Chapter 7 is hereeee! I'm trying to get as many chapters out as possible,
so here's Chapter 7 as promised. Thanx to everyone who reviewed! I FUV YOU!
(Fuv is friendly love). Again Sailor Moon doesn't belong to me, it's owned
by very rich people! Please don't blame me for the very corny titles for
each chapter. I do try! ^_^

1 Chapter 7- Mercury('s Temperature) Rising
***Ami's POV***
I just got Mina's message, unfortunately it came a bit late! Seeing him again was… wow. Uhh, looking good should be illegal. I thought I wouldn't feel this way, me, the level-headed one. God, how am I going to work with him! I did not need this, not right now. Well it's not surprising, the first good opportunity I'm offered, I get to work with him! Uhh, Bad day, what an understatement!
*****That Day- The University*****
All the students sit very still, watching Prof. Matthews. Famous for being the Prof. Who sent some out of the auditorium for not sitting straight in his lesson, everyone was very careful to pay attention to him.
"…And that finishes off our section on cellular healing (Again since I'm not doing Pre-Med. I'm only guessing the name of a subject), I'd like all your essays on 'The Value Of The Hippocratic Oath' in on Monday by the latest. You can go."
All the students suddenly spilled out of the room. Ami was one of the last to leave until…
"Ami, can I have a word with you please?"
"Now?"
"Can you meet me in my office at 2.30?"
"Yes sir."
"I'll see you there then."
And with that he left the room. Ami looked at her watch and realised she was going to be late for her next lesson.
"Shit!"
*****2.30pm-Prof. Matthews Office*****
Ami walked up to the door, very nervous about the interview. She hoped she hadn't done anything serious, but was definitely ready with an apology if she had! She knocked very quietly on the door.
"Come in!"
She went in and closed the door behind her. The Prof. seemed to be very busy and continued writing for a few minutes before looking up
"Ahh, Ami, please sit down"
She sat down very carefully, waiting for the onslaught. She was very surprised with what happened next.
"Now Ami, as you must know, I am running a very important laboratory experiment this term. Unfortunately, one of my assistants has been obliged to quit and I was wondering if you would like to take over for him?"
"Well, I…"
"You would be paid standard university fees and since you are so far ahead of the rest of the class I'm sure some time off school wouldn't hurt."
"Uh, I…"
"I've talked to the rest of your Professors and they don't have a problem with it. It's a very small project so you would only be working with one other person and me. What do you say?"
"Of course, I accept!"
"Good, I will inform the university of your decision and can you start today?"
"Today!"
"Yes, Is from 5-9pm Ok for you?"
"Yeah, I…I guess."
"Good, You will be working with my other assistant and me tonight, but tomorrow from 8.30-1pm you two will work alone, and I will supervise the evening session. You will have Wednesdays and Weekends off."
"How long will this experiment last?"
"Just for another 2 months."
"2 Months!"
"Yes, you will of course have to submit your papers and take the same tests your class takes, but I'm sure you can deal with that."
"I guess…"
"Great, I'll see you at 5 then."
He immediately got back to work, a not so subtle hint for Ami to leave. She did, very excited about her first 'research job'. Prof. Matthews experiments were well known in all medical circles, and this job would a) pay the rent and b) be very useful on her resume. He might be very eccentric, but he was fair and always gave credit to his assistants.
***Ami's POV***
It sounded great, but not everything is as good as it seems. This definitely was not! I went back to the small house I share with the Mina and 'phoned my mother. I thought maybe she would be upset about me quitting my course for 2 months, but when I told her why… you should have heard her: "Darling that's wonderful! This will be so good for your career. I'm sure you'll enjoy working with Prof. Matthews, such a brilliant mind!" After that I told Usagi I wouldn't be able to meet her tonight: "But Amiii! I've organised everything! I need you to help me study! Oh…, if you're working, I guess you can't help it. See ya!"
I wish I had gone along tonight! It would have got me out of a very embarrassing situation!
*****5pm-Laboratory 1*****
Ami entered the room and saw Prof. Matthews and his assistant already working. Her eyes widened and mouth dropped as she took in his features. Quite tall, runner's built(quite thin), sandy blonde hair and… sea green eyes. Prof. Matthews turned and caught sight of her, she managed to compose herself at the last second.
"Good, you're here. Ami, this is Zoisite my other assistant. Zoisite, this is my best student, Ami. Now unfortunately I have to leave now, but I'm sure Zoisite will fill you in on the details of the experiment. Now I'll see you both at the evening session tomorrow night, make sure to make notes on tonight's work for me, Zoisite. See you tomorrow!"
He left, shutting the door behind him. Ami could feel his eyes on her, but couldn't lift her own to meet his. She was afraid she would drown in them if she did.
"I guess we're going to be working together."
"Yeah… I mean…I…guess so."
"Are you ready to get started?"
"Yeah, I…I am"
"Let's get started then."
***Ami's POV***
Uh, what happened to me! I was behaving like a love-sick teenager! This is really bad, I can't stop blushing whenever I'm near him. The way he makes me feel…Aww crap! I need to get a grip on myself! I'm also talking to myself, I guess love does make you crazy. Not that I'm in love…or anything. AARGH!
***Zoisite's POV***
She couldn't even look at me today. I…I don't know what to do. I understand her point of view but can't she even look at me! This is going to be harder than I thought. I mean, not that I thought it was going to be easy. Ami has a hard enough time admitting her feelings for me in the first place! But at least then she would look at me.
Phew! This has got to be my longest Chapter yet! Lala lala la-la! Whoo! I rock! And so do you readers out there! You ROCK! Does it sound like I'm fishing for reviews? 'Cuz I am! R&R Puh-lease! ^_^
