(Gothic: Now continuing where I left off. I hope everyone likes it.)
Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru had all looks of acceptence. Michiru and Haruka both knew how it felt coming out and thought it would be nice to have another couple to hang around with. The other senshi were another matter all together. They all had surprised looks on their faces and were dumbfounded that two of their own had found love within the group. Minako was the first to break the group's silence.
"Ho--how...How come you didn't tell us earlier?"
"I was afraid that I would be looked at wierd and made fun of. I'm sorry I kept this from you guys. I know I should have told you earlier." Ami responded. "Although this being Rei's and my aniversary, I decided to tell you today. It seemed appropriate."
"Well, I think it was romantic. I feel happy for the both of you." Said Makoto, winking at Rei and Ami giving them a thumbs up.
"Yeah Ami-chan," said Usagi, leaving her locket on the table to play its beautiful song for the two, "don't think we will hate you for finding love. After all, we senshi fight for the name of love, right Rei-chan?"
"Thanks, Usagi-chan." Said Rei with a warm and caring smile.
"Okay, now I don't want to sound prude or anything but, when are we gonna eat the cake?" Usagi said and everyone dropped their head in disbelieve and an anime sweatdrop appeared on their heads.
~*~*~(Gothic: skip to Ami's home.)
Ami walked in, giddy as ever. It was nine thrity at night and Ami felt hyper. She came in home with the biggest smile, kissed her mom on the cheek and went to the bathroom and prepared herself for bed. ami's mom followed her child, wanting to know of her new-found happines.
"Ami.....honey, you have the biggest smile in the world. What happened that's made you so happy? I want to know." Ami started brushing her teeth and manage to get out whatever understandable words she could. "Nofin mom. jus da uffual," she grabbed her cup of water and rinsed her mouth, spat on the sink and continued, "But I feel wonderful." She put her toothbrush down on its place still covered in toothpaste and went to her room to get her towel. Ami's mind was forgetting every little detail. her euphoria high did not go away and messed with her normal function. "When I got to the party, we danced and had cake. After that I made the announcment and everything worked out." Ami turned on the water and leveled the water of her shower. Ami's mom was now curious. "Ami, what was this announcement?" Ami walked into her shower with her clothes on. Ami's mother now looked at her wierdly.
"I came out to them and accepted me for it." She said bluntly. Her mind was wondering to that night's events to not notice she was bathing with her clothes still on, let alone notice she had bluntly told her mom she was a lesbian. Ami's mom's eyes went wide as she heard her child say she came out.
"Wha..wha--what did you say?" She asked her child with disbelieve.
"I came o...u...t..." She stood there, dumbfounded. She now noticed her clothes were more than soaked. She looked to the sink and saw her toohbrush covered in used toothpaste. She looked at her mother who now had a look of shock and fury. Ami looked down at the floor and fixed her eyes on a tile close to her shoe.
"Ami, I don't know where you got this idea from, but I know I didn't raise a child to be a faggot. Where do you come from telling me you're a lesbian!!?" (Gothic: oooooh! that's gotta suck! *covers away* don't hit me, just read. This just happens to be the story's conflict) Ami still looked down. She didn't expect this from her mother. She had thought that her mother would be a little bit more reasonable and her mother proved her wrong. Ami's eyes began to fill with tears. Her mother's words were cutting at her heart. Ami's stomach began to feel heavy and she felt like her heart was being churned, twisted and drained of love. Her tears were masked by the running water hitting her whole body and felt as though her life was escaping through them.
"Are you listening to me, Ami Mizuno!?" Her anger showed fiercely in the look she gave her child. Ami still didn't answer, her stare fixed on the bathroom's tiled floor and tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ami ran out of the bathroom and into the living room to the door. Ami opened the door trying to get away from her mother. "Ami Mizuno, where the hell do you think you're going!?" Ami continued to run and didn't hear her mother call out to her. She made it out of the apartment building and ran and ran and didn't care where she would end up. She left her mother back in the apartment and made it to the park and continued to run. It started to rain and lightning decorated the night. it started to drizzle a little and the thunder reigned the sky but Ami paid no attention to it. She unconsiously went to the place she felt safe, the Hino Shrine.
Ami climbed the stairs hastly and made her way to the altar. her knees gave way and cried there. Her sobs the only sound she heard and the only confort was the shrine. Her hands on the ground, she cried freely and tried to dig her nails into the ground. Rei heard all of this and walked out of her room and saw Ami. She saw Ami crying and knew something was wrong. (Gothic: "Well, genuis, She crying. What the hell do you expect out of a wet, crying girl in the middle of the night, everything to be peachy?" HAHA!! beat ya to it!! :p) Rei ran to her side and put her arms around her.
"Ami, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Rei asked. Ami looked up to Rei and hugged her tighly and put her face on Rei's shoulder. "Oh, Rei." Ami cried louder and her hug became tighter. Rei hugged back and put her hand on top of Ami's head.
"Ami." The rain was gentle and dropped on top of them caressingly. Ami's hold got looser and relaxed. Ami explained what had happened moments ago, telling her how her mother exploded in anger and told her the harsh words that had made her cry. Rei looked at Ami's eyes and lowered her face and kissed Ami gently.
~*~*~
That night, Ami spent the night at Rei's house. She had made up her mind to not go back to her mother's house. She knew that she would only complicate her love and thoughts. Ami's mom felt sorry that she had said what she did but disowned her completely. She felt she didn't have to go through a rough divorce and raise Ami all by herself just so she would go against the order of things. (Gothic: Man and Woman and not same sex relationships.) That night, Ami thought of her future. She had decided to live with Rei and had planned to talk to Rei's granfather about working in the shrine. Ami still wanted to become a doctor and asked Rei if they could rent an apartment. That night Rei and Ami did a lot of thinking and that night, the moon protected one of its own again.
(Gothic: Ok, that's it. You don't like the ending, go tell it to the chancelor of China. I didn't mean to end it like this. my thoughts became cloudy and I confused Rei with Makoto. Hey, that happens when you stay until two in the morning to watch the world's cup games. Mexico won, one to Zero against Croasia. ah-huh- ah-huh ah-huh! in the immortal words of the sportscaster Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool! XO :p Oh, yeah, one more thing. save your breath if you're gonna flame me because I don't particularly care if you do. like I said, if you don't like it, cool, and if you do, cool.)
