Chapter 10

"Nick? Krista?" BJ yelled. She had Aaron, Angel, and the guys with her.

"WE'RE OUT HERE!" They both yelled from the back.

"They are out there, together, by themselves, and they are both still alive?" Kevin questioned as they walked outside.

As the eight of them walked out they were met with quite a sight. Nick was under the water and suddenly he came up, right under Krista, putting her on his shoulders. "NICK! PUT ME DOWN!"

"Nope, not on your life!"

"Did any one ever tell you are a royal pain in the ass?"

Before Nick could answer her Brian spoke up. "We tell him that all the time."

"Yeah, no kidding! He just doesn't get it though." BJ added.

"OK, that's it little sister. Chicken fight. You and Brian against me and Krista."

"Your on!" BJ looked at Brian.

"We're going to kick some major butt!" Brian said, smiling at BJ.

"OK, this I gotta see." AJ said, sitting on a lawnchair.

"Hey, don't I get any say in this?" Krista asked, still perched on Nick's shoulders.

"NO!!" Nick, BJ and Brian all yelled. Brian and BJ went inside to change, closly followed by Angel and Aaron, who were just gonna play in the pool.

Just before BJ shut the door to the room she shared with Krista she heard, "NICK YOU CAN PUT ME DOWN NOW!..........I DIDN'T MEAN YOU COULD THROW ME IN THE WATER!" BJ just laughed, happy that they were getting along better.

* * * * * * * * *

"OK, now the rules are.."

"Nick, shut up, we know how to play!" BJ and Krista yelled at the same time. They looked at eachother and started laughing.

"OK, that was scarey. Anyway, are we going to do this now or do I have to be bald and...."

"Brian we don't want to know. Lets start this now." BJ cut him off.

"OK, get ready." Howie said. He, AJ and Kevin were going to the refs just in case they needed them.

Both Brian and Nick went underwater and got the girls on their shoulders. Once up the girls looked at eachother. Nick is taller then Brian and Krista is about the same hieght as BJ.

"Why do I have the feeling that this is going to end in a draw?" Krista asked BJ.

"I dont know. Probably cause we aren't going to try and kill each other and the guys can only try and keep us on their shoulders, they can't fight with eachother."

"Your right. Anyway, lets get this over with."

"Are you all ready?" Keivn asked. They girls nodded and the guys said that they were. "OK......................GO!" Now this was entertainment!

Nick and Brian were trying to keep the girls on their shoulders and splash water at eachother at the same time and the girls were splashing water and trying to knock each other down.

After a few minutes the guys forgot about the girls (How they did that, I have no idea.) and completely let go of them. Krista sent BJ a look, as if telling her what she was thinking. BJ nodded in agreement. And just in time because the guys were so into their water fight that both the girls ended up in the water.

BJ came up sputtering. "BRIAN!" She started splashing water at him and walking towards him.

"Um....oops?"

"I dont think so buddy!" She kept on walking towards him through the water. "You are going to get it no-" she was cut off.

"Uh...guys? Before you kill eachother, um where's Krista?" Nick asked, having realised that he hadn't seen her come up.

"Krista?" BJ got a worried look on her face. Nick was facing BJ, Brian was sorta turned into the both of them, so they formed three-forths of a square. BJ looked over her brothers shoulder and screamed. "KRISTA!!!!!!!!!!"

Both the guys automatically turned to the dircetion that BJ was looking. They both went extreamly pail.

Krista was floating face down in the water, near the deep end.

Nick automatically went for her. Brian started getting BJ and the twins out of the pool and up over where Kevin and the other guys there.

When NIck reached her he turned her over and swam to the side. 'This is going to work perfectly!' Krista thought.

BJ and the twins huddled over by Kevin, AJ and Howie. Nick brought her over to the side and Brian pulled her up onto the pool deck.

The twins were upset. BJ was havin a hard time not laughing. "Shhh, it's OK. She's not really hurt. She is playing a trick on them because Brian tickled her relentlessly yesterday, until she could barly breathe." She told the three guys and the twins. They instantly calmed down.

"But why is she playing a trick on NIck?"

"Well, he was a huge jerk to her the first few days that she was here and plus when Brian was tickling her he just sat there and laughed."

"Oh OK."

"Hey," she said to the twins. "Keep acting like your scared. That way they wont know that somethings up."

Meanwhile.......

"OK, Bri. See if she's breathing."

"You do it. You are the one that knows how to do all this stuff, I don't want to hurt her."

"OK." Brian moved out of the way and watched as Nick checked for breathing, and then a pulse. "Wait a second, she's breathing and she has a pulse...." Nick looked up to over where BJ, the twins and the other guys were. They were trying not laugh. "KRISTA!!!!!!" That was it, she couldn't stand it anymore, she burst out laughing.

"KRISTA THAT WAS NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!" Brian yelled. This only mad her laugh harder. The only people that weren't laughing were Brian and Nick.

"I told you I was going to get you back!" Krista choked out between laughs.

"That was mean. I can't believe that you did that!" Nick said.

"Yeah, I almost had a heart attack." Brian said, standing up. Krista stood up.

"Well, it's nice to know that you care." SHe hugged him. When she realeased him she continued. "But come one guys! I've lived in Florida my whole life you honestly think that I was going to drown in the shallow end of the swimming pool?"

BJ got up and walked over them. "I should hope not!"

The two guys turned towards BJ. "BJ you are going to get it! You knew that she was doing this!" Brian said. He grabbed the younger girl and threw her in the deep end of the pool. She came up stuttering. He was standing at the edge of the pool laughing at her.

"Brian, help me out?" he nodded as helaughed and held out his hand. She took it and pulled him in the pool. "I can't believe you fell for that!"

Krista watched this and laughed slightly. She turned to Nick, who was still pissed. "Nick, look I'm sorry. It was supposed tp be a joke, you know? Ha ha, laugh?" He was trying not to smile.

"Krista, you scared the crap out of everyone! The twins thought that you were going to die and, well BJ knew what was going on, but Brian almost have himself a heart attack. And......And......"

"And what Nick?" He sat down on the edge of the pool and she sat down right next to him.

"You sacred the crap out of me too. I mean we are just starting to get along and then I thought that you were in trouble. I don't know!"

"Look, Nick, I'm sorry. At least we know that if anything like this really happens you are a good person to have around."

He looked up at her and smiled. "You have to promise me that you will NEVER do anything like that to me again!"

"I promise." They linked pinkies and shook on it.

"Awww, isn't that just so cute?" Brian asked BJ. She nodded. "

Brian shut up!" Krista said laughing.

He swam over to where they were sitting. "What did you say? BJ, I think that Miss Krista here looks a little warm......"

"Oh, no Brian!" But it was to late, he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into hte pool. When she suffaced the three of them pulled Nick into the pool. Howie, AJ, and Kevin all went in and changed into their swim stuff and joined them, along with the twins.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in a series of water fights and lots of laughter.
