The day was relatively calm; nobody was fighting over stupid things, no one wanted to beat the other…

"Lily!"

Wait, never mind.

"Lily! Wait for me!" a voice broke the peaceful silence. Well at least it was peaceful…

The girl in question shook her head, having already reached the lower branches of a tall willow tree.

She began to climb, ignoring the boy below her, and reached the fourth branch before he decided to follow her.

She glanced down for just a second, a rush of vertigo hitting her. As she closed her eyes, he began climbing up.

She felt the tree begin to bend, and quickly opened her eyes to see him almost one branch above her.

It turned into a game, each trying to outdo the other. Just as she reached the last branch, he yelled from below, as the tree sway gently, giving both of them the sense of a rocking ship.

"Lily! That isn't fair! You had a head start…" he said, wrapping his hand quickly around the trunk of the tree.

"Not much of one, Scorpie," she said, looking down at him and sticking her tongue out.

He muttered under his breath, trying to reach the top of the tree without letting go of the branch he was on.

She laughed, having caught what he said.

He looked at her, finally having reached the point where he was nose to nose with her. Their breath mingled, and she shivered in anticipation.

Her gaze fell to his mouth, and her heartbeat quickened almost painfully. She wasn't sure who instigated it later, but she was suddenly pressing her lips to his.

The kiss lasted only long enough to cause heat to flow through their connected bodies, and then they were staring at each other, faces red.

The silence was almost awkward, until Lily broke it, saying, "Race you to the bottom."

And just like that, she began bolting down the tree, giggling to herself. He followed her, muttering under his breath, "Spider monkey…"
