Lance talks Hunk into going with him to find a secret waterfall deep in the forest, rumored for it’s pure, clear water. As they walk thru the dense foliage, Hunk stammers, “They say it’s… haunted.” Lance scoffs, “That only means we’ll have the place to ourselves!”
After hours of hiking, just when they're about to give up and admit the waterfall was some kind of wilderness myth, the trees part and before them is something out of a movie.A gentle waterfall splashes down a mossy, flower-covered cliff side into a pool of water so clear and pure, that if it weren't for the sunlight sparkling off the surface, it wouldn't even be visible.
Lance crows, triumphant, and tossing off his shirt and shoes wastes no time cannon balling into the center of the pool.
"Lance!!" Hunk shouts when Lance resurfaces, "We need to test it first!"
Lance huffs and throws his arms in the air, splashing Hunk. "Dude! My MAN! Look at this, it's pristine! And fucking WARM! Must be some hot spring. GET IN HERE!"
"NOT until I test it. YOU might not mind spending the night barfing up a lung from some weird secret waterfall bug, but I do." Hunk sighs and removes his pack, crouching down to rifle through it to find his test kit.
Lance huffs again, but resigns himself to letting Hunk be Hunk, and tips to float on his back in the buoyant water. Closing his eyes he thinks this is the perfect reward for all that hiking, it's possibly the most relaxed he's ever been in his life.
That is until, "LANCE!!" Hunk whisper-shouts at him.
Lance cracks open one eye to look over at his friend. "Don't need to shout, right here."
"Lance, who's that??" Hunk visibly blanches as he points to something behind Lance.
"Har har, very funny, stop stalling..." Lance mutters as he spins to find himself nose to nose with... something...
