Gus booed at the rules. Being the mischievous children that they are, they put Hunter and Willow right next to each other in the very back. Willow was actually paying attention, Hunter was kinda looking out the window appearing a bit frazzled. Within a few minutes they were sitting in a parking lot. The car nearly vibrating from the excitement inside.
(They should totally just take every possible opportunity to set up Willow and Hunter haha)
Luz opened the car door and stepped out, blinking against the sun. "Alright, let's do this!"
(frfr, also sorry if I'm not writing good today, I had to go to a funeral and it was hard for me.)
(Oh my gosh are you okay?? You can PM me if you ever need to talk)
(I'm good. My uncle died. We werent close but I saw him a lot. The funeral was earlier and it just kinda feels tired today. It will probs just take longer for a response bc my mind idnt in it.)
(<3)
(Thanks dude<3)
(Any time! ^^)
The rest of the kids unloaded and ran to the black gate enclosing the pool. Camilla scanned her ticket pass thing and opened the gate. It was like opening a portal to a buffet in front of people who hadn't eaten in weeks. Gus ran into the pool imeadeatly and almost died. Willow went to a table in a grassy area. Vee, who carried most of the stuff, followed behind Willow. Amity walked in and stared. It was strange, water that people were willingly getting in. Some(most) times walking along the cliff by the boiling seas people were being threatened. She saw a kid get pushed in against his will and let out a small startled yell. Instinct, she assumed.
"It's ok, the water can't hurt them. Just… Try not to get it in your eyes." Luz winced as she remembered that she hadn't told the others about that, and hurriedly distributed goggles.
"Yeah, I just forgot. Thanks" She smiled and held them in her hand as she sat beside the pool. She stared at the water for a while before reaching out and touching it. "Luz…" She whispered "I don't know how to swim"
"Shoot, I should have thought of that…" She smiled and took Amity's hand. "I can teach you!"
"Thanks, I'll have to do something for you next time" She pressed a quick kiss to luz's hairline. 5 more minutes and Amity was dressed in floaties and was now making her way to the stairs.
(Yessss floaties)
(Also I have a headcanon that Hunter can just float effortlessly cause he's made out of wood haha)
Luz dove head-first into the water, splashing everyone nearby
(I have one where he can just walk underwater because he doesn't really need air because he's made of magic.)
(Let's just say he can do both haha)
"Ahh gross," Gus laughed before jumping in and making a bigger splash. Amity stepped down a stair into the cold-ish water.
Luz grinned and swam over to Amity. "The first thing you should do is just start getting used to the water. You can't really do anything else before that."
"It's so weird." She took another step down.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Luz shrugged. "I guess I'm just used to it." She stood up in the water and stepped closer to her girlfriend.
"How do I start?" Amity queried gesturing to some kids swimming a bit away.
"Okay, grab onto the wall, and lean back as far as you're comfortable with" Luz grabbed onto the side of the pool and leaned backward, until she was floating on her back. "Like that, the goal is to just float there."
