Ch1 :

Alanna had her wet suit up to her waist. She softly let her foot lay on the stair. She held her surf board in her right arm as she adjusted her black bikini top strap with her left , and made it to the bottom of the step only letting a single creak leak out of the last step. Alanna looked at the clock on the wall, it was 6:15 in the morning. She passed into the living room to see her father pissed drunk-passed out on a recliner with his limp hand holding an empty rum bottle. There were a series of info-mercials on the T.V. Alanna sighed softly, and gently grabbed her skateboard from next to the door, and stepped into the dark morning air. It wasn't even light outside yet, and Alanna could tell it was going to be a gloomy morning. She softly walked down the steps of her porch, still trying to be quiet so her dad wouldn't wake up, and chase her out the door. Her bare feet touched the ground, and she adjusted her anklet , then took off down the street with her wet suit still half on revealing her black bikini top with white and yellow flower designs on the left breast. She took in the air that flowed through her long wavy brown hair as she held the surfboard still under her right arm. The force of the wind made it harder to carry the already heavy board, but Alanna tightened her grip on the board, and switched it to her left arm, and smacked the hoods of cars with her right hand, and making rackets until she got down to the pier.

The Pier...She thought about all the good memories, that she and the boys had. Just riding waves, goofing off, and kicking out Vals, and other non-locals. It had taken her twenty minutes to get down to the pier, and she was right, it was a gloomy morning, but the sun peeked though some of the dark clouds here, and them. She skated down and around some of the broken wood, and passed some Mexicans that looked like they belonged to a gang. It reminded Alanna of how Tony would always 'Us Mexicans have to stick together' in a time where Sid was poking fun at her and Tony. There was always what Alanna would have to say after that...

"Dude, I'm not Mexican. I'm Columbian."

Most of the time Tony would reply by saying 'Same Shit', or 'Whatever Man.'

Alanna laughed as she caught a glimpse of the guys. She rounded a corner and saw Tony, Stacy, and Joy wearing their wet suit like her. Up to the waist.

"Hey," Alanna said stopping and stepping of her board. She walked up to them, and exchanged handshakes, she then put the surf board, and the skateboard down. She walked over to the guys as they watched over to the guys as they watched the waves crash really hard against some on the boards of the pier,"How's the swell?" she asked adjusting her wet suit.

"Not that nice today, dude get ready to get bashed," Stacy said to Alanna as he watched her gaze out to the water.

"Yeah, so speaking of beat up...What the hell happened to your arm man?" Jay spoke up jerking his head so a strand of his blonde hair got out of his eye. Alanna always loved his hair, it had the washed out surfer look to it that Alanna loved. She's loved it ever since she was little and it was longer. He would have shit fits when his mom trimmed it, but now he likes it because he doesn't look like Stacy. Alanna leaned over and looked at Tony's gashed arm that was slightly bleeding.

"Ouch," Alanna said still looking at the cut. Tony looked at it and flinched as he touched it,"Dude are you sure you wanna surf with that today?"

"Yeah the water will wash it off," Tony said shrugging it off, and looking out onto the water.

"Yeah but the salt and shit from the water can give you an infection," Stacy pointed out to Tony.

"Look Joey high school, I'll be fine I'll have the wet suit," Tony said still not getting the point.

"Yeah, dude it's called a wet suit because you still get wet in it," Jay said smirking over at Tony.

"Drop it man!" Tony said forcefully as Alanna, Jay, and Stacy began to snicker a little. Tony sighed, he wasn't gonna win, but he was still going surfing today.

"How'd you get that anyway man?" Alanna asked hoisting up the wet suit again.

"Fell off in the street and slid against some rocks," Tony said admiring the cut as if it was a trophy of victory. Alanna laughed a little at Tony's facial expressions, and shivered. It was cold, and the wind chill must've been low. She rubbed her arms, to try and get warm, but couldn't stop wondering how cold the water must be. Alanna was about to say how cold it was when they all saw someone surfing the cold water.

"It's Skip," Jay pointed out, even though the person was far out of eyesight. As he came somewhat closer, they realized he was right. His style was so specific. Up and over, but he did it with a twist. He basically jumped over a wave with the board still on his feet.

"Shit dude," Jay said from Alanna's left looking at the three of them. They had eyebrows raised.

Tony took a deep breath,"Let's get to work bros," he said looking pumped.

"Yeah maybe if we do all Skip's shit we'll actually get into the water this time," Alanna retorted as she turned around and got the bucket not far from her board. She walked off picking up random beer bottles that Skip and his friends leave behind from their drunken surf raids. Jay watched her walk off. She bent down to pick up a bottle, and Jay gulped. He soon felt a hand collide with that back of his head.

"Let's go man!" Tony said grabbing the other bucket, and beginning to pick up things, "Stop Daydreaming dude," Tony said picking up another piece of bottle. Jay ran after him and pushing him to the ground and running off laughing. Tony just laughed and got up knowing he was going to kick Jay's ass later.

Stacy slowly hobbled his way into the freezing water. Goose bumps ran over him as his body began submerged by an overcoming wave. His head popped up from the water and he shrieked.

"Stace you okay?" he heard Alanna yell from the pier above him, she held the bucket at her side and her hand was softly placed on the railing as she leaned over a little looking down to a soaked Stacy.

"Yeah, when you get to surf...be prepared," Stacy yelled back up to her. Alanna laughed a little as her body disappeared.

"Be careful,"He heard her yell. He smiled she may have come off as a little edgy on the outside but on the inside Alanna had a heart of gold for the ones she cared for.

Alanna walked around picking up random bottles and joint residue.

'Damn Pot Heads,' Alanna laughed to herself.

Jay watched as the parking lot only consisted of two blue cars. Bored, Jay picked up a little pebble and threw it at one of the blue cars. The windshield cracked a bit. He laughed, now fully entertained with himself.

"Hey Jayboy," he heard someone speak out from behind him. He turned around to see Alanna putting the bucket on the ground and sitting down across from him, "What's up with you man, you seem all mellow this morning. It's not you."

"Nah, I just need to get in the water you know?" Jay said giving Alanna's arm a playful punch. Alanna smiled.

"Tony said he's gonna kick you ass later for pushing him over," Alanna said with a smile on her face. It reminded her of how many fights Tony and Jay would get in because they were just kidding. One of them would always come out of it with a bruise, or a gash somewhere.

"Yeah, sure man. He takes everything too seriously," Jay said rolling his eyes as he yanked on the handle of the bucket Alanna had with bottles and other random garbage in it. He pulled harder and harder,"He'll get over it," Jay said, and with a large crack sound the handle of the bucket ripped off. Alanna looked at him with an eyebrow raised he began to try and bend the metal handle. Alanna laughed rolling her eyes towards the parking lot where she saw a blue Chevy Camaro pull in and park in the parking lot.

"Fouls," Alanna said to herself and got up, Jay looked up and watched her run to get her board, and make her way down to the parking lot/sand. Jay looked to the parking lot and saw the guys.

"What's going on?" Tony asked looking at Alanna as she grabbed her board, and walked around some of the broken pier wood.

"Vals dude you know the drill," Alanna said disappearing. Tony stabled this information in his head and ran over to the edge of the pier where he could see Skip, and the guys. They all looked up at him as he loudly whistled.

"VALS!" he yelled down to them and walked off.

"What the fuck?" Tony heard someone yell.

...Alanna stuck her board in the ground, and began to zipper up her wet suit. She saw the two guys with boards come into her view. She looked at them as they turned they're head to see her. She winked at them both, and walked off. She could hear them calling her as she walked to the water with her board and began to paddle out in the water towards Skip, and everyone. She could hear the guys paddling behind her. She smiled.

Jay walked over to the blue Chevy Camaro as he saw the two guys beginning to follow after Alanna into the water. He quickly made his way over to the hood. Jay opened the hood and put the holders up to hold it up. He looked around the inside. The first thing he saw was the carburetor, and he quickly began to detach it from the rest of the car.

"Go Back to the Valley kooks!" Alanna heard Tony yell from atop the pier. She continued to paddle over to skip, feeling a pang of pain in her arm muscle. She stopped next to skip and the guys and sat on her board looking at the guys.

"Are you guy lost...or what?" Skip asked in his drunken slur-y voice.

"This is private," someone threw out from behind Alanna.

"You're not the law man!" the blonde one of the guys retorted.

"Get out of here, you kooks!" someone else yelled from next to Alanna.

"No," the other one of the two said. Alanna watched as Jay paddled up to her with one hand holding something. He stopped next to her. He just popped into the conversation.

"Do you guys have like a blue Chevy Camaro?" he asked giving Alanna a slight smile.

"Yeah, maybe we do," the guy said looking at looking at Alanna suspiciously. Jay then lifted up the carburetor and dropped it in the water. The whole gang began to laugh, and Skip reached over to ruffle Jay's long hair.

"HEY! That's my carburetor! " the blonde exclaimed going to reach for it, but before he could a huge black rock fell on his board breaking it in two. The whole gang looked up to see Tony dropping more and more rocks into the water, as the group began to cheer him on. The two men turned around on their boards and began to paddle away. Alanna laughed and turned around on her board, and began to paddle towards the pier as the sun finally began to shine alone...

Alanna and Stacy skated down an alley as fast as they could, they turned a corner so sharp that Alanna almost fell backwards.

"Having trouble there Lanna?" Tony said racing past her. Stacy and Alanna bet Tony and Jay they could beat them to the Zephyr shop. Right now Stacy, and Tony were neck, and neck, and weren't giving up. Alanna and Jay skated freely behind the two. Alanna looked over at Jay, and motioned her eyes over to Tony and Stacy. Alanna mouthed 'trip' to Jay and he smiled, and nodded his head.

Alanna and Jay picked up speed and got in front of Stacy, and Tony, and slipped on their boards to the ground. Stacy, and Tony couldn't stop so they ended up flying over Jay and Alanna. Jay and Alanna laughed high-fiving each other and getting up on their boards, and speeding off towards the shop laughing like hyenas. Stacy and Tony wasted no time catching up to Alanna and Jay who had just reached the shop.

Jay skated passed a bench, snatching a hat off an old man and placing it on his head, and he picked up his skateboard and walked into the Zephyr shop behind Alanna.

"SID!" Alanna yelled as she entered the shop. He jumped a little and almost lost his balance. Jay laughed at him,"Sorry dude, forgot about the equlibranium thingy."

"Equilibrium," Sid corrected her. She rolled her eyes, and walked over to him.

"Whatever, dude you ever think about getting a doctor to go up there...hey Skip," Alanna said picking up a yellow skateboard wheel she's never seen before as she waved to Skip as he walked in from the back of the shop,"...Anyway, and like checking out that problemoo?"

"Doctor says it's just a problem they can't fix...check this out man," Sid said as Tony and Stacy walked in the door, he held up the yellow wheel,"They're Urethane, they come from oil...and they grip."

"Wow," Stacy said while holding it up for them all to look at. Tony snatched the wheel from Stacy's hand, took the other wheels on the counter and ran to the backroom. Stacy, Jay, and Alanna followed suit, along with Sid trailing behind. Tony switched the wheels, and Skip came up and grabbed the board from him, walking out towards the skating area. Jay pushed Tony out the other door, and Stacy, Sid and Alanna followed holding they're plain boards, as they ran up to a fence and jumped to climb over it. They ran up to Skip who was standing on top of a picnic table holding the skateboard that Tony put the Urethane wheels on high above everyone's heads. Tony, and Stacy hopped atop the table and begin to fight with Biniak, and Muir to get the board. Alanna and Jay stood back and watched they all fight like rabid dogs. Tony snatched the board and hopped off the picnic table. Dropping the board on the ground, and riding it like it was a surf wave. His turns were smooth, but sharp and mellow. Alanna raised her eyebrows. Tony came back and Biniak stole the board...but nobody was watching him.

"Hey Alanna!" Alanna turned her head as she heard someone call her name. There stood Tyler Madena, the surfer that Alanna had a crush on since last year when she was 15 during the summer. Tony, Jay, and Stacy turned around. Jay say Tyler and immediately rolled his eyes. Tony, and Stacy watched as Alanna walked over to Tyler. But Stacy was quickly lost when he gained sight on Kathy Alva. Jay saw her and looked over at Alanna who was talking with Tyler...

Two can play that game...
