He really was a huge flirt, but that was one of the main reasons Mariam liked him. Things were simple with Chester, or at least they appeared to be. All he really looked for was a good time, and she could appreciate that. As he looked around, she did as well. Most of the canoers were keeping their distance from the swimmers, paddling back and forth, racing each other, and generally having a good time. Usually she would join them, although today she lingered, content to watch. If questioned, she would blame Chester. He probably wouldn't mind.<br/><br/>The sound of a splash drew her attention back to the dock, and the ripples where Chester had dove into the lake. Mariam leaned forward slightly, being careful not to overbalance, and tried to see him under the surface of the water, a smile still playing on her lips. When he didn't immediately surface, she started to wonder, and the sun reflecting on the water made it next to impossible to see anything. "Chester?" she called, leaning a little further over the side of her canoe. Where had he gone? She spun around quickly when there was another splash and her boat rocked violently to the side. Water splashed into the bottom of the canoe and against her legs, and she yelped as Chester appeared to try and climb into the boat.<br/><br/>"Wait--no! Chester you're going to--" Her warning came too late. With a shriek, Mariam felt the canoe tip too far to one side. Unable to compensate quickly enough, she fell into the lake with a splash and a squeal. There was a brief moment of silence and stillness as she sank below the surface, although she kicked her way up again a moment later. Blinking water out of her eyes, she grabbed at the overturned canoe with one hand, splashing water at Chester with the other. "Chester, you idiot!" she laughed, "If I'd<em>wanted</em>to go swimming, I would have signed up for it!"
