"Damn it, Toms!"

Purpled and Shroud were sitting at the edge of a pond, in the middle of the forest, shoes and socks off and set aside, dipping their toes in the room-temperature water. There were flowers and weeds all around them. They were phenomenal. Purpled picked a dandelion and put it in Shroud's hair.

Shroud gasps lightly.

"Thanks, papa!" He says, excitedly. Purpled chuckled as he had seen how curious Shroud was to be outside. Shroud didn't know anything about nature, despite being part spider and all that. Tommy, panicked, runs through the trees surrounding the large pond. Purpled had turned back to see his best friend, another very handsome blonde.

"Where were you guys?! I was worried sick!" Tommy says, out of breath.

"I didn't send you the message?!" Purpled replies, taking out his phone to check if he had sent a message to Tommy that he and Shroud would be out for the day. The message was still in the little box, unsent, and untouched.

"Ouuhhh... Uhm.." The blonde in a purple hoodie says, nervously.

"You didn't press send, did you?" Tommy crosses his arms.

"Yeeeaaaahhhh...." Purpled chuckles nervously. Tommy sighs as his favorite blonde puts his phone in the backpack Shroud was wearing. The blue-eyed boy giggles, as he could easily push his best friend into the "not-too-deep" pond.

"What're you laughing about?.."  Purpled seems suspicious of Tommy. Each time he giggles, he causes trouble.

"Nothiinggg!..." Tommy lies, pushing his eyes to the corner.

"You're up to something.."

"No, I'm-" Before Tommy could finish his sentence, he pushes Grayson into the shallow pond.

"Damn it, Toms!" Shroud and Tommy giggle quietly as Purpled struggles to get out of the pond.

"Would it kill you to help me!?" Purpled reaches out a hand to Tom and he grabs it, pulling him up and out of the pond. The drenched blonde chases the other. The spider watches the two boys being childish. He chuckles softly. The ice cream truck tune fades into Shroud's hearing.

"Papa! Dad! Come back!" Shroud yells quietly. Tommy heads towards Shroud, Purpled follows along. The drenched boy shakes himself, kind of like a dog drying itself. Tommy shields himself with his arms.

"Gray! Jeez! I would like a warning next time, thanks!" Tom was upset.

"Well I'm sorry that I was pushed into a freaking pond!" He replies, sarcastically.

"Dad, papa! The ice cream truck is here, can we get ice cream, pleaaaaseee?"

"How could we say no to that smile?" Tommy chuckles.

"You guys go get ice cream, I'm gonna change. I knew you were gonna push me anyway, Toms. Give me your backpack real quick, Shroud."

"Okay, papa!" Shroud replies, impatiently. He takes off the backpack from his back and hands it to Grayson. He grabs his extra pair of clothes and hands Shroud back his bag.

"I'll just leave it here, papa. I don't need it." He smiles. Purpled nods and walks over to a small corner of the forest and changes clothes. Tommy and Shroud get some ice cream from the ice cream truck. Tommy gets extra napkins. They come back to the woods, meeting Purpled again.

"You got an ice cream too, Toms?"

"Yep."

"You get extra napkins for yourself?"

"What! No! They're for Shroud!"

"Mhm. You're gonna need them."

"I'll prove I'm not a messy eater."

"Okay.."

Thomas opens his ice cream and licks it. He had already dropped some ice cream on his lap.

"Damn it!" Purpled bursts into an outrage of laughter.

"HAHAHAHA! YOU ALREADY GOT SOME ON YOUR LAP!" He makes fun of Tommy.

"Stop laughing!" Tom replies, angrily, while grabbing a napkin and wiping the melting ice cream off of his lap. Finishing their ice creams, Shroud had not used any napkins, while Tommy on the other hand, had used seven. Purpled had tried to hold back his laughter, but he just couldn't. He laughed so hard.
