Beaching It [Week 7, Period 5, Wed. 8/18]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

The day was forecast as warm and sunny and so the class met on the real beach again. John was waiting for them with tables of filled water pistols and water rifles as well as a couple buckets of filled water balloons. Yeah, it was pretty obvious what class was going to be about today, but John was fine with this as he waited, tossing his water rifle between his hands.

"So, last class is usually some sort of wrap it up, see what you've learned or whatever real teachers do. I'm not much of a teacher, but I was thinking we'd do something a little more fun and active on our final day." He charged up his water rifle and shot a stream directly at his TA. Yeah, he was kind of an ass. Before she could kick his ass, he directed the class in their activity, "Grab a gun, grab some balloons, or go chill down on a towel if you fear such things. No matter what, I'm betting some people are gonna get wet today!"

Cara was already wet from her encounter with Kitty, but on principle she still twisted to avoid the spray managing to miss a decent amount of it.

That she didn't manage to dodge all of it pricked at her pride enough that she lobbed another balloon in Leia's direction. If this one was aimed higher than her hip... well, Alex wasn't the only person in the class with an appreciation for wet clothes on people. People who weren't her.

Once she saw them coming, the balloons were easier to avoid. Leia scrambled to her feet and dodged this attack, running backwards as she kept firing at Cara.

Now that she was getting a feel as to how the pistols worked Cara was getting much better at dodging the streams of water. Having a preference close quarter fighting meant she also had very few compunctions about closing the distance to throw a balloon at Leia from point blank range, especially since running forwards meant she didn't have to watch her footing.

Leia held her ground. She was going to get wet no matter what at this point, so she took the balloon to her chest, grinned, and kept firing now that her target was even closer.

Given that Cara wasn't wearing white, she considered herself to have won, no matter how soaked she got now.

Smirking about it wasn't very sportsmanlike though. Nor was very blatantly checking out the results of your handiwork, Cara.

Leia couldn't help but notice the smirking and the checking out. "And here I thought it was Alex I had to watch out for," she said.

Cara was taking her sweet time with both. "That's what you get for only expecting one line of attack."

Someone took her water fights a touch too seriously.
