Bath time for Lauren

"AAAHHH! It's freaking freezing!" Lauren squealed as she tried to climb out.

"Well, watcha expect from the water pump? Hot water?!" Jade said with a laugh as she pulled Lauren back down into the wash tub. "And stop squirming!"

Jade pulled out a bottle of shampoo (which, unknown to Lauren, was used for bathing the family sheep dog) and poured it into Lauren's hair, lathering it in as she took a scrub brush and roughly scrubbed her cousin. "Geeze, Lauren! I've bathed pigs that put up less of a fight than you are!"

Lauren spat and sputtered in the cold, soapy water before brushing her wet bangs out of her face... Only to let out a horrified gasp as she saw Tom standing nearby, watching in amusement alongside two other young men the same age as him and another young woman Jade's age.
