She was breathless.
She was afraid.
She was more than afraid.
Terrified?
Yes, that's what she was.
She was terrified.

Ami inhaled desperately, in an unsuccessful effort to control
her breathing. She couldn't understand it, her fear, her terror.
Nor could she understand why she'd run.
Originally she'd become separated from the others when the
crowd had surged against them. Ami had ended up pushed into a gap
between two of the display tents. She'd sighed, and moved further
back into the shadows before pulling out her communicator.
'Minako? I'll just make my way home now, ok?'
Minako's voice had come through to her, tinny, due to the small
speaker.
'But won't you come on more rides with us, aren't you having a
good time?'
Ami had smiled.
'Minako, I loved the fireworks, but these big shows really
aren't my thing, you know. Too many people. Just look at how we
were separated. You guys have fun, ok? I'll catch up with you
tomorrow.'
She'd started back out into the night, intending to head for
the showgrounds exit.
But then....
She'd seen him. Only a glimpse, only a flash of green eyes a
hint of golden hair. A face, one that both terrified and excited
her. One that was familiar, too, too familiar. But strangely, not
one known to her.
And in that instant she'd seen him, she realised that he had
also seen her.
And she too, was familiar to him.
And so, she'd run.
She was afraid.
She was more than afraid.
Terrified?
Yes, that's what she was.
She was terrified.
