Chapter 8: Sweet Revenge
A week later Ash sat by her partially dug hole, gulping down her water. "God you think I would be used to the heat by now." She mumbled. "You never get used to the heat." Said Magnet jumping out of his hole and spitting in it. "I'll see you all at the rec room." He walked off, done with his hole for the day.
Oddly Zigzag had finished after Magnet, but stayed behind watching over Ash waiting for her to finish. "Why did you stay behind?" she asked as they walked to the rec room. "Dunno, just felt like it."
Once in the rec room everyone relaxed, dirty and tiered from digging, and sick of the heat. "Damn…" squid started, yet paused getting a look from Zigzag for swearing in front of a girl. "Err…I mean darn, I'm really hot. Shower time!" he stood up, walking off to the showers. Ash smirked evilly, "I'll be right back." She walked out after Squid, making a stop at the tent.
Squid shivered the cold water rushing down his body. Ash held something behind her back as she walked up to the wall around the showers. "Hey squid I think you forgot something." She called. Squid looked up, wiping water out of his eyes. "What?" the annoying piece of wood he normal had in his mouth was gone while he showered. But his southern accent still rung strong. Ash pulled a pair of Squids boxers out from behind her back, waving them around. "Aww look, little pink bunnies." She giggled watching his facial expression change from confused to shocked. "Hey give those back!" he tried to snatch them, but she backed away still grasping the boxers in hand. "Hell no." she laughed, watching him struggle to get his boxers. "I'll see you in the rec room, have a nice shower now ya hear?" she walked away slowly laughing like a maniac, his boxers still in hand. The water shut off on squid and he grabbed his towel wrapping it around his waist and running out after her. "Get back here!" he yelled. She only continued walking faster, him chasing after her dripping wet.
She opened the door to the rec room; Squid was a ways away. "Hey everybody look! Squids got little pink bunnies on his boxers!" Squid ran in standing behind her. "Give me my boxers woman!" he snatched them away with both hands, leaving nothing to hold onto the towel around his waist. The towel slipped, falling on the floor with a wet thump. "Squid! Get some clothes on man!" yelled half the group, others laughing like hell. Ash was red faced from laughing so hard. Squid quickly pulled the boxers on, blushing from embarrassment.
