**************
The sun shone through the blinds onto the two sleeping
figures in the bed. Sighing contently, Lita snuggled
closer to the warm body next to her own.
Lita's eyes weren't open yet, but she knew(or at least
she thought she did) who was next to her...
Downstairs, Lacy stood at the stove flipping a
pancake. Sitting at the counter was Ami reading the
newspaper. Their mother had already left for the day,
leaving the girls alone. But, they didn't mind.
"Hey, B.B.?" Lacy asked. "Why didn't you wake Lita
up?"
"I hate that nickname. Why do you call me that all the
time," Ami asked, lowering the paper to look at her
sister. Lacy just shrugged. "I didn't see the point in
waking her. Just let her sleep until breakfast is
ready."
"Ok, Ames. I was just asking." Lacy, still in her
pj's, placed the brown pancake on one of three plates,
and poured the batter into the pan for another. "How
long have you two been dating, anyway?"
"Almost two weeks. Are those done yet?" Ami asked.
"I'm hungry."
"I know..." Lacy's sentance was cut off by an ear
peircing scream coming from Ami's bedroom. Lacy and
Ami looked at each other before running towards the
stairs.
It was Lita who screamed. She came running down the
stairs like a bat out of hell and hid behind Ami.
"Lita," she asked. "What's wrong?"
"There's a huge...huge... THING! In the bed!" Lita
exclaimed.
An irritated look crossed Ami's face as she looked at
Lacy. "Where's Brutis, Lacy?"
Lacy smiled weakly. Looking back up towards the
stairs, Lacy called, "Brutis! Come here, boy!" In a
few seconds, a solid black great dane's head appeared
from Ami's room.
Ami sighed. "Come here, Brutis." The dog came down the
stairs and stopped at Ami's out streached hand. She
snapped her fingers and the dog sat, looking up at Ami
like she was his mother. "Is this what scared you,
Lita?"
Lita sighed. "Yeah. I thought it was a cow, or
something." She came out from behind Ami and carefully
petted the dog's head. Which, he enjoyed.
"I'm going back before that pancake burns," Lacy said,
heading back towards the kitchen.
Lita looked at Ami and pointed in the direction of the
kitchen. "She cooks?"
Ami nodded. "No offense, but she cooks better."
Lita's face fell. "Thanks alot..." She began to head
towards the kitchen and Ami stopped her by grabbing
her hand.
"I'm sorry, Lita." Ami walked next to her girlfriend,
stood on her tip toes and kissed Lita's nose. "Come
on," Ami said, lacing her fingers with Lita's. "Lets
go eat."
When they reached the kitchen, Lacy was placing the
plates of pancakes on the table. Lacy sat in front of
her plate and began to pour the syrup as Lita and Ami
sat down to theirs...
After breakfast and washing the dirty dishes, the
girls got dressed. Lita had to wear the same thing she
had on yesterday: a green sweater, blue jeans, and
boots. Ami wore a thick blue sweater, a blue jean
skirt that came to her knees, light blue leg warmers,
and black boots. Lacy wore a tee shirt with a red
Anarchy sign, baggy blue jeans, and boots, also(it is
winter!).
After getting their jackets, the three girls headed
out the door towards Lacy's Kia Sportage. It was
forest green, and had tan leather seats. Lacy got in
on the drivers side and unlocked the doors. Ami
climbed into the front passenger side and Lita sat in
the back seat.
"So," Lacy asked, pulling away from the curb. "Where
are we going?"
"First, Lita's apartment so she can change," Ami said.
"Then the Arcade."
"You actually LIKE the arcade, Ami," Lacy asked.
"Well," Lita said. "It's not so much if we like it,
it's just where we always meet our friends on
Saturdays."
"Oh," Lacy said. "Where do you live, Lita?"
"Green Tree apartments."
"Oh, I know where that is. Actually, we're almost
there." Lacy drove the Kia a few more miles before
turning left and than right into a parking garage.
"What floor?"
"Fifth," Lita answered. Lacy drove to the fifth floor
and parked next to a door. Lita jumped out of the car
and ran to her apartment.
"Ami?" Ami looked at Lacy. "Do your friends know about
you and Lita?"
Ami shook her head. "Not yet," she said shyly.
"Why?"
"We're afraid they won't understand," Ami said
truthfully.
"Ok, than I won't mention it to them either. But you
have to tell them sooner or later," Lacy stated.
"I know..." Ami said. Lita came through the doors and
climbed back inside the car.
"Gods, it's cold," She said. "We ready?"
"Yup," Lacy said putting the car into reverse. "Now,
on to the Arcade!.."
"Man,"Lacy said, stepping through the sliding doors of
the Crown Arcade. "Think there are enough games?"
"Come on," Ami said laughing at her sister. "Lets go."
Ami and Lita lead the way to their usual booth. The
booth was in the cornor and was rounded. It could seat
at least ten people. Lita and Ami slid in on one side
while Lacy sat across from them.
"It's almost noon," Lita said, checking her watch.
"The girls should be here any minute." No sooner had
she said it, than three girls walked in. Lita waved
them over. "Over here guys!"
"There they are," Mina said. "Who is that third
person?"
"Who," Serena asked, not paying attention. " I only
see Lita and Ami sitting across from her." They walked
over and Lacy stood to let them sit down. Ami was
hiding under the table(actually, she dropped her
napkin...), so they didn't know it was someone else.
"Hey, Ami," Rei said. "Is your hair shorter?"
"Huh?" Ami appeared from under the table(with her
napkin) and was sitting next to Lita again.
The three girls stared at Ami and Lacy. "I don't get
it," Mina said.
Lacy, who was sitting next to Mina, smiled. "I'm Lacy
Anderson. I'm Ami's older sister."
"You guys look the same age,' Serena said, flagging
Andrew over.
"Were twins," Ami said. "She's older by five minutes
exactly."
"Um, I don't understand," Rei said. "Ami's last name
is 'Mizuno.' If you're sisters, why is your last name
different?"
"Simple," Lacy said. "Our father is American. Well,
half American. Anyway, when our parents divorced, Mom
changed Ami's last name to her maiden name, Mizuno.
Thats why we have different last names." Lacy looked
up at the blonde standing next to her. "I'll have a
coke. I'm not very hungry, thanks."
"Ok," Andrew said. He had heard the story of Ami and
Lacy(well, part of it anyway) and was now taking
orders. After getting them, he left.
"So," Serena asked. "How long you staying with us,
Lacy?"
Lacy looked at her confused. " 'Us'?"
"Let me explain something," Serena said, gestering
towards herself and the others."We're all a family.
Being Ami's sister, you're part of our family."
Lacy looked at the blonde's smiling face than back at
Ami. " Should I be scared??"
When Lacy and Ami got home that night, Lacy had
received a letter from Mr. Anderson. Lacy cringed and
Ami smiled. "I really don't wanna open this..." Lacy
said, trailing off.
"Why not," Ami asked, hanging her coat.
"I just have a bad feeling, that's all." Lacy also
hung her coat.
"Go ahead and open it. What could be so bad," Ami
asked.
"With Dad?" Lacy asked. "I guess I should tell you. I
told Dad who you were dating..."
Ami's face paled slightly. Their father was never very
open minded. "W-what did he say?"
"Lets just say he cussed everybody but the Pope," Lacy
said. Looking back down at the letter, she added,
"Now, do you see why I don't want to open it?"
Ami nodded. "You still should..."
With trembling fingers, Lacy ripped open one end of
the letter. After unfolding it, she began to read
it:...
