As she continues flailing about in the water like some kind of idiot, you
point out that, “the water’s only knee deep, dear.” You’d think since she
came from a place called Aqualaria she’d have taken some swimming lessons

I’m drowning!” he screams happily.This is getting really stupid. It does look like fun, though. You set aside your torch and decide you’ll participate in the ‘Help! I’m drowning!’ game.

Taking up residence in the cabin in the woods where you and Fred first met, you forge a new life for yourself under the shadow of the mountains. It’s a good life, though simple and somewhat lonely. As the seasons come and go, you slowly begin to forget about Fred and Astra altogether.Then, one fateful summer day...
