What The Luck!?

"So, I was thinking…" Jane was floating in her tube with the group who had all geld on to one handle to create a chain and not lose each other. " Why don't we look in to do some intense training on top of the plans they have for us for the summer. They already said it would be the catch up courses to equal us to the rest of the juniors who are moving on to senior year. We might as well also set up a plan to push ourselves physically higher." 

"Hmmmm, that's great and all, but what if we did team work as the main focus? We can make each other stronger at the same time but one thing that will set us aside is true team work. We all saw the kid Cara fought, the bull shifter-

Cara interrupted, "His name is Billy and he is basically an angel. He's even nicer than Jackson. But he has the flipside of a super power that he spends all his time learning to properly control." The look Cara had said that she would not budge on this.

Art looked as if he had just been kicked but quickly recovered, "We would have lost that match since we would have been unable to work together. Louis and Sammy have super powers that can affect the entire area. Jackson and Laura have the lowest experience and need to learn to control strength and speed.. Then Asher brings the bad luck challenge and Jane might freeze someone in place by accident. There's also the chance I will not be able to stop metal or Cara could use too much sound." Art rambled this off then returned to his leaned back position not saying a word. 

"It was a blunt run down but it's all true. We can probably work together as a pair or even trios at times but as a whole group, we can't yet. We may know how we all work and what the strengths and weaknesses we have are which is a great start. Next, we need to figure out how that all fits together." Asher was already putting ideas together but didn't want to go in to too much detail at the moment. 

"Then we get to brainstorm for tomorrow?" Laura didn't want to focus on the fact that they needed to start to work on their teamwork. If they did they might miss out on some of the rides around.

"I agree, tomorrow," Jackson spoke up with a groggy voice making everyone realize that he may have been falling asleep in his tube. 

"Ummm, how much longer on this? We have ti have been through the entire lazy river already, right?" The question from Sammy hung in the air while everyone looked around. They eventually came upon a staff member at a fork in the river. 

"Left or right, right or right? Take a choice and relax or head for a thrill!" The staff member started to push everyone e to the left fork and they had the feeling that they should have been faster to make a choice. The only reason for their panic was the sudden increase in the speed of the water. 

"We didn't even answer!!!!" Louis's shout went unanswered as he focused himself so that he would not allow any of the lightning to leave his body while he was jostled around by the now downward slope of rough water. 

The sides of the river became bumpy and twisted as they all tried to hold on to the handles of the tubes they had. There was no chance to speak just curse and spin. The first one to speed up faster than all the others was Jackson since he was the heaviest. This was a foreshadowing to everyone else who saw him disappear then reappear in the air way ahead of them. 

"There's so e sort of jump ahead!" Asher tried to warn Art who was the next heaviest one flying ahead but he was already in the air in front of them. Asher followed and soon everyone else did. The weightless feeling was immediately followed by the cold water encompassing them was the end of the ride. Their tubes had floated away and they found they had been directed in to a large pool that was in the center of the water park. 

Staff members gathered their tubes and helped those to shore that needed it but at the end of the ride they were all laughing and enjoying the shocked expressions of those who chose the path. They had no idea that their colleague was just surprising people by pushing them down this way. 

"That was one way to dunk in the water." Cara had reached the group last and found the spot they had claimed with pool chairs and a table. 

"I would ask what we should do next but I think we just went on the best water slide ever. Actually, that might be scarier than the haunted house later." Jackson was not at all amused and had just recovered from the sudden change of pace. Unfortunately for him, ha had been drowzing a little which was most likely the cause of the staff member ushing them down the rougher path. 

"I think we should all race down the tall one." Laura was looking toward the far end of the water park. She was staring right at the ten rainbow slides that left the same platform and went through a series of twists and loops. The end came down in to the main pool that was attached to the wave pool. 

"How fast would we do down that?" The voice crack that Louis had was enough to show that he had been through a lot of added stress to hold in the lightning that was building up in his body. The thought that he would need to go through it again if not worse, was a hard pill to swallow. 

"I actually think that one looks awesome. I will totally be down that first as long as Jackson gives us all a three second head start." Cara was already trying to even the playing field as she grabbed on to Sammy and Jane to pull them up. From the looks of it, no one had any chance to say no. They were going and that was that. 

"Well, I guess I am following Cara." Asher was up leaving Louis, Art, and Jackson just looking at each other wondering if they should actually go. Laura, of course, had already headed off and was jogging backwards in front of Cara picking a small challenge and trying to make a bet on who would buy who ice cream when they win. 

"Since the girls are betting on the first one down, then why don't we?" Asher's smug grin said that he was the one that would reach the bottom first no matter what. " The last one down has to pay for everyones' ice cream just like Laura is saying. The first one down is the proclaimed the king of the water park." 

"Oho? You think yourself a king little one? Fear me for you will find I am just the kind of king you wish to be." Art took on a snooty tone and tried his best to act taller than he really is. 

"Even with the three second hold back I will be the first. These things favor those with more muscle." Jackson couldn't help but get in to the mood. He started to flex a little which sent all of them trying to flex a little and show off their muscles. 

"Why are boys so weird? We mention a small bet and now all of them are acting like fools. At least Louis is being normal." 

"Sammy, we all know that Louis isn't doing that because he would zap someone by flexing weird. He keeps looking like he wants to try and do it too." Laura was pointing a little and giggling at the face Louis was making. 

"Ooohhhh yeah, riiiggghhhttt. That's why you are focusing on him not flexing." Jane tried to tease and bump Laura only to hit air where Laura was. Cara just barely managed t catch her before he fell over. 

"And if all of you could stop copying the boys and fooling around we would be fine. It's going to be me first at the bottom and I look forward to one of you buying my ice cream." Cara sped up toward the tower that led to the top of the slides and heard the footsteps of everyone rushing up behind her. 

Halfway up they found the view was the same as the roller coaster. But the time they were near the top they all needed to stop to take a picture. As soon as it was done Cara put her water proof cellphone back in the armband she had it stored in and rushed up the stairs. "I'm going to go ahead and pick my slide first!" Everyone jumped in to action as well.
