The team was playing card games on their chairs as they waited for Robin to wake up from his nap. Wally smiled lightly as he set a card down in the middle of the pile.
"One queen." Wally said.
"But dat was a five."
Everyone looked behind Wally to find Robin standing with his towel wrapped around him.
"B.S." The group said in unison while Wally reluctantly grabbed the pile of cards.
"How was your nap Rob?" Artemis asked as she grabbed Robin and pulled him towards her lap.
"Good." Robin replied before getting back out of Artemis' lap and sliding to the ground.
"Are you ready for more fun?" Kaldur asked, receiving an eager nod from the toddler.
The group left their card game on hold as they walked around the park, looking to see what ride they should go on next. Not sure on what ride would be best, they opted to go on the water slides once again and think after they made it into the pool. Artemis and Conner slid down the single body slides while Kaldur and Wally went down the light tube slide. Megan guided the toddler to the light tunnel before Robin stopped in front of the dark tunnel.
"Are you sure you want to go down the dark tunnel?" Megan questioned the toddler. Rob gave her one quick nod, urging her to put the tube in the water. They got situated in the tube and waited for the lifeguard to say they could go. Robin held on to the handlebars with a strong grip. Seeing the tight grip, the young lifeguard bent closer to Robin.
"Don't worry little buddy, this tunnels really a lot of fun." He gave Robin a smile before letting the two go down the slide. Robin screamed and laughed as they splashed down. Robin yelped as the tube dropped off a small, invisible cliff. He laughed as the tunnel soon became engulfed with light and water.
The pair smiled as they floated out of the splashing waters. They turned as they heard the click of a camera to see Artemis holding a small waterproof camera in her hands. She tightened the wrist guard before she was handed a single tube. Megan and Robin were handed single tubes before Wally mentioned the lazy river. The gang entered the mouth of the river to see that no one on the river was actually being lazy.
"I've got an idea." Wally announced. "Let's play river tag. One person swims ahead until they get back around to find us, and then they have to tag someone by splashing them. Then that person swims around and the cycle continues!"
Artemis smiled. "Sounds fun! And I think you should get the honor of being 'it' since you thought of the game." Wally glared jokingly at Artemis before getting ahead of the gang and passed them all. The group scattered, not wanting to be the end of the group, and therefore being the first to get tagged. Kaldur made his way between two groups of people, making it difficult for anyone to tag him.
Artemis and Robin swam farther up towards another group of people when they were doused with water from behind them. They turned to see Wally smiling and then planting his feet on the ground to get further away from the pair. Artemis grabbed one of the handles on Rob's tube and pulled them further through the river. Halfway around, they found Conner relaxing with his legs hanging off the tube and his hands behind his head.
As a wave of water brought Conner out of his trance. The pair yelled 'Tag' before watching Conner swim ahead. After everyone managed to clump back together and was bored of getting tagged, the team exited the river and sat back at their chairs, debating on which ride to do next. As they realized they had already gone on all the rides that were safe for a toddler, Artemis suddenly got an idea and shuffled through her bag until she pulled out a few pairs of goggles.
"I threw these in my bag just in case we could use them." She gave the smallest pair to Robin, and the other pairs to everyone else. They all headed into the biggest pool, which started shallow and ran to almost 5 and a half feet deep. The team ran into the water, diving under the layers of waves rushing towards them. They emerged a foot away before swimming around, going under the water, and attacking each other. Robin took a big breath before slipping under the water and swimming over towards Kaldur. He snuck through the water before grabbing the Atlantean's ankle. Robin looked up to see Kaldur's face changed from shock to joy as Robin smiled up at him. Robin resurfaced just in time to feel someone grab his leg and pull him backwards.
M'gann giggled as she pulled Robin into her arms and then let him go. Robin dove under the water again to find his next prey. He swam down to the bottom of the pool before turning to go back up. However, as he ascended upwards, he felt himself get pulled back ever so slightly. He looked back to find his trunks stuck on a water filter on the floor. He tried to pull his shorts free from the filter, but they had gotten twisted around the top of the filter. Robin started to panic, wondering how long he would be there until someone found him or he lost his breath.
…
Kaldur looked around the pool. He could see Artemis and Wally splashing at each other, M'gann and Conner playing in the other side of the pool, but Robin was no where to be seen. He swam over towards M'gann and Conner.
"Have either of you seen Robin?" He asked. Conner shook hi head but M'gann spoke.
"I grabbed him almost a minute ago, but then he dove under the water." She explained.
"Have you seen him get out of the pool?" Kaldur questioned. With a shake from both teens, Kaldur looked under the water to see if Robin was playing. In a horrorous picture, Kaldur found Robin slowly tugging at his shorts, slowing down from a lack of oxygen.
Kaldur darted over to hi in record time and untwisted his shorts from the filter. As Kaldur brought Robin to the top of the water, the small child sputtered and coughed up small bits of water as he clung to Kaldur. Both couples instantly were at the sides of the Atlantean and the toddler.
"Robin! Are you okay?" M'gann and Artemis were instantly looking Robin over, letting their maternal instincts take over. Robin just nodded without talking to the girls.
"Are you done swimming for today then?" Kaldur asked as they all walked out of the pool. Receiving a small nod from the boy, Conner saw the perfect pick-me-up for the boy.
"Do you want some ice cream?" Conner pointed to the ice cream shop next to the food court. Robin's face instantly brightened as he nodded his head. The group, relieved to see their favorite toddler happy again, stepped over to the ice cream shop. The man running the stand smiled at the group before they all named off what they wanted.
Before making the cones he looked at the group, and picked Wally.
"Do you guys want a show?" He asked. The group nodded before the man made everyone's ice creams but Wally's. The man started using a tongs device to make his cone. He scooped out some ice cream and put it on the cone, handing it to Wally on the tongs. Wally went to grab it, but the man flipped it so Wally was grabbing at the air.
The group snickered off to the side as they watched Wally trying to grab the ice cream. He finally got the cone, but when the man pulled the tongs back, he took the ice cream with them. The group laughing as the man put the ice cream back on the cone, but took the cone back. He put the cone down, giving Wally just the ice cream. Wally looked up at the man with confused eyes as to how Wally was to get the ice cream. The ice cream man showed the cone in his other hand and put it back under the ice cream.
He handed the cone back to Wally, repeating the flipping of the cone to keep the speedster from actually getting the cone. Once again, Wally got the cone, but the ice cream was taken away. He dropped the ice cream back in the tub and pulled all the ice cream in another tub, motioning to put it on Wally's flimsy kiddy cone. Wally laughed as the man put the ice cream and his cone back. He switched to a sugar cone and started stacking it with different flavors before giving it to Wally. Wally gladly took the cone, only to realize there were two cones, and the man pulled one away, along with the ice cream. The man took Wally's extra cone back, and shook Wally's hand while giving the ice cream with the other.
As Wally went to grab the ice cream, the man slipped it under Wally's grab and then tilting it sideways. Wally just went in and bit the ice cream before the man finally gave Wally the ice cream. The group clapped as Wally started enjoying his finally earned treat.
The group packed up their stuff as they finished of their cold treats. Artemis smiled as she took a picture of Robin's messy face before wiping him clean.
Robin held hands with Artemis and Wally as everyone strolled out of the park.
"Did you have fun today buddy?" Wally asked as he looked down. Robin nodded his head as he almost skipped back to the ship. Wally smiled as they boarded the ship, glad to still have one day left this week to make sure his favorite little buddy had a great time.
