A Lacy Surprise

Chapter 2

"My plan will be a success!" squealed Minako as she watched the Three Lights through her binoculars from across the lake.

"Minako-chan! Come on! It's about time for lunch!" called Makoto, wringing water out from her hair.

The volleyball player snapped around, giving her friends a dirty look. "Not till I capture this moment!" she screeched and turned back to her task at hand.

"Minako-chan, I doubt whatever you're waiting for will happen while you're sitting there. Now, let's go before Usagi starts eating trees, " Rei pointed out, hip cocked and rolling her eyes.

"Yeah! Hurry up!" whined Usagi as she nodded her head before realizing what Rei just said. "Hey! That is so mean, Rei-chan! I would never eat trees!"

The dark-haired miko snorted and stuck her tongue out at Usagi. "But you do eat a lot and you'll eventually be too fat to be picked up by Seiya-kun!" she jeered.

The short blonde cried, "I am not fat! I'm a perfectly healthy pretty girl! You're just a big meanie, Rei-chan!"

"'Healthy'?! You're far from healthy! Just look at your waist! It's huge!"

"I am healthy! You're just jealous that I …"

Minako tuned out her friends' bickering, still watching the movement of her subject's skirt for what she was waiting for.

"Come on, blow up. Come on, come on … show me her panties already!" she grumbled to herself, waiting for the gushing wind to do its job and blow up the shortest Light's pink polka-doted skirt.

The wind started picking up. The blonde athlete held her breath in anticipation, waiting for that fateful moment of seeing the secret beneath that skirt and just as said skirt started to lift slightly from the wind …

Thwack!

Splash!

Minako almost cried and screamed from having her binoculars knocked into the lake separating them from the Three Lights' campsite. She snapped around to glare at her previously bickering friends.

"WHY?!"

Usagi cringed while Rei just rolled her eyes at their friend's antics.

The bow-haired teen made a mad dash to their canoe. "I guess that I've got to take matters into my own hands, " she grumbled once more and hopped into the canoe.

Ami cried after her as the frantic blonde started peddling away from their campsite, "Minako-chan! You can't use it yet! We're still fixing on its hole!"

"I don't care! I've got to get to my Yaten-kun!"

Rei facepalmed. "Why doesn't she just walk over to their campsite then?"

"Because Minako-chan doesn't do things small. She has to make it very dramatic, " sighed Usagi, shaking her head as she turned away. "I'll call Seiya to help retrieve her."

"I'm coming, Yaten-kun. I'm coming! And your panties will be mine! Mine!" laughed Minako manically, then heard a breaking sound when she made it to the middle of the lake. Her eyes widened in horror when she noticed the water flooding in from a gaping hole in the canoe and squeaked.

The young athlete tried her best to scoop up some water and dump it back into the lake, but it was all in vain as the canoe soon capsized.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!"

"What was that?" mused Seiya from her place beside the campfire.

Taiki popped her head out from her tent and added, "It sounded like Aino-san."

Yaten snorted, readjusting her skirt and resumed filing her nails. "She probably got some kind of cramp or whatever and is being overdramatic about it."

The other two Lights looked at each other and shrugged, resuming their tasks.

Minako popped her head back up to the surface, sputtering out water. "Why am I so stupid?!" she exclaimed and splashed some water in a fit of anger.
