Then I walked quickly to the main doors. My skirt kept bunching up, and since it was a mini, I didn't want to let it move too far up. I pulled it down again, wondering if I put it on wrong, or something. I walked out onto the street. The afternoon sun beat down on me. I picked a direction and started walking, hoping to find something to hint to where to find the other girls. The street was fairly busy, but not over crowded. I was still getting use to being in a 3D cartoon environment. Everywhere I looked everything was draw. The apartment was disconcerting enough, but out in public, were everything was a cartoon and interacting with each other and their environment. I couldn't help wondering if I was just a character in some story somewhere. As soon as the story was over, would I disappear, cease to exist? Or maybe this is reality and my own world was the dream world and I have woken up from a long dream? I was half tempted to find a pencil and draw something. See if it came to life. But then that would never happen in a Sailor Moon cartoon, unless of coarse there was some nega-verse magic or something to cause it.
The more I thought about being a cartoon the more questions popped up in my mind and not to mention questions about being a girl I hadn't even considered yet, PMS being one of the big concerns. Could I handle all the aspects about being a woman if I was stuck this way for the rest of my life? The thought of being Ami forever was both a bit scary and thrilling at the sametime.
I pulled down the skirt once again. My skirt was really starting to concern me, I couldn't keep pulling it down all day. Or do girls always pull down skirts ever ten minutes when they walk. I stood still and watched other girls and women pass by. Most not wearing short skirts. The few that did seemed not to have a problem with theirs, so I continued walking. I walking as a women was deferent then as a man, parts of your body moved after every step. I continued walking when my cafes and hips were starting to feel soar. Why? I had to wonder. Ami should be in good shape. And I didn't walk too far. Surely Ami would walk farther normally. Then the answer hit me. Why my skirt was going up, why walking seemed so awkward, and why my muscles were soar. I don't remember where I learnt it, but women tend to take shorter strides then a guy does. I was walking like a girl which Ami's body isn't use too and my wide steps were probably causing my skirt to bunch UP. I watched a couple other girls walk, then trying to imitate the walk, I slowly stepped one at a time, keeping my steps short as I move quicker. It felt awkward but also more natural. My skirt didn't bunch up and my muscles started to feel better. It'll take a little practice to get use to walking this way, but at least it solved my problems.
The realization that I'm not a boy happened right away, but the implementation of it wasn't as quick. Now that I realized that not only do I have a girl's body, but I also have to make sure I act like a girl. This was going to be a lot harder then I though. I did think about the possibility of getting a book and looking in it while I walked. That's probably what Ami would normally do, but I didn't know this city at all. And I needed to keep my eyes wide opened for the video arcade, the school, Rei's Temple on Cherry Hill or even Serena's house. I figured the best thing to do would be to try to get to Rei's temple. At least I had a starting point. I knew the temple was on Cherry Hill. If that was a hill or a street name I didn't know. I was about to ask a local store merchant, when by odd chance I saw a bus with the sign Cherry Hill on it. I sprinted towards the bus. I didn't care how it felt, or if I was running properly for a girl. I just wanted to get on that bus. Unfortunately I missed it. It drove away just as I got to the bus stop. Oh well. Now I had to wait for the next bus.
At least now I was on come track of what I was doing. I sat down on the bench, making sure to keep my knees together. This was one of the things I knew girls did. Epically while wearing skirts. I didn't even want to think about the idea of someone looking up my skirt. I remembered old News stories where guys put camera and mirrors on or in their shoes, and used them to see up girls skirts. Then I suddenly was shocked. Should I be looking out for that? I stopped a few times from Ami's apartment building to here. And someone might have been peeping while I was wondering what to do, or even when I was walking. I cringed at the thought of being peeped on. The more I thought about it, the more concerned I was. Being a girl wasn't just looking pretty and acting right, but I had to think about the perverts around me too. Any guy, a teenager, or some old man could be a pervert and what about the Happosais from Ranma ½ in the world. Perverted old men, grabbing girls and stealing their underwear. I don't know if I could deal with some short old guy groping my chest. And this was an anime, anything could happen to a sweet cute girl like myself.
Now I was nervous. Being a girl was a huge undertaking. In Ami's apartment I was safe from any sick-o that might have tried something. Out here I was venerable. I slid to the edge of the bench, isolating myself from the general crowd. I put hands on my lap. And sat very still waiting for the bus. Thinking about what I would do if some pervert tried something.
Perhaps I was thinking a bit too hard when I was taped on my shoulder I screamed. Everyone at the bus stop looked at me as I was panicked and out of breathe. I guess that's the best way to take care of a pervert, cause as much attention to myself as possible. Too bad my internal-pervert scream alarm went off because of some guy who wanted to know if I had change for some Japanese money he had. I think I scared him more then I scared myself. I spent a good 3 minutes apologizing for screaming, making sure to bow like I've seen anime characters do before when they ask forgiveness.
Even if I might have had good reason to scream, I never felt more embarrasses then I ever had before. Well at least since I became a female. I guess I should try to keep my over active imagination in check.
The whole experience did make me realize an important point though. Money would probably be helpful for getting onto the bus. And I had none. All I grabbed from the apartment was a key. Ami most likely had a purse that I left there. I swore at myself for being so dumb. I guess Ami's intelligence didn't stay with her body.
I must have been talking to myself or something because the guy who asked me for change realized my situation and had a proposition.
"I'll pay for your bus fare if you promises not to scream at me again." was what he offered. I wasn't planning on screaming again so that wasn't a problem. It did cross my mind that maybe he is a pervert who hasn't made his move yet. I was about to refuse but then decided to accept his offer. I had embarrassed him as well as myself, and if he was a pervert, he would have left. Plus the pure fact that I had no money to get on the bus.
I tried to smile as I reply "Thanks."
He sat down on the bench and started talking to me. I had to bluff part of the time. I didn't know where my name originated from, nor details of Ami's life that weren't commonly shown on the TV show. I was able to answer questions like, "What's my name." I replied as Ami would have and not myself. I would probably have a hard time explaining the whole concept of going to sleep and waking up like this. Plus how would I explain the real world? I did learn his name was some Japanese name I forgot shortly after and he's visiting his grandmother, which at the time my only reply was " That's so sweet." I couldn't believe how corny that sounded after I said it, but if it seemed strange, my new friend didn't notice.
The bus shortly arrived, about 20 minutes from the last one. I stood in line as it moved slowly on the bus. My fare was paid for as I got onto the bus and looked for a seat. I sat near the window, crossing my legs this time. Legroom on the bus was at a premium and after the rationalization of sitting with my knees together; I thought I'd try crossing my legs this time. Guys could never cross their legs in the fashion a girl did or at least not for long. Girls did not have an organ preventing it, while guys did. I was almost relaxed from the unpleasantness of the bus stop when the guy I screamed at sat beside me, trapping me between him and the window
"AH, hi." I said, a bit nervous from the 2nd encounter. I should have figured he would have sat beside me. I couldn't really blame him. If I had met a cute girl the way he did and payed for her bus fare, I'd try to get to know her, even… I gasped. Does he like me? I started panicking again. "No, he can't like me" I kept mentally saying to myself. I know that I was in a girl's body, but I'm still a guy. Can't he sense that or something? I put my hands on my lap, trying to look as noncommittal as possible.
"So where you headed too?" He asked.
I pretty much just sat there, staring at a single spot on the seat in front of me. Maybe if I ignored him, he would go away.
"Ami? You ok? " He asked this time.
I didn't know what to do. If I responded, would that be like leading him on or something? How would a girl get rid of me if I was hitting on her? Oh my god! Is he really hitting on me? I started breathing heavy, trying to think of a away out of this situation.
"I'm washing my hair." I blurted out.
"Your hair?" he said, confused.
My hair? How could I say something that stupid? It doesn't even have anything to do with this situation. I must sounded like a idiot.
"Ami, you ok, you look kind of blush?" He said as he put his hand on my leg, my bare leg. A guy's hand was on MY bare leg! This was getting more and more freakier. What to do? What to say? How do I get out of this? Were only a few of the questions running though my mind. This was one of those situations you wanted to get out, but everything you did seemed to get you in deeper!
Then something else became more important. I couldn't breath. Well, I could breath, but I couldn't control my breathing. I was hyperventilating. I kept gasping for air in a vain attempt to take control of the situation.
The guy must have seen my problem. I know he said Ami's name and somehow got a paper page that he held up to my mouth. I grabbed it and started breathing into it, leaning towards my lap. My breathing started feeling better, as he patted my back. Soon my breathing was normalized and I sat up. I was about to say "Thanks" when I noticed Rei's temple out the window.
"This is my stop!" I said as I stood up and motioned around the guy. I was happy just to be leaving the seat. He did look cute for a guy though. I couldn't believe I just thought that. He's cute? He's cute? I have no right to be judging if a guy is or isn't cute! I just thanked him and walked off the bus as quickly as I could. The bus started to move away from the bus stop when I realized that I should have gotten a bus pass for the return trip or for a bus trip elsewhere. I really have to start thinking again. I guess the guy on the bus just distracted all my attention.
He did have a cute smile though. I stepped away from the bus stop when I put both my hands on he head. "Arrg! Stop thinking girl thoughts!" I said out loud. Luckly no one was around to hear myself. I had to start taking control of myself. Flirting with myself in front of any reflections, and now thinking about how a guy is cute.
I gave a quick little tug on my skirt, just making sure it was straight and completely down and started to walk up the stairs to the temple. Hopefully I'll see the other scouts soon.
