Lani looked at him amusedly, and with a small laugh, said, "My oh my, you look like you're flying, man!"

Moses didn't answer, but made a funny face, spread his arms out from his body like a pair of wings, and began to sing in an off-key voice. "Up we gooo… into the wild blue yonder…"

Lani turned away from him with a laughs and headed down toward the Pool. Moses is a scream, she thought to herself, but a really heavy character, too. Lani didn't know, of course, that what she assumed to be the unfathomable depth of Moses personality was in reality only an endless vacuum.

She walked quickly down the path leading to the Pool, and stopped by the edge of the clearing. There was no one in the water, or anywhere to be seen. She looked around once more, and then decided Moses must have been seeing things, which was very possible, and turned to go back up the path. She stopped as something caught her eye. She bent to pick it up, and saw that it was her mother's shoe, one of the ones she'd been wearing only a short time ago. Well, she thought to herself, she must be around here somewhere.

Lani turned back into the clearing, and began to walk around to the far side. She hadn't gone very far when she heard voices somewhere in the trees off to her right.

"Mom?" she called out, but didn't get an answer. She turned to where she thought she had heard the voices, and began to make her way in under the trees. She had almost decided she'd been hearing things, when she came to a tiny exposed place between two or three large oaks, and stopped abruptly, her eyes widening, an electric jolt of disbelief surging through her horrified body.

For what she saw, incredibly, unbelievably, were the nakedly entwined bodies of her voluptuous mother and her own muscular boyfriend!

She reeled in shock, and felt the strength leave her legs in a rush, making her feel totally helpless and alone. It couldn't be! It must be some kind of nightmare! It isn't possible!
