Just then, the two of them took notice of the sound of rushing water - it was the sound of a nearby river.
"Oh, hey, there's a river nearby!" Stinky pointed. "I say we follow it!"
"Follow it where?" Sam asked.
"Upstream, duh," Stinky answered sarcastically. "Just see where it's heading!"
She then darted ahead of Sam, towards the direction of the river. Sam walked slowly behind, as a thought crossed his mind. Y'know, come to think of it... I dunno if we ever DID see where that river ended up. ...Actually, was there a river in this forest. I don't remember that.
Sam caught up with Stinky, who was standing by the riverbed. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Alright, now we're talking! If we follow this river upstream, maybe we'll find something cool."
The two walked alongside the riverbed, as Sam asked Stinky, "You ever actually see where this river leads?"
Stinky paused and gave it some thought. "Y'know... no, actually. I don't think I have!"
She then farted from excitement.
BRRRRRPPT!
"Ooo, now I'm curious!" She started dashing ahead of Sam.
"Hey, hold on!" Sam yelled at Stinky.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Time: 8:23 AM
Sam had caught up with Stinky, who was waiting for him at the end of the river.
"Sam, check this out!" she said as she motioned him to come next to her.
Sam stopped besides Stinky and took a moment to catch his breath. "S-Stinky, come on... please let me know before you just run--"
His thought was cut off by what he saw - the two of them were standing at the edge of a pond. A pond that neither of them had seen before.
"Whoa," Sam said. "So, this is where this river lead all this time... how have we never run across this before?"
"Beats me," Stinky replied. "But, it's kinda cool, right? Wonder if it's very deep at all."
"Wait, you wanna go in?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, it's just a pond. Wouldn't hurt to just take a splash right?"
"In our clothes?" Sam said with an eyebrow.
Stinky paused.
"Oh yeah, that's... that's a good point. Guess we would soak our clothes. Bummer."
"Maybe next time?" Sam assured. "I mean, we know it's here now - maybe it could be something we do for a summer pool party."
Stinky pumped her fists in the air in response. "Awh yeah, that's a great idea! We should totally do that!"
Sam smiled and chuckled. He always did like Stinky get excited - it's how he knew she was having a fun time.
BRRRRrrrrrpppphhht!
That, and Stinky's farting as well.
But then, a thought suddenly hit the back of Sam's mind. Wait... what's this weird feeling? He looked behind himself, and scanned the woods. He didn't see anything unusual.
Huh... OK, nothing's here--
"Wh--Hey!" Stinky yelped as she fell into the pond.
As Stinky splashed into the pond, Sam quickly turned around. Stinky was more submerged than either of them expected, as the pond was deeper than it appeared.
"Stinky!" Sam shouted. "You OK!?"
Stinky was able to stand up from under the surface of the pond and catch her breath.
"*whew,* *pant-pant*... Yeah yeah, I'm good Sam. No problemo!" she assured with a thumbs up.
Sam sighed. "That's a relief... How did you fall in?"
"I thought you pushed me!" Stinky replied.
"No, I didn't push you!" Sam replied back. "At least... I'm pretty sure I didn't."
Stinky couldn't help but shrug it off with a laugh. "Pfffhahahaha! So much for not getting soaked, huh?"
Sam chuckled. "Heheh, yeah, I guess. Sorry..."
"It's whatever, Sam," Stinky said with a grin. "Hey, you should come in! The water actually feels pretty good!"
Before Sam answered, he took another look at the area immediately behind him, just to make sure nobody else was there. I could've sworn---
"Not in the mood?" Stinky asked.
Sam turned his attention back to Stinky and said, "No, I'll join ya. One sec."
Sam then proceeded to step into the pond after Stinky. Surprisingly, the pond water wasn't too cold - it was quite refreshing.
"Well..." Sam sighed. "Guess we're gonna have to go get some towels after this."
Stinky laughed. "Hahaha, yeah right? Man, Mom and Dad are probably gonna give me an earful for this."
"Just tell them it was an accident, they'll understand."
"I guess so."
Bubbles then started to form around Stinky. Sam chuckled and asked, "You, uh, planning on making the pond a jacuzzi?"
"Dude, I wish!" Stinky exclaimed. "That'd be so cool! Imagine, a giant butt-powered hot-tub!"
"Maybe you and Dylan can come by sometime and see how it pans out?" Sam joked.
"Yeah, totally!" Stinky unironically agreed.
The two continued to laugh amongst themselves for a few minutes, as they decided to embrace their time in the pond. The weather and temperature of the water made it more ideal than either of them anticipated, even with clothes on. It was surprisingly relaxing.
The two would attempt to float on the surface on the pond of their backs, occasionally splashing each other with water. Needless to say, they were having a blast. But then, suddenly--
