"This is for the busted heart
This is for the question marks
This is for the outcast soul
Lost control, no one knows"

"What the shuck?!" Nick yelled as he fell out of his hammock, soaking wet. The sound of Clara's laughter filled his ears as he looked up at her.

"Rise and shine!" She sang slightly before she dropped the empty bucket that was once filled with water and started running.

"Oh, you're so going to get it." Nick quickly scrambled off of the floor as he chased after her. He was soaked from head to toe.

"Clara! Get back here!" He yelled after her as she continued to run. He wasn't mad...well, maybe just a bit.

Clara screeched as she ran through the glade, Nick right on her tail. She then saw George walking in the distance, in her path, clearly unbothered of what was going on.

"George! Help me!" Clara shouted and grabbed his arm as she came to a stop, hiding behind him.

"What did you do?" George asked as he saw Nick slowly come to a stop in front of George.

"Why are you wet?" George raised an eyebrow at his best friend.

"Come here." Nick tried to grab Clara from behind George, but she moved away as she clung onto the back of George's shirt. George as well, whacking Nick away.

"Hey. Be nice." George told him, a slight smile on his face, clearly amused by this.

"I was sleeping...peacefully..." Nick huffed from the running as he looked at George. "Then Clara decides to ruin my slumber by pouring a whole bucket of water on me." He got a bit louder and George smiled some more.

"It's just water. It'll dry." Clara pipped up from behind George. This made George laugh and Nick try and grab her once more.

"Clara, I'm gonna-"

"I can't believe she can still prank you and you are so unaware." George swatted Nicks hands away again.

"I was sleeping." Nick gestured to himself, getting more frustrated at what was going on.

Nick and George were completely unaware as Leo came up from behind Clara with a bucket of water. Clara easily moved away from George as Leo got closer, a grin forming on his face.

"Better sleep with one eye open." Leo said as he poured the water on George.

"What the shuck?!" George exclaimed as he watched the water fall from him.

"Now can I get my revenge?" Nick questioned.

"We'll give you both a five second start." George turned to Leo and Clara.

"Go. Go. Go!" Clara hit Leo's arm gently as the two started to run in one direction.

"This way!" She told Leo as they continued to run.
