"Sephy! Ooh, Sephy!"
"Stop it!"
"Ooooh!"
"Said stop it! Dear God, man - put your pants back on!"
Lexi folded his arms boldly against his chest, and grinned shakily. He was shivering from head to food, sending ripples rolling across the disturbed, glassy water of the pool beneath the fall. Little beads of moisture clung to his dark hair, and thick lashes, water droplets ran down his pale arms, and toned chest.
"If you don't be quiet, Sephy, I'll take off my boxers too!" Standing mid-thigh deep in the water, he pinged the waistband of the rather garish pink and red heart-print boxers, and laughed. Serphius almost giggled, and shook his head disapprovingly. He himself was stripped to the waist, black jeans rolled up to just below his skinny knees.
"Ooh, come in! Come on! The water's lovely...honest!"
"If you weren't shaking like the last leaf in autumn, I might just have believed you," Serphius said from his lofty perch on one of the greenish slippery rocks, a little above the spring. He swung his legs quite happily, tipping his trilby at the pouting Alexys, and laughed at those appealing pale brown eyes. He wasn't laughing, however, when a strong firm hand wrapped itself around his left ankle, pulling, and yanking until his fingers slipped, and he slid from the rock, and with a loud, and large splash, landed head first in the freezing water. Not a moment later, he was on his feet, staggerings, spluttering and gasping like a poor drowned soul, and looking like a poor drowned rat. Scraping his dripping dark hair from his wide, and bemused black eyes and groping for his hat, which had disappeared into the depths, he gawked at Lexi, before apparently regaining the power of speech.
"You bastard! You complete and utter bastard!" He cried, "I'm wet - it's bloody freezing! Oh, I hate you! I hate y - !!!"
He was unable to complete his sentence, because he was bowled off his feet, falling back into the water, this time accompanied by his friend.
"Oh, shut up Sephy! You complain like an old woman!" Laughed Lexi, grinning in such a way that Serphius couldn't help but forgive him, no matter how childish, mean and foolish he may be. Playfully, he splashed Alexys back with a coy smile. One thing lead to another, and that happened to be a full scale, loud and energetic water fight. They were certain that their whooping laughter, appalled yelps, cries of surprise and joyful splashing could be heard for quite some way.

"We're going down to the waterfall, aren't we, Dest'? Oh yesh we are, oh yesh we are..." The sweet voice of a sixth year Fina could be heard as she cooed down at the wriggling puppy in her arms. "Aren't you just the cutest, sweetest dogger ever? Yesh, a-yesh you are..." Emerald laughed as the little animal whined happily and licked Emerald's chin.
Laughs and shouts from somewhere up ahead made Emerald look up, and Destiny the puppy freeze, ears twitching. Emerald stepped up behind a nearby tree, watching the source of the joyful sounds: two lads around her own age, maybe a little older. So, then, she wasn't the only slightly immature, friendly person in the whole school, it appeared.
"Ahem." Emerald coughed to alert the others to her presence, clipping the dog's lead on and placing her on the ground, stepping forward a little. "Ahem." Another cough. "Hello." It was then that she noticed what the - apparently - more confident young man of the two was wearing: bright, pink, heart-decorated boxer-shorts.
"I thought I should, er, say hello. You know, manners and such..." she said, pausing before continuing with a smile. "And, of course, compliment my current company on their colorful, creative choice of underwear. Very nice." She took several more steps forward, perching on a large gray rock near the pool. "My name is Emerald, by the way."

It took the boys a brief moment of confusion for them to work out where the pleasant voice was coming from, and when they did find out, their reactions were quite different. Serphius was absolutely horrified. He went suddenly very pale, with a faint blush on his cheeks, mortified that a stranger had stumbled upon them - Lexi, naked apart from those ridiculous boxers, himself, topless and held in a strange sort of half-grapple half head-lock by his friend. He tried to pull away, but Lexi had a tight grip on him.
Alexys, on the other hand, positively beamed with delight upon seeing Emerald.
"I can assure you they'd look even better crumpled at the end of your bed," He said, rather cockily. Serphius looked like he was considering drowning himself. Lexi still hadn't let him go. "My name is Lexi. This is Sephy, but he doesn't like being called that, 'cause he's a proper little stiff."
Lexi monkey scrubbed the top of Serphius's dark head with his knuckles, causing him to squirm and thrash.
"Oooh, just wait 'till you let me go! I'm going to hex you absolutely rotten, you little bastard!"
Surprisingly, both of the boys started laughing quite heartily. Both turned their attention back to the girl named Emerald, and Lexi piped up again, "Well, are you, or aren't you going to join us?"

Seeing the expressions on their faces... Oh, God, it was enough to make a mad little giggle escape Emerald's lips, as she snorted and replied to the first thing Alexys said, "I bet they would." She watched them a moment longer, eyebrows raised, obviously considering Lexi's offer.
"Mm, okay then, Lexi and Sephy," she said eventually, grinning and nodding her blond head and, with some difficulty, lifted the large, heavy rock she had just stood up from, dropping it onto the very end of the long lead attached to Destiny's collar. She thought about trotting into the water in her jeans and top but, glancing at Alexys and Serphius, decided otherwise.
Pulling the belt on her jeans open, she slipped them off, realizing that she had left her wand in her dorm - of course- and wouldn't be able to dry them if she got them wet anyway. She took of her gray jacket and her long-sleeved top, leaving her wearing black knickers and a green vest top.
Emerald walked closer to the water, dipping one foot into it and gasping. It was freezing; or, at least, it felt so to her. Blinking, she took her chances, taking a run and flinging her body sideways into the water, going underneath completely and soaking herself. She came up shuddering and spluttering and gasping once more. "W-wow. Cold, huh?"
{Again, may have mistakes... -tired-}

Serphius, who had stopped struggling, and now just looked like he was caught up in some over-zealous hug with Lexi, nodded rather lamely.
"You could say that," He muttered, and with one swift movement, brought a bony elbow swiftly up into the ribcage of the older boy, which left him reeling, winded and gasping. Serphius pushed him away, messaging his neck casually as he watched him topple backwards into the water, bearing the smallest of smirks.
"May I say what an adorable little dog you have. May I ask what it's called?" He asked as Lexi managed to his feet behind him, rubbing a neat bruise where Sephy had gotten him which was already alarmingly purple. He was scowling ferociously.

"Yeah, you could." Emerald stood up in the water, which came up around her waist, and crossed her arms across her chest. She watched the boys, now just one eyebrow raised, and her eyes widened slightly at the violent elbowing Lexi received, and the casual manner Serphius acted in afterwards. Oh well, he seemed... Alright. Apart from the bruise, and all.
Boys.
"She's called Destiny," Emerald replied, gazing over fondly at the puppy, who was straining against the lead, whining and crying pitifully. "I would let her out, but she's young, and I wasn't sure if you guys liked dogs, or what." She shrugged. "You know, seen as we've just met and stuff."
Shrugging again, she gathered her wet hair higher into it's bobble, securing it tightly into a messy bun, light strands falling around her face.

"Oh, I quite like dogs. But Lexi doesn't. Bad childhood, experience, you see. Isn't that right, Lexi?" Serphius said, looking over at his glowering friend with quite adoration and subtle mocking, who merely grunted in reply, still being rather short of breath. Serphius smirked.
"He still wont tell me what happened...Makes me suspicious, really....So! Emerald! Such a curious name. So very lovely, it is as well, just as the gem is. Tell me about yourself - you seem quite interesting."

O.o.c// Couldn't help myself...had to post here...hope you guys dont mind...if you do I will just delete my little post
B.i.c//
"Well, isn't this a regular party" a soft voice cooed from the rough beaten path, strolling quite luxeriously Gaara moved toward them all. Hands were stuffed into pockets that seemed so tight it was remarkable that Gaara got them in there. A little half smirk was on his lips, a rather signature mark of his own. Almond shaped eyes watched them all with good humour, and he tilted his head slightly. Multi-coloured locks shifted, and covered one eye. The other kohl lined one gazed at them all, and he chuckled. He had just noticed that Lexi was in his boxers, and the small asian boy was having trouble not bursting into a fit of boy giggles. He finished his loping walk down to them, and sat himself down on a rock beside the water, his elbows resting on his knees.
Gaara simply blinked at the dog, unsure what to make of it. Although Gaara genuinely liked animals, he was a little weary of them. He had studied them as a kid, and found them completely as unpredictable as humans. Eyes travelled up to the presumed owner, and he gave her one of his cheery smiles, making him seem more like a girl then ever. He wasn't sure if he was interrupting anything, frankly didn't care much. Maybe they were the ones interrupting his peaceful walk with their whooping and hollering? Not likely, he waited for a reply from anyone in acknowledgement that he was there. He swayed slightly, as if to a tune in his head. Some found it best to explain Gaara as a little wild. Not in the sense of partying and such, but that he seemed to fallow his own rules rather then those of society, not really caring how others peirceved him.

Emerald let out another insane, high giggle, clearly wondering where the dog had bitten Lexi to make him dislike them so. "Yes, so," she said, glancing at Alexys with one amused blue eye and pulling herself together with a few more stifled snorts of laughter.
"Interesting? Oh yes, that's me..." she said sarcastically with a chuckle. When he mentioned her name, she pulled a face - one which, this time, didn't quite hide the sadness inside - and replied, seemingly debating with herself whether to tell him or not, "Ah, well... it's not my real name." She pulled a face. "My real name is Charlotte, but... yeah, everyone calls me Emerald, 'cause... er, I want them to." She finished lamely, with a nod and a smile back on her face.
"You want to know something about me..." This was more of a statement to herself than a question to Serphius. "Well... I have four - no, five - five brothers and sisters. One is at this school in seventh year; Lareina. Another is Adeline; the Headmistress." Emerald grinned stupidly as she said this, as if she knew that she shouldn't tell anyone but did it anyway. "I have a dog- as you know. I have blond hair- most of the time. And... I have blue eyes- all the time." She crossed her arms, smiling. "Enough about me? Good. Now, tell me about you." The last part sounded like more of an order than a request... but oh well.
Before Serphius could answer, though, Gaara arrived on the scene, and Emerald's curious gaze was placed upon the Asian boy instead. She straightened her top and knickers, making sure that she was covered enough to not startle - scare, more like - this new arrival, one whose name she did not even know. She grinned back at him as he smiled happily down at her.
"She won't bite," Emerald called to him, noticing the boy's apparent wariness of Destiny. "I could hurt you more," she laughed to show that this was a joke. "She's just a puppy, anyway. Pet her, if you want." There was a small pause, before Emerald quickly filled the silence once more. "You should come in with us, by the way. It's not too cold... I mean, come on, look at me and Lexi!" She sure didn't mind someone else coming in, new that she was herself, and she was sure the guys wouldn't, either.
{Is it... is it me, or are my posts strangely long? I must like Emerald. ^^ -hugs-}

"Uhm...yeah...I have a brother and a sister, and I'm the oldest of triplets...I hate my f-family...My cat is called Vamplew, my hair and eyes are b-black and...and...oh...oh..." Serphius trailed off rather suddenly when he heard the soft little voice above them. He looked up, and blushed rose to the roots of his hair when he saw who it was. Shakily, he lifted a hand, "H-H-Hi...."
Lexi followed Serphius's gaze, and was mildly surprised to see Gaara. He looked slightly awkward, and shifted from foot to foot, suddenly feeling quite exposed, standing just in his bold underwear, bruised and dripping wet. His line of vision flickered from the pretty boy, to Emerald's little dog near him, and back again. He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know why Serphius was stuttering and shaking like he was twelve.
"Yes, yes, do come in! Swimming trunks are not a necessity, as I'm sure you can very well see."

With the girls assurance Gaara gently stroked the dogs forhead with his palm and thumb then turned back to the others. Hazel eyes watching them, he chuckled as Serphius turned a rather pretty shade of pink. Then Lexi's nervous shift, Gaara was rather good at assessing peoples behavours...same with animals. "Oh don't get embarresed till the pretty little asian boy shows up! Maybe I should embarress you more, its cute when you stutter." Gaara commented rather dramatically, then said the last part as a jest.Being invited to swim, then hearing Lexi's bright comment he chuckled and stood up. He eyed the water for a moment, knowing full well that the water was probably freezing cold. "Very nice boxers Lexi, maybe you should wear those to school rather then the uniform?" Gaara chuckled, he was in the teasing mood and would play along with what ever at the moment.
Too bad it wasn't ice, Gaara had already returned to the ice hall a couple times just to twirl on the magnificant surface. He shrugged, and muttered "Sure, why not". Down dropped his black jeans, exposing his black boxers with the pink skulls. Yay for black and pink! White dress shirt was kept on, he wasn't feeling brave enough to get in past his waist in that cold liquid. He stepped down into the water, with the comment "Ice is more fun..." and managed to wade in to about the bottom hem of his boxers, unsure if he really wanted to go any deeper in. Goosebumps rose on his arm and the back of his neck. Gaze turned to the girl, "What would the lovely ladies name be?" he asked, for he just realized he didn't know.

Emerald turned and shot a funny look at Serphius, thoroughly surprised with the boy's reaction to Gaara. What was with them both? They seemed even more embarrassed than when she'd turned up. That was odd... She the turned back to watch Gaara gently stroke Destiny, smiling as the puppy drew back a little, sniffing at the Fina's fingers before whining and letting him pet her softly.
Emerald giggled again as Gaara mentioned Lexi should wear the boxers instead of a uniform, and she said, "I whole-heartedly agree with that! Not just the fact we'd be able to see almost all of you," She grinned. "But also the look on Professor Andrews' face... Oh, I think I'd laugh myself to death..."
She watched as Gaara undressed and stepped into the water, and said with a little disbelieving smile, "Merlin, am I the only one with boring underwear?" She flicked the black knickers with a look of distaste on her face, which were clinging to her skin with the water. "Mine're so boring." Lightly flicking a couple of drops of water at Gaara, she replied, "My name is Emerald. Did you tell me yours?" She had a strange inkling that she already knew it, but couldn't place it...
Still waiting for Gaara to reply, Emerald slowly waded to one of the rocky sides of the pool, which she climbed and sat on a small ledge, her feet dangling a meter or two from the water, dripping.

Serphius looked quite startled, and cast his eyes downwards, looking at the water, looking at the surrounding vegetation, even glancing at the semi-clad Emerald and Lexi - anywhere but those damn boxers!
"I-I can quite a-a-assure you all that m-my underwear is not t-terribly exciting...." he mumbled, fingers playing with the button on his jeans. Not undoing it, just playing with it to keep his fingers busy.
"Ooh, but I must disagree with you there, Sephy," Alexys interjected with a wicked little smile, "I've seen some of those saucy little garments you own, and I do say they're anything but 'not t-terribly exciting'. I almost choked on my own tongue the first time I saw those ones with the l-"
He trailed off when he saw the way Serphius was glowering at him, like he was deciding who to drown first - himself, or Lexi. His pale cheeks were blushing apple red again.
"Ooh, er...Sephy, have I ever told you I love you?" He added quickly, in some feeble attempt to douse his anger. Serphius merely rolled his eyes, and looked away. He could be so embarrassing at times...But it only seemed to be when they weren't alone. When it was just the two of them, he was so much different! He was sweet, and gentle, and funny. In company, well, he bordered on down right obnoxious at time, particularly toward him. He sighed. It was like he felt the need to...to show off, or something!
