Lakeside Vacation
Having chosen a lake for their vacation destination, (Captain) and the crew arrive to find a tournament taking place where dogs and their owners team up to compete. They invite Eustace to watch with them, convincing him to change into a swimsuit so he won't overheat.
Vyrn: Mm-mm! Smell that fresh air!
Lyria: It feels so nice!
The crew has come to the shore of a lake deep within a certain forest.
Lyria: I'd like to take a dip in the lake first! We can put our swimsuits to good use!
Vyrn: Count me in!
Vyrn: Woohoo! Then what're we waitin' for? Let's get changed!
Lyria: Will you be swimming, Eustace?
Eustace: No, don't mind me. I'll be nearby doing a bit of maintenance on Flamek.
Eustace: Call me if anything comes up.
Choose: What about you, Eustace?
Eustace: Well...
Eustace: I'll be nearby doing a bit of maintenance on Flamek.
Lyria: Um... All by yourself?
Eustace: Don't mind me. I'll be close enough to rush over if anything comes up.

Eustace: You guys take care and enjoy yourselves.
Lyria: I guess it was too much to hope that Eustace would join us in his swimsuit.
Vyrn: Wonder how we can get him to ditch those stuffy clothes?
Lyria: We even picked a place that seemed quiet so this year would finally be the one.
Vyrn: Yeah... About that...
Vyrn: This huge mob of people wasn't exactly what we had in mind.
Lyria: I know... Looks like there wasn't really any point in choosing this for our vacation spot.
Vyrn: Sourpuss hates crowds, so this seemed like it'd be a way safer bet than Auguste. But so much for that, huh?
Lyria: Yeah...
Lyria: Um, is it my imagination, or are there a lot of people with doggies?
Vyrn: Now that you mention it, yeah...
Vyrn: Oh, looks like everybody's groupin' up over there.
Vyrn points to a spot where a number of people with dogs seem to be gathering.
Vyrn: Huh? I can see some kinda sign. What's it say?
Vyrn flies above the heads of (Captain) and company to get a better look at the notice posted on the far side of the crowd.
Vyrn: A "dog 'n' owner tag team championship"?
Lyria: Championship?
Vyrn: Lemme see...
Vyrn: The sign says it's a contest where dogs and their owners pair up to compete in three different events!
Lyria: Then all the people here with doggies must be taking part in the competition.
Vyrn: That's gotta be it!
Vyrn: You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?
Lyria: Yeah!
Vyrn, Lyria, and (Captain) look at each other and nod in unison.
Lyria: We can't leave him out!
Vyrn: You said it! Dogs and ol' Sourpuss go hand in hand!
Eustace: A... dog competition?
Lyria: That's right! There were doggies everywhere!
Vyrn: Since we're already here and everything, we oughta pop by!
Eustace: ...
Sensing Eustace's hesitation, (Captain) gives him a final gentle push.
Choose: Won't be as fun without you.
Eustace: ...
Understood. I'll come along to watch the dogs.
Understood. I'll come along to watch the dogs.
Lyria: Yay! Then let's get going!
(Captain) and company excitedly surround Eustace.
Vyrn: But first things first...
Vyrn: Time to get changed.
Eustace: But didn't you already do that?
Lyria: Not us... Er...
Lyria: Aren't those clothes a little hot for the middle of summer?
Vyrn: Yeah, what she said. Your outfit's so dark, and it looks super heavy.
Vyrn: And you don't like the heat, right?
Eustace: So you noticed...
Vyrn: Well, yeah. We've known each other for a long time, after all.
Lyria: Um... We obviously can't know for sure since you never complain, but it was just... a feeling.
Eustace: ...
Lyria: Sorry... We thought maybe you just didn't want to bring it up.
Eustace: No, it's not like I was trying to hide it.
Eustace: It's true. I don't care for the heat.
Vyrn: Then lose the sweaty gear!
Lyria: I'm sure it'll be a lot cooler in a swimsuit!
Lyria: Right, (Captain)?
Choose: I'd love to see you in a swimsuit!
Eustace: Is that so...
Choose: Yeah, swimsuits are nice and breezy.
Eustace: Is that so...

Eustace: Well, in that case...
Eustace: I guess I might as well wear one.
Vyrn: Sweet! Then let's go buy you some beach duds!
Eustace: Is there a shop around here?
Lyria: Yep! We happened to find one earlier. It's this way!
Vyrn: Hey, lookin' good!
Eustace: ...
Lyria: I'm glad they had such a nice one. It looks great on you!
Eustace: I don't typically go out wearing this little, so it feels a bit awkward...
Vyrn: Aw, c'mon. Just forget about all that stuff for today and enjoy the breather.
Lyria: Think of the doggies.
Eustace: Well, dogs aside...
Eustace: It might be nice to join you guys for once.
The trio beam happily at Eustace's words.
Vyrn: All right!
Vyrn: Then let's start by checkin' out that dog contest!
And so (Captain) and company hurry off to watch the competition, accompanied by Eustace.
