Sorry for leaving you hanging. I had tests projects and my stupid internet broke down. I got a computer that has an attitude.

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon. If I did I wouldn't have to take the ELA's and those stupid projects.

Cloud Nine

Groaning Ami flipped her pillow over her head as sunlight streamed into her room. Another day of school, Ami thought as she shaded her eyes from the glaring sun. Getting dressed the blue-haired girl ran a brush quickly through her short hair. Looking at herself in the tall mirror Ami wondered about Saturday. Why in heavens name did Zachary call her pretty? Was it to make Ami tell his father to let him off duty on volunteer or is just doing that to get one of her friend's attentions?

She could have just stood there and pondered on it forever. Sighing Ami got dressed in her uniform and shook her head disapprovingly at the very short skirt that went with her uniform. Serena loved the short skirt and the way Darien can't seem to take his eyes off her long, elegant legs when they bicker. Glancing at the clock above her bed Ami picked up her book bag and ran downstairs. Her mother was there flipping pancakes and making biscuits.

"Good morning, Ami. How are those headaches of yours? Did you take aspirin like I told you too?"

"Yeah Mom. Their gone. I have to go help the others wake up Sere before she makes us all late. Bye Mom!"

Picking up a biscuit Ami ran out of her apartment and towards the elevator. Whiling waiting for the elevator Ami devoured her biscuit and thought about those mysterious headaches that came on and off yesterday. Frustrated that she didn't know the answer Ami vowed that she would find the answer even if it meant cutting time off of her hangout time at the arcade with her friends. When the elevator door opened Ami saw only one occupant.

"Good morning Kusakabe-san. How are you today?" Ami asked the old woman almost 50 years her senior as she stepped into the elevator.

"I'm fine Ami. How about you? I heard that you have been having headaches on Sunday. You should go see the doctor. My son complained about headaches and look what happened to him," Kusakabe said with noticeable pain in her eyes.

Ami nodded but inside she shuddered. She did NOT have a brain tumor. It was too horrible to think about. She had her whole life ahead of her including her graduation next week and the prom in 2 days. Also she wanted to become a surgeon. So many things still left to do in her life she couldn't have brain tumor. It was just some stupid headaches.

Getting off at her stop Kusakabe bid Ami farewell and told her to have a good day. Ami smiled and said the same. Getting off at the 1st floor Ami walked out of the door and stopped long enough to bid the doorman 'good morning'. Walking out Ami pushed the matters of a possible brain tumor into the back of her mind. Moments later at Serena's house everybody even Tsukino-san was trying to wake Serena up.

"SERENA! Get your lazy ass up! It's 7:50 in the morning! We're going to be late! Did you hear me Odango?"

Groaning Serena said sleepily,"Don't call me Odango…"

Giggling Minako and Lita were trying very hard to contain their amusement as they snapped pictures of Serena in bed. It was a Kodak moment seeing elegant and gorgeous Serena Tsukino with her long legs sprawled all over the bed like a man watching football on TV would do on a sofa. Laughing quietly at all the chaos going on in the Tsukino household Ami watched content with just standing by the side. Rei was very angry right now. She was really going to blow. Stomping over to Serena's desk Rei picked up Serena's romance novels and started throwing them at Serena's head. That really woke her up.

"Rei! Those are expensive! I bought them with my allowance!"

"Then wake up you lazy pig!"

"Alright! I'm up!"

Muttering to herself, Serena got dressed in a jiffy and took a look at the clock.

"OH MY GOD! Its 7:58 and you guys didn't bother to tell me! I'm going to be late!"

Ami said,"Serena! Calm down! You're clock is 5 minutes ahead!"

Without comprehending what Ami had just said Serena rushed to the bathroom and got ready in a record time of 3 minutes. Running out the door Serena forgot something. Her precious lunch. Snickering Rei took Serena's lunch and stuffed it in her own knapsack.

"That'll show her about waking up late and punching me."

Sighing Ami shook her head. Rei always held grudges. Even when they were 2 days ago. Rei never forget and forgive. She hadn't even heard of the term.

5 hours later-Lunch time!

Plopping down underneath a sakura tree Ami tried to catch her breath. Thank god her friends did not have the same lunch that she did. Ami recalled what had happened during Chemistry.

Flashback

Ami sat down in her seat in the back of the classroom near the window where she could see her lunch spot which was underneath a sakura tree. While looking out the window Ami start daydreaming about a certain person. While daydreaming she didn't realize Zachary sit right next to her until he said,"Hey gorgeous. I haven't seen you for a day. I miss your smile." Startled Ami whipped around. She blushed as she realized who was sitting next to her with a gorgeous mischievous smirk gracing his handsome features.

During the whole class Ami was nervous and at the same time on cloud nine. Zachary kept staring at her during the whole period not even hiding the fact that he was interested her. He also kept asking questions in chemistry which was his best subject until Nagoya-sensei snapped at him to let Ami tutor him on weekends. Ami was shocked that Nagoya-sensei had picked on her. When she suddenly realized Zachary's plan Ami was definitely miffed.

Whispering fiercely to the blond god sitting beside him with a smug smile on his face Ami said, "You planned this all along didn't you? You WANTED Nagoya-sensei to tell me to tutor you didn't you?"

Grinning innocently Zachary replied," Hey it isn't my fault. It's not my fault the boy population is retards not to notice you."

Blushing but still angry Ami turned away from him and concentrated on the lesson. When the bell rang Ami stood up abruptly and walked out still miffed at Zachary. When she was at her locker to put away her things and go to lunch Zachary and trapped her against her locker with his hands on both side of her head on the lockers behind her.

"You okay Ames? I just wanted to see you on Sunday and afterschool instead of just Saturdays so I got into trouble on purpose. You okay?" Zachary looked down at her blushing face in concern. Then his face had turned emotionless and he had said,"Or don't you like me?"

Bewildered at why he would think that Ami blurted out,"No! I really like you…"Blushing at what she had just said Ami cleared her throat and said more calmly still blushing," I mean in a friendly way."

Looking amused Zachary had let her go reluctantly and when Ami was about to walk away Zachary had grabbed her and hauled her up to him and kissed her thoroughly. When he let her go Ami opened her eyes revealing shock and pleasure. Smirking and looking smug Zachary let her go casually and said," Wait for me at the front door today. I'll take you home. We'll go out for ice cream."

End Flashback

Blushing and hugging her knees herself Ami sighed and smiled happily. She was on cloud nine. Today was such a good day. Zachary had asked her out. Smiling happily Ami did not see the dreary things in her false bright future.

A/N: The last sentence was a peek into the future. This story would be really sad. All the rest of the "Forever" stories will be when the group grows up. I'll give you a hint. Someone dies. If you want me to change it into a happy ending say so now.
