The Pool, Tuesday Morning

Billy stretched a bit, then removed his artificial leg, leaning it against the wall. Carefully hopping the short distance to the water, he slipped in and began to swim.

ooc: for a certain conniving bastard, but open as such things tend to be.

Ami did notice. And marveled at the fairly novel realizattion that she had contributed to the fact that he was so pleased she could notice.

And startled by his words. "Uh oh?" she asked instantly stopping what she was doing.

"I'm pretty sure I left my prosthetic leaning against the wall, right about there." he pointed.

Ami unwrapped herself from Billy and peered at the wall. "It's not there. Want me to go look?"

"Yeah." he sighed. "Thanks. "I'll look too. Maybe it fell and rolled somewhere."

"Maybe." Ami pulled herself out of the water. Stupid timing. She walked around, looking for the prosthetic leg. "I don't see it..."

"Aw man." he groaned and hauled himself from the pool, laying flat on the floor for a different eye level view. He also didn't see it. "What the hell?!"

Of all the times for this to happen!

Ami sat down next to him. "Um, it doesn't walk on it's own does it?"

"Not normally. I guess around here you can't really rule anything out, but I'm afraid I'm still thinking someone might've taken it."

"Who would do that?" Ami asked horrified. Ever practical though she had to ask "Do you have a spare?"

"I've got a plastic peg leg that John made me." he said. "It's up in my room."

"I can go get it...?" Ami offered, tentatively. SHe had no idea if that was an appropriate sort of thing to say.

Billy didn't relish trying those stairs with only one leg, even though he'd managed before.

"Yeah sure." he agreed gratefully. "The key's over with my towel."

"Ok, I will be back." And off she went. And tried not to ransack his room looking for a leg. Or to look like an idior carrying a fake leg around.

"Ok, her you go" she said upon her return.

By the time she'd returned, he'd dried himself off. "Thanks." He strapped the leg on, then rose, finding his balance. Then, just because, kissed her.

"You are welcome." she said, kissing him back. "You should maybe tell the principal or something about someone taking the leg..."

"Good idea."

"That way they can keep an eye out i guess... Do you need help getting back upstairs?"

"Well I could probably manage, but I don't think I should risk it. It'd probably be better to have you there with your arm around me."

"See, now i can't tell if you mean it or not. though..."She put her arm around him "I am not sure i care"

Billy smiled. "See I think this will work."

"Yeah? Alright then" ~~end scene?~~
