The flippers have a ball with their game of chase then the smallest
one inches in with Daisy-chan while a medium baby flipper curls in
with Cash. The hoods keep them from drying out and Cash and Iowna
don't mind wet legs.

A mommie flipper occasionally brings a mouthful of water to the
little baby and for once, Daisy-chan doesn't mind getting a little
wet.

A mexi-cat brings over a plate set in ice and in a bowl by
Francesca, full of tuna. He looks out at Cash snoozing with a baby
flipper and sets up a tray of shucked oysters, fingerling fish, and
smoked duck. Then looking to Iowna, he sets up an iced place of
fingerling fish, scallops, romaine and endive lettuce, and some
nibbles of her special diet food.

As they wait for the guests to have a siesta, they take a short
break and play with the adult flippers and bring out foods.

The day lingers on.

Francesca stirs from her nap, roused by the magical smell of tuna.
After wolfing down every last morsel, she looks around and spots the
staff cats playing with the flippers. She remembers hearing about a
diving cat, so she figures "What the heck, if Jocko can do it, so can
I!" She uses her boundless kitten energy to streak toward the surf,
and at the last minute she launches herself as high as she can go and
splashes down into the sea.

She surfaces moments later a sputters a bit, then thinks "This isn't
too bad. No worse than playing in the shower at home!". She paddles
toward the adult flippers, and is surprised when one rises out of the
water directly below her. She finds herself riding on the dolphin's
back, jumping through waves and playing tag with the others.
Francesca decides this is a lot more fun than having to paddle slowly
around in a float to play with the babies!

FtF takes advantage of approaching waves to leap as high as she can
and make as big a splash as she can when she lands. The adult
flippers take turns surfacing under her and giving her rides. They
play energetically for 10 or 15 minutes, then Francesca realizes that
she's worn out and curls up atop her host. The flipper takes her to
shallow water to allow her to dismount. When she's back on the beach,
Francesca bows to her hosts and meows her thanks. She then returns
to her beach umbrella and falls into again into a deep sleep.

Daisy-chan wakens to a baby flipper making sounds and nuzzling her
breasts. The baby is hungry and a mommie flipper is floating beside
her. With a grin, she helps the little one to the water.

Cash also wakes as a little flipper seems to be looking for where to go
pee and helps him out then it calls to his sister who carefully shifts
to the ocean from Iowna's raft.

The Mexi-cats see everyone is awake and bring out the food on floats.
Cash spys mini floats on the beach and eyes one in HOT PINK and heads
over. He's not bashful. He likes Pink ok? He snags one in green for
Iowna and one in orange for Daisy-chan and brings them back with him.
Shortly they are all playing in the water with basically water wings as
the mexi-cats bring food on floats and they take turns flipping bits to
one another.

Soon it gets loud and Francesca wakes to see shucked oysters,
fingerling fish, and ducky bits flying from mouth to mouth. One of the
Mexi-cats is setting up a waterball net while another blows up a big
ball. There's a pile of various waterwing sets on the shore in many
colors. She heads over to a particularily pretty one...
