To say Billy was surprised was an understatement. Evelin, of all people, was wading into the water and making plans on how to catch the fish. Being a water-lover, Billy knew exactly what she was up to but he never pegged her to be that kind of girl. After receiving an invite to join her, Billy rolled up his pant legs before walking into the cool water. He was thankful that his pants were on (he thought about removing them). The sudden coldness surely would have made things noticeable. At least with the pants covering that area, no one would be wiser!
Standing still just as Eve did, Billy watched and waited for a fish to move. The second one did, his body dove into the water. His method of getting fish was unlike Evelin's, but it was still effective. With his entire body in the water, he didn't have to worry about falling or flailing. Hands outstretched, he found something and quickly shot it back up over his head. Just as he was doing that, another fish came into view. Unable to punt this one across the lake to the others, he simply reached after it. A mouth full of weeds later, he found himself losing the fish then grabbing it then losing it. It was so slippery that he didn't have a second to spit the weeds from his mouth. Brows furrowing and his serious game face now on, he finally gave the tricky fish a good hard squeeze. But it was too much! Slipping from his hands, Billy's eyes went wide with disbelief. He was going to lose that fat sucker!
"Nooo," he said while spitting! Diving back into the water, his foot made contact with the slimy creature. Catching it just right, he did a backflip in the water. Fish flying and Billy's legs coming back down to the ground, the brunette shot from the water and sent a panicked look at the two on shore. They scrambled to grab the flopping sucker, but just moments before he escaped, a rock was chucked at it. The fish stopped moving instantly.
"As dumb as we look, at least we will have food to share!"
Rather than diving back into the water again, Billy followed Eve's lead of silently stalking and then punching or kicking. If they kept this up, they might have enough fish to feed everyone at least twice! There were a ton of fish here. It was just getting them to land that would prove difficult.
