"The water is cold!" Jen yelled while Mason could only chuckle at his daughter.
"Only my daughter could get upset the water is cold considering she and Danny are part Necrofriggian." Mason put in while Gwen kicked off her sandals and sat down on the pool chair. She kicked her feet up.
"Gee, it might be because her father refused to go in for 10 minutes…" Gwen said as a smile pulled at her lips. "Then said father got out complaining about how cold the water is." Gwen added while looking at her children.
Mason sighed and sat down in a chair next to Gwen. In comparison to Gwen's darkish blue 2-piece bathing suit that left her stomach exposed and such? Mason only wore a pair of teal shorts and a white T shirt. It was something that got a snicker from the rest of the family.
"Funny, considering how the cold is the only reason I saved you from Animo when we first met." Mason stated while Gwen rolled her eyes.
"So now your remembering that?" Gwen teased as Mason rolled his eyes in amusement and looked at Gwen with a look that screamed 'seriously'?
"Yeah, considering the water is cold?" Mason questioned before letting out a hum. "The kids are kids; the water is always cold to them… I'm just curious how they feel it being so cold." Mason muttered to himself as Gwen rolled her eyes at her husband.
"Should I point out the fact that the kids are part human from my side of the family? "Gwen questioned her husband with amusement as Mason rolled his eyes and turned to look at the children once more.
"They can turn intangible and breath ice from their mouths, dear." Mason said with amusement and folded his legs under him. Mason hummed and cracked his neck while Gwen rubbed at her feet.
"I told you those sandals sucked." Mason stated as Gwen let out a sigh. "I'll get you new ones when we start heading home." Mason said before Jen splashed Danny.
Gwen hummed and nodded before sighing and walking to the trash can. She tossed out the 3-year-old sandals before walking over.
"You're going to walk back to the car barefoot?" Mason asked while Gwen shrugged.
"Well my option was either walk in them and hurt my feet… Or walk across the pavement and hurt my feet." Gwen pointed out before Mason shook his head.
"Your daughter is trying to cannonball off a diving board…. Why does the community pool have a diving board?" Mason questioned as Jen rushed off the board. She flipped in the air before vanishing under the water. Jen laughed as she surfaced.
This was met by Danny taking a breath and then exhaling. Jen shivered before turning to her brother and glaring.
"DANNY!" Jen yelled at Danny who laughed at the prank he played on his sibling. "DAD, DANNY MADE ME COLD!" Jen screamed while caused Mason to sigh and shake his head back and forth.
"Kids, please behave yourselves or we're going home." Mason stated while he cracked his fingers and rolling his eyes. "Oy, these kids are something else at times." Mason muttered before leaning back in his chair.
"We should head home if they're going to prank each other." Gwen responded while she folded her legs under her. "Plus, I think the mosquitos are coming." Gwen added as Mason sighed and looked at the kids.
"Give them another 10 minutes." Mason responded while Gwen started to put on bug spray. "Besides, they've done worse pranks… Like the time they made Ben think they took his car keys. I'm still wondering how they managed to hide them in the trunk." Mason said before Gwen shook his head.
"Well, considering how me and Ben used to be as kids?" Gwen asked and started to reach towards her bag. "I did mess with Ben a few times. I didn't use the watch to mess with someone like they do… But I did mess with Ben a few times." Gwen stated to Mason who nodded.
"I know." Mason said before letting out a chuckle in amusement. "Ben told me. You both kept picking on each other. It's kind of hard to win at pranks when you have the Omnitrix, though, dear." Mason added and let out a breath. Mason looked around the pool and blinked.
There was nobody around the pool. Mason wondered if it was a slow day or if nobody wanted to be at the pool today. Then again? Gwen knew fans would be all over her if they were around.
Mason laid back down in his chair, hoping the kids didn't get in trouble. Mason leaned his head back to relax.
Gwen looked at Mason and rolled her eyes before sitting back to sleep. She and Mason would try the pool before they left.
Author Notes
Phew. Another chapter done! I want to point out the flashbacks will be saved to the museum trips. Next chapter will be in 2-3 weeks and will show a flash back and show how Mason and Gwen met as kids. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
P.S: I will be doing some modifications to the story. Verdona is delayed a bit to make a longer chapter. And Lucy and Charmcaster will hopefully soon.
