When Coraline was a child she had thought university was supposed to be a boring affair, in drizzly England with really old crumbly buildings. What Coraline had found out though at eighteen was that college was a whole other thing. College had cute boys with American accents, it had sprawling campuses with exciting classes, warm weather with beaches, lots of places to explore and lots of new friends to get into trouble with.

Like Sam Witwicky; best friend, fellow dork, captain and general all round nice (hot) guy. It didn't matter that Sam didn't really seem to notice the fact that Coraline was a woman, Cora was just glad to spend time with him. And his totally cool car which Corline was convinced was alive from the few times she had been allowed to get a ride with Sam (once for thanksgiving, where she got to meet Sam's parents who were mental but lovely. And once to the airport where she cried for about an hour after she got on the plane.) Not that Sam ever let on the car was magical or alive or alien or something but Coraline had a knack with these things... she just knew it.

"You know I know, right? The whole magical car thing, I know." Coraline said casually, leaning back against the car. Boots pressed against the tires, Coraline leaned forward looking up towards the dorms where Sam was getting his stuff. Honestly Coraline was curious, an explorer and had known Sam for nearly a year now and even if she hadn't known him for practically a lifetime, she was still Coraline Jones, "So, that's how we're going to play it then, huh?"

Coraline looked at the silent car, smile turning into a grin before she patted the bonnet. Good car.

"Yeah, yeah I'll get you to spill eventually you wait and see Bumblebee." Coraline said, squinting in the early morning light at the familiar sight of her best friend. Waving wildly at Sam, Coraline picked up her bags and bounced on her toes as she waited for him. "Come on Witwicky, we haven't got all day. There are beaches to see, waves to surf, classes to not go to."

Coraline bounded over to Sam as he got near the car. Pouncing on him, Coraline wrapped her arms around Sam and hugged him tight. Coraline pulled back to look at him, grinning.

"Is that what you're wearing? Really? Are you sure? Because I think that Will Turner might want his outfit back, is that pirate chic? All you need now is guyliner and you are all set, do you want to borrow mine?" Coraline asked, reeling off a hundred questions as she grinned goofily at him. "I'm kidding you look... you know."

Hot.

She wasn't saying that. At all.

"No, no, no, come on this is not happening," Sam said as he threw apart his room looking for a clean shirt. "Dude, how could you have taken all my laundry without telling me!"

"Hey, chill, I was doing you a solid, bro," Leo said from his computer. "Don't freak, take my clean shirt."

Sam glanced to where his roommate was pointing. His "clubbing" shirt was essentially a pirate shirt, worn because of some "peacocking" philosophy that said if you wore stupid stuff at clubs girls would notice and remember.

"You had better not be sabotaging me, dude," Sam said as he grabbed the shirt and pulled it on.

"Bro, would I do that?" Leo asked. "I mean, she's totally bangin' but you have like dibs, right?"

Sam didn't reply, mostly because it was complicated. He was a year older than Coraline and they were good friends and he did like her. But she was a great friend and he didn't want to screw that up by trying to be more.

Instead he just grabbed his bag and headed out to where Coraline and Bee were waiting. As she bounded over to him, he couldn't help but notice the way... certain parts bounced as she moved. Making sure he made eye contact with her, he hugged her back, making a face as she commented on his outfit.

"Leo did the laundry. Only he didn't dry it, this was the only clean shirt in the room. Let's just go to the beach so I can take it off."

As if on cue, Bee started up and blasted "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppen Wolf. Yeah, that wasn't odd or anything. Sighing, he opened Coraline's door for her before sliding into the driver's seat.

"So, I have a surprise for our beach destination today."
