"Come on!"

"No. Absolutely not."

"For the views! It's not that bad, I promise." He held out the paddle to me with a hopeful expression. I sighed and took it from his hand.

"You probably won't die," Lani commented half heartedly from beside me. I flipped around to face her and she laughed, taking a step back to reposition the camera.

"The water's cold, though," Tubbo chirped, "Try not to fall in! Come on!" He grabbed the paddle board and dragged it to the water's edge, rolling up his pant legs to follow the board into the water.

"The things I agree to," I muttered under my breath, following him. We were in England, by the ocean I had only seen in his streams before.

Now, here I was, being streamed to hundreds of thousands of viewers as I awaited my demise by paddle board.

"Oh, god, it's cold!" I exclaimed, dipping my foot in the seawater. Tubbo was a few steps away, in knee deep water, holding the floating board in place. I held the paddle over my head as I waded over to him.

"Now you have to climb on," he told me, "But try not to tip the board over." I nodded and awkwardly lifted my left leg over the other side of the board, almost falling backwards into the water.

Eventually, I was finally balanced and floating on the board, sitting on my knees. Tubbo quickly hoisted himself up onto the board after me and was settled in a few seconds.

"How did you do that so fast?" I asked him in exasperation. I was already exhausted and we had only been in the water for a few minutes.

"Practice, I've been using this for years," he replied with a smile. He dipped the paddle into the water and began rowing us into deeper water.

"How deep is the water? I can't see the bottom anymore," I asked him, glancing over the side, "Please don't go too far from shore. I bet Lani can barely zoom in on us enough already."

"You can swim, can't you?" He noted confidently, "But don't worry, I won't go too far. The water's about chest high now." The paddle board turned so that I could see the shore without looking behind me. I spotted Lani near the edge, following us with the camera.

"Why would we go paddle boarding when the water's cold?" I sighed, dipping my hand in the water.

"It's not too bad," Tubbo responded, shrugging, "Want to have a go?" He lifted the paddle and held it out to me.

"Fine." I took the paddle and slowly lifted myself so I was balanced only on my knees. Then I pushed the paddle into the water and felt it hit the ocean floor as I propelled the board forward.

"So how are you liking England?" Tubbo asked me.

"It's fine," I replied with a shrug, "I came here for the clout, anyway. And possibly for you as well." Tubbo laughed, and the paddle board teetered precariously.

"Careful!" I exclaimed, "You're going to make me fall!" He smiled mischievously and rocked the boat harder back and forth. I yelled loudly and dropped the paddle in the water, grabbing the sides to balance myself.
