Micheal hopped up a bit higher. “Okay. That good?”

"Just a little bit more." She held up her index finger and thumb with a little space between them.

Micheal hopped and splooshed back down safely. “Okay?”

She sighed. "You have to put effort into it. Make it worth- Just. Nevermind. It's fine."

Micheal blinked and looked down at his feet. “I’m sorry. I’ve never been able to jump in puddles as a kid.”

"It's okay." She hadn't really enjoyed (it didn't rain in the Night Sky), but she doubted they were for the same reasons. Still, she was curious. "Why not?"

Micheal sighed. “My parents didn’t let me. They said it tracked mud in the house.”

"Oh, well you've got your own house er- apartment now, right? I mean. Really, Micheal. You don't have to if you don't want to. I just figured you might enjoy it."

Micheal shifted around. “I can jump higher? Though I’m not sure I’m enjoying it.”

"Maybe you will enjoy it. Just try it. If not for you, for me."

Micheal glanced up at her. “How many jumps?”

"Just one. A big jump though."

(Sorry. Kinda sick at the moment)

(It’s okay.)

“Big?” Micheal repeated nervously. “Like, how big?”

"Like," she thought for a moment before walking over to a puddle. "This!" She jumped in it, water splashing everywhere and soaking into her clothes. It felt…nice. Refreshing almost. She found herself laughing a little before turning back to him. "See?"

Micheal watched her jump and tensed when she landed. Her shoes had come so close to slipping in the puddle. She could’ve crashed down on the sidewalk and given herself a concussion.
“Er… okay…”

She could feel his hesitation. "What's up?" Concern took over her face.

Micheal poked the mud. “I might fall! I’m very clumsy. I trip all the time.” This wasn’t a lie. He had tripped over so many things in his lifetime.

"So do I! I was really clumsy, which was really hard to do in the sky. There was nothing around." Crap. "I- uh, the point is just to go for it."

Micheal raised his eyebrows. “Sky? What do you mean, sky?”

"I, no what? Pffftt! Sky?" She laughed nervously. "You know what? I think that we should just keep going. Save the puddle for another day, yeah?" She turned around and began to walk. Idiot idiot idiot idiot.

Micheal blinked and nodded. He went after her, which required him to walk through the puddle. Suddenly, though, his foot slipped on a moist part of the puddle and he fell back with a squeak, his clothes getting soaked in mud, as well as his hair.

She heard the splash of the puddle and turned to see him on the ground. "Micheal!" She ran back to him, crouching to see if he was okay.

Micheal sighed and looked up at her.
“That was fun.”

"I'm sure it was. Just not for me- you nearly gave me a heart attack!" She shook her head a little. "You okay? I mean, besides all the mud that's covering you."

Micheal sat up slowly, sighing out. “No. My back hurts.” His back always hurt. He should get it checked out, but he never had the money.
