Open Water (Dani, Sephora)

[The Rock]

Rock was only obeying orders..

Simple orders from a strict training regimen that included fitness exercise every day, and reporting back to the man in charge right after. Which would be a long day..

But..Rock didn't mind those days..

They were the only physical activity he got, after all, between studies. He was told it was to advance what he'd lost. Which in this case..Would be his memory.

The only thing Rock knew..Was his name..How to fight..And how to be active..

The basics, I guess.

Nonetheless, this regimen, given to Rock by his savior, a blue haired ex-militant, teacher at this school. It was a strict one. But Rock felt bad, considering he'd badly injured the man without even realizing it. He had no clue what he'd done wrong..

After all..

He'd just woken up in Nurse Emma's office that fateful night..Er..Day..

Bah, who knew?! It was The Doctor's fault who changed the damn days anyway.

But that didn't matter, since Rock owed Brenner his life..He'd obey every standing move..

Even his hardcore training schedule.

..Running an insane amount of laps..Around the school..

..Pumping so many irons..Without his mysterious ability..

And of course..Swimming..

Bare feet stepped against the deck of the pool, as Rock stared out with those red eyes. Blond hair shifted backwards as he'd just came out of the shower. He smiled, heading straight for the diving board..

One..Two..

Right up to the top board..Making his way to the edge..The shimmering abyss of blue before him..Looked so clear..So peaceful.

Clad in his blue and green camo swim trunks, he began his diving process..

One..

Two..

Three!

And with that, a wonderful dive into the clear blue, his body separating the ripples of the water, as he looked like he'd split the sea of water himself..Bubbles surrounding his body as he swam back upwards to the surface.

Taking breath, he shook the wet blond hair out of his eyes. He began swimming laps.. From the Shallow end..All the way to the deep end.

500 laps..

And go..

Rock took off with amazing speed, performing with great swimming ability, water splashing..

As far as he knew..No one was here..

Yet.

[Dani Vega]

It had stripes. And it was quite cute if she said so herself. A tiny black and white bikini with a black skull on the left side.


Yes, quite cute indeed.

Placing the towel on her arm, Dani walked out of the girl's locker room and into the pool area. She was ready for a swim. For someone who could never die, it didn't mean she couldn't gain weight. The girl still needed to work out.

Burnished copper hair fell in lazy waves down to her shoulder. Green eyes flashed from out the dark lashes, searching for a place to set her towel. She spotted a bench...and a guy.


Running her fingers through her hair, she walked to the deepest part of the pool. Sighing with pleasure she snapped into position and dived gracefully into the pool.



Then she had a thought...





What would it feel like to drown?

[sephora]

Bare feet padded through the lawn, the cement sidewalk forsaken. Her yellow sundress flowed in the breeze, auburn hair in a ponytail. Sephora had finished up for the day and had her mind set on one thing and one thing only. The Pool.

Walking through the doors, she passed right through the locker room, for she had worn her suit here. The girl didn't need any distractions, and surely gossipy girls to laugh at were a good distraction. She did, however, pause at a locker to remove her sundress.

Entering the pool area, she tossed her towel on a bench and surveyed the area. Her dark brown bathing suit had green stenciled flowers all over it. It wasn't a string bikini, the bottoms were cut to cover a bit more than most, though they were still low on her flat caramel abdomen. Walking to the edge, she saw a girl who had just dove in and a boy swimming laps.

Grabbing a funoodle from the side, she tossed it in to be retrieved later. Dipping her delicate toe into the water, Sephora shivered and sprint-walked to the high-dive. Climbing, she paused at the top. She had never gone off of a high-dive before, and was only doing it now on a whim. A terrible terrible whim. Peeking over the edge, the blood rushed to her head as her fear of heights took over. She was a ground girl, sticking to plants and trees. Flying was for the birds.

She considered climbing back down the ladder, but realized what a coward that would make her. Squeezing the railing, Sephora sprinted down to the end of the diving board. With a jump and a shrill "HOLY SHIT!" in Armenian, Sephora cannon-balled off, holding a tight plug on her nose.

[The Rock]

So.

Now, not one..But two lovely ladies had now officially graced The Rock with their presences. One of them wearing a tiny black and white bikini, the other wearing a brown one...But why should they get in the way of his training..?

They're just a couple of girls, right?

He hadn't seen them around before..

..Oh wait.

Nobody's seen The Rock around anyway. Rock continued with his laps..Seemingly noticing the one girl diving in on the deep end. Did he care?

Nope.

However, as he was coming back from the deep end, there was the girl who wouldn't get off the diving board..Or in this case..Wouldn't dive off the diving board..Seemed that she was afraid of heights..

He watched through the corner of his eyes, as she seemingly wanted to step down..

Ok..

So Rock thought nothing of it, swimming back..

And something was screamed in a different language.

Turns out the girl had changed her mind! Rock turned around, only to see the girl plummeting towards him!

*THUD*

*SPLASH*

As both the girl. Along with Rock went down further into the water..

Luckly, she didn't land right on his head, but he was dragged down with her..

...

..Rock made his way back up to the surface, not angry..Seeing as it was his own fault that this girl, dressed in a green bikini, had decided to gain superhuman courage.

Should he wait to see if the girl was alright? Or just continue?

..Just as a funnoodle came and bounced against his face.

-_-;;

[sephora]

The air whipped past her, and Sephora felt her stomach jumping into her throat. There sure was a lot of air in between her and the water. The girl could feel herself turning, for she had never jumped off a diving board before and had absolutely no technique.

Maybe this had been a bad idea...

Opening one of her eyes, Sephora saw the water getting closer and closer. She also saw a body, the boy who had been swimming laps. This wasn't good.

Crashing against him, Sephora's head knocked hard into the boy's leg. Floudering for a moment, she felt the water overcome her and pass above her head. Her limbs were tangled with his and though she tried to get loose, she was extremely dizzy and couldn't figure out how. The girl felt him detach and try as she might, she couldn't figure out how to swim back to the surface. For that matter, she couldn't figure out where the surface was.

Kicking her feet, she slowly lost strength as she hoped that what she saw in front of her was the surface. Sephora couldn't really see, and she suddenly felt the pressue of the water against her eardrums. Hmm, this obviously was not the way to the top.

Turning around as best she could, for she lost all sense of direction in the water, Sephora kicked off weakly. Her lungs were burning and the lack of oxygen in her body was making it difficult to move.

After what she guessed was two or three feet, the girl could no longer move. The ache in her head was overwhelming and the burn in her lungs and muscles made swimming nigh impossible.

Sephora hoped that she would float to the top, as darkness began to tug at her senses.
