Although life in such a wonderful city would seem to be...well,wonderful,there were plently of rainy days,both figuratively and literally. Of the latter,once in the early summer,there was one of the worst thunderstorms since Ami,Yushi and Gojei were born.

Since she was not used to this sort of thing,upon each clap of thunder,Ami clung to Akasei tighter and tighter,until Akasei had to keep gently pulling her away each time. Finally,Akasei gave in and began cuddling her. She felt sorry for Ami,as her heart was beating so fast that you would think it would burst. Yushi and Gojei,equally as frightened,joined Ami and Akasei. It wasn't long before the storm stopped,and all was well once again.

Summer gave way to autumn,and one day Ami and her sisters awoke to find that the kitchen was full of balloons and pretty banners and such. They looked,and on the table there were three cupcakes;one had a yellow candle,another had a red one,and the last cupcake had a bright blue one.

Now,what was all this for? The three of them wondered. Akasei came in. (Joko was away at work.)

''Hello,'' She said to them, ''do you know what today is?''

The sisters just looked at her,confused.

''Something wonderful happened today,four years ago.''

Despite this clue,they still didn't understand.

''Today is your birthday!'' Akasei explained to them.

And with that,the three of them were perfectly excited. Akasei,seeing this,gave them their gifts. They didn't quite know what to do with them,though.

''Rip the paper,'' Akasei said to them.

That's what they did. Yushi's present was some heart-shaped hair clips,Gojei's was a fuzzy blue plush puppy,and Ami's was a toy drum.

They all loved their gifts,but Ami was absoultely enthralled with her drum,more so than Yushi and her hair clips or Gojei and her plush dog. She started playing it almost immediately. Yushi and Gojei were a bit annoyed,but Ami didn't care,not at all. And neither did Akasei.

After a while,Ami yawned,then asked Akasei to pick her up. As soon as Akasei did so Ami fell asleep,dreaming of playing her new drum and having great fun as...a rock star.


A/N: Short but sweet,eh? Well,that's it. Part one of the series is done. But don't worry,I've got plenty of other installments up my sleeve...stay tuned! The next one will be about Ami,Yushi and Gojei going to Kindergarten...and,what's more,I've already started working on it!

Well,as the real Ami and Yumi say, ''Bye-bye boo!''
