::DW limps in covered in sun burns:: OK! As promised, here is a new
chapter! ::Walks to wall and writes her note on it before muttering 'I hate
yard work!' and limping out::
NOTE: To all reviewers and readers. I know you like trying to get me to change my mind on the pairings, but I have already decided who shall be with whom, and I will not change any pairings. Please stop asking me to pair people up! But I shall inform you of the pairings thus far!
Ami/Trowa Rei/Quatre Duo/Heero
If you really do not care for these pairings as in you detest them through and through, I suggest you do not continue reading this story. Thank you. ~DW ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
KitKat4495: Thank you for the review! I'm glad you like this fic! =)
datajana: I do wish the government was like that...sadly it's not. Ah well...and it's not Duo/Makoto! Read the note above! =)
angelicmayuka: I shall think on that idea. And if you read the note I posted above, then you can see id you were right! =)
GracedAngel1854: All pairings so far have been posted above. I know that some people don't like that kind of stuff, so I'm trying to keep it low profile with out getting rid of that pairing. =)
kalika55: They aren't wondering what happened to everyone because they were there. They saw everyone die! If you didn't catch it, go back to Chapt 1! And you'll find out why they aren't talking about it yet in this chapt! =)
hayehottie64: Sorry, but I'm not having a poll on pairings.....=( Not my style. But thanks for the review! =)
babymar-mar: Although I absolutely adore Hotaru/Duo pairings, they are not a couple in this fic. Sorry. Normally I would have reviewer input on pairings, but this is an experimental pairings story. ^-^' So I'm writing it my way entirely. But thank you for the input. =)
Airlady: You are most welcome. I myself pride myself on those two chapter details. I had to have had a muse with me at the time! =)
Sumi Toshino: Paper balls? Wow! Remind me not to make you angry! ^-^8 And I have no life so I don't work too hard. I don't have a job till June! So I have lots of free time! Don't kill too many people! =)
Kaiya: I was so happy to see your review! Thank you!!!! You were the only one who figured out that pairing!!! I'm trying to have this an Ami centered fic, but she can't be the center if she's not awake. And if it's a bit rushed, sorry, I'm trying to get it all out before I lose my muse. But thank you for the report!! =)
luv slayer: I love your style of reviewing! Very humorous!!! ^-^ Which other story have you read? O.O? I didn't think too many people liked any of my other stories...=( Ah well. Thank you for reviewing and making this little devil smile!
ladytigera21: Some of your curiosity should be abated! I shall reveal the other pairings as the people in them come into the story. Shouldn't take too long. Thank you for the review! Glad you like it so much! =)
Kail Ceannai: Thank you!!! =)
Sailor Element: Goddess of writing? Me? Nah....just one bored teen with no life what so ever! But thanks for the compliment! Glad you like it! =)
Mystic Moon Empress: You have the total agreement form DW. Thanks for reviewing!! =)
Sailor-Tsunami1: Glad you like it so much! =)
Chibi Horsewoman: For the most part, I'm going by the manga, but I may throw in some things from the anime... if I do, it's not intentional. All my manga and anime are in storage from my recent move. Hotaru will not be lonely! And I suck at grammar, so if there are any probs that my comp isn't catching, I'm sorry. =)
That's a LOT of reviewers! Let's see if we can keep it up shall we?

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ami was in the library reading when Trowa entered stealthily. Ami noticed him anyways, but made no notice of him.
'He might be trying to spy on me.' One part of her brain told her. The other half said not to move so she could see his face when he realized that she knew that he was there.
Trowa sat a few feet behind Ami and just watched her. They was she was totally engrossed in her book, her slight smile and bright eyes that shone beyond the shadows that he saw earlier that day.
She looked so peaceful that he didn't want to disturb her, but he wanted to ask her a question.
Ami almost giggled. She knew Trowa was studying her and for some reason it did not irk her. 'Now all I have to do is surprise him.' She thought amused. 'That shouldn't be too hard, all I have to do is say 'hello' with out moving an inch!'
And that's exactly what she did.
"Hello Trowa. Is there something you want?" Ami asked him without missing a line in her book.
Trowa almost jumped out of his chair in surprise. He had been so sure that she hadn't noticed him enter.
"Hello Ami, I just wanted to thank you for the swim match earlier today."
Ami nodded. "I should thank you, I haven't had someone who could keep up with me in a long time!" Ami's smile was bittersweet considering who the last person she raced with was now dead.
Trowa smiled slightly. 'She is a wonderful person from what I can tell. It is a shame that she has lost so much.'
"There is one more thing," Trowa continued aloud.
Ami looked up from her book to look Trowa in the eyes.
'He has very pretty eyes. Much greener than even Makoto's!'
Trowa broke her thought pattern when he started speaking.
"The circus that I occasionally work for is in town and everyone else is going, including Rei, and I was wondering if you would also like to go."
Ami looked at him. 'A circus?'
~Rei?~ Ami called mentally.
~Yes Ami? Can you hurry? I'm about to chop Duo's braid off!~
~Do you know anything about a circus in town?~
~Yeah. Quatre asked me to go. All the guys are going because Trowa's performing tonight~
~Alright. Thank you Rei~
~No Problem Ames! By the way...when are we going to talk about what happened to Crystal Tokyo?~
~When the others wake up. No use in going over it more than once~
~True, and while we are waiting, we should have a bit of fun! That's what they would have wanted~
~They would have, wouldn't they~
~Yep! And DAMNIT! I just missed! I almost had Duo's braid!~
Ami giggled at Reis' last comment, much to Trowa's confusion. He was thinking that she was laughing at his proposal.
Ami, seeing the hurt in his eyes, quickly told him what happened. They guys already knew about the telepathic link that the Senshi had.
Ami and Rei had to explain it one day when they burst out laughing in the middle of dinner.
Rei had shown Ami pictures of what Duo would look like with shorn hair.
Duo, of course, after hearing the cause of the laughter, was faux outraged. He then started to talk to his braid, much to the embarrassment of the others at the table.
When Ami told Trowa that she had spoken to Rei just then, she also told him that she was gaining on Duo's braid.
They both smiled.
Before Trowa could whisk his way out of the room, Ami shouted after him that she would be more than happy to go.
Trowa left with a full smile on his face.
That night everyone piled into one of Quatre's SUV's. Quatre, not trusting Heero not to blow up his vehicle, drove it instead.
Rei was sitting up front with him, mostly so she wouldn't kill Duo and because she wanted to sit next to the cute blond.
Ami was sitting by herself since Wufei had driven Trowa to the circus earlier. And she didn't want to sit near the polar opposites. They needed their time together too.
On the last set of seats sat Heero and Duo. Heero was the only one that could control Duo in any case so either way, he would have been sitting next to him.
It didn't take them very long to get to the circus. Only about a half hour or so. But by the time they got there, everyone was glad to be out of the vehicle.
There was only so much yelling they could take!
Ami and Rei gazed at the striped tent in awe before giggling like teenage girls. In all the years that the circus has been around, they never changed from the stripes?
Quarter looked at his new friends with curiosity. "What's so funny?"
Rei was laughing so much that Ami had to answer.
"In all the years that the circus has been around, you would think that they would change the stripes!"
They guys all smiled at the comment. You would think that. Especially when you have lived over a thousand years ago!
Still smiling, they found Wufei and went inside to take their seats and wait for the show to start.
The first act after the lights dimmed was the clowns. They were followed by the acrobats and the animals. Next came the feats of skill.
Just as Ami began to wonder where Trowa was helping out, he and another woman entered the ring.
Ami had to hold her giggles in when she saw what Trowa was wearing.
The clown suit, made to look silly on anyone, instead made him look more mysterious and cute in Ami's eyes.
She watched as the woman, Catherine, as the others had told her, helped tie Trowa to a spinning wall.
Ami appreciated Trowa and Catherine's skills as each of her knives flew straight at the green eyed man.
Ami was more impressed since Trowa did not once blink or wince as a knife imbedded itself near his ear.
When the act was over, Ami, along with all the others in the audience, stood and applauded for the act.
The rest of the show blurred for Ami. All she could think about was how well Trowa had done, even thought she knew very well that he had been doing this for years.
Ami and the others waited for Trowa after the show was over for the night.
Since it was only 9, they decided to go out for dinner. There was a good restaurant near by and they were all hungry.
By some strange happenstance at their round table, Ami was seated next to Trowa, who was now wearing his normal attire.
Rei was sitting next to Quatre.
Wufei was seated between Ami and Rei so he wouldn't cause too many problems.
And as far from Wufei as possible was Duo and Heero.
News about the Senshi had yet to leek out into the public so no one bothered them about that. So all in all, they had a rather peaceful dinner.
On the way back, they played musical seats. Heero and Duo took the car that Wufei drove in and Trowa and Wufei hitched a ride with the others.
Ami would have ridden in the back alone, but Trowa sat down next to her. Wufei sat in the middle, alone with a smirk on his face.
Sometime during the ride back both she and Trowa had fallen asleep, both leaning on the other to keep upright. But to the others, it looked way cuter. Especially to Rei.
Ami woke when the SUV came to a halt in the garage. The sudden stop made her bolt upright.
Trowa at that time woke up as well. But both of them were still sleep logged to realize how they had been sleeping.
Neither of them comprehended all the grins they were getting from the others in the vehicle so they trudged up to bed. Ami vowing sleepily that she would get some answers the following morning.
As she slipped into dreamland, for more than likely another nightmare, that vow blew away, forgotten.
However it was brought back full blown the next morning when she happened upon a smirking Rei.
~Alright Rei, what did I do that has you so amused?~
~Oh, nothing.............except that you looked way cute when you were asleep, leaning on Trowa!~
Ami's face reddened.
~You DO like him! I knew it~
~Hush up Rei! You like Quatre, so what's the big deal?~
This time Rei blushed.
~I won't tell if you don't!~
~Deal~
Ami walked down to breakfast still inwardly blushing.
And to make matters worse, Trowa was there already being teased by Duo who had heard what happened from Quatre and Wufei.
"So...Ami" Duo begun.
"Duo, I suggest that you leave me alone right now if you value your braid and wish to remain a tenor!" Ami hissed at him.
Duo blanched. "Ouch....For a threat like that, I'll drop it like molten metal!" He then hurried out of the room.
"I guess you heard what happened." Trowa murmured.
Ami scowled. "I heard...for Rei...and that's worse than hearing it from Duo I imagine."
Trowa nodded. "Don't worry about it."
"I don't plan too."
Both of them were silent for a few minutes while they ate their breakfast.
"Would you like to go to the park?"
"Sure"
"1?"
"Sounds good"
"Alright"
Ami smiled as she put her dishes in the sink. 'This is going to be an interesting day.'
