Los Paraisos: Water Park
“Get me a lemonaaaaaaaade!” Estelle shrieked, on a new high after the adrenaline pumping ride she had just gone on. Seeing the resort, and experiencing the Water Park was unlike anything she had experienced before. Gone was the eighteen year old girl closing in on nineteen, replaced with Estelle’s inner child verging more on twelve. She could hardly contain herself, and if she wasn’t careful she’d probably give herself a heart attack.
"Do you guys wanna get floatie doughnuts with me"
“Floatie doughnuts?” Estelle repeated, not sure what Trixie was referring to at first, but then understanding. They weren’t as exhilarating as the giant slides, but they also didn’t contain any waiting time. “Yes! Yes we can grab some floatie doughnuts and go on the lazy river and then we can go on that and that and, oh my gods that!!!”
But Estelle’s excitement was short lived as Xandra revealed she couldn’t go in the water. Estelle and Trixie turned to their new friend, their hearts fully crest-fallen, with small tears forming in the Pride leader’s eyes.
Tears that were then replaced with stars once Xandra lifted her dress’s sleeve up.
Any normal person might have shown more tact, and empathic sorrow to Xandra’s condition… at how a beautiful, young woman such as her might have lost an arm.
But Estelle wasn’t normal.
“OH MY GODS YOU HAVE A ROBOT ARM!!!” Estelle screamed as loudly as she could. Xandra’s reaction was immediate. Embarrassment? Shame? At the sudden loud attention being shot her way. But then- “THAT IS SO FRIGGING COOL!!!”
...What.
“OH MY GODS I’M SO JEALOUS THAT LOOKS SO AWESOME!!!” Estelle bounced up and down on the spot, encouraging Trixie to do the same. “You must be super strong with it, right? Could, could… could you lift me up? Wait. Wait. WaitwaitwaitwaitWAIT. CAN IT… CAN IT TRANSFORM? INTO AN ARM CANNON? CAN YOU SHOOT LASERS?!?!”
Trixie’s own eyes sparkled from the idea. Both the two sisters were upon Xandra in no time, pressing her with more and more uncomfortable questions as they probed the possibilities Xandra’s arm might have. Could it transform? Did it have secret compartments to hide sweets in?? Could it be fired like a rocket and rocket punch someone?!
However, Estelle’s loudness was quickly forming a scene and disturbing even the jovial loud peace that existed at the water park. The trio were near a row of deckchairs filled with people sunbathing, and the three girls were most closest to, and loudest, to a young woman in an incredibly skimpy bikini and shades trying to work on attaining a tan. In her hands she held a mirror, in order to best get the sun’s rays all over.
A woman who was taking some much needed time off from her job on the resort to earn some RnR, only for these three… inscrutable… annoying… fucking loudmouthed… brats… to keep shouting…!
Her brow twitched until finally enough was enough.
It was like a volcano erupting.
“Rrrrrggghghh would you fucking bitches shut the fuck up!!” The woman screamed, jumping to her feet. “Some of us are trying to fucking relax here and you’re fucking screaming like a goddamn fucking chi… ld… …!”
Everything seemed to fall in slow motion. Estelle and Trixie turned towards the loud, expletive filled woman, as she slowly lifted her shades up. All three women’s jaws dropped, with the quiet Xandra watching the scene unfold in confusion.
“YOU!!” Estelle and the woman pointed to each other. Trixie looked baffled at first, before deciding to point at both.
“What the fuck are you doing here?!” The woman screamed.
“Me? That’s my question! What the hell are YOU doing here?” Estelle’s excitement quickly rose to anger.
“Rrrrghhhh… not on my day off! Not on my fucking day off do I have to put up with you and your shit!” The woman’s scorn was held in gritted teeth.
“My… are you serious? Look you little tramp, I still owe you a butt kicking from back in the castle!” Estelle’s foot stamped on the ground.
“Oh boy.” Trixie’s face sharply turned left and right, searching for the rest to help. And then there they were! Superbro, Doctor and Lissa returning with drinks in each hand and worried expressions once they heard Estelle’s screaming.
“What’s going on?” Dylan asked with concern, Lisette bringing a finger up to her lips in curiosity as Kapi waddled besides her feet.
“Is… is everything okay?”
“Okay? No, not okay!” The blue haired woman in the skimpy red, strapless bikini spat back. “This red haired bitch won’t shut the fuck up! Who the hell are you anyway… !!!!!!!!!!!!”
Pure unadulterated shock and horror filled the tanner’s face, as the sun was swept away from her eyes. A giant, voluminous shadow overwhelmed her, the giant body lunging forwards in a tackle. The man’s face, however…
His face was streaming with tears.
“LITTLE SISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~~~~~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
What followed was a shrill shriek, a spinning blur, the sound of a loud explosion followed by another that resulted in a powerful splash that coated the entire group. In the aftermath of the soaking poolwater that fell upon them like rain, was Don suddenly missing and the tanning blue haired woman standing up with her foot raised at head height. She suddenly blinked, as if coming into realisation of what she had just instinctively done.
Josette Capuello had kicked her older brother in the face and sent him flying into the nearest pool.
“…oops.”
“Woah, Superbro went flying…” Trixie blinked. “Wait, he can’t swim!!”
“I, er… didn’t mean to do that…” Josette’s voice trailed off in embarrassment. And then, she suddenly noticed him, and any thoughts of her brother and his splashing predicament was drained from her mind. She had just noticed Dylan, and oh my god what a hottie he was! Her prince had finally arrived!!!
“Don? Don!” Estelle turned, starting to run to the pool, when all of a sudden… out of nowhere… a commanding voice rung out.
“Wait! Stay there! I will save him!!!”
Flicking her head up, she saw silhouetted against the overhanging sun a man brilliantly posing atop a lifeguard chair, his arms holding his sides, the overhanging light reflecting in his sunglasses. He lowered his head, focusing on the pool, and then dived – performing two magnificent twirls and spins as he did before splashing into the pool. Within seconds, he swam with all the grace of a dolphin and caught the sputtering Don, dragging him to the pool’s edge and lifting him up onto the side, into safety.
Don’s body landed on the wet floor, and the lifeguard followed by pulling himself effortlessly out of the pool, greeting the Pride with the man’s bronzed, shining skin and impeccable musculature. He immediately turned towards Don, towering over him.
“Don’t worry, everyone! I’m about to perform CPR!!”
“*cough*… *cough*… what’s… going on…?” Don blinked, the left hand side of his face glowing red from where Josette had kicked him. “Jerry…?”
“BIG BRO!!!!!” Jerry screamed.
"I'm going to save you!!"
