Ghost resurfaced with her sunshades askew and a sputter of water. Luke. Was so in trouble. She gasped and flailed as much as she felt inclined to. In fact, she splashed pretty much everything she could right at the resurfacing Luke. "Raina! You best come get your man before he drowns." Ghost pulled the sunglasses from her face and tossed them aside, ducking a splash from a young boy... girl... in swim trunks?

No matter. Ghost used a gust of air to push against Luke's head so that maybe he would go back under. That was when she spotted it... a bikini top. Wow. That looked eerily familiar. Almost like the one she... wasn't wearing. Ghost ducked under the water quick as a flick. She was grateful to be wearing the scarf. Somehow it had managed to stay looped around her neck when the ill fitting top had not.

The gust that pushed down on luke diverted to push at the pool and make bubbles that went abnormally downward from above the water toward the embarrassed Ghost at the bottom of the pool. She could last there all day thank you very much. Her bikini top floated by its lonesome.

"Thanks Alex, I appreciate it," Dominic smiled gazing over his fixed up hand. His attention was caught as he heard screaming splashing and saw Sam diving in the pool and breaking surface with a blonde girl in his arms. He walked over following Alexandra, also waiting to see if the girl was going to pull through, Though another thing caught his eye. He noticed a bikini top floating loansome across the pool's surface....looked exactly like the one Ghost was wearing. Correction had been wearing. Flashbacks started to run through his head. First Alexandra and Sam, now Ghost and Luke....

He debated on whether he should do what was running through his head right now. The way he had called Alex and Sam out that day, and there were Luke and Ghost in the same situation. Except Ghost was lucky to have a scarf still wrapped about her busom. Although Luke didn't pull Ghost's top off like Sam had with Circe, he was still responsible for the air elemental losing it by bringing her in the pool like that. Hmmm....why not? And there was Raina there too. Bad Dominic, you get yourself in enough mischief...but a little more wouldn't hurt.

"HEY! NO SNOO SNOO IN THE POOL!!!!" he screamed at the top of his lungs, pointing to the blind and white haired mutants. He closed his eyes and took a rather deep breath waiting for whatever was to come with a content smirk on his face.

Koga stopped as he heard a big splash and surfaced to look over at where Sam was pulling someone from the pool, good ole Sam to the rescue. He then looked over and saw A girl in a robe take off her robe to reveal a lot, Most of her suit was see through and she was facing him as she took it off and then turned around, He just saw boobs…or more then he had before. He spun to his left his cheeks flaring red and noted a ten year old Girl that was just in trunks, not exciting but just as embarrassing.

He spun to his left again and there was Ghost just as topless as the girl and grown upthen she was hiding in the water. Her top floated near him and he couldn’t help but notice that she swam downward. He was pretty sure his whole body was red…Conflicted with embarrassment and saving someone else from embarrassment he did the right thing and then he would promptly leave this pool party…He snatched the top out of the water took a deep breath and dove, He glanced to make sure he was going in the right direction and was relieved to see that Ghost had covered her self with a scarf that covered her enough that he didn’t feel so bad about glancing more of her was covered then the robe girl.

He placed his fingers on the pool floor to hold himself there and then held out the top. Making a point to look…at her eyes…at the pool floor. Yup that was safe. The pool wasn’t female and inadequately covered. He waited to make sue she had a firm hold on it and then he would flee before his young mind spontaneously combust from over stimulation.

Kasumi could not help but to beam when she was with Shin well she let her feelings out in the opend form the party. Soon she seen that he is blushing it made her blush a little. Soon her head is resting on his sholder as she smiles more "No it is ok I am just happy that you made it after all." Soon a happy sigh comes form her lips. "I can believe you." Smiles more as she helps him up to his feet. Soon Kasumi blushes more "Thank you.. I never were a bikin before and well not use to showing so much skin I am happy that I look good in it. Soon she poses for Shin as she smiles more.

She nods as she looks at him "Yeah that does sound good." Her pale skin has took on more of a tan color now. Her spots seem to be fading off some. Soon she hooks her arm with Shin as she walks with him. She does not stop smileing. Kasumi moves so soft right now her hips swaying as she walks. Her hair flys behind her as she walks. Kasumi is happy that she looks good in what she has on. Now all of her spots on her body can be seen it is kind of new to her she looks to Shin "You look good also.." She liked seeing Shin with out his shirt and if she had it her way she would see him shirtless more.

Lots of splashing and wiggling was happening since she tried to get to the surface. It didn't work very well though as she was sinking more and more by the second. This was it, she was doomed of nobody came to help her, or would they ?

At the moment of that thought, a young man jumped into the pool and grabbed her. She looked up to him and saw a blurry image of him through the water. Bubbles came from her mouth. The young man grabbed her tightly and pulled her up to the surface. She breathed the fresh air in with big gasps.

“Are you alright?”

The looked at the man who saved her. He seemed like the standard "hero" type kind of person you only see in the movies. Not that she saw to many heroes in her life, or movies for that matter. She nodded in argrement as she caught her breath. She was now sitting in the shallow part of the pool looking at the water thinking about how she was nearly dead by being as stupid as the sit at the deep end of the pool.

Luke surfaced with a splutter and a look of concern. Thanks to his sonar he had 'seen' the other girl fall into the water even as he too went down. Instantly he had released his hold on Ghost and kicked as powerfully he could toward the other young girl but someone else had been faster. Acting like his normal heroic self, Sam saved the floundering girl and quickly took her over to the shallow end of the pool.

Turning his attention back toward Ghost, Luke couldn't help but give her a grin before suddenly a gust of air pushed him under the water. If the white haired woman had understood the way his power worked she might not have attacked him that way when she was rather uncovered down underneath the water.

Suddenly the air blast on his head was gone and Luke was once again surfacing although this time a little bit redder in the face. It was deffinately time to rethink swimming with anyone other that Raina. With the clarity his sonar provided while underwater... well... there wasn't a thing about Ghosty's figure that Luke didn't know.

"HEY! NO SNOO SNOO IN THE POOL!!!!"

"Would someone PLEASE push that kid in the pool and dunk him?!" Luke barked back immediately as he turned and slowly swam over to where Ghost would hopefully soon be surfacing. He could see the lizard guy swimming down toward where the young woman was with a bikini top gripping in his hand but he didn't extend his sonar any further than that. He had already seen more than enough of Ghosty and he deffinately didn't want to be a peeping tom blind man.

"Raina! Next time remind me that childish pranks never turn out well for me!" He called over to his girlfriend somewhat good naturedly before once again returning to treading water as he waited for Ghost to surface.

"I should have had someone sneak into her room and check her bra size." Luke admonished himself, "Maybe then her top would fit right."

The momentary smile went away as several things happened at once. First, Dominic burned his finger on the grill. A torrent of profanity flew out his lips as Kasumi and Shin neared the grill area. Shin's eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights, and he had the sudden feeling someone needed to cover Kasumi's ears... or teach the kid some manners.

"Watch the profanity, Dom! There are ladies here!!" He tugged Kasumi away from Dominic towards Arielle, the much more chivalrous of the two.

"Hey," he smiled at her. "Long time, no see." She looked a little surprised to see him with a girl on his arm, though. Strange. The thought vanished in the blink of an eye as Hell erupted again. Sam shot past Circe as she tended to Dominic's finger, and dove into the pool after Luke and Ghost. He resurfaced moments later, dragging a familiar blond up from the water. She gasped for breath, but she was safe. Ghost, however, was nowhere to be seen. Her top was, though. "Oh dear... Ari, don't look. Ghost just lost her..." Luke flew under the water as a gust of wind whipped the air. "Top..." He finished in a squeak. "Someone needs to tell Luke not to prank people, especially when they have the wrath of gusting on their side... think he already knows..."

Luke called out to the crowd. Shin shot Dominic a dirty look as Luke commented on the 'snoo snoo' reference. First, the table, now... "Huh. Kasumi, remind me what the heck is 'snoo snoo'? The word wasn't covered in my studies..." Not that the connotation didn't give him some clue it was off-color, it's just... He'd give Dominic the benefit of the doubt. "Think someone needs to dive in and help Ghost? An air elemental underwater... probably due to embarassment. Hold on."

He slipped forward to the end of the pool, raising his hands to the heavens. A couple dozen thick red shards hovered over the surface of the pool. Their bodies were solid. No light made it through. Definitely no way anything on the other side would show. It was a real-world version of a mosaic...

"So... um... Hey Ghost. You can blow these shards around a bit if you need some cover to escape? Er... just do what you want here... darn it, Luke!! Why'd you have to make the whole situation awkward!?" He darted his attention from the bottom of the pool back to Luke, and then sighed towards the sky.

He just wanted a burger, darn it! Not fanservice...

When she heard “"HEY! NO SNOO SNOO IN THE POOL!!!!" that’s when she lost her breath, mostly because she had burst out laughing, feeling the effects of water going inside, she immediately shoots towardsthe surface. She floated upwards untill her feet were above water. But due to the fact she was wearing a boy’s swimming trunks, also to the fact that she went up a bit fast, the trunks fell to the water, exposing her body. The kid didn’t seem to notice as she was gasping for breath. She also laughed a bit while this was going on. “ok! Who said that?!” she called out towards any who would answer her.

She also noticed Koga there, but she didn’t know the kid. Caelita floated towards the edge, before noticing her Trunks, she picked them up, squeesed the water out of them, then simply put them on. Not seeming to be embarrased at all. The kid walked onto the ground, and pondered weather to go to the Grill area now or now.

She glanced down feeling her belly grown, and then grabs her jacket, and walked over to the grill, she gets some food before finding a place to sit and eat.

The air jettisoned down toward poor Ghost and formed a lovely bubble around her head. Once she stretched it, the bubble formed a nice little dome and she actually sat on the moist pool floor. This batch of air wouldn't last her forever, but it could last for quite some time. Ghost rearranged her scarf so that anyone with goggles wouldn't get the whole show.

And so she sat waiting stubbornly for the pool party to end.

An angel of color decided to return her bikini, his flushing skin pushing the offending garment through her bubble, dropping it and promptly swimming away. For a brief moment Ghost met Koga's eyes and before he had turned determinedly away, she mouthed the words 'thank you.' Ghost made a note of the decent and kind and virtuous Koga. She would have to find out his birthday and do something amazing for him. He swam away from her bubble-headed operation and something shaded her location.

Ghost looked up and saw through the bending water some kicking legs next to something red. A pool floaty? She couldn't tell. Well her friends were bailing her out from flashing everyone else at least. So really, she couldn't sit and pout at the bottom of the pool, could she? Not when they were helping. Because helping couldn't last forever and they'd get bored and do something else, or something drastic, if she didn't surface soon.

Sigh. Ghost worked on re-attaching this newfangled thing. She hadn't tied it on in the first place and it took a bit of trial and error to figure out how only two hands could get the right strings to the right places. Blah. She was going out to buy a new swimsuit later today if she could. One piece. She was sure if someone were determined it might come off, emphasis on the might, but there would be no accidental flashings.

Finally secure, she re-situated her scarf. She'd tied that one on in the first place and see? It hadn't come off. She may just have to have another chat with her helpful friends.

Ghost let most of the air go, big bubbles surfacing right under Luke's kicking legs. She kept a small attachment around her head like a bubble helmet. Ghost swam with long strokes to the edge of the pool and followed the wall upward to the surface. She stopped once her eyes and nose were just above water and inspected the red pool floaty... which was composed of Shards?

They needed an ice slide or a shard slide up in here. Assuming the shards weren't the cutting kind of course. Ghost waved to Shin and Kasumi and stubbornly hung onto the pool wall. Food would have to wait until later. For now she was trying to figure out some lovely embarrassment for a certain blind man.

"I got probably a few hours of sleep before all the commotion woke me up." Streak said to Fade before his attention was brought to Deathstar as she took the robe off. She was obviously a flirt. And a good one in Streak's opinion. "I thought my statement was pretty obvious with what I wanted." Streak said teasing her. When DS turned around he couldn't help but stare. She was attractive even with the robe on but what she was wearing accentuated her very well. Suddenly he was very glad that he'd come to the pool party. Streak felt like he should be wiping drool off his face and closing his gaping mouth. But he didn't because he knew that he wasn't drooling or had his mouth agape. "W...Well" He cleared his throat. "Well, it looks great on ya." Streak said finally able to get his mouth to move and produce words.

"I'm all for a swim. Should be fun. Where'd we be racing to?" Streak questioned Deathstar. He wanted all the details before she decided to cheat in the race. Streak quickly glanced over both women quickly before deciding that he wouldn't mind chasing either of them. "What do ya say Fade?" Streak said trying to nudge her in the same direction and himself and Deathstar. He doubted that she would pass up the opportunity for a game with either of them. The silver man could only guess that her and DS had been and still were very good friends from before either of them had left the mansion. No matter how long they'd been friends he was glad that both of them were back.

Fade simply smirked as her friend began to flirt and drop her robe. Of course, Deathstar had always craved attention, and she was very fast to offend anyone that did not give her the attention that she wanted. The girl had talent. A sudden urge to laugh took over Fade's system when she watched Streak's reaction to Deathstar's flirting. She grabbed her stomach and buckled her head down, trying to keep from being figured out, she did not wish to insult either of them, it was just something from the movies, a girl slowly sliding off her robe and the boy staring in wonder. It deserved an Oscar!

"A race?" Fade perked up, recovering from her laughter. "First one in the pool is a rotten egg!" It may have seemed that she worded it wrong, in fact, she did, but she was not ready to let them think she worded it wrong. With that, she bit her lip in an interesting way, making the 'oops' facial expression before turning invisible and jumping behind Deathstar. There was already a tussle going on in the pool, but why couldn't they join. Her invisible hands thrusted out and pushed Deathstar in before shouting "Second wins!" and turning visible mid-air on her way into the pool. When she resurfaced, she looked up at Streak and smiled "Oh, sorry, forgot to mention that the race was to the pool, so ya lost."

One thing was for sure, catching Deathstar off her guard was not exactly a smart idea and Fade had a feeling she'd be dunked in just a moment. As she waited for either Streak to jump on top of her or Deathstar to dunk her, a quick thought pierced through her mind and she flailed around in the water, trying to wade to the side of the pool so she could grab on. Fade did not know how to swim! Why she jumped in suddenly seemed unexplainable but she made it to the ladder and caught her breath, not wishing to admit her lack of swimming lessons.

The white haired woman swam under water until her tiny nose popped through the water right near the edge of the pool. Since she wasn't currently addressing Luke he had to assume that she was at least a little bit ticked by his latest prank. Mentally wincing Luke stroked slowly over to the edge, grabbing hold of the pool wall a couple of feet away from Ghosty.

"Sorry about that Ghosty." Luke said as apologetically as he could manage while he tried to fight off the redness that was creeping into his ears and the sides of his neck, "I didn't think that... no... that about covers it. I didn't think. Sorry."

Glancing up, Luke's mind suddenly clicked into gear, reminding him that he hadn't replied to the man that was now standing at the edge of the pool and looking down at Ghost and Luke with what appeared to be concern on his face.

"We're fine... Alec." Luke said, pausing briefly before he remembered how the man had introduced himself a little earlier, "Sorry to everyone for the scare."

Sighing to himself Luke kicked gently to keep himself afloat near the edge while he glanced over to where Alexandra and CS were currently making sure that the young woman Luke had knocked into the water was all right. "Those two would be great for each other." He muttered, not realizing who was nearby and who might hear him, "I wonder how long it'll take them to realize it."

Girl in arms he arrived at the shallow end of the pool and tried to get her to move hoping that she hadn’t taken on to much water. His eyes trailing up to Alex who was now very close to him he shrugged and said, “No idea…” he trailed off as he scanned the woman’s face knowing it was one he had seen a several occasions but never gotten a chance to talk to her before. Well saving someone was defiantly a sure fire way of meeting someone figured Sam as he let the woman sit up in the shallow end.

She nodded she was alright as she did seem to be okay so with a sigh of relief Sam looked down at his soaked tennis shoes and socks and his soaked shirt, “I’m all wet…” sighed Sam as he took off his shirt revealing his bare chest. Looking to Alex as he headed for the exit of the pool Sam asked Alex, “Little help with my sneakers… they are the only pair I got…” taking them off and setting them to the side Sam laid back and let the sun hit his chest as he let out a sigh of relief.

Pulling in a large gasp of air Sam’s body shot straight up so he looked at Luke then Ghost, “Next time make sure no one is in the way!” he said as he stood up and shrugged, “Might as well hop back in seeing as I am already wet….” With a running start Sam ran towards the deep end and dove into the warm pool water.

Deathstar was flattered by Silver streak's admiration of her body, in fact, she didn't work-out so much just so she could can be a viable member of the x-men team, she also did it because she loved the attention from the guys. With her hands on her hips Deathstar nodded at Streak's attempt to get Fade to join in on the race, getting ready for the friendly race she stretched her body forward resembling a human triangle to loosen and lengthen her muscles. Deathstar is very competitive, she must win everything, even a small competition, she must be number one.

As Deathstar prepared to dive in the water and defeat her competition, she felt a quick shove, enough momentum to knock her in the water. A big wave splash back at Silver streak as Deathstar's body fell into the water, gasping for air, she resurfaced smoothly running her fingers through her hair looking at Streak as if he was the culprit, "I Know you didn't.....", she stops talking and notices Fade straddling to the side, remembering her words as her body plummets into the pool, she knew then that Fade had done the deed. "I should have known Fade did it, she always has to cheat to win", she said now finding the situation hilarious. "It's on Fade" she said with a smile before looking back up at Silver. "Are you going to join us or what?, who wouldn't want to jump into a pool with two hot girls", Deathstar says while still wiping the water from her face, she again notices Silver Streak's well defined body, and silently smiles to herself.

"OK!, we will race from this end of the pool to the other end, no using mutations or you will have to answer to me, got it!", says Deathstar, spouting out the rules of the race. She picks up that Fade wasn't a very good swimmer from the technique she used to get toward the ladder, and the way she wasn't hugging it for dear life sure wasn't fooling Deathstar. "Fade!, I hope you can keep up?", she asked, not wanting to embarrass her by asking if she can swim or not.

“I’m all wet…”

She was all wet too. "me too." She responded and gave him a smile. Or well atleast a smile that can only be pulled by someone who almost drowned. She was happy to be out of the deep end again and happy she could play at the shallow end.

She quickly saw people passing by out and in of the pool. Allot of things happened, people getting shoved into the pool, people racing each other. It all sounded like allot of fun if you could swim. Now she wanted to learn how to swim more then ever, after seeing the awesomeness that is swimming. But how to learn how to swim.

She got out of the pool of the pool and walked around a bit.She looked at the people race and cheered them on. They looked like good swimmers. Maybe one of them could teach her how to swim. First see who finishes and then ask was a correct way to handle this situation.
