Me Mercury -
"Finding the scouts"
Chapter Three
As I started up the stairs I tried to think of the best way to do it without having to worry about the skirt. In retrospect, I probably should have worn pants or jeans, but I had to be picky on my clothing. I tried stepping like I normally would, then waddling up the stairs like a penguin would. Although waddling felt like the best anti-skirt raising method, I knew I looked a little bit silly. After a couple more attempts at walking up the stairs I discovered that I could walk up the stairs normally, as long as I added a little swing to my step. After I stepped, I let my rear leg stiffen slightly. I'm not sure the reason, but the skirt didn't climb. I felt a little silly too, but this time I didn't look it. I wondered if this was the way girls usually walked up stairs, or if it was just a method that worked. Oh well, anything that got me up the stairs I guess.
Half way up the massive flight of stairs I started cursing the height of the stairs. It was probably a good 4 floors high, and although I wouldn't usually have a problem going up that height, I wanted to finish walking up the stairs incase I actually was walking up them wrong. When I reached the top of the stone anti-skirt stairs, I made sure my skirt was down and started heading to the temple. I was a bit nervous. After all, these were the famous Sailor scouts. Even if they were only cartoons they were like celebrities. And I had to admit, I had a crush on everyone at one point (Except for Mini Moon). My first 'Sailor Crush' was on Mina. I liked how energetic and happy she was. Plus I liked her long blonde hair. Then I had my Lita phase. She seemed the most mature of all the characters. I was also pretty much hitting puberty hard then and was a bit fixated on her breasts. I know I wondered in Lita had the largest of any of the other scouts. Then was my joint Serena and Rei phase. I pretty much couldn't decide on either of them as my favor. Serena was playful while Rei also had a quality (probably the red skirt and shoes, not to mention her legs which seemed to look better then the other scouts) that made me fixated on her at the same time. Then I started on my Ami phase, which I'm still on. I glimpse down at myself, almost confirming I was Ami.
I had to try to stay calm. They might be famous, and I was just as famous as Sailor Mercury, but they don't know they're famous. And they probably don't know about the two worlds. I'd just have to stay calm and look for signs that they weren't themselves either.
Their voices would be the give away. I knew my voice didn't sound like Ami's voice. I'll have to say I have a cold or something. But it any of the others have alternated voices, then I'll know. I walked up to the temple, and scanned it's front with my eyes for a front door. There wasn't any conventional door that I could see, but there was a another set of three stairs that went to a porch. I stepped up to the porch and started to walk along the side of the temple along the porch, looking for a door. I didn't get far from the steps when I heard someone call out to Ami.
"Ami-chan", the voice called. It was a male's voice. I looked back towards the sound of the voice afraid I'd see the bus guy again. Luckily it wasn't him. Instead it was Chad. He was wearing his temple robe and held a straw broom in his hands. He must have been cleaning the walk away on the other side of the temple I assumed.
"Hi Chad." I replied back to him. He looked at me a little strange. I then realized that he probably heard the difference in my voice. I chafed a couple times and said, "I seem to be getting a cold."
"Ahh", he nodded accepting the reason. "Sorry Ami, Rei-chan isn't here."
Crap. I thought to myself. My excursion across town was a waste of time. If Rei wasn't here she must be out with the others elsewhere, maybe the Crown video arcade or something. Maybe they're even going to Ami's place to get her for something. There had to be a way to find them I starting racking my brain trying to think of something to help get me on the right foot. I looked at Chad and a brilliant thought came to me. "You know where Rei is?"
OK, so maybe not brilliant, but it was better then looking around town blindly.
"I think she went to the video arcade."
Alright, so now I know where she is. Or at least probably is. Now just to find it. Chad would know, but how do I get him to tell me where it is without looking suspicious. I could ask him to come, but then Rei might be mad and how would I explain bring Chad? Also we couldn't talk about scout business if I brought him.
I could flirt with him and try to trick him into telling me. He was rating about a 7 on the cute scale and… I cringed again. Why do I think he's cute? Better question, why am I even thinking about guys being cute? This was the second time cute guy thoughts crossed my mind and they were a bit disturbing.
I tried to shake the thought from my mind while still focusing on my master problem, 'Getting to the video Arcade.' I would have to try to trick Chad into telling me where it was.
"Do you know if Rei took the long way or short way?" I asked him, hoping there wasn't a long and short way.
"Long way?" He answered confusingly.
"Yea, you know, the way by what's that street?" I had to hope my routine wouldn't seem too much out of character for Ami. Lucky Chad was about as bright as he was in the TV show. I stood their, watching him, trying to make one of those cute big-blue-eyed expression, which would only help butter up his answer, I hoped.
."Well, I think she took…" I stood their, trying to remember as Chad explained the route to the arcade. I would probably feel better if he showed me how to get there, but I'd have to try to find it first. Worse case scenario is I'd have to come back and either get Chad's help to show me, or wait for Rei and the others to get here.
I thanked Chad, and gave him a blink which I cursed myself for doing immediately after. As I walked down the stone stairs (which was much simpler then going up) I tried to think why I was doing these things. Judging cuteness and blinking at Chad. I know Ami wasn't attracted to Chad, but I still acted like that. As I navigated towards the Arcade, or at least towards the directions Chad had told me, I came to realize something. I was a girl. And yes, I know I am girl physically already. I covered that in Chapter One. No, I mean I have more then just a girl's body, but I have her physical mind too. When I'm a guy, I on some level make concision or sub concision decision about girls. Do they look attractive or not? DO I given them a longer look or pretend I never saw them? Why wouldn't girls do the same? I'm probably just a little more conoius of it then Ami normally would be.
I admit that realizing that I'll be like this while I was in Ami's body was initially worry-sum. After all, me? Being attracted to other guys? Their wasn't anything wrong with that, but I'm a firm heterosexual and girls was the only thing I wanted to like. Then I started wondering, since I was in a girl's body, am I still a heterosexual if I prefer girls? Or and I a lesbian now? I know I'm still attracted to girls. I could confirm that every time I looked at my reflection. I'd get warm fuzzy feelings. My heart would start bounding and I'd start blushing. And I still noticed all the girls around me as though I was still a guy. Like their was this one chick I saw while I was thinking about this, who had huge breasts and gorgeous legs. I couldn't help but take a glimpse. Ami's body was nice, but didn't have anything too remarkable. She was pretty much the girl next-door type girl. Except for the blue hair that is. I still want to know why Ami has blue hair. Does she dye it? Or is it natural or something? I know of a lot of Anime Girls with weird color hair. Shampoo on Ranma ½ is a perfect example. Maybe they put something weird in the shampoo around here.
Anyway, the more I thought about the attraction to guys vs. girls, the better I felt about it. Like I said, at first I was freaked. What guy wouldn't be? But how many times does a guy magically become a cartoon girl? But the more I logical thought about it, the more and more it made sense. I was a girl in body and probably in mind. So all my biological chemistry was geared to liking guys. (So, I can confirm that Ami wasn't naturally a lesbian.) The only thing that kept me wanting girls was my own thoughts. Physically I like guys, but my thought process till that morning was solely on liking girls. So is it really surprising that I'd suddenly like both?
Being aware of myself made me a little more confident about being a girl. I even thought about the idea of exploring my female sex drive with some lucky guy. But then I decide not too. I'd have to keep up the appearance of being Ami. So that meant acting like her as best as I could.
While I was contemplating my womanhood, I almost walked past the Video arcade. I would have totally missed it except I saw some game machines just as I was about to completely pass by it. Apparently I wouldn't be able to completely trust myself to recognizing building and places by walking around. As I've seen them, usually a few people are standing in front of the doors or place. This would usually give me a wider view then if I were standing as one of those people. I'll have to be careful I didn't miss anything else.
I looked in to the windows, by the classic put your hands around your face (getting rid of the sun which interrupted your view) and look into the window. I couldn't see any of the scouts as far as I could see. Their were two 12 year olds looking at me kind of strange. I couldn't figure out why, till I realized my breasts were also pushed up to the window. I stepped back and decided to go the more direct route. I walked back to the front automatic doors and walked in as they slid open for me. The arcade looked as I remembered it from the TV show. Cash counter and game machines. I didn't see Rei or any of the other scouts. I moaned in disappointment. All this work to get to the arcade and none of the scouts were here. Not even Luna or Artemis.
For all I knew they could have doubled back to the temple. I was about to go outside and determine my next plan of action when a solution presented itself. Andrew was coming out of the back room. He worked here and could tell me if any if Serena, Rei or anyone else was here. I went up to the counter.
"Gah.." was what I said. I meant to say, "Hi Andrew, you see Rei or Serena?" but "Gah" was what came out.
He just looked at me, semi confused I guess. "Hello Ami-chan."
Good, he gave me an opening to ask about the others. "Gah!" I said again. Shit, I was feelng the same was as I did when I started seeing my reflection. My heart was racing and I think I was starting to blush. I had to get control of myself. Ami could talk to him. I should be able to do it too. I grabbed the end of my skirt for something to hang onto, and slowly asked "Did you see Rei or..."
He didn't even let me finish my question, he just answered, "Rei and the others just left a few minutes ago."
I would have felt relieved, except I was still fighting the 'crush' feeling I was having for Andrew. "Ok", I replied in a love struck voice. My mind was telling me to leave, but my body wouldn't move.
"Anything else I can help you with?", he asked me.
"Yea, help me leave!" I was about to yell back, but I didn't. I just stood silently for what felt like hours. My heart thumping like a jackhammer in my chest. I couldn't figure out why he couldn't hear it.
I'm still trying to mentally block what happened next. Even though it was a dream, what I did next could have turned it into a nightmare. Sufficient to say I leaned over the counter, and kissed him. Not just a small kiss on the cheek, but an arm around him, not let go, right on the mouth, almost French kiss. He didn't really do anything either way. Just kind of stood their dumb founded. I guess I couldn't blame him. After all, he'd known Ami for a while, and Ami never hinted towards anything like that. I spend a day in her body, and I almost French kiss someone. I'll probably get beat up, or marked a freak if anyone found out I said this, but kissing a guy (WHILE AS A GIRL!!!) was nice. I really liked kissing Andrew when I did it. I don't really know what happened, because as soon as I regained control over my body, I rushed out of their like a crazy man.
After I had exited the Arcade and was a good way down the block, I gathered myself. Well, actually I swore at myself like an idiot for a good few minutes. Then I gathered myself. What was done was done. I'll have to live with it, and hope I wouldn't have to explain it. Hopefully I could return to my own life before it became public knowledge. I had to admit Andrew did reach about a 10.10 on the hot hunk scale that was stuck in my mind. Being a girl can be dangerous apparently. Getting vergers to kiss guys. Well at least Andrew wasn't a stranger to Ami or anything. Or would it have been better if he were?
And the worse part, was I didn't find out which direction the girls went in. I was about to walk back and ask when I stopped myself after the second step. "No, I'm not going back their." I said out loud.
I was back to square one either way. Where to find the others. I was about to go back to the temple, when by pure luck, I saw what would lead me to the scouts. Down the street, walking away from me, was a cat, riding on the shoulder of a girl with two long pony tails. She was walking with three other girls. A long-haired blonde, a brunette, and a girl with a short bouncy ponytail. I had found the scouts.
Sorry this took so long. Xmas season and all.
