Hey everyone. Thanks for reviewing. Here's the next chapter! Enjoy: ) Also, Jaden is kind OOC in this chapter. Just FYI. Another thing, I will no longer be able to post every Friday. I will post every other Friday from now on. School starts in less than two weeks and my house is hectic right now. I will keep writing and with any luck, I will get so far ahead, I will once again be able to update every Friday. First trimester is easy so that will most likely happen. I'll let you know.

Narrative POV
Everyone got back into the pool, except Zane. Alexis and Morgan were hanging out around in the water in front of the life guard stand. Hassleberry was trying to convince Syrus to go into deeper waters. He refused of course. Aster was talking with Atticus on the line that separated the deep end of the pool from the shallow end. Mindy and Jasmine were laughing about something. Blair was just swimming around with Bastion. Chazz was resting his feet in the deep end of the pool. Zane leaned against the right leg of the life guard stand and began to think.
"What the hell is Danny doing?" Mark wondered out loud. He looked up at him.
"What?" Mark pointed towards were Danny was standing. Zane turned his gaze there. Danny was talking with his crones, no doubt planning something. They were near the deep end of the pool. He was whispering and laughing. The other guys were smiling evilly. "I don't know." Mark leaned back in his seat, a serious look on his face.
"I don't wanna a repeat of the kid incident." Zane nodded.
"Who would?" Mark shrugged.
"People who like seeing other people suffer." Zane looked at Danny.
"Like Danny?" Mark shook his head.
"No. Danny just picks on people his own size or age. He wouldn't stoop so low as to picking on a five year old. That's why he was let back in. Because it was an accident. But Morgan still says that if something like that happens again, he's out. For good."
"I'd be like that, too," Zane said. One of Danny's boys walked by them, an evil smile playing on his lips. They looked at him closely as he passed. Danny was planning something, but what?
"Hey, Zane?" Syrus called. He looked down at his little brother.
"What is it, Sy?" He pointed to the locker room.
"Are you gonna go check on…," he began but his brother cut him off.
"Not yet." Syrus looked up at him in confusion. He sighed and nodded. Hassleberry walked over to them.
"Come on, Private Truesdale! Let's go into deeper waters," he said. He shook his head.
"No way, Hassleberry. I'm not going anywhere near deep water." He walked off towards the deep end. He was going to grab his towel that was sitting on a tanning chair down there, where Chazz left it. He walked right behind Danny, who was talking with one of his boys. Suddenly, the boy that passed them awhile back spoke up.
"Yo, Danny!" he yelled. Danny whipped around, his arms fully extended, in the direction of the voice. His forearm hit Syrus right in the throat, throwing him into the deep end of the pool. He landed in it on his back with a huge splash. Danny was smiling.
"Syrus!" Zane yelled. Syrus' head shot out of the water. He was splashing the water with his hands trying to stay afloat. He looked terrified. Danny's boys were laughing and Danny was smiling. Mark jumped off of his chair and ran over to the edge of the deep end and dove in. He grabbed the panic stricken Syrus and pulled him out of the pool. Zane ran over to the edge and helped Mark get him out. Everyone else ran over to us when they saw what happened. Syrus was coughing up water.
"Oh my god! Syrus! Are you okay?" Mindy screamed in panic. He nodded while coughing up water. Zane picked him up and carried him to some tanning chairs near the entrance to the boys' locker room. He set him down and Morgan ran over to us with a towel. She handed the towel to Zane and he wrapped it around Syrus. He was sitting on the edge of the chair next to his brother, his arms chaffing up and down his arms with the towel. Mark walked over to them, a towel slung around his neck.
"You alright?" Mark asked. Syrus nodded weakly.
"Thanks, Mark." He shook his head.
"No thanks needed. It's my job." Danny walked over to us, still smiling.
"I'm so sorry squirt! I didn't mean to. I didn't see you," he said with fake concern in his voice. Morgan didn't buy it.
"This is the last straw, Daniel Mickanky! You're out of here!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. He looked at her, fury in his dark blue eyes.
"What did you call me?" he asked slowly and angrily. She glared at him.
"You heard me." Zane stood up and walked over to stand next to her. Danny started walking towards her.
"Back off, Danny," he said in his usual expressionless tone but inside he was furious at him. Danny glared at him.
"Stay out of this, tourist boy!" he demanded. Zane narrowed his eyes at him.
"No thanks." His eyes were filled with rage for one split second. In that second, he bawled his right hand into a fist, and punched Zane straight up his jaw. He stumbled back. Atticus caught him before he fell completely on the ground.
"Zane, are you alright?" he asked. Zane gripped my jaw tightly and nodded.
"Fine," he mumbled. His jaw hurt too much to talk. Danny glared at him.
"That will teach ya to stay out of things that don't include you!" Morgan stepped in his gaze.
"Out, Mickanky! NOW!" she ordered. He became extremely angry.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT!" He brought his already bawled fist back, ready to punch her right in the gut, when he was suddenly knocked into the pool with a splash. Everyone in the pool scurried out of it quickly. Zane was the only one who saw who knocked Danny into the pool. He straightened himself up and moved away from Atticus.
"JADEN!" Everyone whipped around and looked at him.
"What?" Alexis shrieked. Everyone looked back at the pool as gasps were heard. Sure enough, Danny was in the pool, looking around for the person who knocked him in. Jaden was towards our end of the pool. He didn't look happy.

Jaden's POV
Danny went too far this time. He looked around the pool to find who knocked him in. When his gaze fell on me, his eyes were first wide with shock then the shock turned into evil happiness. He smiled evilly at me.
"Well, well, well," he said. I narrowed my eyes at him. "Look whose back in town."
"Back in town?" Aster said from behind me. I didn't look back. My gaze was fixed on Danny. He was smiling evilly at me.
"So, playing hero are we?" he cooed. I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Ready for a real challenge, Danny?" I asked in an acidly tone. He smiled showing all of his teeth.
"Always ready, Yuki!" With that, he charged at me in the water.
"Jaden!" Blair yelled. I took a quick breath and dove into the water, dodging him barely. But he was going too fast to stop, so he ran straight into the wall with a painful thwat! I broke surface and looked over at him. He cringed and kicked off the wall. He looked at me and not too happily I might add. I just smirked. He kicked off the wall with all his might towards me, I dodged again. This time, he didn't crash into the wall. He turned and saw me break surface.
"Quit running away you bloody coward!"
"Ha! You're one to talk!" I said. He didn't like that. He dove at me. I pushed away from him and he landed in empty water. He kept coming at me but I was faster than him.

Narrative POV
"What the hell is Jaden doing in town!?" Mark yelled, looking in the water. Morgan shook her head.
"I have no idea." Brook walked over and stood a few feet away from her.
"Jaden…," she said in a seducing tone. Morgan glared at her.
"Don't even try it sluty mik slut slut." Brook glared at her but said nothing. Alexis looked at Zane.
"I thought you said he wasn't feeling good?" she demanded. Morgan and Mark looked at him.
"Jaden's the one that you guys were talking about?" Mark asked in shock. Syrus nodded.
"Yeah, how do you know Jay?" Mark opened his mouth to say something but Morgan slapped her hand over his mouth.
"You'll have to ask Jaden that." Crowler walked over to them.
"What the hell is Slacker doing!?" he shrieked after seeing Jaden dodging Danny in the pool.
"Running it looks like," Hassleberry said. Morgan shook her head.
"Wearing him down." Everyone looked at Danny. He was getting tired at the unsuccessful jumping at Jaden. He was just too fast for him.
"Morgan…," Mark said. Morgan stuck up her hand.
"Yeah, I know," she said. Then she smiled. "It's just so much fun to watch." Mark chuckled.
"Do it anyway." She sighed and then took a deep breath.
"JADEN TAKATO YUKI! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF THAT POOL NOW!" she yelled, cupping her hands over her mouth. Jaden dove underwater, dodging Danny once again. Then he broke surface near the wall of the pool, where she was standing.
"First off, don't use my middle name. Second, you should be saying thank you for kicking him into the pool instead of letting him knock the wind out of ya," he said. She glared at him. He stuck up his left hand. "Third, in a second." He took a deep breath and pushed himself underwater by using the wall. Danny crashed his right shoulder into the wall. He looked over where Jaden broke water, near the ladder. Danny was about the lunge on him again when he noticed something. He smiled and swam away from the wall, towards the corner opposite the ladder Jaden was climbing. Jaden reached the ladder and started climbing out of the pool. He wasn't looking up as he pulled himself out. Zane looked around to figure out why Danny was trying to yank Jaden off of the ladder when he saw why.
"Jaden! Look out!" he screamed. Jaden looked back at him and then up towards the towering boy standing in front of him. It was the boy that was constantly at Danny's right hand side.
"Shit," he muttered. He didn't have time to do anything. The boy brought his right hand back into a fist and shot it towards Jaden's chest. He landed square in Jaden's chest. There was a cringing snapping sound. All of the air in Jaden's air left through is mouth in a gust. He went flying back and landed on his back in the water.
"Jaden!" everyone shrieked. He broke the surface, trying to fill his lungs with air once again. But Danny wasn't going to have any of that. He came up from behind him and grabbed his arms, bringing them behind his head in a head lock. Then Danny took a deep breath and went underwater, dragging Jaden with him; who only got but a gasp of air.
"Jaden!" Alexis screamed.
"We have to get him out of there!" Morgan yelled. Mark and Zane dove into the pool just as Morgan finished her sentence. They looked at each other, nodded, and dove underneath the water. Jaden was unconscious in Danny's arms. Mark swam down and wrapped his right arm around Danny's neck and pulled back his right wrist. Danny gagged and released Jaden. Zane swam down and grabbed him. He kicked off the ground of the pool and accelerated to the top. He broke water with a gasp, Jaden did nothing.
"Jaden!" Alexis screamed again. She and Morgan were knelling by the edge of the pool. Zane swam over to them. They helped get Jaden out of the pool. Morgan laid him down on his back. Water was dripping down his hair and all over him. Alexis was sitting on her knees on his right side. Zane pulled himself out of the water and slid over to Jaden's left side. He pulled his hair behind his right ear and bent his head down so it was just hovering above Jaden's mouth. Shock grew on his face and he whipped his head up.
"He's not breathing!"
