Arise, Dear Quicksilver - Part 5
That afternoon, lessons rolled on as usual. Ami was busy writing an essay on a book that the class had finished, Serena was sat trying to think of a good opening paragraph, that was, in between mini daydreams about Darien and puzzling thoughts about what she saw at lunchtime. Why were they all around Ami? What did they want? Why was Darien such a hunk?
"Serena! Stop daydreaming!" yelled Haruna, Serena's teacher.
"Sorry Miss Haruna…" replied Serena, before diving nose-first into her essay. But something about Ami didn't seem to make sense, but Serena wasn't sure what.
Just then, the bell rang, signalling the end of the school day. Everyone rose to their feet, packed up their bags, and began to walk out. There were many murmurs from each group of people who stood outside the classrooms; one such group of people was Ami, Molly and Serena.
"That was essay was so boring!" moaned Serena, she hated essays more than any other part of schoolwork, with the possible exception of homework.
"I didn't think it was that boring, Serena," replied Molly, who had enjoyed the book that the entire class had been reading. "The tale of good people gone bad is rather interesting!"
"Yeah, but there was no romance, it was just excessive violence and swearing. I mean, where was the love?"
Just then, Ami cut in. "I thought the book was pretty good."
"You did?" replied an astonished Serena. She didn't think that the book would be to Ami's style.
"Yes, the tale was well written, the characters were detailed, and the plot…" Ami began, but she seemed to enter a dream world… "It was intriguing…"
"Intriguing?" came back Serena. "The guy killed his own best friend! How can that be intriguing?"
Serena never got an answer, as she was interrupted by a horde of guys approaching Ami, and a barrage of questions of whether or not she'd like to like to come to their place to do homework, a lot of them from people who don't even do their homework anyway. Ami gave a mixed reaction; she seemed flattered, but confused at the same time. The gang had taken Ami by surprise, and they had backed her into a corner, and she didn't know what to do.
"I… uh… um…" began Ami, she was now afraid, she didn't know what to do. Just then, a voice called over the top of the crowd.
"AMI!" it called. Ami looked up, and the large crowd of males looked behind them. It was Direnda. The male group murmured and whispered, as Direnda made his way through the group, towards Ami. Ami's face turned from nervous to relieved, as Direnda finally reached Ami. "Ami, if you'd please…" he added, offering his hand. "You're due for a photo session now…"
"I do?" replied a confused Ami.
"Yes, you do…" replied Direnda, with a subtle implication in his voice. Ami picked up on this, and answered.
"Oh yes… so I do!" she spoke, taking Direnda's hand, where he lead her out to an awaiting limousine. The crowd of people followed, as Direnda held open the door, and Ami dived in, followed by Direnda, who shut the door before anyone could look inside. After barking some orders to the driver, the limousine pulled away from the school grounds. As the limosuine pulled away, Ami let loose a sigh of relief. "Whew, thank goodness that's over… thank you, Direnda…"
"It's no problem," answered Direnda, as the limosuine pulled up outside Ami's house. Direnda held open the door, and Ami climbed out. As she climbed out, he touched her hand, and she turned, and he smiled, and softly spoke, "We should do this again some time."
Ami chuckled. "Yes, we should,"
"Tomorrow, say… 7:00?"
"Sounds fine to me."
"Goodnight, Ami"
"Goodnight!" Ami smiled back. As Direnda closed the door, and the limosuine pulled away, Ami let out a sigh, before opening the door to her house. Her mother wasn't home, as expected. Ami made her way to her bedroom, and sat on the bed, thinking about the day she's had just been through. The whole experience which would have normally scared Ami, she had enjoyed. In fact, she enjoyed it so much, she was going to wear the same sort of clothes to school… tomorrow…
"BEEP BEEP! BEEP BEEP!" It was her communicator. Quickly picking it up, Ami activated it. It was Luna.
"Luna!" exclaimed Ami
"Ami, hurry over to the temple quickly, we need you, the Negaverse is attacking again!" quickly ordered Luna.
"I'll be right there!" replied Ami, as Luna cut the transmission. Ami quickly hurried out of the house, and began to hurry across to the temple, on the other side of town. As Ami drew closer and closer to the temple, a feeling began to overcome her. She didn't feel comfortable. He sprint was slowly reduced to nothing more than a jog, as the feeling overcame her. As Ami arrived at the steps of the temple, the feeling had not just overcome her, it felt like it was weighing her down, when an explosion shot from the top of the steps, and down the steps came the rest of the scouts, all fleeing from another random Negaverse creep. As the rest of the scouts reached the bottom of the steps, followed by Luna and Artemis.
"Sorry I'm late…" began Ami.
"Ami, hurry and transform, we need some assistance!" began Luna.
"Guys, I'm getting a strange feeling about this place…"
"We don't have time, come on!" hurried Luna.
Ami sighed, and held up her crystal wand, and shouted "Mercury… Star… POWER!"
