Weekend Visit to the Cove

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle blushed a bit when Nate said he couldn't think of a better person to be his partner, but laughed when she heard his reasoning. She blushed madly when he picked her up, and actually almost squealed.

When she was safely on his shoulders she looked down at his head and just to calm her nerves of falling, started playing with his hair. "If you don't mind me messing with your hair, I'll be fine...I hope..." She muttered the last part to herself.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate chuckled as he felt her messing with his hair. If it had been anyone else, he would have said that he preferred them to stop.

"Alright, whatever makes you feel more comfortable, but I draw the line at pigtails or braids." He said, looking upward as if he were trying to get a good look at her.

He cleared his throat then and replaced the sweet smile with the cocky grin once more, "Are you two coming this way or are we going to win by default?" He called over to Izzy and Alavda.

[Alavda Noir]

"We're coming over there!" Alavda heard Izzy say as they waded over to where Nate and Belle were --but not before Ala got out of the water to grab some towels so that she didn't accidentally trigger her power. Once they were in the deeper water, after some difficulty because of the towels, Alavda managed to get onto Izzy's shoulders.

"It's going to be very interesting...balancing that is," she laughed. When she heard Nate say something about not having pig tails or braids in his hair, Alavda couldn't resist poking fun at him, "I don't know, Nate...I think that braids would suit you just fine," she said this as if she really meant it.

[Nate Brightmore]

Nate looked over at Alavda and his mouth opened as if he were going to say something, but he couldn't think of anything to say. So instead he shut his mouth and he gave a quick nod, a smirk twisting at one corner of his mouth.

"Right.. So you guys ready?" He asked once they were settled. He patted Annabelle's leg without really moving his hand away from it, "What about you Annabelle, still okay up there?" He asked.

[Julius Rainmaker]

Julius puffed away on his bubble pipe and watched the quad of teens in the water with interest. "What do you think they're doing?" He asked, not hearing what they were upto when it was asked around.

He tilted his head to the side as if he were listening to an answer. "Ahh, I see. Interesting. Well I believe that this game needs some music to go with it, yes? Something full of a competitive spirit..." He said then took hold of his earlobe and wiggled it alittle.

A few seconds passed and then music began filling the area around the cove. The song was 'We're Not Gonna Take It' by Twisted Sister. Julius sat back and smiled smuggly at his handywork.

He turned to Zen and puffed his bubble pipe a little more, sending multicolored bubbles into the air, that the wind carried over to where all of the others were sitting or standing.

"I always have liked this group they have great spirit. Though, I do wonder why they call themselves Twisted Sister, Even though they had the long enough hair to be sisters, they simply weren't. They were men, all of them. Though I suppose they could have been a smidge twisted..." his eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What do you mean that you don't think they intended the name to be taken literally? Ah well, this is a good song nonetheless." He said.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle looks down at Nate and just pats his head. "Yes, I'm still ok.." She said and then hears the music and laughs. "This makes me think of rebelling against the school." She says with a laugh. She goes away from that subject though and back to the game. "Come on guys..or are you gonna make it that easy for us?"

[Izzy Andrade L.]

"Hey Ala are you okay up there?" Izzy asked. He looked at Nate and Annabelle who where just a few meters away from them and said with a smile on his face, "Well guys may the best team win!"

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda tilted her head downwards so that she was looking at the top of Izzy's head, "Yeah, I'm fine," then she started hearing music, "Huh? Oh never mind..." she laughed.

She looked Annabelle right in the eye, "Bring it, Belle."

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle saw that her and Nate were getting closer to Ala and Izzy, and as soon as she got to Ala, she tried to go right for her hands. The reason she did this was because it was the only safe place to touch Ala. Hopefully Ala wouldn't move her arm in her way.

[Alavda Noir]

Alavda watched Belle and Nate get closer to her and Izzy. When she saw that Belle was going for her hands, she thought about putting her arm in the way or something, but then she decided that would be cheating. Alavda tried to weaken her arm strength when she and Belle started to wrestle with their hands, but she wasn't sure if she was holding back enough.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle knew that wrestling with Ala would be hard, but not this hard. She pushed with all her might and it didn't seem like she was getting anywhere. What made her mad though was it seemed like Ala wasn't fighting back.

"You know, it won't be much fun if I'm the only one playing.." She says and giggles a bit, but yet you could hear a bit of anger in her voice.

[Alavda Noir]

"Well, I don't want to break your arms, Cherie," Alavda informed Belle, "Do you want me to try harder?" She pulled one of her arms to the side in attempt to knock Belle into the water.

[Annabelle Ventus]

Annabelle slightly tilted when Ala moved her arm and tried to catch herself quickly so that she wouldn't hurt Nate. She sighed in relief and looked at Ala. She looked at Ala and got an idea. "Nate, I need to you run towards them...when you do that I'll push Ala as hard as I can, and since Izzy is quite clumsy, they'll fall" she whispers to Nate. "Could you do that?"

[Izzy Andrade L.]

Izzy saw Belle and Nate talking as if they were plotting a strategy to take them down easily so he took this chance and went straight ahead to attack them. "Ala we are going to attack them push Belle once we get there," Izzy told Ala. As he was closing in just a couple feet until he reaches Nate and Belle Izzy slips on a slippery rock under water and loses his balance falling and taking Nate and Belle which were closed to him making the game a tie.

[Alavda Noir]

"What?" Ala hadn't quite caught what Izzy said when he started running. She squeaked when Izzy slipped on a rock and sent them flying toward Belle and Nate. She managed to not see into Belle's past by twisting to the side a little bit.

She emerged from the water, her hair plastered to her face, neck, and back, "Woah," she wiped some water out of her eyes, "Does that count as a draw?"
