AN: I'd love to hear from all of you, so please feel free to comment & tell me what you think! ❤️
*Third person POV*
It was a beautiful morning in Santa Carla California and the girls had decided to go visit the Emerson family, Lucy was delightfully surprised when she answered the door and quickly invited them in to join her for coffee.
The three men of the house were still asleep, so the five women were enjoying some "girl talk".
"I know that look. Somebody's got a crush!"
Lucy tried to hide a smile by taking a sip of her coffee, causing the girls to gasp before quickly surrounding her.
"I NEED details!"
Katie was bouncing in her seat like a five year old on a sugar rush, Lucy's face turned as red as her hair and she giggled at Katie's behavior before setting her mug down.
"...His name is Max, he owns the video store that I work at-"
"Ooooo, business and pleasure? Scandalous!" Katie teased and Lucy sputtered before turning even redder (if that was even possible) as the girls giggled.
"Ok ok, stop teasing the poor woman and let her talk! So, what does he look like?" Luna said without anger before propping her face on her hands. Lucy managed to calm down before letting a dreamy smile split her face.
"Well, he's tall, has brown hair, blue eyes, and he wears glasses."
"Ah, so he's the nerdy type?"
Luna reached over to lightly smack Katie upside the head.
"Ouch! What'd I do?!"
Everyone (minus Lucy) rolled their eyes and Rose motioned for Lucy to continue.
"I think he's very handsome, and he was kind enough to offer me the job right off the bat. He's been nothing but a gentlemen, much better than my jerk of an ex husband I'll tell you that much!" Lucy explained before deadpanning.
"Amen sister!" Amber laughed along with the others as Lucy broke into an amused smile.
"Lucy! What's with all the racket?" John Emerson yawned as he walked into the living room.
"Oh I'm sorry dad, did we wake you up?"
"No no, I just didn't know that you had friends over. Nice to see you girls again."
"Nice to see you too ya old fart." Luna teased and he just pointed his finger at her with a playful glare, causing the girls to giggle as he walked into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee.
*Time skip, third person POV*
Lucy's sons had woken up about fifteen minutes after their grandfather and Sam apologized for the incident with the frog brothers - to which they told him not to since it wasn't his fault - while Michael had left to go job hunting, so the girls decided to hang out around the Emerson house.
Amber was running around with Nanook, and within a span of five minutes she had somehow gotten the horses to trust her so much that they would follow her around. When she sat down in the pasture to rest, one of the stallions had actually laid down beside her and placed its huge head in her lap while she stroked his mane.
Katie thought she'd died and gone to heaven when John Emerson had opened his garage to show her & Sam his prized possession;
A light blue, mint-condition 1957 Ford Fairlane convertible 500 skyliner.
After laughing at the old man about how much of a hermit he was when he refused to go into town, she was pleasantly surprised when he'd pulled out a joint & offered for her to smoke it with him, then pulled out another (slightly bigger) joint and told her to save it so that she could smoke it with her friends later on.
Rose was helping Lucy by washing the dishes as she cleaned up the after-breakfast mess that the boys had left (Luna had made the girls clean up after themselves by threatening to shave their heads while they slept if they didn't)
Luna however, she was in the bathroom.
*Luna's POV*
"Dammit!"
My nose was bleeding again, it had been doing so for the past three minutes and was finally starting to die down to only a few drops every now & then. I lightly blew my nose again & sighed in relief when I didn't see blood, I stepped back from the mirror a bit and stared hard at my reflection.
How had I not noticed it before?
I had always felt some slight bone pains and had woken up sweating my ass off in the middle of the night before, but since I never got the fevers, red spots & severe infections like my edoda, I never gave it much thought.
But this I couldn't ignore.
My jeans were starting to feel loose on me, and my ribs were just barely starting to show through my skin, I walked over to the little scale that was in the corner of the room & took my boots off before standing on it.
My heart dropped into my stomach when I saw the numbers.
I had lost three pounds in a single night.
