He felt ridiculous.

He probably should have known better than to let Coraline choose the bathing costume. If he had known better, maybe he wouldn't have ended up in a bikini with a ladybird pattern but at least, in letting her chose, he'd avoided the box giving him an endless string of suits similiar to ones Fiona had worn

"Oh my twitchy witchy girl, I think you are so nice, I give you bowls of poridge and I give you bowls of ice... cream." Coraline sang as she walked up the beach with her bowl of water for the moat of the sandcastle she had built. Adam had his-her-his, so confusing, back to Coraline and kept kicking his-her-his legs in the air. "I give you lots of kisses and I give you lots of hugs. But I never give you sandwiches with bugs...in."

Coraline paused behind were the currently girl spy was lying. Really, if there was any time to be mischievious it was when Adam would be slightly slower. "Adam?" Coraline said innocently before she threw the water at him. "Ooops."

[beentodamascus]

Adam had turned enough that the water caught him full in the face and chest and, for a moment, all that he ould do was gasp and spit saltwater.

"That's it," he said, scrambling to his feet. "I'm going to drown you, you brat."

[curiously_cora]

"You can try Captain Slow," Coraline said grinning at Adam's water covered face. Coraline paused for maybe two seconds as he-she-Adam scrambled to his feet, Coraline dropped the bowl into the sand and ran. She definitely had the advantage now over Adam and his new body. This was fun. "Can't catch me! I'm Cora the Explorer and you're just a slow girl."

[beentodamascus]

Adam was still quick but he was slower and off balance in the new body, his breasts bouncing uncomfortably in the halterneck swimsuit. His wet hair clung to the side of his face.

"You met Ros. You think she was just a slow girl?" he called. "What about Sarah? Slow girl too?"

[curiously_cora]

Coraline was certainly taking advantage of his new body, she never would have done it normally because Adam would have caught her and mercilessly teased her until she gave in. Girl Adam though was a whole different story.

"Nope Sarah's brilliant, she's like a superhero or something. And Miss Ros would beat you senseless as a boy or a girl. They're not girls like you." Coraline said turning close to the edge of the water and grinning mischieviously at Adam. She could definitely practise her american football tackling on girl Adam. It wouldn't hurt nearly as much. Coraline grinned and ran at Adam. "Charge!"

[beentodamascus]

He might have been smaller, slighter, but, even in this body, Adam remembered playing rugby in Trinity. When Coraline lunged for him, he moved smoothly reaching out to tackle her, bringing them both down to the sand.

"Experience, Coraline," he said, solemnly, leaning his chin on her chest. "You can't argue with it."

[curiously_cora]

"No, I guess you can't." Coraline agreed ruffling his hair for a change and laughing at the wet mess. He looked all drippy and silly. She still couldn't help smiling at him stuck in a girl body. "You should've worn the pink frilly bikini, that was really pretty. What does it feel like in there?"

[beentodamascus]

"I might have breasts, Coraline, but there's no need to take it to ridiculous extremes."

He stuck his tongue out at her.

"Come on. We should head up to the compound and get you some lunch, kid."

[curiously_cora]

"Your face will freeze if you keep making that face," Coraline told Adam primly pulling on his-her tongue with her fingers. Her stomach rumbled at the idea of lunch, she was a growing girl and needed lots of food. She was already taller then most of the girls on the island and some of the boys near her age. "Can I have an apple? And something sweet and a sandwich-no, two sandwiches and salad. And maybe some potatoes if someone has cooked some. And... I'm sure I can think of more when we get there."

[beentodamascus]

Adam pushed himself to his feet and offered Coraline his hands.

"If you come up with a definitive list by the time we get there, you can have a reasonable selection from it."

[curiously_cora]

"Really? Brilliant!" Coraline said eagerly, hesitating for only a weary moment before she took his hands. Coraline smiled and ran to grab her things and pack them away. Nothing made her move quicker then the suggestion of food, well that and the suggestion that the Other Mother was nearby but that was just mean and Adam, even girl Adam, would never use that to get her moving. "You look prettier then Miss Polly. Can we play dress up later?"

[beentodamascus]

He stood and watched Coraline with his hands set on his hips.

"Absolutely."

What you leaned in Intelligence was that, sometimes, it was best to pick your battles.

Coraline grinned already thinking about the outfits she could put Adam in. She was definitely going to make him wear a princess outfit. It was a shame she didn't have a camera otherwise she would've been taking pictures all day long.

"You're the best," Coraline said tugging on his wrist rather then hand for him to hurry up. "Pink princess outfits. And we could ask Shari to do your hair and make up."
