Zhi grinned happily, finally telling Jayson how cool his drawing was. He continued drawing on his own, adding more and more.
Batari giggled at her baby brother, then looked to Eric curiously, "Is there anything I should know before I try surfing?" She asked.

Jayson did just the same with his own drawing, switching crayon after crayon just to make it more colorful, even if he was only given four different colors.
Laughing lightly at his own brother, shaking his head as well, Eric returned his gaze back to Batari. "Well...." he thought out loud, "um...sharks?" he teased her, before realizing that would probably be more of a fright than a tease to her. "But seriously though, um...well, you'll need a board for starters. Do you have one at all?"

Zhi looked over at Jayson, "You draw better..." He whined, watching Jayson drawing.
Batari giggled softly, but then shook her head, "No... I don't have a board." She told him honestly. "Should I buy one... or do you have an extra one?" Then shyly, "Can you... help me get one?"

With his tongue hanging out of his mouth in concentration, Jayson perked his head up suddenly hearing what Zhi had said. He glanced back to Zhi's own drawing then before looking up at him, with the same grin on his face as before. "Yours is still good though.." he reassured his friend. "I like yours a lot, actually. I know! How about when we're both done, I give you mine, and you give me yours?" he suggested, enthusiastically.
Eric nodded, pushing back his hair from his eyes before answering, "Well, I'm sure I have an extra board somewhere in the garage, that you can borrow." he told her, positively. "What days are you free, by the way?" he asked not just so he could teach her, but also because he was curious and that he wanted to see more of her sometime soon.

Zhi smiled, "Sure!" He said excitedly, writing a simple, Duì Ja he paused, "How do I spell your name?" He asked Jayson.
Batari glanced at Zhi, giggling, "Zhi, that's not English." She told him softly, then returned her attention to Eric. "Any day is fine... Since it's summer." She told him.

Although curious to know what Batari meant by what she said to Zhi, Jayson ignored her anyway, returning his attention back to Zhi, answering his question. "J-A...um..hold on.." he paused, writing down his name on the corner of his paper, to make sure he got the letters down right. "Oh! J-A--um..Y-S-O-N." he finally answered him, getting a different color crayon then, getting ready to write his friend's name down in exchange. "How do you spell you're name?" he asked, with his eyes down on the paper, waiting for him to answer him.
Eric looked at the two boys then, an eyebrow raised at them, slightly wondering why they were asking for each other's names to spell out. Shaking his head out of that thought bubble then, he returned his gaze back to Batari, grinning at her answer she gave him. "Sounds great." he replied, "Um..how about this coming Monday? Sound good to you?"

"Z-H-I. My name is short!" He said excitedly, happy at how easy his name was. Duì Jayson, he finished, then understood what his sister meant. "Oh... This is 'to' in Chinese." He told Jayson with a laugh. "So it's for you."
Batari smiled, excited they could meet up again so soon. "Monday sounds great." She told him. "I'll try to talk to mom about getting my own board." She added.

Jayson finished writing Zhi's name down, before handing him his drawing in exchange for Zhi's. "Cool~" he chirped, holding the drawing up, taking a better look at it. "I like your drawing, Zhi. It's cool looking." he reassured him, even if he didn't think so himself.
"That might make things easier, actually." Eric chuckled, "Considering the board might not be the right size for you." he finished, right before the waitress came by again with their orders, handing each plate out to the four of them, Eric muttering a 'thank you' as he received his, while Jayson just squealed, "Oo~ yum!" and already started slurping on his chocolate shake and munching on his fries. "Mm...this looks so good." Eric muttered to himself, picking up his burger, taking a bite out of it.

Zhi let out a "cool!" as he received Jayson's drawing, only to get a 'look' from Batari for being too loud. He smiled at Jayson, "This is really cool! Thank you!" He told his friend happily.
Batari smiled, "I thought it would be easier. Will you... Will come with me to buy the board?" She asked, leaning back and smiling at the waitress as she brought their food, letting out a small "thank you."

Jayson let out a quick nod, replying back "Your welcome" as he continued munching on his fries and slurping on his shake. Only to also be given a look from Eric. "You better eat your burger too, Jay. You ordered it, you eat it." he scolded him, only to receive a pout from Jayson as he took his first bite of his cheeseburger.
Eric turned back to Batari, slurping on some of his own shake before answering her question. " Yeah, of course. I was kinda planning on taking you to buy your own board, actually." he chuckled, chewing on another one of his fries.

Zhi couldn't help but giggle, only to receive a look from Batari as well, "Don't just be drinking your shake. You better eat too." He told the little four year old. Zhi pouted and munched on a fry.
Batari returned her attention to Eric, "Sounds like a plan." She told him with a smile.

Jayson simply laughed at Zhi's response towards his sister, despite the fact that he too was given the look by his own brother, and he continued eating his food then.
Eric smiled back to Batari, swallowing the next bite of burger before dipping in one of his fries into his shake, watching as Jayson copied what he had done. "Ever tried a fry dipped in a chocolate milkshake?" he asked her curiously.

Zhi also decided to copy, dipping his fry in his milkshake and taking a cautious bite out of it. "Wow!" He said excitedly, "It is good!" He told his friend.
Batari smiled at the kids, then to Eric and watched what he was doing, deciding to give it a try. She raised her eyebrows, nodding in agreement.

"It's good, huh?!" Jayson nodded to his friend, taking three fries this time, and dipping them into the chocolate before taking a bigger bite out of them. "Yummy!" he mumbled with his mouth full.
"It's sort of a tradition, if you can even call it that." Eric chuckled, taking another bite of the fry. "Starting with my mom, whenever we have a chocolate shake and fries, we always mix them together. "It just makes the meal so much more delicious." he explained to her, dipping another fry in the shake before eating it, then returning back to his burger to finish that off.

Zhi nodded excitedly, trying the same thing Jayson did only to be given a look from Batari. He forced the three fries into his mouth with a giggle.
Batari returned her attention to Eric, picking up another fry and dipping it into her milkshake. "I see." She replied with a smile before putting the french fry in her mouth.
