Awesome stories everyone! ;D Mmm, Don Juan sans shirt I'm sorry for being so slow to write the last part of my story, sorting out the Proboards update stuff has eaten too much of my time. Oh, and you can have your Johnny back when you've posted your story *groans and curses writer's block* and he WOULD be running around with no shirt... *sigh*

Day 3The next day Lua and Don Juan woke up, got dressed and ate some breakfast."Hmm, I don't know what we should do today," said Lua thinking hard."Ooh, I got it! You know Don Juan, I've always wanted to learn how to sword fight. Would you mind teaching me how?" Lua asked."I'd love to dear, but I don't have my sword with me," Don Juan answered."Oh," said Lua. Then she had an idea."Wait a minute, since I'm an 'Angel' for the week, and 'Angels' have imagining powers, then can't I imagine the swords?" Lua wondered aloud."I can't see why not," Don Juan replied smiling.Lua smiled, then she closed her eyes and imagined a pair of shiny, silver swords. When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to see a sword in each of her hands."Wow, it worked!" she excitedly. ;D "Well done, they are beautiful swords," said Don Juan taking one.After they had finished eating, they moved all the furniture out of the way so they could have a lot of room."Go stand over there...perfect," Don Juan instructed her.Don Juan taught her how to defend herself with the sword. After a couple of minutes, she had mastered the basics of self-defence."Excellent work, Miss Lua! Now I think you're ready to learn how to attack," said Don Juan.Don Juan taught her how to attack and again she had picked it up fairly quickly; she had learned basic attacks."Well done, Miss Lua," said Don Juan impressed."You are learning very quickly. You've never done this before?" asked Don Juan. "I think it's from seeing Jack Sparrow in all his sword fights!" Lua replied laughing. "Ahh yes, Jack Sparrow. He is very good at handling a sword, no?" said Don Juan."Yes he is, and so are you Don Juan. You're an excellent teacher as well," said Lua winking. "Thank you, dear," he said blushing slightly.Don Juan taught her some more advanced attacks and self-defence. Before they knew it, the afternoon was over and it was time to eat."Thank you so much for teaching me how to sword fight," said Lua giving him a quick hug. #hug# "It was my pleasure," said Don Juan.They moved all the furniture back to it's place, ate and called it a day!

Day Six
They had to lay low. The police were sweeping the area, looking for the people who had flown in the plane from Mexico. George had a radio tuned into the police frequency so that they could listen to their chatter, most of it was about them. After listening for a few hours Jay pleaded with George to turn it off, hearing their own capture being discussed over the airwaves was not helping her to stay calm.
“What are we going to do? We can’t stay here forever.” They were in the basement of one of George’s friends houses. It was a nice basement but not the kind of place Jay wanted to spend more than a day or so, the lack of natural light was already beginning to get to her.
“We won’t have to,” said George confidently, “We’ll stay here until the trouble has passed and then…”
“And how long’s that going to take?” Jay asked.
“A week, two weeks,” replied George vaguely apparently unconcerned at the prospect of remaining imprisoned for that long.
“Two weeks? George, I have to get you back with the UnAngeled tomorrow! And John will be waiting for me, I can’t just not come home.” George looked at her long and hard.
“You’re right,” he said, “I was given strict instructions to get back to JA at a certain time.”
“Oh, so disobeying SS is a no but breaking the law is fine? You have some strange ideas about life, George Jung.” George did not attempt to deny it or defend himself, he simply leaned back in his chair and smiled.
“But what a life,” he said softly, “So many white horses and pretty ladies at my door.”
Day Seven
They snuck out in the dead of night. In the distance sirens wailed but Jay forced herself to believe that they were looking for someone else. Only once they were in George’s car and speeding out of town did Jay begin to relax. The dawn broke turning the sky pink. George rolled the windows down and the cool morning air washed over them, sending their hair streaming out behind them. Jay leaned back and closed her eyes. “Jay?”
“Yeah?”
“I’m sorry I almost got your arrested.” Opening her eyes, Jay saw George glance over at her, his face riddled with guilt.
“That’s alright,” she said smiling, “It’s not the first time I’ve been in trouble with the law. When John and I go to London it’s practically a daily occurrence.” Again, Jay thought of C and what might have happened during her week.
“Still,” said George, his eyes on the road now, “I shouldn’t have taken such a risk. I should have known better.” George was beginning to sound so wretched that Jay leaned over and placed a hand on his arm.
“I had a really good week,” she told him honestly, “I never thought I’d see the pretty ladies or the white horses myself but I did so thank you. I think I’ve really learnt something from you, George.”
“Really? What?”
“That it’s the risks in life that you remember. Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating breaking the law.” George grinned apologetically. “But if you play it safe all the time you’ll always wonder what would have happened if you didn’t. I’m going to remember this week for all my life.”
“Me too,” said George.
They lapsed back into silence and watched the sun rise steadily in its clear blue sky. Before they knew it they were pulling up outside JA. George’s car shuddered to a halt and they both stayed seated, listening to the silence.
“I guess this is it,” said George.
“I guess you’re right.” Jay could feel her insides churning with butterflies.
“Shall we say goodbye?” asked George. He leaned over and kissed Jay on the cheek.
“Goodbye, Jay.” Jay felt her heart rise right up to her throat.
“Goodbye, George.” And suddenly Jay found herself alone in the car, her heart rate twice its normal speed. She sat alone for a few minutes then opened the passenger door. She checked her face in the wing mirror. John was waiting.

YAY! FInally the dam broke loose and I have my story! I didnt write it like Day 1, Day 2..etc. But its still good I think! Hope you all enjoy.
DonaM walked into JA headquarters the day of the Johnny Swap. She kissed her Don Juan goodbye and handed him off to Lua for the week, then spied Gene standing over by TM. With a smile, she walke dover to introduce herself.
"Hola, Gene, its so very nice to meet you, finally! I am DonaM and I will be your Angel for the weeK!" she grinned.
"Hello, there, DonaM.. so very nice to meet you as well, and this is my daughter, Lynn!" he replied, looking down at the little girl holding his hand.
"Oh,..she's adorable, Gene! I love children! She's more than welcome to come with us as well, if you like."
"Thank you, but where are you taking us?"
"My darling, Gene, you're always so very uptight and on the run, never taking any time to relax. I am going to take you to my favorite place. A place where all of us can have loads of fun and just relax. The beach! I promise you and Lynn will have a great time! So go pack your bags amd meet me back here in an hour and be prepared to have some fun!"
DonaM smiled as she watched Gene go off to get things packed for Lynn and himself. She missed her Don Juan already and he hadn't even been gone 5 minutes.
An hour later...
DonaM, Gene and Lynn were finally at the cabana, dropping off thier luggage. DonaM had told them not to worry about unpacking right then,just to put on thier bathing suits.
They walked out onto the beach and down to the water's edge, with Lynn between them,holding thier hands. DonaM showed both of them how to body surf and soon the three of them were playing in the waves and body surfing. DonaM smiled to herself as she watched Gene and Lynn. He was such a good father, always looking out for his little girl.
Later on that evening, they saw that a luau was going to be held out on the beach that night.
"Have you ever been to a luau, Gene?' DonaM asked him.
"No, not that I recall. It sounds like fun though, what's it like?" he asked.
"Well, we have a nice hawaiian style dinner out on the beach and they have dancers put on a show during that, and then after theres dancing and games and things on the beach!"
"Ok, let's do it!" he grinned.
They stayed in thier bathing suits and went outside to see a huge bon fire lit and smelled the wonderful smell of the dinner that awaited them. They set down their beach chairs wiht everyone esle and were soon immersed in the wonderful, relaxing atmosphere. The dinner was delicious and the dancers were a sight to see! After they finished thier main performance, two of the dancers walked towards DonaM and Gene, asking them to come join in the dance with them. DonaM really did half expect Gene to not do it, but was very surprised to see him get right up there and dance with her and the dancers to a hula song. Lynn pointed and laughed at them, she was having so much fun. After the dinner and show, they took Lynn back to the cabana and tucked her into the bed. Gene was a bit nervous about leaving her there in the caban while they went right out side back to the party. DonaM kind of did not blame him.
"Gene, I know you're worried, I can see it in your face. Lynn will be fine here, I promise. No one will take her from you here, darling. Look, she's already asleep, poor thing, all worn out. Let her sleep. I promise we can come and look in on her, We'll just be right out side."
Gene nodded and kissed Lynn on her forehead, then they walked back out to the party and danced some more.
The next day, they all woke up and had a nice breakfast out on the deck of the cabana and then played with Lynn out in the sand. THey all built a sand castle together and then Gene let Lynn bury him up to the neck in the sand. DonaM giggled. She was glad to see them haivng so much fun. After lunch, DonaM got an idea.
"Hey, you two..I have an idea! I know some one who has a glass bottomed boat. How would you both like to go on a cruise of the reef and see the sea life?"
"ohhh..That sounds like fun, DonaM! Will we see fish?" Lynn asked.
"Of course darling, there will be all sorts of things to see.. what do you say, Gene?" she looked at him.
"Sounds interesting, lets go!" he grinned.
DonaM called her friend and thne they took a jeep over to the marina where the boat was. There, they met Captain Carrie, their captain for the day aboard the boat. They stepped down into the boat and she took them out on the reef, telling them to be sure to look down at the boat's glass bottom so they would not miss anything, They saw all sorts of fish, sea plants and beautiful corals. Lynn was full of questions for thier captain, asking what this was and what that was. Carrie was more than happy to asnwer thier questions about the the things they were seeing.
Later that evening ,they had a cook out at the cabana and then took a moonlit walk on the beach.
The next day, they spent just lazing around on the beach, soaking up the sun and having fun. Gene and DonaM helped Lynn look for sea shells and by lunch time she had quite a collection going, After lunch, they got into a game of beach volleyball and also played some frisbee. When it got too hot, they wnet swimming in the ocean, body surfing and playing Marco Polo, which little Lynn really loved. Then later that night, had a wonderful dinner at the beachside restuarant called Archie's. Later that night, after they tucked Lynn in, DonaM and Gene sat out on the deck and relaxed.
"Dona, I want to thank you for this wonderful time so far. I can't remember whe I've ever had this much fun with no worries, just pure relaxation."
"You're very welcome, darling. THis is why the beach is one of my favorite places to go," she smiled.
The next day, after lunch, DonaM told Gene and Lynn she had a surprise for them.
"Have you two ever been horseback riding on the beach?" she asked.
"No, I can't even remember the last time I was on a horse, and Lynn has never ridden one." Gene replied.
DonaM smiled. "Well, you're in for a treat then! I have another friend who has some very gentlly trained horses and ponies. I am going to take you over to their private beach area for a ride!"
They all climbed into the jeep again and were off to the private beach area. When they got there, they met up wiht DonaM's friend and went to the barn to pick out thier horses for the day. All of the horses were very gentle and Lynn had fun just petting the horses and talking to them. They walked along and Lynn spotted a cute little shetland pony with a long mane and tail. Cute little brown pony eyes were peeping out at her from under his long forelock.
"Oh, Daddy! look at him! DonaM, can I pick this one?" the little girl said excitedly.
"Of course you can, sweeetie! That's Peanuts and he just loves giving rides to pretty little girls like you!' DonaM smiled.
The stable hand led the pretty little pony out of his stall and saddled him up for Lynn. Gene chose a beautfiul black gelding and DonaM a beautiful chestnut mare. The stable hand saddled them up and led them over to where they stood. They all mounted their horses and were soon cantering along the edge of the water. Lynn was a bit nervous at first, but was soon having loads of fun riding little Peanuts along the beach. They spent the day exploring different paths and areas on horseback and ended the day with a bonfire after turning thier horses in back at the stables.
The next day, they had a nice breakfast on the deck, then spent the day on the beach, playing in the water and in the sand. Lynn looked for more shells and they played more volleyball and frisbee. Then they had a wonderful pic nic on the beach, enjoying hotdogs and smores cooked over the small fire that Gene built for them. They relaxed on the beach later, soaking up the sun. Gene smiled at the pretty Angel across form him. She was very sweet and he could see why Don Juan loved her so much. But he was really starting to miss his own Angel. He smiled as he thought of her.
"Missing her, aren't you?" DonaM said, breaking into his thoughts.
"Yes, very much. I've had a wonderful time with you, but I do miss her." he said wistuflly.
"Hey, its ok, really. I have had loads of fun with you and Lynn, but I cannot even begin to tell you how much I miss my Don Juan. But its ok, darling. We have one more day togther and I have something really cool for us to do tomarrow."
This was their last day at the beach becuase they would be back at JA tomarrow. DonaM cooked everyone aspecial breakfast and then told them about the surprise she had in store for them.
"Ok, you guys! I saved the best day for last. The carnival has opened up on the boardwalk today and there is much fun to be had!" she smiled.
They all got ready and walked up to the boardwalk which was alive with activity. There were games, rides, plenty of food, entertainment, the works. They rode the ferris wheel, which scared Lynn a little, but her daddy reassured her that she was ok. They rode the bumpercars, the mixer, and the teacups. Then Lynn played a game and won herself some tickets for a prize. She chose a cute little bracelet. Gene played a game and won her a teddy bear that was almost bigger than she was. DonaM smiled at the two. She joined in, playing games and riding rides. Then they all got some cotton candy and watched some acrobats perform. Later that evning, they had dinner on the boardwalk while they listened to a band. Poor little Lynn was worn out, so they decided to finally call it a night.
The next day, they packed their bags and left the beach, headed back to JA. The trip wasn't long and soon they were back at JA Headquarters. DonaM saw TM before they did and waved to her. When Gene and Lynn saw her, they ran towards her and Gene swept his Angel up in his arms for a long hug.
"I think he missed you, TM, " DonaM giggled.
"I think he did too.. I certainly know I missed him, "TM said when she was finally able.
Gene turned to DonaM and gave her a hug. "Thank you for a wonderful week, Dona."
"You're so very welcome,darling, I am glad you had fun! "
DonaM smiled as she watched the 3 of them walk off together. She'd had alot of fun with them, but she missed her love terribly and could not wait to be back in his arms.

Why does everyone want a piece of me, here and there and everywhere, when I'm busy with John? Why is everyone keeping me so occupied with trifles when the Earl needs my attention? OK, real life took over there for a minute; rant over. I'll be back with the rest of the story before Jay comes here and snatches John away from me.

Aww, don't worry Dona M! Almost done my story! *********** Day 4The next morning, after Lua and Don Juan had their breakfast, Lua was tidying up the kitchen and humming. Don Juan heard her humming and walked into the kitchen."That song you are humming, it sounds so familiar," Don Juan said trying to think of the name of the song."Really? It's called 'Lambada.' It's a famous..." Lua began."Brazilian song," Lua and Don Juan said together."Ya! You've heard it? It's one of my favourite Brazilian songs you know." said Lua."Yes, I have heard it. I also used to know all the words to the song and how to dance the lambada," Don Juan said fondly thinking about the past."You know the words, did you know how to speak Portuguese? You used to know how to dance the lambada?!" Lua said in awe." Oh yeah, duh! The lambada was the famous "forbidden dance" of Brazil because it was so seductive and romantic. Don Juan was definitely one of the most seductive and romantic of all the Johnnys. #mask# How could he not know?" Lua thought to herself.Don Juan smiled and said, "I know how to speak a little Portuguese, it's very close to Spanish, no? But the lambada, I cannot remember very well. I learned it very long ago and unfortunately I forgot most of it." "Oh, I see. Well, if you want, I could teach you more Portuguese and I could teach you the lambada as well." Lua offered."Would you? That would be wonderful, Miss Lua. Thank you," Don Juan said sweetly."Of course, Don Juan! You taught me so much, it's the least I can do," said Lua.Lua taught Don Juan the steps to the lambada. Don Juan learned very quickly, he was a fast learner. "Wow, he's such a great dancer!" Lua thought. Every move was perfect and smooth."Don Juan, you're dong very well! You picked it up pretty quickly," Lua praised."Thank you for teaching me. Since I now know all the steps, would you like to have this dance?" Don Juan asked streching out a hand."Sure," said Lua smiling taking his hand. They danced to the lambada, the samba, salsa, flamenco , the merengue, the tango and all the dances they could think of. And yes, even belly dancing! Don Juan had told her that he learned it while staying in the harem at the Sultana's palace. Lua had begged for him to teach her (what a surprise! lol) and, being the sweetheart that he is, he taught her! ;DThey laughed as they dropped onto the couch. "I can't believe you had to belly dance with the other girls in the harem for the Sultan! You're lucky he didn't catch you!" said Lua giggling."Si, I was lucky!" said Don Juan laughing."That was so much fun! I didn't know you knew all those dances!" said Lua surprised."I didn't know you knew how to dance the flamenco!" said Don Juan equally surprised.Lua winked. "I guess I could teach you some more Portuguese now? What do you say?" Lua asked."Yes, I would like to learn. Miss Lua, do you know how to speak Spanish?" asked Don Juan."Si, un poco. Es muy parecido a portugues, ¿no?" Lua laughed."I know how to speak a decent amount of Spanish, but I have no one to speak to in Spanish, so I'm afraid I might forget it. That's what happened with French, but that's another story." Lua taught Don Juan Portuguese, and again, he learned quickly. Don Juan also taught Lua more Spanish."Thank you for teaching me Portuguese, dear," Don Juan said."Thank you for teaching me more Spanish, you're a sweetheart," Lua said to Don Juan."Yo tengo hambre, ¿quieres comer algo?" Lua asked.Don Juan smiled. "Sim, eu tambem tenho fome, vamos comer!" Don Juan replied.Lua laughed, "Very good!" They ate and went to sleep a while later, all that dancing left them exhausted!
