[PRP] Beach Buddies (Coast, Riptide Jewel)

[PeterPan_da144]

Sandbar and Serene had given Coast the day off from work and with his new-found free time, he was going to take the day to relax, get some surfing in, and then have a beach bonfire while making some vegetable kabobs.

It was going to be perfect. Or at least he hoped that it would. At this time in the year the beach was usually swarming, which made him very happy that he had his own beach-house so that he could relax by himself on his own property rather than having to deal with the crowd of ponies that he knew would be swarming around the beach and keeping the shop busy.

He carefully cleaned his surfboard, preparing it for the day ahead, and made sure that he had plenty of food for the day. He didn't want to come back from surfing just to find he needed to go out and do some shopping.

He looked out into the water and took a deep breath of the fresh air. He would never understand why other ponies wanted to be in crowded towns so badly. Fresh air was so much better. But... he could see something off in the distance. He just wasn't sure what it was. But he could tell that it had... fins? Was it another pony? He waved one of his hooves in the air, trying to get their attention. "Hey, you okay out there?" He wanted to make sure that they were there on purpose instead of lost. Or trying to get on his property without his permission.

Riptide Jewel was wandering. He had no idea where he was, nor where he was going. He just wandered. Along the coastlines and beaches. The sights were beautiful, though whenever he saw ponies, he had a tendency to just keep to the depths.

Without really thinking, he had drifted closer to the surface of the water, fins peeping out slightly here and there. He could slightly hear a voice, making him pause in the water. Slowly, he lowered his body, though he let his head shift upwards a bit. Bangs slicked back away from his face, horns rising from the water as well. He stared at the pony on the beach who seemed to be calling towards him. An Earth pony? Or a Pegasus? Either way, he was not a Dragon or Aquatic, and that was good enough for Riptide. Though he wouldn't get close either way.

Coast couldn't tell if the pony had seen him and wasn't interested, or if the other pony hadn't seen him. Either way, he was going to check it out. Using a bit of magic he levitated the surfboard into the water and climbed up on it, swimming out until he got where he had last seen the other pony.

"Hey! Anypony out here?" Of course if the other didn't answer, he would look a bit longer to make sure that nothing was wrong, and if he couldn't find the other or found them and they were fine but just didn't want to talk, then he was okay with going about his day and surfing like he had planned. He could have sworn that he saw something though.
