Savannah started to laugh even more. "Because there's no pool around here!" she exclaimed. She was sure that Tim would have thrown her in there if there had been one around. The thought only made her more persistent and she kept the hose directed at him until she could feel him losing his balance.
She squeaked as they went down, and she might have avoided the fall if she had let go, but she was too stubborn, and as they reached the ground, she ended up on top of him. She quickly straddled him and stretched over him to get to the hose before he didn't, which wasn't easy considering that he was moving and her dress was all wet and sticking to her skin and his jeans. "I'm going to win this," she answered, laughing. "You'll be so- grrr." She had to stretch a little more. "Stop holding me," she said, as if she really expected him to let her go so she could get to the hose. "This is an illegal move."
