Tobi reached over to grab the keys, but instead fell into a water. He spluttered and thrashed a bit, trying to keep afloat.
Charlie giggled, hanging back. She knew Abby had a crush on Tobi.

Abby swam to Tobi and grabbed on to him. "I got you." She said and pulled him to shore.
He even smells good. She thought. Focus Abby. Even if he does look good wet.
Mentally, she slapped herself. Quickly, she tried to think of something else to distract her mind. "Now let's go find that treasure chest."

Tobi sprang up, rubbing his arms. He curled up slightly, "That was scary!" He muttered, then looked at Abby. "My savior!" He threw his arms around her, grinning.

Abby froze under his touch.
I need to focus. What was I supposed to focus about again?
She sighed and wrapped her arms around him. "Any time." She smiled.
And believe me. Any time.

"Yeah, sorry about that," grinned Jole. "I just couldn't let Charlie get away with splashing me, otherwise god knows what she'd have me doing..."
He swam towards the shore, calling out over his shoulder at Charlie, "So I guess I win then, huh?"
Just at that moment a huge splash came crashing from the side of the creek. Tobi was spluttering in the shallows. Jole burst out laughing.
"I got you."
Jole felt the smile wipe from his face as he watched Abby rush to Tobi's aid. She looked at him. She looked at him in a way that made every cell in Jole's body scream out for Tobi's immediate demise. He raced through the water, desperate to distract her.
"So," he said loudly, climbing out and stepping in front of her, "Anyone actually remember where the chest is?..."

Tobi held on for a bit.
Charlie climbed out of the water, grinning. "This time..." she stood up. "Anyways, the chest is by the platform." The platform was a large tree house built around a large tree across the lake.

Abby seemed to melt in Tobi's arms. He was so strong and muscular.
"Anyone actually remember where the chest is?..." Jole said out loud.
"The chest is by the platform." Charlie said.
Abby snapped out of it. "The chest is by the platform." She stood up and walked over to the platform. For a second she lost her train of thought. "Anyone got a shovel?"

"The platform? Man, I'd forgotten all about it," he grinned.
You can let go now, Tobi...
Finally, Abby released herself from Tobi's grip. Jole let out a sigh of relief.

Charlie went silent, holding her arms behind her back.
Tobi let go and went to stand by Charlie. He looked at her, blinking, then looked back at Abby. He sighed, then grabbed Charlie's hand. He leaned down quickly to whisper.
"Hey, I bet I can get you two alone."

"A shovel?" Jole went over to stand by Abby. "I'm afraid I don't carry them around with me, sport," he smiled.

Tobi walked over and took Charlie's hand.
Ouch.
Abby had almost forgotten how much Tobi had like Charlie. "I'm afraid I don't carry them around with me, sport." Jole smiled. Abby smiled and shrugged.
"Oh well." She said and grabbed a rock as she begun digging. If it was one thing she was going to do it was finding that chest. At least it was something to distract her.

"Hey, hey, don't be so daft!" Jole knelt down and took Abby's hands. "There's no need to do it that way. I'm pretty sure there's a shovel back at the clubhouse..." He smiled. "I mean, that what we kept it there for, unless some weirdo's gone and took it." He stood up.
"Hey guys, I'll be back in a few minutes!" Jole called, starting towards the clubhouse.
I need a break... This is driving me insane!

Charlie got down and began to dig with her fingers. She didn't mind if the red clay got under her finger nails, and she felt more in control doing it this way.
Tobi looked at Jole, then sighed. "Hey, Abby, could you come with me?"

Abby stopped digging. He wants me to go with him? But he likes Charlie. Not me. Grr. I'll go.
Abby nodded and got up to follow Tobi. "What's up?" She asked with a smile on her face. Not that it was helping.

Jole raced up to the clubhouse, his heart thrashing inside his chest.
Dosn't she know how much it hurts when she acts like that?
Women.
He began to run faster. In no time at all he was back at the old raggedy shack. He swung open the door.
Now where did we put those things?...
