What sort of guy makes a good boyfriend?

And what exactly is a boyfriend?

Okay, I know this might sound stupid,
but there are boyfriends, and then there

are boyfriends.

Like, my very first boyfriend was
Anthony Gerardo.

Our common bond was building sandcastles
together.

As far as four -year -olds go, Anthony
was okay, but he did have one big

problem.

If anything I did turned out better than
anything he did, his reaction was not

exactly positive.

Clearly, this was a relationship that
wasn't destined to last.

My next boyfriend was Damon Carruthers.

We were in the same year at primary
school, and he told me he loved me.

Naturally, I said I loved him too.

Damon and I didn't really have a lot to
talk about. In fact, we had absolutely

nothing in common at all.

But Damon did achieve one thing.

He was the boy who gave me my first
kiss.

But even at that age, the kiss came with
a price tag.

After three weeks, I realised I had to
choose between my love of Damon and my

love of lollipops.

Inevitably, the lollies won and Damon
was dropped.

I was suddenly a single eight -year -old
again.

When I got to high school, I entered my
teenage rebel period.

To be honest, I was a pretty feeble
rebel, but I dressed the part.

and I soon latched onto the boyfriend to
match.

Billy Keane was the local hotshot skater
boy, and I was his crush.

He used to let me watch him skate and
look after his water bottle.

Sometimes he even smiled at me.

Billy might have been the local glamour
boy as far as skaters were concerned,

but I soon worked out that it wasn't
exactly a heap of laughs being his

girlfriend. Not that I had much time to
worry about it. He said my hands made

his water bottle too sweaty.

So on the anniversary of our first month
together, he dumped me.

My last boyfriend, before I came to
Solar Blue, was Jeven McCree.

Jeven was a couple of years older than
me and had just got into uni.

There were never any conversation
problems when Jeven was around.

He was always talking.

Only problem was, his subject matter was
extremely limited.

Like, I've got to be true to myself,
because otherwise I'm not me.

If I'm not me, who am I? Yeah.

Right. It was good that Jevon was so
open about himself.

But when the only thing someone can talk
about is themselves, it does start to

get a bit limiting after a while. I
reckon I'm just going to have to trust

instincts.

Fortunately, my instincts are pretty
good now. One of my strengths, actually.

So, if I can really focus, focusing is
another one of my plus points.

I'm pretty confident I can get it right.

Devin, can I ask you something?

Of course. You know, I'm a great
listener.

It's just that I've been wondering
lately what with you going to uni and me

going up to the solar blue, it's going
to be hard, isn't it?

I've been thinking about this too, you
know.

Really? Yeah, well, I'm going to have so
much on my plate, you know.

There's so many demands on me.

I mean, you know, I don't know how I'm
going to cope.

Right. In the end, it was pretty clear
that there wasn't enough room in Jeven's

headspace for himself and a girlfriend.

Actually, there wasn't enough room in
Jeven's headspace for himself and

so we agreed to go our separate ways.
Bye, Jeven.

So there you go, the sum total of my
childhood boyfriends.

Not a particularly impressive bunch, I
suppose, but then maybe I wasn't all

impressive to them either.

Then I came to Solar Blue.

Suddenly, the boyfriend situation
changed radically.

Within a few days of arriving here,
Charlie and I had become friends.

Don't ask me why, we just seemed to
really like each other.

Maybe that's the secret to it, the fact
that we started out as just friends. I

wasn't especially wanting to find a
boyfriend, and I don't think Charlie was

looking for a girlfriend either.

We simply enjoyed hanging out together.

This looks very industrious. What's
going on?

We're going for a picnic at Aurora Bay.
Want to come?

Thanks, but Gary and I thought we'd give
ourselves the afternoon off and go see

a movie.

Van's ready. Let's go.

See you guys.

Bye. See you tonight.

Oh, we might get dinner in town tonight,
so don't wait for us. Okay. See you.

Do you think the first two might get
together?

Who, back in Gary?

Yeah. That would be ridiculous. They're
just going to see a movie.

And having dinner.

So what? They've got to eat somewhere,
don't they? I mean, why make a big deal

out of it?

I'm not making a big deal. I'm just
posing the question.

It would be a disaster if they did,
though. A disaster? How?

Well, because instead of giving us their
attention, they'd be focusing on

themselves. Their judgment would totally
go out the window. What? It's not like

people lose their brains just because
they start going out together.

Yes, they do. It's a scientifically
proven fact. All people in love lose all

sense of responsibility.

And an old beach volleyball set. Thought
we could have a game or two.

Cool. What about Beck and Gary? Did
anyone ask them?

They've gone out together to a movie and
dinner.

Oh, what? That's a disaster.

Not you too.

What do you mean, not me too?

Adam thinks that if they get together,
we'll all become poor, neglected little

surfing students.

You can laugh at me now, but if it does
happen, then don't say I didn't warn

you, okay?

Anyway, Adam, Guy obviously agrees with
you about Beck and Gary. What are you

talking about?

You said it was a disaster that they've
gone off together.

Yeah, but I didn't mean it like that.

Well, then what's the problem?

Well, I was hoping that one of them
could drive us to Aurora Bay. And if

not here, that means we've got to walk.

The day Charlie and I moved up a step
from being just friends was the day of

picnic. Although the thing that started
it was hardly what you'd call romantic.

Oh, Lauren.

I'm sorry, are you okay?

I'll live, I think.

Wow, that's real tough, Charlie, beating
up the girls in the opposition to win a

point. I think it's about time we had
lunch anyway. What do you reckon? Oh,

what? You're just saying that because we
were winning.

Oh, as if.

Just going to wash my face.

Right, come on, let's get this picnic
sorted.

Okay.

Nice one.

It's okay, man.

How are you?

Fine. I think I've got a bit of a bruise
as a memento, though. Oh, I really am

sorry. I honestly wasn't aiming for you.
At least I'm glad to hear that.

Oh, here, I bought you that. I thought
you might like to use it. Thanks. It's

really nice of you.

I can be nice if I try.

Oh, hey, you've still got some sand in
your hair.

I suppose if there was a moment when
Charlie and I went from being friends to

something more...

This was it. I was so touched by his
consideration that I couldn't help

There you go. Perfect again.

Wow.

I guess I'm going to have to throw
volleyballs at your head more often

Sorry, Charlie. I shouldn't have done
that.

No, don't be sorry. It was great.

You mean that? Really? Yeah, absolutely.

You're not just saying that because you
don't want to hurt my feelings? No way.

And I can prove it.

Suddenly, and without anything being
said, I knew that Charlie had changed

being my friend to being my boyfriend.

What I didn't know, though, was how so
much else would change because of that.

You can't seriously tell me that Beck
and Gary would be interested in becoming

an item.

Oh, why not?

They're both adults. They both have the
same interests.

They're together a lot.

No, but they both know that they have
the responsibilities to run the place.

can they do that if they're distracted?

Plenty of husbands and wives run
businesses together.

Oh, what, now you've got them married?
No, I haven't, but you know what I mean.

All through lunch, I didn't hear a word
anyone said.

All I could think about was what had
happened between me and Charlie.

I could tell he was thinking the same
too. Okay, who wants to try some of my

awesome dessert?

This I have to try. You wouldn't say no?
All right, count me in.

Lauren?

Sorry? Do you want to try some of my
fabulous strawberry and yogurt delight?

No, thanks. I'm not really hungry.

You sure? It's really nice.

Even if he does say so himself?

Charles, my dear fellow.

Oh, no thanks. I'm fine.

Okay, suit yourselves.

Righto. Hit me up. You and Charlie are
quiet this afternoon.

Must have been the head on the head.

I think it knocked my brains out.

I hope not. Come on, Guy, what's this?
I'm not telling you. It's secret recipe.

How can you do that?

So there it was.

One minute Charlie and I were cruising
along at altitude.

The next minute we'd shot up into the
stratosphere together.

The oxygen gets thinner and it's a
little bit harder to breathe, but I

complaining. I was flying higher and
faster than I'd ever done before.

Hey, done.

Sally and I just couldn't get enough of
each other. It was like every moment we

could, we'd spend together.

Half the time, we talked about nothing
at all.

It didn't matter, though. I'd never felt
happier.

Good. What's cracking?

Nothing. Today's had no surprises
whatsoever.

It's a complete non -day, if you ask me.

Did it?

That feels cruel, doesn't it?

No, I was just like, something
interesting to happen to me at least

Is that too much to ask?

Where's Charlie and Lauren, by the way?
Yeah, don't they even eat lunch with us

anymore? Something I did was something I
said.

Probably.

Guys, do you not notice anything?

Sorry? What?

They're in love.

What? Since when?

Only since about the second week we got
here, but I don't think they realised it

at the time. Didn't you guys see how
gaga they were about each other at the

picnic? Are you serious?

Come on, Charlie hit Lauren in the head
with a volleyball.

Since when do you do that to someone
you've got the hots for? Look, I'm just

telling you what I saw, and those two
are seriously serious about each other.

Must be something in the air. First
those two, and now Beck and Gary. You're

still on about that, are you? Where were
they this morning at training?

Beck told us, mate, they had to go and
have a meeting with some counsellors. At

seven o 'clock in the morning? It was a
breakfast meeting.

What else do you expect them to have a
breakfast meeting?

Lunchtime?

You guys are too trusting. There is
something going on between them, and I

it. And the world expert on romance has
spoken.

I'd heard that when people get together,
they go backwards in lots of ways.

Well, with Charlie and me, it was
completely the opposite.

It was like we both got this sudden
burst of energy that just sent us

forward.

And with our first thing, it was like
we'd both reached another level.

Somehow, we seemed to discover this new
confidence in ourselves.

Everything was suddenly so easy.

That was slick.

You were awesome.

Oh, look, he's talking. You were carving
it up out there. Do you really think

so? Yeah, it's true. Everyone saw it.

Well done, guys. You look really sharp
out there this morning.

Sorry, excuse me.

Beck!

Oh, okay.

Alright, I'll be up in a minute.

Sorry, folks. Beck and I have to go into
town again this morning.

Just finish off with the regular
exercises.

You know the routine.

So, was I right or was I right?

About what? The nature of the universe?

Climate change?

Meaning of life?

Ha, ha, ha. About Beck and Gary. There's
something going on between those two.

Okay, there's something going on with
them. It doesn't mean it's going on

between them.

You know how conscientious they both
are. They wouldn't just bail out on us.

They're not that kind of people. Dude,
if you're worried about things, why

you just talk to them about it? Well,
what's the point? I'll just deny it.

Well, what did Charlie and Lauren think?

Um, I mean... I don't think they'd think
much about anything right now. They're

pretty wrapped in each other, aren't
they?

That's the understatement of the year.

Once Charlie and I hooked up, we weren't
really aware of what the others thought

about it.

In fact, we weren't aware of anything
apart from each other.

And to be honest, we didn't really care
what anyone else thought.

We were having too good a time together.

So what did you get?

Even schoolwork was fun.

No. What?

It couldn't be.

chances.

Wednesday night pool game, folks. Time
to close the book.

Do you want to?

I think we might miss it this week.

Yeah, we really want to crack these
calculus problems.

They'll still be there at the end of the
game.

Oh, that's cool. You guys play. I'm too
busy keeping Lauren under control.

Who's keeping who under control?

I'm checking and... Oh, you've got to
show me.

We're going to go after a bit, guys. We
shouldn't be too late.

Well, where are you going?

We're just meeting some people.

Don't wait up.

Bye.

That's the fourth dick appearing out
this week. Does anyone still think

nothing going on?

Something's going on all right, but they
don't look like they're madly in love

to me.

Another expert on romance. We are so
lucky to be surrounded by boys who know

much of the affairs of the heart.

Guy's got a point. I hardly think Beck
and Gary are in the same league as

and Lauren.

Yeah, I know.

Those two joining us, by the way.

The world does not exist for them
anymore. They have eyes only for each

Well, this is going to be a super
exciting day, isn't it?

Take care of yourself, man.

When I took time out to think about it,
as a boyfriend, Charlie ticked all the

right boxes.

Number one, he's interested in me.

Number two,

he makes me laugh.

Number three, he's always happy to help
me.

It couldn't be.

Number four, we both like the same
thing.

And number five, he's so very, very
cute.

All in all... You'd have to agree that's
a pretty impressive list.

From where I sat, it added up to Charlie
being just about the perfect boyfriend.

What's got you so tickled? Oh, nothing.

Look like all your Christmases have come
at once.

Maybe they have.

Goodnight.

Night.

What I couldn't tell Bridget, or anyone
for that matter, was the dream that was

starting to take shape in my head.

that Charlie and I would both qualify
for the Pro Tour and take on the world

together.

Naturally, we'd both end up as world
champions and become the perfect surfing

couple. That would be the ultimate
present of all time.

People in love aren't really sane, you
know. Oh, attention, everyone. The love

doctor's speaking.

It's true. In some societies, they
actually wouldn't let people who've

love make important decisions for at
least six months.

What kind of decisions?

Like signing legal documents, buying a
house, that sort of thing. Why not?

Well, they reckon that when people fell
in love, they totally lost their marbles

and couldn't be trusted to act
responsibly.

Like Romeo and Juliet.

Yes.

Sorry, guys. You'll have to fill me in
on that one.

The Shakespeare play are about two
teenagers who are so in love they ended

dying for each other.

That's a bit off, isn't it? Yeah, but
it's a perfect example of what I'm

about. Where did you find out about all
this, anyway?

At the dentist, actually.

What? The dentist?

You know what it's like. You always have
to, like, sit there for about two

hours, and the only thing to do is read
those boring magazines they keep.

Oh, and I thought you were turning into
a real romantic.

I am a romantic. Just don't ask me to do
a Romeo for you, that's all.

Or Charlie and Lauren either.

They're really good at bat, haven't
they?

And if that magazine's right, they're
going to be like it for the next six

months. By which time the year will be
over.

Yeah, well, it was nice knowing them
while it lasted.

I have to warn you, I've only ever been
bowling once and I was terrible.

That's okay. Adam needs someone to make
him look good. What?

I'm going to bowl you off the alley.

Careful, boys. Your hairy chests are
showing.

I've left my money upstairs.

Do you want us to wait?

No, you go ahead. I'll catch up in a
minute.

Okay.

I'm so hungry.

Who's cooking tonight?

You're in luck. We are.

Oh, really? Sweet.

Hey,

Adam. We're cooking tonight. Hope you
guys are hungry.

Well, we're actually going bowling, so
don't worry about it. You just have to

look after yourself.

Really? Yeah, have fun.

Yeah, see ya.

Oh, never mind. All the more for us.

I wonder why they didn't ask us to join
them.

Did you really want to go bowling?

Not especially, but they could have
asked.

Oh, don't worry.

Tonight we're going to have the biggest
slap -up dinner yet.

Although Charlie wasn't concerned.

Something about the way Adam just
breezed out and left her started to eat

Had we done something to upset the
others? I couldn't think of anything,

sure felt like one of us had offended
somebody.

All right, how good was that night?
Yeah, just because you won.

Well, I'm proud to say I've gone from
lousy to hopeless. No, you just need to

take better notice of my coaching.

Hi, guys. Anything good on TV?

He didn't miss much.

Where are Beck and Gary?

They went out. Again.

They're adults, Adam. They are allowed
out, you know. I don't care.

Our training routine has become a
shambles.

It's none of my business what they do in
their time off, but this week has been

seriously below average.

I have to say, for once, I think Adam's
right.

So what do you suppose we do?

Call a house meeting, talk to them. Not
all of us. Why not? It's affecting all

of us. When?

The sooner the better. How about
tomorrow?

I'm confused.

Oh, Adam's just getting worked up over
nothing, if you ask me.

No, no one asked what we thought.

Why would they? It's clearly something
Adam's been droning on about to them.

They're probably just saving us the
boredom.

Still, a house meeting's something that
involves all of us.

And we'll be there.

Look, don't worry about it.

Maybe Charlie was right.

Maybe I was making a mountain out of a
molehill.

Things still didn't feel right, though.

But Cassie and I were talking and she
fell asleep.

I didn't want to wake her, though, so I
just covered her in your dinner. I hope

you don't mind.

No, no, that's fine.

I'll just sleep in Cassie's bed.

Night. Night.

If I needed a sign that things were
wrong, then seeing Cassie in my bed was

Suddenly, my new perfect life with my
new perfect boyfriend was turning out to

be a lot less than perfect.

And the reason was obvious.

Charlie, we're losing our friends.

What?

Look out there.

They're out there and we're both here.

So?

It's been like that for the past couple
of weeks. We've just been so wrapped up

in each other we haven't noticed.

Notice what?

That we're drifting away and they're
cutting themselves off from us.

They don't include us anymore because
they don't think we want to be included.

So what are you saying? They don't like
us being together?

No, not at all.

But we have to reach out to them.

Otherwise we'll lose them for good.

We just need to ask what's going on,
that's all.

I mean, it's not like we want to pry
into your private lives or anything.

Because what you guys do together in
your own time is totally your own

It's cool.

We're all mature people here, right?
Mate, just get on with it, will you?

What's wrong?

Oh, you've just been prattling on for
the last five minutes and you haven't

actually said anything.

It's okay, Adam. I think we get the
picture.

And I'm sorry to disappoint you all, but
Gary and I are not an item.

With all due respect to Beck, I'm pretty
happy with the girlfriend I already

have. Oh, you have a girlfriend?

Strange as it may seem, yeah.

We've been going out for four years.

How come we haven't met her?

Like Adam said, you know, private life
is private life. But I will make amends,

and I will bring her around, and I will
introduce you all.

But what about when you went to dinner
and a movie together?

We did, with Gary's girlfriend and a
couple of my friends.

But what about all the missed training
sessions and the going out?

I'm sorry about that. I know it's been a
bit disruptive, but we didn't want you

to worry. Worry about what?

Oh, the local council just had a problem
with our lease.

For a while there, it looked as if we
might have to close down Solar Blue

because of changes to the zoning laws.

So we had to have all these crazy
meetings at all hours of the day and

just to sort all this out.

Which you'll be pleased to hear we
finally have. Our lease is secure.

So, as of today, training will be back
to normal.

Well, all's well that ends well.

Agreed. So who wants breakfast?

Yeah, I'll be in that. Yeah, me too.

Excuse me, Beck.

Charlie and I need to talk to the others
for a couple of minutes. Could you and

Gary... We will be in the office. Come
and get us when you're done.

What's the problem, guys?

We think you know the answer to that.

The problem is us.

Me and Charlie.

We, uh... Obviously, we've been a bit...

preoccupied with each other recently.

A bit?

Okay, well, a lot.

We realise that we've sort of cut
ourselves off from you guys, and we're

that we have. We really didn't mean to.
And we'd like to come back and join you,

if you'll have us back.

Well, according to the love doctor here,
you guys are meant to be in Spain for

the next six months.

We are.

But seeing as how he was so wrong about
Beck and Garrett means he's probably

wrong about you two as well. But I think
we can take the risk.

Of course you can come back. We were
missing you.

Although I did rather enjoy sleeping in
your bed last night.

I'm so comfortable. You cannot have my
bed.

You're a pigeon.

Okay, unless anyone else wants to fall
in love right this second, I say we have

breakfast. Let's go.

So what sort of guy does make a good
boyfriend?

Like I said, Charlie ticked all the
right boxes.

But there was one more that I'd never
thought about until it was almost too

late. A good boyfriend doesn't take you
away from your friends.

And if you're like me, you'll want both
the boyfriend and the friends.

Then again, maybe I'm just greedy.

And there's too much choice, and not
enough time It's too far, no one's mind,

aiming for the head
