B.C. listened to the ocean wash in and out serenely. She could feel the rays of the virtual sun against her skin. It felt good. Her toes curled as the water tickled the bottom of her foot. She loved the beach. She never went much in real life, but it was so easy in this world that it was hard not to go. She had the advantage here. Because she was a much higher level, the monsters here didn't warrant any concern at all. She was a bit surprised to see that she was the only player here, though. At least hat she had seen. It was a bit boring, but she really didn't mind that much. B.C. took a deep breath, enjoying her virtual life. It really was enough to make you forget that it was all just a game.
Sitting against her pet with one knee bent and the other leg outstretched, the Dragon Knight stretched her arms and opened her eyes before returning her hands behind her head. Fitting for her location, she'd donned a black bikini - an armor she (and countless others) had won from a special GM quest long ago. The only other equipment she was wearing were three silver bangles on her right arm that increased her accuracy. It was an accessory she normally didn't care for, but she thought it went well with her current outfit. Her hair was tied up in it's usual fashion, but with a white flower accessory instead.
It wasn't as if B.C. wasn't enjoying her day on the beach as it was, but there was still something missing. Something that made her heart pound and her adrenaline rush. Relaxation was good, but she also craved excitement, and there was one person who excited her more than any other. More than anyone else in Eternal Land or out of it. She smiled and began whistling "Luck be a Lady Tonight" to herself, waiting for her special guest to arrive.

"Yahooooooooo!~" The sound of a distant shout grew nearer and nearer as a golden blur appeared in the horizon. Riding Fafnar at full speed, the dragon rider quickly approached the beach. Her faint silhouette grew increasingly clear, as did the mane of spinning gold whipping about her. In her excitement, Queen had forgone all safety precautions and had stood up on Fafnir's back. She was leaning backwards, letting the wind lick at her tanned skin. Her eyes were narrowed to thin slits, and a look of pure rapture shrouded her face. The only indication she was at all aware of her surroundings was her tight grip on Fafnir's reins, the only thing keeping her from flying off from the high wind velocity.
As the dragon knight neared the beach, she still had no intention to slow down. Instead, she loosened the reins slightly, urging Fafnir to begin descending. The dragon, doing as he was told, dropped from the sky to just about the ocean, and in mere seconds, his wings were skimming the azure currents, sending up slashes of water droplets. Queen shivered as the first of those playful drops landed on her exposed flesh, but only grinned wider. The lower Fafnir went, the more water came splashing up. Her tail flickered from time to time, getting rid of any water. And soon enough, seawater was dripping down her toned thighs, but could do naught to damage her tiger-stripped bikini. Her trusty buster blade, Ragnarok, was no where in sight, and the only resemblance she bore to her usual outfit is the hair-clips just beneath her ears, which, not only offering several stat bonuses, also protected the fragile interior of her ears nicely.
Incrementally, Fafnar began to slow down, impeded by the resistance of water. But that doesn't mean she wasn't about to land with a splash, quite literately this time too. Still going at relatively high speed, it looked as if the gold was about to charge directly into the beach before Queen creaked one eye open and deftly jerked his reins with her right hand. Naturally, the dragon made a sharp turn, stopping with ease. But with that dramatic move, his wing stirred up a wave of water, which crushed onto the beach, drenching anything too close to the sea. The dragon knight jumped down gracefully and scanned around the shoreline. Now where was B.C.?

Somewhere between looking for Queen and playing Frank Sinatra in her head, B.C. found herself drifting off into space. Literally. Why couldn't people live on Mars? It was the 21st century, wasn't it? Had every science fiction novel and anime simply lied to her? Where were the huge domes that made planetary colonization possible? NASA had failed her. Was it even NASA's job, though? Who really created those domes? Maybe it was just NASA's jobs to find the planets. It could be a conspiracy, she thought. What if humanity already had the technology, but the government was holding out on them? Like Japan mass producing gundams since 1998 in a hidden underground facility. In this world, it was hard to draw the line between reality and fiction. Eternal Land was proof of that, wasn't it? She wasn't sure what to believe. She kind of believed the gundam thing, though...
B.C. was broken from her daydream by Artanis nudging her. She blinked and looked up at him. His nostrils flaring, he lifted his head, gesturing to the distance. B.C. couldn't make out any of the details of the object, but the color and speed of it were all she needed to identify it. "Dammit," she muttered. Where the hell was she going at that speed? More importantly, what the hell kind of flashy entrance was she trying to make!? She was trying to show her up, wasn't she!? B.C. growled and punched the ground. "Slow down already, stupid!" she hissed to herself. The longer she watched, the clearer it became that Queen had no intention of doing that. B.C. hopped onto the back of Artanis's neck as he stood and flew into the air.
She watched Queen finally slow down, then come to a screeching halt, sending water all over the beach. Artanis climbed higher into the air to make sure they weren't hit. B.C. growled. What a showoff! She pet'spatted her head, letting him know he could descend. Her temper, however, did not. "Hey!" she called as Artanis landed beside Fafnir. She jumped into his hand, then down to the ground, wasting no time before approaching Queen with an annoyed look. "You stupid showoff..." She crossed her arms. "You always have to make a flashy entrance, don't you? You're such an annoying person..." With a huff, she turned her back to the blonde. "Why the hell are you here anyway?"

The sound of flapping wings told her all she needed to know. Looking up, Queen just caught sight of Artanis descending. It was a magnificent really, with the silver dragon's scale gleaming under the sunlight. As if sensing his mistress's appreciation of another pet, Fafnir snorted, causing Queen to chuckle and pet the gold's snout. Jealousy, such a typical characteristic of golds.
"Hey, darling," She greeted cheerfully as the other dragon rider landed beside her, a toothy grin spelling out her good mood. But even the said mood could not preventing her eyes from narrowing dangerously as B.C. went on a rant.
"What can I say? If you are as hot as me, it's kind of hard not to make an entrance." Queen retorted sarcastically, "And you know I only annoy you because you secretly want a piece of this." Striking a pose, she smirked and pushed forward her already prominent curves. It must be the warm weather, for she was feeling even more flirtatious than normal. Plus, she knew that it always flustered the angry-looking girl. And a flustered B.C. was an amusing B.C.
Which is why, when B.C. turned her back, Queen let out a low wolf whistle. "Is that what your armor has been hiding from me?" She grinned, raking her eyes down the other female's bikini-clad form. But her train of thought was caught off at the question. "What do you mean why I'm here?" She asked in an incredulous tone, "you are the one who sent me a PM asking me to come! Which reminds me, what exactly do you want? Hopefully not for me to give you fashion tips on how to work a bikini? Not that I don't enjoy the view..." She trailed off, looking at the other dragon knight expectantly.
