Chapter 7: At the Beach.

The sun was shining brightly as Dash and Mirage walked outside and felt the surge of summer heat.

"Whoo, that's heat!" Mirage said.

Suddenly, Dash got an idea.

"Hey, Mirage, what say we go to the beach today?" Dash asked.

Mirage smiled, "That sounds nice." she said.

Later, Dash and Mirage had set their towels and chairs on the beach and ran into the ocean.

"Now this is much nicer!" Mirage said as she swam around.

"You said it!" Dash said as he drifted beside her.

The two of them swam for a while before they decided to go get some ice cream. Mirage even shared a scoop of her chocolate when Dash dropped his. The two then went back to the beach and went water-skiing, with Dash on Mirage's shoulders. Afterwards, they swam until sunset, when they decided to go home. They stopped by a souvenir shop called Oceanside, where Dash got a few toy sharks and a Jaws/Deep Blue Sea Blu-Ray combo pack while Mirage got herself a new bathing suit.

On the way home, Dash said, "Thanks for taking me to the beach, Mirage."

Mirage smiled, "You're very welcome, Dash." she said.
