I wake up to the sound of sizzling. I get up and crawl to the entrance of the tent and open it up. I see D. Va frying eggs in a pan over a lit fire.
"Good morning, Jason!" D. Va exclaims,
"Morning," I reply to D. Va half asleep
She passes me a plate of eggs and a cup of water. I sit down on a log across from D. Va and begin to eat. We had made arrangements to go to a lake that was on the edge of the map we were provided earlier.
"Ready to go swimming?" D. Va asks me with excitement.
"Of course." I reply trying to sound excited.
After we finish breakfast, we take turns changing into our swim gear in the tent. After that, we both set out to find the lake. I brought the map of the campgrounds with us on our journey. I had a hard time finding where we are because of how far away from the rest of the camp we are located. I eventually found that we are barely on the map. Eventually we arrived at the lake. The map had it located at the top right corner. The lake was expansive, surrounded by dense foliage and tree lines as if a wall separated us from the outside world. The lake was surprisingly clear as if it had never come in contact with the human world. D. Va wasted no time submerging herself into the water till only her head was visible above the water
"Cold cold cold!" she called out.
She shivered beneath the water for a few minutes. Her breath becoming ragged and heavy, but eventually she looked up at me after growing accustomed to the temperature of the water
"Well, what are you waiting for? hop in." D. Va taunted me.
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I reply.
As I slowly waded into the water to get used to it taking it an inch at a time. All D. Va did was roll her eyes and protest
"I asked you to swim with me not waltz like a mummy a millimeter a minute!" She complained.
"It's cold" I explained.
D. Va however had other plans than to wait for my comfort. She dashed underneath the water towards me and emerged from below. In one swift motion, she had her hands on my shoulders and pulled me beneath the surface of the water. I tried to put up some resistance however in the confusion it was counterproductive. Once my head broke the surface again I found D. Va smirking definitely obviously proud of her accomplishments. I however was freezing
"Th-that's n-not F-funny." I stutter out through chattering teeth
D. Va only laughs and responds "it was for your own good, you need to be tough or else no one will take you seriously!" She scolded me.
I only hung my head in embarrassment. However D. Va realized she came off more hostile than she originally intended
"Sorry… I took it to far" she sighed apologetically.
"Hey you adjusted to the water yet?" she inquired
I just realized that I no longer felt cold and I was used to the water.
"Yeah." I replied softly.
"Race you across the lake!" she said with a determined look on her face. We swam for an hour until we were too tired to continue. As we were walking back we tackle the pressing issue of the state of our tent. We take more time to methodically place all of the stakes and ensure that the tent is set as to the instructions on the tent case. By the time, we are fully finished it is growing dark and we decide to call it a day.
