Kaycee smirked. Yes. She had fantastic ideas. She knew. She flipped some hair over her shoulder to prove her unspoken point.

Wait. Was he going to do it to her? It didn't really have the same effect if she knew he was there.

Sure enough, there he was. She sunk slightly into the pit and waited for him to resurface. With that stupid smirk of his.

"Not quite. More like giving ankles a little tug when they're not expecting it. You know, to give them an enjoyable little scare."

And by enjoyable, she of course meant for them not the victim.

If he saw the hair flip he would have rolled his eyes again because they were just that worthy of one. But since she knew he was doing it. No surprise would be seen and he even got constructive criticism on him trying to be a foam monster.

"Not quite. And here i thought a was an excellent foam monster....If i ever want to improve my foam monster skills. I will give the ankles a little tug."

Though who would know the next time he would even come here.

It was only by chance he even found this place.

Kaycee laughed. "I guess foam monster isn't your future career. Sorry." She smiled again before looking him over.

"So. Should we climb and then jump?" she asked. "I may need a little help out." She looked around. Where was the ladder? She wasn't sure how to feel about Dante being right there to watch her struggle her way out of the pit.

Maybe he'd be a gentleman and help her out. Yes?

Sabbath walked casually into the training hall, he'd been couped up in classes and guitar practice and he felt it was time to use some pent up energy and work up a sweat. He glanced around the hall while tying his long hair into a messy bun at the nape of his neck. Ahh, It felt good to be out of school robes and he was ready to play. There were a couple of people already on the obstacle course and Sabbath glanced around wondering if there was anyone here he knew. He started to stretch his hamstrings, bending over and touching his palms to the floor.

"It is a shame and here i thought it was what i would be doing once i leave Hogwarts"

Dante was of course being over dramatic. And what she wanted to leave already. Date was just getting comfortable in this foam pit. Well he was not really feeling the need to be a gentleman at the moment. He was more in a competitive mood.

So...

"Race you out of here"

He said smacking her butt and quickly trying to climb his way out.

Kaycee laughed again. "I know. I'm a heartbreaker." she joked.

Oh wait. No. She needed help out. And that was not helpful Dante. She wobbled and nearly fell back over into the pit. Luckily, she managed to catch herself. Not so luckily, she couldn't hide the half smirk on her face, which, was of course, due to the fact that she didn't fall over in surprise. Or fall over at all.

Climbing out of foam pits was hard.

"I hope you're prepared for payback, Dante." she said following. At a distance. Did she mention climbing out of foam pits was difficult?

Noelle had heard about the foam pit. A .... Foam pit......

There was no way Noelle was missing the chance to play in there. Obstacle course or no. Racing down the corridors, managing to actually find her way for once, Noelle skid and found THE OBSTACLE COURSE!

Noelle spotted a familiar face. And his man bun. Hehe. Noelle stepped up beside him doing some stretching thing on the floor. Bopping his man bun, she giggled. Bending, she put her palms on the floor too and stretched. "Are we supposed to be doing this orrrrrrr..?" She asked and glanced over at Sabbath with a grin.

"Please, i am always prepared"

And it did look like she could use all the help she could getting out of here. Though Dante was already hoisting himself up and with the upper body strength he did not know he possessed. He was out of the foam pit.

"Does the Lady need help out of the pit or are you content to stay there?"

Dante asked smirking.

He could sit here all day if she was not going to answer him. This was entertainment.

Kaycee fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Please. You just haven't been on the receiving end with me before." Not in a bad way at least. This was going to be way worse then pouty eyes and lowkey secrets.

She watched him get out of the pit. How? She kept sinking in. She fumbled a little further. She looked at him with pouty eyes. "Stop smirking." Except, not really. She was sure it was funny. It just didn't feel that way at the moment.

She tossed a foam block at him. "Oh. You planning on being a gentleman now?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Oomph! Who was that, bopping his man bun!!?” Sabbath was jolted from his internal monologue. With a cute giggle, Noelle had sidled up to him and started stretching. Sabbath straightened and cracked an enormous grin, “Hey, Noelle!” He laughed and bumped her with his hip playfully.

Are we supposed to be doing this, orrrrr…? she asked grinning and glancing his way.

“Orrr..?” He replied grinning mischievously, “Or, the last one to the foam pit is a rotten egg!” He turned and ran backwards a few steps, taunting her to follow before turning and running towards the foam pit, laughing out loud.

While it was true he had never been on the receiving end of what we shall call her version of payback. He was having too much fun right now to even give it a thought.

And he wont stop smirking until she would at least get half away out of there and yes he was in the mood to help now.

"As a matter of fact i am now. That is if you want the help?"

He said dodging the foam brick and laughing. Then he reached out a hand for her to grab onto.

Hip bumping.

Sabbath just hip bumped her. Noelle grinned but before she had time to hip bump him back, he was taking off. AND TAUNTING HER?! What was this ridiculousness?!

Oh it was so on.

"Come back here!" Noelle giggled and took off running after him. She would NOT be the rotten egg. She managed to catch up with him because he was running backwards, bad idea, he could have accidentaly fell. She was totally going to be him.

Way to be a supportive friend, Dante. Kaycee rolled her eyes in response to his smirks. And if she wasn't pretending to be upset, she might have commented on his foam brick dodging skills.

She'd probably include a joke about girls wanting guys with skills.

"I might want help." Kaycee replied. She looked at his hand for a second considering her options. She then took his hand.

AND TUGGED.

Back into the foam pit with you, Dante.

While he was busy larking about, Noelle had skirted past him. “Oh what! No way, get back here, you!” he laughed aloud, following her with his eyes and taking chase. He could see her hair flipping out behind her as she streaked ahead of him toward the foam pit. She was little but she was quick… and it looked like he was going to be the rotten egg!

With a grin, he stepped up the pace as he was planning to accept his new eggy title with a running somersault into the foam pit… "Bombs away!" he yelled, has he tucked up his legs and aimed towards an empty area of the pit. His bomb dive made him sink far down below the surface of the foam chunks.

Noelle laughed as she skirted past him. Sticking her tongue out at him from over her shoulder, she dove into the foam pit. Only... She was small and didn't go and deep as she wanted. Moving foam blocks aside, she scurried in lower and tried to hide among the blocks.

Hehehe. You can't see Sabbath!!

Noelle tried to be silent, which was hard for her. She didn't know where Sabbath was. She couldn't hear him yet either. Staying still, which was also hard for her, she strained to hear him. She was going to scare him!

Que evil laughter. In her head.

You know, he was being serious about the help and all. But no, of course she did not want it. She just want to force him back in the foam pit. To be honest he should have saw that coming from a mile away

"I call Foul Play!"

He said throwing a block at her

"And here i thought you wanted to get out of here."

She was full of surprises today.

He heard her stifle a giggle and go silent, Sabbath knew exactly what Nelli (that's what he called her now) was up to and smirked to himself. ‘Ha, he was going to beat her at her own game’. After his bomb dive, he was already deep down in the foam and could hear her above him trying to wriggle sneakily down to hide.

He reached his arms up through the foam chunks - quietly, quietly…

Suddenly, he grabbed her ankles and pulled her downwards under the surface towards him, “Ra!! Gotcha” he laughed as he squeezed her in a bear hug. He noticed how she smelled of strawberries.

Kaycee laughed. "You should have established the rules before we started, then." she said with a grin. "You're the one that's supposed to be a cunning snake, remember?" Hiss hiss.

She closed her eyes and didn't bother ducking from the foam block. Thanks, D.

"I said I was stuck." Probably. She didn't remember. "I also changed my mind. You called me a lady. I didn't realize you noticed." she said tossing a foam block back at him.

Okay, she did know because he let her get away with stuff.

Now would be the perfect time to make a graceful pass by. But instead it was a wobbly half sinking half leaping mess.

Keeping quiet, Noelle shut her eyes. She couldn't hear him... why couldn't she hear him?! She lifted her head a bit in the foam pit to try and decipher where he'd gone. She didn't see any foam balls moving... hmm... He didn't die did he??

About to get nervous, Noelle felt her ankle being grabbed and let out a squeal. She felt herself being dragged down and then felt herself being hugged tight. She laughed. "SABBIE YOU SCARED ME!!" She said poking his side before hugging him back.

"I thought you had suffocated!" And Evangeline not have been cool. Noelle would have lost her friend. She pouted a bit, but now because she didn't get a chance to tackle or pull him under. And she was supposed to scare him. No fair.

“Awww, come on now” he said to her, gently squeezing her hand, he didn’t want to see her upset. He smiled, “It’d take a whole lot more than that to choke the life out of me.. besides I’m safe, I’ve got you here to save me”.

He pulled an exaggerated sad puppy dog face at her, “You would try and save me…. wouldn’t you?" He tried to not crack a grin and failed. She was extra cute when she pouted.

He laughed and fell backward into the foam and started waving his arms snow angel style so that he started to submerge slowly “I mean, if I were to start sinking down like this… you’d do what, exactly??" he teased her.

"Well I didn't hear you! And you could have.... I don't know... Swallowed a foam ball!" Even though these massive foam things were about the size of his face. "Or! They could have suffocated you because all around!..... Kind of like they are now." EEP! Claustrophobia setting in!

Noelle popped through the top of the foam and relaxed a bit. She watched as he made Angels. "Of course I'd save you! You're my Sabbie! " Duh. He was silly. She watched as he slowly started going under as he did... Or tried to do the foam Angels. Because all he was doing was moving foam bits around so they engulfed him a bit.

Noelle grabbed a foam ball and threw it at him. "Sabbbbbiiie. Come back out! ". She knew he wasn't in trouble or anything but she reached for his hand anyways and pulled on him. "Dont go under. I might not be able to find you. Also.... Tag! You're it!"

MUAHAHAHAHA

Noelle dives back under the foam blocks and tried going deep but she had to work her arms and legs to get anywhere because of her size.

Gah, how was he suppose to predict that this was going to happen before starting this obstacle course. Of course he couldn't. Not even a ravenclaw could predict this.

"Cunning, yes. Seer, no"

Oh she was stuck now, was she. Well that did not stop her from puling him back into the foam. Gryffindors. "Yes i did realize i called you a lady. Though i have not changed my mind yet."

Dante watch as it appeared she was trying to get by him or something. But Dante had no idea what it was. He reached out to try and steady her.

"You alright?"

Kaycee shrugged. "I'm pretty easy to read." She just did things to win. Or to make him speechless. Or both. Such was their friendship.

She flashed a smirk. "And you don't need to be a seer to bet on that. In fact, you might as well turn in a divination essay on it. 8 inches on how I win."

So they were still going to get out of here. He was also still going to help. Good, Dante. She leaned into him to keep balanced. "These pits are wayyy easier to jump into than to get out of it."

She took a deep breath and looked at him. "We could just stay and live here forever. It's padded, so it'll be a nice place to sleep."

The foam chunk Noelle threw bopped him on the side of the head and he pretended to be knocked out all the while grinning. She grabbed his hand and pulled him forward. ‘Tag… You're it’ she’d called, diving away. He laughed watching her trying to make her way through the foam with her little arms and legs working, and then he laughed even more because she was so adorable.

Sabbath started after her, it really was ridiculously difficult to move through these foam chunks, especially when weak from laughter. “Oh yeah, well, I’m coming to get you” he called, while flailing about absurdly, but not making much progress.

Noelle could hear Sabbie laughing behind her. She wiggles deeper into the foam pits and took a sharp right to try and get away. He was better at moving through the blocks. He was totally going to get her.

But Noelle wouldn't go down without a fight.

She giggled and swam through the foam pit. No wonder this was part of the obstacle course. The was HARD! She tried being quiet but she was giggling to hard. And she was surrounded by foam balls. She was deep enough because that's al she could see. She stopped wiggling to rest her muscles... Holy Merlin this was tiring.
