"Alright, I've had enough for tonight. I'm getting out," Alice said, as her teeth chattered slightly in her mouth. The near-frigid temperature of the water had finally overtaken the girl as goosebumps began to emerge all over her body. She tried rubbing her hands over her arms while still beneath the surface, but it provided almost no extra warmth. "And that means...." she reached over to where Julie remained seated and gave her a strong flick on the forehead.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed. The surprising jolt knocked her backward on the ground, as Alice anticipated it would.
"....You need to turn around so I can get dressed!"
Julie laid down with her legs still soaking in the water and arms spread apart comfortably, agreeing to Alice's request. She closed her eyes and complained, "Ugh, fiiiine."
The sound of Alice's body emerging from the water could be heard as water droplets streamed down her legs, chest and back before rejoining the pond once more. Despite a little chill in the air, it still warmed the girl's body when compared to the water she was just submerged in. Awkwardly, Alice tried shaking the excess water off of her body before using her Gi as a towel to sop up what remained. Unfortunately, her beautiful pink ponytails remained so wet, that nothing except air would be able to dry them. Alice began spinning and shaking them around rapidly in an attempt to accomplish this task.
"Watch where you're flinging your hair, Alice. It's getting soggy over here," Julie complained again, now opening her eyes.
"Relax, I'm sure you could use a shower anyway."
"Yeah, but only a waaaarm one."
"True, I do like a nice ice bath every once in a while but this pond definitely would have been nicer if it was heated," Alice continued messing with her hair, trying to straighten it out like her finger was a brush.
Julie finally sat back upward and raised both legs out of the water, "The burned areas feel a lot better after the cold hit them, but now the rest of my leg feels numb!" She quickly moved her hands back and forth over the sides of her legs to heat them again.
"Now that you mention it, my wounds feel a lot better too," She gently circles one of them with her finger, "I was so concerned about the temperature, I forgot they were even there!"
When Julie finished wrapping her legs and feet with the bands, the two companions made their way back to camp and left the pond behind.
"You know Alice, I was thinking about the map and had an idea....hm? Alice?" Julie looked to her left side, but Alice wasn't there. After spinning around trying to locate the Pink Ninja, she was spotted back near the edge of the pong.
"Alice, we're walking this way. Camp is this way, did you forget?" she asked. And gave a little hand gesture to come along.
"I know that," Alice said nervously. "There's a problem."
