I own nothing.
Lesson 10: Don't arrive home earlier than expected.
"Here we are." said Hunter placing a giant bucket of water balloons on a table.
"Are those water balloons?" asked Mack
"Sort of. Instead of water, there's kool aid." replied Skye walking in with another bucket of water balloons filled to the brim.
"Why?"
"According to Coulson, May is returning in two days so this is our last hurrah." said Hunter
"Last hurrah?" asked Mack
"Yeah, when May gets back we won't have as much fun as we had for the past couple months."
"I thought you and May bonded over trying to kill Ward."
"I wouldn't call it bonding exactly but it doesn't mean that the fun in this place with dramatically decrease the minute she walks onto this base."
"I obviously don't believe any of that. I think it'll be just as fun or more fun when May gets back." said Skye.
"But you're going along with it anyways." said Mack
"Yep. So are you in?"
"What are the rules?"
She decided to return two days earlier than expected. Vacationing was interesting to say the least. Its been so long since she went on vacation that it took her a while to actually relax. Once she did though it was enjoyable but she was getting antsy now and wanted to do something else other than being a tourist. In other words she was getting bored.
She returned to base in the evening and it was almost empty except for a few people who greeted her with wary smiles. After stopping by her bunk, she walked further into the base she noticed that the ground was wet and the air smelled really sweet. Furthermore the walls were dripping with multicolored liquids. What was that? Kool-aid. Yep its definitely Kool-aid. What was going on here?
Just before she walked into the common area, she noticed that the whole room was covered in Kool-aid and pieces of a….balloon. Who was filling the balloons with Kool-aid and what were they doing with a whole bunch of them? Were they having a balloon fight? With Kool-aid? That will attract the ants. A lot of ants.
She walked carefully into the room and she got half way to the couch (most likely soaked) before she was pummeled with balloons. In a matter of seconds she was soaked and sticky.
"Aha we got you." said Skye popping up from behind the couch along with Fitz whose smiles dropped immediately after seeing who they hit.
"So you did." she said.
"Oh my God. May what are you doing here? Not like its not nice to see you or anything." fumbled out Skye now slowly crouching behind the couch.
"I have a better question. What is going on here?"
They didn't have a chance to answer because she heard screaming and it was headed towards her. Before she could do anything about it, she was immediately grabbed from behind the waist and in a matter of seconds she was even more soaked and sticky from behind. She didn't even have to turn around, she knew who it was. Coulson. He was playing too. Is this what has been happening while she was on her vacation? Was anyone even doing their jobs? Its a wonder the world didn't come to an end in the last couple of months.
"Woo, you guys were right. This is fun." he said to Skye and Fitz not realizing that what he did and to who. So she turned around to look Coulson in the face. He had popped balloons taped to the front of his shirt. The minute he saw her he dropped the rest of the balloons that he had in his hands.
"May?! I am so sorry. What are you doing here? I thought you were coming back in two days."
"I can't come back early."
"You have every right to come back early. You just should have told us."
"And ruin you're balloon fight? Never."
"Just so you know, they pressured me to do this." he said pointing over to Skye and Fitz. They pressured him. He's the Director for Pete's sake.
"Hey don't put this on us. It was all Hunter's idea and Skye's now that I think about it." said Fitz from somewhere behind the couch.
"I just agreed to it. I'm just an accessory." said Skye also from behind the couch.
"And where are Hunter and the others?" she growls.
"No idea."
"Good. Fitz I'm going to need you're help."
"With what?"
"Just bring those two buckets and find me two more."
"I heard May was back." said Bobbi to Hunter and Mack as they walked down the hallways carrying balloons.
"If she was back I'd be dead by now. They're just trying to spook us." replied Hunter
"Let's just hope that she didn't get hit or she'll be very angry." pointed out Mack
They walk further down the hallway, entered the common area, and saw pieces of balloons and Kool-aid everywhere.
"It looks like a war zone in here." said Bobbi.
"Maybe they got Coulson." said Mack hopefully.
"Nope." said May before yanking a rope and pointing up to where three buckets were filled to the brim with balloons. They quickly tipped over and soaked the three of them. As they were getting soaked, Skye and Fitz quickly pulled Mack and Bobbi out of the room. A fourth bucket was then slowly tipped on its side above Hunter and the biggest balloon rolled out of it and broke right over him.
"Well played May." said Hunter dripping in Kool-aid.
"Thank you. Now you guys have a lot of cleaning up to do. No one showers until the base is Kool-aid and balloon free. Then I'll hand out your gifts." said May before walking to the showers.
"That went better than I thought it would." said Coulson
"Explain." said Bobbi
"She wanted to pop the balloon with her gun but I told her it was a safety hazard."
"She also wanted to fill the balloon with very hot water because Hunter you're in hot water." said Fitz
"Isn't it good to have her back." said Skye.
Thanks for reading guys and thanks to those who left reviews. Beanie0700 gave me an idea about continuing Lesson 1 and it may be posted in a couple of days. I think I'll name it Back to Work or something to the effect.
