A large white Albatross wheeled above the water then plunged under suddenly. She swam around searching for her Gaurdian who had gone under some time ago. Spotting him was hard because of his colour but she soon did. She stayed above him in the water the came to the sruface just before he did.
The lion shot out of the water with a grin on his face. "I just love the water don't you Rakee?" he laughed and took to the air.
"Yes, it's just grand," Rakee said dryly. "Just don't stay under so long, Bosh. You were begining to worry me!"
"I can hold my breath a long time, Rakee!" Bosh laughed as Rakee also took off to glide around him. "Longer than you!"

Rose swam near by Bosh. Rose knew she shouldn't be listening but she couldn't help but giggle a little. She then looked up at the Great Blue Heron flying overhead.
Roma flew lower to the water and returned Rose's gaze. "Do you wanna go to the river?" Roma asked.
Rose rolled her eyes quickly makeing sure Roma didn't see. "You ALWAYS want to go fishing in the river!" Rose said trying not to sound whinny.
"Well I need to stand, and strech my legs and walk on the river bed for a while. Anyhow you need to eat, and so do I." Roma reasoned.
Rose risisted rolling her eyes again. "But we never visit the sea! I love the sea! I can strech my own legs." Rose insisted.
"Oh, but you strech your legs in the river, you still can swim in the river." Roma argued.
"Yes, i can strech my legs in some parts of the river. But I like the sea where I can swim wherever, i can swim more freely. Anyhow i can actually use my ability in these waters. And its a change of senery." Rose said iritibly, she was getting tired of Romas argueing.
Roma looked at her. This time Roma rolled her eyes. Roma knew Rose was getting annoyed and she knew Roses cases were true but still Roma feared for Rose's safty. As if Rose knew what Rose was thinking.
"Don't worry I'll be fine, if i'm tired my waves will help me get back to shore. And if I get thirsty i can drink fresh water." Rose comforted Romas worries. Rose went underwater and Roma went over to Rakee.
"Hi Rakee" Roma said quickly.

"Hey," Rakee said back with an amused tone to her voice. She was sitting on the water just bobbing along with the waves waiting for Bosh to come back up.
Bosh came up finally. Right under Rakke! With a laughed he snapped his wings open once he was clear of the water and circled above it with Rakee on his head flapping uselessly.
"Gaaaaaa!" Rakee screached as she felt herself take flight, unvoulentarily! "BOSH!' She yelled and launched off his head making sure to put her feet in his eyes. Plunging back into the water she surface a moment later to scold him. "What was that for? I didn't deserve that!"
Laughed Bosh came back down also to float on the water next to Rakee with his wings out for bouyency. "It was for fun, and for arguing with me!" he laughed. Seeing Rose he smiled recklessly and plunged under only to come up near her. "Hello! Nice day for a swim," glancing back at Rakee he added, "or some flying!"
"Flying me tail feathers! That was invoulentary sky diving!" Rakee murmured rebeliously.

OOC: LOL! that was invoulentary sky diving! I LIKE THAT LINE!
BIC: Roma was used to flying over the sea. He couldn't exactly swim. But it was good to stretch his wings. Roma didn't like deep water though he liked the shallows and wished Rose wouldn't go out this deep. "Yes tis a beautiful day for flight." Roma agreed with Bosh.
Rose nodded "Good Afternoon, Bosh." Rose curtiously said. She might only be 13 moons but she was a bit more mature then most her age, after all she was the Shaman. Rose then started to take a bath. She loved splashing around in the water on a nice day like this. A speck of water landed in Romas eye.
"Watch where your splashing!!" Roma screamed "You KNOW i don't like salt water! Esspecially in my EYE!" Roma screamed again.
Rose looked at Roma. "Here...." Rose called upon her power and made a wave that was pure fresh water. Rose started splashing again and once again she got a speck in Romas eye.
"Thanks...." Roma said sarcastically. Romas eye was feeling better but she didn't get why they couldn't just leave the sea behind and go back to the river!
"Oh any time!" Rose laughed back. Rose was done playing with Roma and returned to her more serious self.

Bosh laughed at Rose and Roma's argument and splashed around a little bit on the surface. He stopped only when Rakee jumped on his head and pushed it underwater. She was quite large so that wasn't to hard! With a reckless grin he took off flapping to gain a little altatude the going easier once he was above the water line. Soon he was only a speck in the sky.
Rakee stayed below thinking he would be down again soon. After he disapeared from her sight she became restless. With a sqwauk of apology she took off after him. Soon she also disapeared from view.
About ten minutes later there was a large speck in veiw and a smaller one. Then as they grew large loud, frantic screaching could be heard. Rakee was yelling at Bosh, he wasn't listening to her! Quite soon they were easily visable. Then features could be seen. Then they were only a few feet away. With a loud splash they hit the water and went far down. Rakee could easily be seen because of her mostly white feathers but Bosh was gone from veiw.
Coughing and spluttering Rakee burst from the surface. "STUPID LION!" she yelled to the water since Bosh was under. "He wants to go to the bottom! It's hundreds of feet down! We were about 100 feet down when I had to start back. He's going to kill himself!" she screached to Rose and Roma.
Bosh was far down. Deep underwater he was looking at everthing he had never seen before.

"I'll be right back!" Rose called to Roma as she sliped under the water. Roma looked at Rakee.
"Its okay, he'll be back, and if he won't come up by himself the hopefully Rose can persuade him!" Roma said gracefully.
Rose went under the water and opened her eyes. Bosh was no where to be seen. She kept diving deeper and deeper. She had been able to hold her breath for extremly long legnths of time, because she had been training her lungs incase one of her pride mates drowned. She finally saw Bosh. She couldn't see the bottom yet but they were probably ATLEAST 200 feet down. She didn't know how long Bosh was down here but as a Shaman she didn't agree with him being down here much longer! She first pulled on his fur a little, gentally but still enough to try and get the message across. Next she tried to nudge him up. It was the most she could do sence he was much older and heavier and stronger then she but she had to try and get the message through to him.

Bosh grinned at Rose and went deeper using his wings to propel himself as well as paws. He knew they were about 350 feet under because he had been counting. Narrowing his eyes he looked forward. He though he saw something. It was the bottom! Eagerly he swam towards it faster and touched down. He played a bit with the sand then grabbed a nice piece of brain coral that had drifted here to show Rakee. He watched Rose and waited for her to come down beside him.
Rakee swam around anxiously and dove a little bit under every now and then. She didn't see anything. She was worried sick despite Roma's talk.

Rose was so irritated. She knew her lungs were trained to do hold her breath for LONG periods of time and the addreniline rush made her move pretty fast so she was still okay on breath but she didn't know how long Bosh had been down here. Then an idea struck her, if he wanted to play then LETS PLAY she thought. Rose went down to the bottom and toutched the sand and then she got in a starting possition like she wanted to race Bosh. Hopeing that Bosh would get what she was doing she started up to the surface. Thinking that he would go even faster because it wasn't fair that she had a head start!
I'm commin up! I hope he wants an underwater race! Rose said to Roma
"I'm sure he'll be fine. Rose is trying to race him up to the surface." Roma passed the news on to Rakee.

"He won't do it, he'll follow her only if he's reached the bottom and explored thoroughly!" Rakee screached. She dived under and swam as far as she could only to come up gasping for air again. "He needs air!"
Bosh shook his head, he knew she was trying to get him back up. That was ok though, he needed air badly! He swam upward towards Rose letting a little air go. The he created a wave large enough to surge them forwards. As he was caught up in it he grinned at Rose as the wave reached her.
"Oh no!" Rakee groaned. "Get off the water there's gonna be a big wave!"

"Well that must be a sign of Bosh!" Roma smiled to Rakee.
HES COMEING! Rose called to Roma from underwater.
We see his wave! Roma said back.
I know and that WAVE is coming RIGHT at ME! Rose looked back abruptly she tried to outswim it but she knew she couldn't in the end she just go a little off course! Then she continued he swim up and up untell her head was above water. She breathed in the air.
"Ya know Its times like this that I WISH I had GILLS!" Rose panted a little.

The wave pushed Bosh out of the water and he gasped in lunge fulls of sweet, refreshing air! "That woulda brought you up a lot easier you know Rose!" he laughed and flopped on his back. Slowly he let the large surge of water settle down in the water around him. "That was fun!" He laughed, "Wanna do it again?"
"NO! NO! NO! NO!" Rakee screached and pecked Bosh's wing sharply.

Roma couldn't help but sympitize with Rakee. It was hard being Roses familier sence he couldn't go under the water and check for her to make sure she was okay. But Rose always made sure to keep in touch and UNLIKE Bosh, Rose always used common sence and ALWAYS listened to her body. So Roma always knew Rose would come up for air, but it still worried him... what if something happened to Rose that he couldn't save her from because it would be to far under water!
Rose looked at Roma. Its okay you know i won't have drowned! Rose said comforting in her mind. "Well now I know." Rose said quickly. Rose thought quickly on her feet of an idea that might keep Bosh from well 1 going back under and 2. teaching her something shes always wanted to learn. Rose too sympithyzed with Rakee she also feared for Boshs tiredness after holding his breath for so long and if he went back under to the bottom, well he might not be so lucky. "Bosh could you teach me how to fly better?" Rose asked. She had always known a little bit about flight but she could tell that Bosh was very good for the Pride of Leaping Waves. Rose always knew it might be a little faster if she could fly a short distance incase she was needed imidiatly! She waited for Boshs answer while Roma flew in a bit of shock. Rose? Flying? Roma thought about the idea for a sec. or two but then relized that Rose really did want to fly and make her wings useful!

Bosh sighed and looked at her, Roma, and Rakee. Then he turned back to Rose, "Fine, but I'll have you know I'm doing it under protest! I know you might all think I am, but I'm not stupid enough to go back under so soon after last time! I was fine, only a little out of breath and my wave could have taken me up faster! I'll teach you to fly because I know you're being sincere, sort of," he turned to Rakee and held out the coral peice. "This is for you ungrateful bird though you are!" Then he lept to the air and made a small wave to push Rose up also. "I think it's just because my wings are strong than most that I can at all! You just have to fly a lot to strenghten them, then you can talk speed and fancy tricks!"
Rakee took the coral and sighed. She was being judgemental, she knew he could take care of himself. She knew he wouldn't do something if he though for the tiniest moment he couldn't. He might act reckless but it was just that, an act. He had been practicing going deeper and deeper after all so he could make it to the bottom and back up without harming himself. He was clever, but he put on a reckless face to hide it. She kept the coral in her foot so she wouldn't drop it.

Rose was excited. She really always did want to learn how to fly. She meant to ask moons ago, but never did. Now seemed like an... okay time. Rose always liked to see the cloud and starless night clans fly, but until she saw Bosh fly a while back she didn't know that ANY lions in wave pride could fly. It would be soooo cool to fly! When the wave reached Rose she tried to lift off the water. She flapped her wings. And kept flapping them over and over and over again. When she was about a foot about the water she flew forward. But sadly she got closer and closer to the waters surface and soon went swimming back into the sea.
Maybe it was never meant to be Rose sighed to Roma.
Roma shot a glance of sympathy as Rose shot under the water and swam for a while. She found all her little fishy friends and swam with them for a few more seconds until she felt strong enough to give flying another chance. This time she created a wave of her own and once again she flapped and flapped and flapped and flapped and flapped. She got about 1foot 3 inchs off the waters surface this time but the same thing happened and once again she ended up in the water again.
Roma looked at her Just keep trying Roma encouraged her.
Rose looked at Bosh to see if he had any tips for her and then she looked at the two birds before she turned her eyes back to Bosh waiting for him to talk.
OOC: Roma, Rose and Rakee. THE THREE R'S!

Bosh sighed, "It's sort of like swimming. You have to angle your wings just right and get good momentum. Angle your wings forward once you get above the water. You are angling them down so your going down...into the water. If you like I'll make a wave go higher so you can start farther above the water. Not that I'm saying you can't do the same thing so no offence!" He leaned forward, dove under, and spun around under water enjoying himself. Rakee smiled rapped Roma's wing gently with her beak and took off into the air. She twirled above showing grace for such an ungainly bird.
