Hm, I think you guys are going to like this chapter, it's full of all types of silliness and fun.^^ Seeing as it'd getting colder where I live, and I went to Australia,(where it was winter during our summer lolz) this helps me think of warmer days. And for all those who are in the cold states (XD) this is to cheer ya up^^
Anyway enjoy the story, and don't forget to review. The story depends on the impact it has on my readers.
Also…WARNING: this may or may not be a long chapter XP
Tanya dramatically pointed to the first activity, "onward troops, to the water balloon competition!"
The other three saluted her, "YES MA'AM!"
Tanya laughed evilly as the group approached the booth. The man standing at the booth blinked and backed up when he saw that all of them were armed to the teeth in water ammo.
"Geez guys, this is a festival, not a war!"
Tanya pointed a small water pistol at the man, "Oh, you must not take this seriously."
The man laughed nervously and put his hands in the air.
"Hey, hey…there's no need to get violent. Go ahead, have fun…no charge."
Tanya and Shizuma high-fived each other as they walked past the booth. The group entered a sectioned off part of the beach that was set up for water balloon mayhem. Everyone who populated the area was divided into groups of four, which was the perfect number for Tanya.
The brunette seemed to have had everything all planned out, but it seemed that her plans were unknown to the others.
Nagisa lifted an eyebrow, "what is she doing, talking to herself?"
Shizuma and Amber laughed.
"She's plotting," Amber said winking. "Maybe she's thinking of a way to win the competition."
Shizuma shrugged, "I guess so."
Suddenly Tanya turned around with a devious smile on her face. "I've got the perfect plan, c'mon hurry up before the game starts."
Nagisa, Shizuma and Amber walked up to Tanya and she began to whisper.
A man wearing a beater and swimming trunks stepped in the center of the arena. He lifted up a large blue flag that was in his right hand and blew the whistle he had in his other hand.
"Okay teams, Take your places!"
Shizuma surveyed the other teams and noticed that as a total there were four for each, those were the best circumstances. The silver-haired woman glanced over to Tanya and noticed that she had discovered that fact too. The two of them looked at each other, evil grins spreading across their faces.
"Ready your ammo!"
Nagisa and Amber grabbed their sacks of water balloons and passed the others to Shizuma and Tanya. Tanya looked back at them and gave them a thumbs up.
"Just remember the plan!"
The man in the center dropped his flag and ran out of the way, "GO!"
"Put on your flags," Shizuma said as she tied hers around her arm.
Tanya tied hers around her head as Amber tied her around her neck like a scarf. Nagisa shrugged and tied her flag around her thigh.
"LET'S DO THIS," Tanya yelled as she nailed two people from an opposing team.
She smiled as she watched the other teams flags turn white.
Nagisa blinked, ["So that's how they know you're out."]
["Watch out Nagisa-chan!"]
Nagisa turned around to see a large water balloon heading for her face. The red head closed her eyes and put her hands over her face as she braced herself for the impact. Shizuma reached into her bag and threw the first water balloon she got her hands on. She put o much force behind her throw that her balloon collided with the one headed towards her girlfriend, bursting before it reached her.
Nagisa opened her eyes to see Shizuma smiling triumphantly.
"Oh yeah!"
Tanya slapped hands with Shizuma and pumped her fist in the air, "HELL YEAH!"
Nagisa blinked and Shizuma turned to her. "Come on Nagisa, we need you to help us win."
"ACK!"
Amber fell back as two water balloons hit her face. Tanya ran over to her, elimination the last member of the orange team they were up against. The brunette kneeled down next to her with an overdramatic facial expression, watching as the red flag turned white.
"Oh sweetie…"
Amber coughed and took Tanya's hand, "I'm so sorry."
The blonde closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side. Tanya cried anime tears as she looked up to the heavens and screamed. In the background, Nagisa sweat dropped while Shizuma was busy finishing off the members of the green team.
Tanya stood up, her bangs casting a shadow over her face, Nagisa and Shizuma could have sworn that they saw a back energy emitting from her body.
Without looking up at her teammates she stared to launch water balloons at the last team, the blue one. The poor group of high school students didn't know what had hit them. By the time Tanya had emptied her sack, the whole blue team was soaked and knocked on their backs, their eyes replaced with swirls. Acknowledging this, Tanya's face returned back to normal and she smiled as she scratched the back of her head.
The man from before walked up to Tanya and the others, "You are the winners, and surprisingly you only had one casualty!"
Amber sprang up with a large grin, "Yeah I shouldn't have tried to take on two teams at once."
Tanya laughed, "Yeah I guess you were going water crazy!"
The man laughed along with Tanya and motioned for two other guys to walk towards them, holding a large silver trophy that had a crashing wave on it.
"Well as the champions of this year's Aqua Mayhem, I would like to present your team with the 1st place trophy and a picture!"
Everyone crowded around the trophy, Tanya in front. Nagisa passed around her remaining water balloons, so that each one of them had one. She felt that it would be a nice touch to the picture. Shizuma put her arm around Nagisa and smiled.
The man put the camera to his face, ready to take the picture.
"Okay everyone, say soaked!"
"SOAKED!"
The man snapped the picture and suddenly one of the other guys behind him sprayed the girls with a hose and the man snapped another picture. Shizuma couldn't help but laugh at the crazy turn of events. Nagisa smiled after shaking her head and spraying everyone with water again.
After spending most of the day at the water festival it was time to go. The sun was low in the sky the group stepped into the parking lot. Shizuma and Nagisa were wearing towels around their necks as the giggled as mentioned some of the other events they participated in that day. Nagisa was holding the trophy, her facial expression happy and cheerful. Next to her Shizuma was sporting a cheerful look too, as she munched on some cotton candy.
Behind them were Tanya and Amber, who were speaking to each other in hushed voices. Earlier that day they had separated from Nagisa and Shizuma, since then, Tanya has had a sad facial expression on her face. Amber on the other hand had a blank, unreadable look that had a cold edge.
Even though Shizuma was having a good time, every time she would glance back at the two she would get a bad feeling.
What happened to them?
She looked at Tanya and their eyes met, Shizuma gasped as she noticed what was happening to Tanya. Tears rolled down the brunette's cheeks, her eyes appearing as a dark empty void. Shizuma bit her lip as she glanced over at Amber who tried to take Tanya's hand. Tanya slapped it away and walked to her car.
Nagisa looked back and almost said something but she felt Shizuma's hand rest on her shoulder, halting her. Nagisa looked up at Shizuma noticing that she was shaking her head.
"No Nagisa, this is none of our business."
Nagisa looked down with a frown; she took one look back at Tanya and Amber before getting in the car. Shizuma got into the car quietly and started it. Nagisa felt waves of negative energy coming from her girlfriend and it alarmed her a bit.
The silver-haired woman glanced over to Nagisa and a false smiled spread across her lips.
"We're finally heading to our last stop."
And with that, Shizuma pulled off and they started their long drive to San Diego.
