Wizards of Waterly Place

In Happy Happy Fun World, there is a magical land of wonder and mystical mystery.

And also waterslides.

This is Wizards of Waterly Place, a magic-themed water park. And this place is actually magical--or at least the technology makes it seem that way. Waterslides cut off at certain places, causing the park goers to "magically" appear on another water slide elsewhere where they continue (thanks to teleportation), and wavepools shoot out sparkles into the air where the waves crash into each other. Sometimes tubes move around and change shape as the riders are still sliding through them, leading to an even more exciting ride.

This park is home to one of the tallest waterslides in the universe, "The Amazing," which needs actually gravity dampers to prevent people from dying when they hit the bottom, and is responsible for the greatest swimsuit wedgies in all of existence. There's also the "Rabbit in a Hat" Drop Slides where the park goers jump down through top hat shaped slides, the "Mystic River" lazy tube ride, and the "Aqua Kadabra" river raft ride, among others. And don't forget "Nimue's Pool," the massive wave pool that changes colors and occasionally has bubbles rising from the water. (Some are big enough to hold people and carry them into the air before popping a few feet over the surface and dropping them back in the water).

For those that didn't bring swimsuits, ones stamped all over with logos can be bought at a shop outside the entrance of this part of the park, along with t-shirts, towels, and flip flops. Lockers can be rented near the changing rooms. There are also souvenir "wands" that squirt water and bubbles at people along with wand holders that can be bought here and top hats with flowers on them that shoot water, among other souvenirs.

Billy could find himself slightly embarrassed, but he wouldn't mind it at all. Ronnae was sweet, they both were. With smiles for both of them, he found himself sinking into the next rising bubble as it inched toward the surface. When it rose above, he rose with it, looking at Kaya through the film.

"Like this? And when it's time---fall into another one?"

"Yes!" Kaya called out, giving a thumbs up in Ronnae's direction. "Be careful, but if you can find a way to redistribute your weight just so, you can hop from bubble to bubble! Just be light!"

She hoped tat was good advice!

Ronnae smiled and cheered him on, doing little, small, timid cheers from her spot and waving at him.

This was pretty fun. Like a small vacation... okay so it technically was, but it felt more like there was no stress in her thoughts, not even about the war.

"Be light, huh?" Billy felt the bubble weakening as he hovered above the group, just as Kaya had, and gently popped the bubble with a headbutt. He had somewhat good control of his shape as he targeted the next bubble, but one slip of a limb had him crashing gracelessly into the pool.

This would hurt.

It would hurt, were Kaya not watching. Once she saw Billy's descent, she brought out her hands, took a deep breath and exhaled sharply. The pool now started to bring out a bubble of its own and caught Billy in it, making sure he didn't crash into the water. Once THAT popped, Billy would find a fine level of foamy water.

"You had me worried!"

Ronnae had already been moving to catch him, but upon seeing Kaya's actions, she backed off a little and waited for Billy to get settled down before moving to his side,

"Are you alright sweetheart?"

Billy was very grateful for her catch, spreading his arms as he sank into the foam. He played in it for a moment, rather enjoying the silly fluff. When he was nice and fluffy, he attacked Ronnae with a little hug.

"I'm fine, don't worry. You should try it! You're more graceful than I am, and we'll be here to catch you."

Ronnae thought about it for a long while, looking between the two and the bubbles. It wasn't whether it was safe or not, the little pool had reminded her of a few places she had visited in her world where she had to use similar acrobatics to reach her goal and such. That, and feats of strength, agility or stamina where her specialty... it did look fun... and maybe everyone else was having so much fun that they wouldn't notice her...

With a deep breath, she smiled a bit timidly before closing her eyes. Once she opened them, she took a small ride atop one of the bubbles meant to carry people up and the show began. She'd get as much enjoyment as possible while her thoughts were as far away from the looks she might get as possible.

She took an initial jump into another one, sliding slightly on it an doing a flip onto another, followed but a spinning hop to the next. She kept climbing higher and higher, taking spins and flips, daring acrobatic and flexible moves that she was known for in her fighting style. But instead of a serious expression, she was genuinely enjoying herself.

It was rare for her to allow herself to let loose, but as she put her heart into it, she couldn't deny her love for thrills such as these. And things like these are akin to training back in her world. It could have been much more dangerous as well.

Once she reached the highest the bubbles would reach, Ronnie jumped and flipped and spun to as many bubbles as she could before taking a long dive into the deepest part of the pool in a graceful display, disappearing into the water.

Kaya laughed with glee. She could certainly do the same, but at the moment she wanted to admire Ronnae with how graceful she looked, as she hopped and spun and showed herself to be exactly the amazing athlete she knew that she was. She could have tried topping her, but bat the moment she simply paddled over to Billy and smiled at him.

She's amazing," she said to him. Just when you think you might have her figured out, she goes and surprises you. But I think you helped her do that a little bit. I love that the two of you are able to bring that more vibrant parts of yourselves out in each other.

Billy wholeheartedly agreed, though he felt a twinge of awkward shame as well. He had significantly improved on land, and he could keep up with the pair of them when a battle called for it, but that long-standing fear of water and what lurked within had held him back. He could not be so fearless and at-home in the water.

Pushing those thoughts aside, he smiled (applause would draw unwanted attention to Ronnae) and waited for her to resurface. Perhaps they could enjoy the slides---they looked suitably dangerous. And exciting.

Soon enough, Ronnae resurfaced near them, pulling her hair back and wringing out the water. She looked pretty happy, a bit excited and all smiles at the moment.

"That was pretty fun!" she said, glomping onto Billy and nuzzling her face against his chest.

Oh, but suddenly there was no Kaya to be found. Where was she? Was she climbing up the bubbles again, to go and perform some amazing acrobatic feats?

No. Actually, while Billy and Ronnae had been watching each other, she just managed to disappear into the water...and promptly lift Ronnae up and hip toss her into the water again, giggling.

The slides could wait...a water fight was ensuing!

As always, Ronnae knew exactly how to cheer him up. For a few glorious moments, Billy was completely happy. He wrapped himself around Ronnae and laughed at her affectionate antics. "I'm glad you liked it. Hey, maybe we could..."

But he never got to mention what they could do, as Ronnae was lifted from his arms. He tightened his hold and struggled. "Hey! What're you---"

And that was how the two were thrown into the water together. Billy's eyesight wasn't the best of guides without his glasses, so he found himself concentrating and attempting to sense their attacker. It was Kaya, wasn't it? Amused with herself.

Once he was sure they were in an isolated area and unlikely to disturb other swimmers and that Ronnae was safe, he lunged. "We'll see about that!"

"H-hey, wait, wait!" But it was too late and she found herself in the water!

Ronnae would have liked to at least have gotten a chance to make sure no one was looking. You never know when accidents might happen. Luckily this wasn't one of those times, and she figured waiting would have ruined the sneak attack factor of the playfulness.

Once she and Billy were up, she laughed as she saw Billy lunging for Kaya.

"You teach her a lesson!" she cheered him on.

Kaya was happy that Ronnae was taking this lightly: she wasn't sure how the half orc would have taken the joke, but so far it looked like it was going all right!

Unfortunately, that slight hesitation did lead to Billy being able to catch up with her. She let out a squeal and, seeing Ronnae cheering him on, sent a fountain of water her way, arching from where they were and having it fall onto the girl's head.

Of course, at this point she and Billy were a tangle of limbs and water.

Billy wasn't expecting to actually catch Kaya. This wasn't good! Billy did his best to wrestle his way atop, spinning around and attempting to secure a hold. She'd use her powers to turn the tables any second, but they might still have some time.

"Ronnie, hurry! Splash!"

Ronnae moved aside and laughed a bit at her friends antics, getting easily drawn to the cheerfulness of it all!

At the suggestion, Ronnie got excited and put a lot of strength behind the splash... that ended up being a wave... whoop!

"Oh s-sorry! Watch out!" she called out hurriedly.

And still? This was lots of fun!

Ooh, a wave! That, and Billy was also trying to pin her! This was going to be fun!

Though Billy was fast, Kaya was just a bit faster. She maneuvered out of his hold, and as the wave approached, she made a quick move with her hands, having the wave turn back to Ronnae.

Billy yelped and dove under the wave, trying to get to Ronnae. They needed to get together to have a shot at this, for Kaya's mastery of her element was a huge advantage.

This was fun! So much fun that Ronnae figured she could let lose, even if just a little. Water wave, meet Shockwave! As Ronnae pulled back and sent a massive rush of energy to meet the fast incoming wave and split it appart instantly, making it explode and cause a short 'rain'.

She looked up and giggled as she enjoyed the little drizzle from the falling water with a big smile.

WHOA! She didn't know that Ronnae could do anything like that! Of course, she had seen Ronnae fight only once, but this was definitely a pleasant surprise. Not that Kaya was going to leave this unanswered. Bringing her hands up, she caused a funneling spout around Ronnae, and then proceeded to propel the girl forward, headed straight to Billy.

"Hey!" Billy yelped, propelling himself backward through the rain and bracing himself for impact. "You're both cheating," he grumbled good-naturedly. As the only one present who couldn't use his powers (without the fear of causing electrocution), he objected to this nonsense.

Ronnae laughed as the water spout sent her forward. This was fun! Even though she was in a collision course towards Billy, Ronnie didn't look worried.

Once she was nearby, she called on her training once more and for a split second, it almost looked as if she canceled her fall and jumped mid air again akin to a second jump and landed safely behind Billy instead, hugging him happily from behind as the water spout bathed them.

Of course, using the water spout's cover, she snuck in a kiss!

Kaya could have turned water on them, but she stopped instead, watching as Ronnae launched her assault on Billy. It was cute, but more importantly, a memory she treasured. When Billy hurt, when he specifically injured his own ego it hurt her too, and no matter what she tried, he had to deal with it on his own.

But with Ronnae, she saw how he was happy, how he wanted to please her and make her feel stronger, and it made her so happy to be surrounded by them, caring so much about each other.

Which was why a funnel of water shot out at them, sending them in a bubble of water together several yards!

Both women were fairly tricky, Billy realized. He rather enjoyed snuggling up to Ronnae and stealing a kiss away from prying eyes, but he enjoyed being caged in a bubble and sent over the crowd somewhat less. It was hardly comfortable for them, even if the view and company were rather nice.

He continued the kiss for a few moments as he considered a plan. "What do we do against a master waterbender?" he whispered. He had a few ideas, but he wondered what Ronnie thought.
