"Wheeeeeee!" Orko dived in - SPLASH! Into the water of the smooth, crystal clear lake below. He emerged, lying on top of the water, letting the river carry his body gracefully downstream as he closed his eyes and listened to the relaxing sounds of nature that kept flooding his long, pointy ears. "Mmmmmmmm…." sighed Orko as he let the water carry his body, "Relax. Yeah…so cool and inviting." And the water was. In a jungle like this, the water was still, calm and inviting, just right for a Trollan wizard, and what was there to come in this story. Around him, cherry blossom petals fell from the trees and gently tumbled around him, landing gently on the water. It was pure bliss.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar, squeaky lioness cub voice call out: "Wheeeeeeee!" SPLASH! Orko sat up in the water and looked around for who splashed him, looking around even as the water carried him. Suddenly, Furaha burst out of the water, squealing in joy. Orko laughed, and hugged his favourite sister. "I'm so glad you have come to join me," he giggled, "Why don't you come and join me in my little relaxation session?" "Would I ever," yawned Furaha, suddenly feeling a little tired.
She and Orko lay down on top of the water, and let the current carry their bodies straight out into where the river became vast and wide. "It's so nice being able to swim in the river with you, Orko. It's a breakaway from all of life's harsh modern rules." smiled Furaha, "You obey them every day and realise you don't have time to relax and play. And now, there you are, enjoying life." "Aaaaaaaahhhh…" both of them sighed as they lay back in the water. "So relaxing," swooned Furaha. "Whoever swam in this lake before us must've got some pretty nice inspiration for his or her future. Mowgli, Tarzan, Romulus and Remus…anyone, literally, who swam in this beautiful river." Furaha yawned and continued to let the water carry her.
Suddenly, one drop of water fell from the sky. Then another. And another. Soon, it was raining heavily, and surrounding Orko and Furaha in a shower of security. Furaha and Orko giggled and squealed in excitement. "It's raining!" she screamed in joy, "Now we've got the river all to ourselves." Furaha and Orko kept laughing and giggling as they made their way down the river.
No sooner had the river reached its end, than Furaha and Orko found themselves floating in the middle of a lake. A huge lake deep enough for even an Autobot. Furaha and Orko cheered in excitement, because the rain was heavy and refreshing enough for them to play in the deep water themselves. They splashed each other and pretended to be crocodiles. It was ever so exciting, almost as exciting as what's going to happen next.
"RAAAAAAAAA!" Furaha and Orko heard a familiar voice scream. It was Optimus Prime, their caretaker, and he leapt into the wide open lake, splashing Furaha and Orko and making it rain all over them. Optimus emerged dripping with waterfalls of lake water, and the two friends just had to laugh with him. At long last, after they have managed to catch their breath, they lay down in the water and floated around, sighing gently, having calmed down from all the excitement they felt when in the river. "Relax…" sighed Optimus. "Just feel at one with nature. No hurry." "I think you're probably right, Optimus," swooned Furaha, "This is the best river and lake we ever swam in." "And probably the most relaxing too." said Orko, "It's even better than being in the bath…"
And so, with a sigh of contentment, the friends continued relaxing in the rain and lakewater, delighted they're altogether, finding the warmth and friendship of being by each other's sides…forever and always.
