I kinda wrote this based on a memory...a very painful memory.

Tag

The trio were sitting in the park, trying to amuse themselves.

"How about we play tag?" Danny suggested.

"Tag? Aren't we a little old to be playing tag?" Sam asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Nah, I don't think so. It sounds like fun." Tucker said in excitement.

Sam rolled her eyes. "All right. This should be interesting."

Danny grinned. "Yes! Not it!"

"Not it!" Sam quickly followed.

"Aw, man. Every time..." Tucker closed his eyes and slowly counted to 10.

Sam and Danny ran off in opposite directions. Tucker opened his eyes and ran after Sam.

Sam ducked behind a bush and grinned evilly. She stuck out boot-clad foot and laughed when Tucker went stumbling into the mud. "Missed me!" She took off in the direction of the playground.

Tucker pushed himself up, mud dripping from his face. "Sam! You are so immature!" He ran to the playground, and scowled as Sam leaned against the colourful metal. "Come and get me!" She hollered.

Tucker ran up the yellow stairs and across the blue bridge. When he got to the spot Sam was, she was gone. He leaned against the red bars and watched Sam grin up at him. "You fell for it? That's the oldest trick in the book!"

Tucker looked at the pink twisty slide to his left. "No fair!" He leapt over the bar and fell 5 feet into the stony gravel. "That's cheating!" Sam was nowhere to be found. He scanned the park with his green eyes. He spotted a mess of dark hair duck into the weeds by the pond. He raced toward it.

Danny, invisible, snuck up behind Tucker and grinned as he pushed him into the murky green water.

"AAAAAGH!" Tucker coughed and sputtered. "COME ON! HOW HARD IS IT TO TAG SOMEONE!" He jumped out of the pond scum and took off after his laughing friends.

Danny cleared the rusty blue picnic table in one jump. Sam easily followed suit. Tucker leapt up...and tripped. He cracked his head on the other side of the picnic table and went sprawling on the grassy ground.

Danny and Sam winced as Tucker's nose began bleeding heavily, his glasses cracked and bent. Tucker stood up woozily. Danny and Sam caught Tucker when he fainted.

"Ya know, I'm beginning to remember why we stopped playing tag." Danny mused as they lugged Tucker home.
