Akali had a secret she kept fairly well hidden from the other girls. Dispite every time the girls dragged her to the pool or beach she managed to stay on dry land, stay in the shallows, or use an inner tube. Akali couldn't swim, never learned at the dojo, since there was no reason to learn.

The girls were out in the back, enjoying a day off of producing and the sun beside the pool. Eveylnn was cladded in a simple purple two peice, and had claimed her spot on a lounge chair with an umbrella reading a book, though she kept looking up at Ahri and Kai'sa. The two in question were wrestling in the pool, laughing and splashing to knock the other down. Ahri had her hair in a bun and was cladded in a pink (surprisingly) one peice, while Kai'sa was in a blue two-peice and her hair in a ponytail.

Both kept splashing and ducking under the water heading to the deeper end or trying to find cover behind the lounging rouge. Akali was cladded in a simple shorts and rash shirt both green in color. She was cooling off in the water while also enjoying the sun on a floatie. She would occasionally get sprayed by the water from the two, or pushed towards the deeper end as they tried to avoid the other, though she knew if she was on the floatie she would be fine.

"Stop hiding behind Akali!" Ahri shouted playfully glaring at the cowering dancer who just snorted. "Don't act like you do the same thing!" Ahri rolled her eyes and ducked under the water to get Kai'sa, causing a shriek and the dancer pushing off Akali's floatie and towards the shallow, leaving a cackling Rouge in her wake.

"Oh shush Akali! Why don't you join in if you're just gonna laugh!" Kai'sa shot back, dodging another lunge from Ahri. "Yea no thanks, I'm much happier just chilling and watching you two." Akali said simply, still giggling softly though missing the twin glares between the two.

Eveylnn watched from the land chuckling softly as she recognized the dangerous look in the dancer and leaders eyes, knowing the rouge was about to get it. Deciding to not warn the rouge she just simply smiled and went back to her book, though a yelp of surprise and the cackling of the older two had her focusing on them again. They had migrated to the deeper end of the pool, just bearly deep enough to have Kai'sa swim instead of walk. She saw the dancer and Leader cackling loudly, gripping the flipped over floatie and chuckled putting the book down ready to tease the rouge when she reappeared.

Akali yelped as she felt the floatie be pushed from underneath, sending her carenning into the water. She sunk quickly, and started flailing to try and get back up to the surface to take a breath. She felt her back hit the floor though her chest constricted with the lack of fresh air she struggled to figure out how to get back up. Pushing with the rest of her strength agaisnt the floor she launched herself up, the push getting her about halfway before she felt herself slowing. Her vision was starting to swim as her lungs screamed for fresh air though she tried to fight past it.

A sudden hand grabbed her from her arm and yanked her back up and onto the floatie which she cling onto tightly, coughing and gasping for breath. She could feel a warm body beside her and talking all around her as she struggled to calm her breathing. "Holy.. are you okay Akali?" "Why didn't you tell us you couldn't swim?!" "Take deep breathes your okay now.." as her vision cleared and her breathing steady she noticed that Kai'sa was right beside her, quietly telling her to breathe and she was okay. She faintly saw Eveylnn on her other side watching with worried eyes, and Ahri as infront of her, face contorted with worry and anger.

"So-sorry..." was all Akali whispered, still gripping desperately on the floatie, though now avoiding the girls eyes. "Is this why you're either always in the shallow or on a floatie?" Kai'sa asked softly, rubbing the rouges back softly. Akali only nodded not trusting her voice. "Why didn't you tell us Akali? If we knew we wouldn't have done that." Ahri said next, the leader reaching out to touch Akali's hand, grateful that she didn't pull away. "Didnt want to worry you guys.." "Akali you worried us when you didn't come back up.. please tell us next time." Ahri said, her tone firm but kind.

They had migrated back to the stairs and as soon as Akali could touch the floor she pushed off and walked to the stairs. She heard the girls follow her as she grabbed her towel and wrapped herself in it, watching when they did the same. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you guys.. I'll tell you next time.." Kai'sa smiled and sat beside the rapper, bringing her into a one armed hug. "Do you want to learn? I can teach you?" Akali nodded and leaned into the warmth of the dancer, happy that they were all good again.
