BLONDE AMBITION - CHAPTER 1 - Returning The Favor
Minako aino is inside her bedroom, lying on her bed, clutching a teddy bear dressed up as her alter ego, Sailor V. The same teddy bear that was given to her ny the parents of her friend, Ami Mizuno, for taking care of her while they were trying for a reconciliation. Minako looks at a photograph on her nightstand. It's a photo of herself and Ami at the beach. She picks up the photo, takes a closer look, and smiles.
"Darling Ami", Minako softly speaks to herself, as if she was talking to the photo, "I'm so glad you came over and stayes with me that night. I treasured the moment you came into my house, shared dinner with me, watch mecha vids with me, shared a bath together, and sleeping beside me. Just holding you close , hearing you softly breathe as you sleep. What I would give just to relive that precious moment again. Ami, please come back, I'm so deeply attracted to you. Just let me touch you again, feel my hands carress your soft skin, feel your soft lips connect to mine, massage your pretty little belly, and rub those cute feet of yours". She places the photo back on the nightstand, and holds her stuffed toy tightlt, as if she was holding Ami that way.....
Meanwhile, back at the Mizuno house, Ami is in her bedroom, sitting in front of her computer, looking through her information for a term paper she's been working on. In the meantime, Makoto had just finished running the vacuum cleaner through the living room and proceeds to fold the basket of towels sitting by the sofa. But Ami feels distracted, unable to concentrate on anything. She shuts off her computer, and rushes out of her room. Makoto see Ami walking hurriedly out of her room, sensing something wrong.
"Hey, Ami, is something wrong?", wonders Makoto as she continues to fold the towels, "you don't look right."
"Mako-chan", replies a shaken Ami, " there's something I can't seem to get out of my mind".
"What's it about?", asks Makoto, "anything I should know about?"
"It's Minako", answers Ami as she nervously runs her hand through her blue hair, "I swear that when I spent the night with her, and she held me like a teddy bear while I was asleep, she claimed to have said repeatedly Andrew's name, but I swore she was saying my name and not his".
"Now, come on, Ami", doubts Makoto, finishing up the towels, "are you really positive she was saying that? Weren't you like half asleep and your thinking wasn't quite clear at that time?"
"I swear it, Mako-chan", exclaims Ami, "I'm sure she kept saying my name when she hugged me like that!"
"Ok, relax, Ami", concerns Makoto as she takes a sip of Calpis water, "I know Minako can do some really unorthodox things, but I don't think she would do anything that farfetched. I mean for her to have a crush on another girl".
"But have you ever noticed her touchy-feely behavior towards me as of late?", asks Ami.
"You know, come to think of it, both Naru and Rei mentioned something to me about that", says Makoto.
"What did they say, Makoto-chan?", wonders Ami.
"Well, one day after Phys Ed class, as Rei recalls, you were changing and Minako snuck up from behind you, grabbed your breasts, and yelled 'Gotcha' to you", recalls Makoto.
"And I didn't even have my bra on, Makoto!", whines Ami, "And her hands were so cold. It was so embarassing. It was too scared to scream".
"Don't you realize that sometimes girls would sneak up on other girls from behind and playfully grab their breasts, Ami?", asks Makoto.
"Yes, but usually they were either wearing a bra or have an undershirt overneath", exclaims ami, "But my breasts were exposed and Minako just seized the moment. What else was said about Minako?"
"Well, what Naru was telling me, both you and her were waiting for me and Rei, and then Minako and Usagi were walking together to meet with you guys", recalls Makoto, "talk about the blonde leading the blonde".
"In more ways than one", adds Ami.
"well, anyways", continues Makoto, "from what Naru was telling me, Minako comes rushing over to you and gives you a big hug".
"She sures did", exclaims Ami, "I didn't mind Minako giving me a hug, but the problem was that I was still sitting and next thing I knew I found my head cradled between Minako's breasts, and she was rubbing them againest my face. I thought she was going to smother me!"
"I might have just missed that, Ami", says Makoto, "because when me and Rei went over to meet you, Usagi was behind a bush, puking her guts out. We thought she was sick or got food poisoning the other night".
"She was probably revolted by what she saw", scoffs Ami, "when something she sees revolts or disgusts her, she throws up. And poor Naru had to help her up and act as her human crutch and helped her to school. At least she got her appetite back in time for lunch".
"I thought that Rei would seize the opportunity and toment Usagi from here on end", adds Makoto, "but she felt so bad, she left Usagi alone, which is unusual for Rei".
"I'm sure Usagi appreciated Rei for doing that", adds Ami.
"How long has this touchy thingy with Minako's been going on, Ami?", asks Makoto.
"Ever since I stayed over at her house", answers Ami.
"The time she was cradling you in her bed", asks Makoto.
"Yes, yes it was", blushes Ami, "and now I invited her here to spend the night. As a returning the favor of sorts".
"You invited her over tonight?" questions Makoto.
"Yes, I did", nods Ami, "she asked me actually. I couldn't refuse. I know that my mother and her mother are very good friends".
"That wouldn't look good if you refused", says Makoto.
"No, it wouldn't", shudders Ami, "Mako-chan, I'm very scared. I don't know what Minako will do next".
"Ami", assures Makoto, "it's not like she's going to rob the place, or take you hostage, or anything really crazy".
"I don't know", worries Ami, "I just have this feeling of Deja Vu here".
"You mean the other night between us?", asks Makoto.
"Yes, that's right", nods Ami.
"Well if it makes you feel more at ease", offers Makoto, "I could hang around here tonight".
"Oh, could you please", pleads Ami.
"Sure, why not?", chides Makoto, besides, Ken's out of town anyway for a few days, so I won't be able to see him tonight".
"I couldn't thank you enough, Mako-chan", smiles Ami, as she rushes over to hug Makoto.
"Hey, it's no problem, Ami", smiles Makoto as she strokes Ami's hair, "I'll make sure Minako won't step out of line".
"Besides, mother's working late again, tonight, so she'll miss Minako", adds Ami.
"Is there ever a time your mom doesn't have to work really late?", laughs Makoto.
"It's just every 2-3 months, really", smiles Ami, "normally she's done around 6 or 7 at night".
"But at least she comes home to a home cooked meal just about every night", adds Makoto.
"Even if she has to heat it up in the microwave", grins Ami.
"Ok, wanna help me fix dinner?", asks Makoto, "it wouldn't be polite to not offer your guest dinner, especially when it's cooked by me".
"Sure, I would love to", accepts Ami, "let's prepare".
Suddenly, the doorbell rings. "I wonder who could that be? I'll answer it", says Ami as she walks to the front doorto answer it, opens it, and is greeted by Minako carrying an overnight bag and her Sailor V teddy bear.
"Mina-chan?" exclaims Ami, " I didn't expect you for another hour yet".
"I'm sorry I was a little early", grins Minako.
"But we didn't even prepare dinner yet", says Ami.
"That's OK", grins Minako, "maybe you and Makoto could use a little help in the kitchen, if she doesn't mind".
"Uh, I don't mind, really", smiles Ami nervously as Minako walks inside the Mizuno house.
"Mako-chan, Minako's here", Ami calles out to Makoto.
Makoto walks out of the kitchen, wearing an apron, and greets Ami's guest, "Hey, Minako, glad you can make it".
"I'm glad, too", smiles Minako, "I wanted to personally thank Ami's parents for the cool teddy bear. No one has ever gave me something like that before".
"Unfortunately, mother's working late tonight", smiles Ami, "but you'll still be able to catch her tomorrow morning in time for breakfast".
"That sound cool", grins Minako, placing her hand on Ami's shoulder, "and thanks for letting me sleep over tonight". Minako then plants a friendly peck on Ami's cheek. Ami blushes a bit.
"Aw, Ami", smiles Minako, "you are so cute when you blush".
"But then i always tend to blush more times than not", grins Ami nervously, then turns to Makoto, "uh, Mako-chan, is it alright if Minako helps us out with dinner?"
"Sure, why not?", answers Makoto, "I'm sure i'll find her a little something to do for the preparation".
"Great", smiles Minako, "I could even help set up the dinner table".
"Ok, Minako", nods Makoto, "you can help set the table. You know, plates, silverware, napkins, and stuff".
I'm on it", grins Minako, "and I'll check back with you guys to see what else you want me to do".
"So, Ami", Makoto says to Ami, "shall we get started with the cooking?"
"Ah, yes, Mako-chan", agrees Ami, "let's do that", she turns to Minako, "do you know where the dishes and silverware are?"
"Sure do, Ami", grins Minako, "I'll get started", then she slaps Ami playfully on the buttocks as she walks to the kitchen.
"You see what I'm talking about, Mako-chan?" blushes Ami softly.
"It's only a playful slap on the butt, Ami", says Makoto, "no different than a slap on the back".
"But still, I'm going to keep my guard up", says Ami cautiously.
"Ami, you gotta lighten up a bit", wonders Makoto, "maybe helping me fix dinner will lessen up the tension".
"Maybe, you're right", agrees Ami, "shall we get started? I'm ready to help".
"Ready when you are", Makoto nods, as they head for the kitchen to prepare the evening meal.
