Amy

"Amy." Someone was saying her name. "Amy." Shaking her head from
side to side to shake out the cobwebs, she looked up into gorgeous
brown eyes. The kind of eyes you could drown in and would follow
anywhere. "You're awake." the voice said full of relief.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Amy asked, sitting up
in her bed. She was wearing a black dress that she didn't remember
putting on. The thing she put on was the suit before the funeral...

"It's me, Robert. You fainted in my car and I brought you in."
Robert said putting his hand on Amy's.

"Sorry, Robert. I guess my mind wanted to black everything out." Amy
said thinking of the woman's revelations. "Did you know about her?"

"No," Robert said, shaking his head, "she was as much of a shock to
me as she was to you."

"Thanks for getting me in here." Amy said, shakily getting on her
feet. She managed a few shaky steps before Robert put his hand up.

"Sit down! I'll see myself out." Robert said, collecting his jacket
on the way out.

Hearing the door slam, Amy was left to her thoughts. 'He's such a
nice man.' Amy thought as she went into her kitchen to get something
to eat. The kitchen was small, but homey. Done in blue and white, it
suited Amy just fine. The refrigerator and cupboards were always
stocked, incase Serena ever came over. Smiling, she opened the
fridge and grabbed something to drink. Looking at the table, she saw
a rose in a vase. 'I wonder how that got here...'

The telephone rang, jarring Amy from her thoughts. "Hello? Oh, hi
Mina. Everything's fine. No, I don't need you to come over. Why
don't you keep what's-his-name busy? Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Bye." Amy hung up the telephone. She was glad Mina was concerned,
although her mind was obviously elsewhere. Mina's usually bright
tone was now somewhat dark.

Taking a second look at the rose, she realized that it was aqua-
colored. 'An aqua rose? I wonder where this came from...'

Robert

Robert was walking in the park. He didn't know what possessed him to
leave a rose. 'She'll eventually figure out my heritage.' He
remembered the Mercurian princess from the Silver Millennium when
him and Greg were brothers. Since Greg was older, *he* had been
betrothed to Princess Amy. Robert was the younger brother waiting in
the wings, due to inherit his father's title because Greg would
inherit Amy's title. Fate was unfair, and didn't deal him a much
better hand this time.

Slumping on a bench, Robert sighed and shook his head. Falling in
love a second time didn't help him much, but at least he had an
advantage this time. His main rival was already dead. Now to only
convince Amy that he deserved her.

"Is that you, Robert?" Robert heard a very feminine voice ask him.

Looking up, he smiled. "Hello, Michelle. How are you doing?"

Brushing her hair out of her face, she smiled and answered, "I'm
okay. I heard about our brother." She lowered her voice, "The one
from our past life."

"I know Michelle. A true pity that he had to go so young." The
Neptunian princess had been his older sister and one of his best
friends in the Silver Millenium. "I heard our mother has been
resurrected."

"Don't remind me." Michelle groaned. "She's already been looking for
people from the Silver Millennium."

Glancing at his watch, Robert said hurriedly, "Sorry, Michelle, but
I really have to go."

Standing up and hugging him, Michelle said, "Well, it was nice to
see you. Transform if you ever feel bored." With that, she was off.

Walking to a cab waiting to take him to his apartment, Robert took
the time to enjoy the scenery. There was the nice park, a hotdog
vender, Amy sitting under his favorite willow tree, a kid riding a
bike...wait! Robert did a double take. Amy was a vision sitting
under the tree, reading a book. Her reading glasses perched on the
end of her nose, the light streaming through her hair...if he didn't
hurry, he'd miss the cab. Ah, the life of a writer.

Amy

'The Neptunian knight wooed the Mercurian princess Maris from afar.
He was not only the younger brother of Maris' betrothed, Dylan, and
of the Neptunian princess, Brenna, but a member of Princess Brenna's
court.' Amy shut her book. "A History of an Ancient Millennium" by
L. A. Robertson was an excellent find. Trista had suggested it to
her. She said it contained myths from the Silver Millennium and how
the courts were run. Once she and the other scouts got married,
Mercury and the other planets would bloom with life that had been
forced to lay dormant over the past few millennia. Amy yearned for
home. Mercury Palace seemed more like home with every day that
passed. She thought that she would share it with Greg, but he was
torn away from her. How about...? She shouldn't be thinking that.
Her boyfriend died a week ago and here she was, thinking of another
man. Although she had to admit, he was a *very* cute distraction.

Troubled by where her thoughts were going, Amy stood up and dusted
herself off. Soon she would have to go to her "Mythology and Today"
course at Central Tokyo University. Since graduating last year, Amy
had decided to take another course to satiate her curiosity about
the Silver Millennium. So far, everything they've said about the
Silver Millennium was true according to Luna.

"Taxi!" Amy yelled at the same time a masculine voice did.

Climbing in, Amy said, "Central Tokyo University."

"Sorry, Amy." A voice chuckled, "I was here first. 257 East Avenue,
please."

Turning her head to the right, Amy said, "Oh, Robert! Fancy meeting
you here. I was just going to the University for my class."

"Really?" Robert asked. "I'm going to work. What class are you
taking?"

"I'm taking 'Mythology and Today' with Professor Higgins. What do
you do?" Amy asked.

"I attempt to write books," Robert said amicably. "If anything ever
gets published, I'll let you know." Smiling he added, "I may even
dedicate it to you."

Pulling up to a posh apartment complex, Robert said, "This is my
humble abode." Kissing her on the cheek, he said, "I hope to see you
soon."

Kissing him back, Amy said, thinking about her dilemma and without
any hesitation, "I'm still open for that dinner invitation."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven. Make sure you dress up." Robert
said with a smile.

"I will." Amy said, smiling as the door closed. Speeding to her
class, Amy sighed to herself. If she was going to travel down the
road to utter ruin, it might as well be with a gorgeous man.

AN: I'm slowly going through and adding more detail to my stories.
I'm making them richer... *sigh* I only hope it works.
