After Mako stopped by her apartment and dropped off her school things, she headed out to Ami's apartment to give her books back that had been left behind at the temple.
When she got up to Ami's apartment she knocked on the door with Ami's books tucked under her arm. "Ami-chan… darling, please open the door. It's me."
A voice not unlike Ami's answered back, but was screaming slightly. "I'll be there in a second. Hold your damn horses!" Mako blinked a couple of times and stuck a finger into an ear as if to clean it, trying to figure out if she had heard Ami correctly. . . Had she just cursed?
"Yeah, what do you want?" When Ami finally flung the door open, Mako's jaw hit the floor and complete and udder shock spilled over her due to the sight in front of her. Ami, Mizuno Ami, was standing in the door wearing skin tight leather pants and a tie front leather shirt that was not completely tied, effectively letting her breast be shown to anyone who dared to look. Her short blue hair had been spiked up with what seemed to be a whole jar of gel and she had a spiked collar around her neck.
Mako blinked a few times with her mouth moving but no words would push past her lips.
"What's wrong honey? Don't you like the new me?" Ami almost spat out the usually kind word that she called Mako by, looking up at her with a look that seemed to hold a hint of malice.
Finally Mako gave up on speech and held out Ami's books to her. When Ami took the books from Mako, she stood there blinking for a few more moments. She then took a few slow steps backward before turning and running down the stairs at top speed.
After closing the door, Ami flung the books across the room, the Calculus book landing in a sink full of dirty water and her Physics II AP book landing underneath a sofa. She then walked over to the stero and turned on the radio and found a heavy metal station, pumping the volume up as far as it would go and started head banging to the music.
