Chapter Two
A/N: Alrighty, so this is all happening after they dealt with that epic huge-ass fish
Lizz didn't get to go
As she can't create a dragon yet :/
Damn
Zane was the first one to get to Caspian Lake, his dragon disappearing before he dropped to the ground. He looked around, "This is a most peaceful lake."
Cole landed next to him, too, his towel wrapped around his torso like a sash, "It's nice and quiet."
"Time to wreck that quiet," Lizz grinned, sliding off the back of Lloyd's green dragon. She had two towels in one hand and several pairs of goggles in the other.
Lloyd fell to the ground next to her, shaking his head, "You were always the loud one in the house..."
"Until you misplaced me," Lizz threw her towels over her shoulder and patted Lloyd's cheek with her newly-freed hand, "I'm gonna go swim now."
Kai walked to Lloyd's side, watching Lizz so jump on Zane's back, both of them laughing as she stole his hat and put it on her head, "She likes to hold that against you, doesn't she."
Kai, Lloyd and Cole glanced up at Jay's dragon, first showing up with him and Nya now, "Thanks for leaving us in the dust guys!" he snapped, the dragon popping out of existence.
Nya chuckled, "He just flies a little slow sometimes."
"We knew you were running late, that's why we left you in the dust," Cole told him, turning to head towards the calm, almost crystal-clear lake.
The others followed him to the beach where Zane and Lizz were already laying down their towels. She still had on Zane's hat. Kai dropped his stuff down beside them, "I'm going to go test the water."
"I'll come with," Lizz dropped Zane's hat on her towel, grabbed a pair of yellow goggles--the ones with the nose piece--and followed Kai towards the water's edge.
However, when Kai only went in ankle deep--saying something about it being cold--Lizz continued on, stomping through the waves and splashing water everywhere. As she walked, she situated the goggles on her face, nice and snug before disappearing beneath the surface altogether.
Kai was giving the spot she disappeared a weird look, "But it's so cold."
He said that, and Cole, Lloyd, Nya and Jay all splashed passed him, headed out to deep water. Kai stepped back and sat by Zane on the sand. Zane--who had his hat back on his head--looked at Kai, "Do you not want to swim?"
"Um.. not right now," Kai stretched out his yellow towel and laid down, putting on his sunglasses, "I think I'll chill out by you for now."

Lizz saw a foot and yanked on it, the owner slipping beneath the surface with a scream. Turns out it was Nya, and the two came back above surface giggling and grinning. Nya's hair had lost its volume, dripping wet as it stuck to her forehead. Lizz's hair--her bangs, mainly, as the rest was still in a ponytail--was clumped together, her bangs stuck to her forehead beneath her goggles.
She'd barely taken another breath before ducking back under water, out of sight. Cole swam around a little, "That's a bit strange."
"She likes water," Jay shrugged, moving so he was flat footed but up to his chin in water.
"Speaking of which," Zane called from the beach, "Why don't we take this time to aid in her training. Perhaps by the day's end she will be able to create her Elemental Dragon."
Lloyd shrugged, "If we can find her, we could try training her."
Kai snorted, "You know how much she hates training with us."
Jay gave Lloyd a 'look', "Must run in the family..."
"She's been training with Lar all week," Nya defended, "Give her a break."
"Hey, has anyone seen Lizz lately...?" Cole looked around, "She went under about five minutes ago and I never saw her come back up..."
As if she heard them, Lizz suddenly jumped out of the water and onto Lloyd's back with a scream of triumph that mixed with Lloyd's scream of terror. Swiftly, Lloyd threw her off his back with a big splash. She resurfaced laughing, pulling her goggles around her neck. Everyone but Lloyd was laughing. Lloyd was panting, "Lizzi!"
"What?" she snickered, "Green Ninja doesn't like being jumped on?"
"Go jump on Kai," he snorted, swimming out a bit further.
"He's not in the water," Lizz argued, splashing Lloyd in the face.
Suddenly Lloyd got an idea. Shaking the hair and water out of his eyes, he began explaining, "Hey, Lizz. Stand on my shoulders."
"Wait, what?" Lizz gave him a weird look.
Jay, Nya and Cole all seemed to get the idea and were nodding, "Do it, Lizz," Jay urged.
"What the hell for?"
"Here," Jay and Nya began demonstrating as Lloyd explained, "Stand on my shoulders like that and then something awesome happens."
"Yes, because that totally makes me want to trust you," Lizz hopped over towards Cole, "I trust him more than you, so I'll stand on Cole's shoulders."
Cole aided in getting Lizz situated on his shoulders, holding her ankles tightly, "Okay, so when I stand up completely you're going to push off my shoulders, got it?"
"Wait-" Lizz didn't even have time to comprehend what he'd said--or put on her goggles--before Cole did what he said he was going to do and Lizz went flying through the air, turning a little before hitting the water with a hard sploosh.
Jay, Nya, Lloyd and Cole all got re-drenched from the splash. Nya began following Lizz as Nyz got thrown from Jay's shoulders, almost landing right on Lloyd as he attempted to climb on Cole.
Kai began wading into the water again, "That looks like fun... Zane," he glanced over his shoulder, "You comin'?"
Zane nodded, following Kai already, "Yes, Kai."
When Kai turned back around, Lizz was standing right there, a malicious grin on her face as she grabbed Kai's wrist and began running back out towards the others with him in tow, "Hurry up, Zane!"
*
Two and a half hours, three games of 'Who Can Hold Their Breath The Longest'--Zane won them all but Lizz came in second--five races back and forth to each end of the lake, seventy Shoulder Tosses altogether and five Shoulder Toss contests later, everybody was finally beginning to get worn out.
"All in favour of calling it a night," Kai called, "Say 'aye'!"
There were six voices that called out 'Aye!' but Lizz was the one who still floated out in the middle of the lake, "Awe, but I don't wanna go!"
"Lizz," Lloyd sighed, "We can always come back later. It's getting late, though."
"It's literally only four in the afternoon."
"Yes," Zane countered, "But we still have to check in with our elders at Sensei's Tea Shop."
Lizz groaned, put on her goggles and disappeared beneath the surface. A moment later and she was walking up to the beach, discarding her goggles by the other pairs some of the others had borrowed, "Fine."
A/N: Alright, so Shoulder Tossing is the best thing to do at a lake
Stand on someone's shoulders and then they bend down and stand up really quickly
Use their momentum to give you a better jump
Legit, you go flying
Like, dad used to do that a lot with my brother
Dad is about 6 foot somethin'
Add about 3-5 feet onto that
And then SPLAT! you hit the water and yeah
I recommend it
Like
A lot
Anyhoe, here starts the legit story thing of Season 5
Spoilers ahead
You've been warned
But duuuuudes
Lizz is me when its time to leave the lake/pool place
'BUT I DON'T WANNAAAAAAAAAA GO!!"
Have a nice day! <3
