Lux was waiting at the pond for Mia. He had made plans through her sister to meet her here so he could teach her how to swim. Also, to find out how she'd feel about maybe going out with him. But that was only if everything else went well.
He sat near the edge of the pond, in a pair of swimtrunks and a plain white T-shirt. He had arrived a little early, he figured, which was probably why Mia wasn't there yet.

Mia was actually running a little late, so she was running to the pond. She'd had to ask a bunch of people how to get there. She wasn't good with directions, because she'd never really had to remember how to get anywhere, plus she'd never been here.
"Lux!" she said, out of breath when she got to him. "I'm sorry! I... got... lost," huff huff huff.
She had on a really cute bikini, it was sapphire blue and had a cute little design on it, and she had a pair of funky, bright yellow sunglasses on. Her white towel was hung over her shoulder.

Lux looked up when he heard his name, and saw Mia standing over him, wearing a little bikini that looked absolutely great on her. "It's okay!" he assured her, motioning for her to sit down so she could catch her breath. "Ha ha, you didn't have to run. I don't mind waiting."
He smiled at her. "So, you ready to swim?" he asked once she'd recovered.

"If you're ready to teach me," Mia said brightly, a smile on her face. Her cheeks were still a bit rosy from the running, but she wasn't breathing heavy anymore. "I've gotta warn you though, I'm not a quick learner."

"That's okay. I'm a quick teacher, so we even out," Lux replied, as if that made any sense at all. He started towards the water. "The water stays pretty shallow close to shore, so you don't hafta worry about drowining or nothing." He took a step into the pond, satisfied to find that the water was nice and warm today. Perfect for swimming lessons with a cute girl.

Mia bit her lip and followed him into the water. "This is so exciting," she said, happy that she was learning something new, but a bit nervous as well.
"Oh my!" she gasped, feeling her toes squish into the mud. "This feels so weird!" she giggled.

Lux turned to her incredulously. "You've never felt mud before?" he asked. Mud just seemed like such a normal, everyday thing that everyone must've dealt with at some point in their lives. Not Mia though, apparently. Crazy. "Well careful, it's slippery.
"Oh..." Lux looked down and realized he'd forgotten to take his T-shirt off before getting in the water. "Oops. Hold on." He pulled it off over his head and tossed it back onto the shore.

"Slipper-- Ahh!" Mia gasped, taking a step forward and slipping. She'd been distracted by how excited she was, as well as how good Lux looked without a shirt on. She'd already thought he was cute, and showing his body just heightened that thought.

"Whoa!" Lux exclaimed, rushing to try and catch Mia as she slipped the second after he told her it was slippery. He wasn't quick enough, so instead she just fell into him, throwing him off-balance and sending them both splashing into the water.
Lux landed on his butt in about a foot of water, with Mia landing right on top of him.

As soon as her mind had processed what had happened, Mia started apologizing. "Oh jeez, I'm so sorry!" she said, blushing. She hurried and got out of Lux's lap, and stood back up. The tips of her hair were wet now, as was most of her body, so when she stood up it was cold.
"Oh no, it's freezing," she moaned. "I feel like I'm back at Iceland." Iceland was actually much colder, but she usually had a lot of clothes on then, not just the bikini she was wearing now. She wrapped her arms around herself. "Brrrr."

"It's okay!" Lux exclaimed, standing up as well. He had actually kind of enjoyed her falling on him. "Don't worry about it, really." He got up as well and shivered slightly as a breeze blew in. "It is cold," he agreed. "Let's go further out into the water." He led Mia furhter out into the pond until it the water was about chest-deep for him.
"Alllllllright," he said slowly, looking at Mia closely. He realized he had no idea how to teach a person to swim. "Well. Uh, let's see...Hm...D'you know how to float, Mia?"

"Nopee," Mia said, following him to the deeper water. "I've never been in more water then a bathtub, so I guess I never really had a chance to learn, you know?"
She bit her lip. "Is it hard? When did you learn how to swim?"

"I don't even remember. When I was little I guess," Lux replied thoughtfully. "My mom just took me out to do stuff all the time when I was little, and swimming was one of my favorite things. But anyways, I don't think it's hard at all."
He moved towards her a little bit, still not entirely sure of how to approach this. Oh well, might as well just wing it, and see how it turned out. "Okay...floating. It's really easy. Nothing to it. Just push your feet up and sort of lay on your back." He demonstrated. "Make sure you keep your face above water. Most importantly relax." She looked a little nervous. "You can't float if you're all tense."

"What if I sink?" she asked nervously. She knew if the water closed over her face she'd freak out. "What if I can't do it and I just go under?"
Obviously she wouldn't drown, it was only chest deep water, but it still freaked her out. "I don't think I can do this, this was a bad idea, I can't do it," she said, shaking her head a little. It was starting to freak her out, thinking about sinking underwater.

Lux blinked. "Um...calm down," he said, starting to feel a little nervous himself. If Mia didn't end up having a good time, it would completely ruin his chances with her. Plus, he really wanted to show her what she'd been missing out on. "If you go under you just...stand back up."
He didn't completely understand why she was freaking out as long as her feet could touch the ground, so he wasn't quite sure how to reassure her. "There's nothing bad about going underwater as long as you can touch the bottom."
