It would be the water. The particles that water consists of are less tightly packed and that is why its a liquid. As a result it heats up quicker.
It will also cool down quicker.

The water would heat up faster and the pebbles would cool down.

It's due to the density of the objects (the pebbles would be denser) and the specific heat of each object. Water's specific heat is very high, so it would take longer to heat and also longer to cool down.
