Sorry Ch 3 was so short! I was hyped up on chocolate when I wrote that. Sometimes
it's hard to tell how long these things are when you're writing them. As much
time as I spend on these things I'm expecting like an Iliad sized epic but it
comes out much shorter than I expected. Enough griping! On to the story!
A chance meeting....
The restaurant Ami had led them to was nice enough; the hosts were friendly,
and it had a nice atmosphere, but Zoicite couldn't make heads or tails of the menu,
and Ami ended up ordering for him. He was a little suspicious when he found out his
food had arms, several of them, but after tasting it he decided it was much better
than the fare he had suffered through in the Dark Kingdom. While he was poking at
something green and round Ami spoke up, "So, how is it?" Zoicite gave a smirk,"Well,
it's... interesting. Very colorful..."
"You don't like it..."
"Ah! No! It's not that! It's just different from what I'm used to. This is quite
delicious, really!" Ami perked up and favored Zoicite with a smile. "Well I'm glad you
like it." The waiter brought the check Zoicite and grabbed it wordlessly. He left the
money on the table and helped Ami up. He remembered the second part of his plan and asked,
"How about a movie? The 8:00 should be starting soon."
"That sounds okay. I know just the one too! I hope you like romance!" Zoicite sweatdropped
and said,"Uh... Yeah. Why not?" About five minutes later they arrived at the theater, and
Zoicite purchased their tickets. After a short wait in the concession, they entered the
cinema laden with popcorn, various chocolates, drinks, and more popcorn. 'Well it is a
three hour movie,' Ami thought. Shortly after the film began, she became entirely engrossed
in it. It was a bit too unbearably cute and sappy for Zoicite's taste, so he filled up the time
watching Ami instead. Several times he considered trying the old yawn arm over the shoulder bit
(personal experience: that never works :p),he chose to stop hesistating and just did it. Suprisingly,
Ami leaned into his embrace. He leaned in closer and lowered his lips to her neck, but stopped
short of kissing her when he realized that, like the movie he was being forced to attend, his
situation was becoming unbearably cute and sappy. He blushed when he saw the other people in the
theater and returned his gaze to the screen. Ami rested her head on his shoulder and placed her
hands on his thighs. Zoicite blushed again and tried not to notice. Sometime later he almost
unconsiously put his hand on top of hers.
After what seemed like an eternity later, the ending credits finally rolled across the
screen. Zoicite and Ami noticed their bodily situation and blushed together. After untangling
themselves, the very kawaii couple headed out of the side exit. Ami broke the silence, "Wasn't that great?"
"Oh, Y-yes! We should see more like that," Zoicite replied, "It was very enlightening. I think."
"Weren't you watching?!"
"Well, yes. Watching you, anyway. You're better than any movie." Ami's face was tomato-red now,
"Zoicite... I... Oh! It's past eleven! I should get home."
"Will you allow me to escort you?"
"Well, uh... sure! I live down this way." She looped her arm around his without realizing it
and led him to her home. "So, uh... Zoicite, Where do you come from?"
"Someplace not as nice as here, I hope I never have to go back."
"Oh, was it really that bad?"
"Yeah, that and more so. Things were just too strict there."
"What did you do there?"
"I guess you could say I was involved with the military."
"Why did you go?"
"I sorta got fired."
"That's too bad..."
"Not really, that job sucked anyway. Things are much better here."
"What sort of a job do you do here?"
"Well, uh... I'm living off a substantial inheritance. More than enough to take care of me for the
rest of my life."
"That must be an easy life."
"Well, it is. But I'm considering getting a real job. I don't want to live in my tiny apartment
forever." Ami giggled,"I suppose not! What sort of skills do you have?"
"Well, I'm sort of a scientist. I noticed some openings in a few local labs, I was considering
applying." They reached the front steps of Ami's house and paused in front of the door. "Well here we
are. I guess I'll see you around. Here," He wrote something on a scrap of paper and handed it to her,
"My number, call me sometime, or I'll call you... whatever."
"Thank you... Zoicite. I had a wonderful time..." Ami looked into his eyes and saw him leaning
torwards her. She raised her head to recieve the kiss and as his lips were brushing hers.........
Zoicite was tackled by something blonde and fluffy. After recovering from the initial shock, he found
himself staring into the eyes of a very pissed Minako who was wearing an impossibly fuzzy orange sweater.
"Y-Y-YOUUUU! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!?"
"Mina! Get off of him!," Ami yanked the wriggling senshi off of a bewildered Zoicite. She bent down
and helped him to his feet. "I'm so sorry! She's just a bit over-protective. You're not hurt are you?"
"Uh...! Just my ego. I'll be fine." He staggered to his feet and dusted himself off. "I'll talk to
you tomorrow, okay?"
"That'll be fine. I'm so sorry!"
"Don't worry about it. I'll see you!" He turned and walked off. Ami turned to face a fuming Minako.
'She must've recognized him... this'll take some finesse.'
"I *KNOW* that wasn't who I thought it was!"
"Well, uh....."
"Ami!"
.........
Well, there's four! I won't leave you hanging! You'll see five soon.
Until then faithful reader.
