Part 1 - the previous day.
Andrew came running up to Cindy after school. As usual, she pulled him into a hug but then she saw the panicked look on his face. She had a huge sense of worry for him. Only recently, he had loved a girl who had made advances on him, but humiliated him by revealing his secrets. She didn't want his fragile heart to be broken again, and as such she worried for him immensely.
"Andy, what's up?"
"No time to explain," he spoke hurriedly. "Just gather the Amazons at your house. I'll meet you there in half an hour!"
He ran off, leaving Cindy looking incredibly bemused.
Nevertheless, she texted the Amazons, telling them to meet at her house. Honey couldn't make it - she had netball practise - but the other three Amazons met Cindy there, still in their school uniforms.
"What's up, Cindy?" Ella asked.
"I'm not sure. Andy said to gather us here. He wouldn't explain anything else."
Ella perked up at the mention of Andy.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Cindy opened it and pulled Andy in. She sat him down then glared at him, hands on hips.
"What is it Andy?"
"Yeah," Ella said, sitting on the arm of Andy's chair, her short skirt riding up (entirely intentional on her part). "Not that we don't like your company, it's just, girls don't do short notice meetings."
Andy, unlike the four girls, had changed out of his school uniform and was wearing jeans and T-shirt.
"I havn't got long, girls. I was cornered at lunch by the Blockheads (the name the Amazons gave to the leaders of the local Boy Scout troop) and they threatened me until I told them where you lived. They were stupid enough to let me go, so I tried to find you and warn you. They should be coming soon!"
"But what for?" Jennifer asked. "Why would they raid us?"
"I'm not sure." Andy said thoughtfully. "Might be a panty raid."
The four girls exclaimed in disgust.
"Boys," Ella said disdainfully. "They never mature." She glanced at Andy. "Well...most of them don't anyway!"
"Or...." Cindy ventured. "They could be after the plans for our Girl Scout Troop Trip this weekend! They might be planning to ambush it!"
Ruby giggled. "Maybe it's both!"
Suddenly Andy went white. "I saw something moving. Everyone hide. You can ambush them! I'll pretend I was here and didn't know where you were."
Cindy hid behind the sofa, Ella in the cupboard and the twins hid in the next room.
There was a knock on the door, a thump and a groan of pain. Then four boys entered the room. The leader was Brad, one of those boys every girl went crazy for. Except, he was a vehement enemy of the Amazons, and their girl scouts. Ella had dated him, but he had humiliated and dumped her, so she hated him even more. The other three boys were Adam, Tom and Billy. Adam was the classical dumb henchman, and followed Brad's orders without hesitation. Tom was the calculator of the group - Cindy grudgingly respected him as a worthy adversary. Billy was a shy sort and seemed to be only in the background, bullied into following orders. He seemed unwilling, but unable to leave the group. All four boys were 14.
Cindy knew the other girls would wait for her to strike before striking. She smiled as Adam sat down on the sofa. Luckily, Tom neared the cupboard and Billy stayed by the door. She was about to strike when she noticed Andy, with a huge bruise on his face. A surge of anger went through her and she pounced on Adam. The Amazons were on top of the boys before they could fght back. Cindy turned Adam over and wrapped her legs around his neck, trapping him. She looked over at the toher Amazons and saw that Ella had Tom pinned to the ground, while the twins sat on top of poor Billy. She thought they had it in hand, when a shout got her attention. It was Brad.
"Hey Prissy (his nickname for Cindy), let my friends go, or your little boyfriend here gets it."
