36. Water

Don't you love fall festivals?

Splash.

Natalia grinned, tossing the tennis ball in the air and catching it with one hand. "Do I get a prize? I want a piece of candy or something."

Calleigh snickered and gestured to the woman to give her the ball. Natalia tossed it to her. "You know, running the dunking tank was a really good suggestion for raising money for the lab," the blonde told her friend quietly as she fixed the seat and watched a wet male clamor out of the pool and onto the ladder. "I'm getting too much of a kick out of this."

Stetler snorted and nearly slipped on the steps up, shaking his head in disgust. "Why did I even agree to this?" he asked no one in particular. "There has to be a better way to keep my dignity but stay cool at the same time."

"What dignity did you have to begin with?" the blonde mumbled under her breath, shaking her head and watching the Internal Affairs sergeant clamor onto the seat. He chose this moment to cast her a glare while so saw another customer walking their way. "Step right up! One ticket equals one ball! Get a chance to dunk our favorite Internal Affairs agent!"

"I'll take a chance with it," a woman requested, holding out a ticket to Natalia.

Natalia turned around and saw Yelina standing there, a grin unfurling on her face. "You want to dunk him for issues past?"

The private investigator smirked and took the ball from Calleigh. "I have a bit of an issue with my son right now, and I'm not going to take it out on him. He wants to be with Horatio at the pie-eating booth. Why he wants to do that is beyond me, but I'm not going to complain." She grinned at the brunette in the tank and tossed the ball once in the air. "Are you hot up there, sweetie?"

Stetler's eyes widened. "You can't hit the target! No! Hey, she can't do this!"

Calleigh grinned. "Too late, Rick."

Indeed it was. Yelina threw the ball with all she could muster and landed a bulls-eye on the target. Stetler groaned and dropped into the water below, and the rest of the water in the pool completely went out of the tub. The Columbian giggled slightly and watched the other woman high-five each other. "You looked hot before, Rick."

He smirked. "Do I look hot now?"

She wrinkled her nose. "Far from it."

The man scowled. Calleigh and Natalia just laughed hysterically as Yelina got her prize- and it wasn't a piece of candy.

Where did my dignity go? By the way, Chapters 41-50 is going to be a set of ten drabbles based off my video game love and desire and have quite a lot of nice humor in which our IAB sergeant plays "I Wanna Be The Guy." o.O If you know what that is, you KNOW it means definitive trouble for everyone- especially young Raymond Caine, Jr. If not, look it up now on YouTube and Google. It involves a LOT of frustration and hilarity.
