33.

scott sighed at the car, before opening the backseat door. he pulled his guitar case out from under his seat and strapped it onto his back.

he closed the car door once he was out of the car, before returning to the group. lizzie handed him his boogie board, and made sure to walk between both jimmy and scott. and because lizzie was doing that, so was joel.

once they got down to the beach, lizzie grabbed their towels and set them up. the guys rushed out to the water's edge, and stood there until the waves crashed into them, to test the temperature.

once they deemed it good enough to go into the water, they each waded out into the deep and jumped/dived under waves for quite a while.

after a bit, joel left them and returned to the towels, where lizzie was reading.

jimmy eventually popped up next to scott, and it was at that moment that the bluet noticed jimmy had fins and a tail.

the other's tail had a slight wag to it, though scott assumed that's how he was being kept afloat.

"hey scott!" he said, his voice bubbly. " 'm a cod!"

"i see that."

jimmy took a moment to think before he pulled scott underwater, and managed to create a pcoket of air for his head.

"cmon! i'm pretty sure there's a coral reef nearby!" jimmy explained, pulling scott's hand along.

"woah..." scott whispered, as they passed different kinds of tropical fish.

"cool, right?! i loved when i'd go to the beach as a kid, and then i'd end up scaring my adopted family when they couldn't find me."

"damn."

"mhm! and when they did, they kept on trying to tell me not to do it, but ten year old me never listened. and then they found lizzie last year and told her about me."

"hm."

"i'm happy they found her, or i wouldn't've met you."

"you probably would have, if you ever met lizzie through other means."

"but one of us would've been taken by now! or i could've became straight!"

"are you implying that i'll always be gay?"

"yes. you are the gayest person i know."

scott rolled his eyes as jimmy swam ahead, grabbing his hand and pulling him along.

"i can talk to cod, too, scott! i want you to meet this one cod friend i made! his name's sam! there's another one i met named alex, but he left after we met."

scott chuckled, before a light brown swam forward towards jimmy. he assumed that they spoke for a moment, before jimmy motioned for scott to wave, which the bluet did.

the cod swam around scott before facing jimmy again and leaving.

"he likes you!"

"how are you speaking-?"

"telepathy! and bubbles!"

"oh."

"mhm! now, we should probably get back before lizzie thinks you drowned."

"yeah."

the two surfaced above the waves and the two of them swam to the shore. they went towards the towels, where lizzie was watching joel dig a hole. jimmy went over and joined him while scott went to dry off.

"hey, scott?"

"yeah, lizzie?"

"there's a bonfire later on tonight, do you guys want to go?"

"i'm up for it. is it alright if i bring my guitar to play?"

"sure. are you going to play now?"

"yeah. just the beginning of a song i like to warm up to. it was one of the first ones i learned to play."

"then go ahead and play."

scott nodded and grabbed his guitar, taking it out of its case. he strummed a few times before tuning the instrument. and then he began to play the first few notes/chords of the song heather, by conan gray.

"i still remember, third of december" he hummed quietly, as he played through the soft song.

"hey, scott? do you take requests?" joel asked, looking towards

"yeah, sure. if i know the song."

"what about the song oh ana, by mother mother?"

"i just learnt it. give me a moment."

scott took a moment to look through the sheets of paper in his guitarcase, before finding one labelled 'oh ana, m.m.'

he took another moment to get the first chord and then he started playing.

"i'll be god," he murmured to himself, trying to ground himself into the song. once he was finished, he chuckled. "i've been trying to get better at that song for a bit now. i know quite a few mother mother songs."
