"Are you excited, Ami?" Zoisite asked cheerfully as the two, as well as Kunzite and Setsuna got onto the
large, air-conditioned bus.
"Of course! I have never been to Cedar Point before, of course I'm excited!"
The four friends, who were classmates in the Accelerated Honors Physics class, were participating in the
annual Physics Day field trip. Of course, it was more for the sake of fun than for actually doing physics,
but they were to analyze a ride of choice based on the laws of mechanics, etc. and then write a detailed
lab report about their findings.
Of course, with all members of that group being extremely diligent students, the "business" part of the
field trip was immediately taken care of first. After having gotten the necessary data on the roller coaster
Raptor, and written down the equations necessary for doing the calculations, the four divided up the
tasks: Setsuna would draw the diagrams, Zoisite do the calculations, Kunzite write up the purpose and
procedure, and Ami would do the data analysis and type the lab report. Then, the four friends let loose
and proceeded to ride as many rides as they could fit into one day.
They had just gotten off a water ride when Mr. Fletcher, the physics teacher, announced that it was time
to go back to the buses and head back to the high school.
Ami sat down on her seat by the window, rubbing her cold arms with her cold hands. She only had on a
tank top and shorts, both of which were soaked thoroughly by the water ride. Plus, the air conditioning
on the bus was turned up quite high. Exhausted after the long day, she closed her eyes as Zoisite took
his seat next to her. Suddenly, her fuzzy brain registered a feeling of warmth. 'Good, they turned off the
A/C...' she thought drowsily, leaning closer towards the nice, protective source of warmth.
She awoke to Setsuna's gentle shaking of her shoulders. "Ami, we're back at the school now. Wake up!"
Ami slowly opened sapphire eyes, which widened as her cheeks took on a rosy blush. She had a familiar
varsity jacket draped over her, and she was leaning against an equally familiar shoulder. Zoisite had one
arm encircling her protectively. Setsuna gave her a small, knowing smirk. Ami, utterly embarrassed, turned
to Zoisite, silently asking for an explanation.
He gave her a sheepish, boyish grin. "You were shivering in your sleep." He offered laconically as the two
of them stepped off the bus after Kunzite and Setsuna.
"Oh!" Ami said blankly. They were out of the chilly bus now, and the night air was warm. But Zoisite still
had his arm around her shoulders. And Ami, usually so averse to touch since she was 10, let him take that
liberty for reasons unknown even to herself.

"I can't believe it! We'll be seniors after this summer!" Serena squealed gleefully. Ami merely nodded, her
nose buried in her book. Today was the day of the calculus final...now, to go over logarithmic integration
functions one last time...
Zoisite sat down next to her. "So, ready for Calc?" He asked. She gave him a wan smile.
"I hope so, you?"
"I think we'll both do fine." He replied. "But I didn't want to talk to you about that." He actually looked a
bit nervous for a second, then dug out a box from his backpack. "Here, this is for you."
Ami was both surprised and touched. "Oh, Zoisite, you didn't have to!" He grinned. "Of course I didn't, but
I wanted to. Open it, see if you like it."
Ami nodded, and opened the box. Inside, there was a discman and a package of batteries. "Oh! Thanks
so much, Zoisite! You REALLY didn't need to get me anything, and especially not anything expensive!"
He merely gave her a warm smile. "You need some joy in your life, sweet Ami. Now, let's go and kick that
final's ass!"
====90 minutes later====
"Well, how do you think you did?" Ami asked Zoisite as the two of them stepped out of the front door of
the high school for the last time that school year.
"I think I did fine, you?"
"I hope I did fine, I'm just glad that I went over the integration formulas twice, there were a lot of those
on the test..." They continued out towards Zoisite's car, still deep in discussion about the intricacies of
calculus. This highly academic and (had they been present to hear it, Mina, Lita, and Serena would have
deemed it) boring conversation continued on the drive to Ami's house. Then, when they arrived, Zoisite
parked on the driveway and walked her to the door. Stopping there as she searched for keys, he looked
down into her sweet, sad face. "Ami, you're really an amazing girl, you know that?"
She smiled, somewhat bashfully, "Thank you. For your friendship."
"No, thank YOU, for yours. I'll see you at the leadership conference in August." He gave her a warm hug,
then waved, and drove away.
