Ethan had changed into his swim trunks and a t-shirt. It was almost ten minutes so Phoebe should be outside any minute now. He'd gotten into the package his parents had sent him for the early summer. The stuff was stashed behind the bushes so Ethan could surprise Phoebe when she came out.

Phoebe came outside barefoot, in shorts and a tank top. Finding Ethan, she asked, "Okay...Now what's in that head of yours?"

His smile was mischievous, not as nervous as he used to be. Ethan was getting used to being around her. And he'd taken Shade's advice to heart about trusting himself.
Ethan ducked behind the bushes and pulled out two super soaker CPS 4100 model guns. He had filled them up with the hose before Phoebe had come out.

Phoebe's jaw dropped, but she grinned. "Oh, no," she said. "I'm unarmed." She backed toward the mansion carefully, laughing.

Ethan held out one to her. He wouldn't attack her with no weapon. It wouldn't be fair. And there was no fun if only one person had a water gun.

Phoebe grinned and took the weapon. "Oh," she laughed. "You might have just sealed your doom." She grinned and took aim.

What Phoebe wasn't betting on was how quickly Ethan could dodge. Or how willing he was to get out of the way. Ethan dove into the bushes. He landed on his stomach and flipped around to get a grip on his gun.

Phoebe laughed, watching him. She pumped the gauge on her gun and shot a jet of water toward the bushes. She doubted she had hit him, but it was fun anyway. The last time she'd had a squirt gun fight had been back in Louisiana.

The spray of water whizzed by his head. Ethan pumped his gun five times and popped out of the bushes. He aimed the nozzle and fired. Leaping out of the bushes, he started running backwards.

"Ack!" Phoebe laughed as the water her in the shoulder. "Oh, that's it now, boy," she grinned, running after him while pumping her gun and firing.

The stream of water hit him in the middle of his chest. It was cold but Ethan didn't care. It felt really good. And he was having fun. And most importantly there was a big grin on Phoebe's face.
Ethan pumped his gun again and fired. He aimed at her feet this time. If it was cold enough, she might jump.

Phoebe saw the water and leapt out of the way, laughing. She pumped her gun again and fired. "You're gonna get so soaked," she laughed.

He couldn't respond. The gun was heavy and he couldn't shift it to one hand and use the other to sign. But Ethan wasn't just about to let himself lose without a fight.
Maybe he'd watched too many ninja movies. He didn't know. But Ethan dove out of the way. He skinned his knee sliding in the grass. Quickly he turned over, pumped his gun, and fired at her stomach.

A jet of water hit her dead in the gut. "Oof!" She laughed. "Oh, that's it now, boy." She pumped her gun quickly and fired.

He rolled again, catching the steam of water in his back. Ethan was really enjoying this. The weather was nice and the fight was fun. He pumped his gun again and fired back at her.
