A Day Out (anyone)

Dal walked down onto the beach with Nadine at his side holding his hand. He had decided to have a day out at the beach as he felt he needed to do something fun after the bad news he'd received the previous night. He was a bit hurt that Maria had cheated on him but was glad she'd been honest and admitted it. He could understand her not wanting to take on Nadine as well as him and realised that Nadine could be a major issue for anyone who might potentially be interested in him. Still he knew that when he met the right person she would be willing to take on Nadine as well. There was also the matter of explaining to Nadine that he and Aunty Maria wouldn't be seeing each other anymore. How in the world did one explain that to a 4 year old. Dal found a spot they could sit down in and put his towel down there. He then set about explaining to Nadine that he and Maria hadn't worked out. He was also hoping he might meet someone new. As he and Maria hadn't been together long enough to get serious he saw no reason to not start looking for someone new straight away.

<anyone>

Vanessa was waling on the beach she saw dal comming her way so she decide to say hello.

"hey Dal how's it going?

Dal smiled at Vanessa. He remembered talking to her in his hotel room after getting the news that Rose had died.
"It's going ok. Maria and I tried things out but it didn't work out. How are things going for you? Oh this is my daughter Nadine," Dal said introducing Nadine.

oh im so sorry about you two did not work things out.

Vanessa smiled at nadine "Hi im Vanessa.

"Don't worry about it we weren't together long enough for things to become serious between us. Have you found anyone special?" Dal asked.
"Hi Vanessa," Nadine said.

"hi Vanessa said back may I say you look very pretty just like a princess I bet you are one just like your daddy always said you would be.

so Dal how are you?

"I'm good," Dal said.
He guessed she hadn't found anyone special. At least he hoped she hadn't.

"Hey guys!" AJ smiled walking up to the duo and child. She wore a long black sundress and was holding a black lace parasol.

"Hey AJ," Dal said.
He smiled at her.

"Hey Dal" She said smiling back. Then she noticed Nadine. "Why hello there"

"AJ this is my daughter Nadine. Nadine AJ," Dal said.

"Hi there Nadine" AJ smiled, bending down slightly.

"So what brings you here AJ? I'm just having a day out and explaining to Nadine that it didnt work out between Maria and I," Dal said.

"That's a shame" AJ said, "I'm just out on a stroll, getting some fresh air"

"Have you someone special yet or has Taker still got his hold on you?" Dal asked.

"Taker is more like my best girlfriend, we better off friends then an item. I have actually found someone" She said.

"So who have you found?" Dal asked.

AJ giggled, "His name is Peter, but his ring name is Ashe"

"I know him. He used to be in IPW Australia and sometimes appeared on IPW New Zealand shows," Dal said.

"Ahh so you would know that he's a great guy" She smiled
