Chapter 4-Back to School Before You Know It

'Do you think Ryouko remembers us ?', Marco asked while he and Star were lolling about in a river bank in a water park. The attraction was called Lazy River for a reason. Mostly, Marco was working on a tan, but Star was more interested in a ridiculously high corkscrew waterslide. Taking his hand, she easily pulled him out of his innertube and onto solid ground.

'I'm certain she does. I have a feeling Emiko is doing well, too. All she needed was a little push. I'm just glad none of us got hurt. She was closest to the action and I was certain that guy was going to kill her. Ryouko got him goooood.', Star reminisced.

'That she did. I tdon't think we have to worry about anything. They can all handle themselves expertly.', Marco said as they scaled the lengthy ladder to the pinnacle of the slide. It looked rather trecherous, but neither of them minded; both of them were adventurous.

With loud screams, both friends took different sides of the corkscrew and came hurtling out the end, resurfacing in the pool.

'So rad !', Star beamed as her attention shifted to a wave pool not far from where they had exited the corkscrew slide.

The evening had come to a close and the friends began to amble home at a brisk pace. The coolness of the evening made Star shiver. Marco draped a towel over them both and it kept them both warm.

'This has been the most ridiculous spring break ever, and I owe it to you.', Marco complimented.

'Awwww, no need to thank me. Just doin' what I do best.', Star said, slightly blushing. They made it home in time for a large dinner and promptly settled in their beds, dreaming about what tomorrow had in store. If it was anything like the previous days in the week, it would definitely be memorable.
