"Yeah... I'm glad we come out here," said Randy.

Little Randy leaned back into Randy VIII's chest, "Can we go again next year daddy?"

"You bet, sugar." He kissed her head and held her in his arms, feeling more content than he had all day.

She snuggled into him, "I love you Daddy,"

Randy VIII grinned. "I love you, too, punkin."

As the weather grew warm Lily decided that a beach trip was in order, she had Kelly help her pack some things and they headed to the shore together, "It's nice to do things like this together, she commented,"

Kelly smiled. "Yeah..." It had been a long time since he'd gone to the beach. He'd never enjoyed it much, but as long as he was with Lily, it wasn't so bad.

She took his clawed hand in hers and hummed cheerfully as she lead him to a spot on the sand.

Kelly walked alongside her, cast in shadows with his hair floating behind him. A few families scurried to pack their children and towels and find somewhere far away to sit.

"It's so nice and sunny out!" Lily said as she gave a stretch, "I could use more days like this!"

Kelly curled his lip. "I'm not the biggest fan. It's not as bad now that I got my shadows, though."

Lily kissed his cheek, "Well I think you look sexy in your bathing suit," she said.

Kelly snorted. "Yer full of it," he said, though he smiled and gave her a peck on the lips.

She wiggled against him, "Well you look good to me if nothing else!"

He grinned and ran his claws gently through her hair. "You always look good to me," he replied. "You just keep gettin' pertier."

She gave him a kiss, "Don't I know it!"
