Lauren dives in

Wait, Lauren!" Vanessa called after her, her voice tinged with laughter. "You can't go in there like that!"

With a dramatic leap, Lauren dove into the freezing cold water, letting out a shriek as the shock of the cold overwhelmed her. The water was dirtier than she thought, but at least the ants were gone.

"Oh, that's too funny!" Vanessa laughed. "I'm going to have to get you a change of clothes now, aren't I? You probably stink in that mucky water too; there are communal showers here, and I don't care how shy you are; you are using them."
