"Tell me, how is a water balloon fight supposed to determine whether water is wet or not?" Vincent asked Penni.
The thirteen teenagers were standing in a nearby park. Penni had brought along a whole bucket full of water balloons, which were already filled.
"Well, it's simple." Penni responded. "These water balloons are filled with water, and by having splash against someone, we can therefore determine if water is wet or not by seeing if water feels wet and if it makes other things wet."
"Not gonna lie, that's kind of confusing." Avery piped up.
Graham stepped forwards. "I think it's genius. This is like a science experiment, only more fun."
"But Google said that water isn't wet, and that it only makes things wet when it touches them." Sydeny pointed out.
"Well, anything can be published on Google by other people." Leon retorted. "Technically speaking, it's kind of like Wikipedia, but larger."
Sydney gasped. "Are you doubting Google?!"
"Well maybe I am." Leon smirked.
"One simply does not doubt Google!" Sydney shouted.
"Try me!" Leon yelled back.
"Google is all knowing and is therefore better than you!"
"You're just saying that because you're against the idea of this water balloon fight, Sydney. What a party pooper."
"I am not! I'm just saying, the people who publish stuff on Google have gone through loads of research, using things from different sources, and thus-"
Travis stepped in between the two and separated them with his hands. "That's enough, you two, that's enough."
"So are we doing this or not?" Sebastian asked.
"Why is something telling me that the events of this... 'experiment' will result in an all out war?" asked Delilah.
Amber shrugged. "Honestly, I completely agree with you."
"C'mon guys, this'll be fun!" Cate exclaimed, walking over to Penni's large bucket and picking up a water balloon. "Ah, I haven't had a good water balloon fight in ages!"
"The last family water balloon fight resulted in an everlasting grudge between you and one of our cousins." Levi reminded her.
Cate laughed. "Oh, that, I'm sure it won't happen this time." Pausing for a while, she added, mumbling under her breath, "I'm gonna get you for this, Paulina."
"I don't really like this idea." said Candy warily. "I really do hate getting wet- HEY!"
Just as she finished speaking, a red water balloon flew towards Candy, hitting her in the side of her head. However, the water balloon did not burst. Instead, it merely bounced off Candy, landing on the grassy ground below her feet.
Everyone turned to look at Sebastian, whose left arm was outstretched.
"Oops, my hand slipped." He said.
A michevious but angry gleam appeared in Candy's eyes. "Oh it's on." She hissed.
The others watched as Candy bent down to pick up the water balloon. She threw it at Sebastian, watching as it hit him square in the chest. The water balloon burst, making his shirt wet.
Sebastian merely blinked once. "I never thought that you'd be into water balloon fights, Candy."
"Well I'm not into having water balloons hit me." Candy replied sharply, rubbing the side of her face. "I would've preferred that it burst."
