(a/n: I'm back again, surprised? Of course not! Hehe, Er, I didn't quite
realize how mushy this story was, and that's just not me, I'm more of a
depressing person, so I'm sorry to say, there shall be troubles for
everybody in the story, but since I feel mushy right now, that can all
start in the next chapter! Hehe. Well, R&R, and this chapter is dedicated
to Whiro, whose poetry (I say again) is very nice, and it's always nice to
meet a poet as insane as myself)
To Make You Feel My Love
Makoto and Ami walked through a flower garden, the very one where Ami first kissed Makoto (shocking everyone who's reading by making the first move . . .hehe). The sat together in a gazebo, staring at the sky as gray-bellied clouds rolled in, and a shower of rain fell about them, the echoing of the rain on the roof, Ami curling up into Makoto as they sat and swung on a pure white swing that hung from the roof.
The wind whipped the rain onto the pair, and Ami turned her face away and stared hopelessly into Makoto's eyes.
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
Makoto smiled down on her, and had begun playing with Ami's hair without noticing it. Neither spoke a word aloud, as Makoto placed a white blossom that she had picked in Ami's hair, and adjusted it just so, before leaning down and kissing Ami's forehead. Ami smiled up at her, her eyes shining with un-shed tears from pain, pain because of her mother.
Makoto momentarily cursed the doctor for what she was doing to Ami, and again because Ms. Mizuno knew that she was hurting Ami, and she simply didn't seem to care. Ami was being torn in half because of the woman. And she knew that Ami was unsure of what to do now, stay with Makoto, or crawl back to her mother.
"I know you're confused because of her." Makoto spoke through the shower above them, and Ami looked away from her lover's eyes.
"I'm sorry Mako-kun." Ami answered softly, and Makoto kissed her softly, yet firmly.
"Never be sorry, Ami-san, never be sorry for loving me. Because I love you, too, my Goddess."
A break in the storm clouds, shown stars smiling down upon the two, for an instant . . .
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you fell my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
And I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
There's not doubt in my mind where you belong
"I'm not sorry, Makoto, I never will be. But I love my mother; I don't want her to hate me. I mean . . ."
"I know." Makoto answered softly, as the rain consumed the skies. "I know. Look, it was a quick shower, the storm's going away, let's go home, now."
Ami had been living with Makoto for the past few days, and she loved it. As they walked back, they watched the storm roll over the sea, sending the waves crashing upon the shore, spraying high. Ami drew in the salty sent of the beach, and Makoto watched in admiration as Ami was taken away by the salty essence of her powers.
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on a rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet
Makoto stored the picture in her memory. She grabbed Ami around the middle, and swung her around, sending her into giggles. "I, my dearest Ami- chan, am the luckiest damn woman in the world, and I shall proudly let everyone in the world know it, and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Why do I believe that you would tell everyone?"
"'Cause you know me!" Makoto answered, and threw her fiancé and lover over her shoulder, and ran home through the drizzle, then she threw Ami onto the couch, and proceeded to splay a loud kiss on her forehead, and run into the kitchen, retrieving about eight people, who all ran out, smiling brightly.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMI!"
"You-you guys remembered?!" Ami giggled.
"Of course, Ames. You're officially nineteen, love!"
"Mako-chan . . ."
"I know, you love me, I love you, too!" Makoto grinned wildly, and pulled a wrapped box from her pocket. "Present number one." She smiled warmly, and Ami slowly unwrapped it. No one but Makoto knew that she considered a present a failed attempt at opening if the wrapper came off in more than one piece. Inside lay a velvet jewelry box. With shaking fingers, Ami opened it, to be greeted by the sight of a delicate bracelet; pearls and sapphires dripping off it like water droplets.
"I love you, always and forever, Goddess.
Yours for Eternity,
Mako-kun."
Ami read the inscription imprinted in the box aloud, finally trying to not cry, as that was all she seemed to have done the past few days, and yet again, she knew how much Makoto loved her.
There and nothin' that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
Make you happy make your dreams come true
To make you feel my love
"I love it Mako-chan!" She put it on with a soft click. "Thank you so much."
"More presents!" Usagi spoke in a singsong voice, and held out a box labeled "from Usa and Mamo-chan!" in Usagi's handwriting. Ami giggled at the nickname Usagi used for Mamoru, and she slowly pulled off the paper, inside lay a crystal rose that had been engraved with little jewels, and the petals painted blue. Along with it, there was a brooch, much like the one Makoto had gotten on her nineteenth birthday, and Raye and Minako the same.
She pocketed it without opening it; she had more presents already placed in her lap. One from Raye, another from Minako, yet another a compilation from all the outer, and another from Michiru alone. The two had become close, and Ami smiled widely. A brown paper wrapped package landed on her lap, un-labeled, and curious, Ami opened it. A letter fell out.
"Ami dearest,
"I know that you'll be ready for this whenever you receive it. I sent this to Earth, to your mother, against Queen Serenity's wishes. I know that I shouldn't have, and that I may be in trouble for it, but I love you, and I want you to have this.
"I am your mother. Your true mother, the Queen of Mercury, but let's not bother with titles now, my daughter. I had a feeling that not all parents, or all people for the matter would be happy that Princess Makoto and yourself fell in love. But I do not care, and I wish you both the best of luck. I love you, darling. I also give your union my blessing, if your mother now will not.
"Have a good life, dear, you've earned it.
"Sincerely,
Mother
Queen Alexis."
Ami unwrapped to brown paper, to reveal shining silver paper covering another box. Somehow knowing what to do, Ami lay her hand over it, and the silver dissolved away.
There lay another piece of parchment, and underneath a silver necklace with an engraved sapphire the size of a quarter hanging from it, silver wrapped around it. The sapphire had the symbol of mercury carved into it, and while reading the paper, Makoto placed it around her lover's neck, where it melted into her skin, the symbol of Mercury remaining over her breastbone, and another glowed upon her forehead.
And suddenly, the changes began . . .her hair suddenly held silvery-blue streaks, and grew down to her mid-back, and her eyes turned from ocean-blue to silver. She grew about two inches taller, and her curves softened. Her clothes suddenly changed to a water-patterned gown, and a tiara of never- melting ice rested on the crown of her head. Earrings of the same ice magically appeared in completely new holes in her ears, the earrings were probably two inches long, and sparkled, catching even the dimmest light.
"Princess Aminakio!" Usagi grinned.
"Uh, Usa, it's just me, Ami. But that's my whole name. So many memories." Ami murmured as her memories of the past washed over her, and suddenly everything seemed to make sense, and she knew what she had to do . . .
(a/n: cliffie for y'all, am I getting too bold w/ my story? I'm starting to think so. Don't worry, Ames ain't gonna look weird forever . . .just most of the time. I'm taking some advice from Whiro, in certain respects, and you'll all find out about it! Hehe. Well, R&R. Thanks!)
