//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Splash Zone // by Chelis //------------------------------// "I knew it! I fucking knew it!" I shouted, pointing at Sunset and her guilt. "The hell are you doing here?! This is the girls restroom!" She shouted back. "Chasing whoever left the muddy tracks that came from the potted plants by the dock, which had the controls to the shark! It leads here, and it leads to your muddy feet!" I explained, hollering at the top of my lungs, excited that I had finally caught her. "Why the hell does the dock have plants and bushes where the water is supposed to be! That's stupid and tacky!" "Because fuck you, that's why!" "Shitty answer!" Sunset raged. "Except I was the one asking the question, you stupid bitch!" Her face became red, her veins slowly appearing around her face in anger. In my rage, I had awakened the sleeping giant that was Sunset Shimmer. And yet, I didn't care, even if it meant my imminent death. "Why the fuck do you have to ruin everyone's fun, huh?! At school, when not at school, and even when I was going to take a friend on a day out! You just have to come and ruin everyone else's fun! Do you even have a goddam soul?!" "I-" "You what?! I know you ain't saying sorry! I hope they can your ass here because I work here, and they won't let you get away with shit like this! I hope Flash fucked you enough to loosen you up good because you're probably going to get more at juvenile hall tonight! Yeah! I pinned punks like you down on the ground until the cops take you to butt pounding jail. You think I'm joking?!" I was breathing heavily, catching my breath from that outburst. I realized half the shit I just said didn't make sense, but I felt amazing. Sunset stood against the wall, unamused of what she just went through. "Feel better?" She asked sarcastically. "Very much so! Thank you!" "So, what is juvenile hall?" She asked "Jail, for minors. I don't think you are a minor… how old are you?" "I'm legal." "What do you mean legal." "I'm legal in the country where the reader is reading your retarded story," "Oh, yeah, real sodomy jail is where you will be going!" I said with glee. "W-wait, don't they give you a warning or kick you out?" "Nope! They don't mess around here. Whoops! You done goofed!" Her demeanor turned into worry, and I was enjoying every second of it. "You better help me get out of this place," she threatened, her worry was written clear across her voice and tone. "No." "I will kill you if you don't." She raised her voice. "I've been waiting a long time for this moment. Your petty threats won't intimidate me!" I grinned. "Is that how it has to be, then fine!" She barked. She reached down to her bikini and began to pull it down. It wasn't until she had almost revealed her womanhood when I stopped her. What the hell is she doing. I grabbed her hand just as her bikini bottom was about to slip further and show me… Well, what she had to offer. "No, stop. This is low, even for you." I said in disgust. "Look, I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get out of here… Even if it means fucking my way out of it." "You don't need to do that, I’ll help you out anyway," I sighed. Besides, there was another girl I wanted to see strip down, and it wasn't Sunset. I guess when it came down to it, I still needed to keep appearances with Silver, and honestly, Sunset was the only thing resembling a friend at school. Sunset had me by the balls in that regard, whether she knew it or not. "So what, you're gonna be one of those white knights then?" "Well, I was going to say put in a good word with Silver Mist." She snickered. "You really like her huh? Alright then, deal." We heard the echoes of footsteps, and they were getting closer. One of those footsteps were from high heels, the park manager. My boss. "So, what's your plan?" "R-right! Through this window and to your left. There's an emergency exit door with no alarm. It's how we sneak our friends in for free. Just go through there and you should be able to blend in with the crowd leaving the park.” "Okay, well, help me up!" I knelt in front of her and stuck out my hand, offering a boost. She accepted, and the caked mud on her feet collected on my hands as I helped her over. I stayed around until I heard the clank of the emergency exit door latch closing, and I knew she was in the clear. Although, how she would get sandals to get home would be a different question. Oh well, she is a tough girl. She can survive. The door behind me busted open, and standing on the door frame was the manager and a few of the security guards. "Ma'am, I'm sorry but she got away," I said with fake, heavy breaths. I guess seeing how my feet were clean and that there were mud prints on the wall and the window frame cleared me from the act. "What did she look like?" She asked. "Tall, green hair and gray skin." "Huh, I didn't see any girl like that match the description, oh well. Still, you were working on this even on vacation? Look, I don't usually give the first year's a shot at mid-manager, but I think you deserved your shot. *** By the time I walked back to the beach, Silver was still there, waiting for me at the cabana. She ran into my arms, and I finally felt the bliss I was craving. "Wheres Sunset?" She asked. "She was the ones behind the pranks… I sort of helped her escape." "Really?" "Yep," I said. "Wow, that makes you a bad boy then," she said seductively. "Yea, I guess it does, I mean I did become a manager out of all of it and-" "You're really bad at this," Silver giggled as she leaned in for a kiss on my cheek. "What time does this place close again?" "Around one or two in the morning. Why?" "I feel like riding all the rides, and ending our night making out on the waves," she said with a smile. My heart began to beat faster, and I took a deep breath. "S-sure." She grabbed my hand and began to lead me into the park. It felt like a dream, just like the rest of the night. *** It seemed that day was the day my life turned upside down, in a good way. I got the girl, I got the promotion, and the raise that would allow me to buy a used car in the near future. Yep, life was great, but it still had its challenges. For today's shift, it was putting out small metaphorical fires which ended with getting chewed out by a mother who couldn't understand why she couldn't send her one-year-old down a waterslide, alone. Even with her excuse of "ah can just catch her when she enta's tha pool" wasn't enough to convince me. She ended up contacting my manager and got her refund. "Trust me, two hundred dollars in losses is better than the millions in lawsuits, insurance, and getting ringed out by corporate." As I clocked out at the end of my shift, the late night crew were settling in, usually made up of the kind of people who would be in their forties and would still live in their parent's basements. Still, as long as the government cut the checks for their employment and they didn't do anything horribly wrong I guess corporate was okay with it. Still, I had planned for this job to last me a few years and head off to college with managerial experience and a car. Until then, there was the here and now, and the here and now ran up to me and gave me a hug and kiss as soon as I left the employee exit. It was Friday night, and she and I were about to have some fun. As we were in our embrace, I saw that she had brought Sunset along as well. She was sitting on the hood of Silver's older truck. "So, ready for tonight?" She said as she led me to her car, our hands clasped tight. "I see Sunset is coming with, so it must be good." "House party. Boyfriend's hosting one and it's starting in an hour, enough time to get you changed, get some food, and head there to get 'on our ass drunk' Sunset announced as she jumped off the hood. "Sounds good to me." I sat in the backseat, expecting the girls to sit in the front, only to see Silver crawl on the other side of the old pickup. "Hey, loverboy!" She said as she tackled me, and shoved her tongue down my throat. I felt her hand on her side and the sounds of her keys coming out. "Here, Sunset!" She said as she held them up for Sunset to take, before continuing our makeout session. As Sunset peeled out of the parking lot and towards my house, I couldn't help to thank her mentally for everything, because she was a blessing in disguise, since if it wasn't for her I probably wouldn't of had an amazing girl like Silver Mist as my girlfriend.
