Woosh! Swash! Kersplash!
The sounds, the smells, the warmth! It was all a sharp contrast to the dry, dead, endless deserts of Hueco Mundo. The warm sun, the tan colored sands, and, most importantly, the crystal waters that that tackled the land before sliding back home. The skies were clear, showing that infinite blue with a brillant, blazing sun high in the air and it's heat radiated down to bring life to the enormous trees and grasses at their rear.

"This is it! This is where it will happen!" Piedra exclaimed, the portal leading from his home closing behind him. He had a bag in his hand. What was in it he was sure to keep a secret. He wasn't the only one to exit that portal either. Piedra had dragged two others with him. How had he done it? A lie of course! The specifics were lost to Pieadra, as he made up so many parts and pieces he couldn't remember the lies himself, but he was sure he told his two partners two entirely different things though. Why had he lied? What possessed the Arrancar to drag two others here, upon false pretenses, in such a calm and quiet atmosphere?

"It's perfect! It's like, a freakin picture!" He couldn't help his excitement. A childish grin stretched his face and he couldn't help but feel the want, need, to go running about here and there as if he were hyped up on sugar. This place was truly excellent. There were humans around, many of them in fact, but it still looked like something you'd see off a movie or in a painting. From the skies to the waters everything was just as Piedra had pictured it.

Now...For the finishing touches... He thought, sending a devious, questionable expression the way of his two partners. Piedra turned to them, crossing his arms, and held his head up high. "We are now on vacation! Now, put these on!" Piedra would say, shoving the bag towards Cross' chest. In the bag were a pair of swimming trunks, which would probably fit, that were red and blue. Also in the bag was a two piece bikini...Well, a few of them actually. Those were for the other person that Piedra dragged on this "mission". Thea. Would the two Espada go along with what Piedra had planned for them? Really though, had either of them ever been on a "vacation"? Even Piedra hadn't and, when he decided to figure out what one was, he decided to drag the two of them along with him.

Cross was not really a good thing with Water. He never knew how to swim, yet act on a beach. As for Piedra, cross didn't care if he drowned or Was ate by some animal. Looking around at the white sand, and blue water, Cross smiled slightly. He was enjoying the sights, The humans have it well apparently. "it's just like postcards...But it smells fishier." he said as he rubbed his nose furiously. That was some nasty stench, one that Cross could barely handle. Walkign forwards he was stopped by a bag that Piedra had pushed into his chest. He watched as Thea recieved one as well. Pulling the bag away, he lifted it up and looked at teh bag.

"We are suppose to wear these?" he said as he pulled out the red and blue trunks. Something he has never seen before, as the material was something he did not enjoy. ".. do we change here... or..Ah nevermind." Cross pretty much spotted a dressing Room and Sonido'd towards it. He opened the door as he walked inside to quickly change. Having the robes he wore previously in the bag, he walked out. The shorts were perfect length as Cross's Built body showed it's self off. His hollow hole on the left side of his neck was clear, as well as his number 4 tattoo on his right cheek. pulling his long hair up into a pony tail. he ran towards Thea and Piedra. Placing both hands on the back of hsi neck as he leaned back and smiled. "This is much better."
