Ami sat on the edge of her bed, watching the sun peek over
the horizon. Morning had finally arrived, to the relief of
the blue-haired girl. She grimaced as she realized her
train of thought.
'For someone who is very logical, I'm sure not behaving
that way. Though the way Luna behaved at the arcade last
night, one would have thought the world had ended.'
She glanced over at the end of her bed where Luna laid in
slumber. To look at the cat sleeping so peacefully, one
would never guess the commotion she had caused last night.
Ami rose gently from her bed and quietly tiptoed about her
room; getting herself ready for the day and taking great
care not to disturb Luna.
As she dressed, she reflected on the events that occurred
last night. As soon as Motoki left the room, she had
pulled out her Mercury computer to make sure there was no
Dark Kingdom activity present.
'I think Luna was more upset by the fact that there wasn't
a youma attacking Usagi and Mamoru.'
Ami paused in front of the mirror and studied her
reflection. 'Why does that seem familiar?' she pondered.
She tried to grasp onto a somewhat fleeting memory, but it
vanished leaving only a trace of familiarity. She set the
hairbrush that was in her hand deliberately on the dresser
before her. She resisted the impulse of flinging it in a
brief flash of unaccustomed temper. She walked over and
plopped down on the bed, momentarily forgetting about Luna.
"I wish Minako wasn't so insistent that we do this. I feel
so torn. Usagi is our leader, but it felt very natural to
follow Minako's directions. This just doesn't make any
sense."
By this time, Ami was musing out-loud, forgetting all about
the cat lying on the bed next to her. At the sound of
Ami's voice, Luna began to stir. She yawned and stretched
before sitting up to face the day.
"Good morning Ami. I trust you slept well."
"No, I did not. I spent all night worrying about Usagi and
this whole situation we are in. I'm not sure what we are
doing is right. I have no idea what Minako told the
Tsukinos about Usagi being gone and her missing school.
Why was it so easy to be persuaded by her?"
Luna had sat patiently, listening to the genius vent her
frustrations. She frowned as Ami finished her rant. "What
do you mean it was easy to be persuaded by her?"
Ami paused. "It just felt very natural to take directions
from her. That's why this has been so hard for me.
Besides the extreme way of forcing Mamoru and Usagi to try
to get along, I know that Usagi is our leader, but at that
time, it felt right to listen to Minako."
She hit the bed with her fist, before standing and facing
Luna. Her blue hair swirled around, brushing her cheeks and
her eyes flashed anger.
"What is going on? Why am I having trouble making a
decision like this? You don't suppose the Dark Kingdom is
controlling us somehow?"
Luna seemed to consider the girl's words carefully before
she spoke. "I don't think it's the Dark Kingdom. You've
used your computer several times and would have picked up
some sort of activity. I wonder……."
Luna's voice trailed off, as she appeared to get an idea.
"I need to go check something out. Don't forget our
meeting this afternoon at the temple."
And before Ami could question her, the black cat hopped
onto the windowsill and was gone.
Ami stomped her foot in frustration before grabbing a
textbook off her nightstand. She fervently hoped this
would help take her mind off her troubles before she had to
face the other girls and the lunar cats later today.
