A/N: A one-shot based on Ami and Mako. Please review!

Tears spilt down Ami's face as she stared at the photograph in her hand. It was of her, and another girl. The other girl had auburn hair and emerald eyes. She was tall and pale and, in Ami's opinion, beautiful. She was very two-sided: a tomboy who loved fighting and sports, yet a feminine girl who loved flowers and cookery. She was very caring, always sticking up for her friends, and generally the one who took the most damage in the battles against the youma. Her name was Makoto Kino and she was one of the legendary senshi, Sailor Jupiter.
But Sailor Jupiter existed no more…

"Jupiter thunder crash!" yelled the thunder senshi, throwing the thunder ball with all her strength. It hit the barrier around the evil Queen Silver and dissipated into nothing. The shield around the queen grew stronger, however. Queen Silver looked at Jupiter, a cold smile playing on her lips. Though she was beautiful, her personality was ice-cold with evil.
"I see you wish to take me on," she said. "Alright then. But let's watch your friends die first." She raised a hand and aimed at Mercury. A black ball of energy formed in her hand, sparkling with purple flames. She raised it into the air and threw…
"NO!" yelled Jupiter, shoving Mercury out of the way.
The ball hit her…

"She did that to save me," Ami whispered to herself. "She saved me and gave her life instead. Why, Mako-chan?" she sobbed, tears falling onto the photo of them. "It should be me that's dead, not you. You deserve your life; you did not deserve this!"
I did it because I love you.
Ami gasped and whirled around, her tear-stained face looking terrified. Looking at the end of her bed, she saw a girl with auburn hair and emerald eyes…
"Mako-chan!" she gasped. "Is that really you?"
Yes. But I cannot stay for long. I have to move on.
"Take me with you," Ami suddenly blurted.
No, Ami. You have a life to cherish. You have friends who value you. I love you, and I want you to live on and be happy.
"Mako-chan…" Ami choked. "I love you too. I could never live without you. Please, take me with you!"
Ami-chan…
The spirit embraced Ami and pulled her into a hug. The next day, when Ami's mother opened her door to wake her up, she saw her daughter's body lying flat on her bed, cold and still, her expression peaceful.
