Well, this'll be the last chapter of Bad Vacations. I really want this to be a short story as I can't think of any more ideas and school just started for me. So, here's what happens when you have three apprentices and their master take a vacation to Hawai'i.

Bad Vacations: Surfing Fails

Last year before Terra and Aqua took the Mark of Mastery Exam, July 1st…

After another long month of nonstop training, Master Eraqus decided to take the apprentices on another vacation. When Terra and Aqua heard about it, they yelled, "NO!"

"Why not?" the master asked, sitting on his throne in the throne room.

"Well, the last time, we were abducted by aliens!" Terra yelled.

"And the time before that, we were nearly mauled to death by bears!" Aqua added.

"Well, I am sure nothing will go wrong this time. Ventus is to pick the vacation," Master Eraqus told them.

"Yes!" Ven said, happily jumping up.

"Oh no…" Terra muttered.

After hours of mental deliberation, Ven thought to head to a place called Hawai'i on the planet Earth. The two elder apprentices sighed, knowing the place was safe. Sadly, they didn't know all the craziness that would happen when they arrived.

Hawai'ian Islands, Oahu…

After checking into the hotel and surprisingly not having any incidents, Ven thought to head to the beach for surfing. Terra thought it was a good idea and followed. Aqua, still on edge, stayed in the room. Eraqus, however, left to see the Hawai'ian Museum of History.

Once out on the beach, Ven and Terra rented surf boards and went out to sea. Once they were there, the two apprentices caught waves, riding on them and having fun. What they didn't notice was a fin of a particular creature heading straight for them.

Ven was the first to noticed and clung onto his board for dear life. "T-Terra…" he said.

Terra turned around and saw the fin heading for them. "Aah! Swim! Swim for your life!" he screamed, paddling.

"Swim away! Swim away! Swim like a boss! Swim like a boss! Swim like a boss!" Ven said, paddling to shore.

The two kept swimming and the finned creature didn't let up. Manning up, if you could call it that, Terra stopped, turned around and yelled, "I'm not scared! I'm not scared at all! Bring it on!"

When the creature jumped out of the water, Terra saw that it was a dolphin. The dolphin, mad at Terra, smacked him in the face with its tailfin. "Ow! You backstabbing, son of a…!" Terra yelled at it.

He then went back to paddling for his life to shore when he saw a shark come out of the water. "GAAH!" he screamed, paddling.

Once the two were back on shore, Terra yelled, "I'm sick of this crap!"

He started crying and yelled, voice cracking, "I'm sick of this freakin' crap! I did nothing…"

"We were just minding our business…gah…sniff…" Ven said, sniffling.

After the failed surfing incident with a shark, the boys decided to head back to the room. They told Aqua about it and she laughed. The three then decided to go to the Grand Canyon for next year's vacation, to avoid anymore incidents. Sadly, that was the last vacation the apprentices and their master took.
