Regroup, wait and attack

This couldn't be a dream. No, if Emily was sure of something at this point was the fact her five senses were working fine. What they were saying to her, was what didn't seem to have any sort of sense. There was that girl from the morning, her behavior was weird at that time, especially when Emily’s mother mentioned the necklace.

The necklace she found on the beach with that green and beautiful emerald, was in possession of that girl. She seems to be happy, flirting with that cute guy as he dresses.

A magic jewel that allowed people to... combine? What exactly is that thing? Emily needed answers but she wasn't in a good position, literal and figuratively speaking “(Mina was her name... She lied... She stole it…From me... She will...)" Anger was growing inside of her.

Mina didn’t realize the girl behind them "Ok, I must return... Kim needs my help..." He kissed her, she smiled.

"That's for her, be sure she receives it" He laughed.

Emily wondered “(Who is 'her'? The manager? Aren't they lovers?)” She needs to leave, as soon as possible. Making no noise, she stepped back from where she came from.

Emily didn’t expect her friends to try to find her. An annoyed, but curious Trisha asked "Honey, where did you go?" She half asked, half teased her. Trisha expected Emily to spill the beans about having a summer adventure or something like that, as she smirked at her.

Emily still shocked for what she saw in the male’s bathroom, still managed to see an opportunity there “I'm sorry guys, it's reeeeeally a long story.. I will tell you, but... I might need your help….”

Everyone was confused by that, especially Ashley “H-help? What for?”

Emily turned around to find Mina or Will "That girl..." She pointed at Mina who was now walking to the buy something to eat at the cafeteria "... Stole something from me" Yan Yan looked at her confused, Emily tried to avoid explanations "Her boss seems to know and didn't do anything" Her friends didn't know anything about the necklace magic, better leave it that way. At least for now.

Trisha wasn’t smiling anymore "What is it?" The joy she can normally transmit was gone. One thing Trisha can't tolerate is someone being mean to Emily.

"It's a necklace.. It has a golden chain, a beautiful emerald attached, it looks... Him!" Now she pointed to a man that was walking outside the building, who seemed to be tired "That's her... Boyfriend?" She thought about what kind of relationship they really had, but that was irrelevant at that moment "I'm not sure who has it..."

Ashley started to think, but she needed a confirmation "You need us to follow them?" All of them looked at each other, all completely determined. It worked as an answer for her "I-I see..." She was scared, didn't imagine herself in a young spy movie on these vacations, then watched Yan Yan and remembered the 'Fun idea' thing. There is no turn back now.

Emily felt confident and happy to see her friends supporting her “Thank you… I'm not sure who has it, so we need to sp…”

"Weneedtosplitintwogroups" Ashley abruptly interrupted Emily "ItwillbemoreeffictientifyouEmilygowithYanYantofollowherasyouaretheswiftesthereandcaneasilyoutsmarther!" Deeeeep inhale "TrishaandIwillfollowhimgiveingthefactsheisstrongerandifthingsgobadshecaneasilytakeusbacktosafety" Her soul seems to have leave away her body along with all that plan "W-what do you think?" Silence in the room, even other people around seemed to be confused by that.

Everyone somehow managed to understand and for some reason immediately approved her plan. Trisha smiled and kissed her on the forehead "Love, If I was lesbian, I would kiss those lips right now!" Ashley blushed "You two go after the girl, we will go after that perfectly rounded ass..."

Emily regained her composure, she remembered how Ashley liked to talk, but most of the time felt ashamed to do it "It.. Sounds good. Nice Ash" She smiled at her friend "Then there is no time to waste!" Yan Yan was curious from where this little adventure was going to take them. It will be fun, but she realized she needed to be careful "Just one more thing... Please don't put it on whoever managed to get it first... It's just... Don't do it" That last part seems to be an order, it was weird..

Time to go.

Something Mina was going to miss were the comfortable clothes she used to wear daily. The formal attire seems alien, but familiar at the same time. That must come from Kim.

"Thank you!" She said as she received her lunch, along with Kim's. It has been essentially a... Intense morning. Plenty of feelings to put together, including fear and... Love.

The only thing that matters is love, they said. But love doesn't pay the bills, only work efficiently and be smart when the time demands it. The smartest thing right that moment was getting some food, sex consumes it's good amount of calories, meaning it's necessary to recharge.

It wasn't a complex conclusion but was the first time Mina saw the whole panorama of something so trivial. That's the way Kim tended to visualize every aspect of her daily routine. Now it was part of her, she has a Kim side now.

"(Does she have a Mina side too? If that is the case... Is it a good one?)" Plenty of questions, she will need to figure out with time.

Currently she was entering the elevator, and little did she know that she was being followed. Emily saw in the morning the elevator they were taking, it stopped at the fifth floor. The elevators are windowed and completely visible from outside, giving them the capacity to see the beach outside. She and Yan Yan take the elevator next to the one Mina went to. Emily made it go to the fourth floor, the idea was not to let Mina know she was being followed.

“At least he didn't come here in a car…” Trisha said as they both saw that Will lived in a modest apartment a few blocks from the hotel, just the perfect place to stay while he waited the night for his work.

Ashley wasn’t sure what to think "We haven't seen him with any necklace... What if he doesn't?" He was wearing a big jacket with plenty of space to hide a necklace.

“Have some faith.”

“Even if he has it, h-how are we going to take it?”

"We must enter his apartment... Number 7" They saw him enter the door with the 7 in its center.

The girls were facing a problem, if he entered just then, how were they going to enter? They couldn't sneak in just like that.

"I'm scared... But if we are going to do this, we need more info... Give me a moment" She went away leaving Trisha alone watching the door. A moment later she came back "William Anderson, the main entrance has the name of the occupants. He is a muscular guy, probably a security guard who works at night... We saw him talk friendly with the janitor. He inspires confidence, that's probably because...".

Trisha hugged her "Honey you... I don't know what we will do without that little head of you" She released her, as she patted her head.

"(The only thing I'm good for...) He is leaving!" They saw him leaving now wearing only jeans and a casual shirt, leaving no place for a necklace.

When he was outside the building, they went to his door hoping he left it open or something.

“Not a chance, it's fully closed.” Ashley said.

"I have an idea" She heard the janitor coming close and she was knocking the door, so she started her act "Will!! Come on babe! We have just come to visit you and are going to leave us here waiting for you!?" The janitor was watching the noisy girl.

“Ohh I'm sorry miss, but Mr. Anderson has just left to buy some supplies at the storage at the end of the street. Maybe if you could wait for…”

Trisha honestly smiled “Ohh that's even better!” Now was time for them to play their cards “(We have a few minutes then, good) You see, he is our cousin, and we wanted to give him a surprise…”

The janitor was confused “Cousin? But I thought he grew up in an orphanage…”

“Eh… (Shit!!) You se....” She didn’t have something coherent to say.

But Ashley interrupted her "We grew up together… The thing is he always took care of us when we were kids, and eventually we both were adopted... We called ourselves cousins, because.... ‘Brothers and sisters’ was too cliche and... He told us he worked at that big hotel at the beach... In... security?" She wasn't sure if she was doing good or not with the lie.

The Janitor smiled “That really sounds like him, always being a knight in shiny armor, hehe.”

Trisha planted her hand on Ashley's shoulder “(Nice one darling) The thing is... If he is going to come soon, we might give him a surprise... Could you let us in? Pretty please…”

"Is against the protocol... But he is one of the only ones who's nice to me..." He looked at Ashley "And you two seemed to be good girls... I suppose it’s fine... Give him a good surprise" And he opened the door.

Trisha hugged the old man "You are an angel! He will be sooooo happy to see us..." She hugged him, and quickly took Ashley's hand and entered the room.

After Emily and Yan Yan took the stairs from the fourth floor, they saw that most of the fifth floor was under renovations, leaving only the office at the end of the hall untouched. Then Emily saw Mina and said "She is going there!"

“Shh!”

“Sorry…”

Mina was walking to Kim's office singing some pop song to herself. A moment later she arrived where Kim was very focused on something on her mind. She decided to make her presence noticed “Entering for the main entrance... The beautiful model is delivering some yummy and tasty hamburgers to her Mistress... I mean.. Boss.. I need to plan more for this entrance…”

Kim awoke from the trance she was diving in “Oh? Don't worry about it.. What time is it? Wow.. Didn't realize... A h-hamburger? I haven't had one since…”

“Exactly! You must break that stupid rule about only low calories food.” She gave her a VERY high calories hamburger.

Kim stared at for a moment "You are right.." She bit it, and smiled "It's good... Aren't you going to close the door?"

Emily felt they were about to get caught "(Oh no...)" They were hiding behind it while spying on them.

Mina refused “Naah.. Nobody comes here at this hour.. Besides, what's going on?”

Kim realized she needed to talk to someone about it "It's just..." She looked apart from Mina's eyes, it wasn’t easy for her.

She put her hand on Kim's shoulder "Tell me.. Please" She remembered Kim wasn’t so open to talk before the necklace, for her this was harder than anyone she knew.

Emily whispered to Yan Yan "What's going on between them?" She asked quietly, as for Yan Yan only smiled and made a heart with her hands “Oh? They…”

Mina remembered what Will said to her "Almost forgot! Will send you this!" Kim looked at her again, as she planted a lovely kiss on her lips.

Emily’s face changed from being confused to plain disgust "Ugh... Disgusting... They both are women..." Emily kept her eyes focused on Mina, while her face showed how disgusted she was.

If she could watch her friend, she could have seen the tear leaving her face at that moment… “(Disgusting...)” The only possible thought on Yan Yan’s mind. Not everyday someone you care about broke your heart and didn’t realize it.

Mina insisted “Tell me, what's going on?... I gave him the necklace until the night, by the way.”

Kim sighed “You see…”

Emily quietly stood up “Come, they don't have it.”

Yan Yan couldn’t say anything, she just followed Mina.

Trisha didn’t imagine Will’s apartment would be that way “It's so clean…”

It wasn’t particularly big, two rooms, a small kitchen with a comfortable living room. The two of them were looking inside the humble apartment for a necklace like Emily described.

Ashley was concerned about something else “This is making me uncomfortable, I... Didn't properly think about this…” Now she began to think about what they were actually doing “We are in someone else place... I'd never dare to do something like this... Ever…”

“Me too dear, but they stole something from Emily... I can't let them... Go away just like that…” She remembered her and Emily’s childhood “You see, when she was.... There!” Over the table in the kitchen was their treasure. It was exactly like Emily said. Somehow they felt attracted to it.

"It's beautiful..." She imagined herself wearing that fine jewelry "I.. No, it belongs to Emily"

Trisha smirked “ But you want to wear it, isn't it? Love, it won't kill you to wear it once.”

“But she said…”

“It's just a moment, she wouldn't mind.”

"But..." She couldn't deny she has a strong desire to wear it "Fine".

They went to the bathroom where there was a wide mirror. Ashley never stopped looking at the necklace.

"Wow... The golden color suits you, that green.. Glowing?" She didn't realize her friend was in trance as she turned back and grabbed Trisha arms with **** "Ouch! Since when are you soo..." Her eyes now were focused on Ashley's, as they have an unnatural green glow.

Soon Ashley's body began to sink inside Trisha, as she was losing consciousness.

At Will’s apartment, a girl tried to regain consciousness, several minutes have trancurred since Ashley and Trisha entered.

Ashley was disoriented "Ugh.. I... Trisha?" She woke up confused looking for her friend as she stood up from the bathroom floor.

“(Ash!! Over here!!... Where is ‘here’?)”

"I can hear you! Can't see you..." She realized her body seems to be different, and looked in the mirror again "... Trisha? But... It's.."

“(You... But also me...)”

The image in the mirror was an apparently 5ft 9in girl with a thin body, but with some muscles included. The face was more influenced by Ashley features like her freckles, but with makeup like Trisha. The body mostly took the form of Trisha, and the chest improved a bit in size, at least from Ashley's perspective, but hard to say from Trisha. The hair took a disheveled form, with a lighter pink color. They were wearing Trisha clothes, while Ashley's were on the floor but the necklace was nowhere “What's…”

“(... going on...)”

Will saw the mysterious girl having what he suspected was her first fusion "Took you long enough" He said while sitting on his bed, with the necklace around his neck "You are confused, I get it. But also, you are in my place apparently visiting me... Dear 'cousin'..."
