Deacon's [secret birthday] bash - OTA
Charlie dearly loved parties but todays seemed likely to be one of the most strenuous. The sun shone brightly, the lake water seemed fairly clear, reflecting the blue of the sky and the equipment was in good condition.

Kayaks were stacked to one side for the traditonalists, there were brightly coloured jetskis like little bugs. A deck had a couple of larger craft moored alongside for waterskiing and there were pedalos and rowing boats and - the thing he had been keeping an eye on since he had arrived - several enormous plasic 'hamster balls' floating on the surface of the water.

"I'm just got to have a go in one of those," he thought as he waited for the guests, and secret guest of honour, to arrive.

	"Hey, Mouse," Deacon said, strolling along the dock and eyeing the jet skies with interest. "Alright ya got me here. What've you got planned?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Look," Charlie pointed generally in the direction of water related fun stuff. "All those things to play with. And I hired wet suits so we can stay in ages and even I won't get too cold. The only thing I wasn't able to organise was surf for surfing but maybe we can use the speed boat to make waves." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Deacon was grinning and looking over the items with obvious interest.

"I'm likin' this plan," he said then groaned (good naturedly) and rolled his eyes as a chorus of voices he knew very well shouted "Happy Birthday!!"

Coming up the dock were Seth and Nick, Jack, and Zack and all were dressed for water fun.

Deacon looked at Charlie with a raised brow. "Just you wait," he whispered, but his eyes were twinkling, and then turned to greet their guests.

	Charlie grinned and gave Seth a nudge as he reached him. "I thought I said no shouting the b-word," he said. "D's sensitive about his age." "Huh," Nick said. "Wait 'til you're as old as me," he said. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Deacon chuckled. "Well at least for once I'm not the oldest," he teased. Seth leaned into Nick's side. "Oh but an older man is hot," he said and gaze up at Nick, batting his eyes. Jack and Zack both groaned and rolled their eyes. "Who needs cake and ice cream," Zack said. "We can get our sugar rush just from that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Aww," Charlie said. "Right you lot, there's a nice man called Brian and another called George and a lovely lady called Katinka all ready to show you how to use these bits and pieces. I'm going to stay here for a while to make sure that the other guests," he carefully voided Deacon's gaze, "get in and are fitted up with what they need. So why don't you all have some fun? The changing rooms for the wet suits are over there."

	The dog was first. He came bounding down to the lake the moment the tiny old beige Suzuki microvan stopped and opened its doors. He ra up to Charlie and wagged his tail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Hey, buddy," Charlie said, crouching to make a fuss of him. "Scruffy's here somewhere," he said. "There was this poodle, though, so lord knows where he's got to."

He gave Axminster the sort of gentle thumping that big dogs really like then got up and went to see who was in the van. He knew who was supposed to be in it, but wouldn't be surprised if Ricky hadn't brought something to do.

Like the Dagenham Girl Pipers.

Ricky had brought a huge inflatable globe, large enough to serve as a bona fide planet for very small insects; a few freshly burned CDs of unpublished music, and a well-filled tin of mary jane, safely hidden in his glove compartment.

He was trying to get the unwieldy folded-up plastic husk, which currently showed only Cuba to indicate there was anything geographical on it, and Cindy's wheelchair, out of the bus at the same time, while Cindy leaned against the side of the bus and mocked.

	"Hey," Charlie said, rushing to help. "What? No Andras? Let me take that." He grabbed the wheelchair and popped it open with a practiced gesture and clipped the safeties into place. "There," he said and grinned at Cindy. He had something for her in his van - brownies, special ones, in case she wanted to join in the fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yes Andras!" Andras said, crawling out from behind the big folded-up globe. "The back seat door is broken from the inside." He proceeded to drag the deflated planet from the bus. Cindy sat in her wheelchair and smiled thanks at Charlie. Ricky shrugged, apologetic. "The bus is a bit peculiar. Sorry 'bout that." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, there," Charlie said to Andras. "Yeah my van has its moments," he added, helping with the mass of slippy plastic. "Ricky - what is this? Cindy, I brought something for you. I'll fetch it just now. They guys are all down at the changing rooms getting into wet suits and stuff. Or not. Doubt D will bother." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
