Part One: Idyllic Summer

Right now, at this moment, everything was perfect, sun above her, water splashing and summer in an exotic country. It was the makings of paradise. It's been three years since she left the D.E.B.S. with a known criminal mastermind with a fetish for diamonds and a bizarre hate on for Australians.

Considering everything, and where she was now, worse thing s could have happened. Amy smiled, blinking as one of the cabana boys passed by with the drinks. It certainly didn't hurt that said criminal mastermind was loaded. Amy stretched out just her phone began ringing to the tune of the newest pop song sensation, she reached out, feeling positively languid. She'd never been this… idyll in the D.E.B.S., she wasn't allowed to be.

"Hello." Amy sat-up, placed the phone on her right shoulder and grabbed the lotion as she listened. "No, we are not talking about this. No. No. Lucy. No."

Suddenly the person on the other end turned from vocal to the beeping tone of a cut connection. Amy stared at the phone and closed it with a sigh, only to ring again. "Hello."

"Barcelona phones are lousy." Groused Lucy.

"Maybe because Barcelona phones are not made for skydiving."

"I should sue the phone company."

"How long before you hit Earth?"

"Three minutes, give or take. You should have come with me."

Amy grinned. "I've been cooped up in school for the past few months, I like to enjoy the sun from this point of view thank you very much ."

"Okay. You know, I think you should really consider my idea."

"No. I really shouldn't."

"It'll be easy!"

"No, Lucy, we are not kidnapping my mother if she refuses our invitation."

"She doesn't like me."

Amy could hear the wind kick-up, distorting Lucy's words, she looked up, shading her eyes and tried to see were her erstwhile lover was. "She does like you. Its just she hasn't forgotten that you're the reason why I gave-up my lucrative career in espionage for art."

"Yeah, well—" There was a gurgle and a hiss, and the connection had cut off again. Amy shut the phone again, saw the pin prick that was Lucy and stood-up. Soon a bloom of red and blue fabric loomed over the sky then flopped on the sand not too far away.

Lucy emerged from the parachute, grinning like a fool, pulled the chute together, then unbuckled the belt but didn't bother to take off the skydiving suit. "Right on the money!" Shouted Lucy, taking off her goggles. Wind blown and ruddy skinned Lucy looked magnificent, and walked towards Amy when she was close, she dropped the chute on the sand and pulled Amy to her. "Give us a kiss, precious!"

Amy managed a surprised laugh before she was silenced by Lucy's brand of hello. It was long and passionate and, Amy fancied, tasted like sunshine. Lucy pulled back, smiling mischeviously. "Missed me?"

"Yes, but I just want to point out, you landed a meter off your mark."

"No, I didn't." Lucy glanced behind and squinted. "I landed exactly where I was meant to."

Amy shook her head. "No, you didn't."

Lucy let go of her and put on a mock hurt expression. "You callin' me a liar."

"No, I'm calling you a pushover." Before Lucy could reply, Amy pushed her, surprised Lucy flailed for a second before falling on the sand.

"Jesus!"

Amy started laughing at Lucy's stunned expression. "Not so badass now, are you?"

"You are so dead!" Promised Lucy, standing.

"If you can catch me, Diamond!" Taunted Amy fleeing the scene of the crime. Lucy sprang from the ground, and gave chase. Moments later, breathless but successful Lucy was sprawled on the sand once more, this time with Amy beside her.

"I love summer." Announced Lucy.

"I know you do."

"That's why your mother should say yes to the invite and enjoy the original latino heat!"

"I'm not arguing with you on that."

"I mean if she doesn't… another summer gone, and you know I can't go back stateside with all the standing warrants, unless---"

"No. I am not letting you do anything illegal." Amy said in a firm voice. "You do anything illegal and the D.E.B.S. will take that as a sign you're not fulfilling your end of the bargain."

Lucy sighed blowing her bangs out of her eyes, she sat-up, and proceeded to get out of the skydiving suit, Amy smiled. "Let me help."

The corners of Lucy's mouth quirked up. "Thought you'd never ask."

Amy raised her eyebrow and proceeded to help divest Lucy of the clunky suit, Lucy tilted her head. "Hey, isn't that your phone?"

"What?" Amy imitated Lucy's head tilt and heard it, it was indeed her phone. "Damn, it is."

"That's your mom's assigned ring tone, I believe."

"Be back." Amy stood up and started running towards the reclined beach chair.

Lucy pulled at the suit, signaled to one of the cabana boys and gave it to him. "Tell everyone to get gone."

Cabana boy nodded, Lucy waited for him to leave before approaching Amy.

"Yeah, mom, yeah. It's safe. Yes, it is." Lucy heard Amy say. Lucy looked at Amy and watched as Amy roll her eyes, then mouth the words: 'Sorry.'

Lucy shrugged and flopped on the sand and rifled to the stack of newspapers and magazines beside Amy's seat. Fashion magazine, art magazine, sketch books, newspapers—

Oh, hello.

Lucy plucked the paper from under the stack, and smiled at the headline:

Maharajah Diamond arrives in Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain -- The Maharajah Diamond, known for its size and flawless cut has arrived in Barcelona in style, out on loan from Billionaire industrialists Richard Matthews…

Lucy grinned. My, wasn't that interesting?
