The assassin's came back to the beach the next week.
This time, Altair was more than ready. Desmond and Ezio had spent the entire week getting rid of Altair's fear of water and teaching him how to swim.
" You ready Altair ?" asked Desmond
" Ready as I'll ever be Des." came the reply from an eager Altair.
" OK Altair, on the count of three." came from Lucy.
" One_ ." Lucy was interupted
" THREE " shouted Ezio as he threw Altair into the foamy sea.
As anyone who is reading this fic would have expected, Altair almost drowned. He shwallowed 10 gallons of salty water, a goldfish, some more water, a condom and a half eaten corndog.
" Well, now that you cant swim, maybe the rest of us can go have some fun." Shaun bitched as always.
" I was not ready."
" Well you probably never will." Ezio coldly said.
" One of these days i will be able to swim." muttered Altair
It seemed that Altair had lost faith in his aquatic abilities. Then the unexpected happened.
" I'm gonna give another try."
" Oh Altair." said Maria with a wierd glow in her eyes.
" Its for our future Maria."
Altair stood next to the sea. It was just him and the sea. For the first and only time in one of my fics , there is a quite and serious atmosphere.
The fear of failing, the fear of losing, the fear of getting wedgies from Ezio.
It was to much for Altair, He let go of his stiff body and took a step.
Then he became stiff again. With all the thoughts in his mind, Altair didnt see the 40 foot wave that was approaching him .
" Altair, get out of the way." someone shouted.
" Wha_ DAMNIT..."
" Somebody save him ." Maria shouted
The wave broke on Altair, engulfing him in the waves. Then when the wave passed, there lied Altair in a puddle of water.
" Altair" someone shouted again.
Altair came to realization. He was floating on a 2 foot deep puddle.
" I CAN SWIM MOTHAFUCKA I CAN SWIM " shouted Altair
" When the rest of the assassins saw Altair's "swiming" they couldnt help but grin.
" Well brother, it seems that you can swim." declared Ezio
" YOU BET YOUR ASS , I CAN SWIM." xame the reply
Ezio and Desmond picked up Altair and threw him into the ocean. And like always Altair drowned like a stone only to wake up in Maria's lap a couple of hours later.
" Was that a dream ?" Altair asked himself.
Little did he know that his " dream" was cought on camera and would come to bug him for the rest of his life.
