"Kyo, we've been here for almost twenty minutes. Why hasn't anyone come looking for us?" Tohru asked. Kyo heard the nervousness in her voice and draped his arm across her shoulders.
"I guess the ride takes longer than we thought." He sighed. The wall was hard and it was starting to hurt his back.
"That's where you're wrong. They don't give a crap about where we are. They'd rather let us die out here than risk losing their job." Haru stated. Rin slapped his arm.
"It'll be all your fault if we die in here. And I'll never forgive you." She said as she stood up.
"Rin! Come back here!" Haru called after her as she made her way over to the water's edge.
"No way am I staying down here with you. You got us into this, and as always, I have to fix your pathetic, idiotic, and retarded mistakes. Feel free to join me Tohru." She said as she sat on the edge.
"Don't tell me you're going to try to swim back to the operator." Kyo said as Rin dipped her feet in.
"I'm not staying here." She said as she jumped into the water.
"I'm going to go with her." Tohru said as she got up and walked over to join Rin in the water.
"Oh no you're not. Stay here." Kyo demanded as Tohru hopped in the water.
"I'm going with Rin. See you guys later." Tohru said as she and Rin swam off.
"Rin isn't the only one that hates you." Kyo mumbled as he settled back against the wall.
"Oh I'm so scared. What are you going to do?" He asked as Kyo leaped to his feet.
"Don't tempt me." He warned.
"Oh I'm even more scared." Haru said as Kyo pushed him back.
"Now, want to try that again?" Kyo asked.
"What are you going to do?" Haru asked. Kyo gave one final push and Haru landed in the water with a loud 'plop'. He surfaced.
"That's what I'm going to do." Kyo said.
"This water is cold. And this shirt is dry clean only." Haru said as he pulled himself back up and turned on Kyo. He pushed him in.
Kyo came up and spat water out of his mouth.
"That was harsh Haru." Kyo said just as a water raft came around the corner.
"Hey you guys!" The ride operator yelled. Kyo looked over to see Tohru and Rin riding in the same raft.
Kyo pulled himself out of the water and onto the concrete where Haru was standing.
"Yes?" Haru asked.
"This isn't the splash pool. You're lucky your sisters came and told me what you did. Now both of you get into this raft and we will head back." He said. Haru and Kyo exchanged glances when he said that their sisters had come to get him.
Haru shrugged and said, "Alright. But I could have sworn this was a splash pool. I mean if it was that easy for us to get out, imagine how unsafe this ride must be for little kids."
"That's why we have a height bar. We assume people who are taller are more mature and will act responsibly. Apparently in your case, we were wrong." He said as they climbed into the raft.
They drifted back to the start where they had to get out.
They were all dripping wet and getting stares from all kinds of people. They continued down the exit ramp and went back to the picnic table they were at before.
Hiro and Kisa were already there. When they sat down Hiro looked them up and down.
"What happened to you guys?" He asked as Kisa looked too.
"Haru was an idiot, we got off the ride in the cave, Tohru and I swam back to get the ride operator, and apparently they had a water fight while we were gone." Rin said.
"I have towels in my bag." Kisa stated as she pulled out four towels.
They each tool one. Haru immediately started on his hair.
"Thank you Kisa." Tohru said.
"Thanks." Rin said as she dried off too.
"Your welcome." She said as she zippered her bag back up.
Rin elbowed Haru.
"Don't you have any manners?" She asked. He looked confused as he rubbed his arm where she'd elbowed him.
"Oh I'm sorry. Do you want me to help you dry off?" He asked offering her his towel.
"Ugh. No. I meant say 'thank you' to Kisa. Gees. All men think alike." She said as she rolled her eyes.
"Actually Rin, the thought of helping you dry off never crossed my mind. So no, we aren't all the same." Kyo said as he finished drying himself off the best he could.
"I'm not even going to comment." She said as she turned away from the table.
"Can you believe that guy said that our sisters came to him?" Haru asked.
"That would be kind of awkward, huh?" Kyo said as Tohru shook her head. Rin did the same thing.
"What guy said you all were siblings?" Hiro asked.
"That freaking ride manager. Said our sisters came to get him. He just doesn't know anything." Haru said.
"Hiro?" Kisa asked.
"Huh?" He asked looking over at her.
"Can we ride that ride?" She asked with a small smile.
"What? The one they went on?" He asked. She nodded.
"It sounds like fun." She said.
"It's only fun if you do what we did." Haru said.
"Never mind. I don't want to get all wet." She said.
"Want to go on a roller coaster? It'll be the fastest way to get dry." Haru said.
"Which one?" Kyo asked.
"Mind Eraser. It goes upside down and everything." Hiro suggested.
"Sounds fine. Where's it?" Haru asked as he looked at the map Tohru had laid across the table.
"Down near the little kids area." Rin said as she turned around to look at the map also.
"We have a little ways to walk. Let's get started." Hiro said getting up and walking down the path.
REALLY REALLY REALLY short, I know. Sorry. I seem to get writers block too much... School isn't going to be out until June 18. UGH! It seems the teachers only double the homework now. Anybody with me on that? Anyway, any ideas would be much appreciated. I probably ask for more help than any other author on this site... Read and Review! Thanks!!!
