"Ow..." Billie said as she looked, not the least bit bothered by what was revealed. "Arnie got wounded too." She reached up and pulled her hair back into a ponytail, using the hairtie that was around her wrist. "I suppose while we are out, I should get a suit too..."

"Yeah...I know, that entire OP was a disaster from start to finish" Harry replied in a guilty voice, with the fact that Arnie had been hurt only reinforcing last night's decision to call it a day on the whole wet works thing before she made things any worse.

Hearing Billie's final comment about a suit Harry would quirk an eyebrow at the other pilot before replying "Why do you want a suit? You do realise Captain Si is giving out Angel silk dresses later today right? and even I look pretty good in one of those"

"Yeah he said it was very...unmanned." It didn't bother Billie that Arnie was hurt on Harry's watch. While the idea of him getting really hurt or dying was always there, ultimately, he made his own choices. Billie laughed at Harry's question. "Swim suit...for the beach. Don't have one though I am looking for something particular to contain the girls...two piece and kind of...sporty. My parents would kill me." She mused.

"You should see my bathing suit....very one of a kind" She winked at Harry and the others about it.  she smiled brightly.

In reply to Isobel Sakura (msg # 11):

 Lizzy smiled when Nikki came over and told her about what she did to Ce-Va and she really liked it. Everyone was showing up, she held Izzy's hand telling Izzy she was with her. Then she asked if she should call a cab after Harry had asked if they had a ride figured out yet.

 Lizzy said," Yeah we are ready, yes Izzy could you call a cab for us and send Sarah and Melia the address so they can meet us there." She smiles at Izzy and gives her a kiss on her good cheek.

 Then she looks at everyone," Ok ladies Izzy is calling us a cab shall we head down and get ready to get pampered, Oh does everyone Know Sam Izzy's friend, she is amazing and so damn smart."

 Sam smiled at Harry when she came over and said hi, Sam nodded at her and when Lizzy introduced her she smiled and said," Yes I am Sam communications Officer for the Burian Fleet nice to meet all of you." Sam looked at Izzy with her fussing with her face as she was about to call them a cab. Sam went to Izzy and whispered to her," Izzy my friend, you need to embrace your scars, you are alive and have people who care for you and love you, you dont have to hide your wound show it off, be proud you survived." Sam gives her a quick hug and then waits for everyone to get going.

Harry would wince a bit upon hearing Arnie's opinion of the OP but listening as Billie elaborated that it was a swim suit she was after along with the fact that she was after one that would upset her parents. Chuckling in response to that Harry would give a wry shake of her head before responding "Well seeing as I once went out wearing only a pair of Daisy Duke's and four strips of electrical tape I think my parents would say that my one piece was rather reserved" she said with a wicked grin before turning to smile at Nikki as she recalled what Nikki had been wearing on the beach that time "...and yes I've certainly seen your bathing suit Nikki, I just wish I had the figure to pull it off"

Izzy would return her friends hug, however as much as she appreciated the advice and knew that she was right and should just accept them, she was having a hard time doing so. After all when all was said and done Sam could wear a long sleeved blouse whenever she wanted to keep her scars away from prying eyes, unlike the ones currently adorning Izzy's face and neck. Despite this she would make an effort to stop playing with her hair as she put a call through to the cab company followed by another to Melia and Sarah telling them when and where the cab would be picking them all up and the Spa's address if they weren't able to make the pick up "Ok the cab's arriving at the front entrance in around five minutes" Izzy said in a nervous voice to the assembled ladies as she tried her best not to play with her hair.

As soon as Lizzy was ready to go she would head downstairs with her to where the condo's main entrance was, holding her hand as they stood and waited for the cab and / or the rest of their party to arrive.

 Lizzy watched as Sam hugged her and whispered something into Izzy's ear, if anyone could help Izzy deal with her scars Sam and Melia where top on her list, because of what they both went through and survived. She had the utmost respect for both Melia and Sam for getting through very tough times and Sam was so young.

 Lizzy held Izzy's hand as she said the cab would be downstairs in 5 minutes, Lizzy then said to the group of ladies," Hi everyone, today rank and position our not involved we are all ladies going to get some much needed pampering done and it will help us look great for the Ball, now I know I am getting a pedicure for sure. Ok lets head down hopefully Sarah and Melia will meet us either at the cab or at the Spa, ok Ladies we are on a time schedule we have to be at Captain Si's Condo at 1 for Ball dressing, lets go have fun and bond ladies shall we." Lizzy smiled at everyone held Izzy close and lead the group of interesting Ladies to where they where going to meet the cab.

 Sam smiled and knew Izzy heard her but it hadnt set in yet, Sam would have to keep it up it will be a long road back especially if the surgery goes bad, but Sam did not care, her scars held her back for years. Sam did realize one thing scars on the face you can not hide.

 Sam listened to Lizzy and got a little fired up and excited about the Spa day now, she needed it. There was one other she thought needed even more, she had been pushing herself a lot lately and that was Sarah. Sam really hoped she could make it. She was about to comm Sarah when Lizzy said they where informed where to go. Sam smiled and followed everyone downstairs to catch the cab to the Spa.

She grinned over at Harry "Hey...I work with what I got.  Most of my clothes growing up were my big sister Sherry's hand-me-downs...Sometimes Marshalls.  Still it got Mitch to turn his head"  She looked over at Billie "I cut up a pair of jeans into country girl bikini bottoms and a t-shirt  into a bikini top.  Used excess fabric to make a bathing suit for Haley.  She is growing like a weed now and out grew that already so bought her a real suit this time" She followed the other girls to the cab.

Billie laughed. "I think I was really little the last time I was at a beach...as I got older...the stricter my parents became. I always had to cover up, especially when these developed," she pointed to her ample bosom clad in her bra and tanktop. "They would flip if they heard I was dating and...yeah..." she broke into a grin as she walked with the rest of the girls.

”Well luckily for you they’re not here Billie Girl, I am, and I’m a bad influence” Harry said with a wicked gleam in her eyes as she started walking towards the front entrance to meet the taxi ”...stick with us Billie, and between us we’ll find you a bikini the size of a pair of hankies held together with string” she said in a gleeful voice, more than happy to help her friend find something saucy to wear.

Standing outside the condo’s main entrance, Izzy would gently rest her head against Lizzy’s shoulder as she listened to three of the girls discussing bikinis, feeling just a little too shy to try and join in at the moment. That and she was rather comfortable where she was at the moment finding Lizzy’s company to be soothing after spending so long terrified out of her mind that the beautiful redhead would want nothing to do with her now that her face was marred with hideous scars. Interlacing her fingers with Lizzy’s she would take a moment to admire the matching bracelets on their wrists with a tiny smile coming to her face.

Within a few minutes of them all arriving downstairs the minibus Izzy had hired would make an appearance, and once Izzy had confirmed that they were the “Sakura party” they would get in the back, with Izzy taking one last look to make sure neither Melia or Sarah were coming before asking the driver to take them to the spa.

After a relatively short drive through the early morning traffic, throughout which Izzy would sit beside Lizzy and look out the window at the passing scenery, they would pull up in front of a broad gravel drive lined with fir trees that lead up to large, glass fronted timber building that looked reminiscent of a log cabin and would no doubt offer excellent views of the mountain from certain angles. Upon entering via a set of large French doors the attractive half-Angel woman manning the front desk would offer them a dazzling smile before speaking to them in a vaguely Scandinavian accent ”Hi there, you must be the Sakura party, I can spot fleet ladies a mile off, if you’d like to follow me I will show you ladies to the changing rooms”

 Lizzy giggled at Harry's description of a bathing suit, Lizzy replied, " Hey I have a suit that fits that description, three pieces of tiny cloth and string. Hey if I could swim naked I would, I bet everyone would hate to see that." Lizzy giggles, she does not stop holding Izzy's hand, she liked the fact Izzy leaned on her shoulder as they waited. Lizzy knew Izzy thought she would leave her because of the scars on her face, yes Lizzy thought Izzy was beautiful, and to her she still is no matter how her wound heals. Plus Lizzy loves all of Izzy not just her beautiful face, and especially her heart. Lizzy saw Izzy look at their matching bracelets and she makes sure they touch and make a little metal to metal sound.

 When the minibus Izzy ordered showed she said," Ok ladies lets go shall we, it is pampering time." Lizzy was her bubbly self today, she was happy Izzy was ok, maybe her and Harry might be able to patch things up, and she was really looking forward to being pampered. Lizzy looked for Melia and Sarah, and when she didnt see them, she got into the back sitting between Izzy and Harry.

 Lizzy smiled as they rode towards the Spa, it was a quick trip and then they went inside, Lizzy smiled at Harry as she got out of the Minibus and walked with Izzy holding her hand as they went into the amazing looking Spa. Once inside Lizzy looked around and it was amazing, she saw the half angel woman at the desk.

 Lizzy replies," Thank you yes we are, that would be great, thank you." Lizzy would look at the menu of services and the prices, she looked for a package deal that everyone might like, it had to have a pedicure in the package though. Lizzy followed the woman as she walked with Izzy.

 Sam went downstairs and waited for the minibus with everyone, once it appeared she got in and sat across from Izzy. Sam smiled and replied to the swim suit discussion, " Umm I have a very conservative one piece, but now I dont mind showing my back maybe I will get a skimpy bikini, do you ladies think I will look good in one?"

 They all got in she looked for Sarah and hoped she could make it, Sam really knew she needed to relax and unwind it had been a rough few weeks. She sat quietly as they headed to the Spa.

 Once they got there Sam got out and followed everyone in, it was beautiful and amazing.Sam walked in as saw the woman at the counter, and she was going to show them where to change. Sam looked at the price board and replied," Hey everyone they have a works special,  manicure..Pedicure..massage..use of  steam bath... 'wax jobs" and facials ..300 credits a piece, why dont we all just get that Ladies, any objections?"

 Sam walked up to the woman and said," How long will the works take we have to all get ready for the ball at 1 pm at the condo we are staying at ma'am." Once she gets an answer from the woman she will wait to see if everyone wants the works.

"Works for me.   So long as there is no 'herbal branch' therapy." she smiled.  The decor seemed subdued and calming.

She laughed. "No nothing super skimpy...I'd like it to be a little more athletic yet still sexy I suppose." To her, big boobs were overrated. Finding cute bras were damn near impossible let alone one that gives proper support...

"The works? I mean...sure...sounds great," Billie smiled. A waxing? Good thing she couldn't feel anything...

One of the helpers pointed to some of  the  rooms,I understand the 'fitting' is at One  o'clock  and the Ball is a few hours later... we should have you Ladies out  By 12:30  or  so.

(Gonna do a blanket post here for all three)

Melia, Sarah, and Hawkeye all joined the ladies at the Spa luxuriating in the treatments.

"sounds good to me...we can even get a small snack too"  Sometimes she felt like she had a tape worm with her appetite.  She looked over their 'menu of services'  "Apricot and tea tree oil extract scrub with Burian Kava herbal wrap.  sounds interesting"

”Lizzy love, I’d be shocked if you didn’t own the world’s tiniest bikini” Harry replied with a laugh, recalling the pretty redhead’s penchant for racy clothing that Izzy no doubt enjoyed seeing as much as she had ”...and for the record I’m totally fine with you swimming naked, and can’t see little Izzy objecting either” she then added mischievous smile, giving Izzy a saucy wink as she does so. It was then that Sam enquired as to whether she would look good in a skimpy bathing suit "Hmm perhaps not as skimpy as what Lizzy prefers, but I think you would look very nice in a bikini" Harry replied with a smile thinking not for the first time that the tiny blonde communications officer was more than a little cute and that she wouldn't object to seeing more of her petite figure if given the opportunity.

Upon their arrival at the spa, Harry would take a moment to admire the décor listening as Sam suggested a treatment package that the pretty half-Angel confirming that they would be ready for their dress fitting back at the condo ”Sure that sounds good to me” she replied with a shrug that betrayed the fact that she wasn’t one hundred percent sure what it was she was agreeing to, though she would look just a little nervous when waxing was mentioned. With a treatment plan agreed she would follow the other women into the changing rooms in order to get ready.

"Good thing I can't really feel anything," Billie snickered as she headed towards the changing rooms with the other ladies to get ready.

  One of the   Spa Techs  knocked on the  door  and entered, ....Just lock yout thinks up  in the  lockers  and  scn your wrist, the locker  won't  open unless you wrist is scanned  again, or we  Call EverSec...There is  a  room with connected  Steam  on the  east  side and  connected hot  tub on the west... we have the  Tables and chairs   set up waiting for you..Blue  door.. right  to the  north, on the  west wall.

 Lizzy smiled and said," Oh yes that sounds great Sam, I would love that." Lizzy walks tot he changing rooms and she sees Sarah and Melia with Price. She was so happy to see Melia. Lizzy then walked with Izzy t o the changing area and got undressed and stored her clothes in the locker.

 Lizzy smiled as the woman spoke of the steam and hot tub both of those sounded so good right now. Lizzy wrapped a towel around herself loosely and headed for where they where suppose to go.
