Lisa couldn't help herself. She had to be there to greet Minmei in person when she landed.

It was late afternoon on a beautiful spring day. The wind was brisk, but not strong enough to be unpleasant. The moment Minmei stepped off the plane, Lisa's face broke into a smile as bright as the sun.

Minmei walked briskly to her across the tarmac, and they hugged. Lisa felt that if she'd been ten years younger, she would have picked Minmei up and whirled her around.

They pulled apart and Minmei asked, "What's the news?"

"I'm still in love with you, and Rick is willing to give it a try."

Minmei's face broke into a grin, and she and Lisa kissed. They didn't give a damn who saw them.

They pulled apart again. "Did you take off work early just to pick me up?" Minmei asked.

"I did."

Minmei motioned to the plane behind her. "Well, I hope your car has room for luggage. It's so wild; I go on tour, and suddenly I have lots of clothes."

Lisa laughed. "Come on, you. Let's get you home."

Lisa and Minmei sat on the sofa with their arms around each other.

"I've never been with a woman before," Lisa whispered.

"Neither have I."

Slowly, they kissed.

They had the house to themselves. Rick would be on duty for many more hours, so they took their time, moving with slow deliberation, making each moment last as long as possible.

They spent those moments undressing, exploring each other's bodies, giggling, kissing, looking, touching, moaning, panting.

Somewhere along the way they migrated to the bedroom...

then to the shower...

then back to the bedroom, all the while still kissing, licking, sucking, moaning, panting, finally groaning with wild ecstasy and grinding themselves into exhaustion.

When at last they lay in a deep bliss, getting their breaths back, the sun had set. Lisa lay on her back with her arms around Minmei, who lay with her head between Lisa's breasts.

They stayed there a long time.

Rick came home to find that Lisa had made him dinner. The bedroom door was closed, and Lisa spoke quietly. "Minmei's back, but she's exhausted after her tour so she's already asleep."

"I guess we're gonna have to get a bigger bed," Rick said, looking towards the bedroom. "I hadn't thought of that."

The bedroom door opened and Minmei came out, dressed in a shirt and panties and rubbing sleep from her eyes.

"Hey, we didn't mean to wake you," Lisa said.

"'Sallright," Minmei said. "I wanted to greet Rick when he came home." She wrapped her arms around him, and they held each other. Lisa looked on, smiling. Rick and Minmei had known each other a long time; they needed no words.

Minmei kissed him and smiled. "We've come a long way since you toppled a veritech into my bedroom."

Rick smiled also. "We sure have."

Minmei kissed him again.

"Boy, it's wonderful to feel your kiss again," Rick said. "I thought it was gone forever."

"Likewise," Minmei said. "And we have Lisa to thank for giving it back to us." She kissed him again. "But right now you need to eat and I need to sleep. I really am tired." She yawned. "Good night, you two."

"Good night," they said, and Minmei returned to the bedroom.

Less than an hour later, a very tired Rick and Lisa joined her. They managed to crawl into bed without waking Minmei again.

"You're right," Lisa whispered. "We need a bigger bed."

Minmei really wanted to rest all the next day while Rick and Lisa were on duty, but she didn't get the chance.

First, the world wanted to celebrate. Not only was the war officially over, but to say that the Zentraedi were enthusiastic about the boxing leagues was an understatement. They were ecstatic that they would be able to hit people without going to jail for it. These two developments meant the future looked bright, and everyone wanted a party. And no party was a real party without Minmei, so she spent several hours on the phone with Vance. They needed to plan something truly special right away, and if she could write a song specifically to commemorate the event, that would be perfect.

Second, since Rick and Lisa were tied up with work all day every day, it fell to Minmei to order a new bed and arrange delivery.

Third, Vance called her one more time late in the afternoon to tell her that Dr. Lang, of all people, apparently had a niece with a lovely singing voice. Her name was Janice. Dr. Lang felt very strongly that Janice's voice was a perfect harmonic match with Minmei's, and was asking Minmei to meet Janice and to consider forming a partnership with her. To be polite, and out of respect for Dr. Lang, Minmei agreed to meet her, but insisted it would have wait until after the celebration.

Worn out, Minmei took a nap in the early evening. Before going to sleep, she set her subconscious to work coming up with ideas for a special song to celebrate the end of Earth's first – and hopefully last – interplanetary war. She knew she would come up with something. She always did. Maybe a sequel to "We Will Win" called "We Have Won?" Or perhaps just "Triumph?" Hmm. Perhaps too on the nose. It should be something more subtle.

One tiny, niggling part of her subconscious asked, Why not just sing "Stage Fright" again? She told it to go 'way.

Rick and Lisa came home an hour after sunset. Minmei greeted them both, and they shared a long, three-way hug. Then they ate dinner and talked about their day.

Then they turned off the telephone and dimmed the lights.

Without a word, Lisa took Rick's left hand and Minmei took his right. Together, they led him to the bedroom.

Minmei tugged on his belt buckle while Lisa lifted his shirt off. In less than minute, Rick was naked.

Lisa quickly propped some pillows against the headboard while Minmei gently pushed Rick onto the bed. They had him lean against the pillows.

The two women then stood at the end of the bed. They looked right at him, then at each other, and kissed. Their breasts pressed against each other.

Rick watched, enraptured. He was already rock hard.

Lisa turned Minmei to face Rick. Minmei just looked into his eyes and smiled lovingly as Lisa undressed her. Minmei saw Rick hungrily take in the sight of her naked body as Lisa slowly revealed her to him. He'd seen Minmei nude before, of course; she had Rick had made love several times. But this was still an exquisite sight he'd never envisioned.

Once Minmei was completely naked, Lisa turned her around slowly several times, silently encouraging Rick to enjoy and admire every inch of Minmei's beautiful body. Which he did.

Then Minmei turned Lisa to face Rick and began undressing her.

Rick was enraptured.

Lisa smiled at Rick as Minmei revealed her body, taking her time. When Lisa was naked, Minmei slowly turned her around several times to give Rick the complete view.

Lisa and Minmei kissed again. Now free of clothing, their breasts met once more, their nipples pressing against each other completely. Their hands held each others' buns. They let Rick see their tongues explore each other.

Minmei knelt to kiss and suck Lisa's breasts for a few moments. Then Lisa returned the favor. They made sure Rick got an eyeful the entire time.

Rick's breathing was ragged.

Lisa and Minmei looked seductively at Rick and crawled onto the bed. They came to him, touching him, kissing him. They knelt on either side of him, Minmei on his left, Lisa on his right. They touched Lisa's right breast with Minmei's left breast above his face and guided both nipples into his mouth, allowing him to suck on both their breasts at once, which he did for a while. His hands roamed over their bodies.

Then Lisa and Minmei lay down. Lisa reached across Rick, took his left hand, tenderly kissed it, and placed it on Minmei's vulva. Then Minmei took Rick's right hand, tenderly kissed it, and placed it on Lisa's vulva.

Minmei ever-so-gently tickled his balls while Lisa's fingertips drifted up the front of his shaft with a soft caress.

Rick moaned. He'd never known such a heaven existed. He knew the only reason he didn't blow his load right then was that all the sex with Lisa over the previous few days had cooled his engines just enough to make this night possible.

Lisa and Minmei stuck their tongues in Rick's ears. As they sucked on his ears, they took turns tickling his balls and caressing his penis, all while his hands rubbed between their legs.

Rick whimpered.

Minmei and Lisa gently took hold of his penis, their fingers interweaving. Together, they gave it a slow, gentle tug.

Rick whimpered some more.

They sucked on his ears and slowly stroked him for a little while longer, then shifted back down the bed.

Looking into Rick's eyes, Minmei slowly and gently ran her tongue up his shaft.

Looking into Rick's eyes, Lisa slowly and gently ran her tongue up his shaft.

Then Minmei did it again. Then Lisa. Then Minmei. Taking turns. Rick could hardly believe this was happening, and they started to giggle at the look on his face. They kissed and licked his penis together, up and down his shaft, partially kissing each other as they did.

Minmei took his balls in her mouth, and Lisa closed her mouth around his penis. As Minmei sucked gently, Lisa ran her tongue around his shaft and slowly moved her head up and down.

Rick closed his eyes.

Several minutes later, Lisa and Minmei switched. Lisa gently took his balls in her mouth while Minmei sucked his penis.

Finally, Lisa and Minmei let go and looked at each other. Rick's heart was pounding.

"I've had him most recently," Lisa said. "You take him."

"But I want to see you two do it," Minmei said. "Why don't you start him off? I'll finish."

Lisa mounted Rick. Minmei positioned his penis and guided him inside her as Lisa lowered herself onto him.

As the beautiful warmth of Lisa's vagina wrapped itself lovingly around Rick's shaft, Minmei leaned over Rick so he could suck on her breasts. She placed Rick's hand on her buns, silently encouraging him to feel wherever he wanted. Minmei turned her head to watch Lisa go up and down on Rick.

After a few minutes, Lisa said, "I think he's about to blow." She crawled to one side as Minmei mounted up. Lisa guided Rick inside Minmei and watched, fascinated, as Minmei went up and down on Rick, faster than Lisa had. Lisa leaned over to let Rick suck on her breasts, and he hungrily ran his hand all over her body.

Rick was whimpering mightily and contorted his body. Lisa and Minmei looked at each other and nodded, and Minmei bounced as fast as she could. "Come on, Rick!" she panted.

"Rick," Lisa whispered. "This is from both of us. We love you."

Rick exploded. It was the most exquisite, longest-lasting orgasm he'd ever had. Fireworks from heaven, over and over. Minmei kept bouncing as hard as she could while Lisa held him tightly. It seemed to take ages to finish.

Rick finally stopped moving, but he was still panting heavily. He moaned softly, his eyes closed.

As he lay in a near-catatonic state, Lisa and Minmei held and kissed him. When it became clear Rick would be that way for a while, the women shared a laugh and entertained each other.

Eventually, Rick slowly returned from whatever blissful universe he had been floating in. His eyes drifted open and he watched their activities.

After a while, he recovered enough to join in again.

They continued making love for hours.

It was a night none of them would ever, ever forget.

It was the start of their new life together.
