“Hey it’s me, Giles. I’ve been looking in the Sunset Cove shops lately for a present to give as a token of my love to girl of my dreams, Octavia (you’ll see what in episode 11. Presents are one way to show you like someone – and this is my guide to buying a present…”

If you’re off to the shops in Sunset Cove you’d better wear your sunglasses. It’s always hot and sunny here and you’d otherwise be literally blinded by the bright glare reflecting off the perfect teeth of smiling people walking down the street. You may not be able to see and would maybe walk into a lamppost, doggie doo or into the back of a truck…

I used to think going to the shops was mostly for groceries. I’d go with my Mum or Grandpa to the supermarket to pick up some odds and ends to eat. However Grandpa likes to buy spaghetti to knit meals out of and if we walk past frozen chickens or honey then it reminds Mum of the birds and bees and she’ll start telling me to control my “urges” for Octavia. And once Grandpa got lost and spent 6 nights camped out in the frozen food department. It’s all very embarassing so I try not to go shopping.

But now I realise shops aren’t just for food or clothes – they’re also for love!! In episode 11 I go to the shops (on the advice of my inner child) to buy Octavia a present to show her how much I care for her. But what present to buy???

SHE LOVES ME – OR SHE LOVES ME NOT AND WHAT I GOT???

It’s hard to know what to buy Octavia. I’m not rich or wealthy like Josh Montana and can’t afford to buy her amazingly expens
ive things like a sports car or the world’s biggest diamond.

Grandpa says I should make Octavia something myself – this means it is personal and comes from the heart. But I’m no good at that – all I am good at making are paper airplanes or making a mess…

I face competition from Josh for Octavia. Josh has been on a buying spree and picked up famous antiques like Custer’s last hand and the Balls of Nantucket. How can I compete with this?

“Beach parties are held in Sunset Cove
really often. It attracts practically everyone in town. There is nice music, fantastic barbecue food, great sunshine. Bronzed hunks flex their muscles and beach babes strut their stuff.

Josh Montana asked Octavia to the beach – she turned him down and instead Octavia actually said to me “I look forward to seeing you there, Giles” in Atlantis High school the other day! I can’t believe it. Do I have the courage to go to the beach? Will Octavia really be there or is this just a joke?

Dare I go to the beach party? If I go, I will stick out like a lightbulb that’s gone out on Christmas tree lights… but
 if the girl of my dreams, Octavia, is going to the beach party then this might be a party that I cannot miss…”

“Everyone goes to the beach in Atlantis High – Sunset Cove’s beach is famous. It has endless miles of golden sands stretching further than the eye can see. It is breathtaking. Every day seems to be hot, hot, hot and there are always bronzed hunks and beach babes lazing under the sun making themselves look more tanned and more beautiful than ever. My ears hurt on the beach – the waves are so big and loud, the surf is always “up” here and it is a paradise for surfers (I
only wish I learned to swim as surfing looks fun – and attracts loads of beach babes!).

A HUNK OF HUNKS

“Eeek. I try to keep clear of the Sunset Cove beach because there are more muscles on these miles of sand than in all the gyms of the world combined. I don’t look like Mr. Universe but more like a “nerd” and stick out like a really sore thumb.

On the beach there are guys with arms wider than my waist – lifting huge weights and pumping iron to make their muscles even bigger. Muscle-guys do press-ups like there is no tomorrow.

There are all kinds of beach sports being played everywhere you look – beach volleyball, beach soccer, Frisbee, hacka-sack, catch, swimming. More sports on one beach than the Olympic games”. 

BEAUTIFUL BABES

“Oh but the babes! Surely Sunset Cove is the place where the world’s supermodels grow up and make themselves look beautiful on the beach!

Lounging around in the sun (surrounded by guys) are some of the wonders of the world. Ocean girls with teeth like pearls, flowing hair that makes guys stare. Sometimes I feel like I do love the beach after all and don’t want to return home – but make the beach my new home instead…”
