Ok, ok. Now, I did left an AN (now, that sounds weird…), and I mean an Author's Note, and I really would like the answer. Remember, English is my second language, so sorry if I got that wrong. Also, I wanted to write something and post something tonight and am too lazy (stop dances and tries to sit up without going to sleep) to check this out. So please, sorry for any mistakes. Also, before I forget. If you got a name for a College, please do tell. I'm really bad to name stuff. It doesn't have to be real, just...um, sound real?? Please and thank you!
Here ya go at last, my new chap. Don't know when I will post again, but please review. I do really appreciate that!

VII. Coffee, Mothers and Mutts
"The park! I love the park. One day Rena and I…" and so she went.
Amy had offered to take care of the five year old that day, and she loved it. It seemed Rini had every kind of story to tell. She was talking non-stop about how she and Serena had gotten into some trouble at the park. Well, Serena had gotten into trouble. She would have to ask Serena to tell that story.
She was so distracted in her own thoughts, that she didn't noticed until she bumped on someone. That someone was carrying a coffee, and that coffee just spilled on both shirts. To top it all, they both fell, or more like she fell on…him.
"So sorry. I…I…" Amy trailed off, blushing crimson at the sight of the man in front of her, and also the feeling of one of his hands in her waist.
A young man of about 24, with light brown hair and piercing blue eyes, of what she could feel under her hands, he had a good body structure. This only made her blush even more, something she thought was not possible.
"Don't apologize, miss. I was not looking where I was going." He tried to get up, and it was Amy's cue to get up. She rolled to the side. He got up faster and helped her up.
"Sorry about your coffee." Amy whispered at last, after finding her voice.
OoO
Zachary Brooks couldn't believe it. He was late. He was never late. He had never been late, and he was not about to become a 2nd Kevin.
He had forgotten some work at the office last night, so after making a quick go at the party he was at, he all but rushed to the office and grabbed those papers he had to check before giving them in today in the afternoon.
He had gone late to bed, almost at 3am checking them over and over. He didn't want a mistake in it. A very important negotiation depended on it.
To make his luck worst, he had woken up late. He took a fast bath, changed in the first suit he found and ran out to the garage. Just to remember he had sent his car to the dealers. (AN: I think I got this right, in case not, by dealers I mean the place where they repair and check your car. Please tell me if I got it right.)
He had no time to catch a cab, it was too late and it would be of no use. He decided to walk to the park that was about 20 minutes away, and then grab a cab from there.
On his way to the park he had bought a Starbuck's coffee, and just felt a bump. He had felt the hot coffee go into his shirt, and into someone else's. Looking up he found a very pretty blue haired girl, on top of him.
She was very pretty, he couldn't deny that. The way she was just blushing made him feel…extremely well.
She kept apologizing for the coffee, which gave him an idea. Lost where all thoughts about getting to work.
"Don't worry about it. I think it was both faults…" Kevin smiled at her. "Maybe I can pay you by inviting you to a cup of coffee?"
She was about to say 'no, thank you', when a voice came between them.
"Yeah! And ice-cream for me!" A child of about four all but yelled in excitement. She jumped up and down, and looked all but thrilled at the idea. Who was this kid?
"Uh?" was all that Kevin could say. He looked down at the red haired girl, more like pink haired girl. She didn't look at all like the lady he had just invited to coffee.
"Rini, are you alright?" the young lady knelt in front of the child, checking her all over.
"Yeah, Amy, stop fussing!"
So, her name was Amy. Well, he got a name at least…now, about a phone…
"So, what about coffee and ice cream?" He asked.
"Yeah! Please, Amy, Please!" the child cried out, grabbing Amy's hand.
"Um…I'm not sure." Amy said looking at the child, then directed her sight at Zach. "I mean, don't take me wrong, but…well…you're a stranger!"
"Well, then, that can be easily solved. Zachary Brooks." He said giving out his hand.
She took it after a moment of thought, and then said, "Amy Anderson."
"And I'm Irene, but everyone calls me Rini. Are you really going to take me for ice-cream?!"
"Rini! That's not polite, honey." Amy reprimanded the child, before he could answer.
"Sorry." The child said, though it was evident she wasn't.
"It's ok." Zach said. "If your sister wants to. What do you say Ms. Amy?"
"Please, call me Amy, and I don't see harm. But…aren't you going to be late for work?" she asked, pointing to his briefcase in his hand.
Good, she observed. As he did. He liked that.
"No, don't worry about it." He stated simply. She just looked at him suspiciously and nodded, taking the child's hand in his. "I know a café nearby where we can go. It does sell ice-cream too." He stated winking at the child.
Amy just smiled and Rini cheered. Well, maybe his luck had sucked at first today, but now, well, it seemed luck was smiling at him.
OoO
"I told you, Luna. You can count on me!" Darien exclaimed happily through the phone.
"Yes! I'll call him immediately. I found an apartment, not even five minutes from yours, it's pretty nice and near a park too." Luna told him through the phone.
"You were actually serious when you told me you're not living with us then, uh."
"Darien, it was different when I was single. Now, well, we're a couple and…"
"Don't say more Luna, please, you're like a sister to me and I don't want to leave you a widow."
"Ha, so funny…NOT. I mean we need our space with Diana." Luna stated with a sigh. "So, where did you get the job for him?"
"It's a college not far from here. They needed a counselor as one left and oh well, I made some calls, asked for favors, and there you go, new work for Artemis!"
"I see, yatayatayata, new work for my husband." She teased through the phone, "You shouldn't have made that. In fact, I should be talking to you at all."
"What does that mean?"
"It means, I'm calling Artemis and getting everything ready for our apartment. I want it to be ready for next week at least."
"Well, Artemis can start working as soon as he gets here. How long will it take for him to sort everything over there?"
"Not much. Two to three days the most. He only has to finish some paper work and get our stuff here. It would be shorter if I could be with him…"
"Don't even think about it. If I let you go now, Hotaru will drive me crazy. I swear she's just like my mother sometimes. They both drive me crazy"
"Speaking of which, she called today."
"Oh. And?"
"She wanted to know how her two 'babies' were doing."
"Well, that's new. She has never had done so before."
"Yeah, I know. Also, she left a message for you."
"Really?"
"Yep. She wants you to know that she has been thinking on both of you…" Luna started, obviously reading from a paper and doing a sarcastic voice, "…that she misses her baby girl…"
"She has never missed anyone, you were the one raising Taru, not her." Darien cut off.
"Just give her a chance, Dare, and let me finish." She admonished. "She also misses seeing you, cause according to her it's been a long time."
"You're kidding? It's been two years since the last time we saw!"
"That long? I'm going crazy by not seeing Artemis and it has only been three days. Don't know how she does it."
"Now you've lost it Lucia Ann. My mother left me with a sitter for two months while she and father made some business travelling, most like he did business she did shopping."
"I don't remember that one. And don't call me that." Luna stated.
"Sorry, Luna. And you wouldn't remember. I was five at the time."
"And she left you with a sitter?! Sorry about what I'm going to say, but I always knew your mother should have never had children."
"True. Glad she did though, or I wouldn't be here. Anyway, finish her message, will ya?"
"Oh, right. Now, here it's the good part. She wants you to know that she's arriving in two days."
"Pardon, but, arriving where exactly?" Darien asked. His throat got dry at that last part.
"Here." Luna stated and was rewarded by a very expressive Darien.
"Oh, SHIT!"
OoO
Lita was happily walking towards work after school. She had had a good day so far.
Some people didn't understand why she owned a flower shop and wanted to go in the fashion business. Well, people never understand everyone.
As irrational as it could be, working with flowers gave her ideas. In fact, she had made several good sketches of dresses, and others.
Mina and Serena had placed the colors in them, and Rei had actually made some of its. Yes, they were a good team, and Amy had been great by choosing the type of fabric and had a good eye to choose the best quality.
She was having a happy day. Her teacher had called her and congratulated her. Her shop was selling more flowers this month, and all in all it was a happy day.
She turned towards the block where her store was, when something caught her eye. A dog was sitting down besides the door to her shop. She walked there to find an adorable puppy.
He, or she, was very fluffy and had light brown fur. The puppy reminded her of an old animal stuff Mina had.
"Well, hello, there. Where did you come from?" Lita asked, kneeling in front of the puppy. In return the little mutt just waved his tail happily. To Lita's amusement, the puppy's tail had some white fur at the end which reminded her greatly of feathers by the way they were distributed.
"No tag, I see, just a collar." She picked the puppy up and looked around. No one seemed to be looking for the puppy, who was now happily chewing her finger.
"You're hungry? Well, I think we got something in there. If not we could always get something." With that she went inside the store, not after long a squeal from Serena and a cry of "Puppy!" made her go deaf for a few seconds. Yep, she had found a new pet until they found the owners.
She just hoped Rei would squeal in delight and not in disgust, and that Mina was not as afraid of puppies as she was of dogs. If not, they were with so much bad luck.
Review or, or, or…I'll kill the Teddy Bear!! I mean it!
