured there was no time like the present. Apparently there was supposed to be a few contests taking place that day. She remembered hearing about...oh what was it?
Ah .!
"The Miss Beautiful Gut Tournament, the strong pop competition, and the Frisbee drinking contest." Vocalizing her wonderful memory skills, she pulled into a parking spot. Lifting the parking break, she turned the ignition off and hopped out. Or at least, she tried to. Wincing, she realized she had forgotten to take her seat belt off. Oh well, life happens, right?
Walking around the back side of the Jeep, once she was safely unhooked from the vehicle, she grabbed her bag and her umbrella. Managing to somehow carry everything, she made her way carefully to the beach. Finding a spot, she set her necessary supplies down. Taking out her blanket, she tried to unfold it and throw it down at the same time. After fighting with the wind for some time, she finally managed to succeed. Picking up her umbrella, which, by the way, was a rain umbrella as opposed to a beach umbrella, she stuffed it in the sand.
Sitting down, she looked rather pleased with herself. Life was good. Unfortunately, her bag was still sitting on the ground out of her sight. Unfortunately for somebody who could easily walk by and, not paying attention, find themselves tripping and having a seat on the sand.
Once she was safely
Mariah is there observing this girl on the beach. She turns to her friends Roz and Trixie and whispers "What the heck! I am seeing bad or this girl has dirt on her fingernails just like the mechanics do! Oh my goodness, she says while covering her mouth with her hand. Can you imagine? a woman being a mechanic! how out of fashion is THAT!."
Offtopic but, Babyblues, don't be afraid about Mariah. She is extremely snob and everything is about looks. She is a richie spoilt young woman. Read the whole thread and you'll see how she really is |
Trixie rolls her eyes and says "Now, Mariah, I soooo thought you were past all this stereotypical nonsense." She chuckles to show she is just teasing and adds: "If it weren't for mechanics, my planes would crash and burn. I, for one, don't care if the wrench is a male or female as long as they know what they are doing."
Trixie decides to introduce herself. Walking quickly over the girl and looking at her rather than the ground, she trips over the bag in the sand and lands sprawled face down at the feet of this girl...

Delayed once again from getting a smoothie and a front row seat for the Strong Man competition, Roz shakes her head with a sigh and joins her friends -- who, incidentally, are heading in the wrong direction. She lightly jostles Mariah with her elbow. "Be nice, Mariah," Roz grins. "Maybe she *likes* being a torque-head... er.. a mechanic. Some of us DO need to *work* for a living, you know? Let's go see what she's about."
Seeing Trixie fall "splat" on her face first gave Roz concern, then she burst out laughing! She just couldn't help it, it was the funniest thing she'd seen all day. In fact, she was completely slain with laughter, and ended up collapsing helplessly in a heap when her knees buckled, with tears streaming down her face.
The sky is falling, the sky is falling! The little nursery rhyme was the first thing popped into Faithe's head as a figure relatively close to her came crashing down. Wincing, her left eyebrow crooked up.
"That did not look pleasant." Stating the rather obvious, she sat up completely, having laid back on her elbows for a bit of relaxation. That hadn't really worked out as she had planned, though, and now her arms were tingling slightly from having fallen asleep.
She could hear rather boisterous laughter coming from a woman whose persona was blocked from her vision because of her umbrella. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she pushed herself up on her knees, her head tilting as she looked at the source of the woman's fall.
Realizing it had been her own bag that saw fit to be the woman's demise, an apologetic expression crossed her face.
"Ah...Sorry about that. It has a mind of its own." Reaching over, she picked up the bag and stowed it safely beneath the umbrella.
"It'll reach up and grab you before you know it." Offering a small smile, she shrugged.
