"Rain"
Sam opened her house's door and sighed when she saw one of the two friends she was angry with.
"Sam, we're really sorry about today. Really, it won't happen again." Danny pleaded, dripping wet on her doorsteps as rain poured down on him, making him look like the world's most kicked puppy.
(They were clever; Tucker's charming smile was to convince adults to let them do something they shouldn't, Danny's puppy eyes were to get out of trouble when the consequences of their actions inevitably came after them, and Sam's money was for any reparations needed.)
"Is that all you came to say?" She crossed her arms at him, putting on a bored face.
"Seriously, we are sorry. We should have told you that sandwich had real meat and not a tofu substitute, but it was the only one left and we couldn't do anything about it. It was just this one time, we won't do it again!"
"You keep saying 'we', but I only see one of you here." Sam remarked with a lifted eyebrow.
"He's actually a crucial part of this apology."
"Over here!" Tucker called from above. Before she could poke her head out and spot him, Tucker gave a high-pitched yell of "Shit!" and came tumbling down, falling from the short ladder he had been standing on and over Danny, taking the water hose and the rain down with them.
"Oh fuck!"
"Man, that hurts!"
"Ggh, that'll bruise for sure."
Both teens stopped their bemoaning when they heard Sam laughing Turning towards her, they found the goth hiding her mouth behind her hand even as her eyes creased with concern. Once she saw them get up, holding onto each other for support, she finally gave in and began cackling.
"Is that an 'I forgive you' laughter? 'Cause it didn't sound enough like an evil laughter to me." Tucker asked once she calmed down and recovered her breath.
"I am still angry with you two!" Sam snapped and the boys flinched. "But I can put it on hold until you two get checked over."
She waved them in, bending down to pick the hose and turn it off, and then proceeded to take her dorks with her grandmother's nurse, drupping water on her parents' dumb carpet as they walked.
