Phase 1
It was a hot day and it had NOT be her idea to do this, but here they were, at least all together, at the swimming pool. Surprisingly Murdoc had thought of it, probably because all of the girls sun bathing in their bikinis. He himself was wearing a black speedo that frightened people more than it aroused them. 2D was wearing blue shorts that matched his hair and no shirt, showing off the few scars that Murdoc had left him. Russel was under an umbrella setting up their station on the grass in summer clothing. Noodle had on a yellow one piece with short frills going around it, 2D's mum picked it out for her.
Currently Murdoc was stuffing 2D under the water and Noodle was running around screaming/laughing on the grass. Russel took off the tropical shirt he was wearing to rescue 2D, which meant doing a cannonball and putting Murdoc under the water too. Noodle stopped running and glanced to them with a giant smile on her face. She went to the shallow end of the pool but got yelled at for running. She ignored the mean lifeguard and stepped in. Her boys were at the other end where it was deepest so she started making her way there. The water was up to her waist when a few kids came running towards her splashing water everywhere. They pushed passed her making her loose balance and fall into the pool. Noodle panicked underwater and started to flail her arms around, she pushed up from the floor to get her head just above enough to breathe. Noodle coughed from all the water that she had just inhaled and glared at the kids, slowly heading back to waist level water. Then she stood and all but ran to the grass again. She decided then and there that she didn't like what the boys called a 'pool'. They said it was like a giant bath, but that never happened in any of the baths she had taken.
For a few hours Noodle had taken to sitting under their umbrella, wrapped in a towel watching the boy closely. Eventually they got out of the water and walked to her.
"Noodle love, why don't yew go int te wata?" 2D asked while shaking his hair around.
"No like water!" She yelled and glared at the blue pool.
Russel shrugged and Murdoc went to go hit on a curvy woman that had walked past. They ate their pre made lunch and bought ice cream and Noodle was having fun. That is until they wanted to go back into the water. They weren't making Noodle go, but she didn't want them to leave her there for another few hours.
"Come wiff us, love. It'll be fun," 2D smiled at her and she smiled back. But it faded quickly thinking about going underwater again.
"No like water," she said.
"Why not?"
"Scary under, no air." She spoke brokenly.
Russel was nowhere to be found so 2D took it upon himself to comfort the small girl and bent to her height. " yew dun 'ave to go under te wata if yew dun want to. Just swim wiff me," he said then stood to his full towering height.
"Swim?" This was a new word, she never heard it before but it had something to do with the 'pool'.
"Ya! Yew kick your legs and move your arms at te same time in te wata," he said while doing ridiculous actions of swimming while standing. Noodle laughed at him and 2D took this as the sign she wanted to do it. He grabbed her hand and lead her to the edge of the pool wear it wasn't the deepest but it wasn't all that shallow either. The water reached to his belly button but would go over Noodle's head if she ride to reach the bottom.
He decided against jumping or diving and just slid into the water then held his arms out for Noodle. She stared at him while softly sitting down on the ledge with her legs in the water. He smiled at her and moved his hands for her to get fully in the water. She grabbed a hold of his arms and slid in. He made sure with great care that her head didn't bob under. When Noodle realized she wasn't sinking nor was she being splashed she smiled in 2D's arms. He slowly let go of her so that he was only holding onto her arms.
"Now move your legs, little love." He moved his own to show her how to do it and she caught on quickly. He let go of her arms and she screamed but kept kicking which made her stay up in the water, after she noticed that fact her screaming stopped.
"I do it!" She said happily.
2D taught her how to move her arms and she looked sceptical about putting her belly down on the water. But she also trusted 2D and he did just show her how to not sink so she should do the next step. He held onto her arms while she got used to it and then held her waist when she started to move her arms. Once she got the hang of that he let her go all together. Water got in her face but she swam through it. She stopped suddenly from exhaustion and 2D quickly caught her before she could go under. He held her hands at arms length and she kicked her legs and she swam like that for the rest of the day.
All three men had to drag her out of the water and she ran around excitedly in her hooded towel yelling in bad english how much she loved the pool.
So what did you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Review some ideas! I want to hear what is in your heads because unlike 2D you don't have a blank sheet of paper where a brain should be XD
