Season 3 Chapter 2: Taking a Dip
Enchanted City was currently in the middle of a heat wave, and everyone was trying to stay cool. And at Giselle's Boarding House for Kids, the children were just hanging around trying to stay cool. They were currently in the TV room, watching some morning cartoons.
"This hear is killing me." said Maria. "Yeah, it's not even noon yet, and it's probably ninety degrees." said Luke. "Yeah, I'm fried." said Rain. Then Ramona's voice came on over the intercom. "Kids, breakfast is ready." she said.
"Coming, Ms. Badwolf." said Fred. The kids turned off the TV, and went downstairs to the dining room. Soon the kids were eating toast, bacon, eggs, and orange juice, while Farrah was feeding baby Zack baby food.
"Good morning, children. So what's your plan for today?" asked Giselle. "We don't know, Miss Goose." said Winter. "It's too hot to do anything." said Jazz. "Too hot, nonsense, we can always have fun no matter what the weather." said Giselle.
"I have an idea, why don't we have a pool party?" suggested Meesehell. "Pool party?" asked all the kids excitedly. "Yeah, what better way to cool down and have fun." she said. The kids could already picture it, splashing in the pool, eating hamburgers and hot dogs, dancing to music, and playing pool games.
While the kids were excited Kit was a bit nervous. "So it's settled, this afternoon we'll have a pool party." said Giselle. "I better get cooking then." said Ramona, going back to the kitchen. The kids quickly finished breakfast, and ran back upstairs to get their bathing suits ready.
But Kit lagged behind. "Kit, is everything okay?" asked Justine. "What, oh everything's fine, Ms. Dancer." said Kit, and he ran upstairs. In his and Cameron's room, he sat on his bed, while Cameron pulled out his stuff.
"Swimsuit, beach ball, and my nose plug. I'm already for the party." said Cameron. "That's great, Cameron." said Kit. "Why aren't you getting your bathing suit?" he asked. "I'll get it in a minute." said Kit.
"Well see you at the pool." said Cameron, leaving the room. The truth was Kit was nervous about going into the pool because he didn't know how to swim. But he would never tell his friends, he'd be too embarrassed.
"Well, maybe I'll just skip the pool party, and stay indoors instead." said Kit to himself. As the kids headed outside in their bathing suits, Kit stopped Jake. "Hey, Jake can you tell the adults that I'm skipping the pool party?" he asked.
"You're skipping it, but why?" asked Jake. "I uh, I just don't want go." said Kit. "Well okay, I'll tell them." said Jake, and he went with the others outside. Outside the whole yard was decorated for the pool party.
There were lots of pool toys, fake palm trees, lanterns, and paper flowers. There was rock music courtesy of Melody, Ramona was manning the grill, and Meeshell was up on the lifeguard stand.
On the food table there was lemonade, soda, cupcakes, hot dogs, hamburgers, potato salad, and salad. "Is everyone ready to have fun?" asked Giselle. "Yeah!" yelled the kids. "Then have fun, and listen to Ms. Mermaid." she said.
As Farrah and Justine watched the kids, they noticed that Kit wasn't there. "Has anyone seen, Kit?" asked Farrah. "He said he was skipping the party." said Jake. "Skipping a pool party on a hot day like this?" asked Justine.
Inside Kit was in the rec room, playing pool. He heard the sound of laughing outside, so he looked out the window. He saw that his friends were having an awesome time playing in the water, and eating junk food.
"Kit?" asked a voice. Kit looked up, to see Giselle, holding a mirror pad. "Your mom wants to facetime you." she said, handing him the device. "Hi, Mom." said Kit, taking the mirror pad. "Hi, honey how's it going?" asked Kitty.
"Fine, everyone's outside at a pool party." said Kit. "That sounds, fun why aren't you outside with them?" asked Kitty. "I can't go out there, Mom." said Kit. "Why, Kitten?" asked Kitty. "Because I don't know how to swim." Kit answered.
"I'm sure Ms. Mermaid would teach you, she's a great swimmer." suggested Kitty. "But then the others will find out, and they'll laugh at me." said Kit. "Now, Kit your friends are good kids, they wouldn't laugh at you just because you can't swim." said Kitty.
But Kit didn't say anything. "Do you want to let a simple situation like this stop you from having fun?" asked Kitty. "Well no." said Kit. "Then go out there, and have a great time." said Kitty. Kit thought about it, then smiled.
"Okay, thanks, Mom." said Kit. "No problem, Kitten. Have fun." said Kitty. And the two hung up. Kit went back to his room, changed into his bathing suit, and went out to the back. Out there, he saw that his friends were laughing and having fun.
"Hey, Kit you decided to come out." said Fern. "Yeah." he said. "Why'd you wait so long?" asked Fred. "Because...I can't swim." said Kit, as he waited for the others to start laughing. "That's no big deal." said Owen.
"Yeah, my mom can teach you." said Coral. "It's true, I can." said Meeshell, coming over. They got into the pool, and Meeshell showed Kit a few swimming steps. Until he got better, he stayed in the shallow end, but it was still fun.
Everyone had fun having splash wars, playing volleyball, and eating burgers and hot dogs. And the end of the day, the kids went to bed early, after a whole day of fun. And as Kit lied down in bed, he thought he did pretty good in the pool.
"Who says cats can't swim?" he asked himself, and went to sleep.
