Ami and Sapphire
The Reason: Got the idea of Ami and Sapphire as a couple while I was writing my fic about Usagi and Rubeus. I was writing the part of Rubeus introducing Usagi to everyone and I got to Sapphire for some reason Ami popped in my head.
Ami wondered around Crystal Tokyo and smiled to herself. Sometimes she was still amazed by the technology that existed in Crystal Tokyo. There were rumors of people trying to achieve time travel. So far the only ones who Ami know who were capable of time travel was Setsuna who she had first meet back during their battle with the Black Moon Clan. That brought her to thinking about Sapphire. How much she did miss him and constantly reminded herself of how little she knew about him. Sailor Moon had healed him along with Koan, Berthier, Petz, and Calveras. Sapphire had been killed by Wiseman when he tried to save Diamond. The Black Moon Clan was brought back to life when Eternal Sailor Moon restarted the Galaxy Cauldron. Later Ami saw Diamond and Emerald together and she smiled remembering how fast Emerald had drug Diamond away when he had been called to the palace to get him away from Serenity. When the Aykashi Sisters were reborn they set up their shop again in Crystal Tokyo. Ami knew that Petz and Sapphire had loved each other in the past and she wondered if Sapphire had been brought back along with the rest of the Black Moon Clan. Diamond had once said he could feel his brother but did not know where he was.
Lost in her thoughts Ami did not even realize she walked into someone until the person was helping her up. "Are you okay?" someone asked.
"Yes I am sorry," Ami's voice caught in her throat as she stared at the man before her and into his deep blue eyes. "Sapphire," she whispered.
"Hi Ami," Sapphire smiled helping her to her feet.
"You are back," Ami smiled.
"For someone who is so smart you say the obvious," Sapphire replied. "Would you like to go somewhere and get coffee?"
"I would like that," Ami said taking his offered arm.
"What were you so lost in thought about? Sapphire asked.
"Things," Ami replied.
"How did things turn out?" Sapphire wondered.
As if reading his mind Ami spoke. "After you were killed trying to save Diamond, Diamond died trying to save Serenity, I mean Usagi. We were able to defeat Wiseman. We had other enemies and eventually," Ami gestured around her, "Crystal Tokyo came to be. Even King Endymion's former guards appeared again but their spirits inhabited stones and can never take human form again." Ami said the last part with a bit of sadness since regaining her memories from the Silver Millennium but her and Zoicite had already reconciled with one another. "Have you been to see Petz yet?" Ami asked and quietly added, "Do you know she is married?"
Sapphire nodded. "Petz and her sisters are all married." Then Sapphire smiled, "But you knew that already didn't you?" Ami nodded. "Rubeus said he was going to get Koan back."
"There are plenty of girls in Crystal Tokyo," Ami said. "I am sure Rubeus will find someone."
"After the way he treated her I am really surprised that Rubeus though she had waited for him," Sapphire replied. "Then again I had hoped Petz would have waited for me."
Ami smiled and touched Sapphire's hand lightly. "I must be getting back to the palace."
Sapphire nodded and stood. "May I walk you back?"
Ami shook her head. "I really must hurry. Maybe we can do this again sometime?"
"Of course," Sapphire bowed and in an instant Ami was gone. "She is still as much of a mystery as I remember," he thought with a smile.
"Diamond," Sapphire shielded his eyes. "Do you two have to do that on the couch?"
"It was only a kiss," Diamond replied.
"This," Sapphire kissed Emerald on the forehead which was a greeting among their clan, "is a kiss. What you two were doing I really would have had to shield my eyes f I had been any later." Diamond merely ignored his younger brother and went back to making out with Emerald.
"Oh wait," Emerald suddenly said pushing Diamond away. "Look," Emerald said shrilly throwing her hand in Sapphire's face. "Diamond asked me to marry him," she beamed.
Congrats to you both," Sapphire smiled. "Guess I will need to go look for a new place to live."
"No bother," Diamond said, "Em wants to move into the county away from Crystal Tokyo and start new."
"Okay," Sapphire replied as he went t his room. "And you two get off the couch." Sapphire was surprised as he laid down to sleep that instead of Petz's face as he had seen so many nights before tonight Ami's face was the last thing he saw in his mind as he drifted off to sleep.
"Mercury, where have you been?" Venus asked. "The meeting started thirty minutes ago."
"Sorry," Mercury blushed even though she tired not to.
"Okay that's it," Venus said. "This meeting is over," as she let her Senshi persona fade letting the other Senshi know it was okay to do the same. "You were with a boy. Spill," Minako demanded. "You can't be shy Ames. It's just us Senshi," Minako gestured to the Inners, Outers, Asteroid Senshi and Queen Serenity.
Rei put her arm around her wife, "Calm. Breathe," While Haruka, Michiru, Michiru, Hotaru and Usagi grinned. Setsuna sat there calmly and Makoto smiled remembering how the four of them used to be and thinking about Urawa. Juno, Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas said nothing out of respect for the elder Senshi although they looked as if they were in their mid twenties.
"You can't hide from the Goddess of Love," Minako beamed jumping up but Rei quickly pulled her back down.
"Sit," Rei ordered.
"Well you know," Ami began still uncomfortable on the subject of guys and began blushing again, "the Black Moon Clan came back."
"You were with Diamond?" Minako asked.
"What? No," Ami quickly answered.
"Why would she be with Diamond?" Makoto asked.
"Cause he is gorgeous," Minako replied all dreamy eyed. Rei crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "I was bewitched by his hair," Minako grumbled.
"And the people of Crystal Tokyo wondered by Serenity suggested that anyone born with white hair change their hair color," Setsuna sighed.
"She spoke," thought Juno surprised.
Usagi saw Juno's face and laughed, "Puu does talk just not much."
"Weren't we talking about Ami?" Makoto asked. "So who were you with?" Makoto grinned and squeezed Ami's shoulder.
"Sapphire," Ami said turning an even bright shade of red.
Ami sighed as she fell into her bed. Usagi had even called Serenity to the Senshi meeting room. Everyone was surprised she ran all the way through the palace without tripping but then soon as she stepped in the room she had let go of the skirts of her dress while she was still running. The regal ruler of Crystal Tokyo did a loud face plant on the palace's marble floor. Ami had been the closest and moved to help her queen up but Haruka had already helped her to her feet to which Makoto had said something along the lines of Haruka was not called the Senshi of Wind for nothing. Ami still could not believe that Sapphire was alive.
"Calm down girl," she thought. "Just because he is alive does not mean he even has feelings for you."
"Venus," Mercury said walking up to the Senshi of Love as she was talking to a guard.
"Mercury," Venus nodded and finished listening to the solider who slightly bowed to the Senshi of Water before continuing her report. "Thank you. That will be all." After the solider left Venus dropped her serious look and gave her that beaming smile. "What ya need?"
"Can we talk in private?" Mercury asked quietly.
Once they got to Venus' room both Senshi de-transformed and she spun on Ami. "Okay Ami why are you acting like your old sky quiet self?"
"I do not know what to do about Sapphire," she said.
"But Urawa," Minako started.
"I liked him but that was a crush and we are just friends. I really feel something for Sapphire. I have since we first encountered the Black Moon Clan," Ami told her blonde friend.
Just then Jupiter ran in the room. "Hey Mina have you seen," Jupiter stopped in mid sentence when she saw Ami and Minako sitting on Minako's bed. Jupiter just smiled. "Holo call Ami."
"Thanks Mako. Can you tell them to patch it through to my room?" Ami asked.
Jupiter nodded, "Already done."
When Ami had left Minako turned to Jupiter. "What is it?" she asked hyperly.
Jupiter sighed, "Mina you know I can't tell you that."
"It was Sapphire wasn't it," Minako beamed.
"They are gong to be so cute together," Jupiter answered, de-transformed before lying down on Minako's bed.
"Wonder who is calling me?" Ami thought. "The only people I talk to are the Senshi and Mom but she is here in the palace." Then she had a terrifying thought and whispered "mother" before running down the hall to her room in fear her mother was dying. "Holo on. There is Mercury," she said quickly waiting for the Holo phone screen to come into view.
"Is everything okay?" Sapphire asked as his image came into view. He saw her visibly relax.
"I had heard it was a call about my mother," Ami replied.
"Is she ill?" he asked.
"No, she is the Crystal Palace's doctor but the people of pre Crystal Tokyo whose life span was expanded by Serenity do not live as long as we do." Ami said.
"We as in the Senshi," Sapphire asked.
Ami nodded and then paused before looking at Sapphire puzzled. "How did you get access to this line?"
"Well I kept calling and calling and getting the run around. The last time I tried Jupiter happen to be in there. Not sure if they called her in cause I kept trying to get you or what," Sapphire laughed at the last part.
Ami smiled. "Kind of sweet," she thought, "that he wanted to get in touch with me so badly. Maybe he does like me?"
"I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner," Sapphire asked her. "With me," he quickly added.
"That would be lovely," Ami replied. "Oh and next time you call on the Holo Screen you say you wish to speak to Mercury Amille. That is how they know you truly know me and will patch it to wherever I am."
"Would you be free tonight?" Sapphire asked.
"I need to check my," Ami started but was interrupted as Neo Queen Serenity burst into her room. "You majesty," Ami bowed to the ruler of Crystal Tokyo and her long time friend.
"Mercury," Neo Queen Serenity smiled then looked at the holo viewer and nodded, "Sapphire."
"Your majesty," he bowed.
Neo Queen Serenity grinned widely. "Minako was right. These two are cute together." She gathered her composure again. "Now why am I here?" she said a loud. "Oh yeah! I remember. Venus has already talked to me and I am aware of the situation."
"What situation my queen?" questioned Ami.
"Mercury your schedule has been cleared for tonight," Neo Queen Serenity said nonchalantly and then gave her a Venus style wink that she thought Sapphire could not see.
"Serenity still acts like her past self when she is alone with her friends," Sapphire thought with a slight laugh.
"Thank you Serenity," Ami bowed as the queen turned to leave. "I shall be out of the palace tonight." The Queen of Crystal Tokyo nodded and left.
"That was convenient," Sapphire said once she was gone.
"Too convenient," Ami thought. "Yes," was her only answer.
"If it is okay with you we could have dinner around 8pm," Sapphire suggested.
Ami replied with a nod. "Where shall I meet you?" Ami inquired.
"At the Din Tai Fung," Sapphire replied.
"I will see you at 8pm," then Ami replied before ending the call. Immediately Ami's chamber door burst open and four figures fell into her room.
"Idiot," Rei yelled pushing Serenity off of her.
"You are so mean Rei," Serenity pouted. "You should be nicer to your queen."
"Only when you deserve it Odango brain," Rei shot back and stuck her tongue out.
"As much as I miss you and Rei's tongue was could you can Minako kindly get off me," Makoto asked.
"Sorry," Serenity said smoothing her dress.
"I kinda like where I am," Minako purred causing Makoto to blush.
"Sometimes you flirt with the girls as much as Haruka," Rei told Minako.
Minako jumped up and went to Ami. "Don't even think about wearing your fuku," Minako told her.
"I was not planning on it Minako. I know that our basic fuku is the dress code around the palace while our eternal fuku is for battle and our princess gowns are for balls," Ami countered.
"Good," Minako said crossing her arms.
"Out of all of us Minako is the closest to having split personalities," Ami though looking at their leader seeing the self proclaimed Goddess of Love before her and then thinking about Venus on the battlefield. "Then again our battle personalities are different then when we are out of battle just Minako is more so."
Ami had teleported herself to a near by alley and was now running toward the restaurant where she was suppose to meet Sapphire. "Minako took too long helping me pick out something to wear," Ami thought with a sigh. Rounding the corner Ami let out a sigh of relief. "Good he is not here yet," she said aloud to herself. Entering the Din Tai Fung she told the hostess she was to meet someone there but needed the ladies room first. The woman smiled and with a nod pointed to the right corner in the back of the restaurant. "Thank you," Ami bowed to the woman.
"Damn Diamond," Sapphire grumbled rounding the corner. "I did not need his nor Emerald's fashion advice," he thought. Sapphire entered the Din Tai Fung at the same time, but unknown to him, Ami stepped in the ladies room. Sapphire took a deep breath and smoothed his coat. "Good evening," Sapphire said. "I have reservations but my date is not here yet. Can you please point me to the men's room?" The woman smiled and pointed to the right back corner of the restaurant. "Thank you," Sapphire bowed.
"They would be cute together," the hostess thought as Sapphire walked away.
Once Ami had checked her hair and make up she stared into the mirror. "You can do this," she mentally told herself. She checked her watch and hurried out of the ladies room hoping he was not waiting there thinking that she had stood him up. Ami was not looking where she was going when she came out of the ladies room and ran into someone. "I am sorry sir," Ami bowed deeply and heard the man chuckle.
"We really need to quit meeting this way Ami," Sapphire said holding an arm out to her. "Shall we go to our table?"
"Yes, please," Ami took his arm with a smile and a slight blush.
As the couple made their way to the front of the restaurant to claim their reservations the hostess smiled. "So they are together," she thought, "that is so cute." Opening the reservation book she looked at Sapphire. "You name Sir and reservation time?"
"Moon 8pm," Sapphire replied.
"This way please," a man said picking up two menus. When they came to a small candle lit table by the window he gestured for Ami to sit. "Your table," he said and Sapphire went to go pull the chair out for Ami before taking his own. "Your waiter will be with you shortly," he said placing the menus in front of them.
"Thank you," Ami and Sapphire both replied picking up their menus.
The man tried to casually hurry back to the hostess station. "Momoko," he whispered, "Do you know who that woman was?"
"Yes Kyuusuke," she smiled. "It is so cool to have her here."
"The old district has a nostalgic feel to it," Ami said as they look lover the menu. "I would have been perfectly fine going to Freshness Burger and getting a sandwich."
"I was not going to take you to a fast food place on our first date," Sapphire told her. "I was surprised it was still here."
"Serenity put a lot of effort in to keep Old Tokyo alive once Crystal Tokyo was form," Ami replied. "She was even able to restore the Moon Palace and that is where Usagi and the new ones sometime train with their more powerful attacks," she said in a whisper.
"What about Mercury?" he asked quietly.
"I and the others are trying to restore our castles but that is all," Ami replied. "The other planets in our solar system can no longer support life as they could during the Silver Millennium."
"My name is Dai and I will be you waiter," a man said holding a pad. "Are you ready to order," he asked Ami.
"I will have the noodle soup with sliced bamboo shoot and green vegetables," Ami told him. "Please no shrimp."
He wrote down Ami's order and looked at Sapphire, "You sir."
"I would like the braised beef noodle soup," Sapphire replied, "Also water for both of use please."
"Would you like an appetizer or salad before your meal?" Dai asked.
"A small salad with light dressing," Ami replied.
"Same for me too please," Sapphire replied, "but dressing on the side." The waiter nodded and walked away.
"Serenity I don't care if you are the Queen of Crystal Tokyo," Rei said, "You are not going to spy on Ami." Serenity smiled and opened her mouth to speak. "Not even using the Luna pen." Rei stated firmly holding the pen up. She could only smile as Crystal Tokyo's queen sat on Rei's bed pouting like a child. "Why don't we go see what Makoto is cooking up," Rei suggested. Serenity's eyes lit up at the mention of food as she rushed out of Rei's room toward Makoto's private kitchen.
"Dinner was lovely. Thank you," Ami told Sapphire as they took a stroll in the park.
"I hope I can see you again," said hopefully.
"I would like that too," Ami replied looking at him and blushing. "Is he going to kiss me?" She wondered as they stopped in front of the lake.
Sapphire looked over at Ami nervously. "It is not like I have not kissed a woman before but I do not want to push her away," he though. Sapphire turned to Ami and took her hand then leaned close to her. "May I," her whispered.
Ami nodded as she rose up to kiss Sapphire while he leaned down to kiss her. He felt her lips push into his harder than her expected. Sapphire was surprised at the force of kiss and wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling her closer to him. When they pulled apart both were left breathless.
"Wow," Ami said blushing. "My heart and pulse are racing," she thought.
"Until next time," Sapphire bowed to Ami before looking around. Then he nodded to Ami who smiled back and before he could blink was gone. Sapphire sighed with a smile and sticking his hands in his pockets began to walk home.
"So dear brother," Diamond said as Sapphire walked in the door. "How was your date with the Ice Senshi?"
"What are you doing still up?" Sapphire asked.
"Em and I were asleep but I woke up when I felt a strong wave of emotion over come you," Diamond grinned.
"Tonight was amazing," Sapphire said. "Ami is truly the smartest of the group. We have so much in common. Not only do we both have a love for science but she also likes to play chess. Also we both like to read some of the same kinds of books. You call me strange brother but Ami also like the Old World American writer Edgar Allen Poe. There is something dark about his works that can reach to even the happiest person. I believe Ami is lonelier than she lets on."
"Sapphire all the Senshi are lonelier than they let on. They bare the weight of the world on their shoulders," Diamond stated.
"I am going to bed," Sapphire said walking toward his room.
"Night brother," Diamond replied going to his and Emerald's room and closing the door.
"Everything okay," Emerald mumbled as Diamond crawled back into bed.
"Fine love," Diamond said before kissing her. "Sapphire was just getting in." Emerald grinned and she began kissing down Diamond's chest. He smile and clasped his hands behind his head. "Looks like I will not be getting back to sleep tonight," he thought as he felt Emerald pulling on the top of his boxers with her teeth.
When Ami got back to her room in the palace she found Minako, Minako, Rei and Serenity waiting for her. "You are back awfully late," Minako grinned. "What happened?" she asked pouncing on the bluenette.
"Nothing," Ami blushed. "We had a nice dinner and then took a walk in the park."
"You're in love," Minako beamed.
Ami nodded still blushing. "Sapphire is so amazing and intelligent."
"We he was the scientist for the Black Moon Clan," Makoto stated.
"I just wish I had been able to have more time together when we were younger to get to know him," Ami sighed.
"Back then he was in love with Petz," Rei said.
"Now you have all the time in the world to get to know him," Serenity grinned.
Sapphire and Ami were sitting on a hill over looking the Crystal Palace watching the sunset. "Ami," Sapphire began. "I know we have only bee together for a short time."
"Six months, two weeks, one day," Ami looked at her watch, "fifteen hours, thirty two minutes and five seconds," she blushed.
"I thought Pluto was the time keeper," Sapphire chuckled kissing Ami lightly. Sapphire looked deep into her eyes as he held her hand. "I know we have only bee together for a short time," Sapphire began again. "Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he asked pulling out a box from his pocket.
Ami put her hands over her mouth in surprised as Sapphire opened the box to reveal a sapphire stone and a light blue stone on a silver band. Ami could only nod as she held her left hand out to Sapphire as he took the ring out of the box and slid it on her hand. Finally Ami was able to speak. "Yes," she nodded with tears forming in her eyes. "Yes I will marry you," Ami leaned over to Sapphire and kissed him deeply as the last rays of sun light disappeared from the sky.
**** In case there was any confusion the other pairings in this fic were:
Serenity/Endymion – Canon
Usagi (ChibiUsa)/Hotaru – hinted at in the manga as closer than friends
Haruka/Michiru – Canon
Rei/Minako – hinted at in the manga and PGSM as closer than friends. In this fic Minako
flirts with the girls as much as Haruka but mainly with Ami and Makoto
Makoto/Urawa – Urawa has brown hair like her old sempai which in my opinion I think goes back all the way to the Silver Millennium when she was in love with Nephrite. That love for him carried over into her reincarnation so she fell hard for her sempai and compared all guys since him to him not realizing she was really comparing all guys to Nephrite. Urawa eventually got her to stop comparing other guys to her old love, Nephrite, and was able to completely win her heart.
Setsuna/Seako Mizuno – I thought of this pairing after I wrote this fic and was reading a fic by Konto. Since I want to write a Setsuna and Seako fic and I did not pair anyone with Setsuna in this fic I decided to say she is paired with Seako even though it is not shown here in this fic.
**** Don't know why I paired Makoto and Urawa together. Urawa just popped in my heard when I was writing about Makoto and wondered who she ended up with.
**** When I had Minako say, "You can't hide from the Goddess of Love." all I think thinking about was the episode of Xena when Gabrielle was being chased by the Amazon turned Goddess that wanted to kill her because she said: "Where are you Gabrielle? You can't hide from a God!"
**** Din Tai Fung is an actual restaurant in Japan.
