> Splash Zone > by Chelis > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You know what's worse than taking a public bus? Taking one during a warm summer morning and having the air conditioning be nonexistent, the smell of cigarettes and body order being nearly unbearable, and to top it all off, a mother with five crying and screaming children that did not care to change her youngest child's diaper. So add in the smell of shit to the mix and you have your average day in mass transit. At least that one special girl was occupying my mind and fingers. The whole morning I was sending texts back and forth with this one cute girl from school by the name of Silver Mist. Oh, Silver Mist. She occupied my thoughts most hours. Her gray skin and white hair stood out compared to everyone herself, her cute farmer's daughter accent was pleasing to my ears, and that body! The number of lewd things I would do to her and that body... It took me a lot of courage to come up and talk to her, even if she was by herself since she arrived into town about a week and a half ago. Canterlot High was not one where new friendships could be made, since everyone stuck to their own groups and, more importantly, stayed away out of the queen bitches’ way. But when I started we clicked, and eventually, she asked me if I worked as well as attended our junior class in high school. As a matter of fact, I did, a year-round water park that was the first of its kind to include heated water during the winter months. She jokingly asked if she could go with me sometime. Joke or not, I requested time off, called in a few favors, and now it lead me to taking the bus for a full day at my workplace to enjoy the park for once, and to get to know that new girl. It felt weird getting off the bus in front of the water park's parking lot without any work clothes on, or to have the backstage lanyard around my neck. But here I was as the park opened its doors. The line was long and stretched to the parking lot, but, knowing the employee entrance code, I snuck in through a side door and immediately came out behind an ice cream shop which hid the entrance from the public. So all I had to do was walk to my right instead of my left and I blended in with the rest of the crowd. Managers and employees did that on their days off, so no harm no foul. As I walked to my cabana by the wave pool, I was stopped by many of my coworkers with hellos and "How the hell did you talk your way out of a rush day?!" I usually replied with a shrug and just said I just got lucky, which what basically happened. I rarely took a day off, so if I asked for one, it had to be a good reason Or she was really worth it. I arrived at the cabana, which was on top of a sandy hill that overlooked the giant wave pool that took up a quarter of the park. The cabana I rented also included the snacks and sodas package, so a wide array of bag chips and a white ice chest full of sodas and water were waiting for me, I threw my bag next to my lounge chair and laid down, looking at the families starting their fun-filled day at the water park. The heat was already toasty and was planning to get hotter. The cabana also had a radio. I turned on my favorite station, popped open a cold soda, and waited for her to arrive. Yeah, she is going to love this place. * * * I kept on staring at my watch, which is always bad when you are waiting for something because it would feel longer than it already was.Five minutes, or ten minutes, or even thirty minutes. Wait, no… It didn't feel that long. It was that long of a wait. She was thirty minutes late, and by then I began to panic, especially with the realization if she had flaked out of our first hangout together, which made it worse when I would have to explain to my coworkers and friends why I had an extra spot in the cabana for myself. It's never polite to call a date if they're late, but I had to call and find out. Just as I did my phone came alive and vibrated, and my dark screen lit up. It was from Silver. "Hey! Sorry I was running late, dude. Also, is it okay if I brought a friend with me?" I froze in emotion. I didn't know what to say. When a date asks to bring someone over, it puts you in a bad spot: it could be a guy, which means rivalry, so I can't be a dick and have a bad impression, even if he was trying to steal her. But if it was a girl, it could play to my advantage or disadvantage…. Or it could end with both of them going back to my place for some… threesome and chill. But again, it could be a guy. If she told me sooner it would be easier to say no. But, it was a last minute affair so I was stuck. If the guy was cool enough, he would understand and fuck off for the rest of the day…. Fuck it. I unlocked my phone and began to type Yeah! Sounds like the three of us are going to have a great day then! I pressed send, but It didn't stop my heart from beating hard and my mind racing. That sounded stupid! That was a stupid text! As I waited for her and her 'friend' to show up, my mind was racing about who it could be. It could be ANYONE from Canterlot High. Those five girls that I thought were probably all lesbians, especially that rainbow haired one. It could be the jocks looking for their latest piece of meat. Who can it be? Who can it be! I watched the early birds continue their fun at the beach while I drowned myself in worry. I began having the snacks and sodas to try to calm myself down, but it didn't help. I ended up pacing the cabana, the cool sand kicking in the air as I paced in worry. That's when I heard the voices, two of them. One voice made my heart skip, the high pitch, mousey voice was none other than Silver Mist, while the other filled me with absolute dread. Good news, it was a girl. The bad news... Of all the girls at Canterlot High, it was the one I wanted here the least. I went outside of the cool shade of the white cabana and saw them arrive. They were both in two pieces, and extremely attractive. One looked like an angel, and her name was Silver Mist The other--a bonafide, undisputed devil. Her name was Sunset Shimmer. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “You must be Silver Mist's friend! She was talking about you on the way here!" Sunset said with a smile and a hand on her hip. I felt as if I was the mouse trapped in the paws of a cat, feeling as if the cat was just trying to be friendly. I was expecting the fangs to come down at any time. Sunset was the queen tigress of Canterlot High, and a malevolent one at that. "Y-yeah." I stuttered, preparing to flinch in case Sunset had something planned. Still… God damn do they look good in those bikinis. Silver Mist looked on, a light tinge of blush on her face. She knew I was checking her out. "So, what did you get us? Oh, even I'm impressed," Sunset observed as she walked past me and into the cabana. Silver and I awkwardly stared at each other as we heard what Sunset was doing inside. I heard the sound of the plastic recliner groan under her weight (they were really cheap chairs too, so they would have done the same to any weight), then the sound of a bag of chips opening and the fizzing sound of a soda can being opened. She was getting pretty comfy in there, all right. The music then changed from the pop station to the heavy metal one, which snapped Silver and me of our awkward hypnotic gaze. "Thanks again for inviting me, it was really nice of you," Silver thanked me. "N-no problem. Thank you for coming and-" The conversation was interrupted by the sound of the music being turned all the way up. We covered our ears and laughed at each other awkwardly. "Hey! So want to hang out by the beach!?" I asked. "What!?" she yelled back. "Hang out where it's quieter!" "What!?" She yelled back. "Want to-" I hollered. "I'm messing with you!" She laughed, "Let's go!" We walked down to the manmade beach, our feet disappearing in it’s warm sands . The air was warming up and the full summer day was starting to reveal itself, with the mothers who chose to read a good book or socialize amongst themselves and let their children play in the water, looking out for their children when they weren’t ogling the young, oiled up, muscular lifeguard that I knew well. We would both look at each other, giggle, and look away. Every time I saw her, my heart skipped a beat. She made me feel weird, in that 'I want her to be my girl' way. We stopped at that small strip of the manmade beach where the water met the land. Each wave would wash over our feet to our ankles. We stood and enjoyed the conflicting warm body and cool feet feel. We looked at each other again and blushed. "So how did Sunset convince you to take her with you?" I asked, trying to sneak a quick look at her body. "Well, I was having a conversation with the counselor; helping me adjust to Canterlot High. I guess Sunset overheard and asked me while I was alone. She is a nice girl, but a bit pushy though." Just a bit? "Didn't know they had the counselors help people adjust to our school," I asked. "Yeah, you know I wasn't all friendliness. I had a boyfriend back home, but we had to break up before the move," She answered with a wry smile. Single? Oh yes. "Funny thing, the first time we hung out was at a water park too," She added. "Funny how history repeats itself," I replied. "I guess. Still, Neighbraska had its own charm to it, even if it was just cornfields and meth addicts," She said as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the quick gust. "How about you?" "Me?” I asked. "Yeah, who is your girlfriend and why am I jealous of your generosity?" "Well," I said as I ran a hand through my hair, "Truth is, I don't have a girlfriend," I answered. "What?! No way! Get outta here!" Silver hollered. "It's true!" I replied. "C'mon. You seem better than some of the guys at CHS." "You think?" "Yeah! Most of the guys at the school wouldn’t do this if they were expecting to screw afterward," she commented. Well, so much for hitting home of the first date. "Pfft! Lame!" "Yeah, you at least impress me enough to entice me to bed, geez," She said. "Oh?" She laughed, "Okay, maybe talking about sex on our first hangout wasn’t the best idea!" "I don't mind, I can talk about it all day!" I joked. She giggled, "Oh, of course, you can." "Want to test me?" I winked "Another time, when there're no kids around. Promise." She winked back. "Deal. What do you think of this place?" I asked. "You mean the park?" she asked. "Yeah." "You're still reeling from the last topic huh," She joked. "What?! N-no!" I stuttered. She laughed, "You totally are. It's alright, you're not the only one who got excited over it," She winked Oh, this little flirt. We both giggled, still trying to laugh through our nervousness but the sex talk was one fast start to getting to know each other. She sat on the ground and allowed the waves to hit her, splashing her every so often below her neck. She took a content sigh when each wave splashed on her body. I turned towards the cabana to check on Sunset. I expected it to be burning and spreading flames through the park by her impulsive need to destroy. However; the music was left on, but the she-demon was missing from her seat. "Huh, Sunset is gone." I noticed. "Really?" She said as she turned around. "Yeah. Guess we can chill there?" I asked. "Yeah, I want to get something to drink. Once I towel off, want to put sunscreen on my back?" Silver Mist asked. My heart skipped a beat. "R-really?!" "Sure! It would be nice for you to do that for me, friend!" she winked. "Oh, just a friend?" I answered back. "Hey, we all have to start somewhere." She whispered in my ear as she walked to the cabana, her round bottom bouncing with each step. Whatever I just got myself into, I want to thank whoever is up there for it. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We didn't talk much once we went back to the cabana, but the date was going well, at least in my opinion, anyway. We were watching the children and families play on the man-made beach and heard the distant cries of cheers and fear of the people going through the water slides. The sun was overhead and blasting its heat on the park, but it never bothered us as we were sitting on the lounge chairs underneath the cabana. The radio was playing a happy summer tune and a cooling breeze was coming through the cabana. It was bliss. "So... Do you know where Sunset Shimmer may have run off too?" Silver Mist asked. "Somewhere far from here, I hope," I said dismissively "Oh come on, she can’t be all that bad." Silver commented. I chuckled and turned my head to her, "You'll find out in due time." Turned out it didn't have to take that long. We heard some commotion behind us, the sounds of laughter and the cheers of children to go along with it. "You hear that?" I asked as I got out of my lounge chair. "You mean the kids screaming? I think that's called 'having fun,'" she answered sarcastically. "More than usual," I replied. I turned to the corner of the cabana, and my heart sank. In the entrance of the park stood a giant generic stone water fountain that was the center of all the souvenir shops, food stalls, and the offices for the park. Usually, it would be water that flowed off the fountain and into the collecting pool below. That time it wasn't water It was soap. By the time I realized it, Silver was right behind me, her body pressed up against my back trying to see what was going on. It felt heavenly. But, I knew I had to go, seeing how I was still an employee of the park. I raced over, with Silver on my tail. By the time I arrived, my coworkers were already getting the park goers to get back. They were quick in trying to turn off the water to the fountain, the valve difficult to find since the base of the fountain was completely covered by the suds "It’s gonna take hours to clean up!" The Manager croaked. She was looking around, trying to find anyone, an idle worker, someone on break, the damned accountant: anyone able to clean up the mess and get the crowds moving. Silver was in front of me, and with another person in the way, I hid from the managers sight, knowing for sure that if she caught me, my day with Silver would end for sure. I would get double pay but in this instance, I'd rather hang with Silver Mist than with my coworkers. My skin began to crawl and my hair went straight up. I knew something bad was going to happen. The manager didn't see me, neither did my coworkers, so something nefarious, downright evil had its malevolent sights on me, waiting for me to… "What did I miss?" Sunset Shimmer asked, standing right behind me. I jumped back, nearly hitting the older, hairier shirtless man drenched in sweat. "Oh! Someone soaped the fountain!" Silver Mist announced. "Really?" Who would do something like that?" Sunset wondered out loud. We watched as my coworkers continued to work to get the situation under control. "Well, if anyone needs me I'm going to be at the cabana." Sunset said. "See ya!" I had my suspicions that she was behind it. Not by hard evidence or curcumestancian evidence, but a hunch. There's also the thing where everyone at school blamed Sunset Shimmer whenever something went wrong. But I realize that I had clear evidence when Sunset gave me a pat on the shoulder, a 'see you there' tap. Her hands were slippery, and I knew. That bitch. * * * We walked back to the cabana, and it was a good idea since the heat was starting to set in. We were sweating in the shelter, but it was better than being exposed to the direct sunlight. We each were laying in a lounge chair, the view of the beach still there. The music was playing and we had a soda in our hands. I knew I made the right choice in this, even if the catch was Sunset-fucking-Shimmer. Her hands felt slippery when she patted my back earlier, like soap. I could have grilled her and risk a fist to the face or get her removed from the park and continuing the date with Silver with no intentional fuck ups. "So where did you go, Sunset?" I asked. "What do you mean?" She answered. "You were gone during the soaping," I said. "Yea, I went to take a piss." she replied. "Uh huh, Sure." "You don't believe me?" she asked. She had the fakest smile, but her eyes said it all. She wanted to stab me in the dick. Silver Mist ignored the entire exchange of glares and was interested in the map of the park. All those different slides, all those attractions for anyone to enjoy. That was the beauty of the place: all kinds of stuff to do for the families. "You know what I have my eye on? The Tubing Ride. Want to go?" Silver asked. "Sure!" I answered. She jumped up, reached over and grabbed my wrist. She started pulling me up, and I was mesmerized by her smile and body. My heart skipped a beat when she grabbed my wrist. Honestly, I wanted to hold her in my arms and never let go. Her in a bikini didn't help either. As we got up, so did Sunset. She finished her drink and tossed the aluminum can to an empty corner. "Where are you going?" Silver asked. "I'm gonna chat up that cute lifeguard on the lifeguard tower," Sunset announced. I took a glance at him and knew who he was instantaneous. "He is gay, you know," I told her. "Like that's going to stop me," she said, swaying her hips with a bit more attitude. I'll admit, for complete bitch, she did have a nice ass. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What was with you back there?" Silver asked as we were in line for the river tube. "Oh, that?" I asked. "Yea, you guys seemed hostile. Kinda killed the mood," She commented. I still had to remind myself that Silver Mist was new, and I bet no one told her of the infamy which was Sunset motherfucking Shimmer. She was completely innocent about what went on at school, and it was adorable. Seriously, I felt the oncoming glee of letting her know of the school drama and the who's who of our perfect little brick and mortar madhouse called Canterlot High. I also felt the glee of being behind her in line, taking a quick peek at her bottom every so often. We waited for an hour or so in line, but us talking made the time melt away. When it was our turn, we were faced with a dilemma: there was only one inner tube left, the other attendant for the ride was heading back to grab the other rings. "We can always just share a tube," I meekly suggested. She didn't even have a thought to it. "Sure!" "Really? I was joking and…" "Why not?! I mean we are all adults here, right?" "I guess?" "Then it's settled! Hey, attendant dude! we will take that last tube!" The attendant recognized me and smirked. I knew I was in for a barrage of questions when I started my next shift tomorrow. But, for Silver, it would be all worth it. The current where people got on their tubes for the lazy river was the slowest part of the ride, which gave us space and time to get adjusted. "Well, get on!" She shouted. It felt awkward to sit on the inner tube with her holding on to it. I felt the cool water trickling past by bottom as I waited for her to get on, which I immediately regretted because she elected to jump on me instead of positioning herself slowly, her bottom pressing hard against my hip, and sucking the air out of my lungs. "Too much?" she asked as she heard my small gasp for air. "Na, you're fine," I said. The first issue was the fact her body was pressing against mine, which meant the loathed awkward boner trope was going to come like a storm of spaghetti. I was able to fight it off by looking away, watching the cheap, fake plants and animatronic animals that made up the "jungle cruise" theme to the ride. My hands were hanging off the tube and in the water, but that didn't last long. Silver grabbed my hands and wrapped it around her. My hands were over her bottom bikini and my upper arms pressing against her breasts. No! No! No! "Isn't this nice?" Silver asked, the sun blocked by the passing fake canopy trees. "Y-yea." "And you have your hands at my no-no places! You dirty boy!" "T-that was you!" I hollered. "Calm your tits, I'm just yanking your chain," she replied. "Oh, and don't worry about the boner: it won't gross me out," She said with a laugh. "Besides, I know you want to fuck me, right?" I wanted to scream, in fact, a scream was heard. But it didn't come from me, it came from a girl farther down the ride. Then more and more high pitched wails were heard. When we turned the corner, we realized what they were dealing with: a mannequin was moved to a spot over a fake wooden bridge with a plastic tube attached to it. the tube was yellow, as supposed to a clear tube that meant water. "It's piss!" someone cried out. oh shit. "W-what do we do?" Silver mist asked. "We will have to swim around it!" I ordered. "How?" "Turn around and start paddling!" She flipped herself over, our bodies pressing against each other. It would have been hot, but we had a stream of piss to avoid. We kept paddling, trying to avoid the steam. "Paddle faster!" She barked. "I'm trying!" "Hey! if we have to shower because of this, want to do it together?" "Really!? Now?!" I hollered. "I'm trying to make light of a PISSY situation!" "God dammit, Silver," I said. She laughed as she continued to paddle, trying to move to the side. The stream was getting closer, with our efforts being fruitless. "This isn't working!" She observed. "Yea, this is going to suck!" I replied. "Desperate times and all that! Get on top of me!" She commented. "What!" "Stop questioning and do it! You're stronger and all that!" "Really?! the farm girl doesn't have any strength?! I'm legit surprised!" "I'm a farmer's daughter, not a fucking farmer! Don't you know the fucking difference?!" "Really? I thought you being a farmer you would have strength, our resident farmer does." "You have a farmer as a classmate?" "Yep! Her name is Applejack." "Can you introduce me to her?" she asked "Of course!" "Thank you! Now…. Let me be bottom now! We switched around, she was below me while my body was pressed on top. It also didn't help that her legs were spread and my hips were pressed between her legs, making us look like we were… well... you know. "Paddle, dammit! Paddle!" She ordered. I did, with everything I had. We were trying to reach the edge of the ride, but the current was too strong. As I watched, a group of family members tried the same with their own tubes but ended up getting sprayed on. "Oh god the smell!" The mother cried. Oh man. "What do we do?! The current is too fast!" Silver asked. Well, time to be the martyr. I moved myself fully over her, her whole body covered. "I'll just get pissed on!" "You sure? you don't have to." "I mean, we were having this fun day, I really don't want to have it with you being pissed on," I said. "Aww, that's stupid and sweet." "Maybe you like to get pissed on too." "nope, you're right. Godspeed." I looked up and saw I was mere seconds from getting pissed on. I covered her and braced for impact. Then, I felt... Nothing. I looked up and around. By some small miracle, the stream turned off when we went under it. "What happened?" "It turned off?" "Oh good," she said. "Crisis averted?" "Yea, I guess." "Well, as much as this is arousing: can you switch back before we get kicked out for looking like we are fucking on this ride?" she asked. > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The people who were on the ride in front of us stayed a few minutes longer at the giant pool that signaled the end of the ride. The pool was probably tainted by urine way before the incident happen, so why stop at just that? Silver got off of me and held onto the tube so I could easily get off. "Well, that was... interesting," she commented. "Yeah, not every day that someone places a giant mannequin that sprays piss on riders." She laughed. By the time we got out of the pool, the park’s security was on high alert. I guess she called in more guards from the private company the park contracted because the regular security were lumped in with fresh, angry faces. For all we knew, someone had a bomb somewhere with the number of them that were scouring the park. I would have to be careful as well since the manager seeing me would for sure end my day as an attendee and possibly throw me in the suspect pool they probably had going. It has happened before where the employed or former employees would come in and cause mayhem for the sake of fun or revenge. Even with all that, I still had someone to keep my undivided attention to. "Hey Silver, want some ice cream?" I asked "Sure! But how do you have cash on-hand since we just went to a water ride?" "Not a problem! I got one of these!" I said as I pulled out a orange plastic card. "Neat! What is it?" "Basically a park credit card that you carry around with you. You won't believe how much money you can rack up by collecting these off the ground!" "I bet!" We stopped by the first ice cream stall we could find on the way back to the cabana, got ourselves a few double scoops and went on our way again. She had the rainbow sherbert and chocolate chip mint while I had the cookie dough and the cookies and cream. We were quick to eat it since it was a blistering day, and the ice cream was already dripping onto our hands. We knew Sunset was back in the cabana, seeing how we heard the loud music from a good distance away. She seemed relaxed when we went in. Even when we turned down the volume, she still looked like nothing could bring her down. "So, what did I miss?" She asked as she laid eyes-closed on the lounge chair. "Well, someone rigged the ride to piss on everyone," I answered. "What?!" "Yeah, you can say it was leaking awesome!" Silver announced. Really? "Sounds like it was an interesting time!" Sunset remarked "Yeah… I have no pun for it, really." "You must be pissed," Silver mentioned. Groan. "It was weird, the damn thing turned off right before we were splashed," I noted. "Must be your lucky day," Sunset smiled. "Or it might have been rigged, someone must have known us, or had an ounce of remorse." "What are you trying to get at?" She asked suspiciously. "I don't know, it was just something I noticed," I answered. "I was hanging out with the lifeguard!" Sunset objected. The tension between us began to rise. I mean, if it wasn't where I worked, or if it wasn't a place where I knew the pain of working there, I would have not cared. It was like being a dick to a cashier right next to a person who has worked in that position before. That was the sense of solidarity through hell and it would piss you off. Yeah, I was that guy. "You know what I could go for?! Some lunch!" Silver announced. "I wouldn't mind that," I said with a smile. Sunset shrugged her shoulders. "Sure!" We ended up going to the main square, ordering an extra-large pizza with everything, and waiting there for half an hour or so. We ended up nearly falling asleep. Once we got the pizza we went back to the cabana to discover the trash was removed and our chips and drinks were restocked. Now that's what I call service! It was for the first time that day we all three of us hung out in earnest. Sunset was cute and seemed down to earth at times when she was not shit-talking everyone at school. She even had some hilariously mean things to say about her boyfriend as well. Silver and I went along with it and laughed, because with some of the things she said about the people I knew was spot on. Hours had passed, and our food had settled a long time ago, which gave Silver Mist an idea. "Want to go for a swim in the wave pool?" She asked. "Sure!" I replied. She got off her lounge chair and gently grabbed my hand. My heart skipped a beat that moment, to the point of my arm was hurting. I thought her cuteness was going to give me a literal heart attack until I realize she was dragging to get me up and had enough strength where any more and she would have disconnected my arm from its socket. We left the cabana and went into the mid-afternoon sun. The wind was starting to pick up which meant the sunset was not too far away Speaking of Sunset… I turned around to get a glimpse of her. She had a mischievous smirk to her face. It looked like the gears were spinning in her mind, and she was looking for something to mess up, and by the way she was looking, it might have had something to do with the wave pool Silver and I were about to enter. > Chapter 6 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From the beach, we slowly waded into the waves. When it's hot enough, you can just jump in the cold water and blow off the initial shock of the cold because the heat was worse. The sun was losing its punch, so we chose to slowly get into the water. We went chest deep and jumped with the waves like the rest of the beach, choosing once in awhile to dive beneath them to cool and wet our heads. I guess I was used to us holding hands since we would every time we went under. We would go down and up the wave together. It wasn't as flashy as the slides or the rides, but it still was fun. Some of the people were calling it a day, for whatever reason. What they didn't know was that the fun at this park happened at the night. "So, what are we doing afterwards?" Silver asked. "I don't know, this park starts heating the water at sundown and it keeps going until two am." "We could always find something else to do," She said "Sounds like that could work," I said beaming. "Well, what do you think we should do?" she asked. "I don't know, chill?" She sighed, "You really are hopeless." We were too busy talking to notice a bigger than usual wave come and hit us pretty well. Silver was pushed conveniently into my arms. My heart started to race, and I felt hers pound like a drum as well. She used me to slowly stand on her own, our eyes never darting away from each other. Her mouth was also open in awe. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous myself. It was always the first move that was nerve-racking, though I felt that even if I went for it, she wouldn't say no. But then again there was only one way to find out. I reached in for the kiss, and she puckered her lips to receive it. I was going really slow about it. "I'm waiting," She mumbled as her lips were still puckered. "I know, it's just…" "You were so nervous the whole day waiting for this moment that when it finally came, you literally shit the bed bed." "Yes, how did you know?" "I've been there," She giggled. "Now…" I reached in again for the kiss, and she had her lips puckered once more. Our lips met, and my heart fluttered. The moment felt endless and unforgettable. We had our arms wrapped around each other, and we held on to each other tightly. It felt like nothing could have ruined the moment Well, minus the splashing, screaming, and general chaos. We found ourselves in a middle of a stampede of wave goers running out to the beach, often crashing into their mothers on shore running into the waves to get their children out. "Shark! Shark!" They cried. We instinctively jolted to get ready to run, but I stopped "We have to go!" Silver bellowed. "No we don't," I said with a smug grin. "So ‘shark’ doesn't mean run for your fucking life?! You don't need a farmer’s daughter to tell you sharks mean ‘hurt!’" "Real sharks! Look at the fin!" I pointed. The fin was shaped like a shark’s, but it was painted aluminum riveted together. It was a bodyless animatronic from one of the shows. I looked around, trying to find where the shark's commander was posted up, and it didn't take me long. Above the wave pool was an empty platform that was once used for divers, but after some lawsuits, they made it look like a dock in a town, with plants to the side because fuck you. Anyway, I saw a figure in the bushes, and I got out of the water and took off after it. "Where are you going?!" Silver shouted. From the beach, I went through the concealed gate and ran up the steep path to the top of the wave ride. The figure saw me and took off, the setting sun concealing its identity. By the time I reached the "dock" it was long gone, or so I thought. The suspect made a mistake with the dirt it tracked into the backstage area. I followed it, the mud slowly fading until it stopped in front of a bathroom. I had a smug grin when I kicked down the door and went in. Now, when he, the writer, makes a big reveal, he always uses: "And he was shocked by who he saw." This time was different because I fucking knew full-well this whole time who I was expecting for the big reveal. Sunset mother-fucking Shimmer. > Chapter 7 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "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.
