"Hey Max!! Catch!" yelled Gazzy. He threw something small, roundish, and bright green at me. By reflex, I reached up to grab it, tightening my grip as I did so, so that I wouldn't drop it, surprised by its weird squishiness. As I tightened my grip, it (insert prefix of your choice here)ploded, dropping water all over me, soaking my hair, my clothes, my skin. Actually, it felt pretty good. But that wasn't stopping me from murdering him.
I pushed my sopping hair out of my eyes, to see Iggy and Gazzy cracking up on the other side of the cave. "You guys are so dead!!" I launched myself at them and they stopped laughing and started running, towards the mouth of the cave. I unfurled my wings and started after them at hyperspeed, so that I ran into Gazzy, threw my arms around his squirming body, and just kept going, into the night sky. He whooped gleefully, never having gone this fast before. I dove towards the ground and he shrieked with laughter. Then he just started shrieking when he realized I was headed for the lake. I levelled out about ten feet over the water, than dropped him unceremoniously into it. He didn't even have time to unfurl his wings before entering the water with a splash that I just barely cleared.
I laughed and swooped upwards, enjoying the feel of the wind ruffling my hair and sliding over my wet skin, cooling it down even more. I glanced back at the cave and saw Fang, sitting on the ledge before it, watching with a faint smile on his face. I flew up there and landed beside him. "Hello, all-powerful watcher man." I was being silly, I knew. I just felt happy, for once.
"Hello. Your shirt's wet." Fang said, eyeing the shirt in question.
I looked down and suppressed a shriek. My light blue shirt was soaked, and beneath it my only bra that had any semblance of sexiness was obviously black and lacy (I'm more of a sports bra girl, personally, but last week, Nudge decided that she should start wearing a bra, and my sports bras are the really stretchy kind, so they fit her. That girl.)
I raced into the cave to change it, while Iggy and the just-returned, soaking wet Gazzy cackled.
