Happy Turkey Day! Future time! When I mean future, I mean the near one, aka, graduation out of high school. Hope you enjoy anyway. One other thing; since they are 18 at this time, there will be adult themes. This is where the PG-13 rating kicks in. I don't own Sailor Moon.

"Mizuno, Ami!" the principal called out.

Ami stood up, smoothing her light blue dress down and walking across the stage to the center, blushing as she heard her four best friends screaming for her.

She reached the center and shook hands with the principal. "Thank you, sir." she bowed.

"This school will not be the same without you, Miss Mizuno. Take care." he bowed as well, handing her the diploma.

Ami took up and turned to smile for the picture being shot of her. After that was over, she made her way back to her seat.

When it was over, Ami cheered, throwing her cap up. She walked down the stage and was immediately brought into a big hug from her sobbing mother.

"Mother…" Ami groaned, but hugged her mother.

"I just can't believe my little baby is all grown up." the woman cried, tears hitting Ami's shoulders.

"Mother, it'll be ok. I'm not going to college until fall and I'll come back to visit for Christmas." she assured her.

"You're right dear, as always." the woman laughed, letting go. "I guess it's time I finally let go of you."

Ami smiled at her mother. "Mother…"

"Ami-chan!" a cry came behind her.

Her mother smiled at her only daughter. "Go ahead. Have fun. I'll be at home." She waved and walked to the other parents.

Ami turned and was almost tackled by Usagi. "Usagi-chan!" she cried out, laughing as she hugged her.

"Can you believe it? We're out of high school!" Usagi smiled, a ring flashing on her finger.

"No I can't." Ami laughed as Usagi let go. She turned to her other friends. "Wow, we're adults." she sighed.

The five of them stood like that until Minako spoke up. "So we have a couple hours to kill until Grad night. What do you want to do?"

They exchanged glances and in unison shouted out, "Shopping!" They laughed as they linked arms and walked away.

Usagi let go, though. "Mamo-kun!" she cried, jumping into her fiancée's arms.

"Usako…" he hugged her back, kissing the top of her head.

The others watched as Ami felt a presence behind her. "Hey, Urawa-kun." Ami hugged her boyfriend of 2 years and kissed him.

"So, how does it feel, Ami-chan?" he teased her. On account of him being a genius, he graduated 2 years ago.

"Great. I'm still a little shocked though. I'm actually an adult."

He laughed. "A brilliant one at that." He held her hand and kissed her again. "Have I told you today I love you?"

Ami giggled. "Not yet."

"Well, it looks like I'm late." He brought her into a hug & touched his forehead with hers. "I love you with all of my heart, Ami-chan."

Ami blushed at the intense look in his brown eyes. "I love you too, Urawa-kun." she told him, nipping him on the nose.

He was surprised, but a seductive grin appeared. "Well, if you want to eat something…" He began to kiss her neck.

Ami groaned softly, realizing he would leave a hickey there, but didn't care. "Oh, Urawa-kun…" she moaned.

He lifted his head & grinned at her. "Yes?"

Ami had a hard time breathing. "Don't…"

"Don't what?" he teased.

"Don't stop…" she gasped, blushing.

"Well, I'd like to go on, but I think we have an audience." he whispered, motioning behind her.

Turning, she saw her best friends' faces. She blushed. "Um, so shopping right?" she let go of Urawa and walked to her friends.

Rei grinned. "You might want to get a scarf. That's a pretty big one." she teased as Ami blushed even deeper.

"Oh yeah? Then what's that?" Ami pointed to a mark on Rei's neck.

"Shoot, my cover-up came off." She reached back to touch it lightly. "Ow, he bits hard." Then realizing what she had said, blushed.

The others laughed as Ami smirked. "So, like I said, ready?"

Rei blushed, then laughed. "Sure. Lets go."

Usagi said goodbye to Mamoru and the five walked off to their respective cars. "We'll go home to change then meet at the food court." Makoto rechecked.

"Yes." They all nodded, keys in hand.

"See you guys later!" Ami waved as she climbed into her blue Acura NSX her mother had bought her for her sixteenth birthday.

Starting it, Ami sat in in, just staring into space. "I can't believe it…" she whispered, gripping the steering wheel lightly.

Tears began to fall as Ami clutched the wheel harder. 'Oh, Zoi-kun, if only you were here to see it. But I know you're watching over me.' With that thought in her mind, she wiped her tears and pulled out.

Arriving home, she walked up to the penthouse and opened the door. "Hm, mother isn't home yet."

Dropping her keys on the counter, Ami instantly began to jump up and down, squealing. "I'm an adult now! Yes!" she screamed until a knock on her door broke her out of it.

Stopping, Ami walked over & opened the door to reveal a very angry looking old woman. "Hello, Mrs. Tsuki." she greeted, bowing.

"What is all this noise, Miss Mizuno?" Mrs. Tsuki asked, her eyes locking onto the mark on her neck.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Tsuki. I'll keep it down." She could tell the woman was staring at her hickey. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get ready." She closed the door and laughed as she walked to the shower.

Okay, so no romance, but just underlying the basics of Ami's life. Don't worry, Zoisite isn't out of it forever. You'll see. Please RR
