"Come on Thorn, you're soo slow." Scarlet turned and stopped for the third time, to let Thorn catch up.
Thorn wasn't too happy, "You're too fast. Seriously, where did you learn to run, the Olympics?"
Scarlet frowned. "Funny. But at least I didn't learn to run from snails." Scarlet retorted, "Anyway we're almost there."
Five minutes later the two friends walked into a clearing. A pool of water sat in the middle of the clearing, with a bench beside it.
"Wow, you never told me how beautiful it was." Thorn mumbled.
Scarlet frowned again, "Liar. I told you twice, you just don't pay an attention."
Thorn grinned sheepishly. "Sorry. Hey, want to go swimming?"
"Okay. At least you remembered your swimming costume."
The two teenagers slip off their clothes, revealing the swimming costumes beneath.
"Last one in's a rotten egg!" Thorn shouts running towards the water. Scarlet is ahead of him in seconds, but he doesn't care.
Scarlet dives into the clear blue lake. "Looks like you're the rotten egg", she laughs, as Thorn bombs his way into the water.
The water was warm from the sun's rays, and the two creatures were happy to swim through the water. Thorn soon gets bored of swimming; he can't keep up with Scarlet in water either, and so resorts to splashing her.
The hedgehog didn't take kindly to this, and starts splashing back.
"If only we could stay here forever." Thorn smiles, "The clearing I mean. It's just soo beautiful and calming."
Scarlet grins, "Yes, but wouldn't life get terribly dull if it was always the same?"
"I guess" and with that Thorn send another wave hurtling towards his friend, but by that time she had disappeared underneath the blue.
