Chapter 10

The next day, the inner scouts ran into the outer scouts. They inquired about Serena and Darien. Amara was the only one to answer the young girls' question. She made it perfectly clear that Darien had taken Serena on a tour of the world. Michelle, Trista, and Hotaru stood by in silence as they listened to Amara lie to the girls.
The scouts were amazed that Serena had the left the country. They took Amara's lie to heart and inquired about nothing else. The two groups went their separate ways and continued to fight side by side when it was needed.

The scouts continued to believe the lie that Amara had fed them for three years. They believed that Serena and Darien had moved to another town to be farther away from them, but in fact, they had never moved. Serena had continued her schooling and she and Darien was still engaged.
It was a warm summer day during the month of July. The inner scouts were enjoying a day in the sun at the park as they waited for a new enemy to attack. They were sitting beneath a large cherry blossom tree talking about Serena when they heard a young child laughing.
Mina looked up and saw a small child of about two or three watching them. She had waist long blond hair in a ponytail and dark blue eyes that held mystery behind them. The little girl was wearing a pair of denim short with a light pink shirt that had a white bunny on it and pair of pink Velcro sneakers. Lita turned her attention to Mina when she didn't answer her.
"Hey, Mina," said Lita, dressed in a pair of low ride jeans with a skintight green long sleeved shirt and a pair of black boots. "What are you looking at?"
"That little girl," pointed Mina, dressed in a tight black skirt with a dark orange sweater and a pair of sandals.
"Isn't she cute," said Raye, dressed in a pair of black pants with a red tank top and a pair of dark blue tennis shoes, looking at her.
"She looks familiar," said Amy, dressed in a flowing mid-thigh dark blue skirt with a loose white long sleeved button up shirt and a pair of black boots.
Mina stood up and walked over to the little girl. "Hi," she said sitting on her feet. "What's your name?"
The little girl looked at her for a moment and then said, "Kacy."
"That's a cute name," said Mina. "My name's Mina and those are my friends. There's Amy, Lita, and Raye."
The girls smiled and waved. "Where are your mama and papa?" asked Raye.
"Over there," said Kacy, pointing to a young man with dark hair and a young lady with long blond hair pulling back into a ponytail.
"Why are you over here and not with them?" asked Mina.
"They told me that if I go to far that they'll come and get me," Kacy said looking back at her parents.
Her parents noticed that she was talking to Mina and began to look worried. "Hey, Lita," said Mina. "Who does that look like?"
Lita moved over to Mina and looked in the direction of where she was pointing. "I don't know," she said. "But they don't look to happy to see us over here with their daughter."
The young woman with the blond hair in a ponytail stood up and made her way over to them. She was dressed in a pair of tight jeans, a pink sweatshirt with hearts, and a pair of black high boots. "Kacy," she said. "Come here."
"Mommy," Kacy said as her mother picked her up. "I made friends."
"I can see that," she said. "Now say good-bye."
"Bye, Mina," Kacy said. "Bye friends of Mina."
"Excuse me, miss," said Mina.
"Yes," said the young lady.
"What is your name?" Mina asked.
"It's Mary," she said. "Why?"
"You looked like a friend of ours who's been gone for three years now," explained Mina. "Sorry to bother you, miss."
The young woman took Kacy and returned to the young man. "What did Mina asked you?" he asked.
"She wanted to know my name," said the lady. "Darien, they haven't forgotten me."
"Of course not, Serena," said Darien. "We will all meet soon. Then they will know the truth."
"You're right, Darien," Serena said with a smile. "They know our daughter's name now at least."
"Well, let's go home," said Darien as he lead his two beautiful girls out of the park.
Mina and Lita had sat back down beside their fellow scouts and watched the three as they talked and left the park. Raye closed her eyes and thought hard about what had just happened.
"She didn't sound sure of herself when she said her name was Mary," said Raye. "I think she's hiding from something."
"Hey let's go to Crown Fruit Parlor for some ice cream," suggested Lita.
"I promised Jack that I would help him practice volleyball," said Mina.
"Grandfather want's me to get everything ready for the summer carnival," said Raye. "Sorry we can't come with you."
"How about you, Amy?" asked Lita. "Are you free?"
"Yes I am, and I think I will join you," Amy said.
"Good," said Lita. "We'll see you two later."
"Have fun," said Mina as she and Raye went on their way.
"We will," called Lita. "At last, we can be together."
Amy blushed and gave a little giggle as she looked at Lita. "We haven't been alone like this for quite sometime, now have we," teased Amy.
"We could always just go to my place for more privacy, if you like," said Lita.
"Maybe later," Amy suggested with a smile.
"Is that why your wearing." teased Lita tugging gently at Amy's skirt.
"You know it," Amy said as they arrived at Crown Fruit Parlor.
Lita opened the door and allowed Amy to enter before her. They found a booth in the back corner of the parlor that was empty. Amy ordered a chocolate shake while Lita ordered a vanilla. The two of them sat there and talked about Serena and Darien. When their order arrived, they thanked Elizabeth and continued talking.
"I hope nothing happened to Serena," said Amy.
"She's got Darien with her and he would never let anything happen to her," Lita said. "You know what."
"What, Lita?" asked Amy.
"I saw Mina and Raye the other night in the park when I was heading to your place," said Lita. "They were pretty close that night."
Amy just looked at her companion.
"Like us," whispered Lita. "Close like we are when we're alone and no one's around."
Amy's eyes went bright and her cheeks were flushed. She put a hand to her mouth and said, "Oh."
"My thought," Lita said.
"Well I've noticed they've been close but I didn't think that close," Amy said drinking her shake. "Do you think they know about us?"
"I doubt it. If they do, they're not going to say anything about it," said Lita. "Shall we go?"
Amy smiled as she followed Lita out of the parlor. They walked a couple blocks before arriving at Lita's apartment. As they entered the apartment, they were greeted by the sweet smell of roses. Lita had gone out, bought a new rose plant, and found that it filled the place with its sweet smell.
Once Lita closed the front door, she turned to Amy. Her fellow scout member was looking out the window at the busy world. Inside the apartment their world slowed down and relaxed. Lita walked up and wrapped her arms around Amy's waist. She began kissing her young friends neck when the phone rang.
"You better answer it before the machine does," teased Amy as Lita's hand moved to her thigh.
"Let's see who it is first," whispered Lita as she slowly lifted Amy's skirt.
Amy took Lita's hand and led her into the bedroom. The phone had stopped ringing before the machine could pick up so there was no need to listen for whoever it was. Amy lay on the bed and pulled Lita onto the bed. Lita lightly kissed Amy's neck as they lay there on the bed. Her hand slowly traveled up her young lover's skirt until she reached the lace panties that lied beneath.
A soft and gentle moan left Amy's mouth as Lita kissed the valley between her breasts. Lita ran her fingers along the edges of her lover's underwear, until she gently pulled them down to her knees. Amy jumped as Lita moved her fingers over the skin that was once covered by the fabric.
Lita placed her hand in between Amy's legs as she passionately kissed her young lover. Amy wrapped her arms around Lita's neck, spread her legs, and welcomed the excitement. As Lita uncovered her lover's breasts and began to kiss them, the phone began to ring again.
"Stupid phone," said Lita. "Next time I'm going to turn off the ringer."
"We better listen to see who it is," said Amy as Lita pressed herself against her.
"Well you just enjoy and I'll worry about listening," Lita said as she pressed harder against her.
Amy let out another moan. Her face was flushed as she arched her back and pressed herself against Lita. They both collapsed on the bed and in each other's arms. Their bare skin was warm from their activity and both were breathing hard. Once again the machine didn't pick up and they were left there in wonder. They climbed under the sheets and soon fell asleep.

Please don't give any me crap about what's going on between Amy and Lita, cause they're paired together and so are Mina and Raye. I hope you all are enjoying the story and keep reading. Please be sure to check out my other stories, they're all so wonderful to read and I would love to get some response back on them. ^_^
