[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You're too much, Paul," she grinned, lowering her hand.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Too much?" he scoffed. "Impossible."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Really?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Really."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't think so."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Sucks for you."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Does it?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yep."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I see."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Great,"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She rolled her eyes at him and chucked the pebble at his face.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul held his hand up to shield himself, but just ended up pushing her instead.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine fell back into the water, not so quick to react as he did, and her eyes widened in surprise. She let out a shriek as her legs were pulled out from under her and she was pulled underwater.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul swore under his breath, watching helplessly as she went under. He thought it was just her trying to scare him at first, but she didn't resurface.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine fought the creatures that grabbed at her ankles. She looked up at the surface slowly fading away and started to panic.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((is he supposed to dive in after her and be all heroic?))
((hi, btw))

Paul leaned over the side of the water's edge, trying to see her, anything that would help him figure out where she was.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((not quite sure..hmm..))
((heys, not really here))

Jasmine could feel the burning sensation in her neck act up again and she winced, but fought harder.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((awww.))

He shouted her name irrationally. He knew it would do little to help, but maybe her ability would make it so that she could hear him. She could survive underwater, couldn't she? Maybe nothing bad would happen.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine felt their grip loosening on her and she took the chance to swim to the surface. Unfortunatly, she only had time to shoot her hand out of the water before she was brought back down.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul saw her and grabbed wildly for her wrist, trying to haul her back up to the surface.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine felt like she was in the middle of a tug-o-war competition. She grasped Paul's wrist as well, hoping that she could use his body as an anchor to get herself out.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul felt a wave of relief that he did indeed grab ahold of her wrist, and proceeded to try and pull her out of the water.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

After a great deal of effort, Jasmine managed to haul herself out of the water and onto shore. She dragged herself a few feet away from the edge, before collapsing, her fish tail flopping madly.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He swore loudly and went over to her. "Gah, Jasmine, I'm so sorry."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She was gasping violently, her hands wrapped around her throat. She closed her eyes tightly, then shivered and rolled onto her back. "It's..fine.." she wheezed inbetween heavy breaths.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"It sure as hell is not. You're freezing. Are you able to breathe in the air?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She shook her head, then doubled over. As much as she needed oxygen, she wasn't going back in the water.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Ah, shit, what am I supposed to do now if you can't go to the water?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((what's that movie about the mermaid? Aquamarine? Dude, I was thinking we could do the same thing xD))

"Bathtub," she coughed, "Do you have one?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((i don't remember that movie. I remember watching it and reading the book, but other than that, nothing. haha.))

"Somewhere, yeah," he replied. "Isn't there one in your house?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((lolyeah))
((aren't they in australia?))

"Grammma won't let you in.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((they are? Oops.))

"All right, I'll get you to one. Just... keep breathing." For good measure, he took a handful of water from the pond or whatever it was and poured it over her neck.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She nodded, breathing a bit easier. She closed her eyes and tried to slow down her heartbeat, calming herself enough so that she wouldn't waste the air in her lungs.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He poured some water, just in case, and then set off as quickly as possible while carrying her along.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine felt weak and she started to shiver uncontrollably. She bit her lip and buried her face into Paul's neck.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul hugged her close to him, apologizing again under his breath as he made his way towards Callie's house. She was sure to have a bathtub there. It was a house, after all.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((haha, then callie should walk in and be like 'whos the fish in the tub?'))

Jasmine started coughing again, but wasn't able to do much about it.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((XD yess))

"It's okay, we're almost there," he murmured, moving a little faster. Shit, she couldn't die like this. No way in hell.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Paul," she murmured his name almost inaudibly, shivering once more.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"What is it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She said no more, her lips mouthing words but with no sound coming out. She wheezed in a breath.

((get her in a tub, im stalling xD))

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((gotcha))

He swore again as he ran up the stairs to Callies house and burst through the door. Just as well, no one was home. He rushed upstairs and set her down in the bathtub as he started to run the water.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine sighed in relief as she felt the water against her skin ((scales?)). When the water was to the brim, she sunk her head below the surface, shutting her eyes.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul relazed a bit and sat down on the side of the bathtub, looking down at his feet. He felt like shit for causing this.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She resurfaced and looked over at Paul. She gently put a hand on his face, turning his chin so that he looked at her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Paul looked her right in the eyes, his expression still rather miserable.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Jasmine searched his face for something, then frowned slightly and sunk back into the water. She didn't have anything to say to him.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Oh, now he really felt like crap. "I'm so sorry, Jasmine," he murmured, resting his face in his hands.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

She didn't reply, unable to hear him under the water. She shut her eyes and tried to relax.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

Callie burst into the room just then, making Paul jump and fall back into the water. "What the hell was that for?" he spluttered, struggling not to fall on top of Jasmine.
"Ah, sorry. Your facial expression was priceless you know," she giggled. "Who's the fish?"
