(OOC: I was going to have my long overdue party in the Hall's rec room, but figured I'd make it board wide instead, so any other members who aren't yet sidekicks might come out of hiding! Everybody come on to the beach with us and have some fun!)
"Do you think anyone will come to the party, amor?" Dona said as she finished setting up the tiki bar.
"Ah..how could they not? You are known for throwing great parties, cariña.. " Juan answered with a smile as he tossed a beach ball her way.
Dona caught it with a grin and tossed it back to him. Finally, everything was set up.. the beach volley ball net, the tiki bar(with both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks of course), the food, the music, even wood set up for a bon fire later..everything was ready.
"Whew..that sun is hot, "Dona said as she wiped sweat off her brow..
Juan chuckled, but said nothing. Instead he grabbed her and threw her up on his shoulder, and ran like crazy towards the ocean..
"Gahhh..NOOOOO.." Dona screamed with mock horror as he ran into the water and dunked her. She came up sputtering and laughing, and held on to him... "Juan, that was a dirty trick!"
"But you did say you were hot, si?" He teased as he kissed her nose..."Didn't the water cool you off?"
Dona just grinned and decided she wouldn't answer that question as she gave him a knowing wink.

DeeDee pulled on some shorts & a camisole whilst scowling at Gilbert. "Come on Gilbert, take that apron off and put some summery clothes on!"
Gilbert sighed and started to change. "You know i have to back by 10 to give Arnie his bath right?" He tied his red hair into a ponytail and did a twirl. "Better?"
DeeDee grinned. "Much better!" She grabbed Gilbert by hand and pulled him in the direction of the beach.
They both laughed as they saw DonaM & Juan frolicking in the ocean. "Anyone for volley ball!" DeeDee shouted!

"George, hurry up!" Illy shouted from downstairs. She had finished putting on sunscreen and was waiting for George to finish getting dressed. A few seconds later he appeared at the top of the stairs. "Alright, I'm ready," he said annoyed. He grabbed the sunscreen and put it on quickly. "You take forever to get ready sometimes, you know, and I don't rush you. The rare time you finish getting ready before me, you always freak right out" he said rolling his eyes. "Sorry, I'm just excited," Illy said quietly. "George, I know it was hard for us to be apart for three weeks, but..." she began. "Three and a half," he snapped. Illy jumped, surprised at the anger in his voice. "I had to unpack and everything. I came on as soon as I could. I meant to yesterday, but I got a bit sidetracked," she finished sheepishly. "Right. Well, aren't you dying to go to the beach. Let's go already." He threw the sunscreen and headed out the door. Illy stood there, not understanding what had just happened. She rushed out the door after George. She had to walk at a fast pace just to keep up with him. "If you don't want to go, we don't have to go." "We're already dressed and we're nearly there." In a couple minutes they reached the beach. Illy went over to talk to DeeDee and Dona M while George went for a swim. "Hi everyone!" she said grabbing a drink, trying to be cheery.

"Hi Illy!" Dona said, waving, as she and Juan walked up towards the volley ball net. She could tell that something was the matter even though her friend was clearly trying to be cheerful. She bit her lip and then decided, if Illy wanted to talk to her she would.
"Hey, Dee Dee! Serve the ball already!" She shouted playfully from the other side of the volley ball net.

Illy ducked out of the way as a ball nearly bonked her over the head.
She watched her friends playing volleyball for a bit and laughed when Juan dove for the ball and got sand all over himself. She turned and looked out near the ocean and saw a tiny figure swimming far away.
What has gotten into him, she thought. Something seemed to be bothering him and he wasn't his usual playful self.
Illy sat and thought about his strange mood. She came to the conclusion that it must've been something that happened while she was away. She remembered the day she said goodbye to him and he was definitely himself. The day she arrived however, he had seemed a little moody and today he was extremely cranky.
Hmm, I'll ask the girls if they saw anything fishy while I was gone, she thought. Just then she heard someone shout, "Heads up!!" She looked up and a volleyball smacked her in the head as she was about to drink. The contents of the cup were all over her and the cup fell to the floor.
She sighed, "Today is just not my day."

Dona ran and grabbed the ball from where it had landed and walked over to Illy..
" Sorry I hit the ball and the wind caught it. Didn't mean to hit you....hey, are you ok?" She looked at her friend with slight concern. Then her eyes followed Illy's gaze to see George down at the water's edge, standing by himself. She wondered what could be going on, but she also wasn't one to pry. She figured if Illy wanted to tell her what was wrong, she would.

"I'm ok," she said. Illy thought about asking Dona M about George. She opened her mouth and then closed it when she saw everyone at the net. She smiled and said, "Umm, when you're done your game, can I talk to you?"
Dona M smiled. "Of course. Are you sure you're alright?"
"Ya, I'm sure," Illy said.
Dona M went back to the game as Illy sat at a table where she couldn't get hit by the ball.

DonaM was curious as to what could be bothering Illy and as soon as the game ended, she walked over to the umbrella table where Illy was still sitting all alone. In fact, Dona hadn't seen George go any where near her since they'd gotten to the party. It was like they showed up together, but went their separate ways. She bit her lip as she sat down by Illy..
"You wanted to talk to me..I'm here..." She said with a small grin.

"Sweeney, hurry up!!! Dee, Gilbert, George and Illy are playing on the beach" "Do we have to go?" Sweeney yelled down "Well....yes, I'd like to go. We haven't done anything fun for ages." "The business is going well, isn't it?" "Yes, I suppose so" Sweeney said gloomily "We aren't going forever, I promise!" "Okay!" they run and waved to everyone

"Dona M...I...umm, this is going to sound weird. I don't really know what to ask actually." Dona M looked at her as confused as ever. Illy cleared her throat and started babbling, "You noticed George and I haven't really been around each other, right? I don't understand why he's acting like that. When I said bye to him, he was fine, he was himself and when I came back he was distant and it was almost like he wasn't happy to see me. Did you see him at all when I was away? What was he doing? Was he with anybody?" She gasped suddenly, and said, "Oh my gosh, Dona M, do you think he's been seeing someone while I was away?!" Her eyes started tearing up. "Dona M, what am I going to do now?"

Dona waved to Sweeney and Issy and then turned back to Illy..
"Well, I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary as far as George goes. Um..haven't seen him with anyone either, no other girl I mean. He has hung out a few times with some of the other Johnnies but that's to be expected, you know...I really don't think he'd do that to you, but the way I see you two not with each other confuses even me. Maybe you should talk to him? "

'Johnnie! Hurry up! Everyone's there already!' she yelled as she was coming out of DB's house.
John followed her reluctantly. 'Do you think we can go? I mean, we haven't a place yet and now you want to go to a party. Maybe we should look for a house for us, my cases are packed. Come on, Doll, let's hook up, what do you say?' he said taking her hand, in an effort to stop her from rushing down to the beach.
'We'll have a place in a couple of days. I'm working on it, I told you. Now, we can go relax a bit and you can get to know the other angels. It'll be fun, you like the beach!' she said excitedly.
'I do, I used to like going to Florida', he said and then lowered his head in thought.
'Hey, none of that now. You know you're safe here with me', she tried to comfort him.
'I know, I feel good here. I just want to settle down, you know?', he smiled at her reassuringly but then stopped and looked at her worried. 'There will be no G-men at the party, right?'
'Oh, I'm not sure I can guarantee you that. There might be a CIA agent there but he's ok, he won't bother us, especially around all the pretty angels', she said with a chuckle.
John smiled at her and took her hand leading her to the beach. 'Let's have some fun then. I'm looking forward to meeting all the angels'.
'That's the spirit, Johnnie!', she said as they were arriving.
She saw Illy and DonaM talking and didn't want to disturb. Instead she joined in the beach volley ball fun, while John seemed more interested in getting to know George.

Dona looks up while she is waiting for Illy to answer and spies Doll and John coming towards them, and he seems to have a very anxious look on his face...
"Hey, Doll..and Johnnie...nice to meet you finally....I am DonaM, Don Juan's Angel.."
"Nice to meet ya, doll... is this your party?"
"Sure is, Mr. Dillinger.. but trust me, you don't have to worry about G-Men here, sweetie..all of us will help Doll protect you... " Dona smiles up at him.
He looks at Doll.."I like her... c'mon, lets go have some fun!"

"Hi Doll! Hi John, it's nice to finally meet you," Illy says shaking his hand.
"I'm Illy, George's Angel," she said blushing.
"Nice to meet you," he said.
"Hi Illy!" said Doll. She looked so happy with John by her side.
She turned back to Dona M and said, "You're right, I don't think he'd do anything like that either. I guess I'll just have to talk to him."
Illy looked around and saw George talking to John and Doll.
"I'll go over there in a few minutes. Thanks for your help Dona M." She smiled and thought about how to confront him.

'John? Johnnie!' says Doll, taking John by the hand. 'I think it's time for a dive', she says to him motioning with her head towards Illy who's approaching.
'Oh yes, good to talk to you again, George, but my lady wants to go swimming', John says to George as Doll is pulling him away.
'What's wrong?', he asks Doll when he's sure George and Illy can't hear them.
'I don't know, but I think it's better if we let them talk. And anyway, I didn't have my time alone with you yet, did I?' she smiles.
'Maybe we should skip the socialising and head back to your place then', John says with a grin on his lips as he tucks a lock of hair behind her ear.
'OUR place', she corrects him blushing.
'But you seem a bit flashed, maybe this will be better for now', John says as he pushes her in the water.
'Ah, you mean ...', she screams laughing and her last words are not audible as she dives in the sea.
