Shira: See? I got a boat! We have to be back before 5:00, because that's when Tim gets home from work and he'll discover his boat missing... it's noon now, so we have a few hours...
Tams: You stole it?
Shira: NO! I just borrowed without asking! But I will give it back!
D.S.: Don't worry about it! Let's get on the boat!!
*they get the boat in the water*
Shira: Who wants to drive first?
Tams: ME!!
Shira: Okies! Here...
Tams: *takes the wheel* Okay, here we go... we're going! *starts going at about 5 mph*

Tams: Huh? This is fast!!!
D.S.: Let me take over!!
Tams: Okaaaay... *sits at the bow with Shira*
D.S.: *takes the wheel* FULL-THROTTLE!!!! *laughs manically*
Shira: WAH!!!! SLOW DOWN!!!
Tams: SLOW DOWN!!!
D.S.: MWAHAHAHA!!! *still full-throttle* Oh, look, ducks!!! RUN THE DUCKS!!!!
Shira: NO!! DON'T HIT THE DUCKIES!!!
Tams: D.S!!
D.S.: *misses the ducks* Awww....
Shira: D.S.... that orange buoy up there? It means no wake, you have to slow down to about 5 mph... D.S.? D.S., SLOW DOWN!!!!
D.S.: *charges through the no-wake zone at full-throttle* MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Tams: D.S.... did you have any sugar before you came here?
D.S.: NO! Why do you say that? ^_^
Tams: Well... you're a little... out of it...
D.S.: No, of course not! I only had one cup of coffee! ... and a few cans of Mountain Dew Code Red... and some Amp... and maybe a few dozen half-liters of Surge... and--
Tams: Enough! D.S, you're too sugar high to drive!
D.S.: NO! I'M DRIVING!!
Shira: How about I drive?
D.S.: *looks at Shira*
Tams: *looks at Shira*
D.S.: *shrug*
Tams: *shrug*
D.S.: Sure...
Tams: Okay...
Shira: *takes the wheel* *slows down to a more... legal speed* Hey, know what?
Tams and D.S.: What?
Shira: See that place there before the point?
Tams and D.S.: *nod nod*
Shira: All of that place is owned by one insanely rich guy... and there's a house on there that was owned by some famous car guy as a summer home-- it's all stone and brick, no wood at all. And up here is the bell tower, where they play some pretty bell songs every hour, and then down here at the marina is a boat owned by that famous car guy... it's really big and pretty!
D.S.: Wow...
Tams: That's a lotta info...
Shira: I grew up near this lake... ^_^
Voice: Hello, minna-san!

Amelia: What are you guys doing out here?
Shira: We got bored so we snatched a boat and decided to go for a cruise!
Xellos: Oi, D.S.-san, here! *throws a green can over to their boat*
D.S.: ALL RIGHT!!! *pops the top and downs the can*
Shira: What is it?
Tams: Please don't let it be...
D.S.: *grin* SURGE!!

*both boats shoot off*
Authoress Boat: *slow* *whine*
D.S.: What's wrong? Come on come on come on what's wrong!?!?! *beats on the dashboard* They're winning!!
Shira: There's probably seaweed on the motor... Put the boat in reverse for a second...
D.S.: *puts the boat in reverse, and slams the pedal*
Authoress Boat: *shoots backwards*
Tams: YIEEE!!!! *holds on for dear life*
Shira: WAAAAH!!! D.S., STOP!!!
D.S.: *hits the brakes* What?
Slayers Boat: *reaches the marina*
D.S.: NO WAY!! THEY WON!!!
Shira: D.S.!! How about we stop and fish for a while???
D.S.: *sigh* Sure...
Tams: Fishing? Fishing is safe... right?
Shira: Relatively...
Tams: *gets out the tackle box*
Shira: *gets out the fishing poles*
D.S.: *gets out the live bait*
Shira: Okay, Tams, get me a hook, sinker, and bobber...
Tams: What what and huh?
Shira: *sigh* The curved pointy thing, the heavy metal thingy, and the bright orange ball...
Tams: OOHH!!! *gets everything and hands it to Shira*
Shira: When you set up a pole, the hook goes at the end-- *puts the hook at the end* --the sinker goes just after it-- *puts the sinker just after that* --and the bobber goes a ways up-- *puts the bobber a ways up* Then, the bait...
D.S.: *holds out a box full of icky, wiggly worms*
Shira: Uuggghh... I HATE this part... *closes her eyes and get a worm* ISH!!
D.S.: Want me to do it???
Shira: No, I don't trust you with sharp objects...
Tams: ... What are you going to do to that poor worm?
Shira: This "poor worm" gets to be our sacrifice! *evil grin* DIE, WORM!! *impales the worm on the hook*
D.S.: *watches interestedly*
Tams: *gasp* YOU KILLED THE WORM!!!
Shira: Actually, he's not dead... too bad...
D.S.: Cooooll....
Shira: Then, you cast it!
Tams: Huh?
Shira: You throw it...
Tams: OH!!! *takes her fishing pole and throws it in the lake* Now what??
Shira: ^^;;
D.S.: ^^;;
Tams: ^_^ ??
Shira: *sigh* Not the whole fishing rod, Tams...
Tams: Oooohh...
Shira: Like this... *casts the fishing line*
D.S,: *nod nod* *looks at the worm box* OOooh... worms!! *picks a worm out* I'm going to name you Mr. Wiggly! Hello, Mr. Wiggly! ^_^
Tams: Oh... now what?
Shira: Now... we wait...
Tams: ...
Shira: ^_^
Tams: ...
Shira: ^_^
Tams: ...
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Shira: ^_^
Tams: How long do we wait?
Shira: Until the bobber gets pulled down by a fish...
Tams: Oh...
Shira: ^_^
Tams: ...
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Shira: ^_^
Tams: ...
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Shira: OH!! We got something!! *reels in the line*
Line: *there's a fish there*
Shira: ICK!! It's looking at me!! Get it away, get it away, get it away, I don't like fish!!
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Tams: *gasp* THE HOOK WENT THROUGH THE FISH!!
Shira: I know, I know, get rid of it!!!
Tams: ...how?
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Shira: Take the hook out and put it in the bucket!
Tams: What bucket?
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Shira: The bucket by your feet!
Tams: *sees the bucket* OH! ... what am I doing?
Shira: GET THE FISH OUT OF MY SIGHT!!!!
D.S.: Mr. Wiggly...
Tams: *unhooks the fish and puts it back in the lake*
Fish: *floats*
Tams: Look! He's sleeping!
Shira: Why'd you put it back?
Tams: You said to get rid of it...
Shira: *sigh*
D.S.: Look, Shira-chan!! It's Mr. Wiggly!!! *shoves the worm in Shira's face*
Shira: IIIISSSHH!!!! *slaps the worm away*
Mr. Wiggly: *lands in the lake*
Un-dead Fish: *eats Mr. Wiggly*
D.S.: YOU KILLED MR. WIGGLY!!
Shira: I don't LIKE bugs!!!
Tams: A worm isn't a bug, Shira-mun...
Shira: It's in the same category!!
D.S.: Poor Mr. Wiggly... WE HAVE TO GIVE HIM A FUNERAL!!!
Shira: ^^;;
Tams: -.-;;
D.S.: We are here to say good-bye to Mr. Wiggly. His life was short, and most of it was spent six feet under. We knew him well, and now we say farewell. Now you two have to say something.
Tams: Mr. Wiggly... uh... was... a... um... worm.
Shira: Mr. Wiggly brought upon his own demise by looking at me... he was eaten by a fish.
D.S.: A truly noble way to die...
Slayers Boat: *comes back over*
Gourry: What happened? You guys ran off!
D.S.: Shira told me to put the boat in reverse, and then she told me to stop, and then you'd already won, and then what was the question again??
Gourry: UUhhh...
Tams: We went fishing! ^__^
Filia: Oh, that's nice. Did you catch anything?
Tams: YEAH! But Shira told me to get it away...
Amelia: Why?
Shira: I don't like fish! I don't look at fish, I don't touch fish, I don't eat fish... I don't like fish!!
Lina: Then why'd you go fishing?
Shira: *shrug* It seemed safer than D.S. driving the boat...
Zelgadis: That's true...
Xellos: Ara? What's that?
Everyone: What's what?
Xellos: *points* That!
*The sky is very dark and gloomy and it's getting cloudy*
Shira: It's a gale...
Everyone: *blank stares*
Shira: A storm...
Everyone: OH!
Filia: It looks like it's coming this way...
Tams: Shira-mun... should we try to go back before the storm comes?
Shira: But... to get back, we have to go THROUGH the storm!
D.S.: What's wrong with being on a boat in a storm? It'd be fun!!
Lina: You idiot!! Look at how small these boats are! They'd flip right over!!!
Zelgadis: She's right...
Amelia: I'm scared! *grabs Zelgadis's arm*
Zelgadis: ...
Gourry: Then what do we do?
Shira: Ummm...
Xellos: We ride it out ^_^
Everyone: HUH?
Xellos: We anchor and ride out the storm ^_^
Filia: BAKA!! We CAN'T ride out a storm like this! We'll all DROWN!!!
Xellos: ...?
Lina: It looks like that's our only choice. Gourry, drop the anchor...
Gourry: *picks up the anchor* *drops the anchor*
Lina: *sigh* In the water, Jellyfish!
Gourry: ?? *picks up the anchor* *drops the anchor in the water*
Shira: Yeah... I guess... D.S., drop the anchor! In the water!
D.S.: *picks up the anchor* *drops the anchor in the water*
Tams: *grabs the rail* The storm's getting closer!!!
Amelia: *grabs Zelgadis's arm tighter* I'm scared!!!
Zelgadis: ...
Lina: She's holding onto you because you've got so many floating thingies, you can't possibly sink.
Zelgadis: ...
Tams: *straps on a life jacket* Shira-mun! D.S.! You're not going to put on life jackets? Neither are you, Slayers people?
Shira: Nah, they're too uncomfortable...
D.S.: Who needs life jackets? I CAN FLY!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
Lina: I'll levitate if anything happens...
Gourry: I'll grab Lina...
Filia: I'll transform...
Xellos: I'll disappear...

Tams: My watch doesn't work when it's wet...
Lina: My watch blew up a few days ago...
Zelgadis: My watch is on the arm Amelia is holding onto...
