=======================================================================
"IEL!!! Ami, did you have to do that? Juck! Clean it up." "I can't I feel to sick." "You were throwing up, not me. You had been drinking too much, not me. Now you are gonna clean that up, not me!" Rei forgot al about the sobbing and turned the lights on. Irritated she walked into the bedroom to change her clothes.
She had already put on some other jeans but she was still looking for a shirt when she noticed a person lying on one of the beds. She was lying on her tummy, her head was buried in her pillow and her hands where under it.
"Makoto?" The girl slowly got up, while her head kept facing the pillow. Rei could see how she tried to dry her tears with the back of her hand. Now Rei was for sure it was Makoto.
The bra-girl went to sit down next to her friend. She wrapped her arm around the crying girl and pulled her closer. "Hey... Did you leave because of what Ami said?" Makoto relaxed a bit, thanks to the tone which her friend spoke with. Still staring at the pillow she nodded.
"But she is right, you know. She's right, Rei. She's ri..." "Stop it! You're torturing yourself... Don't!" "But Rei, it's true. I left my sister there. She died there, without any loved ones around her... And besides, I regret that I didn't see her die. For now, I still have hope. But I know it's false. I can't hope for her to still be alive. She died, my aunt told me so. But still... a small part of me is hoping for her to come back in my life." At that Makoto bursts out in tears and let her head rest on her friends' shoulder. Rei placed one of her hands on Mako's head and gently stroked her hair. Makoto could feel how her friend rested cheek at her head. This feeling made her calm down.
"What's going on in he-EEEEEEEEEEE..." *BANG* The two girls were surprised by the blue girl, who was falling into the room. "You think Ami is okay? ... Rei?" "I guess. I'm gonna put her in bed. After that, I wanna chat with you some more."
As Rei put the drunk girl in bed, Makoto was looking at her with a big sweat drop crossing her face. "Uuhm... Rei?" The girl turned around to give her friend a respond. "What's the matter?" "Did you notice? ... You are walking around in your bra!"
She smiled weakly with a colour crossing her face. "Uh... I guess I forgot." Rei took a little sprint to the place where all of her clothes were and gripped the first t-shirt that reached her hands. She put it on and sat down next to her friend again.
"Mako? Do you have any idea how you can close that chapter of your life?" Makoto gave her friend a confused look. This gave Rei a reason to continue her questioning. "I mean... uhm. Is there any possibility you can be sure about your sisters' death?" The down girls eyes turned glassy and her lip started shaking. "To bring yourself in peace about it, I mean." Rei said quickly.
"Well... Yes actually. I chose to go to Belgium, not without a reason." All the girls had picked out a place they absolutely wanted to go. Minako picked London, Usagi chose for the romance of Paris, Rei wanted to do some guy-hunting in Salou, Ami preferred the history of Rome and Makoto... Makoto couldn't look into her friends' eyes anymore. She closed her eyes and left her head hanging. "Why did you want to go to Belgium, Mako? For the rest of us... the choices were predictable, but we were surprised at yours."
Makoto lifted up her head and locked her eyes with Rei's. The raven haired girl noticed the wet cheeks of her friend and she saw how another tear escaped her friends' eye.
"The plane crashed in Belgium. From the place it crashed I could see the beach of Belgium. And the Hospital of Antwerp was the last place I saw her alive."
"Ow Mako... I didn't know. I'm sorry." The brunette needed the hug she got from her friend and was very thankful for it. "You don't need to be sorry, Rei. I'm glad you listened to me." Her smile made Rei feel a little better about it all.
Makoto chanced the subject by saying: "Where are Minako and Usagi?"
Rei broke the hug and jumped up. "OW SHIT! I forgot all about them. They were looking for you, I was going to join the search after Ami was save in her bed. But I found you before I started looking." She smiled at the last line she gave her friend.
"Where are they now?" Makoto asked while walking after the girl in a rush. "They are waiting for me before the hotel to tell me the sad news they didn't found you yet." Rei smiled at her following friend, who had a questioning look on her face. "You all went searching for ME?"
The leading girl stopped at this which made the other walk into her. She turned around and placed her hands on the questioned girls' shoulders. "Of course we did that. We are friends. We care about you and besides... you would have done the same for us." Makoto nodded at this. The girls continued their way out to the entrees of the hotel.
"REI! Finally there you are. Where were you all this time? It took you so long to tuck Ami i.? ... MAKOTO!!!" Usagi embraced her friend like she would never let go. Almost immediately after that, Mako felt two arms being wrapped around her from the side. She placed her hands on the backs of her friends and tightened the grip for a closer muddy hug.
"We were so worried. Where were you?" Makoto had to smile and blush at the concern of her friends. "I was in the hotel the whole time, Mina. I'm sorry to make you girls worry."
The girls walked back to their room, exhausted of the long night.
"I WANNA GO INTO THE BATHROOM FIRST!" "NO, I have the right to go first; I FOUND MAKO!" "You had your chance to take a shower, now it's my turn." "I had more important business to take care off." "Oh yeah? LIKE WHAT?" "I'm not telling..." "See... you didn't have anything better to do." "IT'S SOMETHING BETWEEN ME AND MAKOTO, OKAY?" At this Usagi calmed down and stopped pushing Rei aside. "Okay." The blonde stepped out of her friends' way to let her go into the bathroom first.
"Now that was nice, Usagi. Since when do you let Rei win a fight?" Makoto was watching the two girls arguing from a little distance. The blonde princess turned around to face her tall friend and answered her with a friendly smile, "Only today... Makoto?" "Yeah?" "Are you alright? I mean, you were missing. We were worried, why did you leave?" Her smile faded when a sign of sadness appeared in her esmerald green eyes. "First of all; I wasn't missing, I was here the whole time. Second; you didn't have to worry about me, like I told before. Third; I don't know why, I just didn't wanted to be there anymore. I guess I needed to be alone for a moment."
After the girls took a shower and gave Ami a lot of water, so she wouldn't have a headache in the morning, they went to bed and wished each other good night.
"Ouch, I feel sick!" Ami reached for the bucket that one of her friends had put down next to her bed last night.
"Hey you guys, look... Our sleeping beauty finally decided to wake up." Minako pointed at her puking friend while she was eating her breakfast.
"Ami! Would you stop that? You're ruining my appetite." "It's impossible to ruin your appetite." Rei said to her princess with a laughing but teasing tone in her voice.
Minako stood up from the dinner table and walked over to her blue haired friend. "Are you okay? You don't look so well. Did you have a nice nap? It's 3.00 PM, you almost slept the day away." The blonde smiled at her friend but didn't get a respond. The sick girl was staring at her sad looking friend. The energetic blond blocked Ami's view and made her friend look at her. "Ami? ... Take a shower. You look like hell!" (Silence) "And smell like hell as well. Oh, that line had a lot of L's in it." Minako had to laugh at her own joke as Ami stood up and walked over to the bathroom.
"I think I'll go for a walk." The girl who was happy to escape Ami's stair, stood up from the table to walk away. Rei followed her lead and walked after her friend to stop her. "Makoto, you can't run away from her. I know Ami hurtled you, but I don't think she meant to. The look on her face could tell how sorry she was. Please Mako, give her a chance." "I just want to go for a walk, that's all. Don't make such a scene of it." Irritated Makoto pushed her friend aside and kept on walking. "Uhm... Mako? Do you mind if I walk with you?" Rei locked her worried eyes with the esmerald eyes in front of her. She was finally able to stop her friend from walking on. The shorter girl saw how tears formed in the pretty but sad looking eyes of her tall friend. The brunette slowly shacked her head from left, to right and back. Rei smiled at this. "Good."
The shower stopped and Ami walked out of the bathroom in her clean clothes. Her head was down and silent tears escaped her eyes. "Ow Ami! ... You smell a lot better. But you still look like hell! Why are you so sad?" The depressed girl didn't answer at Minako's question. The two blondes moved from their position on the floor to where their friend was standing.
"Ami? Are you okay?" Usagi placed a comforting hand on the blue girls shoulder and waited for a respond. The words her wet friend spoke at her question didn't sound like a real answer to the blond. "Where is Makoto?"
The comforting girls sighed and gave each other a questioning look. Usagi decided to explain the sad girl where her friend was. "She's with our leader wannabe. They went for a walk. Why do you ask?" Ami lowered her head even deeper and sat down at the side of her bed. Her hands were resting in her lap. "Because I said some stupid things to her last night. I'm very sorry of it and I think I have hurt her feelings." "Uh? What do you mean, Ami?" The Blue girl raise her head to face Usagi and spoke: "I'd rather talk to Makoto about that, if you don't mind." Before the blondes could give their respond, Ami was hanging above her bucket again. "We don't mind." Minako said as the blondes backed away from the throwing up girl.
"Mako, I think we should go back now. We have been walking around in circles for the last half hour." "I guess you're right. But... What if she speaks to me?" "You open your mouth and then you form words with your lips and tongue and make sounds with your voice. If you have done that... POEF! The words come out." Makoto gave her friend an angry look and she backed away. "Sorry Mako, I didn't know you would be mad." The tall brunette sighed at her words. "I'm sorry Rei. I just don't know what to say." "You don't have to talk, she has. She hurtled your feelings, so she talks. You just answer her with your emotion and first reaction." (Silence) "No, don't answer with your first reaction. Knowing you, that wouldn't be smart." "What do you mean by that?" "Oh look," Rei pointed at a random place in the sky, "a dead bird." "Very funny, Rei. But my name is not Usagi." The temple girl laughed at her friends' answer which also made a smile appear at Makoto's face. "Finally, a smile. It took me a while to get that done, but I have done it again." The brunette laughed harder at the silly act of her friend.
After a couple of minutes, Rei and Makoto entered their hotel room. As Ami saw them enter she got up and walked over to the tall girl she had some apologies to give. She stopped at an arm length of the girl and spoke to her while she was facing the floor. "Uhm... Makoto? Can we talk? I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, I've been so stupid. I shou..." She was cut off by a finger at her lips. "Stop your monologue. Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Makoto turned around to walk out threw the door. Until a hand on her shoulder stopped her. "You don't have to, Mako. Minako, Usagi and I are going to get an ice cream. You and Ami can stay here to talk." The esmerald eyes gave an expression like they were betrayed and they were screaming to not be left alone. Rei saw this look and continued her talking, "It's okay. We'll be right back. It's not like she's gonna bite or something." At her last words, Rei closed the door behind her... Makoto was left alone with Ami. "I'm not afraid of her!" She mumbeled in herself.
"Mako? Uhm..." Ami was speechless, she was staring at the floor, her face had a crimson colour of embarrassment and her tears kept on falling. But even though, she tried to continue, "I-I'm s-sorry." The shorter girl lifted her head up to look in her friends eyes. She wanted to know if the tall girl was angry or sad or something else.
'Eyes are the windows of the soul,'
'They can tell what the real emotions of a person are.'
'Eyes can not lie!'
'That's why I look for a reaction in those esmerald beauties.'
Ami saw how the hurt friend in front of her showed some tears, which made the blue girl only feel worse. "It's okay, Ami. You were right. I am a bitch for doing such a stupid thing. Why in the world did I leave her there? You are so right. And I know you were speaking from your heart, 'cause drunk people tell the truth. They tell exactly what they think. And so you did. You can apologise, but you are right, so you don't have to." Makoto stopped her talking and walked over to the window. When she got there, she stared outside. Her right hand was resting against the cool glass. Her other hand was turned into a fist and was positioned right before her chest.
"No, no, no, no... That's not right, Makoto" The older girl walked after the younger one in frond of the window. She placed a comforting hand on the other girls' right shoulder, while moving closer from behind.
"I didn't mean it. I mean... Uhm... I mean..." She sighed and then continued. "You're right. You did a stupid thing, but still... I shouldn't have hurt your feelings. You are a great person and I know you would never do something like that again. You are stronger now." Ami rested her head at her friends' back and took the balled fist into her own.
"I'm sorry, Mako. I really am." (Silence) "Please, Mako. Please, react. I'm trying to apologise here. Please, stop ignoring me. If you would just react. It doesn't matter how, it doesn't matter what you say, I want to know what you are thinking. Even if you would tell me to get lost, even if you would tell me you never want to see me again, I DON'T CARE! If you would just react. Please, I want to know where I stand."
Ami's grip on Makoto's shirt tightened as she started crying louder. "DAMN IT, MAKO! I know you hate me, you have to. What I said was just so wrong. I'm never going to drink again. NEVER! I'm to afraid I will hurt one of my friends again. I can't do that. I won't do that ever again. I'm so sorry, Makoto. Call me names. Do with me what you want, I DON'T CARE! Please, tell me how much you hate me. I can handle it, I can understand. I would also hate the person who dares to give criticism on me if it comes to the deforester of my mom and dad. I know... With painful things like that... Nobody should treat a person like that."
The raving girl pushed herself away from her friend. She started walking backwards, away from Makoto. The tall girl turned around to look at the genius, who didn't sound so smart at the moment. Between her sobs, Ami continued: "HURT ME! Makoto. KICK ME, PUNCH ME!!! Do what you're good at. But stop looking at me like that. I HATE MYSELF, I don't understand why you didn't say it to me, yet. Please, Makoto... Let it be over, tell me what kind of a bad friend I am. TELL ME YOU HATE ME!!!"
Ami let herself fall down on her knees and was hitting the floor with her fists. With a lot of sadness and pain she screamed on; "TELL ME, MAKO. TELL ME YOU HATE ME! I KNOW I'M A BAD PERSON. THAT'S WHY MY DAD LEFT!!!"
The over-reactor wanted to continue but was stopped by a hand on her arm and another one that gently pulled her chin up. The sapphire eyes were now locked with the esmerald viewers. She could feel the warmth of the hand on her arm slowly moving to behind her back. And two strong arms pulled her closer as they found their way around her. A wet cheek pressed against hers and the shaking lips of her friend started to whisper in her ear.
"Stop it, Ami. I'm sorry too. And you're not a bad person..." "But I said terrible hurting things to you and..." "Calm down, calm down... it's okay. I forgive you. if you stop talking nonsense." "What nonsense?" "Like you are a bad person and it's your fault your father left... It's not because of you, I'm sure of it." "How would you know?" "I just know... How could anybody leave a sweet, intelligent and gentle person like you?"
The broken girl was speechless and finally hugged her friend back. She burried her face in her friends' shirt. The warmth and comfort of her friend made her feel calm. She deeply sighed of relief.
"Hey, Ami? Should we get an ice cream as well and look for the other girls?" The blue girl smiled at this sudden chance of subject. "Sure, why not... Mako, look at me." The girls lost their grip on each other and started laughing when they saw their faces. "Don't you think you should first clean your face? You cried so much, you look like hell." "Well thanks a lot, Ami. You think you are pretty when your face looks like a-a ... strawberry-pie" Ami started laughing at her friends' word choice. Even when she tried to insult someone, her obsession for food was obvious. "Well, come on. Let's hurry a little, we have wasted to much time to this bullshit. We are leaving tomorrow." Ami's sadness had turned into a giggling mood. And she was laughing out loud when her friend dragged her to the bathroom.
The five girls came back from their ice cream eating adventure. The girls had bumped into each other at the entrence of 'Icy Moon' the ice cream shop. After that the girls went shopping together and had a lovely last day in London.
With a sigh Usagi let herself fall backwards on her bed. "I'm hungry." The only reaction she got were four rolling eyes and four friends who turned their back at her. "Mako? Can't you make us something?" The tall cooking genius sighed and answered her friend; "Usagi, look around... Do you see any opportunity for me to cook?" "WHOA, THERE'S NO FOOD!!! WE'RE GONNA STARVE!" And the eyeballs kept on rolling.
"Usagi, I think you forgot but... We have been eating in a restaurant a half hour ago. So, I don't think we are gonna starve." Ami looked up from her book, giggling about Minako's answer to the other blondes' ridiculous action.
"Your giggling mood still isn't over, is it Ami?" Makoto spoke to her friend with a smile from ear to ear. The giggling girl nodded.
"So girls? What do you think of London? And how did you like my tour?" "London is okay. I just don't like the pubs... BUT I LEARNED MY LESSON! I won't drink that much again." The four other girls laughed at Ami's answer. "Yeah, yeah, sure. It's okay now, Ami. Let's forget about it. You don't have to apologise anymore." The brunette said with laughter in her voice.
"Come on, girls. We have to hurry. Our train leaves in 30 minutes... U- SAAAAAAAAA-GIIIIII!!!" "What?" "Stop eating and finish your packing!" "Rei, you're so mean. I'm hungry." "You're always hungry." "I'm not." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." "." "."
"I really wish that stewardess was here!" Makoto and Ami nodded in agreement with their blond friend.
After a lot of pressure from Rei, Usagi managed to get her packing done in time. The girls didn't travel to Paris by plane. Ami had found out there was a train going from London to France, so they took the train.
"Thank God! Not a plane this time!"
======================================================================== Awww. well wasn't that cute?! Tell me what you think. But don't expect my next chapter soon. I have no idea what to writ and how: a so called 'writers block' (damn) But anyways. thanks for all your nice reviews (for the people who gave them) and please: keep on reviewing, it gives me inspiration :p
=======================================================================
"IEL!!! Ami, did you have to do that? Juck! Clean it up." "I can't I feel to sick." "You were throwing up, not me. You had been drinking too much, not me. Now you are gonna clean that up, not me!" Rei forgot al about the sobbing and turned the lights on. Irritated she walked into the bedroom to change her clothes.
She had already put on some other jeans but she was still looking for a shirt when she noticed a person lying on one of the beds. She was lying on her tummy, her head was buried in her pillow and her hands where under it.
"Makoto?" The girl slowly got up, while her head kept facing the pillow. Rei could see how she tried to dry her tears with the back of her hand. Now Rei was for sure it was Makoto.
The bra-girl went to sit down next to her friend. She wrapped her arm around the crying girl and pulled her closer. "Hey... Did you leave because of what Ami said?" Makoto relaxed a bit, thanks to the tone which her friend spoke with. Still staring at the pillow she nodded.
"But she is right, you know. She's right, Rei. She's ri..." "Stop it! You're torturing yourself... Don't!" "But Rei, it's true. I left my sister there. She died there, without any loved ones around her... And besides, I regret that I didn't see her die. For now, I still have hope. But I know it's false. I can't hope for her to still be alive. She died, my aunt told me so. But still... a small part of me is hoping for her to come back in my life." At that Makoto bursts out in tears and let her head rest on her friends' shoulder. Rei placed one of her hands on Mako's head and gently stroked her hair. Makoto could feel how her friend rested cheek at her head. This feeling made her calm down.
"What's going on in he-EEEEEEEEEEE..." *BANG* The two girls were surprised by the blue girl, who was falling into the room. "You think Ami is okay? ... Rei?" "I guess. I'm gonna put her in bed. After that, I wanna chat with you some more."
As Rei put the drunk girl in bed, Makoto was looking at her with a big sweat drop crossing her face. "Uuhm... Rei?" The girl turned around to give her friend a respond. "What's the matter?" "Did you notice? ... You are walking around in your bra!"
She smiled weakly with a colour crossing her face. "Uh... I guess I forgot." Rei took a little sprint to the place where all of her clothes were and gripped the first t-shirt that reached her hands. She put it on and sat down next to her friend again.
"Mako? Do you have any idea how you can close that chapter of your life?" Makoto gave her friend a confused look. This gave Rei a reason to continue her questioning. "I mean... uhm. Is there any possibility you can be sure about your sisters' death?" The down girls eyes turned glassy and her lip started shaking. "To bring yourself in peace about it, I mean." Rei said quickly.
"Well... Yes actually. I chose to go to Belgium, not without a reason." All the girls had picked out a place they absolutely wanted to go. Minako picked London, Usagi chose for the romance of Paris, Rei wanted to do some guy-hunting in Salou, Ami preferred the history of Rome and Makoto... Makoto couldn't look into her friends' eyes anymore. She closed her eyes and left her head hanging. "Why did you want to go to Belgium, Mako? For the rest of us... the choices were predictable, but we were surprised at yours."
Makoto lifted up her head and locked her eyes with Rei's. The raven haired girl noticed the wet cheeks of her friend and she saw how another tear escaped her friends' eye.
"The plane crashed in Belgium. From the place it crashed I could see the beach of Belgium. And the Hospital of Antwerp was the last place I saw her alive."
"Ow Mako... I didn't know. I'm sorry." The brunette needed the hug she got from her friend and was very thankful for it. "You don't need to be sorry, Rei. I'm glad you listened to me." Her smile made Rei feel a little better about it all.
Makoto chanced the subject by saying: "Where are Minako and Usagi?"
Rei broke the hug and jumped up. "OW SHIT! I forgot all about them. They were looking for you, I was going to join the search after Ami was save in her bed. But I found you before I started looking." She smiled at the last line she gave her friend.
"Where are they now?" Makoto asked while walking after the girl in a rush. "They are waiting for me before the hotel to tell me the sad news they didn't found you yet." Rei smiled at her following friend, who had a questioning look on her face. "You all went searching for ME?"
The leading girl stopped at this which made the other walk into her. She turned around and placed her hands on the questioned girls' shoulders. "Of course we did that. We are friends. We care about you and besides... you would have done the same for us." Makoto nodded at this. The girls continued their way out to the entrees of the hotel.
"REI! Finally there you are. Where were you all this time? It took you so long to tuck Ami i.? ... MAKOTO!!!" Usagi embraced her friend like she would never let go. Almost immediately after that, Mako felt two arms being wrapped around her from the side. She placed her hands on the backs of her friends and tightened the grip for a closer muddy hug.
"We were so worried. Where were you?" Makoto had to smile and blush at the concern of her friends. "I was in the hotel the whole time, Mina. I'm sorry to make you girls worry."
The girls walked back to their room, exhausted of the long night.
"I WANNA GO INTO THE BATHROOM FIRST!" "NO, I have the right to go first; I FOUND MAKO!" "You had your chance to take a shower, now it's my turn." "I had more important business to take care off." "Oh yeah? LIKE WHAT?" "I'm not telling..." "See... you didn't have anything better to do." "IT'S SOMETHING BETWEEN ME AND MAKOTO, OKAY?" At this Usagi calmed down and stopped pushing Rei aside. "Okay." The blonde stepped out of her friends' way to let her go into the bathroom first.
"Now that was nice, Usagi. Since when do you let Rei win a fight?" Makoto was watching the two girls arguing from a little distance. The blonde princess turned around to face her tall friend and answered her with a friendly smile, "Only today... Makoto?" "Yeah?" "Are you alright? I mean, you were missing. We were worried, why did you leave?" Her smile faded when a sign of sadness appeared in her esmerald green eyes. "First of all; I wasn't missing, I was here the whole time. Second; you didn't have to worry about me, like I told before. Third; I don't know why, I just didn't wanted to be there anymore. I guess I needed to be alone for a moment."
After the girls took a shower and gave Ami a lot of water, so she wouldn't have a headache in the morning, they went to bed and wished each other good night.
"Ouch, I feel sick!" Ami reached for the bucket that one of her friends had put down next to her bed last night.
"Hey you guys, look... Our sleeping beauty finally decided to wake up." Minako pointed at her puking friend while she was eating her breakfast.
"Ami! Would you stop that? You're ruining my appetite." "It's impossible to ruin your appetite." Rei said to her princess with a laughing but teasing tone in her voice.
Minako stood up from the dinner table and walked over to her blue haired friend. "Are you okay? You don't look so well. Did you have a nice nap? It's 3.00 PM, you almost slept the day away." The blonde smiled at her friend but didn't get a respond. The sick girl was staring at her sad looking friend. The energetic blond blocked Ami's view and made her friend look at her. "Ami? ... Take a shower. You look like hell!" (Silence) "And smell like hell as well. Oh, that line had a lot of L's in it." Minako had to laugh at her own joke as Ami stood up and walked over to the bathroom.
"I think I'll go for a walk." The girl who was happy to escape Ami's stair, stood up from the table to walk away. Rei followed her lead and walked after her friend to stop her. "Makoto, you can't run away from her. I know Ami hurtled you, but I don't think she meant to. The look on her face could tell how sorry she was. Please Mako, give her a chance." "I just want to go for a walk, that's all. Don't make such a scene of it." Irritated Makoto pushed her friend aside and kept on walking. "Uhm... Mako? Do you mind if I walk with you?" Rei locked her worried eyes with the esmerald eyes in front of her. She was finally able to stop her friend from walking on. The shorter girl saw how tears formed in the pretty but sad looking eyes of her tall friend. The brunette slowly shacked her head from left, to right and back. Rei smiled at this. "Good."
The shower stopped and Ami walked out of the bathroom in her clean clothes. Her head was down and silent tears escaped her eyes. "Ow Ami! ... You smell a lot better. But you still look like hell! Why are you so sad?" The depressed girl didn't answer at Minako's question. The two blondes moved from their position on the floor to where their friend was standing.
"Ami? Are you okay?" Usagi placed a comforting hand on the blue girls shoulder and waited for a respond. The words her wet friend spoke at her question didn't sound like a real answer to the blond. "Where is Makoto?"
The comforting girls sighed and gave each other a questioning look. Usagi decided to explain the sad girl where her friend was. "She's with our leader wannabe. They went for a walk. Why do you ask?" Ami lowered her head even deeper and sat down at the side of her bed. Her hands were resting in her lap. "Because I said some stupid things to her last night. I'm very sorry of it and I think I have hurt her feelings." "Uh? What do you mean, Ami?" The Blue girl raise her head to face Usagi and spoke: "I'd rather talk to Makoto about that, if you don't mind." Before the blondes could give their respond, Ami was hanging above her bucket again. "We don't mind." Minako said as the blondes backed away from the throwing up girl.
"Mako, I think we should go back now. We have been walking around in circles for the last half hour." "I guess you're right. But... What if she speaks to me?" "You open your mouth and then you form words with your lips and tongue and make sounds with your voice. If you have done that... POEF! The words come out." Makoto gave her friend an angry look and she backed away. "Sorry Mako, I didn't know you would be mad." The tall brunette sighed at her words. "I'm sorry Rei. I just don't know what to say." "You don't have to talk, she has. She hurtled your feelings, so she talks. You just answer her with your emotion and first reaction." (Silence) "No, don't answer with your first reaction. Knowing you, that wouldn't be smart." "What do you mean by that?" "Oh look," Rei pointed at a random place in the sky, "a dead bird." "Very funny, Rei. But my name is not Usagi." The temple girl laughed at her friends' answer which also made a smile appear at Makoto's face. "Finally, a smile. It took me a while to get that done, but I have done it again." The brunette laughed harder at the silly act of her friend.
After a couple of minutes, Rei and Makoto entered their hotel room. As Ami saw them enter she got up and walked over to the tall girl she had some apologies to give. She stopped at an arm length of the girl and spoke to her while she was facing the floor. "Uhm... Makoto? Can we talk? I owe you an apology. I'm sorry, I've been so stupid. I shou..." She was cut off by a finger at her lips. "Stop your monologue. Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Makoto turned around to walk out threw the door. Until a hand on her shoulder stopped her. "You don't have to, Mako. Minako, Usagi and I are going to get an ice cream. You and Ami can stay here to talk." The esmerald eyes gave an expression like they were betrayed and they were screaming to not be left alone. Rei saw this look and continued her talking, "It's okay. We'll be right back. It's not like she's gonna bite or something." At her last words, Rei closed the door behind her... Makoto was left alone with Ami. "I'm not afraid of her!" She mumbeled in herself.
"Mako? Uhm..." Ami was speechless, she was staring at the floor, her face had a crimson colour of embarrassment and her tears kept on falling. But even though, she tried to continue, "I-I'm s-sorry." The shorter girl lifted her head up to look in her friends eyes. She wanted to know if the tall girl was angry or sad or something else.
'Eyes are the windows of the soul,'
'They can tell what the real emotions of a person are.'
'Eyes can not lie!'
'That's why I look for a reaction in those esmerald beauties.'
Ami saw how the hurt friend in front of her showed some tears, which made the blue girl only feel worse. "It's okay, Ami. You were right. I am a bitch for doing such a stupid thing. Why in the world did I leave her there? You are so right. And I know you were speaking from your heart, 'cause drunk people tell the truth. They tell exactly what they think. And so you did. You can apologise, but you are right, so you don't have to." Makoto stopped her talking and walked over to the window. When she got there, she stared outside. Her right hand was resting against the cool glass. Her other hand was turned into a fist and was positioned right before her chest.
"No, no, no, no... That's not right, Makoto" The older girl walked after the younger one in frond of the window. She placed a comforting hand on the other girls' right shoulder, while moving closer from behind.
"I didn't mean it. I mean... Uhm... I mean..." She sighed and then continued. "You're right. You did a stupid thing, but still... I shouldn't have hurt your feelings. You are a great person and I know you would never do something like that again. You are stronger now." Ami rested her head at her friends' back and took the balled fist into her own.
"I'm sorry, Mako. I really am." (Silence) "Please, Mako. Please, react. I'm trying to apologise here. Please, stop ignoring me. If you would just react. It doesn't matter how, it doesn't matter what you say, I want to know what you are thinking. Even if you would tell me to get lost, even if you would tell me you never want to see me again, I DON'T CARE! If you would just react. Please, I want to know where I stand."
Ami's grip on Makoto's shirt tightened as she started crying louder. "DAMN IT, MAKO! I know you hate me, you have to. What I said was just so wrong. I'm never going to drink again. NEVER! I'm to afraid I will hurt one of my friends again. I can't do that. I won't do that ever again. I'm so sorry, Makoto. Call me names. Do with me what you want, I DON'T CARE! Please, tell me how much you hate me. I can handle it, I can understand. I would also hate the person who dares to give criticism on me if it comes to the deforester of my mom and dad. I know... With painful things like that... Nobody should treat a person like that."
The raving girl pushed herself away from her friend. She started walking backwards, away from Makoto. The tall girl turned around to look at the genius, who didn't sound so smart at the moment. Between her sobs, Ami continued: "HURT ME! Makoto. KICK ME, PUNCH ME!!! Do what you're good at. But stop looking at me like that. I HATE MYSELF, I don't understand why you didn't say it to me, yet. Please, Makoto... Let it be over, tell me what kind of a bad friend I am. TELL ME YOU HATE ME!!!"
Ami let herself fall down on her knees and was hitting the floor with her fists. With a lot of sadness and pain she screamed on; "TELL ME, MAKO. TELL ME YOU HATE ME! I KNOW I'M A BAD PERSON. THAT'S WHY MY DAD LEFT!!!"
The over-reactor wanted to continue but was stopped by a hand on her arm and another one that gently pulled her chin up. The sapphire eyes were now locked with the esmerald viewers. She could feel the warmth of the hand on her arm slowly moving to behind her back. And two strong arms pulled her closer as they found their way around her. A wet cheek pressed against hers and the shaking lips of her friend started to whisper in her ear.
"Stop it, Ami. I'm sorry too. And you're not a bad person..." "But I said terrible hurting things to you and..." "Calm down, calm down... it's okay. I forgive you. if you stop talking nonsense." "What nonsense?" "Like you are a bad person and it's your fault your father left... It's not because of you, I'm sure of it." "How would you know?" "I just know... How could anybody leave a sweet, intelligent and gentle person like you?"
The broken girl was speechless and finally hugged her friend back. She burried her face in her friends' shirt. The warmth and comfort of her friend made her feel calm. She deeply sighed of relief.
"Hey, Ami? Should we get an ice cream as well and look for the other girls?" The blue girl smiled at this sudden chance of subject. "Sure, why not... Mako, look at me." The girls lost their grip on each other and started laughing when they saw their faces. "Don't you think you should first clean your face? You cried so much, you look like hell." "Well thanks a lot, Ami. You think you are pretty when your face looks like a-a ... strawberry-pie" Ami started laughing at her friends' word choice. Even when she tried to insult someone, her obsession for food was obvious. "Well, come on. Let's hurry a little, we have wasted to much time to this bullshit. We are leaving tomorrow." Ami's sadness had turned into a giggling mood. And she was laughing out loud when her friend dragged her to the bathroom.
The five girls came back from their ice cream eating adventure. The girls had bumped into each other at the entrence of 'Icy Moon' the ice cream shop. After that the girls went shopping together and had a lovely last day in London.
With a sigh Usagi let herself fall backwards on her bed. "I'm hungry." The only reaction she got were four rolling eyes and four friends who turned their back at her. "Mako? Can't you make us something?" The tall cooking genius sighed and answered her friend; "Usagi, look around... Do you see any opportunity for me to cook?" "WHOA, THERE'S NO FOOD!!! WE'RE GONNA STARVE!" And the eyeballs kept on rolling.
"Usagi, I think you forgot but... We have been eating in a restaurant a half hour ago. So, I don't think we are gonna starve." Ami looked up from her book, giggling about Minako's answer to the other blondes' ridiculous action.
"Your giggling mood still isn't over, is it Ami?" Makoto spoke to her friend with a smile from ear to ear. The giggling girl nodded.
"So girls? What do you think of London? And how did you like my tour?" "London is okay. I just don't like the pubs... BUT I LEARNED MY LESSON! I won't drink that much again." The four other girls laughed at Ami's answer. "Yeah, yeah, sure. It's okay now, Ami. Let's forget about it. You don't have to apologise anymore." The brunette said with laughter in her voice.
"Come on, girls. We have to hurry. Our train leaves in 30 minutes... U- SAAAAAAAAA-GIIIIII!!!" "What?" "Stop eating and finish your packing!" "Rei, you're so mean. I'm hungry." "You're always hungry." "I'm not." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." "Yes, you are." "No, I'm not." "." "."
"I really wish that stewardess was here!" Makoto and Ami nodded in agreement with their blond friend.
After a lot of pressure from Rei, Usagi managed to get her packing done in time. The girls didn't travel to Paris by plane. Ami had found out there was a train going from London to France, so they took the train.
"Thank God! Not a plane this time!"
