Had the pond in the middle of the park always looked so pool-like? Absolutely not, but today it had a water slide, a diving board, and far too many pool floats.

"It's too hot and humid to think," Anakin, wearing swim trunks and sunglasses and lounging in one of the lawn chairs he'd totally made someone else placed around the water, "and I hate the sand around the beach, so--" he waved his hand, "pool day. Sort of. Relax. Swim. For those of you--and I know who you are, McGarrett--who can't sit still for more than five minutes, I've set up some lawn games. If you knock the croquet ball into the pond, you're going fishing for it."

He closed his eyes again. "Get your new shirts."

Re: Croquet

Graham took a moment, holding out his croquet mallet with an arm outstretched, making an effort to line it up with whichever flamingo would be the most helpfully still while he did it. He tilted his head thoughtfully, and then slowly started to turn mallet around, with his head following it, until he himself was practically upside down and had to hold a hand to his cap to keep it in place.

"Oh, wow!" he declared. "I can totally see that! They are like fluffy croquet mallets, aren't they?"

And, yes, actually, that was exactly why they were nervous.

"I don't suppose we could..." Well, Charlie definitely could. "I mean, I could certainly make a charm..."
