Ami hummed a tune to herself as she floated up to her room. It was midnight, and she had just come
home from her first date. She smiled when she saw the crystal vase in her room filled with two dozen red
roses. Zoisite had come to pick her up for dinner and a movie. He had come to pick her up at 7:00 sharp,
wearing a white shirt, khakis and a beautiful smile, his arms full of roses. Then, he had proceeded to give
her the roses, telling her how beautiful she looked, and as she went to put the roses in water, he had
charmed her mother with his intelligence and courtesy. They had gone out to a quaint little Japanese
restaurant to eat, and then, to the movie theatre. He had held her small hand in his larger one for the
entirety of the movie, and when he had dropped her off back at her house, he had taken her in his arms
for a tender hug, before kissing her lips lightly, his fingers gently caressing the ends of her hair.
She was in love. And it was wonderful. Instead of the trapped feeling that she had feared, she felt like
all her fetters had finally been broken. That she was finally free. Smiling dreamily at the roses one last
time, she turned off the lights and went to sleep.

"Ami, can I do your hair?" Mina asked her friend.
"Sure thing!" Ami smiled serenely. Mina, holding a handful of hairpins and a brush, walked over to where
Ami was sitting.
Tonight was Prom night. Ami sat, dressed in a sheeny dress of midnight blue trimmed with diamonds. It
was long, elegant, flowing, and fit her perfectly, bringing out the pallor of her skin, the glimmer of her
sapphire eyes, and her glossy hair, which Mina was pinning into an elegant French twist around her head
at the very moment. She wore dangling diamond earrings and a matching necklace, and a beatific smile.
All five girls, dressed in their prom dresses, were sitting in Mina's sunny room. Mina was helping everyone
with their hair and makeup. Ami looked affectionately at all of them. Rei was pinning her hair up with a
pair of ebony chopsticks, and dressed in a daring, strapless crimson gown with one slit up her thigh. Lita
wore green, trimmed with pink, and she wore pink blossoms in her coppery hair. Serena wore blissful, lacy
white, with a pearl necklace and baby roses at her throat. Mina, whose reflection she could see in the
mirror in front of her, wore a dress the color of a sunrise. and a diadem of golden hearts on her forehead.
They all looked so happy, so beautiful...
"There! You look gorgeous, Ami." Mina pinned a diamond-trimmed barrette in her hair, and stepped back,
admiring her handiwork. As if on cue, the doorbell rang downstairs. Five excited girls trooped down the
staircase in their dainty sandals, and Mina opened the door.
Ami saw Zoisite standing right behind Kunzite, who was at the moment kissing Mina's cheek. He wore a
tuxedo, and sunglasses. 'Mr. Cool' She smiled to herself. He paused, then stepped up to her, and took
her hand in his.
"You look so, so beautiful." His voice was reverent. She pinned a white rosebud on his lapel, and thanked
him. He continued, "I'm serious. You always look beautiful, but today, you just look....wow...." He gently
slid a corsage of white rosebuds and tiny blue forget-me-nots onto her wrist, and whispered into her ear,
"How did I ever manage to win you?" She merely smiled, and snuggled into his arms.

Ami was exhausted, but it was a good sort of exhaustion. The prom had been fun. The elegance of the
place, the excellent company of her friends, and, Zoisite. Ami had truly felt beautiful last night, and not
because she was dolled up in a pretty dress, with her hair and makeup done, but because he had made
her feel beautiful with his love.
After the prom, everyone had gone to Ami's house, to chill and watch movies. They had so much fun, all
of them, that no one went home that night.
Now, the morning after, one by one, they had gone. Now, Zoisite was the only one left. Still dressed in
his tuxedo, although with the jacket open, he walked out towards his car, Ami trailing behind him. She
was also still in her dress, although she had taken down her hair.
"Good-bye, sweet Ami." He said, before stepping into his car. Ami waved as he drove away, and then was
startled when he stopped about 100 feet away, got out of the car, and ran towards her.
"Sorry, I forgot something." He said a bit breathlessly.
"Oh? What did you forget?" She asked curiously. And then, she felt him taking her into his arms, and then
a deep, loving kiss upon her lips. She moaned slightly, and reached up her hands to caress his hair. Long
moments later, they parted. He smiled. "I'm all set now."

Ami lay on the table as the needle drained the blood from her arm. Due to the recent September 11th
tragedy, she was, for the first time in her 18 years of life, donating blood. Despite the discomfort of the
needle in her arm and the coldness of her fingers, she was smiling.
Today, Zoisite was coming to visit her! He had gone to a different University, but they had kept in touch
with each other. Her birthday had just passed 5 days ago, and he was coming to see her.
Soon, the needle was removed from her arm, and she sat up quickly, eager to go back to her dorm room
to see Zoisite, who was due to arrive any minute now. She had sat up too quickly, and suddenly, black
spots danced before her eyes, and she fell down again, passed out.
Zoisite had stopped by her room, and had learned from her roommate that she was donating blood. June
had told him where she would be, and he at once set off to find her. When he had seen her lying there,
unconscious, he picked her up in his arms, and carried the blue-haired girl all the way back to her dorm.
Ami had awoken a while later, and when her roommate, smirking, had told her that she had been carried
like a princess all the way back to her room, she blushed crimson. But she was too happy to see Zoisite
to worry about this for long. The two went out to dinner, then Zoisite headed to the apartment of Darien,
Serena's boyfriend, where he was to stay that night.
However, 30 minutes later, he was back at Ami's room. Darien was in the hospital, having accidentally
sprained his wrist that day. He would not be home that night. After explaining the situation to Ami, she
had deliberated on what to do, and had decided that he could stay with her that night.
The next morning, when June awoke, she saw two individuals sleeping peacefully on her roommate's bed.
Zoisite had an arm protectively around Ami, who was nestled against his chest, a blissful smile on her
face. It would have been very easy for him to have taken advantage of the situation, but he had not. A
smile grew on June's lips. 'Ami is one lucky girl...'
