Aqua woke up gradually; luxuriating in the realisation there was no school to get up for, no reason for her to get out of bed…
The cat needs a piss
She supposed she ought to let the cat out for a piss, but she was just too comfy.
Or I could climb into your bed and take care of business
On the other hand, she didn't want it to climb into her bed and do anything. She opened one eye and saw the feline lying on her chest.
Almost looks like she's glaring at me thought Aqua as she shooed the cat off her and dragged herself out of bed. She forced the window open and the cat leapt onto the sill, giving her a disdainful look before jumping down to the ground and strolling into the bushes.
She glanced over to the second bed, where Luna was barely visible beneath the covers before checking her watch. 9-30 am. No one else in the house would be awake yet. Time for her to have a quick shower without having to fight Pietro yet. But first breakfast.
Hurrying downstairs, Aqua contemplated the cereal before remembering the previous days milk and opting for re-heating some ramen and washing it down with a glass of cola before running back upstairs. As she had predicted, no one else seemed to be awake and she had the shower all to herself. She almost changed her mind when she saw the grime around the tub, but a quick blast with the tap allowed her to manipulate the water molecules to remove most of the dirt. She removed her clothes and jumped in, borrowing some shampoo from the windowsill and humming to herself. There was nothing better than being submerged in water.
She killed the spray and stood at a loss for a moment, suddenly remembering she'd forgotten a towel. Still, no problem with her powers. She concentrated on the water droplets on her skin and in her hair, making them run down in to the tub. When she was dry, she went to pull back the shower curtain – and stopped suddenly. Some one had entered the bathroom, the lock having never been repaired from an explosion the cause of which she had yet to discover. She ducked back into the shower and crouched in the bath, hoping it was Luna or Wanda and they wouldn't mind finding her in the bath.
Instead she heard a masculine voice begin singing and she peeked out from behind the curtain, cursing as she realised it was Pietro. He had no idea she was there; instead he was looking in the mirror and shaving, wearing only a pair of boxers.
Nice body she though admiringly, before catching herself. She hated this boy, no matter how nice his ass was.
The real question was how she was going to get out of the bathroom without Pietro seeing her, especially when she had no towel to cover herself with and her nightclothes were in a heap under the sink. If she could just snag her clothes, she could at least make a run for the door, but there was no way she was attempting it without something to cover her ass. She'd never live it down.
Grinning at himself in the mirror, Pietro wiped the last of the shaving foam from his face with the back of his hand and zipped out of the room. Aqua grabbed her pyjamas and began to struggle into the top, not getting out of the tub. A second later, she was relieved that she hadn't left the privacy given by the shower curtain as Pietro zipped back in, shampoo bottle in hand.
Shit!
She ducked down again, fighting to work the flimsy material up her legs without attracting attention to herself. Fortunately Pietro was otherwise occupied, combing his hair into different styles and trying them out in the mirror, a cheesy grin plastered across his face.
Just how much does he love himself?
Aqua kept stealing glances from behind the shower curtain, trying to will Pietro out of the room. Instead, he began to sing to himself.
"You are the last contender, you are the latest to remember, you are the villain who sends a line of dark fantastic passion…"
He walked over to the door and closed it, glancing ruefully at the hole where the lock should have been, inexpertly disguised by Wanda stuffing toilet paper in it. Still singing quietly, he shrugged off his boxers. Aqua glanced out from behind the curtain and pulled her head back quickly, feeling like the worst kind of pervert.
Don't let him want a shower, PLEASE don't let him want a shower…
"I know that you will surrender and I want this fantastic passion…"
Pietro pulled back the shower curtain.
For a second, the pair just stared at each other. Then they both screamed. Pietro zipped out of the bathroom and Aqua jumped out of the bath, tripped over the discarded boxers and landed in an ungainly heap on the floor.
The noise roused the other occupants of the house. Lance hurried into the bathroom and paused as he saw Aqua trying to get to her feet. "What the…"
Aqua looked up at him and Lance took in the boxers tangled around her feet. A leer spread across his face. "Never mind, carry on!"
"Oh no, it's not what you think!"
Luna put her head around the floor and took in the scene. "Oh yeah, you claimed to hate him yesterday and today you're tangled in his underwear on the bathroom floor? By the way, you're top's on inside-out."
"It's not like that!"
Pietro burst out of his bedroom, having dressed hurriedly. "She's a pervert! A peeping tom! She was spying on me!"
"I was not!" Aqua finally managed to get the boxers from around her ankle. "He burst in on me in the shower!"
"She was hiding in the bath! Just waiting for me to take my clothes off so she could lust after my body!"
"That's a lie!"
"OK, let's all just calm down." A giggling Luna grabbed Aqua's arm and pulled her into their bedroom, slamming the door behind them and leaving the boys to sort out Pietro.
"I was SO not spying on him," said Aqua.
"I didn't say a word." Luna sat on her bed and gave the other girl a knowing stare.
"I was just having a shower!" Aqua began pacing the room. "I turned it off and he walked in – I was just waiting for him to leave!"
"I'm sure you were." Luna smirked.
"I didn't know he was going to try to get in."
"Wait." Luna's smirk grew wider. "You mean, you stayed in the shower while he took off his clothes and tried to get into the shower, where you were waiting?"
"Yes. No! I mean…"
"So, what's his body like under the clothes?"
"Luna!"
"Well, he's so arrogant about his perfect good looks, I need to know if there's a flaw. Spots on his ass perhaps?"
"No. None."
"I knew it! You checked him out!"
"I just wanted to see if he'd gone! I couldn't help it!"
"I'm sure you couldn't. Anyway, how big was his…"
"LUNA!"
Aqua lunged across the room and tried to get her hands around the other girl's neck. Luna ran, laughing. Thwarted from throttling her, Aqua threw a pillow at her instead. Luna caught it and threw it back, hitting Aqua in the face.
"You're going down for that!" Aqua was laughing as she advanced on her sister. Only a knock on the door saved Luna from a serious pillow-pummelling.
"Who is it?" Luna called out while trying to dodge an attack.
"It's me," shouted Wanda. "Can I come in?"
"Only if you can deal with a homicidal Aqua!"
Wanda opened the door just in time to get hit by a flying pillow. As the offending object hit the floor, the Scarlet Witch hexed it into oblivion. Aqua and Luna stopped their fight, eyes wide.
"Now I have your attention," said Wanda. "I thought we could have a house-party tonight. Just the Brotherhood. That would include you two. Up for it?"
"Oh yeah!" Luna did a little dance in the middle of the floor.
"The thing is," began Aqua hesitantly. "Me and Pietro had a bit of a row this morning…"
"I know," said Wanda with an evil grin. "That's why I thought it was the best time."
"We're up for it," replied Luna.
"But…" Aqua tried to articulate the many reasons why it was bad for them to throw a party.
"C'mon girl," said Luna. "I've never known you miss a party just because of some guy."
"I'd like to party with the rest of you but…"
"It's settled then." Luna and Wanda exchanged smirks and Aqua had the sudden horrible feeling she was being set up.
