Izzy was up among the rocks surrounding the lighthouse, searching in crevasses and tide pools for creatures to force to live in the sand castle she planned to make when Zach arrived. Daddy had called Zach's mommy perhaps an hour before and made plans for a playdate now that Zach was big too, and had gone to see his egg.
They were going to have fun, Izzy decided. The kind that big kids like them had.

Zach puffed and jumped out of the car, racing up towards the lighthouse. "IZZY IZZY-" He called, a happy bundle of energy. Izzy, where were you?
His guardian followed at a much more leisurely pace.

"ZACH!"
Izzy climbed easily down the rocks, a bucket of sandy critters in one hand. She wore a yellow-and-white striped tie bikini (style was all she could seem to fit her shell in) and no shoes. What good were shoes when your feet were sticky?!
Henri turned and waved from the beach chair he was sunning himself on. It was afternoon on a weekday, so there were very few others on the beach at all, and none had come too close to the lighthouse.

Zach barreled over to the girl and hugged her. Yay! "It's good to see you! I've missed you!"
Rene ambled over, plopping down by Henri and giving him a nod. Sup!

Henri grabbed a folded beach chair that sat beside him and popped it open easily.
"For you, mademoiselle," he smirked, gesturing to it for Rene.
"Me too!" Izzy yelped, "Lookit your hair! It's so cool!"

Zach spun a bit of his hair around a finger. It was just hair! "Thanks." He said, smiling. Yay! "What're we gonna do today?"
"My night in shining armor." Rene said, sitting in the chair. "Sup?"

"Let's make a castle!" Izzy chirped, "Daddy bought me a whole lotta new buckets so we can make one HUGE and the tide isn't coming in for a long time now!" Indeed, the whole place smelled a bit of low tide.
"Pfft, nothing," Henri smiled, settling back again, "and you?"

"Kay!" Zach said, nodding. "Lets get the buckets, and we can make a really big castle."Anything was fine with him.
Rene shrugged. "Eh, not much here either." She said. "Zach's a hyper little ******** now."

Izzy nodded, but rather than running inside she ran down to the beach where she had already made a station for them. She had been planning this for the hour after the phone call, and she was excited. She twisted her bucket into the sand and pointed to the shore.
"The really wet sand is the best, as long as it's not TOO wet." That being said, she went to retrieve some from between the wetness high tide left behind and the dry sand.
Henri arched a brow as he turned to Rene, and that was the only sign of emotion on his face.
"In a good way or a bad way?"

"You know more about buildin' castles than me." Zach said, following her lead. Yaaay~
"Eh." Rene shrugged. "In an 'I'm alive' way, I guess?"

Izzy began packing sand into buckets and upturning them, creating the beginnings of what would certainly be a fantastic castle. A baby octopus began clamoring up the sides of the water bucket.
"Did you see your egg?" she asked then, "What kind did you get?!"
"Oh, good," Henri nodded, settling back again, "That's the best kind of hyper, I think."

"A belthore." Zach said, following her lead. Castle! "He's gonna be awesome, and I have a picture for my special box of him."
"Eh." Rene shrugged, flapping her top set of wings. "He's still a little s**t, but I love him, yenno?"

Izzy stopped suddenly, eyes going wide as dishes and mouth falling open.
"ME TOO!" she yelped. She even had a picture for HER special box, which wasn't so much a box as a diary.
Henri chuckled lightly.
"Oh, indeed."

Zach grinned. OMG, yay! "They'll be best friends," Zach assured her. Yay!
"Psh, you don't love him, and your little one is a princess." Rene teased him.
