Baywatch: Costa Del Sol

[Harry Potter]

Hnaaag the Wookie splashed happily with Gunther, his cross-eyed pet magikarp. The Wookie's long blonde dreadlocks floated in the water, swishing as he ran around Gunther wildly, 'training' him. For his part, Gunther was enthusiastic. The cross-eyed little Pokemon might not know that he was competing in the upcoming Magikarp Grand Prix, or know what Hnaaag was trying to tell him, or really know anything about anything, but he knew that the more he splashed around wildly the happier Hnaaag seemed to get, and that made Gunther happy.

Gunther used Splash.

"Wuuuuuarg!" exclaimed Hnaaag. "Gunther, we are so winning that prize money!"

Gunther used Splash.

Cedric Diggory zoomed towards the shore on his flying surfboard, stopping on a dime in front of Hnaaag.

"Sup," said Hnaaag.

"Nothing," said Cedric, a little relieved. Hnaaag nodded.

"Arite, I gotta go pick up Marla form work," the Wookie said.

Gunther used Splash.

Hnaaag chuckled. "Yeah, we're goin to see Marla, does that sound fun?"

Gunther used Splash.

"Yeah ok," said Cedric. "I'll be in the lifeguard tower when you guys get back."

With that, Hnaaag collected Gunther in his Pokeball, grabbed his board, and went to pick up Marla.

Marla balanced several trays on her arms and blew a wisp of bright blue hair out of her face as she shuffled though the crowded family restaurant where she worked. The pretty Blue Caster Minion was in a bad mood, and it was clear why; her ex-boyfriend was sitting in her section.

Jeremy, the Blue Melee Minion, had brought with him a trashy young Twi'lek, who looked more bored than anything. Jeremy kept looking around to catch Marla's eye and sneer at her. Marla just rolled her eyes and she handed him his beer.

"Uhm," said the Twi'lek girl unpleasantly. "I ordered a cocktail."

"And I said I needed your ID, and you said it was in your car, and then you never got it," Marla replied unpleasantly.

Jeremy laughed, and the couple harassed Marla for another hour before leaving without a tip.

Marla got off a few hours later, the overworked waitress breathing a sigh of relief as she wandered out into the back parking lot to wait for Hnaaag. She lit up a cigarette, and dropped it when she heard a voice behind her.

"Hey," said Jeremy, leaning against the wall behind the restaurant. He was wobbling and reeked of beer, like he often did. Marla shuddered and started to back away. "Hey Marla you were right, that girl, that girl, she's too young for me, you know? Not like you," he mumbled as he lurched forward.

An eerie blue mist rose from Marla's hands. "Fuck off Jeremy, or I'll burn that ugly fucking face to shit," Marla said calmly. Jeremy chuckled, and with lightning speed pinned her against the wall by her arms. Marla squeaked as the breath left her lungs, and the fire from her hands was extinguished. Jeremy moved his face in close to her.

"See, no you've gone and made me loose my temper," he slurred. A single tear ran down Marla's face, and then a blur, and Jeremy was gone.

On the floor, bleeding from his head and moaning, was Jeremy. In front of her stood Hnaaag the Wookie, blood dripping from his right hand, Gunther tucked under his left arm, breathing heavily over Jeremy in a towering rage. The giant Wookie lifted Jeremy one-handed by his collar and pinned him up against the wall. Hnaaag snarled into his face.

"The next time I see you," he growled. "I'm going to twist your head off."

Jeremy spat blood. "The next time you see me, I'll have a sword, and I'll turn you into little bits of Wookie meat."

Hnaaag headbutted the Blue Melee Minion, knocking him out, and letting him slide to the floor.

Gunther gained 12 exp.

"Are you all right?" Hnaaag asked as he put his arm around Marla gently and walked her to the car.

Marla nodded silently.
