Authoress’ notes: This should get me off the hook with Blue Leader, Bubba and all the other Gutter Girls who were as subtle hinting that I should write a chapter in this round robin as Dotty West is to her Daughter hinting she should Marry Lee.
Dedication: This story is dedicated to ‘THE KRIS’ since it is her birthday upon which I am posting this.
Disclaimer: This is my work so why would I want to disassociate myself from it? I don’t own any of the characters but you already know that. I mean can you imagine if I owned LEE. OOH I can. Let’s just say Scarecrow would have been a little too busy in my bed to be worried about protecting National Security. He would have still been Amanda’s cause their’s is a case of true love, but there would have been love scenes way before the wedding and he and I would have practiced each one over and over again. Now if Bruce we mine, well I’d keep him naked and happy 24/7. Heck I could spend hours just gazing at those two cute little dimples of his, then I’d spend some time kissing the dimples on his face too. Guess I got side tracked from the original intents of this disclaimer. That is easy to do when thinking about Bruce/Lee/John. Talk about an interesting Trilogy.
Title: Well it is a part of the New Years Eve Adventure Round Robin but if it needs a chapter title that would be: Some Day My Prince Will Come. Notice the Spelling of the word ‘come’. Since I didn’t spell it cum, that means the Rating: will be only pg, cause in this little part, no one including Scarecrow, gets to cum.

When Lisa’s part 13 left off
(repost of the last paragraphs): With that the fortuneteller disappeared into the folds of
the tent
in the
back. Amanda looked at her watch and realized that she was
right,
it was nearing midnight. She wanted to find Lee and ring in
the
New Year with her husband. He was the only man she wanted to
kiss
on the stroke of midnight. She hurried out of the tent and
pushed
her way through the crowd, not bothering to see if her
friends
were following.
Rounding
a corner she ran right into . . .
Amanda bumped into one of the handsomest men she had ever seen. The 6’3 inch tall man was a magnificent specimen of what the human male should look like. His perfectly tailored suit emphasized his muscular body. She could not help the small smile that appeared on her face as he took her hand, looked into her eyes and apologized for bumping into her.
His rich baritone voice was as smooth as honey and with those gorgeous, yet unusual eyes, one deep blue, one light green, Amanda had a feeling this gentleman was definitely a 10 on almost any woman’s list.
“Forgive me please for colliding into you,” the stranger said by way of apology. I am afraid in my haste to find the person I was searching for, I was not paying attention to where I walked.
“No apologies necessary, Amanda remarked. It was just as much my fault as yours, for running into you. If I had been more observant of my surroundings, I would have seen you coming and our collision could have been avoided. “
The olive skin gentleman brought Amanda’s hand to his soft lips and kissed it before he spoke again. “Please for give my deplorable manners and allow me to introduce myself. I am Nickolas Ivan Milos Androplous.” After giving her his name, he released her hand and gave a slight bow.
Wanting to hurry up and find her husband Lee to so she would be with him at midnight, Amanda was eager to excuse herself from the dashing gentleman, but didn’t want to appear rude to someone whom had been nothing but nice and friendly to her. She instead introduced herself to him. “My name is Amanda King.”
It is a pleasure to meet you Mrs. King. I am afraid I must hurry now because I am most anxious to renew an old acquaintance before midnight, but I would be honored if you would address me as Nikki, as my friends do, should we meet again.
“Only if you will call me Amanda,” she said. It was nice meeting you…
“Your Highness” came a familiar voice from behind her as she felt a strong arm encircle her waist and she was pulled close in an embrace by her husband, Lee Stetson. Lee stuck out his other hand and Nikki grasp it in a warm gesture of friendship.
“No need for such formalities tonight, Stetson. I am just Nikki tonight. My bodyguards have been instructed to keep an inconspicuous profile tonight because I do not wish to be ‘The Prince’ this evening. I see it is not necessary for introductions, as you seem to be very familiar with Mrs. King, Lee.
Noticing the mischievous look in the prince’s eyes, Lee hastened to correct his misperception about his relationship with Amanda. Nikki and Lee had spent sometime together at some of the various nightspots in DC after the Agency had solved his case. Lee knew that the prince would remember his womanizing ways and valued Amanda’s reputation too much to let such thoughts besmirch it.
“It has been a long time since we have seen each other old friend. There have been many good changes in my life since we last talked face to face. I believe I mentioned in one of my Christmas cards that I acquired a new partner a few years back. Well Amanda, Mrs. King that is, is the person I was talking about. Working with Amanda made me clean up my act. Lee had turned to look at Amanda when he made that last statement and noticed a very becoming blush appear on her lovely features.
“It seems it is you then, Mrs. King, that I have to thank for the lovely Christmas Present I received from Stetson this year. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box and it contained something other than a scarf,” Nikki ribbed Lee good-naturedly. His note said his partner had helped him pick it out. The gift was lovely Amanda.”
Amanda did not know what gift he was talking about so Lee filled her in. Remember when I told you I had and old friend, who had everything a person could want, that I wanted to get something very nice, well Nik was that person.
“Oh my gosh. Lee if you ad told me the gift was for royalty, I would have suggested something much nicer. I mean this was for a prince, Lee,” Amanda squeaked out embarrassed that the gift was not more extravagant.
“Nonsense, lovely lady. The gift was perfect. I am happy to see that my old friend Lee has someone so special in his life, even if he claims you are only his partner. It has been a long time since I have seen him, but I do remember that he never looked at any of the women he met when we were out together the way he looks at you, my dear. It appears to me, that the Scarecrow has been tamed. While I would love to stick around and find out if I am indeed right about that, I am afraid, I must bid the two of you adieu. It is nearing midnight and I have yet to find the person I seek. Lee old man, you wouldn’t happen to know where she is would you?” Nikki asked hopefully.
“Actually I do. Just before I came over here, she was over near the punch bowl talking to Effraim Beeman. Lee pointed out their location for Nikki. Nikki whispered so only Lee could here him, “I can’t believe that little dweeb is still sniffing after her skirts after all these years”
Lee gave a hearty laugh and informed the prince that he was sure the lady in question would relish a rescue right about now.
Amanda saw Nikki head toward Beeman and Francine. Lee moved back to her side and they watched in Amusement as the prince walked up to the couple said hello and then proceeded to kiss Francine square on the mouth. It was not a quick chaste kiss either, but the deep, passionate kiss of an old lover claiming his territory. Mrs. Stetson’s eyes grew wide with shock Nikki’s boldness because she had no ideal that Francine and Nikki new each other. Lee hearing his wife’s slight gasp of surprise, chuckled and said, “I hear his country has gotten much larger in the last few years. I wonder if Francine is going to turn him down this time?”
“You don’t mean to say that he”…Amanda asked Lee incredulously, referring to the rumor that she had heard about Francine refusing to marry a prince because his country was too small. “She turned him down, him…” the usually wordy woman was having trouble completing sentences due to her state of disbelief.
“You know sweetheart, with the way you keep saying that, If I didn’t know any better, I might start to get a little jealous of Nikki” Lee teased her.
“You know my heart belongs only to you big fella, his wife practically purred, then looked around to make sure no one was watching as she kissed him quickly on the lips. Taking his hand, she began to lead him away saying, “As much as I am curious to find out what is going on “As days of Francine Desmond’s life turns, there is something else I am much more interested in doing. I seem to recall a certain secret agent promising to expose all my secret places and delve deep into them until he was satisfied that I had shared everything with him. There was also some big talk about us experiencing our own personal fireworks show at the stroke of midnight. As it is almost the midnight hour, I think we should move our private celebration to our room on the sixth floor. That way when the clock strikes twelve, we will be deep undercover.” By this time they had escape the agency party and were making their way toward the elevator. Lee Growled, “I can’t swear to the location of the covers, some how I have the feeling they will be in a tangled heap on the floor, but I know when the New Year comes in I will be in deep.”
Hearing Lee declaration, Amanda jabbed the elevator button and was relieved it arrived so quickly. Lee being the gentleman he was allowed her to proceed into the elevator first. They were the only ones on the elevator and neither of them minded the privacy. He pushed the button for the sixth floor and leaned over to kiss Amanda. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, a voice broke the silence and a hand prevented the elevator door from closing. “Hold the elevator” came the familiar voice of….
