"Trust me, I'm just going to sunbathe and enjoy the beach, since San Diego is renowned for them," Abigail said simply

"Or you could ogle the shirtless men running around all sweaty and covered in sand" Gabrielle said

"Okay firstly ew, secondly I'm not going to openly ogle anyone when Jake is around he'd kill me and then them, thirdly, I have now seen all of these guys in increasing ridiculous situations, I'm not attracted to any of them at all"

Abigail said simply as she checked over herself in the mirror

A tied white shirt over her bikini top and a dark dusty pink wrap skirt over the bottoms, simple wedged sandals grabbing her bag and sunglasses and sunhat.

"Now I'm going so bye" she said hanging up the call

The beach was only a short drive from her home which day by day was becoming more and more home like

By the time Abigail had gotten there after a small pitstop the squad was already setting up, seeming to have pulled more Lieutenants into the game

"Pete" she greeted setting her bag down "Did they rope you into playing too?" He asked.

"Oh god no" Abigail laughed "I'm here to be Rooster's teams personal cheerleader"

"Not Hangman's?" Maverick asked "God no I'm also here to laugh at him getting knocked onto his ass" Abigail told him "Well please set up anywhere" Maverick stated

"I will" she confirmed.

Abigail laid out a beach towel near where a foldable chair was set up, probably for Maverick

"You actually came."

Abigail looked up at Bob who's shadow shaded her from the sun "I did in fact" she smiled sliding her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose

"I must say, I'm very disappointed at the lack of shirtless-ness coming from you"

"Tsk, I'm sorry to disappoint but I'm sure you'd be just as disappointed at me shirtless as you are with fully clothed me" He joked

"I'm sure I wouldn't be but I respect your decision, UV rays are a bitch" Bob laughed more then he realistically should or usually would at her joke

"Also, side note, Jake has no balance so go for his legs or for around his lower torso, he'll go down like a tree" she advised

"I shall pass the information onto Phoenix who will be delighted" he said

"Of course, anyway to knock Jake on his ass" she said

"Did you bring pom poms?" He questioned.

Abigail grinned reaching into her bag producing very sad looking Pom poms, with a cheap white plastic handel and long silver and red tinsel attached to it, nothing like actual cheer pom poms

"The joys of the dollar store" she said at Bob who just shook his head laughing

"I hope to hear you cheering for me" he said turning to leave

"I promise to cheer for you louder than anyone!" She called Bob smiled turning around giving her a thumbs up

The two teams separated holding the balls in the centre

"These rules make no sense" Abigail muttered.

"They never have" Iceman spoke standing behind her

"Admiral" She greeted.

"Abigail" He solemnly

"Came to stare at Maverick" she joked.

"I wish, I came to find you actually" He said
