Mara and Miyuki are not part of the Senshi Universe but instead characters created by me for this story. I hope you grow to love them like I have.
Suki and Keichi are not part of the Senshi Universe but also characters created by me for this story. I don't like them so neither should you :P

First and foremost I do not own any Sailor Moon character in this Fanfic. The only thing I can lay claim to are any/all characters that I have made up (which will be indicated in the chapters to come).
This Fic was written a few years ago (as you will notice with MOST of my fics) and I had just wanted a good Ami x Makoto story that wasn't 'oh hi, I like you we should do it' in three sentences. I wanted a bit more substance. As it stands this story isn't finished, not yet, but it will be because I can't just leave two of my favorite characters hanging like that!
Things to take note about reading this fic: I like their original Japanese names, some Japanese words are used, I have/will be putting my own personal spin on the Senshi Powers they have (as in, just how MUCH they can do), this is a YURI fic so be prepared for what that will entail, I will be having a few of our beloved Senshi breaking out of their safe zones, and finally - I just love Love.
She couldn't sleep.
Tossing and turning on the couch wasn't going to make it any easier to fall asleep, no matter how many times she tried. A frown made its way to her face as she opened her eyes to look out of the window next to the couch. The moon shone brightly in the clear night sky; making the brown haired girl instantly think of Usagi.
I wonder what everyone is doing, I'm sure it's probably a lot better than me.
A sigh escaped her lips for what seemed like the hundredth time that night as she sat up. She looked at the phone sitting in front of her on the coffee table, debating whether or not she should call Miyuki about what had happened. She knew she should talk to Ami about it, but Ami was sleeping and her own heart was hurting just as much as Ami's had when the song had finished.
"You're so stupid, Makoto. You really blew it, just like you always do." She muttered to herself as she moved to the sliding glass doors of her balcony to lay her forehead against the cool glass.
"What a nice way to start her birthday off as well. So much for the wonderful idea of a romantic slow dance."
Tears of frustration came to Makoto's eyes the more she thought about what had happened. Instead of holding the tears back, instead of being strong, she let her tears fall to the ground. She cried all of the pent up frustration, pain, and sadness that she had ever held in her since the day Suki had broken her heart as she slid down the glass and curled into a ball on the floor.

Ami's eyes instantly opened as she felt that something was not right. She sat up in…
…bed?
She looked at the clock's red digital numbers that told her it was eight in the morning.
How did I get into bed?
The last thing I remember was dancing with…
"Makoto." She breathed horridly and dashed out of the room.
The apartment was dark. A chill ran through her body, as it seemed to be suddenly empty and cold compared to the warmth it always seemed to hold for her. She turned on the small lamp next to her favorite chair to try to erase that empty feeling only to gasp and run instantly to the curled up form of Makoto on the floor.
"Makoto? Makoto? Wake up, please." Ami begged as she gently shook the other girl, not caring about Makoto's wake up habit.
Ami watched with worry as Makoto opened her eyes, and a pang coming to her heart as she saw that Makoto had been crying…hard.
"Ami-chan?" She asked rather groggily as she sat up and rubbed her sore eyes.
"Oh Mako, I'm so sorry!" she gushed as she knocked Makoto over on her back.
"What should you be sorry for? You weren't the one who screwed up." She whispered, turning her face away from Ami who only moved it back to look her in the eyes.
"Iie, you did nothing wrong. That was the most wonderful thing that anyone has ever done for me. I never knew your voice was so beautiful, so passionate." She said, caressing Makoto's face.
"But you started to cry and when I went to talk to you, you had fallen asleep. I was always taught that when someone cries herself to sleep, it's not a good sign."
"It's not, normally. Makoto I'm so sorry, I wasn't sad or upset with you. I was overwhelmed with feelings I've never dreamed of having or thought I could understand, but I do understand. I understand what you meant when you told me you loved me; I felt it, through your words. Those beautiful, beautiful words you sang to me. My heart wants to burst this very second with the emotion I feel, I want to tell you things until I have no more words left. I was overwhelmed with love for you, Makoto." She whispered with a blush but never broke her eye contact with those deep soulful eyes in front of her.
"Really…"
"Hai. All I could do was cry to release that feeling; it was so intense to me."
Makoto's heart sang with joy as she wrapped Ami in her arms and held the smaller girl tightly to her. She hadn't rushed Ami and Ami loved her. A wide smiled crossed Makoto's face as she moved to kiss Ami on the cheek, smiling even wider at the blush she felt.
"I could almost keep kissing you for the simple fact that I love your blush as much as actually kissing you." She giggled at how it caused Ami's blush to deepen.
"Is that so? Are my kisses not sweet enough for you?" a mischievous twinkle coming to the Senshi of ice's eyes.
"Hard to say, I've only kissed your lips twice."
"Would you care to find out?" Ami asked, moving herself over Makoto until all she had to do was purse her lips.
Makoto's senses were on full alert with Ami being so close and on top of her. She had been toying with the idea of making love to Ami, but always shoved it aside. It was too soon for Ami, that if they ever made out, Makoto didn't know if she could stop with just that.
"I would love to but…"
Her sentence was lost as Ami closed the space between them, kissing her tenderly from on top of her. Makoto kissed her tenderly in return for a few moments until she let her tongue gently caress Ami's lips. Ami caught hold of Makoto's bottom lip between her teeth and gently tugged on it, a shiver running down her spine as she heard Makoto's breath catch. The smaller girl suddenly felt strong hands caress and massage her lower back; making that ever-present throb she'd felt for days intensify.
"Mako…" Ami whispered between kisses.
Makoto shivered at the sound of Ami's lust filled voice speaking her name, calling to her and moved her hands either side of Ami's hips to hold her in place as she sat up. Ami made a noise of surprise at the sudden movement but lost her voice when Makoto began nibbling on her neck.
Ami blushed to herself at the feelings she was feeling, the thoughts she was thinking, the things her body wanted…needed from the woman before her.
"Mako…you can…if you want…" Ami whispered.
Makoto pulled back to look into the smoldering blue eyes of Ami and watched as the girl put her hands to the front of her button up shirt.
Dear God, give me strength….
I can't let it happen again…
Please….
"Ami, I would love to, but I think we should wait." Makoto said, watching lust filled eyes dim, causing a pain so real in her chest that she hugged the smaller girl to her.
"Wait…?"
Ami was confused. Wait? She didn't want to wait; she had been waiting. Ever since she had admitted to herself she loved Makoto, there was always a part deep within her that had waited. Now she was finally able to explore and to feel those new feelings and she had to wait?
"But I thought…I mean…you…you don't want to?"
The hurt in Ami's voice shredded Makoto's heart as she hugged her tighter.
"I want to, I want to so bad it aches, but I want you to think about this. It's a huge step and it's something I want you to be sure you're ready for. I want to make sure it's me you want to go through this with and if it is something you are ready to do, then that changes our relationship. I want to go that extra step with you and once I do, I won't want to let you go for anything or anyone." Makoto said, looking at Ami desperately.
"I've never been like that with anyone."
"I know and I don't want you to regret it. It would kill me if you did and I'm not meaning to hurt your feelings with this either."
Ami shook her head as her brain once again was in control instead of her hormones.
"Iie, Mako, I understand."
Makoto regarded her for a moment, looking for any doubt or misunderstanding but found none. She smiled with satisfaction.
"But that doesn't mean we have to stop doing what we were doing, ne?" Ami asked sheepishly.
"Ami!" Makoto said with surprise and a laugh as Ami joined in with her own laughter.
"I'll take that as a no then." She said as she pushed Makoto back down on the ground.
"Just kissing because anything else will…"
But she was silenced by a passionate kiss from Ami, the sentence forgotten.

RING!
Ami opened her eyes slowly as she looked at her watch to see it was ten in the morning; a soft smile coming to her face as the memories of her first make-out session coming to her mind, making that all to familiar throb come more alive in her body.
RING!
She silently cursed the phone, as she had to leave her love's side to answer it.
"Ohayou, Kino residence."
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" a voice squealed from the other end.
"Usagi-chan! How are you?" a smile coming to the ice senshi's face at the call from her princess as she moved into the other room to talk so she didn't wake up Makoto.
"Good, good! Mamo-chan and I are having a wonderful time. How are things with you and Makoto-chan? I had called your mothers cell phone to wish you a happy birthday but she said you had stayed home with Makoto-chan." A little worry in the princess's voice.
"Things are well, I just felt horrible that Makoto was here all alone." She said.
There was silence at the other end of the line as Usagi took notice of the lack of suffix on Makoto's name.
"Well, that's good then. I've also noticed that both of your powers have been off and on, are you sure that everything's all right?"
"Things are taken care of now."
"Youma?" the princess asked suddenly.
"Iie, nothing as serious as that. Don't worry Usagi-chan, Mako's here to take care of anything, as well as myself. You and Mamoru-kun have fun."
A giggle escaped the blond girls lips.
"Nani?" the blue haired girl asked confused.
"I'm sorry Ami-chan, I can't keep it in anymore. You've said Makoto-chans name twice without a suffix and it makes me think that Minako-chan's skills are right."
Ami's jaw just dropped. She knew she'd have to tell her friends sooner or later, but she was hoping to enjoy her relationship first. Though, she was rather glad everyone was gone so there wouldn't be any spying like Usagi always wanted them to do on Minako's dates.
Due to the silence that Usagi heard her eyes widened with surprise.
"Oh my god, it's true!" she squealed with delight.
"H…Hai…" A blush spread across the younger girls face.
"Oh Ami-chan, I am so happy for the both of you! What a wonderful birthday present for you, ne? Oh let me talk to Makoto-chan too!"
"She's asleep still, but I can tell her that you called."
"Okay. Have you told anyone else?"
"My mother. I haven't talked to the other Senshi."
"Well, I know Minako-chan and Rei-chan will call you today because it's your birthday and I know they will be happy to hear about it. I really am happy for you, Ami-chan." Her voice soft and caring, as she could imagine the blushing blue solider of ice.
"I'm really happy, Usagi-chan." A blush consuming her voice so horribly that Usagi could only smile.
"Good. Well, I need to go but happy 20th birthday!"
"Arigatou."
"Ja ne!"
"Ja."
Ami hung up the phone and flopped on the bed. A smile washed over her face at the thought of Usagi being happy for her and Makoto. There were moments when Ami had thought it wouldn't be a good thing, but it was shoved quickly from her mind. The Senshi were all about love at the base of everything they did and no matter what happened love would always prevail.
The blue haired girl let out a content sigh as she closed her eyes. She thought about Makoto, as she often did, but this time she thought of her with kisses and touches, remembering what they felt like only hours ago. Her heart fluttered at the memories, especially how she felt when she had wanted…no needed…Makoto to have her completely. Did she want that though? Or was it her hormones taking more control of her than she wanted?
She rolled over on her side and just looked at Makoto's bed, taking in the sight of it being empty. She closed her eyes once again and let her mind take over, placing herself and Makoto in the bed. The images that played in her head enthralled but scared her at the same time. Was she ready for something like this? Was she ready to give herself completely to someone like that?
The more she thought about it, the more she came to realize that yes, and it was something she wanted. She loved Makoto. While she might not be educated in ways of expressing her love or even the basics of same sex love making, her heart and soul yearned to be connected to Makoto in those ways.
But at the same time…she was unsure. Unsure of what the out come would bring. What if she failed or screwed up? What if she got cold feet at the last second? What if…
Ami shook her head and realized she needed someone to talk to about this, someone who had experienced the same thing she was going through, someone who could help her. Picking up the phone, she dialed a new but somehow reassuring number.

Mara lay lazily on the couch as she watched the TV waiting for Miyuki to get home from her dads house. It was a special day and even though she didn't have to be where Makoto had asked them to be for a while, she was still anxious about it. Ami was a wonderful person for Makoto, she had decided, and if her music could make her friends come closer together then so be it! She would play the best she ever had! But, she needed rest.
A yawn escaped the blue haired woman's mouth as she heard the phone ring. Rolling off the couch she grasped it by the third ring.
"Moshi moshi?"
"Mara-chan?" a tentative voice asked.
"Ami-chan? Hai, it's me, something the matter?" Mara asked a little concerned.
"Iie…not like you're thinking. I…I had…well…questions…and I thought that…you…might be able to…help me…" Ami stammered out.
"Well, I'll help you the best I can but I can't promise results."
"I see. They are…rather…um…uncomfortable…questions."
Mara's eyebrow rose with question, her mind ticking off all the questions she would find uncomfortable, but then a light went off in her head and she smiled at the poor, poor girl on the other end of the line.
"It's all right, Ami-chan. You can ask." She said, settling down on the couch for the long conversation ahead.
"Hai." Ami said as she took a deep breath.
"What I want to know is, how…how did you know that…well…that you were ready for…a deeper…intimate connection with …Miyuki-chan?"
A smile instantly crossed Mara's face as her memories played over in her mind.
"Well, almost instantly to be honest. I had never done anything like that with anyone but when I was around Miyuki, it's all I seemed to want. I didn't really know at the time that that was what it was, mind you, I couldn't have told you for all the money in the world what arousal felt like. Best way I could describe it was a deep, constant…"
"…Throbbing?"
"Hai, throbbing. We would do things as any new couple would start out doing but there was a deeper need in the kisses and soft touches. I ached for Miyuki but at the same time I was so scared."
Ami nodded into the phone, agreeing readily with the woman she was talking to.
"Then, how did you…you know?"
"I didn't. Even to this day, three years later, I still get nervous and scared." The woman admitted.
Ami was speechless and Mara could tell.
"What I'm trying to say is…well…"
"Hai?" Ami asked hanging on every word the woman on the other end of the phone told her.
Mara thought of how to put what she wanted to say into words without making the sensitive girl uncomfortable, but realized she couldn't, she had to be blunt.
"When you take the step to make love to someone you truly love, it's a big one. It connects two people in ways that only deepens the bond between them, even if the first time is uncomfortable in the beginning. If it comes to you and Mako getting to that point, you have to share with her your fears and your wants. I want to share something with you that I think will help you with what you're feeling."
"Mara-chan, you don't have to…those are your private things…I don't think…"
"It's all right, Ami-chan. Please."
"…as you wish…"
Mara took a deep breath and began to tell her story.

Makoto slowly opened her eyes letting out a groan as she sat up from the hard floor.
"Remind me that sleeping on the hard floor isn't fun." she said, thinking Ami was there.
When she didn't get a response she looked around to see that Ami wasn't there. A frown crossed her features as she got up to find the smaller girl. When she walked into her bedroom she found the girl lying on her stomach talking on the phone.
Who could she be talking too?
Then she realized it was the girl's birthday and that it was probably her mother talking to her to wish her a happy birthday. The brown haired girl smiled and left the room before the other girl noticed her.
No sense in ruining her privacy, plus it gives me time to take of the things I need to do for her birthday. I really hope she likes what I have planned.
Makoto looked at the clock and smiled, she was right where she needed to be, even though she slept in. Her mind rolled back to what she and Ami had been doing before they had fallen asleep and her heart melted. Ami was by far the most passionate kisser she had ever experienced and it was no problem that she would be kissing those lips for the rest of her life. A blush made itself known on the thunder senshi's face as she thought of forever with the one she loved.
"You all right Mako?"
Makoto jumped as she snapped out of her reverie as her vision came into focus on Ami standing before her still in her pajamas.
"Um, yes, I am thanks." She said, a little embarrassed to have been caught zoning out.
"You had a blush on your face, you sure?" Ami said with a smile.
"Hai, oh and happy birthday." She said as she hugged the smaller girl to her, lifting her off the ground in the process.
"Arigatou. I've already talked to Usagi-chan today."
"Usagi-chan? How does she like America?" She asked, moving away from the hug to start fixing Ami her brunch.
"She said that they were having fun and hoped that we were as well." A pout forming on her face that Makoto had cut the hug short.
"She figured it out." Makoto said with a tone that let Ami know she wasn't upset but not at all surprised either.
"Hai."
There was silence as Makoto cooked and prepared the meal for her love, thinking to herself that nothing was really secret among the Senshi. They knew all about each other whether they cared to admit it or not. Just because something wasn't said didn't mean they didn't know either.
"So do I get to know your plans for me today?" Ami asked as she sat down at the table.
Makoto handed Ami her brunch, sat down at the table, and smiled at the girl.
"I don't know depends on how well you ask me." A giggle coming from the brown haired girl as she snuck bites of Ami's food from her plate.
Ami laughed in return and happily ate her food. She had gotten off the phone with Mara a while ago but lay in bed to think about what Mara had told her. It made her feel a lot better, she felt a lot closer to Mara now, but she felt even better about what Makoto had asked her to think about. Just as Ami finished her meal with loving caresses from Makoto, there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it."
"Iie, it's your birthday, you shouldn't do a thing today."
"Iie, it's fine you finish my eggs and we'll call it even." She said as she stood up and walked to the door.
The minute she opened the door, her jaw dropped in surprise.
"Happy birthday, Ami-chan!" Miyuki said as she hugged the shocked girl and walked it carrying presents.
"Hai, happy birthday." Mara said as she walked in with a blush on her face.
"But…how?" she stuttered.
"Well, my cell phone also picks up the house phone, so while we were talking at some point this morning, we were also driving here." She smiled.
"You guys talked?" Makoto said with confusion.
"Hai, you know happy birthday things." Miyuki said, covering for her lover.
Makoto didn't buy it for a minute, wanting to remind Ami that they had come to the understanding of not hiding things from one another. Makoto looked over to Ami and then her cousins and just shook her head.
"Come on girls, we have presents to open!"
0o0o0
After the presents were opened they all jumped into Makoto's truck and headed to the place Makoto had wanted to take Ami for a long time.
"Mako, I don't think you should hide yourself anymore." Mara spoke.
"I think I should. I don't like the stares I get from people and as comfortable/uncomfortable as I am with my real looks, it's still a little odd for me to be that way around Ami."
There was silence for a few moments as Ami picked up on the tension.
"I still can't believe you two came down for my birthday." A blush covering her face.
"Is that bad?" Miyuki asked as she piddled with her wallet.
"Iie, iie! I am very happy that you guys came. I know it made Makoto happy as well; she has said more than once that she has missed you."
Three pairs of eyes turned to look at Makoto, who blushed.
"What? Am I not allowed to miss you guys?" she snuck a sideways glance at them as she drove.
"I didn't know you cared so much, Mako." Mara said as she laid her head against the drivers shoulder.
"I hope you enjoy your presents as well, Ami-chan."
A blush went through Ami's face as she thought about all the gifts she had gotten from the pair, but especially the secret one she had gotten from Mara as she was changing her cloths.
"H…hai, arigatou both of you."
Makoto pulled to a stop as both Mara and Ami took double glances at where they were.
"No…"
"…way." Mara finished for Ami.
They both looked to their respective others only to see bulging wallets thrust in their faces.
"Have fun you two." Miyuki said as she handed Mara her wallet.
"Hai, here you go Ami. Shop to your hearts content." Makoto handed her the wallet.
"But that's too much money, I can't spend it, it's yours."
Ami looked at the bulging wallet with complete surprise.
"I've been saving up all year to take you here, girlfriend or not. I want to do this for you, so go buy the books you've been wanting." A soft smile came across Makoto's face as she moved some hair out of Ami's eyes.
"No time to argue, Ami-chan, lets hit the road!"
Mara grabbed Ami's hand as she raced out of the car and into the biggest bookstore they had ever seen, leaving Makoto and Miyuki in their wake. The other girls left behind slowly made their way to the entrance of the massive store.
"So, how long do you think it will take them to spend all that money?"
"Two seconds with Mara but I don't know Ami well enough to say."
They opened the doors and nearly gasped at all the people shopping.
"You just had to take her on opening day, ne?"
"Well, if you're going to do something do it right!" a smiled crossed Makoto's face as Miyuki rolled her eyes.
"But Ami will take her time and chose carefully the books she wants. She will want to spend the least amount of money she can get away with. I've watched her put one book back on the shelf so many times, even when she had the money, but bought something less expensive. So I'm hoping to see that book in her arms today."
"What book?"
"Couldn't really tell you what it was about but she told me once it was a collection of short stories that just made her happy."
"Oh, well how about we play a little spy game?"
"Nani?" she asked, looking at her cousin.
"We follow Ami discreetly, watching the books she puts back and then pull those from the shelves. Once she comes to you to say she's ready you hand her the others. If she's going to spend the money like you say, then she'll only have one book. Use a little force and boom! Happy girl!" Miyuki smiled as she pointed to the smaller blue haired girl.
They had been walking the whole time to find one of their significant others and just happen to come across Ami first. The cousins watched with interest as Ami flipped through a few books and moved on to where suddenly Mara popped up. They watched as Mara's cheery face laughed as Ami all but dropped the book she had given her. Miyuki looked at Makoto, who looked just as confused as they watched the women walking and pointing in the book.
"I wonder…"
"Me too."
So it had been decided as both girls scrambled their way to the section Ami and Mara had been in. Their eyes nearly popped out of their head as they read some of the titles Ami had picked up.
"Yuki…"
"I can't believe it! How To Please Your Female Lover and Woman: Know Her Body!"
"What was…"
"Mako! She's trying to learn how to…you know..." Yuki whispered to her shell-shocked cousin, watching her suddenly grow pale.
"Ami? Iie…she…can't…I mean…but…" Makoto stuttered out becoming suddenly scared.
"What's the big deal? I thought that would be a good thing?" Miyuki asked as she moved her rather pale cousin to the chairs close by.
"Ami and I…we were…she asked…and I said we should wait…I didn't want to push her because it's a BIG step, I didn't want her first time to be like mine. I told her to think about it before we did anything. Plus, I'm scared about what might happen if anything does happen."
"I guess she's thinking about it." The shorter brown haired woman giggled as Makoto play punched her shoulder.
Makoto suddenly turned to her cousin with fear in her eyes, grabbed her by the shoulders, and visibly shook.
"What if she wants…tonight!"
"What's wrong with that? That would be a wonderful birthday gift for the girl!"
Makoto felt like all of her energy had been drained from her by a youma. She just couldn't believe this.
"I don't see why you're getting so upset, Mako, haven't you wanted to make love to Ami?"
"It's all I've ever really thought about for awhile, but then I remember that she's new to all of this and just because I'm aroused and experienced, doesn't mean she's ready. Gods I ache right this moment for her but at the same time I'm in shambles! I am so afraid."
Miyuki only had to see the look on her cousin's face to realize that this was true love Makoto was experiencing and something else. Even to this day, Miyuki herself still got nervous about making love with Mara, whom she had been with for years. A soft smile came to the older woman's face as she gently hugged her shaken cousin.
"Mako, listen to me. I still get this way with Mara, I still get scared, and nervous. I can't believe that the woman I love wants to make love with me, that she needs me that way, and that I need her in those ways too. Being scared won't change and I realized you're extra scared because you're her first for everything as well as something else. I was in the same position you were too, once."
"Mara."
"Hai. Let me share a secret with you." She began as she moved to look Makoto in the eyes.
"You and I are very passionate people, sometimes we think it can even cause us problems, but it's all right. When the time comes when Ami is ready to take that step with you, I know you'll be a kind and considerate lover. When Mara and I first made love…"
"Iie, Yuki, those are your private things."
Miyuki just gave her a look and continued on with her story.
"When Mara and I first made love, it was very emotional not just for her, but for me as well. We were both nervous, especially her, she had no idea what to do but I realized that I had to help her, I had to guide her, and I had to have patience in learning about her. Once she started to get into it and feel comfortable, it was so beautiful. To this day that memory still amazes me. Each time you two make love, you'll learn something new about each other and it gets easier. The second time we did it Mara took control; she led. All it takes is once for people like Ami and Mara because all they need is to explore the basics. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Makoto nodded her head and hugged her cousin tight, a weight lifting off her shoulders.
"Ever since Ami and I have decided to be together, all the confidence I've had has just been shot. I suddenly feel like a twelve year old with a crush. I find myself freaking out, blushing, and being timid! Me, timid!" a laugh escaped her lips as Miyuki pulled her to her feet.
"It's natural and if you didn't feel that way I'd be a little concerned, but lets go find the little girls room. I need to go and then we'll find the girls, ne?" Miyuki winked.
"You're the only person I know who goes as much as you do." Makoto commented as they walked to the restroom.
"That's just me I suppose."
"Iie, it's because you're old." Makoto jabbed as Miyuki stopped dead in her tracks.
"When I get out, be prepared for some hurt." She threatened and walked into the ladies room.
Makoto winced and went to go find a safe place.
Authors Notes: Well, I just love Mara and Miyuki XD
Thanks for staying with me this far!
Chapter 11 to follow shortly.
