Water War
Tucker tied the white string on his swim trunks and cautiously looked around. Danny's backyard was strangely quiet and his two best friends were nowhere to be found. He tightened his grip on the plastic bucket he held and moved carefully. The green and red water balloons inside jiggled and the water made a sloshing noise.
"Attack!"
The techgeek dove to the ground and avoided the water balloon as it sailed over his head and splattered onto the side of the house. Tucker scooped up two of his water balloons and whipped them at his attacker. Danny took a quick glance behind his shoulder before going intangible. The water balloons went right through him and bounced on the grass.
Tucker scowled. "That is so not fair!"
Danny smirked. "We didn't say I couldn't use my ghost powers."
"You can't use your ghost powers," Tucker quickly said.
"Too late! The war has already started." Danny pulled another balloon from his bucket and threw it at Tucker. He quickly rolled to dodge it and grabbed his bucket. He jumped to his feet and started running, occasional whipping a balloon over his shoulder.
Danny coughed as one struck him in the face. He flipped his wet hair back and glared around the empty yard. Tucker had disappeared. "Okay Tuck, I know you're here somewhere."
He moved around and juggled a water balloon between both hands, blue eyes alert and cautious. The wet grass squished under his bare feet. He pressed up against the tree that rested in the back of the yard and frowned.
"Look out below!"
Danny yelped as he was bombarded by many water balloons. Some exploded at his feet and others nailed him right on the head. His bucket lay discarded by his side as he tried to defend himself. "Not cool!"
Tucker grinned from his place on the tree branch. He tossed his empty bucket to the ground and jumped after it. "I think I win."
"Wrong."
Both boys turned to stare at a smirking Sam. She dangled a hose in one and hand as the other hovered over the nozzle. "Forget about me?"
Tucker and Danny started to back away. "Of course not!"
Sam grinned. "Uh-huh. Sure."
She twisted the nozzle and a cold jet of water shot out of the hose. She quickly tackled Tucker to the ground and drenched him soundly, his muffled cries and her laughter echoing around the empty yard. When Tucker was soaked to the bone she let him up and peered around the yard. "Invisible huh? That's pretty cheap Danny."
"Not as cheap as using the hose!" Sam whirled around to face the seemingly empty spot by the sliding glass door that led to the Fenton's dining room. "Oh crap..."
Danny went visible again and was hit by the water spray. He pressed against the glass and fumbled to open the door and groaned when it was locked. After a minute Sam lowered the hose and grinned in satisfaction. Danny coughed and Tucker wrung out his beret. "I think I win this one boys."
Danny and Tucker sighed. They had forgotten the most important rule when having a water fight:
Never lose track of Sam.
