EEK, that reminds me of the sewer.

Ming Mang Posted Jun 14, 2000

*enjoys ice-cream too*
*wonders what PP's doing now*

*wonders if she's still holding Ming's, or rather PP's, ice-cream...then splashes Ming to remind her it's not just PP she needs to be paranoid about...*

Well done Hannah for going down the slide - I knew you could!
So, you feel able and happy to do it again?
*Runs off to the water cannons, soaks PP thoroughly, winks at Ming, then runs off to climb on the inflatable dolphin*

* Walks too close to the pool and falls in *
"Help! I can't swim!"

Looks like a job for one of our trained Lifeguards, and as I'm one and I'm here, looks like it's my turn.
*Presses a secret button that takes the roof off the swimming pool, then jumps aboard a Westland Sea King rescue helicopter, flies over to where PyramidHead is splashing, is whinched down and then, securing PyramidHead to the line, pulls him back on board the helicopter, and then back to dry land.*
Really, wasn't that a little dramatic considering you fell in the shallow end of the children's paddling pool?
<BB<

PyramidHead Posted Jun 15, 2000
heh... Thanks!
Actually, even a children's paddling pool can be traumatic when you have matchstick-man arms & legs like PyramidHead's, which make swimming very difficult...
*realises he's talking about himself in the third person*

Bluebottle Posted Jun 15, 2000
*Hmm, someone talking about himself in the third person... We really need a psychiatrist lifeguard...*
Well, I'm glad that you feel okay and safe now - just don't fall in again. The water cannons and slide are safe, though - you should have fun with them.

Miss Jeni Posted Jun 15, 2000
Wow....
This is sooooo cool!
Can I join in? Actually maybe you could get
a psychiatrist lifeguard for me too!
Anyway - *walks over to the water cannons
and starts fiddling with the buttons on it.
I accidentally fire it at the water, the
water splashes up and causes the biggest
tidal wave ever, it goes the whole 12 miles
and the height of the swimming pool*
Whoops - sorry
Whoever I Am

Hi Trinity, welcome to the pool. You like entering with a bit of a splash, don't you? *Goes to another water cannon, aims at Trinity, and soaks her!*
Ha! Got you!
*Then realises that perhaps it's because he soaks everyone else that everyone else soaks him*

Fashion Cat Posted Jun 15, 2000
Wanders in with strawberry ice-cream in tow....
Jumps into pool, swims across to the other side and sends a water torrent towards BB, laughing maniacally

*briefly grins at the fact of DD, BB and PP being in one forum again... This hasn't happened since... er... Bond?*
*decides Ming'll have to pay for preventing him from sliding down after he'd waited for so long... *
*finally surfaces (Yes, he had fallen down from the tower... It takes some time to surface... )*
*realises Ming's with her back on him, crawls up from behind, snatches her leg & pulls her into the pool, paying attention that the splash soaks BB, too... *
*wonders if E doesn't want to eat the ice cream he brought her...*
*looks at his own, notices it's soaked & decides he has to take a new one... *

Barley Posted Jun 15, 2000
*barley enters the pool area holding a mysterious looking blow up raft type thing*
*walkes up to the cannon and procedes to fill up the toy with water*
hehe - now i've got my own pool!
Swimming Pool
Bluebottle Posted Jun 15, 2000
*Is soaked, and shrugs. Goes for his guns....*
Aqua la vista, Fashion Cat!
*Soaks Fashion cat, and then runs over to PP to rescue Ming*

Barley Posted Jun 15, 2000
*leaves the pool area and returns with a large blue bucket*
*poors the stuff in the bucket into the baby pool*
and we have FISHES!
it cant be a pool without some to play with.
anyone got a fishing rod?
Swimming Pool
Fashion Cat Posted Jun 15, 2000
Swims up behind BB quietly and pulls him into the pool, ignoring the fact he should be on the look-out... Well, cant let you get the upper hand BB can we!
Together with BB swim across to aid Ming by sending water torrents into PP!

*feels a little besieged from all sides... *
*decides to start a retreat & climbs onto the tower with the water slide... Finally gets to sliding down... The tidal wave soaks absolutely everyone...*
*hurries to get behind a water cannon for some protection... *
*siezes the opportunity to soak fashion cat & BB... Ming is still in the pool, so it wouldn't be much use... *
