With the sun beaming down on her bronzed body, Amy adjusted the sunglasses on her face and shifted around on the dewy sand. She looked over and saw Torrie, Stacy, Lisa, Trish and Gail doing the exact same thing.

Torrie and Stacy was lying on their stomachs, getting their tan on their backs. Lisa was reading a book, Trish and Gail was making a sand castle. Amy just laid on her back and soaked in the sun as the clear blue water crashed against their bikini waxed bodies.

"Ah, this is the life," Amy sighed deeply.

"Tell me about it, girlfriend. Being with your best friends on a tropical island is just awesome," Stacy said with a grin.

Trish dust the sand off her legs. "Amy, coming here was a great idea. All six of us together makes all the difference in the world."

"I know what you mean. Who knows when the next time we're gonna get together like this again," Gail declared as she placed her sunglasses on her face.

Torrie groaned. "Gail, let's not go there. Let's just have fun, okay?"

"Torrie's right. I just wanna spend this time with my girlfriends. Let's leave it at that," Lisa demanded.

Amy turned on her stomach and removed her bikini top. "So, what's on the agenda for tonight?"

"How about we go to a club? Torrie and I went online and we found some interesting places to go to. Are you game?" Stacy asked.

"Sure, I'm down," Amy said.

"Count me in. I would love to go clubbin'," Gail replied with a grin.

Trish sat up and wiped the said away from her. "You can count me in, too."

Lisa sat her book down. "I'm down."

"Might as well count me in, too. I need to explore Hawaii, anyway," Torrie declared.

"Great!" Stacy exclaimed. "So, we'll stay out here a little bit longer and we'll go back to our room and get ready for our night out on the town!"

Later that night...

"Ames, are you ready yet?" Trish called from the bedroom. She was applying make up in the mirror.

"I'll be ready in a minute. I just need to apply my make up and I'll be all set!" Amy answered from the bathroom.

Trish groaned as she sat on the bed, trying to keep her lavender halter top and tight pants from being dirty. After a few more hours of tanning, the ladies decided to head inside and get ready for their night out on the town.

Since they arrived, the hotel room arrangements have been hectic. First, there was no room to fit all six ladies so they had to put in the room, two at a time.

Trish and Amy immediately decided to share a room together, since they're both neat freaks. The other ladies tend to be slobs at times.

A few minutes later, Amy came out of the bathroom, decked in a short red halter top, red leather pants and red high heeled sandals. Her fiery hair was pulled up into a ponytail and her face was made into a natural glow.

"Damn, girl. Can't you wear another color?" Trish asked, looking at her astonished.

Amy laughed. "I have you know that red is my favorite color. If you don't like it, kiss my ass!"

Trish laughed before she hopped off of bed. "I can't believe you're going out wearing that...again."

Amy snorted. "I have you know this is my favorite outfit. My mother got this for me on my 17th birthday and I loved it ever since."

"I rest my case, then. I'm sure you'll end up wearing it on your 50th birthday." Trish laughed.

Amy took exception to what her best friend said and threw a pillow at her. Trish stopped laughing for a moment before she threw one back at her. The two ladies ended up having a pillow fight before there was a knock at the door.

"Damn. I'm glad you didn't ruin my outfit, woman," Trish said before she went and opened the door.

"Ladies, are we ready?" Stacy and Torrie stepped inside, wearing matching black leather dresses.

"Didn't anyone ever said you two look like twins?" Trish chuckled.

Torrie stuck her tongue out at her. "At least we wear simple colors. What the hell is up with you wearing lavender?"

"Lavender is very lucrative. It's light and fresh. Compare to Amy's red outfit, I have no inner bitch in me," Trish said with a smile.

"Hey!" Amy exclaimed.

Stacy threw her arms around Amy. "Don't get upset, girl. Let's go party!"

The club they decided to go was in full swing by the time they walked inside. The place was filled with high school and college students, standing around talking, drinking, dancing, laughing and just having a good time.

"Man, this place is packed!" Gail screamed. Like Stacy and Torrie, Gail opted to wear an all white, strapless leather dress. The skirt rested above her thighs and her long black hair flowed freely.

"You're telling me," Lisa agreed. She wore an strapless purple halter top, black hip huggers and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail.

"Shall we go in there and dance out asses off?" Stacy suggested.

"Let's," the other ladies said before the headed towards the dance floor.

Throughout the night, the ladies was dancing with every guy that came their way. But, it was Amy who was racking up dance partners the most. Her carefree, free sprit personality was the reason why boys fall for her in the first place.

"Excuse me, Miss. May I have this dance?" a deep, male voice asked her from behind.

She turned around and was shocked to see Hunter standing there, smiling at her. Immediately, she leaped in his arms and kissed him passionately.

"What are you doing here?" Amy asked, looking surprised.

"I was lonely back home so I decided to come here and surprise you. And, I wanted to give you this," he said as he handed her a small black velvet box.

She opened it and was stunned to see a diamond ring sparkle in her eyes. Tears of joy fell from her eyes when he got down on his knee, causing the crowd to stop what they were doing and gather around the couple.

"Amy Christine Dumas, I had loved you for so long. I wanted tonight to be just right so, here I am, down on my knees, asking you to be my wife. Ames, will you marry me?" Hunter asked.

She couldn't believe it! Her boyfriend was proposing to her right in front of everyone! How sweet is that?

She took the ring out of the box and placed it on her finger. "I love you, Hunter. I would love nothing more than to be your wife."

He scooped her up in his arms and twirled her around while the crowd cheered them on. Lisa, Trish, Gail, Stacy and Torrie cried for their best friend.

"Our little girl's growing up," Stacy cried while she hugged Torrie.

"You said it," Trish said with a smile.

Three weeks later...

After the ladies got home from Hawaii, they decided to hang around each other before they had to leave for college. Classes was in two more weeks so they went shopping for clothes, shoes, school supplies and any other things they needed to get ready.

For Amy, Trish, Stacy, Torrie, Lisa and Gail, saying good-bye to each other will be the toughest thing they had to do.

Two weeks later...

"This is it. This is the end of us as we know it," Gail said, tears falling from her eyes.

Stacy cried. "I'm gonna miss you all. You guys are the greatest friends a girl could ask for."

The ladies were at the airport. They were getting ready to leave for college. The night before, all six ladies spent the night at Amy's house, playing games, watching movies and talking about their friendship.

"I'm so emotional right now. I'm gonna miss you all so much. You're the closest thing to family I had forever," Amy said, fresh tears falling from her eyes.

Trish hugged Amy. "As far as I'm concerned, you are my family. All of you are my sisters. I'm so fortunate to share my life, my experiences and my joy with all of you."

"I feel the same way, girl. I love you all so much," Lisa said before she went over and hugged Gail. Soon, all six ladies joined together in a group hug and cried.

When Amy's flight was announced, she looked at her best friends for the last time before she headed for the terminal. She turned around and, with tears falling from her blood shot eyes, waved at her 'sisters' one last time before she disappeared.

"Well, my flight's next. I guess I'll be on my way. I love you all," Lisa said before she picked up her bags and headed for the terminal, crying all the way.

Gail was next to leave. "I better get going. One of the people from the university is picking me up when I land in Vancouver. I love you all very much."

She left, which left the three beautiful blonds. Out of the three, Torrie and Stacy will be going to same college and will be rooming together. Trish has decided to back to her family's hometown and attend York University.

"You two behave, okay? Don't party too much," Trish scolded them playfully.

"Don't worry, Mom. Stacy and I will look out for each other. You just take care of yourself, okay?" Torrie said before she hugged Trish tightly.

"I will. I love you both," Trish replied before she headed for the terminal.

Torrie and Stacy stood there, crying. Holding hands, they headed for the terminal, holding back their tears as they kiss their childhood dreams good-bye forever.

I'm so emotional right now! Well, now that high school's over with, I can go on with the adult years, starting with the next chapter!
