"Letter?" She asked, before carelessly shrugging that off with a grin.
"Want to go swimming then?" Shenzi laughed again, standing up from the towel and holding her hand out for Cody. "The water looks too inviting to pass it up."

"It's something I do every year. Otherwise my parents would just give me stupid things as socks for christmas"
The mentioning of his parents casted a shadow over his mood, specially mentioning something as dear as christmas
It would be the first time he'd celebrate it without them. A family holiday with his family. That alone was enough to bring tears to his eyes, even after 6 months of trying to overcome the loss
But he accepted Shezi's invitation without a word. He just took her hand and nodded, trying to rub the tears away from his face

She saw his eyes get watery, and she immediately regretted having said anything. Kneeling down, she gave him a hug, smiling comfortingly and producing a hankerchief from somewhere. "Here... I miss my parents too. I'm half american, and half Czech, and my foreign side is the one that believes in family ties, so it's been kinda hard for me too. My American blood doesn't care, but my Czech blood wants them back."
Shaking her head, she gave him another smile, before standing up and gently pulling him towards the water. "Here, lets have fun, see if we can't make you forget for an hour at least."

For a split second Cody was a bit confused by that reaction. He didn't know if he should repel or just hug back
In the end he just let himself fall in that warm feeling and burried his face in her shoulder for a moment, taking the hankerchief to push those stubborn tears away. He just hated feeling loely all the time
"Thanks...." He returned the hankerchief with half a smile on his face, right before he ran like mad towards the water
"Last one in is a rotten egg!!"

Shenzi laughed, tossing the little square of fabric carelessly onto the towel, before running after him. She had to think when she moved, to keep her knees bent more when she ran, so she didn't fall over, but she made it to the water a few seconds after him, letting herself fall into the sand and the warm tropical waves. "I'd better not be an egg; a berry's more like it!" She said, laughing still.

Cody was already underwater, swimming around her. But he could hear her distorced voice and emerged his head
"Berry!?"

She giggled, grinning as she stood in the water, shaking her hair out. Damp strands stuck to her forehead and neck, but she was laughing. "Berry! I'm a blueberry!" Shenzi said, tugging on her loose braids, the blue vivid against the teal-green colors water.

"Why?"
Cody wasn't really getting it. Why was she talking about blueberries?

She grinned again, ducking under the water for a moment before resurfacing. "Mm, cus I've got blue hair. So that's why I'm a blueberry." Flicking her hair back from her face, she kicked her legs, going into the deeper water.

"Ah! Now I get it"
Cody submerged again and only with a couple of tail kicks he got way further that Shenzi
"Hey! Isn't Shenzi the name of that hiena in Lion King?"

Shenzi grinned again, laughing under her breath as she moved her arms under the water, swimming slowly after him. "Mmm-hm. My two friends call themselves Banzai and Ed, and we've got a band called the Hyenas."

She shrugged, but she looked thoughtful. I don't know, really. The symbols of my Czech side are the lion and the eagle, so that might be why." Which was something she was still pissed at Sabin for, though she still hadn't seen him since he brought her here. "Did they give you a reason for turning you into a dolhpin?" Shenzi asked pointedly.

"That makes sense"
Cody pondered what would be the reasons behind the other islanders he knew
"Oh? Yeah, Aubrey said it would help cure my MS. Don't know why exactly though"

"MS?" She asked, frowning as she tread water. "What's MS?"
Ignoring another name she didn't immediately recognize, she thought about it. "Well, they're changing your body, so I guess it makes sense that whatever's wrong with it would fix itself."
