"You sure you don't have any idea how you got here?" Ami said, confused, after Nephrite finished his story.

"I really have no idea. I remember dying, and then I woke up here." He shuddered at the memory of that day. Ami turned her head and looked up to the sun.

Then her TeletiaS rang. Ami got up and answered it. "Hello? Usagi-chan.Youma? I'm on my way." Ami turned her head back to Nephrite and ran. Nephrite ran back to Crown. Surprisingly, that's where the youma was. He quickly got behind some bushes.

"This is unlike me." He thought. But still, he didn't move.

"Moon Prism Power. Jupiter Power. Mercury Power. Venus Power. Make up." He saw the girls transform. "I'm the sailor-suited soldier for love and justice, Sailor Moon! In the name of the moon, we'll punish you!" The girls were ready for battle. The youma put all the girls into ice except for Sailor moon. The youma grabbed her by the throat. "I wish Rei-chan was here! Then she could blast this youma and set everyone free."

Nephrite hadn't paid attention to the Senshis coated in ice. He stared at Ami, who looked like she could still see what was going on. He looked at his hands and an idea formed in his head. He hoped it would work. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He felt the heat of the fireball forming in his hands. He threw it at the youma. The creature dropped Sailor Moon and vanished. Sailor Moon looked around to see were the fireball had come from. Then she stood up and called "Moon Healing Escalation!" The ice that covered the Senshis disappeared.

"We're free. But how?" Minako said. The Senshis looked around.

"I don't know. I was being choked by the youma, and then a fireball came out of nowhere." Usagi said.

"Maybe it was Rei." Makoto said.

"That's what I thought too. But when I looked around, she wasn't there." Usagi said. "Weird." The girls walked off. But Ami stayed behind. "Ami-chan, you ok?" Usagi sounded worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine. You go ahead, I'll meet you later." She answered.

"Well, ok." Usagi walked off with the others. Ami walked towards Nephrite's hiding spot, untransformed. Nephrite got up and walked towards her. "Why? Why did you save Usagi-chan?" she asked.

"Well, actually, I did it for you. You couldn't be in ice forever." Nephrite smiled, as well as Ami. They walked side by side, hand in hand. They were back upon the field they were at earlier. Except, when they got there, Jadeite was there.

He created a giant energy ball at Nephrite. It hit him in the arm and he went skidding across the ground. "Nephrite!" Ami ran to his side. "Are you alright?" She asked. He let go of his arm to reveal a bloody bruise. It looked like it was infected as well. Ami stood up and transformed. "MERCURY POWER! Make up. I'm the soldier of water and knowledge, Sailor Mercury! In the name of Mercury, I'll punish you!" She stood with anger filling her eyes.

"Hmm. You think just because you're a senshi you can defeat me?" Jadeite laughed.

"Mercury Aqua Blizzard!" Ami yelled. Jadeite flew back. When he got up, he said only a curse and a statement, "He'll never be good enough." And teleported back to the Dark Kingdom.

Ami untransformed and turned back to Nephrite. She helped him up and into the forest. He was ok, except for the bruise. She searched in her pockets for something to stop the bleeding when she found a napkin. She wrapped it around his arm. "Thanks"

"No problem. We should get out of here." Ami said. Ami & Nephrite smiled at each other. They got up and left. They left the field and went to the docks. They we're in nothing but pure happiness. Nephrite turned his attention from the peaceful waves to the woman in his arms. She looked up at him, giving him an innocent look, and then turning back to the water. But her eyes hurt him. They no longer held her love for him, but anger towards him. How could he blame her? He had given up and let go of life. He let go of his promise. He turned her towards him.

"Ami, I apologize. For leaving you, that day. I never meant to hurt you." Ami still hadn't looked into his eyes. He lifted her head to make her. "I truly do love you."

"Don't. Don't do this. Don't make me fall in love with you again. You'll only leave me like you did." He shook his head. "Yes you will! You know what, leave already! Just leave. Make this hurt go away. Just GO!" She began to pound against his chest repeating that last line over and over until her pounds subsided and she collapsed, crying. Nephrite just held her. Soon, he faced her and laid his lips on her. Her crying stopped as she kissed back. They were in pure bliss, and stayed like that till they fell asleep in each other's arms. They stayed there until 8:00 the next day, then they returned home, happy as two teenage secret holding people could be. Before they parted, Nephrite said one thing.

"Ami?"

"Yes?"

"I fulfilled my promise."
