This choice: *Writer's Choice* (RESERVED) • Go Back...Chapter #3The Dawn of the Great Water War by: Unknown "So, hear me out on this one..." Jenna began. "Today's a beautiful day out, right? Bright, sunny, a little hot, but not unbearable? Good day to spend some time in the sun, right?"
Lauren nodded with a smile. "It is beautiful weather."
Mari agreed. "I could go for a dip in the pool, yeah. Should we hit up The Oasis?" She grinned down at you. "Does a tan with my little man sound nice, babe?"
You blushed up at her. "Anything sounds amazing if its with you, Mari."
A brief flicker of annoyance crossed Jenna's face, before she cleared her throat and directed the conversation back towards herself. "The Oasis? You two need to think grander! Or, I guess I should say, you two need to think younger!"
Ashley chewed her lip. "Like, what does that mean, Jenna?"
Jenna grinned. "I'm glad you asked, actually! For the past two weeks, I've been buying and successfully hiding from my mom and bro all the supplies we'd ever need to have a water balloon war in the backyard!" She pumped her fist in excitement. "Doesn't that sound awesome?"
"Shit, really?" Mari's eyes widened. "That does sound awesome!"
Jenna was practically buzzing with excitement. "We get to pelt each other with watery weapons, show off our sick dodge moves while working up a sweat, and get to cool down with nice refreshing water on this gorgeous day. It's everything we could want! Plus, our backyard has tons of space!"
Lauren affectionately rubbed her daughter's head. "You've really planned this out, sweetheart. This sounds like a lovely idea, though you'll excuse me if I can't participate in every round. I'm not quite able to move like I used to when I was younger."
Rio glanced at her best friend. "I'll keep you company, Lauren. When you're sitting out, I'll rest beside you. We can always work on our tans."
"You're reading my mind, Rio!" Lauren chuckled.
Meanwhile, you frowned, your arms crossed. "Okay, Jenna, but what am I supposed to do? I can't exactly throw a water balloon, let alone hold one."
Jenna clicked her tongue. "For shame, Matt! You really think you're caring big sis would forget you. Or, oops, sorry. 'Little' sis." She giggled, and her wordplay caused a smile to cross your mom's lips and a laugh to escape Ashley's, much to your annoyance. Your sister really couldn't go a day without belittling you, could she?
"So..." You pressed.
Jenna reached behind the couch where she'd apparently stashed something, and presented a brightly colored box a second later. "Ta-da! It's an official Small Wonders product, hot off the shelves! It's a tiny-sized water balloon pack, complete with little hose nozzle to let you fill up your own balloons, Matt. Then, to top it off, it comes with a little slingshot so you can pelt us from afar! We'll feel the sting, and you get to be far away from any collateral damage!"
Your eyes widened. It...was surprisingly thoughtful.
As you stewed over that, Mari set you down on the coffee table. "Okay, I'm all for this, but what about something to wear? We didn't exactly bring water-ready suits. Especially with how muddy the grass will get once we get started."
"Already covered." Jenna assured her. "I've picked out suits for each of us upstairs, mom and Rio included. Let's go people!" Leading the charge, your sister sprinted upstairs, Ashley and Mari hot on her heels. Lauren and Rio, chuckling at the exuberance of youth, followed.
After ten minutes, the five women descended the stairs, clad in their swimsuit attire. It quickly became clear that Jenna had picked suits that were thus a bit small for their recipients. Lauren was wearing a white swimdress that hugged her tightly, while Rio had on a black strapless one-piece that seemed to barely hold back her toned physique. Ashley was jaw-dropping, her profound proportions turning a modest tan two-piece bikini into a thong and tiny straps that barely covered her nipples. Jenna, with her much slimmer curves, was the only one who truly fit her sleek red two-piece.
Mari truly caught your eye. She was obviously embarrassed about how ill-fitting Jenna's small-sized bikinis were, and so had opted to attempt to cover herself up...for what little good that did. She'd slid into a frayed pair of ripped jean short-shorts so strained against her hips that she couldn't even button them across her crotch, revealing a tantalizing bit of her bright green bikini thong, and not even covering half her ass in the back. Then, she'd hastily tied an old shirt in a front-tie fashion to cover her chest, but again succeeded only in creating a dark framing for the poor green bikini that was about as immodest as Ashley's own.
It was the definition of 'leaving just enough to the imagination' and especially as she was your girlfriend, you couldn't look away.
Mari caught you staring and blushed, struggling to mask her shame with her usual laidback joking attitude. She scooped you up into her palm and lightly flicked your head as a way of chastising you for staring, and you playfully decided to bug out your eyes and stare even harder in an overdramatic display of infatuation, much to her enjoyment and continually blushing.
With everyone properly geared up for a day out in the sunny backyard, Jenna led the party outside. In the yard, it became clear she'd already done some set up, having arranged a huge stack of deflated rubber water balloons beside the hose, with two stools for comfortable sitting while preparing for the impending water war. A tiny table was off to the side, with its own stack of supplies. Clearly, that was your own station, and yet another point in favor of Jenna actually being nice for once.
Mari set you on your table, and then she took up position on one of the stools, readying the hose. Ashley claimed the stool next to her, and the two began a tag-team operation where Mari would fill the balloon and pass it to Ashley to tightly tie it shut. The two girls worked like a well-oiled machine, cranking through water balloons in record time. Lauren and Rio, meanwhile, pulled up chairs a safe distance away and lathered their skin in tanning lotion, prepping their sunglasses for some nice resting and chatting. Jenna, meanwhile, supervised the proceedings and fixed some drinks and snacks.
You, during this time, were happily going to work on your own water balloon stash, beyond pleased that Jenna's Small Wonders invention was working as advertised. Soon, you had your own respectable stash of water balloons ready to fire upon your unsuspecting friends. To test your creations, you loaded up the provided slingshot and let a balloon fly, your little water missile impacting against some of the exposed skin of your sister's right buttock, as she was standing nearby finishing arranging the snacks, a tarp under her arm.
Jenna instantly whirled around and locked eyes with you. A delighted smile crossed her face, and she strolled over, soon coming to stand at the table and peer down at you. Her whole body blocked the sun from you, and also blocked you from viewing everyone else...not that that was some sort of issue, right? Obviously, you'd been overly cautious to blame Jenna for trying to ruin your fun today. She was actually being nice for once!
"Firing before the war starts?" Jenna tsked. "Bad sportsmanship, bro."
You scoffed. "Please, I bet you barely felt that."
Jenna tapped her chin. "'Barely felt it' huh? You think so? I guess you're right. I was kinda worried about this, honestly." Her shockingly serious tone of voice surprised you. Was she really that considered about your participation? If so, it was touching!
"Jenna, it's fine. I'll still have fun."
"Oh, I know you will, Matt. I didn't pay thirty dollars for nothing, after all." Jenna gestured to the Small Wonders tiny-sized water balloon kit.
"Well, you paid it for me, right? Thank you for that."
Jenna gave you an odd look. "You're welcome, Matt, but it wasn't really for you. It was for everyone else to have a legit reason not to think about your whereabouts during our upcoming water war."
"What do you--"
"Which, in turn," Jenna cut you off. "Makes it easier to do THIS!"
Before you could react, Jenna snatched you up in her hands and squished your head flat. She then titled her hand and you fell from her palm, only to fall right into the open puckered hole of a full-size water balloon. Your body slapped against the rubber sack as you fell, settling into the bottom.
Jenna then dumped the water balloons you'd made onto the grass, where they all splattered into an unnoticabel puddle. She then hid the table, and the Small Wonders gear, under the tarp she'd been carrying. Finally, she strolled over and handed you to Mari. Mari grabbed your imprisoning water balloon and, without having any thoght to look, dumped a torrent of ice cold water upon you, cutting off your screams as your prison filled up. After she was done, Ashley tied the balloon tight, locking you inside the slightly-translucent purple rubber prison.
Your balloon was then laid upon a pile of over three hundred, right in the center of the lawn. With Lauren and Rio cheering, Mari and Ashley took up spots on opposite sides, with Jenna taking third point to form a triangle. The three girls shared eager, competitive grins, not a single thought about you in anyone's head but Jenna's, who could merely hope her brother was about to have as much fun as she was.
You, of course, only had a single thought in your head: Goddamn it, Jenna.
What happens next?
1) Ashley grabs your balloon, and her throw goes wild. Your balloon splatters atop Lauren and Rio off to the side.
2) Jenna grabs your balloon, and she nails Mari with a direct hit. You splatter free, only to get lost somewhere on your girlfriend's body.
3) Mari grabs your balloon, but Jenna deflects the throw. Your balloon pops on the grass, and you end up in a muddy puddle beneath the stomping feet and flailing bodies of the three girls.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
