Pool house, all day, Talk Like A Pirate Day! Everyone welcome
Technically they shouldn't have put it in the pool, but the Manor could afford to replace it if necessary and it had to be admitted that a genuine floating pirate ship was a lot more fun than one on the grass.

Nick tied it off securely at one side of the pool so the prow was in the shallow end and the stern over deep water for jumping in, and wondered who would be the first to find it. There were plenty of posters up, that was for sure.

	Yes it had been Seth and his yelp was rather bubbly and ended up in a coughing fit when he reached the surface but he was grinning like a monkey. As was Zack, who was latched on to Nick's other side. "Arrrr, matey, I think we has us a prisoner," Zack said and Seth nodded. "Should we make him walk the plank?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nick counted up one for 'Arr matey' and one for 'walk the plank'. "Well you can try," he warned. "But I oughta remind you that I'm the one with my feet on the bottom and you two are pretty much at my mercy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They looked at each other, then at Nick, then back at each other and a slow, evil smile spread across their faces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What?" Nick said. That expression on Seth, he knew from experience, was very bad news indeed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Zack wriggled until he was on Nick's back and then promptly wrapped both arms and legs around him, mostly pinning Nick's arms. At the same time Seth took a deeeeeep breath and went back under the water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh what!!" Nick yelped and did the only thing he could do - he threw himself backwards, twisting in the water to try and avoid squashing Zack, and relied on natural buoyancy to try and swim away. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They flailed about for a while but finally, as usual, Nick won out and a panting Zack was hanging onto the side of the pool and a panting Seth was hanging onto Nick's neck and both had thoroughly happy grins on their faces. "Happy talk like a pirate day!" Seth giggled. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"What say when I get off watch, we hoist sail and cruise down to the Rainbow and get three sheets to the wind," Nick suggested. "Or we could go to the Flamingo and see if they'll make up jamaica rum cocktails." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Now that sounds like a plan," Seth said and kissed Nick's cheek before letting go and bobbing in the water. "Mmmmmm rum," Zack said and licked his lips. "Hey do you think Demitri will show up?" Any chance to see Dem in a swimsuit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I hope so," Nick said, tipping back to float looking up at the glass ceiling. "That kid doesn't get out enough. If he does I vote we take him with us." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Definitely," Seth agreed. "Oh - excuse me a second. I need to go throw Charlie off the boat." He grinned and began swimming stealthily towards the floating ship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nick snickered and followed, ready to retrieve anyone who might need it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
