Song: I'll Never Tell
Previously on "Tabula Rasa", Ami and Mako shared a tender moment after a very traumatic day. They have been avoiding talking about it ever since their memories returned...
Chapter 4-I'll Never Tell
"Let me walk you home." Mako picked up her stuff and followed Ami. Ever since they got their memories back, things had been weird between them. It certainly was a strange turn of event, which led to their first kiss and their first intimate moment. Mako didn't want this to stand in the way of their relationship, or worse, ruin their friendship.
"I am fine." Ami duck her head and quicken her pace. She didn't want to end up bursting into songs and sing about her feelings for Mako. That was the last thing she needed.
They walked side by side in silence. The street was quiet except for their footsteps. Mako yearned to reach over and just take Ami's hand. She wanted to know if Ami really like her back, but doubts clouded her mind and she clamp her mouth shut. Sometimes, something was better left unsaid.
Ami took out her key and unlocked her door. She hesitated a second, but decided against inviting Mako in. So she turned and said good night to her friend.
Mako didn't say anything back, but stared intensely at Ami. Mako could remember how she felt when Ami almost died in that car. She could remember how her heart felt like it was being shredded to million pieces when she thought she couldn't save Ami. It was all real. Hecate's spell erased everyone's memories, but the lost of them finally freed Mako's trapped feelings for Ami.
Mako slowly took a step forward and then grabbed Ami's hands…
(Mako)
This is the girl that I want to protect and
She is the one.
My life in past was to fight and not connect
I wanted to run.
But I'm paralyzed
She saved my soul again and again
The only trouble is…I'll never tell.
(Ami)
She is the one
The most amazing girl such passion and faith
We never talk, heart in lock, I will walk away, run away
I don't want to let go
The bond we have will maybe grow
There's just one thing that…NO
I'll never tell
(Both) 'cos there's nothing to tell…
(Mako)
She is
A genius
Her IQ is three hundred
She said these crazy theories
I don't understand.
I chase,
She escapes
She doesn't know she's the one.
My Ami is never mine,
She will always run
(Both)
The love gets kind of scary
(Mako)
What if I'm too ordinary,
(Ami)
What if it's all temporary,
(Both)
We all have baggage to carry,
But it's all very well
'cause, god knows
I'll never tell.
(Ami)
When I see her
She is a goddess in heaven
I am giving confession
My love for her is true
She's tough, she's pretty she's making me feel guilty
I never…
(Mako interrupts)
Please don't feel guilty
(Ami)
I just can't help it. I…
Mako: Look at me. I am dancing crazy!
Mako grabbed Ami's hands and started to dance to a fast jazz melody. Like a musical, they started to spin each other around.
(Both) You know….
(Ami) You're quite the soldier
(Mako) My girl in armour
You're the cutest of the senshi, to my heart you carry the keys and
Please do not ever run away….
A slow violin melody sounded. Mako pulled Ami closer and the two stood looking at each other. Both could feel the heat intensifying between them….
(Ami)
You are,
My princess,
You'll always be my princess
That's why I'll never tell you cuz I'm terrified
I've read this tale
There's dating
Then betrayal
I know I will mess up I'll want to run and hide
(Both)
I lied
I said it's nothing
I've tried
But there's these fears I can't deal.
(Ami)
Is she looking for a girl with smiles?
(Mako)
Will she walk with me for hundred miles?
(Ami)
Will I spend my life with worry, if my sorrow gets too heavy
(Mako)
What if I get very clingy, what if she thinks I'm too angry
(Ami)
Am I dreaming
(Mako)
Am I crazy
(Ami)
Am I worthy to have her love
(Both)
We could really destroy everything if we all fail
So thank god
I'll never tell
I swear
That I'll never tell
My lips are sealed
We are just friends
Nothing to see
Move it along
I'll never-Tell.
By the time the song ended, the two had waltz into Ami's apartment. They stared at each other awkwardly as they tried to process what they just sang.
Mako blushed profusely and unlinked her hands with Ami's. "It's getting late, maybe I should go home."
"Wait." Ami said quietly.
Mako turned around and felt a sliver of hope. Her heart pounded as she waited.
"Mako…." Ami took a deep breath. Her eyes glistened with tears as she glanced up at Mako. "I love you."
Not expecting Ami to be so blunt, Mako gasped. Ami took Mako's reaction the wrong way and she took a few steps back.
"Ami…." Mako smiled and pulled Ami in for a hug. "What took us so long…."
