Not many people seemed to frequent the Sanctuary Pool. Lately most of the resident mutant population, at least the men anyway, seemed intent on increasing the physical aspects of their mutations. At least, that's how Amp viewed it. Not that it mattered much, because while they wiled away the hours comparing muscle size and mutation strength in the Gym, it left the pool area blissfully empty.
After changing into deep green board shorts and a tankini top, Amp wasted no time diving into the clear waters. Her momentum carried her nearly seven feet down, after which she power kicked back to the surface. She took a deep breath, then dove back toward the bottom. It took two more repeats to reach the bottom of the sixteen-foot deep structure. After her final surface break she floated on her her back for a few, pulling in deep lungfuls of oxygen. Once her breathing stabilized, she turned over and proceed to start laps, back and forth across the pool's length.
Meanwhile, Vibe lounged on the side of the pool, in a black tankini with a gold coverup wrap. An ipod with earbuds lay on the table next to her. A faint melody could be heard above her sister's splashing, while the longer-haired twin's feet tapped out the mellow beat on the concrete. Her green eyes cast over words written on a notepad supported by her knees. A thoughtful frown crossed her face, and she mumbled around the watermelon Blowpop stuck in her mouth.
Watching the wind caress the trees
Skimming gently ‘cross a restless river
I see a sparkle on the breeze
A flash of color, silent wings that hover
Not a worry, n’er a heartbreak, not a single tear to cry,
What I wouldn’t give to be that carefree dragonfly
Dragonfly, save me from this pain
My tears just won’t stop fallin’, drownin’ out the rain
Dragonfly, can’t you feel this ache?
Don’t know how much more, don’t know how much more I can take
I wanna be a dragonfly
No heart to break, no tears to cry
I wanna be a dragonfly
No heart to break, no tears to cry
"What are you doing?"
>Writing,< Vibe replied silently, without looking up. Amp, balanced on the lip of the pool, snorted.
"Writing. Since when do you write?"
Vibe glanced up, holding her sister's gaze for a brief moment, then returned to her notes. >Why d'you care?<
Amp rolled her eyes. "Please don't tell me you're going all scholarly on me."
Vibe pulled the sucker out of her mouth and pegged her sister with an annoyed glare. "Oh please, don't insult me," she spoke aloud. "I'm just messing with some lyrics."
"Lyrics? Aww, how sweet! Baby Sister writing a love poem for someone? That's so cute!" Amp batted her eyes mockingly, and Vibe rolled her eyes.
"If I was, you'd be the last one to know. And you're only older by half a second."
"You wish. You know you can't hide anything from me. Baby Sister." With a laugh, the shorter-haired twin pushed off into the water again, and started a second round of laps. Vibe rolled her eyes, stuck the candy back in her mouth, and returned to ignoring her sister.(OOC: Background of Vibe's lyrics can be found here.)
