Swimming Montage, Go! (Wren)

[Forrest & Skye Cheng]

The pool wasn't a place the twins usually visited on a regular basis, but today they were bored and wanted to try something new. Fortunately, they owned a waterproof video camera, so as soon as they shoved in a new battery and made sure all was in working order, they dashed off to the gym like the energy-filled derps they were, hoping they could get in on some sweet swimming action (and maybe some cute, partially-undressed chicks and guys!)

Skye had the camera up and ready for action as they reached the place, and the two pretended to stealthily sneak in, trying not to draw too much attention to themselves until they found a chosen subject of interest. Their eyes followed the swimmers laps, waiting for something to catch their attention.

"Hey, that girl's cute-"

"Yeah, but she's not really doing anything interesting."

"Oh, boo hoo, you're no fun."

"Pshh, come on, we're looking for action, not babes!"

"I thought we were always looking for babes," Skye pouted, huffing at his brother before looking back to the water.

Finally, they agreed on a chosen target that seemed very experienced with what he was doing, and bounced over to get a closer look. They both thought they recognized him from somewhere.

"Wren, right?"

"Yeah, Wren! Hi Wren!"

"Mind if we record you? We're thinking about making some sort of epic sports video montage, and you're a beast in the water."

They were both grinning widely, hoping they wouldn't be denied.

[Wren O'Hara]

It was Wren’s first swim practice since he’d been injured, and he’d been instructed to take it easy today. It was for this reason that he wasn’t in the water yet; he was still warming up, much to his chagrin. He rolled his injured shoulder experimentally, and then turned his attention to his mostly-healed but still slightly tender ankle.

He sighed. He really needed to find some less dangerous hobbies.

He had only just pulled his goggles over his eyes when he heard his name once, then twice, then three times. He looked over to see the twins – what were their names again? they were nature names, but he’d forgotten – looking at him eagerly.

“Hi,” he said, smiling politely. His blank look was somewhat obscured by his goggles and cap. Both twins were staring at him with huge grins – he wasn’t sure how to say no to them without being a bother. “Uh, sure, but…”

He trailed off, wondering if they knew or cared about his ability.

“I mean, I’m gonna turn invisible once I hit the water. It might not be very good footage.”

He let this fact sink in for a moment before clearing his throat.

“But sure, I don’t mind. If you still want to, that is. You can get my entry, at least.”

He stepped up onto the starting block, rolling his shoulders one last time.

[Forrest & Skye Cheng]

Skye gripped the camera eagerly as Forrest bounced a bit on the balls of his feet, both of them hoping the guy wouldn't refuse them. He seemed polite enough, at least! Neither of them actually knew about his ability - they had only heard rumors, which they were terrible with because they believed absolutely anything they heard.

They both gaped slightly, their mouths making small 'o's', as the swimmer explained his ability.

There was a pause, then they both started speaking at once.

"You turn invisible-"

"That's your ability? Really?"

"- so cool-"

They both shut up when they realized he probably couldn't understand either of them were saying, and Forrest gave a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Does your clothing turn invisible too?" he asked. "I mean, if not, we could at least see your shorts, right?"

"Otherwise we would just see splashes in the water... Which could be really cool too!" Skye added, raising his camera slightly with yet another grin.

They both nodded; either way, they definitely still wanted to record it. How cool would it be to have someone that could turn invisible on video? "Jiayou!" they encouraged him as he stepped up to the edge of the water, both stepping closer to get the best shot they could.
