Okay...

This was giftart from a good friend I had in the nineties, his name was Allen Fishbeck. He went by the name Capt. Chipmunk and he created the Girls of Mayhem County. This was a lovely piece of Coco Destene and Al on the beach, and was a result of some roleplay we did together... At one point Coco was going to be with Al, but he disappeared...

<backstory>

“So Coco, what are you doing later?”
Coco thought for a moment, then said, “Uhm, not too much. I'm not staying with anyone...”
Al inquired, “What would you like to do?”
“Well...” She stammered, “I'm not sure... I'm still new to town... being in a studio and all, I bet there are lots of movies to see... we just ate... mmm...”
“Would you like a walk on the beach?” Al asked.
“Oooh... yes, I'd like that...” She smiled.
Al took her hand and headed for the beach. “So my pretty lady, what else brings you to town?”
“I'm here with my cousin Roxy... if it wasn’t for your studio giving her a part as a stuntfox, I wouldn’t be here... I'd still be in Reno at a dead end job at the Jack's Wild Casino...” She sighed, thinking back to the minimum wage she got and the rude customers.
“Well, I was happy to help out. Besides I got something very nice out of it.”
“...and what’s that, Mr. Chipmunk?” Coco asked coyly.
“I got to meet you.” Al smiled and squeezed Coco's hand.
She blushed again and took a breath. “I ahh... I'm glad to have met you... You are a very sweet and handsome man... I have met lots of other guys, but they are jerks...” She assumed a male voice, as best she could, but softly, 'What's up babe? Can I buy you a drink? Howza bout you and me going back to MY place?' Seems all guys want is my body... you know the type... but not you... you seem... different...”
“Well Coco, I would have been blind not to notice that you are a very beautiful woman.”
“Aww, you are sweet...” Coco kissed him on the cheek.
He blushed. “Awwww.”
They walked, hand in hand, across the warm sand and down to the shoreline. A cool salty breeze blew across the surf. It was a pleasant early evening, the sun made its way down as they strolled along, enjoying each others company.
“As for me though, I prefer to find the beauty, underneath the good looks. I have been out with attractive women before, but that is all they had, good looks. They were dull and boring inside.” Al said thoughtfully.
“I hope you do not find me dull...” She paused.
“No, I find you charming, intelligent, fun, delightful. I am thrilled to be here with you.” Coco was surprised by the compliment. She gazed out at the sea wistfully.
“The sun is so beautiful... setting... Please... sit with me and chat... I want to watch the sun... the way the light glistens off the water... I haven’t been to the beach since I was a child, with Miguel and mom and dad...”
Al pulled out a blanket to sit on.
“Oh, you brought a blanket!”
Al helped her sit down on the blanket as the waves splashed and listened to the soft sound. She breathed in the salt air. Gulls cried in the distance as he put his arm around her.
“I hope you can stay, I would like to show you around. I don't get much chance to do things with someone as delightful and pretty as you.”
Coco smiled. “I'll stay as long as Roxy has a job here... I know that that shouldn't hinge on anything, but right now, I don't have a job. I was an actress, but I broke contract... Lisa needed me more than the studio... But now Lisa has Tim to take care of her... and I've just been following Roxy around... I mean, who knows?” She looked up in thought. “This is a big world... But I shouldn't rely on someone to take care of me all my life... But what job skills does a washed up actress have?” She frowned, then looked at Al. “You are very kind... a true gentleman. I hope you will want to... see me again... I'm sorry... I'm being presumptuous... She blushed.
“I would be honored to be able to see you again. I want to be your Knight in Shining Armor. If it is okay with you and can nose around the studio and see what jobs are open. It's my dad's place, I normally don't meddle.”
Al held Coco close while they watched the sunset. “I enjoy coming down here, so peaceful. When I got my first royalty check, I bought a house down here on the beach. Man, did we party.”
“Really?” She looked around.
“..Is it nearby?”
The sun disappeared into the ocean as the sky turned brilliant hues of violet, pink and red and orange....

It goes on from there, but I won't bore you XD

I haven't talked to Al in several years.... I don't think he posts to FA and googling him comes up fruitless.... Does anyone know of his whereabouts? He was pretty nice and a fantastic artist, I'd love to talk to him again someday *sigh* I'm kind of assuming the worst.
