Chapter 6!! I don't think I've ever come close to writing a story this long before! and it's somewhat interesting and doesn't get too far off track! (So proud!) I won't bore you with this any longer. I'll let you read.

Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts


Week two added a kid to our group. But I was starting to get the hang of the whole counselor thing and, to tell you the truth, it was kinda fun. I mean, the nasty stuff was, well…nasty, but hanging out with the kids and playing the games I hadn't played since I was little, it was a lot of fun.

Kairi didn't seem to care that she had diving well duty all week. Larxene kept her promise and no one knew my secret. And to top it all off, Namine was completely clueless that I was here.

And since it was Friday, I had latrine duty at the pool house in the afternoon, that and swim lessons, and I was kind of excited about it.

So after I finished scrubbing the toilets, I changed and jumped excitedly into the pool.

"Well, isn't someone excited this afternoon?" Larxene asked as she slipped into the pool.

"I just can't wait till I'm at the bottom of the pool." I said letting the sarcasam pour out.

"I bet you'll be there sooner than you think." She smirked, "Now, you remember how to float on your back?"

I nodded. Of course I remembered, it was the only thing I could do.

"Okay, then we're going to learn the backstroke today. You're going to lie on your back." She said demonstrating, "And move your arms like this." And she began swimming across the pool.

It didn't seem too hard, but neither did floating on my back.

I laid back, using my hands to keep me up like she had taught me.

"Good, now move your arms."

Windmill-like, I began to swing my arms. Then slowly I felt my self move across the surface of the water.

"Ha! Ow!" I yelled as I hit my hand on the edge of the pool.

"Wow. That didn't take a long as I thought it would." Larxene said, "Just next time, pull equally with both arms, so you don't curve off to the side."

"Uh-huh?"

"Like this." Larxene said laying back and pulled herself across the water.

"You're doing this." She said slightly curving off of the path she had been previously taking.

"And you need to be doing this." She said pulling into a straight line. Standing she turned to me, "If you pull to hard with one arm, you'll turn that way."

"Yeah, okay."

I spent ten minutes trying to work it out. But I eventually got it down, kinda. And at least I wasn't sinking anymore and I was actually swimming!

"Well, that took less time then I thought it would." Larxene said, slightly surprised. "Let's try treading water."

She pulled herself out of the pool and jumped into the diving well.

"Wait, why are we going over there?"

"The shallow end is only five feet. You'll be able to touch. And we'll want it to be a little deeper for this."

I really didn't want to switch pools. I hadn't been in the diving well since the kid pushed me in and I wasn't to thrill at having to go back in.

"Can't we just stay over here? I mean, five feet not that big of a difference then six feet. It's only sixteen inches."

Larxene gave me a funny look. "Yeah, it's less than you think. Now get in the pool or go home, I don't care."

I crawled across the concrete to the diving well and stuck my hand in.

"But it's cold!" I whined.

With a sigh, Larxene pulled herself up and sat on the edge of the pool. "You'll get use to it."

"I don't do well with extreme cold, though." I said sitting up next to her, curling my legs to my chest.

"Oh, really?" she asked.

And that's when I knew something bad was going to happen. Larxene was acting interested.

But by the time I realized it, it was too late.

She pushed me into the water. In a desperate attempt to gain my balance, I grabbed Larxene's arm and we both fell in.

I felt my self sinking for awhile. I clamped my mouth shut in hopes to hold what little air I had left in my lungs in. Then my legs kicked in and felt myself move slowly up. I broke through the surface gasping for air. I clawed at the edge of the pool, spitting out water till I was sitting on the ledge again.

Larxene was already sitting, brushing her bangs out of her eyes.

"You-" I growled letting off a stream of curses. "What were you thinking? You could have killed me!"

Slowly, Larxene turned to look at me. I braced myself for a fight. Instead, she laughed. Not the Evil Laugh, a genially happy laugh. I tried to scowl, upset that I could have just drowned. But her laugh was contagious, and soon I was laughing too.

"Stop it!" I laughed, trying to be serious, "I could have died! Don't laugh."

We both started laughing harder. So hard, that as Larxene leaned forward, she fell into the pool. I had to help pull her out of the water, she was laughing so hard. Once she was sitting down again, she hiccupped, which caused her to laugh even hard, falling into my shoulder where she started to cry from laughing so hard.

"Are you okay?" I finally managed to choke out between laughs.

"I think so." She answered proceeding to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Oh, my God. I don't remember the last time I've laughed this hard! I'll have to try and kill you more often."

She sat up, brushing her bangs from her face. "I really gotta get home now. I'll see you next week."

She smiled and stood, wringing the water from her hair.

"Bye." I said, watching her leave.

She was really cute when she smiled.
