Wonderful story, Tallguy!

That Amy was surely a troublemaker. I'll bet she was the one who told on the narrator at the school. I would never recommend going about things that way, since it probably does indeed count as kidnapping. And wow, not just jail, but a Venezuelan jail? *Shudder* No thank you! He was lucky the parents didn't have him arrested for that.

Personally, I was wondering why do that when they could have just gone to the beach after she got home from school, but that might not have left enough time in the day when the sun is high. Still the same legal worry, but at least nobody would have told.

I had an Amy to contend with at one time. She was supposed to be a friend but used to steal things from my special girl, and she lied often. She was also very forward with me, but in a way that was not appealing. In one way it felt like she was trying to outdo my girl, but in another way I could tell she was a troublemaker and probably wouldn't hesitate to go lying to another adult in a way that would ruin everything.

I did learn one big lesson regarding age from her. One time I got the better of her despite her scheming, and jokingly (so I thought, from my perspective) stuck my tongue out at her in silent victory. Well, a girl of that age and with her sort of personality did not take that gesture so lightly. Hell hath no fury like a bratty little girl scorned, and I got to experience her revenge in all sorts of little ways from then on. I remember thinking wow, even though she's so much younger than me, she's still on that female level of getting even which, as a guy, I was not prepared for. I won't get into detail here, but she made things really difficult after that. She was my own Amy of sorts.

We should all start a new girl love term: An "Amy" being another little girl that your girl knows or is friends with, who tries to derail things between you, usually because she is jealous of you spending time together.

Amy will tell lies.
Amy will try to screw things up.
Amy will push herself into things where she's not wanted.

Amy might even cause drama to draw the attention of other adults, or drop the dime on you to an adult -- not because she is worried about your girl, but strictly because she wants to be rid of you for her own selfish reasons.

Amy is usually/often more clever than your girl, but uses this cleverness in negative ways. Your girl might not even realize what a scheming little she-devil Amy is, but an Amy is always bad news!

Come to think of it, I've encountered teenaged and grown women Amy as well. It seems Amy is an archetype female in any age range.
