Hello, this is Thalia here with a new work.
All of my previous works have had happy endings. This one, however, does not. That's because this
work is different from my others in the sense that it's partially biographical. I'm writing this in honor
of two of my friends, one of whom met a tragic, untimely end last November, killed by a drunk driver.
This work is dedicated to the other friend, his girlfriend, who is one of the smartest, strongest and
most caring people I will ever have the honor of knowing.
I'm using Sailor Moon characters to represent the different people in this story, but the events, and
the personalities of the characters, have a basis in reality.
Okay, that's enough for the author's notes. The characters do not belong to me. This we all know.
Now, moving onwards......

20 November 2001
Ami Mizuno sat in her dorm room by her desk. The usually immaculate surface was trashed; littered
with ever-increasing amounts of crumpled tissues. A bowl of cold, forgotten ramen sat on her lap. A
teardrop, followed by another, and another, and another, dripped into it, and once again, she found
herself crying bitterly, heartbrokenly, shoulders shaking and lips quivering. It was yesterday that her
whole world had crumbled around her like glass towers during an earthquake.
At that moment, the phone rang. Ami, staring off at her blank computer screen with unseeing eyes,
did not even notice until her roommate gently shoved the receiver into her hands, with a sad smile.
"Ami, it's your friend Rei." Ami numbly took the phone from the hands of June, her roommate, and
held it to her ear.
"Rei..." Her usually calm, cool voice sounded choked and verging on hysterical to her own ears. "He's
dead. He's dead! DEAD! Why, Rei?" The blue-haired genius, who usually had an answer to everything,
found herself asking that unanswerable question to her friend. Rei had no answers for her, as she too
cried with and for her stricken friend. All Rei could do was to offer broken words of sympathy to Ami,
and cry with her.
"You know, Rei, no one turned off his screen name on AOL instant messenger...it's still on...his away
message says 'leave me a message, I'll be back soon.'! But he's never going to be back...never...his
away message lies..." Ami said chokingly to her friend. "And...and I have so many things that I never
said to him...that I will never have a chance to say to him now..."
"Oh Ami, I'm so sorry...I know how fucking unfair this is...but you need to try to be strong, for his
sake...and as for all those things you never told him, I think he knows them anyways...that's what
love is all about, isn't it?" The usually fierce, fearless Rei was crying too, as much for the girl who
was left living as for the boy who had died. In the instant that a drunk driver had plowed into the car
Zoisite was riding the previous day, killing him and injuring the others inside, Ami had lost not only a
lover, but her closest friend.

Short prologue, but there's more coming. *sob* *sniffle*
REVIEW!! And people, if anyone DARES to flame me about how they don't like me "killing off" Zoisite,
I will hunt them down and KILL THEM!! Again, as stated in the A/N on top, this is based on real life
events, down to the dates. So, for the sake of my friend, who is the basis for Ami in this story, and
also for the sake of her deceased boyfriend, who is the basis for Zoisite, BE VERY RESPECTFUL in
your comments!!!
Okay, now, that being said, send me mucho reviews...
