“Catch me if you can!” You laughed running away from Tucker and his squirt gun. “You’ll owe me a kiss later once I do.” He says. “In your dreams Tucker.” You said.

You all were on Iris having a water gun fight to beat the heat. Sarge happily accepted the challenge which meant he could boss Simmons, Grif, Donut, and Lopez around. Tucker, Caboose, Wash, and Carolina joined because there wasn’t much to do.

Outfitted in swimsuits and water guns, it was a free for all. It also was nice to get out of the armor. “Y/n! On your left!” Wash says. You turned to see Sarge chuckling as he pulled the trigger. You dodged just barely and continued running. Everyone was laughing and having fun.

You hide behind a large boulder to catch your breath when you feel a cool sensation hit you suddenly. “AH!” You yelped. Looking around, your eyes land on Caboose with the biggest and cutest grin. “Caboose! You surprised me.” You said. “I was told that I had to get you with water and then I would win. Did I win, Y/n?” he asked.

You chuckled and ruffled his hair. “Yes Caboose. But now you have to get Grif and Tucker with water.” You said. “Okay!” Caboose says running off leaving you alone. You decide to go find Carolina and sprint just in time to see Donut’s water balloon hit the spot you were a few seconds ago.

“Missed me Donut!” You shouted. “Awe man!” he says. You dash across the field and soon find Carolina by the base with Wash next to her. You squirt them chuckling. “Hey! I helped you earlier.” Wash whined. “It’s a free for all, Wash. Just because you helped her doesn’t mean she still can’t squirt you.” Carolina says.

“Caboose got me. I sent him after Tucker and Grif. If only we outfitted Freckles with water guns. Then this would be even more fun.” You said. “I’d be terrified. It was bad enough when he almost killed me back on Chorus just because of the team leader argument Tucker and I had. But Freckles in a water gun fight? He’d get everyone soaked the moment he sees us.” Wash says.

“I’m going to go get Donut wet. His water balloons will get us eventually. Watch my back, you two.” Carolina says. Both you and Wash nod. She ran off while the two of you watched for any movement near yourselves and Carolina. When you here the feminine male's yelp of surprise, you knew that she got him.

You grinned but it didn’t last long when you heard Tucker's voice nearby. “I’m going to get you now! Ha!” He shouts running towards you. Exchanging a look with Wash, you both nod and raise your squirt guns.

As you started to release the freezing cold water, Tucker shouts something. “Caboose!” he says. You and Wash watch as Caboose took the hits for Tucker and you felt back that he was now shivering. “You know, asking Caboose to take the hits for you is mean.” Wash says.

“So what? Y/n sent him after me so I think its perfectly fine.” Tucker says. “I told Caboose to go after you and Grif.” You said. “Yeah, I couldn’t find him so I just went to Tucker.” Caboose says. You chuckled. “Has anyone seen Simmons since we started this water war?” you asked.

All head shook no. Sighing, you decided to go find Simmons and Grif. But not before gathering everyone who was playing. “New objective: First one to find Grif and Simmons and soak them gets to skip chores for the rest of the week.” You said.

“Are we allowed to team up? I wanna be with Sarge!” Donut says. You nodded. “If we’re doing teams then I call dibs on being with Y/n.” Tucker says. “Nope. I’m taking Caboose. You can be with Wash and Carolina.” You said. Tucker mumbles inaudible words but went over to the ex-Freelancers.

“Ready.”

“Set.”

“GO!” You shouted.

Everyone split up. You and Caboose start looking in the base for any traces of the maroon and orange soldiers. Walking/jogging around looking for them was a lot of exercise but you enjoyed the search just to soak the two. “I don’t see Simmons or Grif. Maybe they turned invisible!” Caboose says.

“Let’s check in this cave before we think that as a possibility.” You said chuckling. There were vines covering the entrance so it was hardly noticeable until getting up close. You knew about the cave because you explored around Iris looking for anything interesting.

Caboose follows you inside and you could hear him making sounds of being cold. “I’m cold. Can I go back outside? I want to say hi to the sun again.” Caboose says. “Sorry Caboose. If you tried to leave, you’ll get lost. Then I’ll have to find you.” You said. “I do not want to get lost in the spooky cave. I will stay with you.” He says.

Going further in, you could hear the sound of bickering that belonged to two individuals alone. “I’m telling you, I fucking heard something. You know how I hate bats and yet you dragged me in this fucking cave.” Grif's voice said. “Calm down. I just didn’t want to explore this cave alone. Besides, would you rather get squirted at with freezing cold water? That’s what the others are doing right now.” Simmons’ voice says.

“Well at least I’d be outside where there was light and no fucking bats.” Grif says. Simmons sighs. “I’m not letting you leave my side trying to get out. You’ll get lost.” He says. “Simmons? Grif? You guys down here?” You  asked calling out. You and Caboose follow the tunnel until you see lights. Reaching the lights, you saw the two standing there looking at you and Caboose.

“How did you find us? We didn’t tell anyone we were going down here.” Simmons says. “I came down here before. Now let’s get out of here because I don’t want Caboose to freeze over. We were all looking for you two. Guess I was right thinking you’d be together.” You said chuckling.

“What do you mean by that?” Grif asked. “Its obvious but I’m pretty sure you already know.” You said. Taking the lead, you walked out of the cave into the sunlight and looked behind you to see the other three come out from the darkness.

And then you let them have it. “Now Caboose!” You said. The two of you drench the two until you ran out of water in your guns. “This is why I didn’t join you guys. I didn’t want to get wet with cold water.” Simmons whined while shivering. Grif on the other hand enjoyed it while being in the sun.

“We won! No cleaning for the week!” Caboose shouts while dancing around. Everyone else came out and soon enough, you and Caboose are soaked thoroughly. You laughed knowing that there were some fun times ahead of you all during your time on Iris.
