About a half hour later, the night sky had been lit up, mostly due to the lights from the streets. However, at this very particular moment, on Elk Island, two people were arriving via boat that Arnold had rented and parked as he got up and took Lulu's hand.
Lulu gave a small smile as she got up from the boat and settled down on the private beach as the two settled down. "Oh, Arnold, this is a very nice getaway you decided to settle on..."
"Well, you know me, always thinking about others..." Arnold gave a blush as he leered his head towards Lulu's developing breasts.
Lulu giggled as she bounced her chest up in the air, Arnold following along as she untied her shirt and took it off, with the poofy sleeves and put it aside as she sat down. "Come, come, Arnold, lay your head down here. Come on, I don't bite..."
Arnold happily obeyed as he sat down along with her and casually laid his head atop her bra and cuddled next to them. Lulu giggled as she gave a grin. "Yes, yes, you like the breasts, don't you? You're my Arnold, all right..."
"And you're my Lulu." Arnold grinned as he kept rubbing his head against the perky balloons before pausing. "So, why did you take us here, Lulu?"
"Do you remember how you talked with me about wanting a two-person pool party? Well, it's not a pool, but... I was thinking this big land of water is enough to conceal us from having..." Lulu wiggled her eyebrows. "...a very private swim."
Arnold's eyes widened in shock, before putting on a grin as Arnold's devil appeared on his left shoulder, rubbing his hands. "Oh, snap!"
"Oh, crap..." Arnold's angelic side rubbed his head, knowing full well what's coming up, and he felt helpless to stop Arnold in this scenario.
Indeed, in Arnold's head, Arnold was currently imagining him and Lulu swimming around happily, dancing with each other near the shores of the water as they went down... Arnold gave a very dopey grin, much to Lulu's notice.
"Oh yeah, you clearly remember that conversation..." Lulu giggled as she ticked his chin, getting his attention.
Arnold gave a small smile, before pausing. "You know, I didn't exactly bring swimming trunks..."
"Who says we need swimsuits... or clothes to swim in?" Lulu asked as she nuzzled his nose. "If anything, I think the best choice would be if we did this..."
Lulu leaned towards Arnold's ear and whispered. "...with no clothes on..."
Arnold's eyes widened even further as his grin grew even bigger... and the 'Shortman' in his trousers continued growing as he turned his head towards the girl. Lulu gave a small grin as she said, "With the others not knowing what I'm doing, and your family not knowing everything, I'm sure that with the two of us alone, on this isolated island away from civilization, we can get away with anything we want..."
Arnold gave a small grin as he reached for his pants and started to unbutton them. "I think my 'friend' needs a little air..."
Lulu looked down as she noticed the bulge that had grown the minute Arnold had mentioned it before grinning. "I see what you mean..."
Meanwhile, back in Phoebe's place, Phoebe was busy looking up books as she kept flipping through a few encyclopedias, wondering if she could find more about Verisity Co.: Milk and Services and their history. She and Gerald already had a basic idea about the company and their intentions, and how it got shut down due to major discoveries, and they knew that Lila and Lulu's father also had a hand in taking down the company, but Phoebe felt that this didn't tell the story further, so she and Gerald decided to separate for a while to find out more about this phenomenon and mystery.
She figured that maybe the encyclopedias in her house may have had an answer, but so far, she had come up with nothing... as she kept flipping through each book, her brow furrowed as page after page, she kept flipping. All of a sudden, at the seventh encyclopedia, she kept flipping through the pages until her eyes widen, spotting the word 'Verisity' on a certain page. Grinning, she started to read the page.
"Verisity Co.: Milk and Services was founded in the 1950s in Kentucky, by a woman known as Edna Verisity, who, according to most sources, was the eye of the man's desire. Having a trait of 'woman's touch', she can spot the weakness of any man, and exploit said man to her various ways, so as to do anything her heart desires. She ended up marrying at least five times in her life, and only producing one child. Rumor has it that this old woman trained her child to follow her ways and continue the family business, and it went well until the discovery made by one Henry Sawyer, where immoral things were discovered. This business has since disbanded..." Phoebe sighed as she put the book down.
"Well, this doesn't tell me much..." Phoebe growled as she punched the bookcase she was reading with all her might... before another book fell from the bookshelf, much to Phoebe's notice. She noticed a bookmark on the book itself as Phoebe slowly picked up the book and examined it. The petite Asian girl found herself being curious as she opened the book to where the bookmark is... before gasping as her eyes slowly shrank.
"I suppose... this had to be out in the open sooner or later..."
Phoebe stopped short as her head turned towards her regretful parents as they looked down. "Mom? Dad? What's going on?"
Kyo gave a sigh as Reba looked regretful as she went over and put a hand on Phoebe's shoulder. "You better come with us to the kitchen. There's something we would like to tell you."
Phoebe, looking curious, followed her parents as she looked pretty cautious.
Meanwhile, a pile of clothes were seen on the beach as all was silent... before bubbles came rushing out a little far in the ocean, before two heads popped out of the water as the two heads panted. Arnold was looking towards Lulu with a grin as he said, "Wow, Lulu, I can't believe I'm saying this, bu-"
"Sh, sh..." Lulu gave a grin before taking a deep breath and asserting a kiss to Arnold's lips as the two dove under the water again.
"Well, as you know, you were originally born in Kentucky." Reba gave a small smile as Phoebe nodded.
"But the reason I was in Kentucky in the first place wasn't for a trip." Kyo gave a sigh. "It was... for a darker means."
"Darker means?" Phoebe asked as Kyo looked down.
"When I was a little boy, I was having the time of my life. I was enjoying the things I normally did, having fun, the best things little boys can do... it was a great time... that is, until one day, I met one of the most strangest girls of all time." Kyo explained as Phoebe looked up in surprise. "Not your mother, as you would think... but another girl... she went by the name of... Serena. Serena Verisity, that was her name."
Phoebe's eyes widened in surprise as she did recall the name from research. Kyo took a deep breath. "Though at the time, I didn't even realize something was off, I met her, we exchanged a few talks, and then the next thing I knew, she started doing some things that exploited a weakness in me, like she was enticing me to do things a normal little boy would never do. Oh, all boys think about it, but they find no reason to do it unless they wanted to be really bad."
"Oh my..." Phoebe covered her mouth as Reba nodded.
"Oh my indeed." Reba gave a sad nod as Kyo crossed his arms.
"The next thing I knew, I began going out with Serena, and started to do... very immoral things that I would have never dreamed of doing, but with Serena, it was like... heaven... or at least, that's what I was tending to believe. The next thing I knew, I started to disrespect my family, lose my honor and eventually, Serena convinced me to move away." Kyo sighed as he looked down. "As you can tell by what you saw, I stupidly took that choice."
"Dad..." Phoebe looked at her father in sympathy.
"The next thing I knew, Serena's mother set up this fake wedding ceremony and 'married' us, before she sent me off to work at a farm. Now, farm work is not too bad, except the more I worked, the more I wondered when I would meet up with Serena again. Eventually, I grew a little older, with that mindset in mind. The only person who felt sorry for my condition was the girl that I met..." Kyo said as he turned to Reba, who gave a sad smile.
"Back in those days, I was working at Verisity Co., for an internship, just to get a job going... but then I accidentally stumbled into your father as he seemed to be lifting some heavy boxes. He didn't seem to know I was there, or even was aware of my presence, but he seemed pretty cute. It wasn't until a few months later, when the new boy in town seemed to be acting normal that he snapped and told me about the real going-ons of the place. Apparently, my husband and him, along with other little boys that Serena had kidnapped who grew up into men, were mindless slaves, driven by one thought... but that one boy didn't break for some reason. Or, he did at one point, but some thought somehow snapped him out of the trance as he didn't like what was going on with the place." Reba explained.
Phoebe turned to her father as he nodded, "I had no idea what was going on at the time, but I had quickly snapped out of the trance and your mother was kind enough to catch me up on what was going on... and how shameful I've been in the past. But I didn't remember a lot going on, so it didn't really matter to me. Regardless, I picked up the pieces of my life and started anew, with the girl I loved... and the other girl who gave me joy..."
Phoebe gave a small smile as Kyo sighed. "I guess now you know what happened in my life. I'm really sorry, Phoebe. I was going to tell you when you were older..."
"That's all right." Phoebe gave a small smile. "At least I have a lot more information that I'd like. Confidentially, can I ask you a question? That man that merely snapped out of his trance, his name wouldn't be Henry Sawyer, would it?"
"Ah, so you read the encyclopedia, huh?" Kyo gave a smile. "Yep, that's him. You probably already know him because of his daughter, Lila."
With this new information in hand, Phoebe knew who to question next... even she knew it was risky, but she needed to let Gerald know and get more answers.
Back on Elk Island, the two lovebirds had managed to swim back to shore, the two all wet, but seemingly satisfied as they found themselves soaking wet, Arnold feeling blissfully happy as he had conquered his life dream... he turned to Lulu, who went down on the ground as she winked at him.
"So, Arnold, I was thinking... have you considered moving away to my place?" Lulu asked in curiosity.
Arnold smiled as he said, "Yes, I have, and you know... I wouldn't mind moving to my place so that I can get close to you... I mean, the city life, it's all right, but a lot always goes on... and these people... ugh, all the people. I like them, but they expect so much from me! I'm just one kid! What do they want from me?"
"Sh, sh..." Lulu softly shushed Arnold as he looked down at her as she said, "It's okay, my blonde haired stud. When we move in together, you won't have to think about the city anymore..."
Arnold paused as he gave a smile before laying down alongside Lulu. "Maybe you're right, Lulu... maybe you're right..."
Lulu gave a giggle as she put an arm around the excited boy. "Well... we still have the rest of the night to enjoy ourselves... don't we?"
Arnold eagerly nodded as he rolled onto Lulu, ready and raring to go!
