Authors Note; Teehee. I am rather giddy about writing this pairing! They're my absoloute favorite out there! Go AmixMako! Anyhoo. Onto the begining chapter, ne?


The clock ticked slowly, mundanely marking the passage between the time when Ami Mizuno had began studying. She read carefully the small printed text paragraphs; rereading them again to be sure she hadn't skipped anything the first time over. With a sigh, she turned the page.

Without warning the telephone rang, breaking the silence. Ami jumped slightly, relaxing as she stood and picked up the receiver. She intertwined her fingers into the long curling wire as she spoke, "Hello, Mizuno residence. Who's calling?"

"Moshi moshi! Hi Ami-chan!" came the loud reply, overly jubilant and bubbly, "It's me, Usagi!"

Ami's lips twitched, feigning a smile, "Hi Usagi-chan. How are you?"

"I'm fine! And you?"

"I'm okay, just…studying." Ami responded, knowing already her friends response.

"Again? You study too much! School…then cram school…don't you do anything besides studying? Oh well…I called to ask you something!"

Ami glanced to the clock, "Mm?"

"Would you like to come over for a sleep over tomorrow? Mako, Mina and Rei are coming! It'd be great if you could come too!"

"Tommorow?" Ami craned her neck to glance at a calendar behind her. All clear. "I'd love to!"

"Great! See you then! And don't stay up to late studying!" Usagi chided playfully, hanging up.

Ami stood with the phone to her ear a few moments longer, her heart a flutter. And she knew why. It had leapt from her chest to her throat the moment she heard that name. Ami jumped as she heard a voice at the end of the line, "If you like to make a call, please hang up and-"She placed the receiver down.

She wearily shuffled back to her seat, sliding down into it with a soft oomph. She glanced back at the book, knowing full well that she wouldn't be able to concentrate now the prospect of tomorrow night.
