"Bye mom. Steve, Mark and I are leaving!" a pre-teen Fox shouted up the 
stairs.

"Where are you boys going?" his mother yelled back.

"Where are we going?" Fox urgently whispered to his friends, needing an 
answer for his mother.

"The beach?" Steve asked.

"We went to the beach last time you moron," Mark said harshly.

"Doesn't matter," Fox told them, quickly diffusing the situation. "The 
beach!" he shouted back to his mother.

"Okay, have fun. Be home for dinner," his mother advised. "And wear 
sunscreen."

"We will mom," he said, rolling his eyes. The trio headed towards the door.

"Wait Fox wait! Wait for me!" Samantha called as she skipped down the stairs.

"What Sam?" he asked, agitated. They'd never get anywhere at this rate.

"I wanna go to the beach too," she squealed.

"No Sam." Fox stated, turning back to the door.

"But Fox," she whined. "I wanna go to the beach too." She pouted, tears 
forming in her eyes.

Fox sighed. If she started crying they'd never leave. Sam," he kneeled down 
so his face was level with hers. "I'll take you to the beach tomorrow 
morning, okay?"

"Promise?" she sniffled.

"I promise," Fox reassured.

"Pinkie swear?" Samantha asked.

"Pinkie swear," he confirmed as they shook pinkies. "I'll take you first 
thing after breakfast."

"Okay Fox," Samantha told him, running back up the stairs and to her room.

Fox got up and he and his friends finally left the house, making their way to 
the abandoned shed they had found last week along the creek near Steve's 
house.
