It was days like this that you were grateful for what you had. A sunny day in Japan, the heat beating down on you like the expectations your parents used to have for you, before you dropped out of college and threw that all away. Here you were, in nothing but shorts and trainers tending to your...backyard for lack of a better word, when in reality it was more like a nature park by the sheer size of it.

It had been a few hours since you had decided to come outside and enjoy the weather, and it had seemed the other girls had the same idea, but you hadn't heard from them in what felt like an eternity, which in itself was a terrifying thought because if they weren't at each others throats it meant that they were scheming... together. Ugh, the very thought of what they could do if they united made you shiver to your very core. The silence and peace of mind was a welcome addition though, as you hadn't heard the end of your little trip with Apophis since you got back those weeks ago...well, more like kidnapping but none of them saw it that way, bar Monic who happened to be the only sane one in your mind.

Kat: "EEEEP"

Ugh, you and your big mouth.

(Y/N): "Ugh, guess I jinxed it. Go figure"

Apophis: "What was that honey?"

Looking over to the source of the voice you spotted Apophis by the pool, in nothing but her swimwear and sunglasses, watching you work. You noticed Kat and Luci messing around with a frisbee, or at less that's what it looked like. In reality it turns out Luci was pelting the frisbee as hard as she can at Kat, who ran for her life. Scathach was sat by the pool too, but was messing around with a ball of magic, trying to change the intensity of the sun so she wouldn't burn, but from the looks of it she wasn't getting very far. Monic and Petra were sat over by the bar, playing what looked to be Uno.

(Y/N): "It was nothing, and would you stop calling me that? You know how much it riles the others up, plus it's just weird"

Apophis: "But your reaction is just adorable, so why would I stop?"

(Y/N): "How about instead of sitting there on your ass watching me slave away, you could, I don't know, maybe fucking help?"

Apophis: "No thanks, that's Monic's territory. And anyways, why would I move when I have the perfect view?"

Upon saying this she tilts her glasses and shoots you a seductive wink, in which you just respond by flipping her off.

Apophis: "Always the charmer"

(Y/N): "Up yours"

As you were about to return to return to trimming the bushes and tending to the flowers you heard what sounded to be Kat and Luci fighting... again. Once again your attention was averted fast enough to see Kat push Luci into the pool. Realising what she did she shoots her arms above her head in victory, until a grey hand shoots out of the pool and wraps around her ankle, pulling her in with an almighty splash, which soaks Apophis and causes Scathach to start laughing at her.

You couldn't help but smile at what you had just witnessed and released an audible chuckle to their shenanigans.

(Y/N): "Hehehe karma's a bitch, huh"

Apophis: "What was that?"

You couldn't respond in time as her tail coiled around your leg and dragged you backwards with enough force to stop a semi-truck. You couldn't regain your bearings in time as she drags you into the pool by your leg, causing an even bigger splash.

After what seemed to be an eternity you finally surfaced, only to meet an even grimmer fate.

Petra: "Oh cool, I didn't realise we were dive bombing, here watch this!"

(Y/N): "Nonononon-"

You were swiftly cut off as the gargoyle jumped on top of you, pushing you back underwater, disoriented. You only resurfaced the second time after realising Luci was in the pool, in which you surfaced fast enough to lift her out of the water.

Kat: "Why does she get special treatment?"

(Y/N): "Because she's a hellhound, dunce. Water and fire don't agree."

Turning your attention back to Luci you notice how she was holding a beach-ball, in which she launches at Kat as hard as she could, causing the feline to collide face first with the ball and splashing you with even more water. Hearing Apophis chuckle at this you turn around and make eye contact with her, smirking.

Apophis: ""

(Y/N): "I'm willing to accept the consequences"

You hit the water as hard as you can in her direction, sending a wave of water at her, soaking her completely. You notice her tail begin to move towards you until Scathach appears behind her and clogs her hard enough that she falls into the pool too. However her victory is short lived as Monic appears from nowhere and does the same to the witch, before swiftly jumping in.

As everyone resurfaced, you noticed them all glancing at each other before turning to you with sadistic grins.

"Oh no" was all you could get out before being yanked towards the group of girls.
