Sapphires
And mustn't forget *Kajino-san/Marie-san and Bunny Meatball/Odango Usagi*! ^^ (hands you both pixie sticks.) Arigato. Now i know for a fact that someone reads these... ^^
And now onto my informal fic!
Her computer lay beside her, as broken as she was. Her tears ran unchecked down her already wet face. The rain beat down on her bobbing shoulders. She sat there, hunched over, her face in her hands, blue-booted toes dangling over a swollen river.
A violin played a melancholy tune, deepening her sorrow. She wasn't sure, but for a second, she thought she felt a breeze, as if something had run past. It ruffled her blue locks, saturated as they were. Blue. Everything was blue. The water, the rain.
The rain distorted the violin's tune, making it fade, then back again. The wind picked up again, temporarily snuffing out the sorrow-laden sound.
A bell rang out, melancholy in its tone. It rang a twelfth time as Ami listened. And for a thirteenth. She sat up straight, eyes wide. Thirteen times for the bell to ring? She was reaching for her watch before it rang.
"Ami-chan, Ami-chan!" It was Usagi.
She pushed those thoughts away. She had failed them all. Because of her, they were all gone.
Even her dreams seemed shattered, plucked out of her ocean of hopes.
Her mother...Usagi-chan...minna...
"Happy birthday."
All gone.
"Ami-chan, Ami-chan!"
Everyone.
The rain stopped, suddenly.
For now.
