Tracy Island, Monday 18th March

Nikki and Kat were doing some serious sunbathing down by the pool. Suddenly a male voice interrupted their thoughts. Virgil, Alan, Christopher, Brandon, and Dominic with Joshua made their way down to the pool.

"Hey, how about us all playing a game of water polo?" Virgil shouted to them.

Without opening her eyes, Kat replied, "No chance, Virgil. Not until we have extra females on our side."

"Aw, come on," Alan added. "We just want to relax."

Still with her eyes closed, Kat remarked, "You are not going to beat us just because you are obviously bored."

Virgil knelt by her chaise. Kat glanced at him through half opened eyes and said, "If you really want to relax, why don't you ask Brandon and Christopher to have a game of tennis with you, and Nikki and I will come along and watch."

"Did someone mention tennis?" Christopher asked, "Come on Brandon, let's see how good you are at tennis."

"Oh, do play tennis," Nikki said eagerly. "I will umpire for you."

"Right then, tennis it is, Virgil agreed. "Now we must find a job for you," he said to Kat, laughing. "I know! You can be our ball boy."

"Charming!" Kat, responded, but with a smile.

"Say, Kat," Nikki looked at her friend. "It will be fun, seeing the Tracy boys beaten."

Kat nodded, but Brandon didn't look too sure about that. Laughing and chatting, the group made its way to the tennis court. Dominic and Joshua settled down, prepared to watch an interesting game. They played three sets, with Virgil and Alan winning two sets to one.

"Okay, you girls, now how about mixed doubles?" Alan asked.

"Don't look at me," Kat said. "I haven't played tennis since I was at school. I must be very rusty."

"Oh, come on Kat! It will be fun," Nikki urged her friend.

"We'll toss who plays against who," said Alan, tossing a coin. "Heads!"

Heads it was. "I'll play with Nikki," Alan said.

"Sorry, Virgil, you are left with me and I can't play very well," Kat said apologetically. "Like I said, I haven't played for years."

The game started, and to everyone's surprise Kat and Virgil managed to win two sets.

"Hey, you're not too bad," Virgil stated.

"Oh, it was a sheer fluke, beginner's luck. You were the one who did all the real work," replied Kat modestly.

"I think that drinks are in order now," Brandon said, glancing at his friends.

"I vote that Alan and Virgil get them," Nikki replied.

"How come?" Alan inquired.

"Well, you are our hosts, in a way, and we have obliged you by playing tennis with you," Christopher added.

Laughing, Alan looked at the newbies, "Yeah, okay, but just this once. From now on you must all take turns." And he led them back inside to the kitchen.
