Terren looked back at Michella. He walked deeper into the lake as well, but not in her direction. The dropoff was only a few feet in front of her. "How's everything going with you?" he aske Arlaye, "Coffee machines well stocked? Any chipped counters?" He smiled, thinking back to the odd way they'd met.

Arlaye grinned and edged after Michella, hands on her hips. "Michella, is this true?" she asked, eyebrows raised. "I hope you aren't harrassing this young man," she added, shaking her head slowly with a mock-stern expression. "Coffee machine's good thanks, Terren!" she replied, thankful to finally remember his name. "And don't worry about her, I'll sort her out," she added, in a whisper louder than enough for Michella to hear.

"Oh, no you wont. You have to catch me first!" Michella yelled out to her and looked at how far out she was in the water. It barely touched her neck. Maybe she was getting out to far. She made her way back a little shallower that she just was and started to pretend to run in the water. "TErren, Help me... YOu can't let her get me. I promise I won't follow you anymore" She said playfully as she still trudged in the water, her arms were still level with the water's surface.

"Hey, you're on your own," Terren said, "after all the stuff you did in the Danger Room, I'm pretty sure you can handle yourself." He hadn't noticed he still had his vest on, so he took it off, dried it, then threw it on the shore. He layed back in the water and started to backstroke. He looked up at the sun. It was really bright. Sunddenly, it got a bit darker, just enough to be comfortable.

Michella gapped open her mouth hearing that she was on her own. SHe gave Arlaye a smile and shrugged her shoulders. Should she water run? She didn't want to have to go further out, risking deep water, but if she went to shallow, Arlaye would probably dunk her. No win situation. "Alright, I give up... I'm all yours." She said making her arms go up in the water and she fell backwards letting the water take up her form and she disappeared under the waters, and took a few seconds before coming back up wiping the water from her face.

"Hee, hee..." Arlaye ducked under the water and disappeared, melting into the lake itself. Not a trace remained to be seen - even her shoes were gone. She was quite literally in her own element. Nothing in the lake escaped her notice now - in fact, there were a couple of other people not far off who she hadn't noticed before. She couldn't see them in this state, but she could sense the vibrations they made in the water. Snickering inwardly, she re-formed right behind Michella and snatched at her ankles.

Michella let out a scream feeling something grabbing her ankles and jumped in the water. Making a comotion, she hurridly tried to make it back to the shallow part quickly, her body making waves as she bobbed up and down trying to get away from whoever that was. "That's not fair... That's cheating..." She called out still unable to see her silent attacker. She looked over at Terren. It wasn't him, or Alicia. Wasnt' Arlaye just on the start of the water?

A girl walked twoard the lake. She shook the sand from her shoes as she approached and stopped at the edge of the water with her hands on her hips. She looked around at all the people in there, searching for that one familiar face. After scanning the water for a moment, her eyes stopped on Terren. A smile spread across her face. "Terren!" she yelled, running into the water. ___________________________ Terren was caught off guard as a girl suddenly ran into the water, yelling his name. She looked and sounded so familiar. Could she be? No, it couldn't be. He tried to say something, but the girl suddenly threw her arms around him, hugging him very tightly, talking very quickly about how she'd been looking for him. He just stood for a moment, then managed to stop her for a few seconds. It had to be... He pulled her back from him. "Nora?!" he said. His face conveyed fully the shocked state he was in. The girl smiled again and hugged him one more time.

Letting go of Michella's kicking feet, Arlaye surfaced in a fit of giggles. "Didn't know bout that wee trick, eh?" she said with a cheeky grin, before bursting into a bad imitation of evil laughter. "Mu ha ha ha haa!" she said, tapping her fingertips together with a fake malicious expression. Suddenly she was distracted by the sight of someone running into the water. "Who's that over there? C'mon, let's go!" she said, trying to drag Michella after her.

Michella quickly lost track of what was going on with her and the water person (no pun intended, I think?) when she heard a females voice call out Terren's name. Who was this girl and why was she hugging him. Did Terren forget to tell her something? She seemed awfully happy to see him and to her thoughts, she didn't know who she was. 'What's going on...' Confused she thought, 'Who is that?'

"I will fly you to the moon and back, if you'll be....if you'll be my baby..Got a ticket for a world where we belong..So will you be my baby? yeahh..." Alicia sung mostly under her breath while she floated in the cool lake. She concentrated on the feeling of having no weight, no worries, and the warmth of the sun on her skin. She knew that later she would regret not having sunscreen on, but she would cross that bridge when she got there. She slowly did a backstroke and ended up near the middle of the lake. She leaned forward to wade in the water. She scanned the lake, seeing Vanden, she smiled. She also saw Terren and Michella, until Michella went under the water. 'Looks like they are having fun.' She thought, with no feeling at all. She had gone from stress, to happiness, to completely neutral. It was a state she went to when her body and mind couldnt stand any more emotion. She sighed, thought of Vanden, smiled, then began to swim closer to the shore as she saw a girl run into the water and embrace Terren.

"It's been a long time," Nora siad, "I'm just so happy to see you again." She didn't want to let him go. She had already lost him once and she didn't want to do it again. "Never leave me like that again," she said, "ever!" She smiled and looked back at Michella and Arlaye. "Hey," she said, still hugging Terren. _______________________ "But how did you..." Terren started, "I mean... I thought I..." Terren couldn't get the sentence out. Terren looked back at Michella and suddenly realized that this must have looked strange. "Oh," he said, turning, still holding onto Nora, "this is my sister Nora..." He paused. "It's a really long story."

"Ah, you're Terren's sister?" Arlaye said, splashing to a stop. Now that she could remember Terren's name, she would take every opportunity to prove it. Extending an arm, she offered Nora a rather damp handshake. "I'm Arlaye," she said, smiling amiably.

Michella still was stricken with the thought that he might have had a girlfriend all this time, but he cleared it up with saying it was his sister. He had a sister? "Oh..." Michella really didn't bother to come to close to them, because they were further out in the water, but also, because she felt bad for doughting him at all. 'I should have known... He wouldn't do that.' She thought to herself and slowly spun herself around in the water and watched as Arlaye went over to them offering a hand to Norma. Michella looked out in the deeper part of the lake and saw a person out there floating. If only she wasn't scared of the deep water, she'd swim out to her. She waded out further into the deeper part back where she was a few minutes ago without realizing it.

Nora finally let go of Terren to shake Arlaye's hand. "I'm Nora," she said, then remembering that Terren had already said it, "But you knew that already. Ugh." She blushed and looked down at the water. She turned to Michella, who looked a bit shocked for some reason. "And you are?" Nora asked, "I want to get to know all of Terren's friends." She smiled. "And I want to know everything he's been doing," she said, looking back at him suspiciously.
