Next Weekend was Easter, which meant a 4 days weekend. They had a few things planned. Jackie and Anthony were going on a little getaway starting wednesday night until monday night. The girls were very excited to be alone for the first time since Valentine's day.

They just chilled on Friday and Saturday. They were watching Hop on Saturday's afternoon when Cheryl came up with an interesting Idea.

"T.T there's something I would like to do tomorrow."

She put the movie on pause. "Anything for you baby."

"It's an Easter tradition we used to do with my Grandfather and we never stopped it."

"Tell me about it babe." Toni was interested in her girlfriend's life.

"So on Easter morning, we woke up around 4 am. Then we drove to a stream that never stopped flowing, even during the winter. Then we collected some of that water and drank it. It's supposed to be holy water."

Toni arched an eyebrow but continued to listen to her.

"After that we need to collect some birch bark, before the sun rises. It's supposed to help you to always have everything you need." She bit her lips. " That's crazy I know."

"So every year you get up at 4 in the morning to go get some water and a piece of bark?"

"I would understand if you are not interested."

"Babe. If it's important to you, it's important to me." She kissed Cheryl. "And we have brunch at Veronica's after."

"You'll really come with me." She asked Toni, still surprised that her girlfriend was fine with going with her. Since Toni really loved her sleep.

"Of course baby. I'll do anything for you even if it's crazy." She smiled.

"Well we'll have to go to bed early then."

"That's bad, because I had plans for Tonight."

"Don't worry Toni. J'ai des plans, for Monday. Before your parents are back."

"Oh Yeah? I can't wait."

They finished the movie, ate a quick dinner and they were in bed early.

At 4am Cheryl's alarm started to ring. She got out of bed and heard Toni groaning. She wasn't a morning person. She kissed Toni just below her ear. "Wake up my love."

"You're lucky I love you." She kissed her.

"You're grumpy in the morning."

"Only a little bit. Let me enjoy your beauty and I'll be okay." She smiled.

"Well I'll go to the bathroom and change." She took some clothes from the closet. Toni sat in the bed and looked at her. She was only wearing panties and a tall t-shirt that stopped just below her butt. She bent to take something in the last drawer. Toni saw just the curve of her ass and she was enjoying the view. This woman was so sexy.

She turned her head to look at Toni. "What are you looking at baby?"

"You."

Cheryl smirked. "T.T you should get dressed. I promise that what I have planned for you will be worth the wait."

Toni got out of bed. She grabbed some clothes and got dressed. They still have to dress well because they had brunch at Veronica's right after.

Cheryl got out of the bathroom. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail. She wore blue jeans with a red blouse. She was beautiful. She was always beautiful in Toni' eyes. "So pretty." She kissed her.

" ust like you T.T." Toni wore black jeans, a bad t-shirt and a flannel. "Are we ready, my love."

"Yeah babe. I think the best place to go is near the sweetwater river."

"Excellent. Are you driving?"

"Yes I can."

They drove to the sweetwater river. They had to walk in the woods to get closer to the water. People were still walking there during the winter so there was a trail.

"So do you need me to help you with something?"

"No T.T thank you." She took her bottle and walked to the water. She bent down and collected the water, which was crystal clear. After that she chose a tree and took a big piece of bark from it."T.T do you want to drink some water?"

"Am I supposed to? Isn't it full of bacteria or something?"

"No risk baby. The water is crystal clear, plus it's holy water."

Toni took a sip from the bottle."This is surprisingly fresh."

"Told you!" She smiled and gave Toni a piece of the bark. "This should bring you prosperity."

"Thanks baby. It's still kind of early. Do you want to stop at Pop's for a coffee before we head to Veronica's?"

"Yes that would be great T.T"

They stopped by Pop's. They ordered coffee and chatted until it was time for them to go to Veronica's.

Veronica's parents were extra just like her. They were happy to invite Toni and Cheryl when they heard that they were alone for easter.

Sweet Pea was there as well. Toni thought it was funny to see Sweet Pea being so well behaved. He was obviously trying to make a good impression on Veronica's father.

" That was very nice of you to invite us. " Toni said.

"It's our pleasure Antoinette. You are like family to us." Hermione said. "And I'm glad to get to learn more about your lovely girlfriend."

They chatted for a good part of the morning. The girls were home by dinner time. They didn't have anything planned for the evening so they just cuddled on the couch in front of a movie.

Toni's parents were coming back after dinner. Cheryl had some fun activities for them. They were cleaning the kitchen after breakfast. Cheryl hugged Toni from behind and kissed her shoulder. "T.T, I have a surprise for you."

She smiled when she felt the lips on her shoulder. "What is it baby? An easter egg."

"More like a little game." She smirked. "But.. maybe there's chocolate involved. Because you know.. it's Easter after all."

"What is the game baby?"

"T.T you are going to go into our room and wait like a good girl."

"Don't be too long." She kissed Cheryl and went to their room. She sat on her bed and waited for her girlfriend.

Cheryl had hidden some clothes in the first floor bathroom. She changed her underwear for a red lace bra and red panties. Over that she wore a white blouse and a red plaid skirt. She put on white high knee socks and red high heels. She styled her hair in a high ponytail. She finished her look with her glasses. Toni was going to love that look.

She went to the bedroom. Toni was waiting on the bed. Her mouth opened when she saw Cheryl. "Holy shit."

"Language Miss Topaz."

"Sorry.." She took her time to look at Cheryl. Sometimes Toni wondered if all of this was real.

"Miss Topaz. You know the drill. Today the quiz subject is French. For every good Answer I remove a piece of Clothing. And if you get an answer back. I put it back on" She smirked, looking at Toni who was very excited. " There are 9 pieces of clothing and 10 questions. If you manage to remove all my clothes you win the big prize."

Toni raised her hand wanting to play her role.

"Yes miss Topaz?"

"What is the big prize?"

"You can do whatever you want with my body. And... I have some melted chocolate that I would love for you to eat on my body."

"I'm very hungry right now."

"Shall we start?"

"I'm gonna nail this test."

She smiled. "Okay. What Je T'aime means"

"I love you." Toni answered proudly.

Cheryl removed one of her heels. "I love you too T.T. Now tell me how do you say "how are you?""

"Comment vas-tu?" She said with an accent. Sometimes the pronunciation was the hardest part.

"Excellent T.T." She removed the other heel.

Toni was very good. She was getting all the answers right. Cheryl had removed the socks too. The next piece of clothes was probably the blouse and Toni couldn't wait to see what was under.

"How do you say My girlfriend is hot?"

"Ma petite amie est sexy."

"Right T.T" She slowly undid the blouse buttons and removed it, revealing the red lace bra. "Is your girlfriend hot T.T?"

She nodded.

"Use your world Toni."

"Yes. She is very fucking hot."

Cheryl loved her girlfriend's reactions. Toni answered the next question right. Cheryl was now only in her lace underwear.

Toni was looking at her almost drooling.

"T.T you need to focus. It's a tough one. How do you say, ''I am in love with this woman."

"Je suis amoureux de cette femme."

"Oh T.T you almost got it. But it's amoureuse because you are a girl." She put her skirt back on." You can make any more mistakes T.T or no more Chocolate for you."

"You're a tease babe."

"You like that."

"I do very much."

Toni got the next answer right. Cheryl was standing in front of her only in her panties. Toni had trouble concentrating.

"Last one, Toni. Je ne peux plus attendre que tu me fasse l'amour. What did I just say?"

Toni thought for a few seconds not wanting to miss this one. "humm. I can't wait for you to make love to me?"

Cheryl slowly removed her panties. She grabbed the melted chocolate and put it on the bedside table. She got closer to Toni, their lips were almost touching. "Are you claiming your gift T.T."

Toni took her time, she looked at her girlfriend's eyes, then her lips and her eyes again before kissing her.

She flipped them over so she was on top, She was fast to remove her clothes. She took the melted chocolate and drizzled some on Cheryl's breast and collarbone.

She licked the chocolate from Cheryl's collarbone, she went up to her neck and sucked on her pulse point. She heard Cheryl moaning and that sound was making her crazy.

She kissed her down to her breast, licking all the chocolate she put there. She sucked on her right nipple while she squeezed her left boob. Cheryl's hand was tangled in her hair slightly pulling on it as she moaned.

"Babe I have to say I never had a chocolate as good as you."

"T.T please don't tease."

"This is very bold of you to ask since you spend 30 minutes teasing me in those sexy clothes." Toni took more chocolate and drizzled some from her belly to just below her center.

"God Toni.. " She moaned.

Toni licked her way down, sucking and nipping the skin on the way. She took a second to look at Cheryl's wet center. Her tongue was against Cheryl's center. The redhead tasted amazing. She was sucking on her clit while the redhead had her hand on her head, holding her even closer. Her fingers teamed up with her tongues. Cheryl was moaning. Toni loved how loud she was. She could feel that she was close. Toni pumped her fingers faster and Cheryl was coming undone.

"Oh My God." Her breathing was still fast.

"That good babe?"

"You were really born to please women T.T"

She laughed. "Well this gift was a little messy but I loved it."

"Yes, I think I still have chocolate on me." She laughed.

"Let's take a shower I'll help you with that."

"Good Idea T.T. I think you have some on you as well."

They took a shower until there was no more hot water. Giving Cheryl the time to give Toni two releases.

**********

Toni had turned in her recommendation letter for the exchange student program as soon as she had gotten to school this morning. Between work, planning everything for the summer and next year, as well as prom, she was exhausted.

"Yo, T. You don't look so good," Sweet Pea stood in front of her. She had apparently run into him while walking down the hallway at school.

Toni put her hand on her forehead, "Yeah, sorry. I'm so tired. I've been really busy."

Sweet Pea nodded in understanding and pulled his bookbag in front of him. Toni leaned up against some lockers while her friend dug around in his back. "Ah!" Sweet Pea cheered. "Found it!" He extended his arm and handed her an energy drink. "This should keep you awake."

Toni grimaced and said, "You know how I am on these things." She took the can and looked at it with her lips turning up.

"Yeah," he laughed. "It really kicks up your ADHD and crackhead ener- Ow!" Sweet Pea rubbed his arm where Toni had just punched him.

"I'm not drinking this. Save it for later. You drink like three of these a day."

"Only when I'm going to Ronnie's later," Sweet Pea grinned.

Toni shoved his shoulder and said, "You're disgusting, dude. Oh, are we still going to that tux place tomorrow?"

Sweet Pea shrugged, "Yeah, I'm down. Ronnie finally picked out what colors she wants to go with. I assume Red wants to go with Red?"

The two started walking down the hall to their next class, and Toni stopped at a vending machine to grab a soda with a bit less caffeine than her friend's energy drinks. "We actually agreed on maroon."

Somehow, Toni made it through the school day without falling asleep. Well, without falling asleep in class. She and Cheryl spent lunch outside, laying in the grass, and Toni fell asleep on Cheryl's lap while she played with Toni's hair.

There was a home game that night and while Cheryl was cheerleading at the game with the Vixens, Toni was working at Pop's, trying to smile wide and make as many tips as she possibly could. In doing so, she was secretly hoping Pop would let her off early so that she could go home and sleep.

-

A few hours later, not getting off early, Toni was driving back home; her parents had stopped by earlier to drop the car off. It was a quick drive home with the music blaring over the radio. After she parked, she sent her girlfriend a quick text to let her know that she had gotten home, along with an I love you.

Cheryl was spending the night at Veronica's and they would go dress shopping the next day, while Toni and Sweet Pea went tux shopping. Toni was actually a little glad that she was extremely tired tonight so that it would be easy to fall asleep without Cheryl by her side.

Toni stayed up for a little while longer; long enough to shower and have a snack. As she got into bed with extra pillows to cuddle with, her phone dinged with a text. It was Cheryl letting her know that they won that game and that a few of them were heading to the Pembrooke, along with an I love you too.

Toni was warm under her blanket, cuddling the pillows in front of her as she quickly fell asleep.

-

It didn't seem like any time had passed when Toni's alarm went off. She reached over to turn it off, and found she was still cuddling the pillow in front of her. She rubbed her eyes and wiped off some dried drool on the side of her face.

She texted Cheryl a good morning text and then texted Sweet Pea to see if he was awake yet. She didn't get a response from either of them and got up to get coffee and something to eat.

The house was strangely quiet when she went out to the kitchen, but Toni found a note from her mom saying that she and Anthony had gone for a run and they would bring back Pop's whenever they came back.

Strange, Toni thought. Mom never ran with dad.

Toni's phone dinged with a text, getting her mind back to the present. It was Sweet Pea letting her know that he was awake and ready whenever she was. Toni ate some toast and drank coffee while she got dressed for the day. After fixing her hair and brushing her teeth, she texted Sweet Pea to let him know she was ready to be picked up.

-

They had tried on multiple suits in the last few hours and Toni was starting to get hangry. She tried on a maroon suit with a beige vest and red tie; it fit fine, but she didn't feel like it suited her well. There was another one that Sweet Pea insisted she tried on because 'it would look amazing!' and so Toni did. And she hated it.

Finally, at the third store, she found one that she loved. The tux was maroon with lapels lined with red silk. The button up dress shirt beneath it was also red, and it was paired with a black bow tie. Toni walked out from behind the curtain to find Sweet Pea checking himself out in the large mirror. He looked extremely handsome wearing a tux similar to hers, but it was deep blue with black lapels, and a blue vest with a black dress shirt.

She smiled at her friend and then he caught her eye and his jaw dropped. "T, you look amazing," he said slowly, with a smile growing on his face.

"So do you, Pea. I think our dates are going to look better, though."

"Oh, definitely."

-

The rest of the week dragged on for Toni, just like the week before had. She wanted it to be Saturday, so she could go to her junior prom with her girlfriend and their friends.

She had gotten the weekend off from work, which Pop had absolutely no problem with, especially with it being prom weekend.

Toni and Cheryl had decided to not show each other any pictures of their outfits or of Sweet Pea's or Veronica's. Everyone wanted it to be a surprise.

So while Cheryl was at Veronica's getting ready, Sweet Pea was at Toni's doing the same. Once they were ready, their limo would take them to the Pembrook to pick up their dates. Toni was looking in the mirror, going back and forth on whether or not she should leave the bow tie untied or if she should tie it.

After watching video after video and struggling, she decided to leave it untied, and realized that she quite liked the look. She turned around to find Sweet Pea all ready to go with his bow tie tied, and she said, "How the hell did you tie that?" Pointing at this neck.

Sweet Pea grabbed each side of the bow and made sure it was straight in the mirror when he said, "It's a clip on," with a grin.

"How's it going in here?" Anthony burst through the door with a smile on his face. "Jackie's waiting in the living room with the camera." His eyes moved to Toni's bow tie and he frowned, "You didn't get a clip on?"

Toni let out a laugh and shook her head, "No, I didn't. I like a challenge and I think I'm going to leave it untied."

Anthony nodded slowly. "Right. I'm sure I'll get lots of comments about 'this generation'. Come to the living room when you're ready."

After messing with her hair a little more, making sure the curls were in all the right places, she pulled her jacket tighter and decided she was ready. Sweet Pea smoothed down his hair one last time and they made their way to Toni's parents.

Jackie squealed when she saw them, "Oh, my goodness! You both look so handsome, or... or beautiful?" The teenagers laughed at her. "You've both grown up so much."

"Mom, are you crying?" Toni asked with a small laugh before she hugged her mother.

Jackie nodded and said, "Of course I am." Her hands were now outstretched and on Toni's shoulders. "I'm just so proud of you, and I'm proud to be your mom, honey." She turned to the boy, "And Sweet Pea, you've grown up and matured so much. I'm proud of you, too."

"Thanks, Jackie," He gave her a hug and kissed her cheek.

Jackie sniffled and finally said, "Alright, you two. Stand together." She took multiple pictures back to back before Anthony finally stopped her.

"Alright, hun. I think that's enough. We'll get more pictures at the walk through."

Jackie nodded with a sigh and wiped at her nose.

-

Sweet Pea knocked on the door to the penthouse which was quickly opened by Hiram Lodge who practically gave him a death glare. "Nathaniel, Antoinette, come in. The girls should be out soon."

Toni and Sweet Pea stood awkwardly in the living room for a few minutes waiting on their dates. Toni was nervous to see her girlfriend, and she knew that the boy standing next to her felt the same way about Veronica.

They were both on their phones, taking selfies when the door to Veronica's bedroom opened. When Toni looked up, her eyes sparkled like Cheryl had never seen before, and
