First water fight!

Looking back on this day, I believe I was only 9 years old, but I remember a few thing vividly. It was a huge water gun fight between my block, against a larger block with more kids. I think that all I had was a puny XP 220. My block had about 6-7 kids and the other block had around 10. Back then, we compared water guns by price, obviously, nowadays, that can't be done with hasbro on the scene. There were no ranks or anything like that, it was just a hot summer day. The main person on the other team was an older kid with a "$50" super soaker, now I realize it must have been a monster xl. The kids on our block had some decent super soakers, probably were higher class xps or xxps. I was also one of the younger kids on my block. A scene that I, for some reason, remember very well, was, me and my older friend, nick, were having a tough time battling this kid with a very nice super soaker, the kid showed no mercy. He dropped his blaster, and nick grabbed it, when the kid came after nick to get it, nick threw it to me. I ran about 30-40 feet with it and then dropped the blaster, when the kid came to pick it up I blasted him and nick came from behind, we then ran back to our block to refill. After that battle I begged and begged my mom to buy me a big super soaker, so we went to target and I brought a $40 super soaker and my brother bought 2 $20 super soakers, I am dying to know what these super soakers were, one of my brothers shot swirls and all I remember about mine is that it came with a water/soaker ball. Looking back on that day I really miss those days, back then I thought there would be alot more water battles. However, shortly after Nick moved away, and me and my neighbors age difference started to kick in. So that was the end of that, and sorry this story was only bits and pieces.
