"My white string bikini?" Keavy said with a smile, remembering the look on her friends faces when she first wore the bikini.

Totally inane ide, right? Absolutely! Which means we > have to do it. You guys agree right? Right?" "Absolutely!" Keavy exclaimed, her eyes as wide as her smile. "You know darn well that I am always ready for a party, especially a Beach party. Sometimes you do come up with a good idea or two. The law of averages I guess." She tapped her knuckles lightly on Terrys head. > [OOC: I've added Chance-isms in a couple places, FYI.] [G: Chance-isms?] > Jory , who had been leaning back, merely watching, finally spoke. > "Beach Party?

"That sounds like fun too. Oh but how often do you get a chance to party in the MacAllen caves? Then again it is not everyday that you get use of a Trid stars penthouse. Why pick one or the other.
