Forever Across Seven Seas (Finntaine)

I Can Swim

Maddy POV:

I should not have agreed to this. I'm not meant to be in the air.

*flashback, 20mins earlier*

"Awwwww, c'mon Mad's, it will be fun." Ant whined.

"Ant that's terrifying!"

"Why don't you want to?"

"Because I can swim... not fly."

"For me? Just this once? Please Mad's!"

"You owe me."

*end flashback*

So here we are, in a plane about the island, about to throw ourselves out.

"Almost above the drop-zone." The pilot said over the radio. 

I was strapped to a professional, Ant was on his own. My guy started to edge towards the door, Ant following us. I closed my eyes, I hate hate hate heights!

"Jumping in 3, 2, 1." Then we rolled out of the plane, into the open air. I don't scream when I'm scared, so I'm currently frozen, in mid-air, falling.

"Ant! You little b*tch!" I shout.

"Parachute in 3, 2." The little b*tch of an instructor pulled it on 2! What the hell man?!

The parachute goes out and catches on the wind with a tremendous pull, slightly pulling us up, and slowing our falling.

I finally have time to properly open my eyes, I can see right over the island and miles out to sea. It's actually kind of pretty. No it is really pretty.

Ant POV:

I knew that she would eventually like it. The views are amazing, and it feels so cool to just float. Even in her sky-diving gear, which makes anyone look hilarious, she still looks amazing. She got me to braid her hair, I think that the instructor is happy about that, or he would be getting a face full of hair.

"Coming in  to land." he says.

I see Maddy's eyes go wide, this was the other part she was scared of. I've sky-dived 3 times now, and I still hate landing. I see the big red target on the ground, and wind my-self up to land in it. Maddy and the instructor are heavier than just me, so they are going to reach the target first. Mad's looks terrified, I'm gonna be in trouble for this, I begin to laugh, which may make it worse, but it's still funny.

Mad's and the instructor hit the ground and slide to a stop. Oh no, now it's my turn. I hit the ground, and slide  to perfectly land on the bulls-eye of the target. 

"Mr. Show-off?" Maddy shouts as she gets unstrapped.

"Or am I just Mr. Perfect?" I laugh back. She looks up, as if deep in thought.

"Are you?" She says, now standing up. I've already unstrapped myself.

"Oi you!" I say running at her.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" She runs away from me, towards the villas. I catch her and pin her down in the sand.

"Tickles?" I ask, and begin to tickle her.

"Noooooooooooo! Ant! Stop! Please!" She says, wriggling around and laughing.

"That's Mr. Perfect to you, young miss."

"Oh, my apologies sir." She says with a 'proper' accent. I stand up and throw her over my shoulder, then begin to walk to the water.
