(this is my 1st story so pleeease be nice?)

Makoto Kino walked threw the park slowly taking in the scenery. It was a beautiful spring evening, Sakura trees gracefully blooming, birds chirping and couples relaxing on the fresh grass. She was just talking by a young couple picnicking on a blanket when she saw her, Makoto sighed. Ami Mizuno sat by a large fountain. Her short, dark, unnaturally blue hair tucked behind small ears. Her face shown the concentration she had reading her book. Mako stood, feet firmly planted in the grass, she continued to dreamily gaze at her.

Right as Ami was getting to the 'good' part in her book she sensed someone watching her and looked up to meet the eyes of Makoto, one of her best friends. Smiling she softly patted the empty space next to her and shouted to Makoto, " Mako-chan! Come on over." Makoto snapped out of it and ran over, her pony tail bouncing as she did so. "Hey sorry to disturb you Ami-chan, what are you reading??" the brunette asked. " Oh.. Just Stephen Kings' 'Dream Catcher'" Ami answered softly. "Always reading." Makoto laughed "Cool. So how've you been?" asked Mako, her eyes sparkling. She loved to spend time with the bluenette.

"Umm…Good...My moms out on a business trip again though." The blue eyed beauty replied sadly. Makoto loved her eyes… they were a soft, light, blue, and always full of life. "Im sorry, you wanna stay at my place till she gets back?" Makoto asked knowing how lonely Ami could get when her mother was away. " That'd be great, thanks so much." Ami's face lit up, Mako laughed. "When do you wanna come over?" " Um… How about 8:00? I have to get my things together." The brain replied. Makoto glanced at her watch. "Sounds like a plan. Oh! I have to go clean my place! It's a total mess." Ami raised a brow, "Mako-chan? Your place is 'always a mess'." "Well... It's not my fault im a neat freak." Mako commented innocently, Ami giggled. "Ok so I'll see you then?" "Yup you betchya, bye." the brunette responded with a smile. "Bye." With that Makoto set off to her apartment to clean the hell out of it.

As Mako cleaned her already sparkling apartment she thought about her blue haired friend. 'I shouldn't feel this way…Im a girl, she's a girl. It just isn't right. I bet she'd hate me if I confessed my love to her. But… she never hated anyone before, so I don't think she could hate me. Even more so, I am sure she could never love me like I love her. She's been my best friend since… forever. She was the only one who understood the pain I felt when my parents were killed in the plane crash. She was the one who gave me hope, a place to stay until I got a job to pay for the apartment. She said she loves me… but I know she meant only as a friend. Why… why do I have to love her?!'

At the last thought Makoto Kino stopped dusting her book case and crumpled to the floor. Quiet sobs racked her frame as she held her head in her hands.A few moments later the door bell rang. Her head shot up and she rushed to the bathroom. "One moment!!" she called. After quickly splashing her flushed face with ice water from the sink, she dried her face, looked in the mirror, and scowled. She hated crying.

Opening the door she saw Ami waiting patiently, already amusing herself with that book. "Hey Ames-chan, come on in… I just finished cleaning." Makoto started back inside with Ami right behind her. Ami thought she'd heard Makoto's voice lower than usual which meant she was upset, but brushed it off as the brunette asked if she wanted a drink in her usual cheerful tone." Oh, yes water would be nice." Ami answered. "Okie dokie be back in a second, you can put your stuff on the couch." Makoto smiled and walked to the small kitchen to get her Ami a drink. "My Ami? Oh God…" Mako thought with a mixture of self-hate and disgust. As the brunette got the drinks Ami sat down on the couch. She turned on the T.V. and was a little startled to see a bloody corpse being examined on the screen. "She just has to like the X-files doesn't she?" Ami thought with a small smile.

Just then a reminder popped on the screen reading 'A Walk to Remember' in 20 minutes, Ami giggled. Just the Makoto walked in "What's so funny?" she asked, then looked at the screen. "Oh..Well..You know how much of a sucker I am for romance films." She admitted with a grin. Handing the bluenette her glass of water she sat down next to her with her own. "So are we going to watch it? It starts in 17 minutes." The blue eyed beauty asked. "Of course!" replied Makoto, eyes sparkling with delight. Ami just smirked.
