-Truth or Dare: Fates Conspiring-

The world was conspiring against her. Ami was convinced. This was the final shred of evidence. Everything about this trip was driving her to distraction, or pushing her to the limits of her usually calm demeanor. Starting with the bus ride out here.

Usagi had decided she looked like a comfortable pillow and had fallen asleep with her head in Ami's lap. While she could not fault the blonde princess specifically, she could blame the bus driver for hitting every bump on the highway. And with Usagi's combined weight, it had pushed her right up into Makoto. Pressing their hips and shoulders together with every jostle, and making Ami very aware of Makoto's preference for 'Apricot and Cream' body scrub. She had spent the greater part of the trip alternately willing her Senshi power to cool the warmth spreading through her body, and wondering if All of Makoto was that soft.

When they had arrived at the beach-side hotel, they were informed that the hot-water heater was on the fritz, and that it would be at least another day before the contract-workers would be out to fix it. As compensation the hotel had put them up in a large primere suite.

While that seemed a good thing at the time, it limited the five girls privacy quite a bit. Rei and Usagi had fought over it's large bed in a noisy battle of Princes Vs. Priestess. Mina had loudly described the whole thing to be "like a sleepover" and started a pillow-fight.

It had been a fun distraction, and had worn them all down to giggling and grumbling in the end. Makoto had gallantly dumped Mina off the couch, and bequeathed it Ami. Defending it with a chilling glare leveled at the protesting "Goddess". When Ami had objected, Mako had just laughed and told her: "Naw, I'll be fine really. I've slept on worse." Then gone into elaborate detail about the cushiness of the the carpet/floor rug/extra blankets and sweatshirt she had rolled into a pillow.

Despite Makoto's rambling, Ami had refused to leave it at that. Stubbornly insisting the taller girl take two of the cushions.

Their dispute had come to a screeching halt when an irritable Rei had let out an over-dramatic sigh and told them to: "Stop arguing and sleep together already." Ami was sure she had meant 'share the couch', however the comment struck a little close to home for the quiet genius. Ami had quickly thrown the two cushions at Makoto, doing her best to avoid eye contact with the tall brunette.
