The Beach, Monday morning

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie got up early, still finding it weird to be back in a dorm after years gypsying around the world, and headed for the beach, hoping it would be deserted for a while. She got there fairly early, and found it empty. Looking around, she turned toward the bay, and grinned. Closed her eyes. Concentrated.

Just for a minute, steam rose from the ocean for as far as the eye could see.

"Still got it," Charlie whispered, then blinked.

The steam dissipated, and Charlie kept walking down the beach, picking up shells as she enjoyed the ocean breezes.


[open, though I'm at work 'til 7pmEST. So will be erratic but here.]

Robin came down to the beach after a while and just kinda stood and looked out at the water. He sighed a happy sigh, and began to hum.

There really aren't that many over-sized frogs that sing. "Hey, Robin."

"Charlie! Hi! You look great!"

"Thanks! You're looking-- exactly the same," she laughed. "Although maybe you had a growth spurt in there, somewhere."

"Oh, I've come to accept the fact that I'm likely to remain this size for the rest of my life. Muppets don't tend to age, or grow the same as other folks."

"I suppose there's always an upside," Charlie said, smiling down at him. "How did the music career work out?"

"I've achieved a modicum of success in Europe. In America I did a lot of stage work, a movie here and there. In a week I'm off to star as Mark in the national tour of Rent."

"That's cool! Congratulations," Charlie said, happy for him. "That's really great. I'm glad all that hard work paid off."

"And it's soooo much fun too! What about you? What are you up to these days?"
