"Wings for the lady." Kody smiled as he walked over to Alaska and Sam, handing her the bucket of wings. "Had to make pretty eyes at the guy behind the counter. You're lucky i'm such a looker."

"So lucky. Thanks you!" she gushed, taking them from him. "Where's your peace and love boyfriend?"

"Doing peace and love things probably." he pushed his heart shaped sunglasses on. "Water parks are so scary."

"Why are they scary?" Sam lowered her book and look in his direction.

"I once tumbled down a slide." he shrugged. "I went head first. Wasn't suppose to do that."

"What!" Sam laughed loudly as Alaska did the same. "Kody!"

"Oh god, what'd he do now?" Eli walked over with Miguel not far behind. "I'm scared to even know."

"He's scared of water parks." Alaska gave a snort. "Don't look now, but I spy a hot mama."

They all turned their head as Kodys jaw fell. "Mom?"

"Kody!" she waved and walked over in her bikini.

"Damn." Miguel gapped, Kody wacked him in the arm. "That's your Mom?"

"That's where he gets his good looks from." Eli encouraged him to scoot over as they shared the chair, arms touching.

"Mama." Kody looked up at her as she walked over. "What are you doing here? I didn't know you liked waterparks."

"I don't." she shook her head. "But, Clarissa needed an extra lifeguard."

"I'm gonna drown." Alaska mumbled under her breath, pretending to look at her book.

"Eli and I are on a date." Kody lowered his sunglasses to look up at her. "You can't even swim. I know this because I can't swim, and when I was about to drown, you almost drowned too."

"You're right!" she laughed loudly. "I actually used our tracking app to find you here."

"Uh-oh." Eli exhaled as he looked to Kody. "What'd you do?"

"So, funny little story." Dotti laughed as she placed her hands on her stomach. "We're pregnant!"

"We are?" Kody spoke in fear as he placed his hands on his stomach. "I knew seahorses would infect us with male carriers soon."

"Holy shit." Eli squeezed the bridge of his nose.

"No, baby." Dotti laughed as she motionless to herself. "We, as in me and your Dad."

"Dad got infected by the seahorse?" Kody sat up in fear. "And you're not taking care of him?"

"I'm pregnant! Just me!" she corrected. "I wanted to tell you in a public setting so you wouldn't freak out and get mad. Okay, i'm running away now."

As she did, Kody gapped. "I'm gonna chase her."

"Do not chase her." Eli grabbed his shoulders to bring him back down onto the chair. "Why's she think you'll be mad?"

"Because I don't want her to love anyone more then me." he crossed his arms with a frown. "I'm so disappointed."

"Aw, don't be so disappointed. They aren't so bad." Sam tried to encourage him, taking a double take. "Anthony! Stop staring at my girlfriend!"

He turned, running away. Kody held his head. "I'm gonna have a sibling that stared at my boyfriend. This is a disaster."

"Aw, don't worry." Eli put his arm around him. "You'll be able to brag that you have a hot boyfriend that they only get to stare at."

Kody gave him a look. "What if we break up? Miguel is the only other guy I think is hot."

"Woah, thanks Kody." Miguel grinned over at him.

"Ugh, we aren't gonna." Eli pushed him back in the chair to avoid the two interacting. "Let's go do some slides."

"Do you think they're head first?" Kody took his hand as he brought him to his feet.

"Don't go down head first, please." Miguel begged as the pair walked away, he looked over at Sam and Alaska. "Hey."

"Hey." they said back on sync, lowering their glasses as Tory walked by.

"Did she not even see us?" Alaskas jaw fell. "We look so hot and she didn't even look at us?"

"Maybe she's just waiting until things settle down some to look at us." Sam suggested. "I texted her you know."

"I'm gonna tackle her into that pool like I did you that one time." she hurried to stand up.

After a very eventful ride down the slides, Kody was laughing as Eli kept him steady. "No head first!"

"Yeah, maybe try to actually face forward instead of backwards." he gave a snort and pushed his hair back. "Look at that sweet tat!"

"Looks good against all this pale goodness, right?" Kody motioned to the side of his neck. "Cmon, you know you wanna say it."

"Pale goodness?" he gave a snort. "Is that a word?"

"No, silly. It's me. I just said that." Kody said seriously as Eli laughed. "What?"

He didn't have time to answer before they caught sight of Kenny kicking Anthony into the lazy pool with the help of his Cobra Kais. Kody sighed. "Oh, no. LaPusso might drown like I did."

"That shit head. Come on." Eli drug him over as they approached the laughing group. "What the hell was that?"

"None of your business." Kyler laughed at the pair. "Go back to your girl. Oh...wait."

Kody blinked. "You think i'm a girl?"

"Might as well be." Kyler laughed as he nodded to Eli. "Or...is he the girl? Bunch of pussies, maybe you're both the girl."

Kenny didn't find it funny, non of the other boys did either. Kody was glad that maybe even some assholes weren't homophobic. The O'dell boy exhaled as he choice to leave it alone. Truth was, in all the time he came out as unlabeled and having a few flings with boys, he'd never actually experienced homophobia. California was diverse and had plenty of lgbt members, it just never was targeted toward him.

"Kyler, Kyler." Kenny got him to back off. "Maybe he just needs another haircut to remember who he's talking to."

"You want a take on the champ?" Eli taunted him.

"Dude, you're only the champ because Diaz got hurt." Kenny gave a small snort. "Robby won as many fights as you."

"Yeah, and last I checked you weren't even at the All Valley." Kyler mocked Kody. "Where were you, anyways? Getting your nails done?"

"You're lucky I wasn't there or i'd have knocked your ass on the mat faster then the time it took for you to loose!" Kody pushed forward to get right in his face when he said it.

"Woah, woah, woah." Eli pulled him back, Kody hadn't experience Miyagi-Do the way he had.

"One of those fights was against you, wasn't it?" Kody turned his head to Kenny. "And it doesn't matter how many fight Robby got into, he still lost when it came down to it. Seems like the only time he gets an advantage is when a balcony is around."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Tory walked over and shoved between the four. "Back off."

"You back off." Kody shoved her hand away from him. "Nice friends you've got, Tory. Can't win a fight so have to  to do damage with homophobia."

"What's the matter?" Kenny didn't pay Kody any mind. He agreed with him, but he wouldn't say it. "You scared i'm right? Champ."

"Enough." Tory warned as she looked to Eli. "Unless you want to get your ass kicked, stay on your side of the park."

"Yeah, they're good at staying on their side for a lot of things. Playing for the same team." Kyler laughed at his own joke.

"A sports analogy?" Kody laughed at him. "Even I don't think that makes sense."

"Shut the hell up, Kyler." Tory threatened him. "Don't say anything like that again."

"Hey, yo, champ and his boyfriend!" a little boy called from the pool. Kylers homophobic comment didn't have nearly as much of an impact on Kody as seeing a young boy take notice of them actually being boyfriends. In a world where parents acting like being gay was sinful for kids to know, seeing how normal the kid acted about it made him want to cry right in the middle of the water park.

Eli clearly had a similar affect, looking at Tory. "All right. You guys stay on your side, we don't have a problem. Better rides in our side anyway."

Kody rolled his eyes at Kyler one more time. Eli pulled him away as he took his hand. "I'm sorry Kyler said that. He's an idiot."

"It's okay." Kody exhaled. "It'll happen."

"Yeah, but it shouldn't." he rolled his eyes in annoyance. "It's 2022, who even is homophobic anymore?"

"Not me." Kody smiled. "Are you?"

Eli laughed. "Kody, no."

"Well, Kyler is probably just mad that even with no hair, your hair still looks better then his." Kody laughed as Eli did too, leaning into him as they walked together.
