Tina resumed her laughter at Alice’s distress while Dana jumped to Alice’s side to offer some type of assistance.

“You have to open your eyes and splash water in them if you want to get the soap out!”  She supplied a still yelling Alice.

“They’re burning!  I’m going to be BLIND!!”  Alice shrieked as she splashed water on her face while keeping her eyes stubbornly closed.

Not knowing how else to help, Dana turned on the nearest sink and cupped her hands under the running water to dump it over Alice’s head. 

After several minutes of Alice splashing her face and Dana dumping water over the blonde’s head while Tina doubled over with laughter, the stinging had eased off enough for Alice to become aware of their situation.  Even though Alice had stopped her shrieks of impending blindness and splashing her face, Dana continued her work of filling her cupped hands with water and dumping it on Alice’s head while she mumbled incoherently.  When Dana turned towards Alice with another handful of water, Alice quickly grabbed the athlete by the elbows.

“I think I’m good Dana.  Thanks for your help though.”  She said, smiling into Dana’s still slightly panicked face.

“Are you sure?  You’re not going to be blind?”  Dana asked in concern.

“I’m fine now.  Really.  I think you dumping water over my head really helped!”  Alice said with a sincere smile.

“Oh.. um.. well good!  I try and be helpful when I can.  I’m a certified lifeguard.”  Dana said proudly.

“Hey guys?  I hate to interrupt but Alice?  You’re soaking wet.  You think maybe we should get you a change in clothes?”  Tina said after watching the interaction between the two with a smile.

At the mention of the state of her clothing, Alice yelped and covered up the front of her torso and laughed at a higher-pitch than was normal.

“Yea, good idea Tina!  It looks like I was in some wet T-shirt contest or something.”  Alice said, attempting to laugh off her sudden embarrassment.

Dana, however, was completely fixated on the figure that was now on display due to the water antics of her and Alice.  Before she could enjoy the site for long she felt herself being yanked outside by a talking Tina.

“DANA!  Why don’t you run back to your locker and grab some of your extra clothes out of it for Alice to borrow so she won’t have to walk back to her house in wet clothes?”  Tina said in a loud voice to penetrate the wandering thoughts of her friend.

“Sure!  Clothes for Alice!  Gotcha!  Don’t want her to be soaking wet!” 

With that Dana sprinted back towards the locker room.  Once at her locker she sat down heavily to catch her breathe.  Not from the short sprint, but from the affects of seeing a water-drenched Alice in front of her.  As she continued to sit there her last words before leaving the bathroom came rushing back at her and her eyes shot open.

“Soaking wet?  Soaking WET!!  What the fuck Fairbanks??”  Dana groaned and lightly banged her head back against her locker as she thought about the double-meaning of her parting statement.

“Definitely not one of my smoother moments,” Dana muttered as she stood and turned to grab some clothes for Alice to borrow out of her locker.

Walking back out of the locker room Dana giggled at the memory of a shrieking Alice frantically splashing water on her face while keeping her eyes closed. 

“I think I like her.”  She said out loud.
