Im not sure how long we flew for, but eventually we came to a lake and landed. I took of my new shoes and socks, carefully set them down with my new jacket and walked to the edge of the water. I smiled as the cold water ran over me feet; I walked in a little ways, not caring that my jeans were getting wet and looked back at Kevin.

He was glaring at me; I stopped smiling and pulled my wings in all of the way before walking over to where he was standing. "Ok, you ruined my fun; you might as well start yelling now."

I fell down into the sand and made myself comfortable because I had a feeling this was going to take forever!

"Jamie, I can't believe you did that! Do you know how worried we all were?" he sat down next to me and started playing with the sand "If you weren't sick why did you say you were?"

Wait a second, where is the yelling, the red face?

I glanced at Kevin, just in time to see him throw a handful of sand at my wet feet. "Hey, be nice!" I threw a handful back and laughed at the expression on his face as it hit him.

"Ok, now you're seriously in trouble!" I stopped laughing and climbed to my feet as fast as possible before running away. "Jamie get back here!" I glanced over my shoulder and saw him snap out his wings. Shoot now I was really in trouble, he could fly faster than I run, and definitely faster than I fly.

Oh well, I snapped out my wings and smiled as the wind whipped my hair back, away from my face. He caught up to me just as I reached the middle of the lake and tried to grab my wrist; I pulled my wings in and smiled at the look of horror on Kevin's face as I fell towards the lake.

Just before I crashed into the water I saw him dive towards me. Looks like I won!

I swam back to the surface to see Kevin desperately searching for me, he was facing the other way so I swam over, grabbed his leg and laughed as he freaked out, causing him to fall into the water as well.

"Jamie!" I smiled and slipped under water to swim away; he grabbed my arm and pulled me back to the surface. "Cheater!" I splashed him with my free hand and stuck out my tongue.

He let go and we had a splash war. He won, but only because he used an energy ball to distract me, by having it explode right next to me!

"We have to head back, it's almost dinner time" Kevin nodded and pulled me close to him. "Let go of me!" I fought to get free but he didn't let go, instead he swam back to shore, pulling me along.

"So you never told me why you pretended to be sick." I let out my wings and tried to dry then in the sun. "Brook had me try on a white shirt and she saw the tips of my wings." Kevin dropped my jacket back into the sand and turned to face me.

"Don't worry; she still thinks that the shirt was messed up." I tried to hide a yawn as he picked my jacket up. Didn't work, nothing gets past this guy.
