Ami tossed in her bed as memories of the past decided
to haunt her dreams. Flashes of how she and Lita met,
they're first dance(it was meant as a joke, but both
enjoyed being in the others arms), the battles where
they had helped one another...Eventually, all of these
memories lead up to their friendship becoming more...
Ami's face showed not only frustration, but fear. She
was having the dream again of Seijuurou holding
Jupiter over a ledge. But, this time, he actually
dropped her...
"NOOOOOOO!!!" Ami shot her eyes open. Someone was
holding her, rocking her back and forth. Offering
words of comfort.
Lacy held her 'baby' sister close as she stroked her
short, blue hair. "It's ok, B.B. Big sis is here. It
was only a dream..." Lacy hugged her tighter.
Ami snaked her arms around Lacy's waist and pulled her
closer. "I miss her, Lace," Ami confesed.
"I know you do, Ames." Lacy pushed Ami away just far
enough to look at her. "Go back to her, Ami. Ease all
three of our minds." Lacy smiled kindly.
"I can't..."
"Why? 'Cause of Dad?" Lacy asked. Ami nodded, back
into her sister's embrace. "He can't do anything to
you, Ami. I honestly doubt he's gonna fly here from
New York to tell you not to date her." Ami didn't say
anything. She just held Lacy like a scared child held
on to their mother.
Lacy smiled gently. "You sleepy now, Ami?" Ami nodded
'yes.' "Do you want me to sing you to sleep?" Ami
smiled and nodded again. Lacy swayed Ami back and
forth, humming a few notes. Ami closed her eyes as she
began to sing...:
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Would you hold my hand
if I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
if I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.
Time can bring you down,
time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
have you begging please, begging please.
Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven.
Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven.
Lacy smiled at Ami. She had sang her little sister to
sleep with their favorite song. Smiling, although a
sad smile, Lacy tucked her sister in to her bed, and
kissed her good-night...
Just a few blocks away, another pretty girl was also
having problems sleeping. Lita tossed in her as her
memories came back to her of their relationship.
Screaming, Lita shot up in her bed, seweaty and
gasping for air. She couldn't take much more of
this...Ami was her life. Lita thought she felt the
same way after they had went through a few weeks
before.
Lita didn't understand anything anymore. Maybe they
weren't meant to be...But Ami should have at least
told her why she had dumped her in the first place.
But, Lita knew it had to be something major. When Ami
broke up with her, tears were already staining her
pretty face.
Lita sighed and looked out her bed room window. Snow
began to fall again that night for the third time.
Lita rolled over onto her side as a tear made it's way
down her face...
"Ok," Lacy thought out loud. "I have to make them get
back together..." Lacy was sitting in front of her tv
in her bedroom, playing 'The Ocarina of Time.'
Whenever she needed to think, this was the game she
played.*
As she played the game and bea the second Ganon, a
thought came into Lacy's mind. Smiling knowingly, Lacy
quickly shut off the game and ran out of her room.
As she grabbed her coat by the door, she glanced at
her watch. "Aw, man...she's still in school for
another two and half hours..." Lacy stood there and
thought for a minute. Than, another plan began to form
and her smile grew...
Lacy parked across the street of the high school Ami
and her friends attened. Lacy waited until she saw
Lita and drove a little behind her. Lita, when she
came out of the building, didn't say much to the other
girls. She said her good-byes and quickly left before
she had to see Ami.
As Lita began to cross the street, a loud, honking
noise made her jump. She looked at who honked at her
and smiled when she saw it was Lacy.
Lacy rolled down her electronic windows and said,"
Hey, sweet thang! Going my way?" Lacy was always a
flirt...
Lita smiled. "No. I need to think some things out.
Thanks Lacy." She turned to leave.
Lacy became serious. "Ok, how about, get in the car so
I can talk to you about Ami?" Lita stopped and turned
around...
Lita unlocked her apartment door and she and Lacy
entered. Lita took their coats and hanged them in the
closet. Lita was a little worried. "Well?"
Lacy smirked. "Nervous, Lita?"
"I'll go make some tea." Lita left and went into her
kitchen. Lacy sat down in the chair and waited for
Lita to return.
When she did return, Lita poured a two cups of tea and
sat on the couch. "Well,"Lita asked. "What did you
have to tell me?"
Lacy smiled, almost nervously. "Ami dumped you, didn't
she?"
Lacy's bluntness startled Lita. She thought Lacy would
have been a little more scared, kind of like Ami, when
it came to matters of the heart. Apparently not...
"Yeah, she did."
Lacy nodded. "Did she tell you why?" Lita shook her
head 'no.' Lacy again nodded aand pulled a peice of
paper from her back pocket. She handed it to Lita.
"Read this."
Lita did as she was told. "Why is it so wrinkled?"
Lacy smiled. "I kinda got mad and threw it away after
I read it..."
Lita read to herself and tears weld up in her eyes.
After reading it, she asked: "This is why Ami dumped
me?Because of your father?"
"Yeah. I don't know why she did it. She said she had
to honor his wishes 'cause he's still her father. You
don't wanna know my reply to her statement." Lacy
smiled slyly. Lita bowed her head, as if in defeat.
"Lita, I'm willing to help you win back my
sister..."Lita looked up. "But, only if you answer me
one thing."
Lita nodded quickly. "Anything..."
"Do you love my sister? I mean REALLY love my sister?"
Lita's tone was serious. "Very much so... I'd die for
her."
Lacy smiled...
