Under Your Spell
Author's notes/disclaimers: Obviously, I didn't write this song. It's from the Buffy (the Vampire Slayer) Musical, and I give all credit to all of the writers, producers, musicians, and etc. that had a hand in the song. Sailor Moon, as well, does not belong to me, and I give credit were credit is do. This is a song-fic with a girl/girl paring, so if you don't like it, don't read it. Also, I changed some of the history between the Ami and Usagi to fit my story. They are both about 29 in this story.
Ami smiled down at the blond-haired girl sleeping peacefully on their bed. Sighing, she picked up her white, doctor's coat and slipped it on. How she abhorred leaving her beautiful "odango-atama", but she knew she had to go to the hospital. Now that she was an important doctor, Mizuno Ami had no choice but to fulfill her obligations. Now, she did love being a doctor, but she just wished it were different sometimes. She would always remember how it was when they were younger… When they first met…
**Flashback**
A slim, flaxen haired beauty slipped through the halls, not looking where she was going and plowed straight into Ami.
"What are you," Ami said, sighing. "Some kind of, odango-atama?" The girl sighed exasperatedly and sweat-dropped.
"Why does everyone call me that?" She murmured. Picking up both of their books, she said, "I'm sorry, I really am. I wasn't looking where I was going." Giving the azure haired girl a smile she shook her hand. "My name's Usagi. What's yours?" Ami smiled in spite of herself.
"I'm Mizuno Ami." As she was talking, a tall, dark haired boy walked up behind Usagi and put his arms around her waist. Ami flushed.
"Hey, Nousagi*," the boy said, kissing her ear softly. "Who's this?" Usagi murmured quietly and closed her eyes for a moment.
"This is Ami," Usagi said, re-opening her eyes. "Ami, this is Chiba Mamoru, my boyfriend." Ami blushed, murmured something like hello, and found a reason to slip away quickly. From that moment on, Ami was taken with Usagi in a way she didn't quite understand yet…
//I lived my life in shadow
Never the sun on my face
It didn't seem so sad, though
I figured that was my place
Now I'm bathed in
light
Something just isn't right//
**Five years later**
Ami, Usagi, and the rest of the gang had graduated just one year earlier. Nothing had happened after Ami's initial discovery of her feelings for Usagi, but they grew each day that she spent with the silly, sweet, Moon Princess. One day, while studying in her dorm room at medical school, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in, it's not locked or anything," she said, over her music. She was amazed when she saw none but Usagi. "Usagi! What are you doing here? I thought for sure you'd be living with Mamo-san in some penthouse by now." Usagi sighed, shuffled her feet, and sat down on the bed, her face pink. "What's wrong, Usa?" Ami looked very nervous.
"Oh, Ami-chan, it's so horrible. Mamoru doesn't love me anymore. He cheated on me and he dumped me… He – he…." Usagi broke off and burst into tears. Ami, very worried about her dear friend, wrapped her arms around her neck and held her tight to her body, stroking the long, soft hair.
"Oh, my poor, sweet baniigaaru**. What a jerk. He was never good to you anyway, Usagi." Ami sighed and kissed the top of Usagi's head. "Oh, let it out sweetie, let it out." Usagi cried bitter tears into her good friend's shoulder and wrapped her arms around Ami's waist. The closeness of Usagi's body to her own made Ami quiver almost imperceptibly on the bed. She sighed again, and the thought that Usagi still loved Mamoru and would never love her was almost more than she could bear. Ami's own tears began to fall silently from her huge, blue eyes. Usagi felt Ami's sobs over top her own, and looked up.
"Why are you crying, Ami?" Usagi wondered, her eyes curious through her own pain. Ami looked down and the blue eyes caught each other's, mirroring their worry. Ami sighed softly and thought, I guess now's as good a time as any...
"Usagi, I ... I love you. It hurts me so badly to see you so upset. But, even more than that, it hurts me to see you and realize that I will never, ever have you. That's why I'm crying, sweet Usagi, that's why." Usagi stared at Ami in disbelief. She didn't know what to say. Ami looked so innocent, so hurt... Usagi couldn't bear it anymore and before she realized it, she was kissing the soft peach lips of her best friend. The kiss was tender, naive, simple, and it tore at Ami's heart even more. "No, please, Usagi. Don't do it if you don't mean it." Usagi looked deeply into Ami's eyes.
"But, Ami-san, I do mean it. I mean it with all of my heart." They began kissing again, and sighed softly as they relaxed into each others arms and got to know each other again in ways they never thought they could, let alone would.
//I'm under your
spell
How else could it be
Anyone would notice me?
It's magic, I can tell
How you've set me free
Brought me out so easily//
This is just a teaser. If you want to know what happens next, you're going to have to review it and let me know what I'm doing right.
