My boat is bigger than YOURS!

[Diesel]

Ian glared playfully at Aideen before the look turned a bit devious. He looked back at Niki and Hotwire with a pout of a sort trying to gain sympathy for being in the water. "Aw babe you're so good to me, you always look out for me. I could just kiss ya again." Ian gave her that crooked grin he knew she loved and melted for a good deal of the time. He swam over close to the boat and kept up that grin. "Ya know what I think I'll do just that." Ian's adoring grin broke into a mischievous smirk and before either of the girls realized, he kicked up a bit out of the water and grabbed Niki's foot, yanking her in along with Hotwire who was holding on to her.

He laughed when the three of them went underwater, grabbing Niki and kissing her underwater before they both popped up to the surface. Ian began cracking up at the look on his girl's face and splashed her a bit with the water. "Babe, have I ever told you how good you look when your wet?" he said winking at the double meaning and grinned widely at her. "Wow I'm totally the man, I made two girls wet with one little tug." Ian was loving this and cracking up. He swam a bit away and tried to dodge any coming attacks at him and splashed the two girls.

"Go Spitfire, save yourself!" he yelled still laughing when he glanced at her in the canoe with the hot little amused look on her face. He was glad she was relaxed for once, and he was having a blast even though the water was really cold. Best class EVER!

[Taffy]

It took Ricki a good while of eternity to get her voice back - and by the time she did manage to get her voice back, Gavin and her were shooting down at what seemed like 38825687 mph. "OH YOU BLOODY BIRD!" Ricki shreiked as she managed to resurface and get the water out of her eyes, she was grinning despite herself. She just couldn't be mad at Gavin for that - to be fair, despite all the scary stuff that was going on inside her, she'd actually had fun. It was like going on the Colossus rollercoaster in England - just a lot higher and a lot more fun. "Oh you are so not getting away with that!" she added, sending a huge wave in his direction.

She turned over to look at Ian, Haven and the two corsairs, "Sorry for any inconveniance," Ricki added in casual tone, before going underwater, and resurfacing right in front of Gavin, using both her palms to touch every inch of his face. "Seeing i'm so DIRTY, seems like you've been INFECTED too birdboy!" she cooed, sticking her tongue out and making a sorta 'shame-bitch' face in his direction. "Feel LUCKY I'm NICE." she added, "I know your wings are all water-sensitive, so i'm not gonna be too mean!" she stuck her tongue out once more, adding a bit of an underwater kick aimed at his knee.

[Hotwire]

Ariel squealed as she fell into the cold water and submerged herself completely to get the initial shock of the water out of the way and surfaced, her long black hair floating in the water around her shoulder. "That was a cheap shot, you evil little boy!" she called out as she just had to retaliate. While Diesel was focusing on Haven, Ariel swam up behind and launched herself up and pushed down on Diesel's shoulders to dunk him under the water and hold him there for a second before using him to kick off as a way to get out of his reach and to get him back again. She dove underneath and dodged the kicking feet, blindly grabbing Diesel’s ankles and yanking them down, then moved her hands back up to his shoulders again to keep him down while kicking him in various places. She resurfaced while doing so and laughed. “Yeah now what!” she called out, pinching his side underwater before letting him up. When he came up she punched him in the chest with one hand and his arm with the other. “You are a dork and you do that again I will beat yo ass!” she threatened playfully while laughing, winking at Haven with a grin. “And don’t think I won’t, I got no issues beating up boys’ asses, I beat up my brothers at home so don’t mess with me,” she said while still laughing, but the statement was serious.

Ariel punched Diesel’s side and pinched his neck as she then said with a mock serious face and narrowed eyes, “You have been warned.” She kicked his back as a push off to go bother Aideen next, cause she just had to. It was impossible not to cause she was the only one not joining in the fun. Her eyebrow arched slightly in amusement as she looked up at her teammate watching the rest of them with an amused look on her face. "Oh come on Aideen, don't tell me you're not gonna join the fun and be wet with us. I know you probably look great wet," she said, going so far as to put a hand onto the rim of the boat, and even rocked it a couple times, just to get Aideen going a little. Ariel knew that Aideen was probably never going to join in something like that, and if she were to actually try to get her to fall in, Ariel would most likely be scorched. Or hit with the boat paddle, but it’s not like she couldn’t defend herself in that. She just chose not to almost get hit in the first place.

"You deny me a delicious sight, but some time you gotta loosen up, you know. And as always," she said with a cheeky grin and a laugh, rocking the boat one more time, "You know I'm always around to help you if you need it." With that she winked and grinned, putting one hand in the water to splash at her a little. Watching wasn’t as fun as actually doing, and Ariel was careful enough to keep it away from Aideen’s skin, so it only hit her pantleg. “Don’t boil me now,” she said with a grin, and was about to say something else when there was yelling and a big splash. She turned around to see that it was the younger winged boy and the stretchy blonde girl, both Acolytes. She shook her head at them when they surfaced and complained about being dirty, laughing at them cause it was just amusing. “Aren’t you two supposed to be treehugging or something?” she asked with a laugh and then shrugged. The race that was supposed to happen was never finished, which wasn’t a surprise, so who cared if other people joined them in the water? As long it wasn’t Rumble to cause trouble Ariel was cool with it.

[Ember]

Aideen smirked and wiped the remaining droplets of water off her skin. She was hot enough with the added sunlight for little splashes of ice cold water to have little effect on her, practically turning into steam within a minute of hitting her skin. The amused little smirk stayed on her face throughout the whole scene with Ariel wrestling with Diesel just like she saw her do with Calorie sometimes and continued with an added raised eyebrow when screams filled the air and a blur of black and red hit the water hard making a huge splash. "Well..." Aideen said when StormHawk and Taffy emerged from the water. "That I didn't foresee." She used her paddle and splashed Ariel with it.

"I don't think I need to loosen up, thank you very much," Aideen said with a little amused smile and leaned in, making sure that Niki could hear her as well. "I been told that being as tight as I am is a really... really... really good thing." The look and smirk on her face was both impish and seductive almost as she got her point across along with a more sultry voice like she used with Mason when they sparred. She shook her head, still smirking and brought the paddle back in the canoe and leaned back on the little board behind the one she sat on.

Her dark eyes looked back down at Ariel with an almost challenging look, smirk growing at the reaction her bold words induced. Aideen's good and relaxed mood was doing her good, particularly since she would discreetly trace the faint mark on her neck and biting back a smile at the upcoming night

[Haven]

Haven caught the look on her best friends face, and the sly little joke was just enough to break the tension that was building in her. It was perfect timing on Ember's part since Haven was about to go off and maybe that was why it struck her as so very funny. Thinking about it all and what had just happened who could really blame her. If it hadn't been for her talk with TrueSpirit things would have gone down a little differently, but as she had decided to temper her actions they all were still swimming in blood free waters. As a slight chuckle bubbled up and out of her she took a breath and thought back. She was actually a little pissed off at Diesel for pulling his stunt with her and Hotwire. She had given up the chance to pull way out in the lead of this little race they were having to swing back around and give her friends a hand, possibly jeopardizing whatever it was that she was building with Ariel. It wasn't much of a trust or a teamworky thing, or even a sense of being able to rely on one another as much as it was just a decently easy going time. Too bad the Brazilian had overstepped her bounds and ruined that.

No sooner had she hit the chilly water and gotten upset had she gotten over it, thanks to Ian's warm embrace and his tender kisses. Adding to all of that was his thick hard...body...and his beautiful eyes. Niki loved how he played and she couldn't stay mad at him, she was putty in his oh so strong hands and loving every second of him touching her under the water's surface. Then Hotwire pulled her crap. "What the hell bitch!?!" Niki had said but both Hotwire and Diesel were underwater at the time. She was going to punch the snot out of that confused gropey dyke as soon as she surfaced. Haven couldn't believe her eyes and she looked on stunned at the scene for a moment as her rage built and Ariel kept right on with her shit. It just was not something one did, touch another girl's man. Not like that, and not right in front of the girl, then the whore turned and winked...winked? "What the freak bitch?" was all Niki could say as she witnessed the whole thing. Oh no you di'int, I am seriously gonna bust you a chop you mutha- eh? Oh now she's on Aideen? Huh? I think this bitch needs to get laid or some shit...damn, nobody told me I was teamed with 'insta-slut' just add water and she'll try it with everyone around.

The atomic belly flop of her two teammates arriving had been right on cue. A second later and it would have been too late for Hotwire. If they hadn't have landed right then and right there, in between Niki and Ariel things would have been a whole lot worse that afternoon. But the splash was huge and the raining water cooled her rage. It was cute, a welcome distraction from the struggle to contain herself and seeing the interaction of Gavin and Ricki she almost smiled. She thought how fun, more competition for the affections of their very own winged wonder boy. His was such the burden, what with his looks and his talent, Niki even genuinely enjoyed the guy and thought he was a real sweetheart.

Thinking about it she could actually endorse the two of them spending a bit more time together now that the little shapeshifter had been put back down where she belonged with the diaper brigade. Ricki had always struck Haven as some kind of an uptight nanny wanna-be, always whispering and holding onto their weakest link but at lunch she had really been full of some renewed love of life. Yeah, I think maybe they'd make a cute couple...beter Ricki than that drunk slut pirate chick or the blond 'Dumbshell' Heather. Gavin's too cool for any of their bullshit, at least Ricki seems sorta with it.

"Yo Aideen, what's up with your girl over there?" Niki nodded at Hotwire as she treaded water. "That bitch was all over my man. We were havin a moment there and that slut wantsa play grab ass? No - thats just no. You need to check her on that shit, I'm cool and all but fuuuck. This ain't no party...you know?" Haven was going to do her best to play nice with everybody, but right at that moment her mood was balancing very precariously on the point of a pin and the slightest thing might set her off.

Looking back to Ian she smiled and said "Aww baby, you OK? Did that scary rude thing dunk you?" she was patronizing him with a bit of baby talk. As she kissed him she reached up to grab both his nipples and twist them hard while she bit his lip and sucked on it, not hard enough to draw blood just hard enough to make it hard.....for him to ignore her. Turning the bite into a steamy hot tongue kiss she let go of his nipples as she wrapped her limbs around him. Her legs wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck. As she pulled herself up close on him and let him take over the duty of keeping them afloat she moved her mouth to his ear and pulled his head to her breasts. She whispered "You bad boy...mmm... now you got me all wet."

[Diesel]

"Baaabe," Ian said looking around a bit at all the other people that were not joining them. He didn't mind a kiss or two but he was never big on major public displays of affection and his girl knew how to get him going. "We ain't in the place to finish anything we would start," he said almost with a slight whine and painfully moved his face away from her breasts and pulled her down so they were more eye level. Ian nuzzled the side of her face to calm her down. "Don't be mad at Hotwire babe, I totally deserved that. And c'mon it takes more than that to hurt me, we were just playing," he said softly and kissed her cheek softly. Niki had always had a quick temper, but on the brighter note she generally got over it quick if it wasn't pushed. Ian winked at Hotwire and grinned at her from over Niki's shoulder.

While treading the water he moved his hands down and positioned Niki's legs so they were secure around his waist. "I'll give ya a lift babe, let's go see what's up with the others huh? Then we'll talk about where we'll 'meet' up later alright?" Ian used his powerful arms and swam forward towards Gavin and Ricki. "Look at you bro, you're just a babe magnet. First you got Blondie all wound up, then that Kat chick was drooling over you, and now you literally swept Ricki here off her feet. Even I never had that kinda luck," he said with a laugh and clapped him on the shoulder.

Ian brought his hand back in the water and cupped Niki's generous behind. "But I got all the luck I need right here, right babe?" he said and grinned at Niki. He was really chill with Gavin and had no issue with Ricki, making it really easy to relax around them. His girl was getting good with her temper but no one was perfect. He knew at this point how to cool her down and didn't mind doing it. She'd been the one cooling him down lately so this was a nice change of pace.

[TuneUP]

"Wait up Tia!" Sean called and ran over to grab Kate. "C'mon Katie girl we can sit on the dock and hang out there," he said to her with a smile and laced his fingers with her. He knew she wouldn't want to rough house with the rest of them and he was alright to just sit with her on the dock. More company didn't hurt though and he wouldn't mind spending a little more time with Tia. He was good in quiet company, as was Kate and Tia didn't seem the type that appreciated constant jabbering. Sean waved to Kevin as he ran toward the lake and walked with Kate to catch up to Tia.

"Ya mind if we join you? I don't think either of us plan to roughhouse in the water. I bet you could use your wind and make some real fun waves," he said pleasantly and walked with her and his little lady to the dock. He waited for the girls to sit down first before he joined them by the dock. "Heh you can make some waves and really give them a surprise," Sean said with a big grin at the surprise people would get with a wave. He let his legs dangle from the dock and waved over to Ian and Gavin. He put his arm around Kate and grinned at her. "I'm betting that Sky over there is gonna give Chase one helluva beating for that." Sean said with a laugh.

[Calorie]

"INCOMING!" Kelly burns yelled as he ran to the water kicking off his shoes and unbuckling his belt and practically falling out of his jeans. He was really looking forward to seeing chicks in wet clothes and get away from that retard rabbit that kept stamping it's foot and pointing at him. Kelly figured that he was doing some weird rabbit dance that freaked him out. He hated rodents, they should just go back to the tree and lay their eggs where they belong. "WET T-SHIRT PARTY!" Kelly yelled and ran into the cold water without giving a damn how cold the water was and dove right in wearing his shirt and boxers.

He splashed around all over the place and then dove under water and swam right towards Ariel and Aideen. Kelly was pretty good at holding his breath ever since his older brother put his G.I. Joe stickers on the bottom of the pool back home and he had to dive under and take them off. He passed out a couple of times but he it got him the ability to hold his breath for a long time. Kelly swam right up to Ariel and his hand went right to her juicy ass as he pulled himself up. "Ariel! I knew that that was you. Hey did you know that your ass looks hot under water?" he said when he popped his head up behind her.

His eyes went right to her wet shirt and a big grin went on his face. "IT'S THE QUEEN OF WET T-SHIRTS! HER REIGN LIVES ON!" he yelled and cracked up so much he forgot to tread the water and ended up sinking. Ariel had been the Queen of the Wet T-Shirt for years and her reign had yet to end. Kelly throughly enjoyed reminding her of that. He swam back up and gasped for air before grinning big. "C'mon Aideen, she needs competition!" Kelly said trying to get some more of a show cause that would just be hot. Especially that he had a fantasy the other die about Ariel and Aideen, only fueled when he saw Ariel flirt with her. Whoa... those two should be the first in the honey pit wrestling match... man that would be hot.

[Riff~Raff]

Having discarded his shirt, pants, shoes and socks next to a tree, Riker ran to the lake at full speed clad only in his boxers. He leaped several feet away from the shore and tackled Chase right into the cold water. Really to Riker it wasn't all that cold since he would swim in the lakes in Ireland that had to be at least fifteen degrees cooler than this lake. ~SPLASH~ ~SPLISH~ ~KerSPLAT~[/i][/size][/color] Riker wrestled with Chase in the shallower end, finally getting him in a headlock. "Oui Chase ya lookin' a wee bit wet there," Riker said with a laugh. He socked him right in the stomach and then let him go to dive all the way in the chilly water.

Riker loved the water, just like his sister. They used to play in the river with their pack in the spring and summer. His sister loved the winter water, though Riker didn't care for it as much as he liked the spring and summer water. He had just been looking for an excuse to play around in the lake. Still underwater, Riker swam over to where Sky was and grabbed her, shooting up out of the water. "Well lookie here, it seems I caught meself a wee stick o' a fish," Riker said with a big grin on his face when he held Sky up bridal style as high as his chest. "Aye an' lookie here, her wee nubs came out te say 'hello'." He smirked at Sky and moved her back as if to throw her. "Oui Chase, catch!" he said with a laugh and threw Sky's skinny body to the tall red head with a laugh at her reaction.

[Decay]

"OH freak MY LIFE! COLD!" Sky yelled at the top of her lungs when she fell into the lake. She was cursing left and right and took off her socks and shoes, throwing them on the grass. Grabbing a huge glop of wet gooey sand, Sky managed to throw it smack in Lian's face, mouth open and all before Riker gave her a heart attack. "AHHHH RIKER YOU IRISH DICKWAD!" Sky yelled laughing and flaying her arms all over the place. "And leave me and my white shirt alone you colossal- NOO!" she yelled when she was thrown to Chase. "Don't drop me, don't drop me!" she yelled before Chase pulled away his arms. "YOU GOD DAMN NEEDLEDI-" Sky's scream was cut off with a big ~SPLASH[/i][/size][/color].

Sky's butt hit the water right in front of Chase, a slight scowl on her face. She reached up and grabbed the front of his pants and pulled him forward with all her strength so he'd fall forward in the water. He fell right on top of her just as Sky's head popped out of the water. Being the quick skinny thing she was, she easily scrambled over his back so she could sit on him in the water. "You are a DICK!" Sky yelled and bit him hard on the shoulder. She didn't doubt that he would be able to get right back up and probably throw her off, but that never stopped her and it certainly wouldn't stop her now.

[StormHawk]

"What can I say Ian, I'm irresistible. I'm gonna need a taser gun to keep them away from me. Look at this, Ricki just can't stop touching me. AND she admitted I was hot earlier. I'm surprised she hasn't restrained me with her rubber band limbs and had her way with me," Gavin said with a laugh and dodged the inevitable hits that would come. He grinned at Niki and Ian and dunked himself under the water and let himself sink to the bottom and disappear into the blackness of the lake. Timing it just right, he moved his wings underwater and with his arms up, he grabbed Ricki's feet and surged up moving her out of the water to toss her to the side and back into the water with a big splash.

"AHAHAHHA! Oh man that was great. I made rubber girl into a wannabe dolphin, ten points!" Gavin laugh and high fived Ian. He grinned widely at Ricki and laughed at the hair that got in her face. "Aw don't be mad Ricki, your loving the attention. We all know you worship me and just count the seconds till I give you some more of my attention. Now you have a whole bunch!" he said in a seemingly pleasant voice with a teasing glint behind it. He discovered today that Ricki was way more fun without Torri hanging on her every second. They were always really cool with each other but they never played around the way they did now. Gavin liked it, it made her way cooler in his eyes and it only strengthened them as friends.

He made shifty eyes and looked between Niki hanging on to Ian and Ricki. "She want's to jump me, I see it in her eyes man. I think we're gonna have to start locking our door Ian. She may violate me in my sleep," he said in loud whisper and made a goofy face at Ricki.

[Hotwire]

Ariel just had to grin as she saw pretty much the rest of the class hopping into the water after everything. This was one reason she always liked Iceman's class- the end was always fun and now was no different. Everyone was going swimming and having fun and it was great because not even the water being cold didn't stop one of them. She was looking around at all the younger kids joining and then felt her ass grabbed and knew it had to be Kelly. She rolled her eyes with a smirk as he carried on about wet t-shirts and her ass and then nodded in agreement when Kelly suggested Aideen get in the water. "Yeah Aideen," she said laughing, knowing she would never do it, but it was still fun to bother her. "I gotta know if I got competition! I been reigning for years and not saying that I wanna be overthrown but it'd be funny to have someone try and compare!" she said with another laugh and floated around behind Kelly while he was staring at Aideen.

Like she had done to Diesel she pushed herself up and pushed down on his shoulders to dunk him, only this time she used her feet to push him down more and flipped backward in the water. When he came back up she jumped on his back and wrestled him back under so she could keep him down cause it was just fun to do. It wasn't like he couldn't take it either since she'd hold him underwater for a good bit of time and he'd still be okay. Next thing she jumped off his back and let him up again and swam away before he could grab at her, which she knew he was going to do cause that was what he always did.

She looked at all the people joining in now and saw Diesel and Haven further away now. After that little outburst of hers Ariel did nothing but shake her head at it. Ariel was used to girls getting like that around her when she was around them and their boyfriends. Even if she wasn't interested they tried jumping down her throat and it just amused her cause she didn't even have to do anything half the time. Cute little girl, getting all worked up like that. It's funny every time, she thought with a smirk before turning to look back in Kelly's direction and started kicking away again.

[Puppy~Love]

Hemlock's second bright idea was easier than throwing a hedge wall in front of Lurai. Actually it was a lot like home in Ireland. Lurai would race around in the forest and chase around rabbits like the smelly one that was still living through tight spots they would try to lose her in. Sometimes they went through bushes she could just jump right over and catch them with, but other times she could just follow them and grab them by their back paws and Lurai would have dinner. It was the same concept here when Hemlock tried to close the hedges in on her. The only difference was, by the time they were moved in enough on her to hinder her moves she was halfway through already.

Lurai easily squiggled out just as she heard the water from the lake constantly splashing around and the other kids yelling and laughing. Sounds like class is over. Time for a swim! she thought with a toothy grin as she ran back around to get out of the hedge maze. "See you Queen, I'm going swimming!" she said and stopped for a moment so she could laugh goofily. "Last one there is dinner. Do you like to be fried or baked? I prefer fried food. Crunchiness is good," she said with a devious grin and then sped off towards the lake.

It was just like she had heard. Everyone was gathering in the lake and the first thing -next to jumping right in- she had to do was go tackle her brother just because it was too fun not to. That, and he was preoccupied with tossing Sky to Chase. She ran on all fours as she headed in his direction and tackled him so that he went under, and she as well. The cool water was refreshing and didn't bother her in the least. As she resurfaced, she laughed maniacally as she wrestled with her brother.

[Lymited~Ink]

At the edge of the lake, Kat made a point of sitting down on the ground while she removed her shoes and set them neatly next to her, laying her socks on top of them. She got up after and then dipped a toe into the cold water as if it mattered since she had already been drenched in cold water before daintily wading in and deciding where she would go. A big grin went on her face as she went in deep enough so that she could skulk through it with only her head being visible, heading towards her hilarious teammates. Sky and Chase were already at it and it seemed Riker was busy as well, so she looked towards Ripple and saw her face full of wet clumpy sand.

Kat grinned and covered her mouth to 'hide' a giggle as she pointed at Ripple. "Sand is not good for you, least not for your tummy. For your skin perhaps, but methinks ye wouldn't want to make a face mask out of that, that would be better for avocados or some other cushy fruit. How did you happen a sandy face?" she asked with another giggle. "I be sure you don't bury your head like an ostrich...you are skinny like an ostrich neck so I'm sure burying yourself would be easy enough...oh if we were all that lucky..." she said as if she wished she could bury herself in the sand. She rather not though, she didn't quite prefer having sand in places every place known to existence and in places she didn't know existed.

"Here, allow me to wash yer landlubber face," Kat said with a mischievous smirk as she splashed Ripple, smacking the water with a hand to hit water squarely in her face. She giggled again before dropping herself under water to avoid any retaliating splash back, skulking around again even though she could probably be seen anyways because of her extremely pale skin.

[Ember]

Aideen shook her head at her two teammates with a slight smirk. Going into the water would probably mean her body going into shock and instead of spending a weekend in Boston she'd be at the med lab. Not something that was on her agenda. She was looking forward to a weekend out of here despite her reservations about being so close to her Uncle. Aideen loved the school but she needed a break from all the bull here and away from Rumble. A weekend racing with Mason, Tracy, and of course Logan would do her a lot of good. She'd come back relaxed and happy with a grand or two more of cash on her.

Picking up her paddle, Aideen nodded to Ariel and Calorie. "I'll let you keep the crown Ariel. I'm going to go and dock the boat in the boathouse," she said and paddled to the boathouse, her paddle moving from one side of the boat to the other as she smoothly moved across the lake into the boathouse. She had enough of the water for the day, and couldn't even enjoy it properly without getting hypothermia. The boat that she made for the challenge was decent and could be used as a spare canoe in case she wanted to go out and use it.

She pulled into the boathouse and gave one final push with the paddle to get into one of the free spots. Her hands went out in front of her to grab the dock so she could steady the canoe and leaned over to grab the spare rope. Carefully and methodically, Aideen tied the rope into a neat anchor hitch knot to the post and did the same to the hole she made on the other side of the canoe. Gingerly, she stepped out of the and sat on the deck beginning to dissemble the parts of steam engine. It wouldn't take long and Aideen wanted to get in a workout before the night.
