Specifically my story, "Love and Justice Forever"
(the date below is the one corresponding to the story)
**************************************
Current Date: March 7, 2000
Location: Tokyo, Japan. The first dimension.
**************************************
Goku sat in Tokyo Park, catching his breath from all
the training he had been doing. Everyone else was out at
school, and he had free time until this afternoon when he
had promised to come to the regional swimming competition.
Until then he had decided to train, only now taking a
break. He knew this new enemy of the senshi's would be
difficult to beat. But something else troubled him, she
knew who he was. And yet he had never met Kuroi Mamono
before. He had never fought her before, and he had never
even heard the name mentioned before. Kuroi had also seemed
to presume this Sailor Moon character was dead as well.
Well wouldn't she be in for a surprise if she's still alive
when Sailor Moon got back. Which led to another question.
If she was still alive then, should Goku stay? It would
only mean a little extra time, but he missed his family and
friends already.
Gently he shrugged the thought off, his break was
over.
****
Makoto sighed in resignation as she stared at the
latest test results. She hadn't failed but compared to Ami-
chan she might as well have.
Speaking of whom, Ami and Silia were headed her way.
"Hey Ami-chan! Sil-chan! Over here!" she exclaimed;
the two naturally blue haired girls came over happily.
Glancing at their scores on the way; Ami smiled, her mark
was perfect on this test, something she had been very
worried about. Silia though, sighed, "Kon'wa Mako-chan."
"Kon'wa Silia-chan, Ami-chan. I see you both did
better then I." responded Makoto sweetly.
Silia giggled, "Well with Ami-chan it's a given. I'm
just lucky it was mainly on creatures of the ocean,
otherwise I would be down there with you Mako-chan." Makoto
sighed defeat as Silia continued, "It's so wonderful to see
my last name.." she said wistfully. Makoto looked again and
sure enough the usual Silia was now replaced with Ameno
Silia.
Ami smiled, "Ameno? It's too perfect, 'of rain'."
Makoto nodded in agreement, "It's a good choice."
Silia blushed happily but changed the subject as her
eyes feel upon the second place name. "I wonder who that is
that came between me and Ami-chan, I've never heard of her
before."
Ami read the name softly "Chikyuno Kiji, she must be
new here, I've never heard the name before."
Makoto rubbed her chin thoughtfully; "Maybe we should
introduce ourselves. It does, after all, seem that every
new student here is from the Negaverse. And if she looks
anything like that Kuroi Mamono I'll give her what for!"
Ami put a hand on Makoto's now clenched fists, "Mako-
chan, even if she does we might want to keep it a secret, it
would give us a distinct advantage."
Makoto sighed and nodded, "You're right Ami-chan.
Let's go see if we can track her down before lunch break is
over."
*
Fifteen minutes later the three girls stood outside
looking at a quiet young girl. They had gotten her
description from a sensei and she looked nothing like
Mamono.
"We should introduce ourselves anyway." Said Ami, "She
could make for a good study partner."
Mako shrugged, "So long as she's not out to kill you
so that she can be the smartest in the school!"
Ami laughed, "If she's that serious I'll stay away
from her, don't you worry."
They were about to step up to the girl when Makoto
stopped, placing a hand on Silia's shoulder, "Silia-chan
daijobu?"
Silia shook her head as if waking from a dream. "Hai
Mako-chan, I'm fine." She said reassuringly. Makoto wasn't
entirely convinced but she let the girl be.
The trio stepped up to Kiji, Ami cleared her throat
slightly, "Chikyuno Kiji?" The young girl looked up from
her book. Her hazel eyes confused suddenly, "Hai. Who are
you?"
Ami smiled, "Mizuno Ami, and these are my friends,
Ameno Silia and Kino Makoto."
Kiji nodded, "Kon'wa. Did you have a reason for
talking to me?" she asked, concise and straight to the
point. She stood, brushing the dirt off her skirt. As she
stood the girls realized the girl was rather tall but not
towering like Mako-chan. She seemed about 5'7", with long
brown hair that fell to her toes done up in a long ponytail,
one tight elastic at the top, and several loose ones hanging
all the way down. Her eyes were also brown and her ears
were pierced but at the moment she wore no jewelry.
Makoto smiled, "Well we noticed your name on the test
scores and realized you were new here. We thought you might
like a friend."
Kiji seemed to study them for a moment, "I don't know,
I've never been very good with friends. I'm sure it would
only end in disaster. But thanks for the offer."
"If that's the way you want it ok. But if you ever
feel you need a friend we'll be here for you." Said Silia a
touch of regret in her voice.
A flicker of emotion flew across Kiji's face and then
suddenly disappeared again. She stared at Silia for a
moment before bending down to pick up her book and her
lunch. "Arigato, but I've gone through most of my life
alone. I can handle it." She said quietly. And with that
the young woman picked up her books, turned and left.
Silia followed her with her eyes until the she was out
of sight.
"Strange girl." Said Ami slowly, "But I bet when Usagi
gets back she'll give her a hard time about refusing
friendship!"
Makoto nodded in agreement, "Hai."
"I think maybe we should keep an eye on her." Said
Silia, "I don't think she's evil at all. But there's
something about that girl. Plus it can't be to healthy to
live your life friendless!"
The girls nodded in agreement, having had some
firsthand experience at that. The bell sounded and the trio
re-entered the school. Right now there might not be much
they could do for Kiji, but they would figure something out
eventually.
***
Ami and Silia sat in the locker room of the local pool
after school that day. Today was the regional swimming
championships and while Ami was just in the contest for fun
Silia was determined to win.
"-But that doesn't mean you go easy on me Ami-chan!"
exclaimed Silia, "If I win I want to win fairly."
"Of course Silia-chan. I wish you good luck, but most
of the other girls we'll be swimming against will be up to 4
years older then us. I don't know how much of a chance we
stand."
Silia threw a T-shirt over her black and blue bathing
suit and put on her racing cap. "Well I'm still determined
to win this! I've been training hard! Of course I do tend
to get pulled out of my practicing for youma attacks but I
still try."
Ami smiled slinging her towel over her shoulder, and
taking a peak in the mirror to see her light blue, wave
design bathing suit fitting her curves snugly. "Well the
girls, Mamoru and Goku will be there to cheer us on."
Silia grinned, "Oh gee that helps my confidence, all
my friends will be there for me to potentially embarrass
myself in front of."
Ami sighed, "Come on you, the race is about to start."
*
The two girls got up on their starting blocks, waving
to their friends, as the announcer called out the racer's
names. Ami was in row number 1 and Silia number 3. Their
names were the first called out, receiving a clamorous cheer
from their friends. Ami blushed and Silia was trying to
relax; the others names were called out finishing with
number 8.
"And in racing lane number 8, last years champion
Kaiou Michiru." The announcer's voice blared, "This is
Kaiou-sama's last year and she may have a bit of trouble
this year with the champion from the junior team last year
Mizuno-sama to give her a run for the money. And don't
forget that new face to the team, Ameno-sama. There's a lot
of good word going around for her." Silia beamed this
was the first time she had heard her last name announced and
it sounded so beautiful in her ears.
But more distracting at the moment was the swimmer in
lane 8. Ami, Silia and the girl's friends stared at
Michiru, they had all thought the intrepid Sailor Neptune
had disappeared along with the other outers on another one
of their secret missions.
Ami shook her head, no time to think about that now.
The announcer finished his bit about all the contestants.
"The first contestant to accomplish 4 laps wins! And now
the Woman's Junior Regional Free-style Championship Swimming
Competition begins at the sound of the gun!"
A woman off by Michiru started yelling at the top of
her lungs, "On your marks! Get set!" BANG!! The starter
pistol went off and the swimmers took off into the race.
Silia sprang into the water gracefully and started
swimming as fast as she could, the water rushing past her
lithe body. Her mind in a peaceful calm, becoming one with
the cool, satiny, water.
*
Rei, Minako, Makoto, Mamoru and Goku along with Luna
and Artemis sat in the bleachers around the pool screaming
their lungs out for their friends.
Nearby Haruka, Hotaru and Setsuna stood, hiding from
the inner senshi's prying eyes.
The announcer was continually blaring the current
status. "Kaiou has hit the second lap mark with Mizuno and
Ameno close behind."
The roar in the stands grew as Ami and Silia were
mentioned, suddenly Silia sped up.
"And into the last lap Ameno seems to be showing that
she wasn't going her fastest after all!"
Silia's form made its way to the finish with
extraordinary speed. She hit the edge a good quarter lap
before Micharu and Ami who touched at the exact same time.
"The Winner! Ameno Silia! What a sweeping finish for
the newcomer, with Mizuno Ami and Kaiou Michiru both coming
in for a second place tie, and in third-"
Ignoring the announcer the girls screamed in joy and
ran down from the bleachers to pelt their friends with hugs
and congratulations. Silia was stunned, "I won?" she asked
herself in shock, not even feeling her friend's
congratulatory assault.
As she stood on the podium to receive her award tears
glittered in her eyes, tears of happiness and joy. All her
work, long hours, and natural need to swim. It all came
down to this final moment and she had done it! She WON!
Her fear of being embarrassed didn't even seem strong enough
to overcome her joy and sudden need to jump for joy.
Surrounded by friends who were proud of her win.
Suddenly the loss of her past, the horrible memories of her
evil life, they meant nothing at all. This was her life,
with her friends, doing what her heart desired.
Minako was the first to say anything comprehensible,
"PARTY TIME!!!!!!!"
*********
The group skipped through the streets of Tokyo, Silia
jumping for joy up front and the girls dragging Ami trying
to keep her from running away.
Mamoru was a tad embarrassed but he had promised the
girls he would celebrate if they won. And Goku, well Goku
was happy, happy that the girls were cheered up from the
last battle. But he was also very wary; the way things
seemed to happen, this would be the time Mamono would choose
to attack.
But the group made it interruption free to arcade
café, nothing big or fancy but for the girls who spent a lot
of time there it meant a lot.
"Silia that was sooo awesome!" exclaimed Makoto
happily.
Minako took a sip of her milkshake, "And Ami-chan!
Second! You actually tied with Michiru-sama, that's so
wonderful."
Ami blushed a deeper red, "Well I have been practicing
a little."
Silia pointed a finger at Ami! "Ah ha! I knew it you
little minx! I knew you were practicing!"
"Yes but I haven't been practicing nearly as much as
you. You deserve it."
The girls continued chatting happily and ordering
drinks when Mamoru went over to the counter to sit with
Motoki, the fair-haired boy was busy passing out drinks but
he still had time to talk to Mamoru.
"Kon'wa Mamoru-kun, how's it going?"
Mamoru shrugged, "Ok I guess." He said quietly, Motoki
didn't know where Usagi really was, in fact no one knew.
But he knew Mamoru missed her dearly and at least the prince
could talk about that. "Motoki-kun, have you talked with
Osaka Naru lately?"
Motoki pursed his lips, "No. She's been taking
Usagi's disappearance almost as badly as you."
Mamoru nodded, he didn't know why he had asked, and
maybe it was because Usako would not have wanted her to be
so upset. Though he couldn't tell her anything, he felt he
needed to ask.
Motoki looked gazed over at the girls, "At least you
all started having fun again," he mused, "So who won the
race?"
Mamoru smiled slightly, "Silia, Ami tied for second
though."
Motoki grinned, "Well that's really good, I bet she's
feeling on top of the world right now." Gradually the young
man's eyes caught sight of Goku who was shoveling away food at
an enormous rate. "Hey Mamoru-kun, who's the guy with the
appetite over there?"
Mamoru shook his head, "Son Goku, he's an acquaintance
of mine, just staying for a few months." He lied easily;
well it was sort of true.
Goku heard his name mentioned and crawled his way over
the happy girls to sit beside Mamoru.
"Hey there Mamoru-kun!" he exclaimed happily, ordering
another set of fries from Motoki.
"Hey Goku. Oh Goku this is my friend best friend
Furhawa Motoki."
Goku smiled and extended his hand swallowing the last
of his fries, "Nice to meet you Furhawa-san."
"Motoki, please." Answer Motoki, politely shaking
Goku's hand. "So Goku what-"
Abruptly Motoki was cut off as Rei gave a surprised
shriek and everyone turned to look at her, "Minako no baka!"
she cried, milkshake spilt all over her pink overalls, "look
what you've done to my clothes!"
Minako slunk away, "Gomen nasai Rei-chan, it was an
accident!"
"I'll show you an accident!" exclaimed Rei grabbing a
nearby Sunday and hurling it in Minako's face.
The blond just stood there shocked, along with
everyone else, slowly she wiped the ice-cream off and her
eyes became mischievous, "Well miss over-reactor, see how
you like this!" she cupped some of Silia's celebratory cake
in her hands and launched it at the young priestess! But
this time Rei was ready and she ducked quickly, the result
being the cake splattering all over Makoto's chest since she
had been standing.
Makoto looked murderously at the two quarrelers for a
moment and then an evil grin spread across her face, "FOOD
FIGHT!" she exclaimed, and the next moment food and drink
was flying everywhere.
*
Ami ducked under the table and crawled her way out of
the building. Her friends may enjoy that but she was all
ready covered in various food items and she had no wish to
be covered further.
She made it outside and let out a whoosh of air.
Moments later Mamoru came barreling outside, obviously also
in an attempt to escape.
Ami smiled, "A little to much for you?"
Mamoru pulled a soggy fry out of his hair, "A little."
he admitted, "Motoki's hiding behind the counter."
Ami giggled, "Well I hope he's safe there." she
checked her watch, "I should go, I have a lot of studying to
do. Summer's coming up but that means so are the final
exams. Can't be unprepared for those."
Mamoru nodded understandingly, a far away look in his
eyes, thinking of Usagi no doubt. "I'll tell the girls
where you went, I have to wait for Goku anyway."
Ami nodded and waved goodbye, "Kobanwa Mamoru-san!"
she called as she left.
She walked happily but purposefully back home, she had
accomplished a wonderful thing today and it put a certain
spring in her step. She was parading silently but happily
when she saw a flash of light in a nearby ally.
Stopping in her tracks she whipped out her computer as
she ducked into a doorway, this would be a wonderful time
for Mamono to attack indeed. But after a few seconds of
scanning to find no Negaverse energy she took a deep breath
and poked her head around the corner. There, waiting was
Michiru.
The senshi of ice sighed and entered the ally-way.
"Michiru-sama, I take it that light display was designed to
attract my attention?"
Michiru nodded, "I needed to talk to one of you, you
all seemed so shocked to see us at the competition we
thought you might need an explanation."
Ami nodded, she had been wondering what was up,
"Congratulations on your win by the way." she replied
diplomatically.
The older senshi tucked a loose strand of hair behind
her ear, "Arigato, I congratulate you as well. And tell
Silia she should be proud."
"She is." replied Ami, "So what mysterious business
are the outers on now?"
Michiru shook her head, "can't tell you that, not yet.
But don't worry, I believe that by the time this is all over
our paths will cross again."
Ami raised an eyebrow, Michiru continued, "This is big
Ami, make no mistake of that. It goes all the way back to
the Silver Millennium." she said gravely, "The others are
getting restless with the princess's disappearance. But
Hotaru and I felt you should know that if things get really
bad we will be there. We just have other priorities at the
moment."
Ami tilted her head in thanks, it was more then she
had expected to get from the outer senshi. "Arigato
Michiru, I will pass the message on to the others."
Michiru smiled, "Good luck Ami." she said with a
smiled and walked off in the opposite direction, "And don't
worry about contacting us, we've got Pluto!"
Ami shook her head as the elder woman disappeared
around a corner, "well that was certainly interesting."
****
Mamoru was casually leaning against the wall when Goku
came literally flying out from the food fight completely
unscathed.
Mamoru gawked, not a piece of food or drink on him.
Goku laughed, "Well I'd say that was a good training
exercise."
"How did you stay in there for that long without
getting food on you?" asked Mamoru, thoroughly confused.
Goku grinned, "I suppose the battles where I come from
are a lot faster. I've kinda worked on the speed a lot.
Mamoru nodded, "well that could come in handy." He
voiced.
Goku tilted his head to his side, "You know maybe I
could help you guys increase your speed and whatnot. I mean
I could use a sparring partner and you and the girls may be
in for trouble. Especially since this woman seemed to know
me."
"Well I'll have to run it past the girls." Said
Mamoru, "So you ready to head back now?"
"Sure why not? I'm kinda hungry actually." Answered
Goku, a grin plastered on his face.
"Sure just don't eat me out of house and home ok
Goku?" responded Mamoru a little nervously. Goku just
smiled, leaving poor Mamoru more than a little nervous.
*****
Mamono floated silently in what, to all outward
appearances, seemed to be a void. Her ruby eyes glinting
with anger, her mouth set in an evil frown. "Are you ready
yet?" she snapped viscously.
Behind her two crystalline eyes snapped open, eyes
nearly as red as Mamono's, but not quite. The eyes bobbed
as if the creature was nodding. "Yes master, whenever you
wish."
Mamono pulled a strand of hair out of her eyes and
made a dismissing gesture with her hand. "Yes go, and make
it quick. I want to get this over with."
The eyes bobbed eerily again. "It is done." And
without a noise the bodiless eyes disappeared.
Mamono sighed and rested her chin in her hand. Things
were not as she had anticipated. There may have to be a
change in plans.
****
After about half an hour of dodging food items and
another half an hour of cleaning up their mess, the girls
exited the café laughing hysterically still covered in bits
of food.
Silia wiped some more ice cream off her face. "That
was fun!" She exclaimed happily, not caring that she was
covered in sticky foods.
Minako laughed heartily, "Artemis is going to scold me
so badly when I get home!" she exclaimed, "Oh but it was
worth it."
Rei pouted, "Well I don't know about you but It's
going to take me hours to get cleaned up!"
Makoto slapped Rei on the back of the head playfully,
"You were laughing in there too! Admit it!"
Rei glared at Makoto but said noting.
Silia giggled, "Well I'm not surprised Mamoru-san and
Ami-chan left."
Minako nodded, "Ya, Ami did stay for a while though,
Goku-san too, he-" the blond stopped abruptly as she
realized Rei had fallen behind.
"Rei-chan, Daijobu?" she asked worriedly.
Rei closed her eyes, "I sense something."
Makoto took up a fighting stance, "where?" she
demanded.
Suddenly a shadow detached itself from a wall, "Right
here little girl!" it exclaimed charging Makoto from behind.
"Mako-chan!" screamed Minako, slamming into the
brunette and pushing her out of the way.
The shadow creature just barely missed the two but
turned in for the attack again.
The girls took up fighting positions. They couldn't
transform, then the enemy would know who they were. Only
one hope remained now. Rei pushed the alert on her
communicator, hopefully Ami would make it in time.
**
Ami had just reached her apartment complex when her
communicator started beeping madly. She switched in on and
started heading back the way she had come. "Mercury here,
what's going on?" she asked worriedly.
Nobody answered her eyes attained a slightly panicked
look as she pulled out her computer and started typing
rapidly trying to get a lock on the communicator that had
called her as she ran. After a few seconds the mini-
computer gave an affirmative beep and Ami put it back where
it had come from.
"Don't worry girls, I'm on my way!" she yelled into
her communicator in case anyone could hear her. "Mercury
Crystal Power, MAKE-UP!"
In a flash of blue light Sailor Mercury appeared, and
the petit senshi of water took off towards her friends at an
extreme speed. Praying she wasn't too late.
**
Silia jumped out of the path of the creature once
more, wincing as she felt her wound from before that had
given her little trouble during the competition, nearly re-
open anew, the creatures were very consistent it seemed.
Makoto was now trying her best to fend off their
attacker while Minako and Rei stood on their guard, Rei's
communicator lying on the ground meters away where the
creature had knocked it.
It laughed a deep throaty laugh, and for the first
time since they had encountered the creature it talked,
"Stop trying to fight me!" it exclaimed it's voice deep and
reverberating, "I'm waiting for the Sailor Senshi so why
don't you do some screaming or something ok?"
Makoto growled, "Not into energy sucking this time are
you?"
The creature laughed, "Energy sucking? I would never
lower myself to that level."
"Then what exactly is your goal?" demanded Silia, a
bite in her voice.
The creature paused for a moment as if considering.
Then it shook its head. "Nope, I'm not supposed to tell.
Nice try though."
The girls sighed slightly and the creature grinned
with its red crystalline teeth, "Now scream for me!" it
shrieked as it bore down on Makoto.
The amazon ducked just barely in time and turned to
kick the monster in the ribs. But the shadow was too fast
for the untransformed senshi and it grabbed her leg,
flipping her roughly onto her back. It extended its claws
with a grin. "Goodnight-"
"Shabon, SPRAY!!!!" the creature paused, stunned as
it's vision was obscured by a think mist.
The creature snarled, "What is THIS?!"
Slowly the fog dissipated revealing that the shadow
creature's prey had disappeared and now standing in their
place was Sailor Mercury.
"On behalf of the planet Mercury I will not allow you
to hurt innocent people!" she declared in a loud voice.
The Shadow creature smiled, "Sailor Mercury I presume?
It seems you're all alone with no friends to help you.
Makes my job all the easier!" The creature lunged at
Mercury who dodged only to have the creature whip around and
blast her with a beam of red energy that scraped her leg.
Mercury let out a scream of surprise but thankfully
she wasn't hurt too much. She stood quickly and fired off
an attack, "Mercury Aqua, RHAPSODY!!!" The ice slammed into
the creature sending it reeling backward but not seriously
injuring it.
The creature snarled and shot a blast of fire at
Mercury who didn't have enough time to move when a stream of
water slammed into the attack canceling it out.
"For trying to cause destruction of this beautiful
planet I Sailor Rain Drop will punish you in the name of
Mother Earth!"
Three more figures dropped in behind her, Mars,
Jupiter and Venus.
"Get away from our friend!" they called out in unison.
The shadow creature grinned, "Oh more of you, all the
more fun!" it said happily and backed into a shadowed ally.
The girls stood back to back, now not able to see the
demon, as Mercury switched on her visor to try and track it.
She shook her head in frustration, "I've been
collecting data on the thing but I still can't pick it up!"
Jupiter growled, "Shimatte!" she cursed angrily, "Show
Yourself!!!!"
"I can't even sense the damn thing anymore!" exclaimed
Mars with frustration.
Venus remained mute, scanning the area for any moving
shadows.
Rain Drop narrowed her eyes, "What is it waiting for?"
Without warning Mars threw her head up, "Move!" she
called rolling out of the way as a blast of energy flew at
them from the top.
With Mars's warning they all got out of the way in
time, and they were mad.
"Jupiter, Oak, EVOLUTION!!!" screamed the senshi of
might, launching her furious attack that slammed into the
creature sending it into the open between the five angry
girls.
The demon snarled as the girls wasted no time in
powering up their attacks.
"Mars Flame,"
"Jupiter Oak,"
"Venus Love and Beauty,"
"Mercury Aqua,"
"Gentle"
The shadow demon screamed in rage as it's whole jagged
body started glowing red.
"SNIPER!"
"EVOLUTION!"
"SHOCK!"
"RHAPSODY!"
"RAIN!"
The red energy expanded outwards from the demon just
as the attacks slammed into it. The senshi pressed on with
all the power they possessed and slowly the shadow
creature's energy started to fail. The demon gave one final
cry of rage as the attacks of the senshi overpowered it and
it exploded in a burst of energy.
The senshi were thrown mercilessly backwards, but as
the dust slowly cleared and they realized their victim was
dead the let out a whoop of celebration, completely ignoring
the nicks and cuts they had received.
"And good riddance!" exclaimed Venus happily.
Just then, Rei turned her head and announced that
someone was coming; though it was not evil.
A few seconds later Goku and Tuxedo Mask came running
in.
"What's going on? I sensed something evil." demanded
Goku.
"Sorry guys you're a bit late." said Sailor Mars, her
hands on her hips in irritation.
Goku laughed nervously, "Gomen ne minna, I guess we'll
have to find a faster way to get to the attacks."
"Are you girls ok?" asked Tuxedo Mask.
"Hai Tuxedo Mask." responded Rain Drop,
detransforming.
The rest of the girls and Tuxedo Mask followed suit;
Goku powered down but of course his orange ki, graciously
fixed by Ami, remained.
"Well we did it without you thank you very much!"
exclaimed Rei glaring slightly at Goku, "Now if you'll
excuse me I'm grandpa's going to be wondering where I am.
Sayonara!" With that Rei turned on her heels and left.
Goku shook his head, "What did I do to upset her so
much?" he asked, genuinely confused.
Minako put a hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry about
her. It's either one of two things; you remind her of
Usagi-chan and so she picks on you; or you remind her of
Usagi-chan and she feels awkward, like you're trying to
replace her or something. Those two are really close, she's
never been good at showing her feelings, and you hit a
little too close to home I think."
Makoto blinked and put a hand on Minako's forehead,
"Minako-chan did you just say something intelligent?" she
asked in mock surprise.
The blond pushed Makoto off her, "Funny Mako-chan,
really funny!" she responded, her voice dripping with
sarcasm.
The group laughed happily for a moment before Ami cut
in. "Well minna, I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave now.
Thanks for the wonderful party, and congratulations Silia,
you deserved that win."
"Arigato Ami-chan." responded Silia, blushing
slightly.
Ami smiled softly, "You're welcome Sil-chan. Now I've
got to go study for exams, you three should too!" she paused
and then added extremely hesitantly. "I'm afraid Usagi's
going to have to catch up during the summer... If she wants
to get into Collage..."
The girls and Mamoru were silent. Goku looked as if
he might say something but noticed the tension and stopped
that thought and went on to another. "Well I hope there's
another fight soon, I'm getting bored."
Silia giggled nervously, "If that's what pleases you
Goku-san."
Makoto hung her head and voiced her opinion on the
earlier comment, "Ami-chan, will still have 3 and a half
months left!"
******************
Kon'wa - short for Konichiwa (Hello) Kon'wa is like saying
hi, (I think)
YAY!!!!!!! All done, though I must apologize for the
lateness of this. My computer was kinda broken and while I
