Chapter Five: Water World

Business went back to normal after about fifteen minutes. Edge's bad mood turned to worse when he called for a tow truck and was informed it would be almost two hours before one would arrive. He plopped down in one of the chairs by the cash table, his dark mood daring anyone to speak to him.

Of course, DX decided it was a perfect time to cause even more mischief. Shawn went over to his rental car, pulled out a plastic bag, and the two of them - along with Coco - went over to the water hoses. They spent the next ten minutes filling up water balloons until they had nearly twenty-five of them. Then they pulled out a water balloon launcher and Triple H loaded it. He peered out from behind the building, took aim at Shad, and fired.

The water balloon scored a direct hit, and Shad jumped a mile, simultaneously yelling "What the fuck?". He glanced around and saw Michelle nearby spraying down a car. He'd been checking out the blonde all day, and she was by far - in his opinion, anyway - the hottest Diva there, dressed in her black thong bikini. He turned to his JTG, who'd been distracted most of the day by Kelly Kelly in her red bikini.

"Yo, man...Michelle just nailed me with that hose she's got."

JTG grinned at him.

"Get her back, fool!" Shad grinned in return and nodded before turning to his 'opponent'.

The only inclination Michelle had of Shad's attack was she heard him say, "So that's how it's gon' be? Aight, cool." before she was nailed in the rear end with a stream of cold water. She screamed and whirled on him.

Shad had grinned when he heard her scream, but his grin vanished when he found himself face-to-face with a very-pissed-off Diva.

"What the hell did you do that for?!" Michelle screamed at him.

"Yo, girl, he's just repaying the favor...you got him first!" JTG replied. Michelle looked at him like he was nuts.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Shad grinned.

"All I'm sayin', girl, is that you didn't have to soak me...I know more fun ways to get you wet."

Michelle gave Shad a mischievous grin and kinked the hose behind her back. She strode toward him and brushed against him. Shad grinned like he'd just won the lottery. The gorgeous Diva leaned in and whispered seductively in his ear.

"I know a fun way too..." she trailed off, and Shad's grin got even wider. He didn't even notice Michelle snaking the hose under his shirt.

"Aw, hell yeah, girl...tell me about it."

Michelle gave Shad a seductive little giggle.

"Well, all you have to do is this:"

She unkinked the hose and soaked Shad good. He shouted in surprise, and she laughed and took off running. Shad yanked the hose out of his shirt, threw it on the ground, and ran after her, leaving JTG laughing so hard he was bent double.

Behind the building, DX watched the scene unfold with glee.

"Nice one, Hunter," Shawn said approvingly.

Hunter nodded. "Your turn, buddy," he said, handing the launcher to Shawn and taking Coco's hand in return. Shawn loaded the launcher and peered out from behind the building. He saw Carlito busy washing the rims on a Buick Ranier, took aim, and fired.

The results were better than he could've hoped for. The water balloon caught Carlito on the back of the head, drenching his hair and causing him to let out a spiel of angry Spanish.

Shawn snorted with laughter and ducked back behind the building. Triple H grabbed the launcher, loaded, and fired at a much-wider target that was standing near Carlito: Mark Henry. The balloon hit the World's Strongest Man in between the shoulder blades, and he stiffened and turned to see Carlito using a hose to create more soap in the bucket he was using. Carlito, sensing someone watching him, looked up and smiled at nodded at Mark Henry. The Silsbee, Texas native saw red.

"Let's go, Afro Man!" he yelled, and started toward Carlito, whose eyes widened, and he started stammering frantically in Spanish to ward off his massive adversary.

DX, sensing that they'd better switch positions before they were discovered, grabbed as many water balloons as they could carry, along with the launcher and Coco, and ran to another position, leaving about eight water balloons behind.

Mickie was on her way back from the bathroom when she noticed Triple H and Shawn running across the lot and giggling like little kids. She headed over to the spot they'd just vacated and found the remaining water balloons. Getting an idea, she grabbed two of them and headed over to Maria, tapping the bubbly Diva on the shoulder and when Maria turned to face her, she handed her the water balloon.

"Have some fun with John...Luke's got the same thing coming to him."

Maria giggled and nodded. Once Mickie had left her, she turned to where her boyfriend was standing, wiping Armor-All into the tires of a Mustang. She cocked her arm back and threw, catching the WWE Champion in the center of the back.

John started and whirled around when he felt the gush of cold water hit his back. He glanced around to see where it had come from, and when he saw his girlfriend, she smiled innocently and waved at him. He grinned back at her, knowing she was the culprit.

"'Ria, baby..." he called over to her.

"Yeah, John?" she responded, and he could tell she was barely holding in her laughter.

"Run." The Champ responded, and with that, got up and started toward her. Maria squealed and took off, Cena in hot pursuit.

Mickie approached her boyfriend from behind, grinning. She took aim and threw. Armistead never saw it coming. The water balloon caught him right on the back of the neck, and he gave a shout of surprise when it hit him. He whirled to find Mickie doubled over with laughter behind him, but his gorgeous girlfriend stopped laughing when she saw him staring at her with a face like stone.

"Luke, are you ok?" she asked worriedly.

Armistead calmly mopped off the back of his neck.

"Sweetheart, I care very much for you, so I'm going to be a gentleman and give you this warning. Run. Now."

Mickie giggled and took off behind the abandoned gas station's car wash building. Armistead ran around the building, pursuing her, but stopped when he found her waiting for him.

"Angel, the whole point of me chasing you is for you not to get caught."

The Women's Champ gave him a seductive grin.

"We're alone back here, Luke." She walked over to him and placed his arms around her waist. "And you caught me." She leaned into him and murmured into his ear. "Now what are you going to do with me?"

The kiss Armistead gave her a millisecond later left no doubt as to what he wanted.
