SailorStar9: After getting the prologue out, this is Chapter 1 of this fic which takes place during episode 14 of the anime. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.
Chapter 1: The Brainiacs Meet
"A favour?" Ami echoed once Aikawa informed her of his appointment with Moritaka Mai the next day.
"Yup," Aikawa nodded. "She wants to help her pick a pair of basketball shoes."
"Right…" Ami trailed, unconvinced. "Are you sure it isn't a date?"
"What do you mean?" Aikawa splattered.
"Nothing." Ami suddenly found the ceiling very interesting. He can't be really that dense, can he? Then again, Kazu-nii doesn't have much experience with girls.
"I'm off!" Aikawa declared and headed out the following morning.
"Be careful!" Ami warned.
"I will." Aikawa assured. "I'll leave the spare key under the mat."
"Thanks." Ami shouted.
"Is this seat taken?" a voice cut off Ami's concentration.
"No." Ami blinked, looking up.
"Thanks." Miura smiled, taking the seat beside her.
Hm? Miura wondered, tilting his head to look over at his azure-haired deskmate who had silently gotten up from her seat. His eyes followed the teen as she headed over to the bookshelves, a stack of books in her hands.
Ami had to stand on tiptoes to put back the last book on the top shelves when her eyes widened as the book started to slip.
"Careful." Miura cautioned, a hand steadying the book and sliding it back. "You aren't from around here, are you?" he asked. At her confused blink, he chuckled, "It's kinda of obvious; it's easy taking the books off the shelves, but putting them back is a different story."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
