Ami sat beside Chris in her advanced science class, speaking casually
with him to see if she could find anything out about what he and the others
were planning.
"So what made you decide to volunteer to come to Tokyo?" she asked.
"Well, mostly because I'm totally fascinated by the history. I mean, to think all this started as a small fishing town called Edo! At that time, Kyodo was the capitol of Japan, and the daimyo, or the feudal lords, were constantly fighting over gaining control of the whole country. But it was Tokugawa Layasu that took control of Edo and, by the seventeenth century, turned it into not only the biggest city in Japan, but also the biggest city in the whole world! But his methods of doing so ended up isolating Japan from the rest of the world for two-hundred fifty years. Some people say it still hasn't fully recovered, but."
Chris continued on for a long time, but Ami had stopped listening when Andi stepped shyly into the classroom and approached the teacher.
"Excuse me, sir, but I was wondering, could I use the lab after school? I'd like to run some experiments."
"Well, Miss Kolovski, I won't be here after school today. I have a meeting. Just what kind of experiments are you planning to do?"
"The Yoshiwara was where most of the firing was going on." Chris continued and Ami nodded, pretending she was still listening.
"Don't worry," she said quickly, "They're safe. I promise I won't destroy your lab or get hurt." Ami noted that the tone in her voice wasn't sounding too sure, but her teacher didn't seem to catch on.
"Well, alright. I'll give you the key and then you can do what you need to do. But don't forget to lock up when you're done in there."
"Thank you, sir." She said, accepting the key from him. "You can trust me."
Andi left, and Ami turned back to Chris.
".In the 1950's, and they used profits from the Korean War for more construction. They kept building and building, and now it's almost futuristic compared to most other cities, but it also contains elements of the past too. It's too bad that more people don't get to see Tokyo. It really is an amazing place."
Ami nodded and smiled at him. "Wow! You know more about the history of this city than a lot of the people who live in it! I'm impressed!"
((Note: I looked all that stuff that Chris said about the history of Tokyo up on and have to give them some credit.))
After class, Ami told Lita all about what she had heard in science class.
"Whoa," Said Lita, "That's weird."
"What do you think we should do, Lita?"
"One word: stakeout. We'll go to the science lab after school and find out exactly what she's up to."
"You mean.spy on her?"
"Exactly."
