1"Dr. Saroyan won't approve of this."

"That's why we won't tell her isn't it?"

Zach and Jack were around a sink in the lab that they were using to fill water balloons. They were going to be used in the Water War the two had planned for that evening after work. All the employees of the Medico-Legal lab were invited, except Dr. Saroyan of course.

"Did Dr. Lee get the water guns?" Zach asked Jack. He was filling the balloons and Jack was tying them.

"Yeah. She got little ones, big pistol ones and Super Soakers."

"What will we do if we can't use the gym?"

"We'll just move the party to the mansion. It's the best place anyway. You're less likely to slip and break something on the mansion grounds."

"Hey you two!"

Zach jumped at Angela's high-pitched greeting, sending a stream of water into the air and onto the floor.

"Whoa! Careful Zach. You two almost done?" Angela asked.

"No. How about the buckets of water?" Jack asked her.

"All full. But you two need to hurry. Cam's back from lunch."

"Crap! Dude come on, fill faster!" Jack tied the balloon in his hand and flung it in the bucket they were using to store the filled balloons.

"I'll go help Bren with the ice," Angela said and took off.

Jack and Zach worked as fast as they could Zach turning the water pressure up so he could fill them in less time. They were going well until...

"What is going on here?"

Cam was coming towards them. There was no way they could hide. Zach had a half full balloon in his hand and Jack was standing beside a large container of them. She came walking up to them looking like the mother of two rude children ready to dish out punishment.

"Did I hear right?! Are you two planning a Water War for this evening?! Are you completely crazy?!"

"No. Who told you?" Zach asked.

"Dr. Lawson told me Zach, after I asked why he had a large cylinder of water in his office! You can't plan a- whoooooaaaaa!"

Suddenly, Dr. Saroyan went sliding forward in the water Zach had spilled on the floor. She would have hit the ground hard if she didn't reach out and grab Zach around the neck. She slammed into him, knocking him back into the sink

"Whoops," said Jack.

"That is one reason you can't have a Water War! It can cause accidents! You two should know that."

"We can go to Jack's house," Zach said.

"As long as it's not in my lab, I don't give a damn," she let go of Zach and made to walk away, "but as for in here, I'd rather you two be working on the ca-aaase!"

Once again Dr. Saroyan went down, clinging to Zach's shirt. He pulled her up and set her on her feet.

"Thank you Zach. Now, stop this and get back to work. Dr. Brennan probably needs you to do something in terms of the case."

"Dr. Brennan's setting ice cubes for the Water War," Jack pointed out, trying hard to hide the smile on his face as he watched the two others.

"You have to kidding me. Have you all lost your marbles? You can't play in the la-aaaaah!"

She slipped- again- and grabbed for Zach- again. But this time Zach slipped too and the pair of them collided with the floor in a crumpled pile.

"Ow!" they said in unison.

"Wow. The floor is especially slippery today isn't it?" Jack laughed.

"Zach get off of me!" Dr. Saroyan exclaimed.

"Ow! Your heel cut me!'

"Sorry."

They got up and straightened their clothes, looking embarrassed.

"Now," said Cam with a boom of authority, "You two stop filling balloons and go do something constructive. And mop up that water." She walked away.

"Dude," Jack's laugh came bubbling out, "I think she slid on purpose that second time!"

Zach's brows came together, "Why would she slide on purpose?'

Jack gave him a mischievous look, "I dunno. You tell me."
