I Love Lucy is not mine. Hope you like my story!! When you're finished, please review and tell me what you think?



On a bright summer's day at a park in New York City, it was beautiful. If you looked in the sky, there wasn't a cloud to be seen. Lucy had decided it was a nice day to go for a walk, so she went to the park. Lucy - slightly tanning, and in a simple plain white shirt and pants - was just sort of strolling through, taking her time. Lucy was just letting her mind wander, thinking about how all the dark green pine trees blended perfectly with all the bright green oak trees. She thought about all the people she saw playing; kids playing on the slides, families playing, parents pushing their kids on the swings. It was just a peaceful day. Lucy found an empty spot on a park bench, and decided to read a little of the book she brought with her. But after 2 or 3 chapters she decided to go home, taking her time.

When Lucy got back to the apartment, she decided to see what was in the mail, which she had picked up earlier. Thumbing through it, she noted there was something for, "Ricky, Ricky, Lucy, and another one for Ricky." Lucy looked at hers, but saw it was just a preview for a new magazine that would be coming out soon. She was about to call Ethel, and see what she was doing, when the doorbell rang. Lucy opened the door to find a man with a telegram for her. She signed for it, and told the man "Thank you". But why would anybody send a telegram to Lucy? Almost everybody she knew lived in New York, they could have just called her, or dropped by; and it wasn't from her Mother. Lucy stopped trying to guess, and just opened it to find out. It said:

--Aloha Lucy,
--Sometimes Life Is Full Of Mysteries
--Hotels Are Sometimes Where They Happen
--Lots Of People You Don't Know, And You've Never
--Even Seen!
--You Know The Way It Is Sometimes!

Your Friend Always,
Me
But Who Am I?

Lucy was baffled, what kind of a note was this? Was it a joke? Or did this person want Lucy to find them? Lucy decided she wanted to find whoever sent this! But how? Maybe - Aloha - had something to do with it. Maybe? Or a - Hotel - ? Lucy couldn't decide which one it was. So, she decided to go with both. Her theory: This person is in Hawaii at a hotel! Now all she had to do was talk Ricky into going, after all, he said he'd be getting some time off. All she had to do? It Might be a Little harder than that...

When Ricky came home Lucy decided to just go for it. "Ricky, I want to go to Hawaii!"
"Huh? What brought that on?"
"This," said Lucy, showing him the note.
"Lucy, I'm not going to go to Hawaii for this, you don't even know for sure."
"But Ricky, please. You DO have some time off, you said so! And Ricky, I never get to go anywhere very far. Ricky please, just this once?"
"Lucy I - Do you promise it will be...'just this once'" Ricky asked, imitating Lucy on the last part. "You wont do this again?"
Lucy shook her head, "No, I wont!"
"I guess I could use my time of work for vacation time."
"Oh Ricky, really???"
Lucy was answered by Ricky picking up the phone, and making flight reservations. Since Lucy didn't say where she wanted to go in Hawaii, Ricky just picked the biggest island. When he was finished, he told Lucy, "We leave tomorrow morning...be ready."
"I will, Ricky."
Lucy was curious as to why Ricky agreed so quickly, but decided to keep her mouth shut.
Ricky was still curious about Hawaii. He just figured Lucy made up that story for a reason to go. But he couldn't figure out why she picked Hawaii.
