Sorry it's short ya'll. it's 5 am, and I haven't slept lol The next chapter will be out soon, and it will be much longer. I promise. Until then, enjoy.

The characters Teddy, Vern, Chris and Gordie all belong to Mr Stephen King, The Body and Stand By Me. Any other characters are purely sprung from my mind and you can't steal them. If you do, lucky me, I get your money!


She looked around at all of us, her gaze landing on each of us for a moment before turning to the next. I could feel my face heat up and I just knew I was blushing. Chris cleared his throat and made a motion with his hands as if he were going to speak but stopped himself and looked down. Teddy just stood in the water, looking at all of us, probably wondering what the hold up was and when we were going to join him. Vern stood to the right of me, and I could see him out of the corner of my eye, avoiding any eye contact with Alexia.

She smirked slightly at all of us, and placed her hands upon her hips.

"Ok, maybe this was a bad idea. I didn't think you guys would have a fit over it." She laughed softly and began to pick up and fold her clothes. "Maybe we should just keep out underwear on. It's probably safer anyway." She placed her clothes next to a tree and grabbed a stick. We all watched her as she walked over to Teddy's scattered clothes and picked up his underwear from the ground. She held the stick a full arms length away from her and began to walk to the shore of the creek.

"Teddy, here." She said, and tossed the underwear off the stick and into the water. They floated there for a moment, and Teddy made a scramble to reach them before they sank into the dark water. He stantched them up and slipped them on underwater.

"Thanks Alexia, you couldn't walk out here and hand them to me like a normal good friend would?" He wiped the water off his face and stared at her.

She laughed and let her feet slip into the cool water "I don't know where those things have been, or how long you've been wearing them. You're lucky I did that for you at all." She kicked her foot, sending sprinkles of water all over Teddy's head and face. We all laughed as we watched Teddy's face turn from anger to humor, and storm up to the shore. Alexia squeeked as she realized her fate, and started to run down the shore but was too slow. Teddy grabbed her around the waist, and we all cheered him on as he dragged her out into the water and threw her in.

We all laughed and cheered as she struggled to pull her body out of the water and stand up. She shoved her heavy, wet hair off her face and glared at us all playfully. She ran her palms over the top over the water and grinned at me.

"Ya'll coming or you just gonna watch Teddy and me have fun?" She winked and raised her fingers to her nose, plugging it before doing a back flip into the water. The remaining three of us all grinned at each other and began running towards the water, splashing and tripping.

We must have spent at least 30 minutes in the water, before we all noticed something. Lights.
