~~~~A day in the life of a store owner [Then]~~~~

Nikki yawned lightly, tousling his long work hardened fingers through thick blonde hair. It was pretty freakin' slow in the morning. So slow in fact, it was already about 10:30 and he'd only had one customer. A rude teenager too of all things. Fucking bratty kids, at least his had come out fine.

After a moment of staring at the new order catalog he just yawned again. 52 years and he still couldn't find it in him to be a morning person. It just wasn't his thing, really. His wife and son just popped up like weeds or something. Uh, or daises? His love hadn't cared much for the weed analogy last time he'd said it. At least Amy wasn't such a freak of nature. Better than him to be sure, but at LEAST he had one member of his gang who wanted to sleep in too.

The male blinked when he heard screeching from outside. Who the hell could be driving like that in THIS town?? No one speeded around here, except for maybe him, and Liv as a teenager... Not that he had, er, condoned such things. When he heard the screeching again, but closer, he just HAD to get a look. So with a light smile, the order form was tossed casually behind him. The fact that he had to pick that up eventually could be thought about later.

By the time he'd reached the display window the thing he'd been hearing passed by, none other than the cadillac he'd been admiring before setting out for work that very morning. Blonde brows slightly darker than his hair lifted high into the air as the classic colored car swerved as it zoomed down the street, almost crashing into an innocent little Nissan.

The real reason that his brows were touching the ceiling though? The fact that his daughter appeared to be screaming bloody murder, was sitting on her 'best friends' lap, clutching Lucy's shoulders tightly, and had her head buried against the crook of the brunettes neck. Or maybe it was the fact that this was all going on while Lucy was driving, and that the girl almost crashed because she was busy kissing Amy's neck and shoulder? Er... and all the screeching speedy stuff?

Ah, to be young. Wait, had he ever had fun like that when he was young? GREAT! Now he was jealous of his own daughter. With a smile, he turned around to go get that order form. That girl was getting a scolding. Distracting a driver wasn't a nice thing to do.

~~~~A driving lesson for Miss B-... Diamond? [STILL then]~~~~

Lucy nipped her shoulder a bit harder this time, delighting in the way the blonde's heart started beating ever faster. She could feel it with the ex-deb pressed so close. Heh, she liked this, feeling Amy get riled up. It would have been better if she'd been naked. Much easier to hear her pulse thudding against hot sweat soaked ski-

"Lucy, you missed another turn."

"Hm?" The brunette looked up into the deep blue pools of her girlfriends eyes. "Oh, Uh, so it was a right there?" After a moment, Lucy's mouth broke into a smile as she leaned in "I wanted to take the scenic route." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively before her white teeth scraped along Amy's shoulder once again.

"Lucy!!!", Amy gasped and gripped Lucy's shoulders tighter. This was just getting to be too much teasing for her tastes. Actually, strange things were happening to her body. Little electric shocks zipping up and down her nerves wherever the woman underneath her touched. The blonde swallowed slightly, not missing Lucy's ever present smirk widening at the action. It looked like some spy tactics were needed before Lucy... consumed her. "Huh, maybe you're just making excuses since you don't know where you're going"

"What????!" Lucy's instant frown made the deb cheer mentally.

"I kept saying 'Go right', and you went left. Maybe you should have a pet rock...", Amy's voice lowered as she brought up a really old military trick. When you didn't know your right from left, they made you carry around a huge rock always on your right side until you 'got it right'. When Lucy's jaw dropped, she had to hold back a snort of laughter, knowing her girlfriend got the reference.

"Pet rock!? You have to be kidding me. I have a great memory, just watch. Tell me where to go one more time allll right now, and you won't even need to repeat yourself."

"Well, alright. Left, left, go to the second stoplight and take a right, then you have to go straight to Elmond street, and take one last left. Then it's just straight into the parking lot."

"Alrighty" Lucy smirked. Way too easy... or so she thought.

It was in these moments that the darker side of Amy Bradshaw could be uncovered. Honestly? It was a side only few people ever got to see, but Lucy was 'Lucky' enough to be the subject of it quite frequently. When her normally cheery blue eyes darkened sinfully, and she got that slight smirk to her lips it was a sign that some form of trouble was underfoot. Lucy knew that NOW, but back then? Nope...

Right as the Skymobile skidded into the first left turn, Lucy felt Amy's fingers dancing along the nape of her neck. Amy hitting on her?? The thief caught Amy's stare for a split second before her eyes averted back to the road, quite a bit wider than they were before. What the hell??? Amy's expression had be-... No way! Don't think about it Diamond!!! Okay okay, next left.

Was Amy SQUIRMING IN HER LAP!??!!?! Her fingers started to white knuckle the steering wheel when she felt the blonde's toned ass rub against a certain area that hadn't exactly gotten enough attention for the past 3 years or so- She blinked as she almost missed her turn, her hands clumsily maneuvering the wheel just in time to baaaarely make it. Did she care though? Fuck no. The thief was a little more preoccupied by nails scraping against the top of her spine as Amy's finger's slipped down the neck of her shirt. Oh yeah, and that little detail about her GRINDING HER ASS AGAINST HER CROTCH!

Where the hell was she supposed to go again????? Second stoplight, and then right. Getting to the stoplight alone was a struggle. Amy leaned in closer, warm air brushing over her neck. Oh my fu- She couldn't help it, she let out a gasp, her fingers losing even more blood as she gripped the wheel even harder. Oh god that felt gooooood. Amy's breath was so clean smelling and... NnNnNnnNNNnn!!!

"Lucy, Right"

Dark eyes popped wide open as Lucy barely made her turn.

"It's okay, I'll give you that one as a freebie"

Freebie, wha?? Lucy's jaw dropped for the second time that day when she caught her girlfriends face. S-she was doing this on purpose!!! Amy was totally winning?!!? Whaaat?? Had the infamous Lucy Diamond really sunk so low as to lose a bet of honor by getting SEDUCED?! When Amy bit her bottom lip, slowly letting it slide out from between her teeth she decided...... Yeah, she had sunk that low.

Lucy managed to make the next left. In fact, she was pretty sure she'd win, even though it would be a bit of a hollow victory since it was given to her... It was still a victory, DAMMIT!!! Alas, it was not to be, because right then. Amy leaned in and the most incredible thing in her life to that date happened to her. She felt the moist tip of the debs tongue flick lightly along the outside shell of her ear, and a low husky voice...

"I want... to taste you..." With that being said, Amy pulled Lucy's earlobe into her mouth, flicking her tongue along the Diamond stud earring she'd treated herself to for her 'Return to LA' present.

OH MY FUCKING G-

The brunette slammed her foot into the break, the car skidding to a stop in the middle of the street. A few cars honked, but Lucy totally missed it, staring in shock at Amy's smirking face.

"You missed the turn into the parking lot."

With that Lucy just groaned and dropped her forehead onto the steering wheel.

~~~~Now~~~~

"Wow... She totally kicked your ass."

"I know."

Lucy and Scud sat in silence for a long moment, both staring forward. Scud's expression leaned towards thoughtful, while Lucy seemed a bit embarrassed, but mostly just shocked silent. Neither of them could really recall a time Lucy had lost in a game involving seduction...

"You..."

"Yeah, Scud??"

"You two are meant to be together".

"Huh?", Lucy finally turned to look at him with furrowed brows. "You realized this because of...?"

"Well, not that exactly. I mean, I knew when we went straight and all. Then you guys being together this long even without... you know... but just because I like her, and you love her... I wasn't so sure she could handle you. Especially after all that stuff before endgame."

"Hmmm..." Lucy just smiled slightly before responding with a light, "And now?"

"I think she's just the right one".

When Lucy smiled brightly, he just cleared his throat, trying not to get choked up on the emotional moment.

"Yeah, I think so too".

"Anyway, the story??"

"Ah, right right!!!"

~~~~Then [A shopping adventure]~~~~

The moment they had parked, Amy had set to work getting out of the car. Lucy wasn't much interested in getting out at all, her sulk still evident on her face. After their little scene in the middle of the street, Amy had instantly started apologizing between fits of laughter. The thief still hadn't forgiven her quite yet.

Despite that little fact, she still couldn't help but admire her girlfriend's lithe body as she moved around to get out. Amy had just sighed when the door handle was out of her reach, not bothering to ask Lucy to do it. Instead, the window was rolled down ...All thanks to power windows installed by the infamous Lucy Diamond of course... and the deb showed off her acrobatic skills. Her booted feet came out the window first as she gripped the window frame near the roof to lift herself up. Chocolate eyes darkened as she watched Amy pull her body weight out of the car only using her arm strength... That slender back arching like a bent bow...

"Oh, come on Lucy, it was funny!"

Lucy jerked slightly as Amy opened her door from the outside. Oh, wait. She was supposed to still be mad huh?? It was so hard though!!! With Amy smiling at her like that, and all that sun glinting off her hair!! Amy just shook her head, leaning in to leave a soft kiss on Lucy's lips.

"Hnn?", Lucy murmered softly against the blonde's mouth until she pulled away. "No it wasn't, and uhm... There's people he-"

Amy shook her head again, reaching out to grab Lucy's hand.

"I don't care".

Was this trying to make it up to her for not telling her parents about them? In the end, Lucy didn't really care either. Why nitpick when you were holding your love's hand and actually had a moment alone? She smiled back, finally leaving her prized car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hmm, I don't really think taupe works well here", Amy mumbled, holding up another pair of silky pajama pants. "How about maroon?"

The brunette just rolled her eyes. Who knew it'd take so long to pick out something like this. It was weird, but she had enjoyed herself. Watching Amy's face as she analyzed and said strange things like 'Okay, so this is purely foreign wool. So I can't be sure if it's animal safe...' and 'But do you think it'd make me look too tall??'. Certain colors made you look tall??

"Or maybe teal..."

The best part had been sneaking in kisses whenever she could. Amy had been right earlier about how the place would be swarmed with teenagers. Although the blonde didn't argue, Lucy knew she was uncomfortable kissing in front of people. What was funny was that she got the odd feeling that Amy was like that about kissing ANYONE in public, and not specifically another girl. That helped mend her injured pride more than anything else, really. SHE'D almost gotten a kiss while being watched by a whole damn bar, and Amy's friend/team member. Oh yeah... Diamond distraction, baby.

"Ew... I remember something like this being called 'Burnt orange' in my crayola box as a kid..."

Lucy smiled a bit wider , leaning more heavily on the jewelry counter as she recalled more of the past hour. Hiding in those round clothing racks had worked out nicely. When Amy started looking through it, she'd popped her head out, catching her girlfriends shocked scream with her mouth. It'd been pretty fun after that too. Hiding out in there saying 'That color really doesn't suit you...'. Whenever stuffy looking older people or teenagers passed by. Yes kids, the clothes were talking to you! Better start with the medication, HA! She'd stopped when Amy scolded her for saying a woman's broach was only gold plated. Whaaaaaaat??? She had an eye for those types of things! The lady deserved to know!

"...Maybe I should just stick with blue"

Other customers stared at the gorgeous blonde leafing through numerous shades of the exact same thing, only to stare just as much at the girl next to her leaning on a counter right next to a little sign that said 'Please do not lean on glass'. The blonde was tall, and obviously talking to the girl beside her, but the tanned female didn't seem to be listening to a word she said, her eyes glancing waywardly to the ceiling. All black clothing, a lace front, and super high heeled boots?? A blonde with long legs, tight jeans, and a low cut V neck?? ... Two teenage boys stood hypnotized by what you only really saw in places like LA.

"Hey, Sam, where the heck do they make those??", One boy whispered, nudging the other.

"I don't know, dude. Like maybe Florida or something", the shorter one whispered back.

"Lucy, what about a pale violet??" Amy held up both the blue and the violet.

Lucy snapped back into reality at being specifically addressed. Her brows instantly snapped together when she FINALLY noticed Amy was showing her something pretty lame. Silky full length PJ pants?? That wasn't any fun. She was about to say something when she caught sight of the two boys staring blankly at Amy's ass. Sure, she could have reacted on instinct and marched over to kick some ass, but it was right about then that she had a flashback. A moment in time that had drastically changed the entire course of her life.

~~~~Lucinda Reynolds Age:11 Place:Target or something (Like hell could she remember) [Then Then]~~~~

Generally? Lucy looked the same as she did now. Same hair pretty much, but slightly messier. Converse instead of high heeled boots. Still all black clothing except they were black jeans and a Batman T-Shirt. Even her expression of mild annoyance was markedly familiar. The smaller Diamond dashed quietly down the pharmacy isle, frowning way too seriously for such a small kid.

Why the hell had Scud made her come here anyway??? She was a Reynolds for christ sakes, she didn't need to practice shoplifting at some general store! How had he even talked her into this crap?? At the very least, she'd gotten some Pogs... Pogs were cool. These ones had rainbows and bats and stuff on em'. She did need a new slammer th-

Just about there, she crashed into a woman who was crouched down looking at something or other. Before she could stop herself, Lucy's eyes had become riveted on the adults breasts. They were just... OUT THERE!!!!! Who wore a shirt cut that low!? As she tried not to gape, a blonde lady she hadn't noticed until then bent down and helped the fallen woman up.

"S-s-s-s-s-s-s-sssssoorrrry!", Lucy stuttered and took a step back.

"Oh it's okay. Don't worry" The breast lady (She couldn't think of her in any other context) said and smiled. "You okay??" She smiled wider when Lucy nodded before turning to her blonde companion, holding up a box. "This is all I needed, hunny."

"Oh, that's good... Let's go then".

That's when it happened. When they both turned to walk away... Blonde lady put her hand reaaaaalllllly low on breat lady's back and then she turned and....

~~~~Now~~~~

"What did she do Luce!?!?!?" Scud's eyes had widened to saucer proportions. Lucy'd never told him this story before...

"SHE WINKED AT ME!!!!"

"WHAT!?!?!?"

"I'm serious!!!! She groped her ass in front of me, and then WINKED AT ME!!!!"

"Woooow!!! You got turned into a Vagitarian by a cocky woman while stealing pogs at like, wal-mart or somethin'!"

"I KNOW!!!! Well... I would have been one anyway, BUT IT JUMPSTARTED!!!!"

"I have to tell Amy..."

"NO YOU DON'T!!!"

~~~~Then [Back to the mall then]~~~~

"Uh" Lucy blinked, snapping out of her memory. Well, at least now she knew what to do. Instead of jealously kicking some major teenage ass, she smiled in that cocky way she had, her eyes shinning with mirth. "You know what, Baby?" She saw two sets of teenage eyes widen at 'Baby'. She turned on her 'Diamond' mode, moving her body purposefully as if she were stalking Amy like prey as she lifted herself away from the counter, approaching her girlfriend with a grin. "I don't really like any of these, lets go look somewhere else."

"You don't mind taking extra time?" Amy blushed, but smiled. Aha, see? Lucy had chosen right! Her girl was all flattered and what-not.

"Course not~"

When the blonde smiled and put everything back, Lucy did something she'd been dying to do for 10 years. Her hand slid down her girlfriend's lower back as she guided her away from the teenage boys. Then, at the last minute... She turned and winked, lips pulled into a smirk.

The shorter one dropped his skateboard.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I-I couldn't wear that!"

"Oh c'mon, Ammmyyyy", Lucy pleaded in a whiney tone, giving her girlfriend the puppy dog face.

"It has like 3 inches worth of fabric on it!"

"Nuh uh!!! Look, it covers almost everything!!!"

"Yeaaaah, but it's SEE-THROUGH!"

This time, they were in Victoria's Secret (Lucy's choice), but their effect on the rest of humanity was exactly the same in all the other stores. People stared... Except Lucy had taken a much deeper liking to this type of sleepwear. So much of a liking in fact, that she didn't even remember to be at least 'sort of' subtle about their relationship. Which was most likely the prime reason everyone in the store (and some just outside of it) had somehow found their jaws connected to the floor.

"But this was supposed to be our... You knooow, private vacation, and it got ruined!! You won't even wear one for me?? Here, how about the blue one? It has a little... frilly fu-fu cape thing on it." Lucy grabbed a gauzy lingerie set, holding it up to Amy's body with a pleading look. Amy meany to scowl, but ended up laughing. The ex-thief was just so cute, and wanting to be soon so badly in something like this was just so... flattering.

"It isn't a cape, and it's see-through still."

"Aw, c'mon!!! Don't you do anything bad???" Lucy's arms dropped, her darkly clad shoulders slumping. Amy just smiled and leaned in closer to her ear.

"I don't consider being seen by you a bad thing."

Lucy's smile was instantaneous.

"Then get at least one for me, huh? You don't even have to wear it."

Amy seemed to think for a moment before nodding.

"Okay, but you can't see which one I pick. It'll be a surprise for when we... Leave my parent's house"

"DEAL!!!!"

Lucy dropped the blue sexythingymajigger she'd been holding and wrapped her arms around the other girl's waist, pulling her in tightly for a short but passionate kiss. No tongue, but pretty damn hot if she did say so herself. When she looked up, she saw a LOT of eyes on her... erm... Oops.

"What??? Never seen a raging lesbian trying to weedle her super goody two shoes girlfriend into wearing mostly clear underwear loudly in the middle of a woman's boutique store in the middle of the afternoon before??!!?"

Amy slapped her shoulder before hiding her flaming red face against the crook of her neck.

"LUCY!!!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By the time they pulled back up to Amy's childhood home, it was almost 2 hours later. At the very least, she'd talked Amy out of buying Pajama tops... 'Why do that when just spaghetti straps are so much more comfy??' ... and showed so much less skin? Instead, they'd just come back with an assortment of billowy comfortable cotton bottoms, and one special bag from Victoria's secret that Amy playfully smacked her hand away from whenever she tried to sneak a peak, Leaving her to pout.

Although Amy argued against helping her with her bags, Lucy paid her no mind. After all that practice at the airport? This was easssssy. So she just picked them all up, enjoying the way Amy smiled at her appreciatingly. Halfway to the door, she heard the blonde's voice.

"Now that I think about it... When did the Skymobile even get here??? We had a rent-a-car."

Amy watched Lucy flush slightly, her cute face somehow managing to hide under her bangs just a little more than usual. The ex-criminal replied in a soft almost sheepish voice. It was just so damn... cute.

"I uh, had Tim bring it last night."

"Uh, why?"

Lucy mumbled.

"Lucy??"

"Your Dad wanted to see it..."

Lucy went to the trouble of sneaking her car over just to make her parents like her?? Amy's smile spread across her face, the happiness reaching her eyes. Lucy just fidgited slightly, shaking her head a bit.

"I love you, Lucy."

The brunette looked up in suprise before a slow smile formed on her mouth.

"I love you too."

BANG!!!!!!!!!

Both girl's jumped at the sound, their heads whipping to the houses front door. Lucy's jaw could have probably been heard hitting the pavement.

~~~~Now~~~~

"What could have shocked you that much??"

"Lively"

~~~~Then~~~~

Standing in the doorway was a young woman who must have been the polar opposite of Amy. Her hair was a darkly rich black. So dark that a strange blue color seemed to glint off it when she stepped out onto the porch. The woman was just as tall as Amy, with the same thin frame, and pale creamy skin. The same deeply blue eyes, and the same strong jawline, but after that? The comparisons ended.

Wicked waves of hair curled around her shoulders and back all the way to her waist as if it were a lions mane, a chunk or two of it waved around her face and shoulders. Deep pink lips formed into a smirk, and curved dark brows lifted into an expression of amusement. The girl was wearing black as dark as her hair, pointed boots only accentuating long legs with leather so tight it may as well have been painted on. Her velvety black coat reached mid thigh, and her black low cut shirt barely covered a sparkling silver belt buckle.

It was like a Bradshaw version Lucy Diamond. She dropped the bags.

"LIVELLLLYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Amy took off instantly, tackling the rocker's wet dream of a woman she'd just seen. The dark haired girl wrapped her arms around Amy's waist spinning her around before lifting her up as she hopped down the few porch steps they had.

"AMMMMYYYY!!!!!!"

"I've missed you so much!!!"

Lucy just stared in blank shock as the woman kissed her girlfriend ON THE FUCKING LIPS!!!! Her brows snapped together as Amy kissed her back, smacking the other woman's shoulder just as she'd smacked HERS earlier. WHAT THE FUCK!?

"UCCCCKKK!!! Incest!!!", Amy grinned, pushing the woman away before hugging her again.

Incest???

"You're just afraid to admit I'm perfect for you, Aim!"

Incest, like family... LIVELY!?!?!?!?! THIS WAS LIVELY BRADSHAW!?!?!

"You're disgusting!"

The Bradshaw sisters snorted with laughter at an obviously old, and really fucking weird inside joke. THIS was Lively Bradshaw??? After taking a second to clear her head, Lucy had to admit, this girl just wasn't her type. Sure she was wicked dirty hot, but she hadn't even had a slight spark of approval, just the general 'Oh my god' you generally reserved for people who were so disturbingly hot that they were freaks of nature... Which was her first thought when she met Amy. She smirked. Now Amy caused plenty of sparks.

"Lively! You vanished!!! Every single time, you just vanish, and then you go on popping up randomly a year later or something" Amy laughed, still holding onto her sister's neck.

"Oh, yes, hunny, I'm very enigmatic. Wanna come next time?"
Lively wiggled her brows.

"No way, I'm busy."

"Ohhh, no fun at all."

"Hmm! Oh, I have to introduce you to someone, but keep in mind Liv, she's OFF LIMITS!!!!".

Amy let go of her sister, capturing her hand to drag her over to where Lucy was. The two women just stared at each other for a long moment. Lively's eyes were kinda disturbing. Like Amy's, but not... She didn't get a bad vibe from her or anything, but it was a lot less comforting than the feel she got from her girl.

"I like your Boots", Lively said in an almost cocky tone.

"Yeah, thanks, I like your jacket." Lucy replied the same exact way.

"You want it?"

Lucy damn near lost her cool. It was... her!!! Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit. There were a few different types of women in this world, and generally two people of the same type never hung around together. Now here she was, getting hit on the way SHE herself hit on people. This was soooooo not good, and by the way Amy instantly slammed her elbow into her sister's ribs, she didn't think it was that good either.

~~~~Now~~~~

"Isn't that weird to date someone kinda like your sister??"

"Hell yeaaah it is, but the truth is that we're not much alike."

"Huh?"

"You know, we have similarities, especially in the way we dress, but everything else aside from a few similiar likes? We're totally different. She just flirts the same way"

"Oh okay, cool... Just had to clear that up."

"Uh... whatever"

~~~~Then~~~~

"I said, off limits!", Amy scolded her, frowning.

"Ouch, damn near caved me in, beautiful." Liv grinned, rubbing her side while making a few kissy faces at Amy.

"Hey, don't flatter me. No hitting on Lucy. She's... very straight."

"Uh, right", Lucy added in. "You're kind of uhm... missing something. So not interested. No offense or anything."

That wasn't a lie exactly. The woman was missing something. The fact that she wasn't Amy!

"Really now?" Lively winked before pulling the blonde towards the door. "We'll see about that".

Amy on the other hand, glared.

Ohhhhhhhhh, Lucy was sooooooo fucked.

~~~~END OF 6 2/2~~~~

If the Pogs thing confused you? Here you go

With the time lines, it would have still been popular when Lucy was a kid. Oh yeah, and this thing isn't edited. I will soon~ ... Commmeeeeent... please?
