Story:
Brownie gave a small sigh as he woke, wondering what he should do today. Looking at his window, and the sun coming in as he thought. The light from outside was inviting, so he got up and went to his window to look out. Seeing the weather was lovely today, he made a quick decision to go to the beach again today. He had gone recently with his friends, but decided today he'd invite someone else. He went to the phone and started to dial Confetti's number. When he heard it pick up, he said a greeting and then asked Confetti if she'd like to go to the beach for lunch.
She responded happily that she would love to meet him for lunch.

Brownie let her go with a cheery, see you later, before hanging up with Confetti. He walked to the kitchen to start making their lunch. He looked in the fridge and cabinets to see what he had available. Seeing plenty of sandwich stuff, and some fruits for a snack, he quickly began assembling their lunch. He was super excited to see Confetti, he hadn't seen her in quite a long time. Typically, he was busy with his friends, Scoops, Squash, and Gummi. While they were great friends, he didn't think it was healthy to shut off the other Plush Dragons who may want to see him. He wondered what Confetti would like to eat, and decided to pack a few variations so she could choose when they got there. He put some drinks in the basket as well, so they wouldn't be thirsty today.

He finished packing with a blanket in the basket so they had a soft dry area to sit, that wouldn't be directly on the sand so their food would have less chance of getting sandy.

Once he was finished packing, he started toward the beach, eager to meet Confetti and talk to her about what she's been up to lately and update her on his adventures as well. He'd had such a busy summer already, and while it was only July, he knew it would be over before he even noticed, and then the Autumn fun would begin.
He couldn't answer what his favorite season was, just because of that reason, they all had so many fun activities specific for them, that it felt wrong to choose.
He wondered if Confetti had a favorite season though.

Once he got to the beach, he saw all the other Plush Dragons who decided today was a great beach day and smiled hearing all the laughter and fun the others were having, with the sound of the waves crashing behind them.
He set the blanket out and sat to wait for when Confetti showed up, though he didn't have to wait long.

Confetti waved to Brownie when she saw him and hurried over, "Hi! You weren't waiting on me too long right?" She asked, a bit embarrassed she'd gotten here late.

"Oh no, not at all, hi how are you?" He asked her happily.

"Oh I'm doing great, I was happy to hear from you!" She said, sitting down.

"I brought a lot of food because I wasn't sure exactly what you would like to eat." he said, opening the basket, "Please take what you'd like, the sandwiches are labeled."

Confetti smiled, "That was thoughtful of you- I'll have this one, thanks." She said taking one of the sandwiches.
Brownie took his own as well, smiling at the water,

"It's so pretty here." He said before looking back at Confetti, "So, what have you been up to lately? Any fun adventures or interactions?"

"Oh yes, I went to the Planetarium when it was open, and I've been spending a lot of time with so many of my friends." She said.

"You are always first to greet new friends." He agreed with a laugh. "I'm so glad to hear you've been having fun though," Brownie said softly. The rest of their lunch went with them both talking eagerly about what they have been up to, and Brownie enjoyed the visit, glad that he had thought to invite her out.
