::AFTER SCHOOL::
"Welcome everyone, to Swim Team," the swimming instructor, Ruto Zora, said. She was in her early 20s and very attractive, with short blue hair and bright blue eyes. "I am your instructor, Coach Zora!"
"Um...Coach Zora...?" Quatre asked, coming in, not in his spandex swimming gear like everyone else.
"Mr. Winner, where is your swim gear?" Coach Zora asked, looking him up and down.
"I'm sorry...but..." Quatre lowered his voice, "...I don't feel comfortable in spandex..."
"Coach, What would you like me to do?" asked Ami.
"Hold on a minute, Ms. Mizuno..." Coach Zora said. She then turned back to Quatre. "Well, I don't care if you don't feel comfortable in them, you'll swim naked if I want you to as long as you're on my swim team..."
"But coach..."
"I'll make a deal," Coach Zora said. "If you can swim faster than anyone else on this team in your jeans and shirt, you don't have to wear the spandex, but if you don't, you're OFF the team if you don't. Got it?"
"Yes, ma'am," Quatre said. He stripped down to his jeans and t-shirt and Coach Zora called over the rest of the team.
"Now, team, I want you to try your hardest," Zora said. "Now, ready...set...GO!" before anyone knew what was happening, four people were in the water, Michelle, Ami, Sai, and Quatre. For wearing jeans and a t- shirt, Quatre was pretty good. In fact, they were all neck and neck and neck and neck, until they reached the end of the pool and turned around.
Quatre turned around quickly and shot through the water like a torpedo, past those who were still going through their first round. Sai, Ami, and Michelle were catching up, but not quick enough. Quatre hit the end with record speed and pulled himself out of the water.
"Wow," Sai said, pulling out next to Michelle and Ami right behind him. "He's good..."
"No shit...he's like lightning....I thought that I swam fast.." commented Michelle.
"Now can we swim for real..?" questioned Ami.
"Hm...go ahead everyone, Mr. Winner, I'll have to talk to you, please?" Zora said.
As the others swam and practiced, Quatre talked with Zora. "WHAT?!" everyone looked up as Quatre screeched.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to take you off for cheating," Zora said.
"But I...I never cheated! That's ten years of practice right there!" Quatre argued.
"Yes, but there's no way that a boy could have done that without cheating," Zora said. "That's my final verdict."
"But...I...I'm going to tell the principal, he'll gladly back me up!" Quatre screeched at her, running out of the pool area, crying.
"Well, what are you all staring at?" Zora asked. "Get back to practice!"
"That Zora woman scares me sometimes," Link Kokori admitted, trodding water at the poolside.
"Hey Michelle, your brother Marshall, is in trouble.." replied Samantha Tsukino, age 15, Blonde/Silver hair and green eyes, about the height of 5'5". As you know Samantha is the little sister to Serena.
"What do you mean in trouble...?" asked Michelle, as she goes out of the pool.
Samantha whispered in her ear, Michelle left in a hurry. "Hey Ami, Abbie is coming over to my house...we need to work on a project for school." replied Samantha.
"Right, I'll tell my mom when I get home..." replied Ami, as she went about her business.
Samantha left and went to the other side of the pool to meet up with Ethan La Pierre and Abigail Mizuno. Ethan La Pierre was 16, 5'10" had black hair and Grey eyes. Abigail (Abbie) Mizuno, was as you know Ami's sister, she was 15, had Blue hair and Brown eyes, about the height of 5'3". These three had been best friends ever since they had been knee high on their parents. They did everything together, even went to the same school and worked on the same homework together. The three of them had by now left the pool to go over to Sam's house to work on the project.
On the way down to Sam's house, they stopped by Ethan's for supplies. Ethan's oldest brother (rather insane one), Clopin, was in the kitchen making coffee. Clopin Trouillefou La Pierre was 23 and loved entertaining children and was about 6'2". His favorite past time though was tormenting Ethan.
"Bringing home two at once, I see?" Clopin laughed, drinking his cup of coffee. He wore a purple dress shirt and khakis. "I didn't know you had it in you!"
"Yeah, I have seen you bring home 10, and I didn't say anything... but you know there was that...time..." stated Ethan, as he was heading in the direction of the stairs.
Clopin shrugged, "It was once, but you have to admit, it was impressive..." He then looked at his watch. "Yikes! I'm late! Do me a favor, tell Eldon and Emily that I'm at the rehearsal for La Miserables, and I won't be home 'til 11!" He then ran out of the door. Yes, he calls his parents by their first names.
"Sure thing...but can you please...just once call them mom and dad.." hollered Ethan, after Clopin.
"Yeah, Right! Like I'll call you 'Dearest Brother of Mine'!" Clopin shouted back, closing the door, jumping into the car, and driving away.
"What ever, we better hurry, or your parents will hate you for the rest of your life..." commented Ethan, as grabbed everything that they would need.
"I never thought I see the day when you brother, was still calling your parents by there first names..." replied Abbie, as they walked over to Sam's house.
"Hey I never thought I would see the day when he was driving the car, without getting into an accident." giggled Sam, as she passed Darius Shields, who was 15, 5'7", silver hair and blue eyes.
"You might not want to go over to your house...I just left from there, you parents are not happy with Serena..." replied Darius before he left them.
"Great wonder what she got herself into...I just know she probably brought home another boyfriend." sighed Sam, as if it happened all the time.
"Well we could just go up to you room and not have to converse with them." suggested Ethan, as they got closer to the house.
They heard a bunch of shouting coming from the house, they weren't sure if they wanted to open the door.
Sam's good friend, Ryou Bakura, was walking up at that point. Ryou was a small boy of 15, only about 5'6". "Samantha!" he called. "What's going on?" He heard the yelling from inside and seemed to visibly shrink back from the house. He despised confrontations. "Oh..." he said. "Sorry, bad timing..." he started to walk away. "I was just passing on my way to Edward's house before she comes looking for me..."
"Come back around when there's not so much fighting," Sam said. "I'll call you!"
"I'll do that!" Ryou smiled, waving back. "Take care! Remember, if anything happens to you, I'm always available!"
Sam, Ethan, and Abbie went inside the Tsukino's house as quietly as they could so they wouldn't disturb her parents and older sister Serena's arguing. "Daddy, why can't you just let me date him with out having you meet him?" Serena complained as she stood before her father Steven Tsukino. Steven was 42 in age, had blonde hair and emerald green eyes. Steven liked to know whom his daughter was dating and what the boy was like something that every father liked to do with his teenage daughters. Serena was 17, had blonde hair and blue eyes, and was the height of 5'6", loved to eat and go on shopping sprees almost every day.
"Serena you know that I have to meet the boys that you date, it has been a rule in this house ever since you started to date." Steven replied to Serena as she gave him a pouty face.
"What's up?" Seth asked as he came into his father's office where he saw his sister Serena and his father arguing about her new boyfriend. Seth had silver hair, which he got from his mother and blue green eyes just like his sister; Seth was 4'10" in height just like his twin sister Sara, and at the age of 13. Seth liked to tease his sisters, play baseball and make friends.
"Nothing Seth, We're just talking about Serena's new boyfriend Darien Shields?" Steven replied to his third son. "How old is he again Serena? Didn't you say that he was 19?"
"No Dad, Darien's 21, and in medical school at the university," Serena replied as she looked at her father waiting for him to blow up with the idea of his daughter dating a boy 4 years older than her.
"Oh, I see so he is...21...21! Wait your dating a 21 year old SERENA!" Steven yelled, at his daughter when he realized that the guy was 21 years old. "SERENA YOU'RE ONLY 17 YEARS OLD! HOW CAN YOU BE DATING A GUY THAT IS 4 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU?"
"Dad, can you please not over react about the age of I guy that I'm dating" It's not like we're getting married to him or anything." Serena exclaimed to her father in frustration.
"What is going on in here with you 2? Are you trying to start the next world war?" Serenity replied as she came into her husband's office after she heard them yelling at each other. Serenity was at the age of 37, had silver hair and sapphire blue eyes. Plus she was at the height of 5'7".
"Mom, Dad is telling me that I can't date a guy that is 4 years older than me," Serena complained to her mother.
"Serenity I don't think that it is wise that our daughter date a guy who is in college." Steven replied as he looked up from his desk and saw his wife walk in to his office.
"Serena you can date the gentleman only if your father gets to expect him over dinner on Friday? Today is Tuesday so that would give us 2 days to prepare." Serenity replied after hearing everything explained Looking over at her husband. "Is that alright with you Steven?"
"Yeah sure that works," Steven agreed with his wife.
"Serena does that work out with you?" Serenity asked moving her gaze over to her daughter.
"Yes mother, if you say so," Serena replied as she crossed her arms over her chest still being mad about the rules that her father had made for her.
"You're actually allowing her date a guy 4 years older than her?" Seth asked stunned at what his parents had agreed on. "You wouldn't even allow me to do that, since when did you allow her the privilege to date a guy that was four years older than her."
"Yes actually, since right this minute and you could date a girl that is 4 years younger or older than you if we had her over for dinner one night." Serenity replied to her son as she looked over at him. "Now can you guys come to the table for dinner? Every body is waiting for us to join them and I bet you they are getting impatient about it."
"Sweet!" Seth hollered in reply to his mother's comment about dating a girl 4 years older or younger than him.
"Yes," they all replied to Serenity as they left the office.
All four of them left the office to join the rest of their family at the dinner table after they had their little fight on dating new boyfriends that were 4 years older.
"Welcome everyone, to Swim Team," the swimming instructor, Ruto Zora, said. She was in her early 20s and very attractive, with short blue hair and bright blue eyes. "I am your instructor, Coach Zora!"
