The Forbidden Pool
Ok, the walkie-talkie thing is from Thumb Wars, which I recommend you all go watch.
It was hot, unbearably hot. It was the kind of hot that made even your sweat have sweat! But someone had found a solution. Buried deep in a shed somewhere, Faust had found a deflated kiddy pool. He quickly found and patched the hole in its side, and ran out to fill it with wonderfully cold water. It didn't take long for the others to realize there was relief outside, and they all ran out to get a turn. Now it, being a kiddy pool, was rather small, and only one person could fit in it. And it seemed Faust was determined to keep it for himself.
"What? Faust, you can't be serious!"
"I am. I found it so… nyah!"
"But… but it's so hot!"
"Finders keepers." Faust stated with a blank expression. It seemed not even Manta could persuade him to share. Now of course, Faust looked comical in that small of a pool, but no one used it against him… they were too attached to their various body parts.
The others trudged back inside in defeat, but once they were out of earshot, Horohoro spoke up.
"I… have a plan." Strangely it seemed to echo, though that may have been because he repeated it for a while. Er… seventeen times.
Ren facepalmed. Tamao blinked in curiosity. Manta twitched.
They huddled up to whisper about this 'plan', and only the occasional conspiratorial giggle or other such noise was heard.
Faust sat in the kiddy pool, none the wiser, using a black parasol to keep the sun off him and humming nonsensical tunes.
Little did he know, all hell was about to break loose.
They hid in their assigned places, waiting for the time to strike. They each had a walkie-talkie, and soon the signal came. A flashlight Morse code message. Of course, the only thing Horohoro knew in Morse code was 'SOS'… but whatever.
"Kshh…Ryu you go in from the left! …Kssh." The walkie-talkie was actually mostly static-free, but hey, it was really fun to add in those sound effects.
"Copy, Stray Dog!" was Ryu's reply.
"Kshh…I don't think I'm Stray Dog…Kssh."
"Copy that Red Rooster!"
"Kshh…I don't think I'm Red Rooster…Kssh."
"No problem, Nasty Butler!" And man, was Ryu having just a little bit too much fun with this codename thing…
"Kshh…Just go in from the left dang it!…Kssh."
So Ryu leapt from his place a few feet away from the now annoyed Hororhoro, shouting at the top of his lungs as the others shook their heads.
"LEEROY JENKINS!"
Faust was startled, but managed to place his parasol between the stream of water from Ryu's water-gun and his face just in time. He cringed for a minute, still hiding, and then realized that nothing was going to happen. He came out from behind his now thoroughly soaked parasol and said, "Hah!" triumphantly. Unfortunately for him, everyone else chose that moment to shoot their water-guns at him.
"Nooooooo!" he shouted. He blinked for a minute. "Oh hey, that feels nice!"
Ren facepalmed again.
"I told you we shouldn't have used cold water!"
Humming the Mission Impossible theme, and skulking around like a spy, Horohoro organized another attack. This time, their (pink) water-guns were loaded with hot water, as per Anna's and Ren's suggestion. They charged outside again, only to suddenly be in the shade.
"Odd, I don't remember-" Yoh started, but before he could finish his sentence, he was hit with a grenade-patterned water balloon. Naturally, as water balloons almost always do, it didn't pop on impact with Yoh's body, rather it popped on the ground all over his sandaled feet. He fell down, his arms spinning to try and keep himself upright, but it was to no avail.
"Man down! AHHH!" The screaming started as they scrambled to get out of the way of the hot water filled balloons that began to fall in earnest. Faust laughed in that maniacal way of his, and the others wondered only one thing:
'Where the heck did he get so any water balloons in such a short time?'
It looked hopeless without a new strategy, so Horohoro called out the retreat.
"Run away!!!" And they did. Watching this, Faust shined his nails on his coat smugly, though why he was still wearing it in the pool, no one even bothered to fathom.
It was late in the afternoon, and the temperature was at its peak. They decided to make one last run of it, and got into their positions for the last time.
"CHARGE!!!"
Faust couldn't get his water balloons thrown fast enough, they just kept coming relentlessly. Faust pulled his parasol over himself as they all fired collectively, but still had to yelp at the sudden shock.
"Oh my gawd! I give, I give!" Faust put his hands in the air, stood up and started to step out of the pool. The others cheered at last, excited to be able to use the kiddy pool. But Faust smirked, tripping on purpose in order to tear a new, larger hole in the pool's side. The others looked on with mouths agape.
"How… How could you?!?"
"Very easily. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go get dried off." And with that he walked away.
Wind blew in the background but no one moved a muscle.
"This is all your fault, Horohoro! If you hadn't had these stupid plans, we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place!"
"Oh yeah? Bring it on, pansy!"
They both went to the remnants of the pool to fill their water-guns, and an all out war broke out. Ryu attempted to make peace.
"Hey, it's not either of your faults that Faust did that! Hey, stop already-" He was shot in the face with two streams of cold water simultaneously. "Okay, that's it!"
Soon everybody was involved.
By the time it was evening, everyone was totally soaked and shivering. Faust came out of his room to smirk at them.
"Now, if you had just thought of that before, you wouldn't have been so hot all day!" he said cheerfully.
Everyone shared a glance.
"Let's get him!"
