The author's notes are at the bottom.
Rated PG-13 because, well, of my gratuitous use of naked people, wink.
And to all you Ami fans, this one's for you. wink

Isobel
by Bastion
inspired by the song, "Isobel-Deodato" by Bjork
[The opening chords begin to play just as Ami hangs up a phone,
looking rather disappointed the conversation had to end. She
sighs and opens a book, but her mind wonders as her eyes come
upon a mirror across the room.]
In a forest pitch-dark
Glowed the tinest spark
[She stares at her reflection and something in her snaps. She calmly
closes the book and stands up, not taking her eyes away from the
mirror.]
It burst into flame
Like me
Like me
[Ami hesitantly brings her hands to the buttons on her uniform.]
My name Isobel
[Her shirt floats to the ground.]
Married to myself
[Her skirt lands onto of the heap.]
My love Isobel
[Now in her underwear, she gazes at herself.]
Living by herself
[Realizing how impulsive that was, she begins
to giggle uncontrolably.]
In a heart full of dust
Lives a creature called lust
[She then glances at the door and her mood becomes
more mischevious.]
It surprises and scares
Like me
Like me
[As the front door closes, the viewer sees her bra and panties
laying where she once stood.]
My name Isobel
[As Ami strides down the street as every person she passes,
strangers and friends alike gape at her.]
Married to myself
[Ami, feeding off the attention, stretches her limbs
and frees them of any prudence.]
My love Isobel
[She closes her eyes as she clasps her hands
in front of her chest and sighs happily.]
Living by herself
[Ami giggles to herself as she passes by Makoto and Rei in the park.]
When she does it she means to
Moth delivers her message
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
[Ami reaches a water fountain, gushing out in liberation. Filled with
a sense of freedom, she spins around singing aloud. The viewer
focuses on her carefree smiling visage as the world around her becomes
a kaleidoscope of faces.]
Nana na nana
[After she stops spinning she notices the crowds developing around her,
Makoto and Rei among them, all in utter disbelief. Ami flashes a wry
grin.]
Nana na nana
[Now Ami's eyes come upon a familar structure
and her wry grin becomes wider.]
In a tower of steel
Nature forges a deal
[Ami begins to toy with the following awed crowd. She sways her hips
suggestively, savoring the reaction it brings.]
To raise wonderful hell
Like me
Like me
[She enters the lobby of the hotel, passing the stupefied guard.
The male receptionist smiles at her as she walks by. Ami, noticing him,
flashes him a coy grin and blows him a kiss.]
My name Isobel
Married to myself
My love Isobel
Living by herself
[The elevator opens for her as she approaches. Everyone inside just
stares at her as she enters.]
When she does it she means to
Moth delivers her message
[The viewer follows Ami inside and spins around her
focusing on her face as she joyously sing aloud.]
Unexplained on your collar
Crawling in silence
A simple excuse
[The elevator door opens and Ami saunters down the hall, still singing.]
Nana na nana
[She stops at her destination and knocks on the door.]
Nana na nana
[Urawa opens the door and nearly falls over in surprise.]
Nana na nana
[The strings begin to take the song out as Ami's grin becomes
seductive and closes the door on the viewer.]
Nana na nana
[The slamming of a door jolts Ami from her sleep. As the
strings die down she glances around her room in confusion,
wondering what happened.]
Fin.
Author's Ramblings:
This songfic was inspired by several things:
The fanfic Liberating Waters by the ever wonderful Laura Hudson
for one of the best out of character Ami stories around,
A music video I saw by Lisa Stanton in which she primarily didn't
wear much more than a smile,
The song Isobel off the Telegram album, (one I would strongly
recommend for anyone as well as anything else by that Icelandic
goddess), that got my inspiration in full sail.
