job! Anyway, I don't own the characters. And Jade,
thank you soooo much for the help. Please, if you like
my stories, then read Jade's. They're WAY better than
mine. So, here ya go...
Bryce lowered his head to capture Ami's lips in a
gentle kiss(romance sucks, doesn't it??). Ami closed
her eyes and gave in. Slowly, she wrapped her arms
around his neck and the kiss deepend. Bryce seemed to
be in heaven.
As they pulled apart, Ami's face flushed. She felt bad
for kissing Bryce. She didn't like him that way, but
things like this happened. She felt like she had
betrayed her heart, since someone else owned it. She
had to tell him, now.
She let her hands slip down from his shoulders and
gently pushed him away. "We.. can't do this," she
said, her voice cracking.
"Why not," Bryce asked but he knew why. Ami simply
stood there with head hanging. "There is another?"
A tear slid down Ami's face. "Yes..." But that wasn't
true. "No, not really..." That wasn't true either. Ami
sighed. "There is someone I care for deeply, but, it
would be impossiable to be involved with them." Just
hearing that from herself, Ami broke down. She fell to
her knees in the snow, crying uncontrollably.
Even though Bryce's heart was now broken in two, he
couldn't let her freeze. He knelt down next to her and
placed his coat around her shoulders. "Thank you."
"Don't mention it," Bryce said.
"I'm sorry. I led you on, I know I did," Ami said. She
looked up at him. His heart was breaking, she knew it.
But, he was smiling. Why? "What?"
"Who is it," he asked.
"I can't tell you. You would think I was weird," Ami
said.
"I doubt that. Who is it," Bryce asked again.
"No, I can't."
"Please?"
"I told you, I can't. What if they found out..." She
started.
"Lita."
"I would...,"then it hit her as to what he had just
said. "W-what?"
"It's Lita, isn't it," Bryce asked. Ami hung her head
again and began to cry. "Blue, what's wrong?"
"You... can't... tell her." Ami looked at him again.
"Please, don't tell her," she pleaded. "I can't lose
our friendship. PLease, Bryce. Don't tell anyone."
Bryce smiled and gathered her up in his arms. "I
promise I won't tell her. But, can we still be
friends? Despite what happened. I can't lose your
friendship either." Ami nodded her head 'yes.' "Good."
And he hugged her tighter.
(Lita's apartment)
Bryce and Ami walked the hall way to Lita's apartment.
Bryce promised not to say anything about her crush on
Lita and she promised to stay his friend. They even
held hands while walking down the hallway.
When they reached the door, Ami returned Bryce's coat.
"Thank you, Bryce. I had fun tonight." Ami smiled.
"I did too. Good night, Blue."Bryce kissed Ami on the
cheek and she hugged him.
"Thank you,"Ami whispered.
"For what," Bryce asked.
"For being such a good friend," Ami smiled. There was
a pause. "I didn't mean to break your heart, Bryce."
He sighed sadly. "I know. But, I'm glad you were
honest with me. Good night, Ami." He saw Ami into the
apartment and he left.
Ami closed the door and leaned against it. "I need to
stop this now," Ami said out loud.
"Stop what?" Ami jumped three feet into the air.
"Sorry," Lita said.
"No biggie. I just need to stop..." Ami thought for a
minute. "Thinking so much. When I get really tired, my
brain kicks into overtime and I think too much."
"Cool," Lita said. "Did you have fun tonight?"
"Yeah," Ami said. "A blast," she said sarcastically.
Lita picked up on this very quickly.
"Did he hurt you," Lita demanded. "If he did, I'll..."
"Lita, calm down. It was a joke. I hd a great time.
I'm going to bed, Lita. Good night," Ami said after
hanging her coat in the closet.
Lita smiled. "Good night, Girl Genius."
(the next day)
Ami woke up to the sun shineing into her eyes. "Seems
like a nice morning," Ami said out loud. She glanced
at the clock on the night stand. "12:13... or a nice
afternoon. Whatever." Ami crawled out the bed and went
to the restroom to freshen up a little. As she exited
the bathroom, she could smell pancakes. Ami smiled and
walked to the kitchen, still in her pjs. It didn't
bother her nor the other girls to walk around in their
night clothes. They had grown so close these past few
years, they could walk around butt naked and no one
would care.
She leaned on the door frame and smiled at the picture
before her. Lita stood at the stove, flipping a
pancake, in her deep emerald green pjs, brown hair in
a loose, messy ponytail. She looked beautiful in Ami's
eyes.
Lita looked up and saw Ami in the doorway and smiled.
"Mornin', Ames. Hungry?"
"Good morning, Miss Kino,"they both smiled. "Yes,
thank you." Ami helped Lita set up the table for
breakfast and then they sat in respectful silence
during breakfast.
After they both finished eating, they went to greet
the girls, one at a time since their flights arrived
at different times, so each time the girls would meet
the other.
After all the girls arrived, they hung out at Lita's
apartment for a while. Lita made dinner(which Serena
ate most of) and said their goodbyes. They needed to
get home and rest because of the jet lag.
After the girls left and it was just Ami and Lita, the
duo decided to clean the apartment. The others had
offered to help, but they were so tired, they sent
them home. Lita cleaned the livingroom while Ami did
the dishes.
As Lita finished cleaning her assigned room, she heard
the voice of angel singing in the next. Lita put the
vacuum back into the closet and walked into the
kitchen to see Ami washing dishes and singing to a
song on the radio. Lita smiled. She recognized the
song, it seemed to fit her mood at the moment.
Unfortunatley, she began to listen in on the second
verse.
"I don't mind living in a fantasy world
I know how it feels to be your girl
And hear you say the sweetest things soft and low
I never want to wake up and let you go, no..."
Lita smiled even more. Ami had such a pretty singing
voice that, if she wasn't so shy, could make a
wonderful singer. Lita decided to sing along with Ami.
"When I close my eyes
You are by my side
And I can picture us together
Everynight I pray there will be a way
We can make it last forever..."
When Lita began to sing, she startled Ami. But, both
smiled as Lita jumped up on the counter to sit and
sing. Ami finished the dishes and the girls continued
to sing. This time, together...
"I dream I'm dancing with you
And I can really move
I dream you're kissing me
And I can really feel it
I dream I'm dancing with you
Until we lose control
I dream you're loving me
With all your heart and soul..."
The girls locked eyes as they sung the next verse...
"Someday soon I'm gonna make this dream come true
I can't deny that I'm so into you
I want you so that I forget to breathe air
The feeling grows so strong... I believe..."
Lita jumped down from the counter and walked up to
Ami, their eyes still lost in one another. The girls
were singing to each other, whether the other knew it
or not...
"Can you feel it, tell me can you feel it?
Can you feel it, tell me can you feel it?
It's real..."
Lita, being bold on her part, took Ami's hand and
began dancing with her. Ami laughed but her face was
beet red.The girls continued to sing together...
"Every night I pray
I will find a way
To make it last forever
I dream I'm dancing with you
And I can really move
I dream you're kissing me
And I can really feel it
I dream I'm dancing with you
Until we lose control
I dream you're loving me
With all your heart and soul
I dream I'm dancing with you
And I can really move
I dream you're kissing me
And I can really feel it
I dream I'm dancing with you
And I can really move
I dream you're kissing me
And I can really feel it
I dream I'm dancing with you
Until we lose control
I dream you're loving me
With all your heart and soul..."
The girls laughed as Lita swung Ami around. As the
chorus began to fade, Lita walked up to Ami as her
back pushed up against the sink. Lita smiled and Ami
blushed. Lita lowered her head...
...almost...
....there....
BEEP!! BEEP!! BEEP!!
The girls snapped out of their trance and looked into
the living room. They looked back at each other again
before Lita left to see what was beeping with Ami
close behind.
When the reached the living room they discovered it
Lita's comunicator going off. Lita picked it up and
answered it.
"Jupiter here. Whats up?"
"Yoma in the park." It was Mars. "It looks like a wolf
type gargoyle, white. It keeps demanding we hand over
Mercury and it will leave. You two need to get here
fast!" It faded out as Lita and Ami looked at each
other and nodded. They knew what to do.
"JUPITER STAR POWER!!"
"MERCURY STAR POWER!!"
(the park)
"MARS... FIRE...IGNITE," Mars yelled, but Blaze dodged
the attack.
"Come now Mars. Is this the best you can do," Blaze
smirked. "You fought better a thousand years ago.
You've lost your edge."
"Oh, yeah," Mars demaneded.
"Please, Mars. I do not wish to fight you. I only want
Mercury," Blaxe stated.
"Why," Venus asked.
Blaze became angered. But before he could say
anything, another voice joined in:
"Because the Mercurians killed his people." It was
Mercury. Her Jupiter came out from the shadows and
Mercury continued. "And your next," she said, pointing
at him.
Blaze laughed. "I am? Well, then, Miss Princess of
Mercury. If I'm next, then it should be only right you
do it. After all, it was you that killed my people
anyway." His voice became low and full of hatered.
"You should always finish what you start."
"Lets go," Mercury said. She began to advance him, but
Jupiter stopped her.
"We fight him as a team, Mercury," Jupiter told her.
Mercury shook her head.
"Only I can do it. This is the third time he's made an
advance in trying to kill me. It will be the last."
Mercury looked at Jupiter. She knew if the scout let
her fight alone, he'd kill her. But, it was something
she felt she had to do to protect Jupiter. She could
not let that nightmare come true. Jupiter tried to
stop her, but Blaze had other palns.
With a wave of his hand, he knocked the other scouts
away from him and Mercury. A form of forcefeild made a
fighting arena for the two to battle in. "Come now,
Mercury. You're not scared now are you?" Blaze taunted
her.
Jupiter jumped up from the ground and began to beat
the invisable wall. "You let her go you son of a
bitch! NOW!!" Jupiter began tring to get through by
running into the wall. It didn't work. "Mercury!!"
Jupiter had tears in her eyes, but refused to let them
fall. She couldn't lose the only one she ever truely
loved.
Mercury looked over her shoulder to see Jupiter
banging on the wall. She swallowed the lump in her
throat and turned back to face Blaze. If she had
continued to look at Jupiter, she would began to cry.
"Ready," he asked. She nodded. "Lets go." Blaze jupmed
up and pounced Mercury. But, he missed.
Mercury quickly stood and shouted her attack: "SHINE
AQUA ILLUSION!" The stream of ice water shot at Blaze,
hitting his shoulder and staining his white fur red.
This angered him.
"You wanna play rough? Then, let's see how you deal
witht his." He again advanced her. He knew she would
dodge, so he was ready. As he landed from the missed
attack, he swung his taloned hand around and hit
Mercury's right shoulder. She fell against the wall
and stood there for a second.
Jupiter ran behind her and began to scream again.
"Mercury! You bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
"You can't even get in here, Jupiter. So don't make
threats," Blaze said.
Mercury began to slip to the ground. Something was
wrong with er other than her shoulder being hurt.
Jupiter slid down with her, although she was on the
other side. Mercury still had her back against the
wall. She looked over her shoulder and lost herself in
Lita's deep emerald eyes. Mercury began to cry. She
was going to die without ever telling Jupiter how she
felt about her.
Mercury heard a growl in front of her and turned to
face Blaze. He stood above her with his talons ready
to strike. "PREPARE TO DIE, MERCURY!!"
"NO!!" Something hit Blaze from behind and he turned
to face who had struck him.
"Seijuurou," Blaze growled. "How did you get in here?"
Sei was in his gargoyle form, and still shorter than
Blaze. "When you make a forcefeild, make sure you
close the top of it, retard." This angered Blaze.
"INFEDEL! You will pay," Blaze shouted. He formed a
fireball in his hands and shot it at Sei. He dodged it
and it hit the wall. "NO!"
Sei smiled. When Blaze's fireball hit the wall, it
vanished. Giving the scouts the ability to attack.
"You should have known better," Seijuurou said.
Mercury fell back into Jupiter's arm as the wall
vanished. All around her, Mercury could hear the fight
continuing. She could also hear a voice but couldn't
place it.
"Mercury! Ami, please..." Jupiter hugged Mercury
close. Seijuurou walked up to the two.
"Jupiter?" She looked up at him. "You have to help
fight. Your thunder attacks are the only thing that
can weaken him enough to kill him now that Mercury is
hurt." Jupiter didn't want to leave Mercury. "I'll
keep her safe, I promise," he reassured Jupiter. He
kneeled down to take Mercury in his arms as Jupiter
got up to fight.
Jupiter slowly approached the battle, tears running
down her face. She didn't want to kill Blaze. She
first wanted him to slowly suffer for what he had done
to Ami.
As she came closer to the battle, Blaze was scared.
"You will die for even touching her," Jupiter nearly
screamed. She scared even the scouts with her tone.
"SPARKLING WIDE PRESSURE!!" The lighting went for
Blaze's chest and struck him hard. He hit a tree and
fell to he ground. Sailor Moon was about to dust him
when Jupiter stopped her. "Not yet."
She walked up to him as he stood to face her, useing
the tree for support. He was a foot taller than
Jupiter, but she looked at him like he was a five year
old. Jupiter drew back her fist and it landed in his
face.
She continued to punch him, even when he fell to the
ground. She swore, kicked, and punched him. When he
fell, Jupiter sat on him and began to punch his face.
After about five minutes of yelling at her, Tuxedo
Mask finallywent and picked Jupiter up off of him.
Sailor Moon dusted Blaze and the others went to join
Mercury and Sei. But, what they saw surprised them
all.
(during the battle)
"Mercury? Ami, are you ok? What happened," Sei asked.
Mercury became very pale in the last five minutes or
so and he was very worried.
"Blaze cut me with his talons and I began to feel like
I was going to pass out," Mercury said while trying
not to fall asleep. "What's wrong with me Bryce?" She
sounded so scared.
"Where did he cut you," Sei asked concerned. Mercury
raised her right shoulder and cried out in pain. Sei
looked at it and saw a purlpe line going from the cut
on her arm to her chest. "Oh no..."
"What," Mercury asked.
"I ned to tak you to my world. You'll die if I don't.
He's poisined you, and if the line reaches your heart,
it will stop. I have medicine to cure you in my
world." Mercury nodded her understanding.
Slowly Sei picked her up. She cried out again as he
accidently hit her shoulder. Her crying out made
Jupiter turn around. She saw that black gargoyle oick
Ami up and jump through a portal.
"NO!" Jupiter ran towards him put couldn't get there
in time. But, she was able to jump throught the portal
before it closed. The others weren't so lucky.
As Sei enetered the portal, his wings caught an up
draft and he flew above a darkened castle. Mercury
didn't notice she was so out of it.
When Jupiter came through, she fell about five feet
onto a flieght of stairs and rolled about half way.
Luckily, she wasn't hurt too bad. She looked up and
saw a shadowd form and knew it was the gargoyle. She
ran into the direction she saw him enter the castle...
Sei swopped into a window in the castle. From the look
of it, it looked like a laboratory. Next to a table
was a bed that Sei placed Mercury on. Actaully, now it
was Ami. She had gottne so weak, she could no longer
hold her scout form. He went back into the lab and Ami
could hear glass clanking in the dark.
"Take off you shirt, Ami," He told her.
"Excuse me," she asked.
"I need to one: give you a needle that has the cure in
it, and two: I need to bandage your wound. You can
leave you bra on," he told her.
"I'm too weak Bryce. I can hardly move," Ami
whispered.
"Alright." He sat the needle down and unbuttoned Ami's
shirt. Instead of takeing the whole thing off, he onlt
removed the right side and slide Ami's bra strap down.
He injected her with the cure and bandaged her wound.
With in minutes, Ami began to feel better. But, she
was still weak.
Seijuurou kneeled next to her and smiled. "Feel
better," he asked.
"Yes, thank you." The peace was shattered when Jupiter
busted through the door.
"You lied," she yelled. "You said you'd protect her!"
Sei looked at her, "I did. I just saved her life."
But, Jupiter was still upset from nearly loseing Ami
once that night, she was angered to watch him bring
Ami here.
Jupiter used an attack that Sei dodged, barely. It hit
the wall and a huge hole appeared.
"Jupiter stop," Ami said. "He brought me here to save
me."
"He should have said something, "Jupiter said
chargeing Sei. He jumped out of the hole before
Jupiter could get him. But, she soon followed him.
"No, Jupiter, STOP!" Jupiter would't listen. Gathering
what little streangth she had, Ami replaced her shirt
and fell out of the bed with a thud. She crawled to
the hole and looked down andto her horror began to see
her dream again. This time, it was real.
She jupmed out of the castle, but her landing was less
than perfect. She looked ahead to see two of her
friends fight one another on a landing high above the
castle. "It was Bryce, " Ami siad out loud, standing
up. "He's the one from my dreams." Then the last scene
from the nightmare flashed in her mind. "Oh, no..."
She took off up the stairs as fast as she could.
When she reached the top, she saw Jupiter throw a
punch at Sei but he stopped her. He knocked her hand
out of the way and grabbed her throat and held her
over the side. Ami fell to her knees watching this
take place.
His eyes glowing a deathly white, he growled, "you
should pay for putting Ami through all this pain!"
"Bryce, no!" Ami yelled. "Put her down, please," she
pleaded.
"Why should I? She's the one causing you so much pain.
The one that makes you cry yourself to sleep
everynight," Seijuurou said.
Ami hung her head, "but I love her, Bryce." She looked
up at Sei whose eyes had stopped glowing. "Bryce,
please put her down." Tears were now running down
Ami's face.
He looked at ht e girl he loved so much crying over
the girl she loved. Sei looked back to Jupiter who had
a shocked look on her face. He growled, tightned his
grip for a second before turning and dropping her on
the ground. Again, his heart had been broken. He waved
his hand and a portal opened.
"Go home, Ami," he said. Ami looked at him as he
jupmed off the castle and flew away.
Ami stood and walked past Jupiter who was still on the
ground. Ami stopped and looked her before going
through the portal.
When they entered the portal, they were back in the
park. They came through behind the scouts. The girls
turned to see Ami and Jupiter. Both looked really
tired. Jupiter nodded to let the others know they were
alright.
"Ami," Jupiter started.
"I don't wanna talk about it, Lita," Ami said. She
began to walk away from her when she grabbed her arm.
"Ami..."
Tears streaming down her face, Ami pushed Jupiter and
began to run from her. Jupiter regained her balance
and took off after her. "AMI!!" Come back!" But she
was too late. Ami ran until she was lost in the
shadows of the night.
"Ami, "Jupiter said. "I love you, too..."
