Heavy came screeching to an abrupt halt about a centimetre from the pool's edge and the rest of the group were forced to stop in a similar manor, minus Scout, who was still being waved like a flag in Heavy's massive hand.

"Whatever you do: DON'T. YOU. DARE. LET. GO. BASTARD." Scout growled. Heavy laughed, causing the skinny teen to be jiggled around even more.

"Leetle man funny! Make Heavy laugh!"

"Uh, thanks, dude. NOW PUT ME DOWN!!!"

As Heavy obliged, gently setting Scout down upon one of the Announcer's large sunbeds, the rest of the team had already bagged the changing room. Scout ran to the door, pounding furiously on the wood.

"Hey no fair! There's gotta be room in there!"

"Maybe for you, but not for him." Spy's voice replied snidely. Heavy made a face like a rejected puppy.

"L-Leetle man no leave Heavy all alone…. That not fair…. Leetle man Heavy's f-friend…"

Scout groaned and plonked himself back down on the sunbed.

"Fine…"

"What the heck're they doin' in there?" Scout groaned, still sitting in the same position as five minutes ago, whilst Heavy had opted to lie down and had started dozing lightly.

"Leetle man!" Heavy's head shot up. Scout jumped about 3 foot in the air.

"What!?" he asked in alarm.

"I no got any svim shorts!" Heavy flailed around.

"And…. What am I s'pposed to do 'bout that?" Scout asked warily. Heavy smiled.

"Leetle man lend Heavy some because Leetle man is Heavy's new best friend." He stated. Scout rolled his eyes exaggeratedly.

"C'mon man, that ain't never gonna work!"

"…Why?"

"Well… I'm… uh… like, really small for my age… and you're… um, a pretty big guy and--"

"YOU CALL HEAVY FAT!?!?" Heavy roared suddenly.

"N-no, n-n-n-no, no! It's just, y-you're kinda… taller than me!" the boy replied carefully, "Why don't you ask Demoman or summat?"

"DEMOMAN WEAR GAY TRUNKS!!"

Scout blinked.

"Uh, OK… you could ask Soldier--"

"SOLDIER WEAR SPEEDO!! Heavy want to borrow Leetle man trunks! Leetle man have good taste!" Scout sighed. "Fine. Fine, you can borrow my trunks - but I'd better get them back the way they were before! And you CAN'T have the baseball ones!"

Scout dashed off to fetch his spare pair while the Heavy attempted to sit on a chair, crushed it, and then sat on the floor.

Just after the Scout ran off, Soldier and Demoman emerged from the changing room. Sure enough, Demoman wore tight, bright yellow trunks with leafy patterns on them and the Soldier's swimming shorts were small and had Speedo branding all over them. As everyone dispersed from the changing room, one topic was present in everyone's conversations.

"Ya think he's a boy?"

"I'm pretty sure she's a lass…"

"Maybe he'll wear a bikini to try and confuse us!"

"Who cares, we'll find out any second now!"

Scout skidded to a halt next to the others, tossing the trunks at Heavy, he stared at everyone huddled together, whispering.

"Yo, did I miss something?"

Spy shushed him.

"Ze Pyro is about to come out…"

They all turned to stare at the changing room that the Pyro had made quite clear was HIS.... or hers...

"Any second..." breathed Soldier.

They heard the unlocking of the door. They saw it creek open.

"I've waited so long for this!" whispered Engie.

The door opened fully: the team gasped.

"WHAT?!"

Pyro walked out of the dressing room wearing an old-fashioned full body diving suit and helmet.

"Ahh, come on!" Sniper groaned.

"No fair!" Scout whined, pouting dramatically.

"Maggot!" Soldier yelled.

"Dang!" Engineer cursed.

Pyro gave a muffled snort.

"I zuppose 'e never wants us to know…" mused Spy.
