Evanz and Fluke clapped loudly, hooting and yelling with way too much enthusiasm.
"That's what i'm talking about!!" The blonde cheers, grinning as he placed his hands on his waist.

Playfully, Hollow bows as if he were performing a grand show. The water spout behind him follows, dripping more water on him, but he pays it no mind.
"Dude, your power never fails to amaze me!" Evanz says in awe, laughing when Rage fake-pouts.
"Pff, whatever. I can do cool things too, you know!" The dark-haired Brit exclaimed, arms crossed.

Rolling his eyes, Hollow twirls his finger and points at his best friend. In one motion, a ball of water separates itself from the spout and rushes above Rage's head, staying still until further commands.
The red-wearing man froze, looking up as water dripped from the water ball hovering above him.

He stares the blue-haired Brit dead in the eye, serious as bricks.

"Dont. You. Dare."

With a smirk and a wink, Hollow flicks his finger downwards.

Splash!!

"AAAAA!!"

Poor Rage gets completely drenched, head to toe.

"WHAT THE FUCK, AARON?!"
"Oh, don't be such a baby, Josh." The blue replies, dropping the water sprout back into the ground.
"It's just water." A cocky smirk was still plastered on his face.

Both Evanz and Fluke just watched this play out, trying not too laugh at their stupid drama. The two let out a gasp.
"OHHH, BOY YOU KNOW THAT'S A CALL FOR WAR." The blonde yells, snapping sassily.
Evanz kept his mouth shut, smiling through the hand that covered his face.

Moving his long wet hair away from his face, a sly smile creeps on Rage's face, eyes glinting vengefully. "You're so dead."

He ran out of the cave, arms outstretched as he went to grab at Hollow. Uncharacteristically, the two giggled and shouted, playing cat-and-mouse as Evanz and Fluke emerge from the cave to cheer on their two silly friends.
---------
Meanwhile, watching all the silliness happen with wide eyes, gaping mouths, and minds blown, the four adventurers were having trouble processing what just fucking happened moments ago.

Both Mia and Armen just stared at the ground where the water spout sprouted from, not saying a word.
"I- I- I-" Drake tried forming proper sentences to no avail.

The first to snap out of the shock was Grayson. He blinked, shook his head and looked at the others. Turning to Drake, who was the closest to him, he picked his hand up and prepared to slap.

Drake, despite his shock, caught on fast.
"GAH, DON'T SLAP ME!" He shrieked, moving back and accidentally elbowing Armen in the chest.
"Augh!" Armen exclaimed as he holds his chest, surprising Mia.
"Whoa!" She moves away, startled, letting her back hit the wall.
"Oh god, sorry Armen!" Drake turns around to apologize.
The boy puts up a thumbs-up, signaling that he's in a bit of pain but he's okay.

"Oh, wow. Did that really shake us up that much?" Grayson exclaims, smiling slightly.
"Haha, well. It's really all our first time seeing another mage." Mia answers sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Yeah! And I haven't seen much magic in the first place due to my, ah, previous situation." Armen replies, the ache in his belly subsiding.

Everyone looks over at the four older teens, watching as they chase each other around and yell profanities. Every once in a while one of them would trip on a branch and curse at the sky for growing darker.
"I...think we should start setting up camp, huh?" Drake says, taking note of the setting sun as he steps out of the cave.
Mia nods in response and follows him outside. "I can set up the tents, though I don't know how many we actually have."

"Do we have any spare sticks and logs for a fire?" The elf asks Grayson, who shakes his head.
"No, but we can scrap up the sticks from around this area. We are in a forest area after all!" He replies, going ahead and grabbing any sticks he can get from the ground.

"Alright, let me just round up the other group to help  out. Armen, wanna help?" Drake decides, turning over to Armen for assistance.
"Sure, I can handle Fluke and Evanz. The other two though seem too rowdy for me." He says, giggling as he goes to get the two troublemakers that are yelling things that fuel the 'rivalry' between Rage and Hollow.

With a smile, the ender hybrid walks over to the area Hollow and Rage decided to play around at. He watches for a small moment as the two circle around the trees, blowing raspberries and laughing as they reach for each other like little children.

It's refreshing to have more good-natured people to lighten up the group.

"Hey guys!" The mage yells out, catching the attention of Hollow.

Unfortunate for him, this gives Rage the opportunity to tackle him onto the cold grass. Drake winches playfully as he hears a distant "Ooooooo!" from the area Fluke and Evanz were. Chuckling, he gets closer to the two older teens on the floor.

"Agh!! Not fair, Rage! Get off me!!"

"Nope, never! Get used to being one with the ground, scrub!!"

"Ah, do you guys need some help?" Drake asks, smiling as he grabs both of their attention.
"No, what's up Drake?" Rage answers, sitting on Hollow's chest before the blue-head could let out any protests.
"We'll be setting up camp, care to help out?" The mage says, deciding to let Rage have his revenge and gesturing at the area where Mia was setting up some tents.

Grayson also made a pile of wood and was trying to set it aflame.
Evanz saw this and yelled at the red-wearing brit that sat atop his bestfriend. "Ay, Rage! I think your assistance is needed!"
Eyes shining and completely forgetting about the teen under him, he stood up instantly. "On it!"
---------
"Urrghh..." Drake looks back down at the blue-nette, who groaned in pain.
"Haha, need a hand there?" The mage asks, offering some help.
Hollow took it, gratefully, and leaned himself onto a tree nearby. "Heh, thanks mate. That boy is heavy as fuck despite his appearance."
Drake laughs, crossing his arms. "You know, i've noticed something about you two."

Raising an eyebrow, Hollow also crossed his arms. "Oh?"
He hopes to god that it's not what he thinks Drake is implying, because if that's the case then both Evanz and Fluke are really, really dense. I mean, if a stranger caught on faster than them, no wonder they aren't together yet.

"You and Rage—er, Josh? I don't know—are much closer to each other than with the other duo."

Oh boy.

"AND DONE!"

Before Drake could ask anymore or Hollow could explain, Rage's yell of triumph surprised both of them. They both turned to see the logs aflame, along with the dark-haired teen's index finger. A small fire sat atop it, though not for long as Rage blew on it and made it disappear from sight.
Evanz clapped for his friend while Fluke sat down on a fallen log next to a startled Grayson.
Armen, not as surprised, smiled wearily as he eyed the bright burning flames.

He tries not to think about fire much.

Mia, on the other hand, hadn't paid much attention as she pinned the last tent. "And done!"
Seeing Drake and Hollow still near the darker side of the forest, she whistles and gestures them over, going by to sit down on another log near the flames.
Armen sat with her while both Evanz and Rage sat on different logs. Rage looks back at Hollow, patting the seat next to him.

Shaking off the shock, both mages went over to join the gang near the warm fire.
"I'm guessing you're not the only mage in your group, huh?" The ender hybrid asks, sitting next to Grayson as Fluke moves to sit next to Evanz.
"Haha, man you have no idea." Fluke replies, grinning.

"Well, why don't you tell us more about yourselves?"
