A/N: Just so we are clear on a few things. This is a Yuri story (i.e Girl-on-Girl action) which will include lemons later on so everyone under-aged should probably stop reading this right now. Still here? Cool.
Important Note: I don't claim credit for this story. It was created, written and planned by my good friend ZeroEX (His IGN on forums and in-game). With his approval, I decided to rewrite this story and -cough- improve the scenes. So, happy reading all.
~|Chapter 1|~
~The Trip~
The afternoon sunlight shone through the window slightly disturbing a more than lazy Elsword who napped on the sofa. Eve was being made into one of Aisha's hair test subjects in her room, along with Oberon and Ophelia. Rena hummed to herself happily as prepared everyone's lunch in the kitchen. Chung and Raven were outside lying on the grassy field, chatting the day away (More like Chung went on and on about knights and honor while Raven hummed his responses).
It was an ordinarily lazy afternoon at their Safe house. (The location is a secret for now.)
After Rena was finished preparing an assortment of different foods - salads, steaks, and mashed potatoes- she called on Elsword to help her prepare the table.
"Elswooord~ Can you please help me set up the table?" Rena's happy mood was ever present as she sang. Since it was her turn to cook, she decided on wearing a yellow tank top and a matching yellow skirt with an apron with "1# Archer!" on the front.
It was only when her sweet voice reached the fiery red hair's ear did he wake up.
Elsword yawned loudly, scratching the back of his as he got up. "Fine, since I have nothing else to do..." Elsword mumbled. Since there were no plans for the day, he decided to go with a simple red shirt and black jeans.
Surprising even himself, he set up the table at such a quick pace that even Raven would be impressed. He did what any regular person would do; he set the plates, and folded the forks and knives with napkins. He yawned after finishing, muttering 'Done' as he sat down in the middle left of the table.
"Oh wow! Nice job Elsword!" Said Rena with hearts attached to her words. Now it was Rena's turn. With blinding speed, she spread the feast across the table.
"Are you trying to show me up?" Elsword yawned.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Rena giggled, covering her mouth. "Alright everyone! Lunch is ready!"
Aisha was the first one to practically burst into the dining room, picking the seat across from Elsword.
"I'm soooo hungry! I honestly feel like I could eat an elephant if I tried hard enough!" Aisha half-groaned half-smiled as she plopped down on her chair. Elsword looked up from his down position noticing that she was wearing a simple purple shirt with a frilly sleeveless white jacket along with a white skirt.
Wasn't she hot in that?
"Do you want to get as fat as an Ancient Phoru?" Elsword remarked in a lazy tone.
"Shut up, Eldork!" Aisha glared. "I don't want to hear that from the guy who eats like a bottomless pit day in and day out!"
Elsword didn't bother responding. He was too tired.
The fabulous queen Eve gracefully strode into the dining room, naturally followed by Oberon and Ophelia. Today she thought she'd wear her all too famous tiara with a simple frilly white and pink dress that reached her lower thigh.
Oberon walked away of her, reaching and pulling out a seat for his Nasod queen right next to the bubbly purple mage. Ophelia slowly took her Empress' hand and allowed her to sit down before she returned to the back of Eve's sit waiting for further orders.
"Thank you Oberon, Ophelia." Eve calmly thanked her assistants – they responded with a bow.
Raven reluctantly decided to join the gang for lunch, followed by Chung who rushed passed the dark haired avenger, much like Aisha. He beside Elsword, his smile not once disappearing from his face.
"Amazing! Mashed potatoes! My favorite!" Chung's happy expression was contagious. Even the brooder was tempted to crack a smile at Chung's excitement. Chung's long hair fluttered to his sides, occasionally brushing against his sleeveless white shirt and tight blue shorts.
Raven slipped next to Elsword, without a word. He didn't come to talk. He was rather enjoying his peaceful afternoon. He just wanted to eat and left. He noticed that his grey shirt and black pants were a bit ruffled and green. Probably from the grass.
"Alright, since everyone is here, dig in~" Rena smiled.
Before they could all dig into the bountiful feast that laid before them, there was a loud knocking at the front door. In that instant, everyone in the room sighed loudly. They all looked at each other for a moment before they picked Aisha to answer the door with their eyes.
Aisha sighed, groggily making her way to the door. "Who is it?"
She was a bit surprised about who she found at the door. "Oh! Ariel!"
"Hi everyone~!" Ariel smiled brightly, with a heart next to her as she waved. As she entered, everyone noticed that she was wearing her usual Cobo uniform. "I got a special message for all of you~."
Elsword made an even louder sigh as his face met with the table. "Let me guess. It's a mission. Not just any mission mind you. A super-urgent mission, in which, we have to save a village being attacked by a dark dragon of immense power and strength, right?"
"Oh~ Good guess Elsword! I'm sorry to disappoint but it's nothing urgent or anything like that."
"Then what is it?" Raven spoke with his usual cold tone.
"Well~ Since you guys have been super helpful to the company and our cause over the last few years~ We, of the Cobo company, have decided to let you go on a trip~! All expenses are on us of course."
"Oh. My. God! A trip? Just for us? Yaaaaaay!" Unable to control herself, Aisha grabbed Ariel's hand and began hopping up and down.
"Oh my! A trip!" Rena smiled sweetly. Just imagining it made her already great day all that more joyful. Wasn't she a happy elf?
"Hm. Humans seen to get excited over this kind of activity." Eve paused, processing what made everyone so excited. "It might be a good idea for me to analyze normal human behavior in a situation such as this one." Eve casually sipped a cup of tea that Ophelia made for her.
"Really? Finally! Some rest and relaxation-" Elsword noticed that Aisha was looking at him smugly. "I mean, oh, a trip. I guess we could use some R & R but its not like we really need it anyway." He turned away, hoping that Aisha didn't get a hold of the hot blush that spread across his face.
"It's honestly been a while since I've put down my sword. I suppose I could come along. I haven't a good trip in some time." Everyone turned to Raven with surprise spread across their faces. "What?"
"No. I didn't think you had it in you to talk for that long." Rena chuckled. Raven made a small grunt as he focused on his plate in front of him.
"All right then~!" Ariel held out small coupon sized paper towards the El Search Party. "These are your tickets. They are for the sole purpose of the V.I.P Cobo Bus that will get you to Velmond's Luxury Beach and Resort. And that's not all~"
"I pulled a few stings and managed to reserve the entire estate just for your guys~ You literally have the beach house and the beach all to yourselves!"
Despite the fact that they were in a secluded area, the people from the surrounding villages heard a random outburst of excited screaming and cheering coming from inside the forest.
"But what about you? I mean you've been with us all this time." Aisha interrupted the cheering for a short moment.
"Yeah, you should come along." Elsword added.
"What? I couldn't-"
"We insist." Rena jumped in.
"Oh boy. Fine, I'll talk to my boss and see if I can be your assistant or helper for the trip. How does that sound?"
"Perfect!"
Chung, who was busy stuffing his face, paused for a minute turning to his friends. "…did I miss something important?"
As the morning light shone through, every single member of the El Search Party was ready and rearing to leave for the beach. After 4 years of fighting evil dictators, giant robots, killer monsters and dark armies they never once had the chance to actually have fun like kids their age should. It was about time they acted their age and had some fun and relaxation.
Although, most of them weren't too relaxed at the moment. They couldn't get a wink of sleep at all during the night. They were too excited.
That very morning the El Party rushed to the nearest town to purchase all the necessary goods and items for their vacation. Since the beach umbrellas, chairs, and beach balls were already provided, the boys mainly bought swim trunks, sun glasses, extra clothes and a few other special items. Similarly the girls bought swimsuits, tanning oils and sun glasses.
Rena knew well about everyone's eating habits (especially Elsword and Aisha's) and thought ahead. She bought extra groceries, snacks and drinks just in case everyone got peckish if everyone got hungry if there wasn't enough food.
"Will that be all, Mam?" The clerk asked the cheery elf.
"Mmm," Rena searched the store one final time before she left. In that moment, two brands of cherry red drinks claimed her attention. "Oh, what are those?"
"Those two drinks are fairly new. I haven't had the chance to taste test any of them yet." The clerk walked up to the bottles. "One is Cherry Red Sparkle water and the other is…I'm not too sure."
"Rena if you don't hurry up we're going to leave you behind!" Aisha's voice squeaked.
"Ok~ I'll be right there." Rena replied almost immediately. "Just throw it in. It's better to have too much than too little."
The clerk smiled a bit and charged the elf. And with that she was off.
"Sorry I'm late everyone~ Just getting a few last things."
When she got to the destination point, she noticed that everyone was already dressed up for the beach. It wasn't just me then.
"Took you long enough." The first thing Rena noticed about Elsword's outfit was his sporty sunglasses. He wore a strapping red tank top, with a short crimson cap, straw sandals and short swim-trunks with small Phoru faces on it.
"Yeah, what were you buying anyway?" Aisha kept her hair up with twin ponytails spreading out at each side (Like Void Princess's hair). She had a pair of goggles strapped around her neck with the fuchsia dress she had on since morning along with coral bracelets and sandals. Her swimsuit was probably under it. (Not going for details here, it's a surprise, along with Rena and Eve~)
"Sorry, sorry. I was just buying some snacks and stuff." Her loose hair fell to her hips with her usual Grand Archer hairclips attached to the sides. Rena was very aware that her chest was practically bursting out of her green tank top but she didn't have time to change back into her casual wear in time! To make matters worse her shorts barely covered her thighs.
She had the added stress of everyone's eyes following her wherever she went for the entire day. Bah! These breasts! Grow smaller why don't you! (Don't you dare.)
"It's fine. The bus won't be here for another 10 minutes in the least." Eve had her full white dress again with a large beach hat, without any shoes nor any sandals. Close behind her were her trusty companions, Oberon and Ophelia, who were carrying her bags and personalized beach set and umbrella.
"10 minutes in this blazing hell sounds like torture." Raven tipped his beach hat forward in an attempt to escape the heat. Unlike everyone else, he didn't need anything fancy. He lugged his backpack over his shoulder, looking to his white shirt and black shorts for any dirt or ice-cream that he had been eating earlier. Simple, but he still looked cool.
"I feel fine though." The blue paladin licked his blueberry ice-cream cone cheerily, trying his best to keep it off his sky blue tank top and shorts. He didn't see why Raven was feeling so hot. Even without the ice-cream he felt fine. Or was that just his fire-resist passive?
The girls collectively turned their heads to face the blue knight for a moment before they looked to each other.
"…I don't know why but I feel like I lost...and there wasn't even a competition!" Aisha sighed, feeling a strange sense of defeat for one reason or another.
"Agreed." Eve spoke in her monotone fashion.
"Haha." Rena chuckled nervously.
"Hm?" Chung wondered why the girls were looking at him so strangely but passed it off as nothing as he enjoyed his cone. He would go on through his life without understand why the girls were so envious of him. He was oblivious to the fact that his feminine body was a dangerous weapon.
Within minutes a waving girl wearing the Cobo uniform entered their vision. It was Ariel.
"Hey guys~ Hope you didn't wait too long." Ariel smiled as she turned to introduce a rather large bus that was heading for them.
It was a large golden bus with unique designs of trees, a house and a woman with pink hair on the side. As if the bus wasn't fancy enough, the interior design looked like it was crafted for royalty! The party could have sworn the seats were made out of velvet. They were so plush and comfortable. There were even refreshments and snacks for the gang to enjoy.
Excited, everyone immediately took their seats and were ready to go.
"Are you guys ready for some fun in the sun?" Ariel brought her hand to the air as if cheering. Everyone joined in –except Raven.
"I talked to my boss and she agreed to letting me go with you guys. I mean, I really needed a vacation from that hell hold- I mean, exciting job of mine." She smiled sweetly, hoping that no one heard that little slip up.
"My name is Ariel and I'll be your assistance at the beach house. Please take care of me!" She bowed.
They were all pumped and ready. There were no monsters, no people to save and no village to worry about. This was going to be the time of their lives.
"This is going to be a long trip." Raven sighed, noticing how excited everyone was.
"Tell me about it." Elsword agreed.
"…I don't want to hear that from you…"
"What?"
Elsword was strapped from head to toe in beach gear.
