A shark? Here? Was that even possible?
He was about to look around when Destiny said that he wasn't a shark. It was true. If Carter was a shark he'd know.
Then Gold said he'd bite. Why would Gold think that he'd bite Destiny? Was he supposed to? You were supposed to listen to your Prefects afterall.
Hmm... maybe he'd just growl like a shark.
Did sharks growl?
Carter didn't know. And that was even more proof he was NOT a shark. "It's true. I'm not a shark." he said.
Shark problem = Solved. Unless.... Gold was a shark and she was trying to throw them off... Gold had not said Carter was a shark. She had subtly suggested that he could be.
Subtly. You know?
"You're not a shark," she agreed. "You're a Lion!" See? It was a win-win situation for her, either way!
....
Did Carter rawr?
"Carter, can you roar? Quote:

Lainey summoned her lawn chair from the raft and took a seat in it. All this sailing and sun was tiring, right? She should have packed a snack, really. "Just grab a seat here around me, it's too warm and we're all too wet to traipse back to the room at this point. We'll try to fit a lesson - another lesson - in here. So sit, sit, think warm thoughts and we'll finish up!" Looked like it was time for a second landing! Gold, wet but happy because she had had fun - because she was still having fun - shook more water out of her hair, as she pinned it back again. There. Hair pinned, at the back of her head. Out of the way.
GOOD.
"Looks like we're headed back to the shore," Gold said to Eli, as she fed the sail its diet of awesome, hot air and they sped back to the place they had turned back from. This time, though, Gold was glad it was smooth sailing all the way across. No bumps, no overboard First Mate Jarod, no toppled Captain Laksh, nothing. Who had made her the Captain of this raft, anyway?
No idea.
But maybe it was because she could swim?
Possibly. Text Cut: Destiny!Awesomeness Quote:

But it was okay! Gold had spoke up..rather loudly, and Destiny stopped moving her head. What the Prefect had said made her turn to Carter and glaaaaare at him. "He wouldn't DARE bite me." she muttered to herself. What if he had RABIES?
She picked up the oar Marie had mentioned earlier and held it out to show Gold, "Don't worry Gold! I'll stay safe with THIS!" She would clobber the Carter Shark over the head.
And then Carter decided to speak up.. Now, after hearing what he had said, made her realize he was a shark. Only a shark would LIE and say he wasn't one. She made the 'I'm watching you' gesture towards the shark boy.
She WOULD be watching. Hehehe. "But Lion!Sharks can eat WOOD," Gold said. Oars are made of wood, no? "I've heard they can eat metal, too," she added, to stay on the safe side.
...... "Can I pick up your duck floatie, if it comes my way?" Because the floatie was. Quote:

Just in case they forgot. "SO... we sailed across the lake on vessels and boats and rafts that we built ourselves." She stretched her legs out in front of her and rest her arms behind her head. "Did you find that difficult?" OOH. Gold waved a hand in the air, and resisted the urge to jump up and down on the raft. She knew that could send herself or Eli overboard again. But for now, the raft continued to sail, smoooothly and quite prettily.
Prettily. That was important.
"It was fun, Professor," she said, cheerfully. Because it had been. "It would have been more difficult, if Eli hadn't helped me build the vessel. But we shared the work, which made things easier." She paused, and then added, "I liked the experience." Sun and lake. Lovely combination. "... and I realized that, even though things don't always go the way one thinks they will, one can still have plenty of fun, and even learn, pick up something new and useful, in the process."
She continued to feed hot air to the sail. They were there, now. The wind on the raft, and in her ears, and all around them. Time for the second, not-so-bumpy but still amazing, landing. |
