The sun shines bright over their heads, hands dug into sand as people ran around.

     “I told you I was going to get you ice cream the next time I go the chance!” Katie smirks holding the spoon to Yukiko’s lips who takes a bite. Shaking her head, she takes her own spoon and holds it out to Katie who takes her bite.

     “You did Watashi no ai. You certainly did.” Looking out onto the pier Remy and Milo lean against it. Talking about anything and everything as people passed. Below them in the sands is Alex, Lucy, Rico, and their newest addition Morris who run around.

     “Papa! Papa! Guess what?” Alex cheers throwing his arms out, a clip keeping his bangs from his eyes. Morris stops behind him out of breath.

     “Yes?” Rico questions, looking behind them to the large sandcastle that Alex quickly motioned too.

     “Come look! Come look!” He grabs Rico’s arm pulling him from the towels as he throws a side glance to Lucy who busts out laughing.

     Within the water Lilith moved to and fro her tail coming up every so often to show Henry where she is as he walks the shoreline. His boa sliding beside him as the water pulls and pushes the sand beneath them.

     “Better than a monster-controlled cult any day…” Henry mumbles as he is plucked off the shore and thrown into the water. Resurfacing to see a hysterical Remy who is ducked down behind the dock. “REMY, I SWEAR I’M GOING-” Henry shouts feeling arms wrap around his middle which cut him off.

     “What where you saying?” Lilith asks, tilting her head as Henry turns his towards her.

     “N-nothing!” His face a bright red as she smiles and plants a kiss on his cheek.

     “Good.” With that, they float among the waves.

     “A wonderful sight to see.” Lucy smiles as Rico returns shaking his head of sand as he takes a seat.

     “Next time I choose the vacation spot.” He chuckles planting a kiss on her lips before being tackled by Alex. Who is pulled off by Morris.

     “Sorry couldn’t stop him.” He says holding Alex against his chest.

     “No need my boy. Today will be one of many like this.” Lucy says as Morris lets Alex go and he tackles her. Kissing his forehead, he hugs her tight.

     The day slowly ended, at least for now. With bounds unbroken and new additions. They continued to round the world, showing their knowledge and power with those who wished.

     Within the shelves their story ends, the light dimming and tired eyes falling.

     The final glow of crystals upon a high-rise shelf shining brightly. Darkened eyes watching them as they stride to entrance, and with a wave of there arms the bellowing voice announces.

     “WELCOME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! TO THE MONSTRÉ CIRCUS!”
