*******Flashback******** ~~~~~Mina's POV~~~~~~
"You can trust us" Kunzite said again. Crap, looked him in the eyes again. I felt myself break, he broke down all barriers.
"It was about…"
*******************Present*************************
"Some personal matters" Amy interrupted me.
"No, it was about mmm mirls mm mma." I tried to wiggle free of Amy's hand, which had just come and covered my mouth. How was I to kiss Kunzite with her hand there?
"She has a tendency to do that" Amy said, trying to sound like I always did this.
"Ah yes, my girlfriend back home, Mina, has a tendency to do that sometimes" Kunzite sighed. "It gets annoying sometimes, but it's just part of her charm"
'Awe, he brought up my name! Hey wait a minute…..' I tried to break hold of Amy's iron grip, but she held me tight.
"Umm, who wants ice cream?" she asked nervously.
"ICE CREAM?!?! YEA!!!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You know we have to find them first" Darien stated matter-o-factly.
"I know, but it will be so much fun" I replied sweetly, giving him the puppy dog eyes. There was no way he could resist this, they worked every time.
"Sere…"
"Please Endy?" I asked sweetly, adding my little kid charm into what I just said. He sighed in defeat. Worked every time!
"Okay Sere, anything for you."
"Thanks Endy, you're the best!" I gushed, kissing him on the lips. Needless to say, we were back on the floor after that….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Raye's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You're so strong Jedite" I commented like some sick puppy dog. Gosh, this was making me sick! Not to mention that it wasn't helping his ego either.
"Well, you know, it's just a gift" he replied smugly. Ha! If he was like this all the time, I swear, his head would be the size of Earth!
"Maybe I could get to know you and your muscles a little better?" I asked seductively.
"Would you like to feel them?" he asked.
*sweat drop*
Now his idiot skills were showing.
"No silly, I meant you know" I stated huskily as I rubbed my finger in slow circles on his chest.
"HELL NO! I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THAT COCAMANY ADVICE OF YOURS!" Lita screamed loudly, knocking over the lawn chair in the process.
"Laura, keep it down!" Nephrite hissed. Good thing there weren't many people at the pool.
"Ignore them" I whispered as I grabbed both of Jedite's shoulders and slowly advanced towards his mouth. This was the moment of truth……..what would he do? Would he pull away or stay put? I inched closer to his lips, slower, slower. It felt like it was an eternity. Slowly, I closed my eyes. Our lips were inches apart. This was the moment. Now was the time. Now was…….
"Jedite, sidebar- NOW!" I heard Nephrite scream, breaking me out of the moment. Crap!! And I was so close too!
"Umm, okay. Excuse me Rachel, you seem to be on top of me" Jedite smirked. Oh, how I wanted to wipe that smirk of his face! But no, I had to keep my cool, or he'd know it was me.
"Oh sorry, tripped I guess" I replied embarrassed. As soon as Nephrite was alone, I had a feeling something very bad was going to happen to him and it would be because of me…..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mmm, Endy" I murmured softly as he trailed a line of butterfly kisses down my neck.
"Oh Sere, you taste so good" I heard him growl under his breath.
"Endy" I whispered as our lips came crashing down into a heated kiss.
"HELL NO! I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THAT COCAMANY ADVICE OF YOURS!"
We broke apart instantly and stared at each other.
"What was that?" Endy asked, breaking the silence that had come between us.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that we're going to find out" I replied standing up. "Do you know where it came from?"
"Well" Endy stated thoughtfully, "It sounded like it came from outside, so my guess is either pool or some of the courts."
"You know, it almost sounded like…." I stopped midway as it dawned on me as to who it was.
"Like…." Endy asked.
"Come on, let's go"
"Not before we clean up" Nodding my head, I quickly went to the bathroom to take a quick shower….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Amy's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Amelia, can I talk to you a second?" Zoisite asked tentatively as Kunzite led Mina to the kitchen for ice cream.
"Sure, what's it about?" I asked, taking a seat back down on the couch.
"Well" he replied, sitting down next to me. "It's about what happened."
"What do you mean Zoisite?" I asked confused. My heart pounded, I became very nervous. What did he want to talk about? What happened in the bedroom? Oh man, I should never have agreed to this stupid plan!
"It's about the fight you girl just got into."
"Oh" I replied, some what relieved. Crap, why'd he have to bring up this subject?
"Did you even hear her out?" he asked. A perfectly reasonable answer, now I just had to give one.
"Well"
"Amelia" he interrupted. "I care about
you a lot. You're a great friend, even
though I've only known you a couple of days.
Please tell me you heard her out."
I looked at him. My heart yearned to just tell him everything; the pranks, the disguise, everything, but I couldn't. I felt something wet fill the corner of my eyes. No, I couldn't cry, I had to be strong. Oh, why does this have to be so complicated? All I wanted to do right now as crawl right into his arms and stay there, but that could happen…….it couldn't happen.
"Amelia, please look at me" Zoisite pleaded, placing his cool fingers under my chin, lifting my gaze off that interesting spot on the floor to his face. "What's wrong?"
"It's just……" I tear slipped down my cheek. "Oh I feel like such an idiot" I cried. I let the waterworks come then. Salty drops of water fell from my eyes and ran down my cheeks.
"Shh, shh, it's alright, it's alright" Zoisite muttered as he took me into his strong embrace. I cried into his shirt. Gosh, I felt like such a child. After a while, I pulled away, and let my crying subside.
"I feel like an idiot" I stated, drying my face of its remaining tears.
"We all make mistakes" Zoisite replied gently.
"WAHHH!!!" I heard a voice cry from in the kitchen. Out of no where, Mina appeared in front of me, red face and all.
"I WANNA APPOLOGIZE!"
*sweat drop*
"Then let's go find them"
"But what about the ice cream?"
* * *
"I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream, RAH! RAH!!! RAH!!!" Mina sang happily as she sat in front of the T.V. with her quart of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream. Honestly, she could eat as much as Serena at times!!!
"Why are you singing?" Zoisite asked irritated.
"Tuesdays, Mondays, we all scream for Sundays! Shh, Boom, BAH!!!"
"Michelle, why don't you stop singing before your ice cream melts" Kunzite suggested, rubbing the area between his eyes.
"Good idea" and with that, she dove into her ice cream.
"Michelle, I think you should slow down" I warned slightly, knowing it would not be a pretty sight if she continued like this.
"Oh lighten up!! It's so yummy! I can't help but eat it fast!" Mina shouted in defense. All of a sudden, her carefree and vibrant face froze and changed drastically to one of pain.
"AHH!!!! BRAIN FREEZE, BRAIN FREEZE!" Mina cried clutching her head.
*sweat drop*
"Why didn't anyone warn me!"
*sweat drop*
"I did" I replied.
"Oh….when?"
*sweat drop*
"Look, Michelle….."
"HELL NO! I WILL NOT LISTEN TO THAT COCAMANY ADVICE OF YOURS!" I heard someone shout from outside. Hmm…it almost sounded like….
"Oh my gosh" I gushed as realization dawned on me.
"What is it Am…..elia?" Mina asked, pausing briefly from her ice cream to ask me.
"Did that just sound like Laura to you?" I asked, turning towards her.
"I think you girls know what to do" Kunzite said standing up from his spot on the couch.
"You're right" I replied, "Come on Michelle." I turned around and began to walk towards the door with Zoisite and Kunzite right behind me. "Are you coming?"
"……but what about the ice cream?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Raye's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jedite got up and walked over to where Nephrite was now standing. Looking over at Lita, I saw her just sitting there in a huff.
"What's wrong?" I asked. "Nephrite didn't fall for the flirting? What happened?"
"Well" Lita huffed, "I was flirting with him, and he didn't seem to mind. Then, just as I was about to ask him if he had a girlfriend, he brought up the stupid fight and how we should apologize!! I mean, us apologize! He said that I should listen to him. Well, I had just lost it then. Now he won't leave me alone! I told him that I'd follow his advice when hell freezed over and you know what he replied, he said that he heard on the News that it was today!! An all record low! Oh I swear, I'll kill him as soon as I'm alone with him!"
"That jackass!" I screamed in anger. "How dare he suggest that WE apologize to THEM. It's THEM that should be apologizing to US!"
"Excuse me ladies, but we have a proposition for you" Nephrite said plainly as he walked back over to us.
"Oh and what that might be?" I asked, venom dripping from my voice. "We follow your advice of yours?"
"Hehehe, no, well kinda. Here's the proposition. From what I can tell, Laura, you're pretty strong, right?" Nephrite asked.
"Yea…." Lita replied. Okay, what does this have to do with anything? Anybody know?
"And me, I'm pretty strong myself, so here's our proposition. As you know, we feel that you should go upstairs and apologize to the girls. I mean, you didn't even hear them out! But since we know that you won't do that on your own free will, how about a little game of chicken in the pool? If we win, you have to go upstairs, listen to their reasons, and apologize to them" Nephrite explained.
"And if we win?" Lita asked.
"If you win, you can just forget that I ever brought the subject up" Nephrite replied smugly.
"Hmm, I don't know if that's very fair" Lita expressed. "What do you think Rachel, do you think it's fair?"
"Oh me?" I asked, catching on to her thought. "I don't think it's very fair either. You'll have to do something else."
"Like what?" Jedite asked suspiciously.
"Like……I dunno…….for an entire day, you'll have to be our personal servants, does that sound fair?" Lita asked.
"You're kidding!" Jedite protested, "I mean…."
"It's a deal" Nephrite interrupted. SCORE!!!! Holding out his hand, Lita vigorously grabbed it and shook it.
"Deal"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jedite's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I watched Nephrite and Laura shake hands, I couldn't help but feel I just sold my soul to the devil.
"Prepare to loose" Laura smiled viciously as her and Rachel walked over to the side of the pool. Walking back over to me, I glared daggers at Nephrite.
"Dude, you idiot! I screamed throwing my hands in the air "Now we HAVE to win! I'm too young and beautiful to be a slave!"
Nephrite glared at me. That can't be good.
"Jedite, do you really think that I'd make bet with someone unless I knew that I could win?"
"Well, there was that one time with Lady…."
"You know what I mean" Nephrite growled. Geese this guy was touché. Looking over both my shoulders, to make sure that no one was listening, I came to the conclusion that we were the only ones there. I guess Laura knows how to scare people off.
"How are we going to win though?"
"Look, where's Raye ticklish?" Nephrite prompted.
"Stomach, why?"
"Dude, if you can get her to laugh, then she'll be moving, and if she's moving, Laura will have a harder time holding on to. The more Rachel moves, the more Laura's going to loose her balance. Get the picture?" he asked.
"Umm………no"
*sweat drop*
"JUST FIND HER TICKLISH SPOT!" he whispered harshly.
"Oh, okie dokie, I can do that" I replied happily. By the look on his face, I could tell that that was not the answer he wanted. Looking around, I noticed that the clock on the building read five o'clock. Pick on Nephrite time.
"Just don't let Rachel intimidate you" Nephrite whispered.
"WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING!??!?!" I asked loudly, causing Laura and Rachel to look at us.
"You IDIOT!" Nephrite screamed. "Do you wanna tell them our plan too?"
"Why, should I?" I asked.
*sweat drop*
"Yea, go ahead, that is, unless you wanna be a slave"
"WHAT?!?!? I'M TO YOUNG AND BEAUTIFULTO BE A SLAVE!!" I cried in horror.
"Dude, you said that already" Nephrite whispered.
"AHH!!! NOW I'M REPEATING MYSELF!!!"
*sweat drop*
"Hey, are you guys going to stand there all day or are we going to fight?" Laura called from the pool. Rachel was already on her shoulders and ready to go.
"Coming!" Nephrite called back. Turning towards me he whispered urgently again, "Just find her ticklish spot!" Heading towards the water, I followed behind him. Pulling off my shirt and socks, I entered the water. Nephrite followed suit and entered behind me.
"So are you guys ready to lose?" Laura asked tauntingly.
"I don't think so" I replied back smugly.
"May the best team win"
"Oh don't worry, we will"
I crawled onto Nephrite's shoulders and the fight began.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Darien's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well, they weren't near the courts, or playing in them, so they must be by the pool" I stated factually as Sere and I walked towards the pool, hand and hand I might add.
"I wonder what's going…..guys, what are you doing here?" Sere asked quizzically as "Amelia", "Michelle", Kunzite and Zoisite approached us.
"Well…umm….we….umm…." Mina muttered incoherently.
"Go on" Kunzite urged.
"We want to say we're sorry for blowing up Ser….ah" Mina stated. "Can you forgive us?"
"We didn't mean it" Amy supplied. "It…..just happened."
Looking at Sere, I saw that she was smiling.
"Of course I forgive you guys" she replied, pulling them into a huge
girl group hug. Her smile shone brightly
as they began to talk. Just watching her
made me smile, she always did that.
"Hey, isn't that Jedite and Nephrite?" Zoisite asked suddenly, breaking the girls out of their conversation.
"What? Where?" Amy asked. Turning towards the glass doors that led out to the pool, I saw a rather unusual sight. Raye was on top of Lita's shoulders and Jedite was on top of Nephrite's shoulders.
"What are they doing?" Kunzite asked, completely disgusted by what it was.
"It looks like their playing chicken" Amy replied knowingly.
"This I gotta see" I stated as I began to watch the event through the glass doors.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Jedite's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Okay, just find her ticklish spot, just find her ticklish spot' I rambled in my mind.
"Give up now while you still can" I heard Rachel taunt as she moved her hands around on my shoulders.
'Mmm, that feels so good…..'
"Jedite, SNAP OUT OF IT!" Nephrite screamed, trying to keep his balance.
"What? Oh, sorry" I replied snapping back to reality.
'Let's see, ticklish spot, ticklish spot…'
*****Flashback*****
"Look, where's Raye ticklish?" Nephrite prompted.
"Stomach, why?"
****End flashback****
Bingo.
Moving my hands from Rachel's shoulders, I viciously began to tickle her stomach.
"Jedite what are you….hahaha…..stop….hahahaha……this isn't funny!" Rachel screamed in laughter.
"Rachel, STOP MOVING!" Laura screamed as she tried to keep her balance. Seeing as to how my plan was working, I continued to tickle Rachel with one hand and brought another hand slowly to her shoulder….
SPLASH
"Rachel, HOW COULD YOU!"
We had won….all thanks to me I might add.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Serena's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Did you see what just happened?" I asked turning to look at Endy.
"Yea I did, come on, let's go in"
We opened the doors and began to file in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Nephrite's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"We won!" I screamed in delight. "Woo hoo!!! Go us!!!"
"We won, we won, go us, go us" Jedite chanted, moving around on my shoulders.
"Jedite you idiot, stop moving!" I ordered, but he paid no heed.
"Jedite….stop….."
SPLASH
SPLASH
Memo to self: Kill Jedite.
Surfacing to the surface, I was greeted by the sound of laughing. Looking up, I saw that everyone was there. Glancing at Rachel and Laura, they gently pulled the girls aside. Swimming over to the side, the guys helped me out of the water.
"Woo hoo! We won, we won, go us!" Jedite chanted annoyingly as he too was helped out of the water.
"Jedite, shut up already!" Kunzite growled. Glad to see I wasn't the only one.
"We won, we won, go us, go………"
SPLASH
Zoisite brushed his hands together and walked silently away from the pool as Jedite came up from the water gasping for breath. We stared at him as he walked over and sat down on the lawn chairs laid out by the hotel.
"He….he….he…" Jedite sputtered coming back to land, but I paid no attention. My eye was on the girls in the corner making up. I smiled inwardly at a job well done.
"Hey guys!" Michelle cried suddenly.
"Yea?" I replied looking over at her and the girls.
"What do you wanna do now?"
"Umm…."
"Hey I know" Laura grinned evilly.
"What, pray tell, is that?" Zoisite inquired.
"Who's up for going back to the condo and playing truth or dare?"
---------YEA!!! I'm DONE!!!
