Lily decided to go down to the water, but I chose to hang back and relax. Really, I wanted a chance to see if there was anyone I would want to flirt w...ith. All over the beach people lazed, sunned, or played in the water. Dad's repeated mantra of "freedom" really started to make sense. I felt so relaxed. Still as horny as ever, but unlike at home, there was a missing tension. Resort magic again, I guess. Pretty soon, a girl about my age caught my attention. She seemed to be with her family as. Looking ahead at the sand swept road, I noted that the two other Humvees ahead of us were making best time around the various obstacles. I didn’t hear a sound as the pavement ahead and to our left erupted like a mushroom cloud of asphalt and sand. The vehicle twisted to its right and overturned, and I found myself on the sand beside the road. The events slowed down to a crawl as I found my rifle and began to search the wreckage. My driver was partially trapped under the vehicle, and as I pulled. He was the kindof man other men instinctively gave a wide berth. His friends, though,knew him for the sweetheart he really was."What kind of goodies have we got today?" He scrutinized the displaycase. " Orange spice muffins. Where're the tarts? I heard a rumor someonewas baking my favorite. Don't tell me they're gone already?" Don't worry," Marcia said, "I saved you one." That's my girl. Well go fetch it, for crissakes. I'm starved. Andparched. Where's that coffee you promised anyway?" Coming. "Poor kid." Kiyone thought. "If three was a crowd in a love triangle then four has to be right out." By the way?' Tenchi asked, finally sitting Sasami back on her feet. "Where's Ryo-chan?" Well." She told him, dusting her blue jeans. "We were just around the bend heading up here when she suddenly bolted off towards the woods yelling Bunny! Bunny! Bunny!" Sasami shook her head in a very Kiyone like manner. "Guess she saw one of her friends and decided to 'commune'."Tenchi grew noticeably.
