Because Braet was a very naughty boy
Looking around the small, neat kitchen in which he was standing Dante couldn't help but wonder if something had gone horribly wrong "You sure we're in the right place babe? Only...this doesn't exactly scream Emerald at me" Dante drawled as he examined the floral curtains hanging above the sink "How should I know? Facebook isn't exactly a reliable source for reconnaissance information now is it?" Tonya retorted, brushing her long candy pink hair back into place wondering why exactly they had come here in the first place. Personally Dante had thought it had been a pretty good idea; find Gile's long abandoned account and then trawl through his friends list until they found a photograph that could lead them to his location...well...possible location. This was jump number three and it was beginning to look as unlikely as the others. Or at least that was the case until they heard the sound of voices coming from the direction of the front door.
Moving through the empty house towards the sound of voices Dante would find a pair of men talking to one another on the front step. Without his trademark green hair and sporting a beard it would take Dante several moments to recognise his friend; A broad grin spreading across his face as he spoke "Emerald! long time no see!" he announced clapping his friend upon the back in what was intended to be a friendly manner but resulted in staggering the poor guy into his friend prompting Dante to offer a hasty apology to the man in question "Sorry Group Therapy, my bad...anyway where was I?...Oh yeah...Emerald it's time for you to man up, Tonya take us back to base" he called to the pretty Asian with his arm firmly about Giles shoulder lest he took the opportunity to escape.
It was only after the words had left his lips that Dante would realise that he had said the wrong thing; watching as Tonya's hands balled up into fists and a glare appearing on her pretty face "Take. Us. back...I'm not a freaking bus service Dante!" Tonya screamed at the top of her lungs as all of the petty irritations about the situation came to a head "....I'm sick and fed up with this! Take me there Tonya, take us there Tonya, Here's a grainy photo Tonya get us there with pin point accuracy Tonya, don't worry about the place not existing or if there might a car coming Tonya we want to go there now Tonya, no one ever asks me if I want to go anywhere, so you know what, If you want to go somewhere Dante...Buy a damn car!" watching as Tonya took several deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself down, Dante took the opportunity to wipe the stupefied look off of his face before cautiously speaking to his irate girlfriend in a low voice "gee I'm sorry babe...um...where would you like to go then?" he asked, hoping to diffuse the situation.
Despite having now been asked it was clear that Tonya was embarrassed to say after her explosive outburst as she awkwardly shifted her feet "I want to go to the beach" she eventually mumbled in response "Ok, the why don't the three of us all go to the beach and I'll buy us all an ice cream...sound good" Dante responded in obvious relief, however by this point Giles had had enough of the surreal experience he'd found himself in and decided to quickly interrupt "Dante...why are you doing this to me?" the question prompting the large southerner to blink in surprise "isn't it obvious?...its April the first and Braet likes to live dangerously"
