Chapter 8

Mitch POV

Day 8

"I have an idea!" Avi proclaims at breakfast.

"Oh god, now what," Emma says. He just smiles and lays out a pamphlet in the middle of the table. I look at it, but it's upside down, so I can't really make out exactly what it is.

"Water slides?" Kevin says.

"Yeah, man! On the other side, the back part where all the family stuff is, there's a kids area full of slides and stuff."

"Avi, it's a kids area. Meaning you have to be a kid to go in there," Emma says.

"Oh come on. It's worth trying to sneak in. It looks like a blast."

It does look like fun, and we all agree that after breakfast, we're going to do whatever we can to get in there.

"Hi," Emma says to the guys working the entrance.

"Hey," he says with a smile.

"So, I was wondering if maybe my friends and I could go in here today."

"It's supposed to be 13 and under," he says. She looks back at us and makes a pouty face, and we follow suit.

"I see adults in there," she says.

"They have kids."

She reaches out and runs her finger down the guys chest.

"We could have kids too, or siblings even," she says as she leans into the guy.

He stutters a bit before saying, "Okay," and handing each of us a wristband.

"Oh, there's four more of us, they just haven't made it here yet," she says with a smile. He nods and hands her four more wristbands.

"Thanks," she says and gives him a peck on the cheek.

"Got it!" she yells out, and the rest of the guys come out from around the corner.

She hands them their wristbands and gives the guy working the entrance a wink. He sits there, mouth open as we make our way into the little water park.

"You're bad," Alyssa says.

"What? If some guys wants to give me something because I bat my eyes at him, that's his bad."

Alyssa rolls her eyes, but says no more. She did get us in, after all.

We run as a group up to the first slide, and after that, it's a free for all. Scott, Kirstin, Jeremy and I stick together, and find a group of kids to tag along with.

They tell us about some water cannons, so of course that's the first place we head off too.

There's five pairs, set up across from each other. We take one side, and the kids take the other. It's a continuous stream, sort of like those fill the balloon games at carnivals, only much larger.

We each pick a kid and take aim. The kids love it, and they get their fair share of cannon water on us as well.

A loud buzzing noise interrupts us after a few minutes, and a countdown from 20 starts over a loudspeaker.

"What's that?" Jeremy asks.

"Come on! Hurry!" the kids yell, and we waste no time running after them.

"Stand here!" They shout.

We do, and when the countdown reaches one, a loud bomb noise goes off, and a giant bucket of water overturns right above us.
