Gamer and Jasmine were on a date at the beach. They were having lots of fun building sand castles, chasing each other around, and just relaxing.
(Yes they're wearing swimsuits instead of their regular clothes. I just don't feel like describing them.)
Jasmine said, "Hey Gamer, why don't we go in the water?" As soon as she said this, Gamer started to feel a little queasy.
He replied, "Jasmine, why don't you go up ahead? I need to go use the bathroom."
Jasmine shrugged and replied back, "All right. I'll be waiting."
Gamer nodded and said, "Thanks." He sped up to the bathroom.
Jasmine thought, "That was strange. Even for Gamer. Oh well." She went out into the water. But not too deep.
With Gamer:
Gamer was in one of the bathroom stalls. He was puking. When he was done, he flushed the toilet.
He thought, "That was weird. Why did I throw up? It can't have anything to do with the mention of the water. No. It's gotta be something else." He ran out and went to where Jasmine was.
Jasmine asked, "You ready to go further out?" Gamer, not trusting his own mouth, simply nodded. They held hands as they walked farther out into the ocean. When they were up to their waists, Gamer suddenly started shuddering.
Jasmine asked him in concern, "Gamer, what's wrong?"
Gamer replied, "The water's just cold, that's all." They continued walking farther out. When the water was a little farther up their bodies, Gamer suddenly started crying. He buried his head on his girlfriend's shoulder. Jasmine instinctively rubbed his quills to calm him down, whatever was upsetting him right now.
She asked, "Gamer, why are you crying?"
Gamer replied between purrs, "I don't know." Suddenly, he thought of something.
He thought to himself, "No way. It can't be." Suddenly he realized that it was the only thing that made sense right now. He was suddenly and inexplicably... afraid of water.
He didn't want to tell Jasmine until he was sure. He told her, "Jasmine, I'll be right back. I need to go to the bathroom again."
She shrugged again and replied, "All right. I'll be waiting out here."
Before Gamer went back he asked, "Actually, could you wait for me on the sand? I can't explain why yet."
Jasmine sighed, "All right. But hurry back." Gamer nodded as he sped back to the bathroom to sort things out for himself.
