 [there was a sound like the journal being flung open suddenly]

hello?! Faye? Dave and Grell? What happened....

[he was freaked out for a second, trying to recall what happened and why he was laying alone on a beach and feeling like he was or had been in danger. Then it all came back]

Oh yeah. Um guys, it's Thash...

Comments

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye playfully winked at him and kicked her legs a little harder in return*

Oh really? Then you're going to have to get me into the water first...

*She really didn't think she'd enjoy the slides...but if it was what he wanted she'd go for it*

[crankyshark]

[he just wanted to see her reaction to one...if she accidentally had fun, maybe she'd want more. If she didn't like it, at least he'd see a cute pouty face similar to the one she was making now with the wrinkled nose]

Oh, I don't think that'll be a problem heheh...

[he got out of the pool, his skin looking much better now that it was soft and moist again. He proceeded to pick her up from her lounging chair]

[myfayevalentine]

*When he got out of the pool, Faye was far too interested in looking at his skin to notice what he was doing. She giggled when he picked her up, happily moving her arms around his neck*

Ooh, you really do seem much better...

[crankyshark]

Yeah, I feel much better!

[an he jumped back into the pool with her in his arms]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye squealed out loudly, but very happily, closing her eyes against the splash of the water*

Well, looks like I'm in the water now.

[crankyshark]

Looks like it [he laughed a bit, releasing her slowly]

But it's okay right? Cuz I love getting you wet...

[could that be an...intentional innuendo?!]

[myfayevalentine]

*As he made that comment, Faye froze for a second and flushed almost as red as her bikini*

Thash!

*They were in a public place after all, kids about too. But Faye laughed and rolled her eyes, giving his shoulder a playful shove*

[crankyshark]

[he blinked a bit] what?

You're pretty when you're wet, and swimming with you is fun

[false alarm, apparently]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye stared at him and arched a brow just to be sure he wasn't messing her around. Then she chuckled at the misunderstanding, and leaned forward to give him a smiling kiss on the lips*

Yeah, yeah. I get it. Thank you.

[crankyshark]

[he kissed her back happily] so... Which slide looks the least traumatizing to you?

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye looked around and pointed a slide for little kids that was shaped like a crocodile*

I'd say that one, but I don't think my hips will fit. So...how about that one?

*She pointed up at a bigger slide that young teenagers seemed to be enjoying*

[crankyshark]

Hahah, I think you can handle one a little more exciting than that...

[when she pointed at the second one, he nodded]

Yeah, that's more like it. Let's go get in line. [which was pretty short, fortunately]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye followed on behind him, and when they stood in line she put a hand out on his waist*

So how exactly does this work?

[crankyshark]

Well, you just...sit down and let the water take you. You don't have water slides on the planets in space?

[myfayevalentine]

If we have, I've never been on one.

*She looked beyond Thash to where people were going down the slide, some of them screaming quietly on their way down*

Hmm...I hope this thing doesn't give me too many bruises...

[crankyshark]

[he blinked a bit]

Bruises? You shouldn't get any bruises at all, what do you mean?

[myfayevalentine]

What if my arms and legs get knocked at the sides of the slide? That's hardly very attractive...

*But then Thash was next in line, so Faye moved up the queue anxiously, her hand still on his hip*

[crankyshark]

You just keep em in close to your body and they'll be fine. It's safe...here, I'll go first to show you

[he sat on the slide, smiled back at her, then slid down. At the bottom he waved at her to show he was fine]

See? It's fun!

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye copied what Thash had done, then sent herself down the slide. She wasn't exactly thrilled about it at first, but when she reached the bottom, she had at least had a smile of sorts on her face*

Hmm... That was okay. But not as exciting as I thought. Can we try that one?

*She pointed towards one that was definitely more thrilling-looking than the one they'd just been on*

[crankyshark]

[he turned to her with a grin] oh you wanna try that one? Sure...

[he was just happy she enjoyed them afterall. Maybe her could get her to go in the tallest one in the park later... It was probably the only real exciting one for him since he'd ridden todal waves that dwarfed most of these slides]

[myfayevalentine]

Okay. Let's go.

*This time, Faye led Thash up towards the queue, which wasn't too long, but had a few more nervous looking people in it. She watched as a couple entered the slide together, and she turned to him*

Can we do it together?

[crankyshark]

Sure, that sounds fun. [he smiled confidently]

[myfayevalentine]

*So when it was their turn, Faye sat down comfortably, then glanced over her shoulder, waiting for Thash to join her, so they could go down the slide together*

[crankyshark]

[He sat next to her and put an arm around her] ready? Let's go!

[he pushed off and down they went, with considerably more speed than the last one]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye screamed out, caught unawares by Thash pushing them off so fast. But then she laughed, leaning back against him as she enjoyed the ride down*
