One hundred feet. That was the deepest dive you had ever done. At this depth, the water was still clear enough for objects to be visible, but it was noticeably darker and harder to see through. Not that you really minded, you enjoyed the thrill of not knowing what you would see, from sharks to sunken ships.
“Pshhbbll…,” you burbled into your regulator as you swam deeper into the depths.
You knew you really shouldn’t be down this deep by yourself. Your girlfriend was with you earlier, but she swam off to goodness-knows-where a while ago. You weren’t worried, you knew she could take care of herself.
Suddenly, the air flowing from your tank stopped coming. You had no idea why, maybe it was a valve malfunction, but now you were down over a hundred feet below the surface with no oxygen.
“MMB! MMB!” you cried out, clutching your regulator and trying desperately to suck in air through the mouthpiece, but none was coming in.
You started to swim up to the surface, but you knew you were too deep down to make it before you drowned. Your vision was getting fuzzy and your lungs were burning from the lack of oxygen. You couldn’t believe that you were going to die down here.
But then, just as suddenly, the air started flowing through your mouthpiece again, and you could breathe just fine. You were very confused, and only when you turned around did you find your answer.
Your girlfriend, Juri Han, was right behind you, giggling like mad into her regulator. She must’ve been stealthily following you the whole time and turned your tank’s air off as a prank. You really wanted to punch her in that moment, but you knew as mean as Juri could be, she’d never actually let you drown.
“Mmhmmhmm,” Juri let out a muffled evil chuckle as she put you in a headlock and messily tousled your hair. You just sighed and wrapped your arms around her torso. Juri was an asshole, but she still loved you and you loved her.
Something caught the corner of your eye and you turned to see what it was. Your eyes nearly popped out of your mask when you saw the enormous octopus heading towards you. It must’ve been over sixteen feet long counting its tentacles, as big as the biggest Giant Pacific Octopuses.
You tapped Juri’s shoulder to get her attention. Once she noticed the huge octopus approaching, she got a very familiar glint in her eye. To most people, a massive sea creature coming towards them would be terrifying. To Juri, it was a challenge.
Juri swam over to meet the octopus head-on, and she grabbed two of its tentacles. The octopus lashed out with its remaining tentacles, wrapping them around Juri’s arms and legs, but she was much too strong and slippery to be caught. She wriggled her way out of the tentacles’ grasp and knotted two of them together. The octopus sprayed its ink at her, but Juri’s mask prevented it from stinging her eyes, and she kept wrestling with the creature.
You thought this was the hottest thing you had ever seen. Juri was already incredibly sexy, but when she’s dressed in scuba gear and a skin-tight purple wetsuit with the zipper down far enough to get a good look at her cleavage, and when she’s wrestling a huge sea beast with such bravado, you could not look away.
Juri let out a muffled cackle into her regulator and aimed a kick at the octopus’s eye. Even with her feet covered up by her scuba fins, the force of the kick was still enough to send the octopus reeling. It let go of Juri and bolted off into the depths.
Juri swam back over to you and fist-pumped triumphantly. You enveloped her in a crushing hug, resting your head on her shoulder. You briefly entertained the idea of turning off Juri’s oxygen tank as revenge for her prank, but you decided against it. Your girlfriend was equal parts mean, awesome and sexy, and that’s all you could ask for.
