Of Coles and Fishers, Chapter 1

1:03 AM, July 15, 2003


"Mike...hey, Mike!"

"Uhhhh...." Michael Cole groaned as he rolled onto his side, trying to drone out the sounds of the voice in his ear. It was too late for talk and he was too tired.

"Miiiiike. Mike! Wake up, Mike!"

Cole groaned again, and proceeded to yank the covers closer to him, now annoyed at the voice.

The owner of the voice, however, expected this. Luke Fisher chuckled slightly as his younger cousin shifted and groaned, attempting to get out of what the three boys had planned to do since they had first heard about this trip.

See, the Cole-Fisher family wasn't exactly at home right now. Hell, their home wasn't even in the same state at the moment. The entire family had taken a week long trip up to Lake Ouachita in Arkansas for a bit of relaxation next to the lake's crystal blue waters. 

 So, Luke and Cole, as well as Luke's younger brother Will, had planned to sneak off sometime and go cliff diving without adult supervision, since both of their moms had forbade them all from doing it in the first place. Unfortunately, there was only one time when no moms, dads, little sisters, aunts, uncles or grandparents could catch the boys in the act: in the middle of the friggin' night.

So, here stood Luke, just woken up and still in nothing but the tighty-whities he had worn to bed, trying to wake up his little cousin so they could go break some rules and have some fun. He had so far been unsuccessful, but Luke, being four years older than Cole as well as being more muscular, wasn't about to give up just yet. 

"Alright, Mikey. This is your last chance. If you don't give up, I'm gonna have to give you a good Ol' Louisiana wake-up call." He said.

Cole groaned once more, not complying to Luke's wishes. Luke, smirking a bit, chuckled and spoke again. "Your choice."

Cole was suddenly wide awake as his covers were pulled off, allowing the cool air to hit his mostly naked body. His own tighty-whities now exposed as well, he looked to his cousin a little too late as Luke gripped Cole's waistband went up his back with it. The stretchy white fabric launched up the teen's back with ease, and Cole shrieked a bit. Luke let go after a few seconds, and the briefs bunched up at Cole's rear.

After readjusting the underpants, Cole stood up and angrily exclaimed, "What the hell?!"

"Shhh..." Luke quieted and calmed him, "...you wouldn't get up, so I took desperate measures. And keep your voice down. You know full well why I woke you at one in the morning. If Alexa or any of the adults wake up, we're busted."

Cole immediately quieted down, but spoke again when he noticed the third bed in the room was vacant. "Wait, where's Will?"

"In the garage, getting the ATVs ready, as well as getting some drinks and snacks. We'll meet him down there." Luke said as he opened his dresser.

"Wait, we're taking the fourwheelers? Isn't the garage right underneath your mom and dad's room. Won't it wake them up?"

"Possibly, but we'll have to take that chance. There's no way to get to the drop and back again in time by walking. Now, get some clothes on, unless you wanna go to the drop in your whities."

Cole nodded and strolled to his dresser, "Man, this is going to be awesome!"

Luke chuckled as he pulled his jeans up and buttoned them, "You know it, cuz."

A FEW MINUTES LATER

"Well, it took you ladies long enough." The slightly annoyed and sarcastic Will said as Luke and Cole came into the garage of the lakehouse. The gator sat atop one of the medium sized ATVs, which whirred as it waited to be used.

"Mikey was being a typical teenager and trying to sleep rather than do shit." Luke said as he slipped a wooden and metallic object into one of the bags, "You got everything?"

"Coke. Potato chips. Big flashlights. ATVs. I got 'em all." Will responded. 

"Good. Then, are we all ready to head off?"

"Yup!" Cole and Will said at the same time. 

"Then let's get going. Cole, you ride with Will on the green one. I'll take the black one and bags and lead the way." 

After loading the bags of lights and food onto the black ATV and strapping them down, the three gator teens loaded up themselves onto the fourwheelers and took off, hopefully not attracting any attention from inside the cabin...
