Reasons, Numbers & Those Pesky Feelings

Title: Do not! Do too!
Pairing: Ami/Zoi
Genre: shameless fluff!
Summary: One way Zachary Atwood might have learned of the not-so-platonic feelings of one Ami Mizuno.

It's been a very nice day for Ami Mizuno. She hums as she types the end of the article and saves her document on her USB disk with a smile on her face. Her mind's eargerly thinking of her upcoming weekend of relaxation--hanging out with the girls, enjoying Lita's fantastic cooking, ignoring Mina's love advice... Her computer screen fades to black and she picks up her books to leave, a catchy tune still on her lips.

She strolls out of the lit mag room, books in hand, only to encounter a sight that makes the cheery notes die on her lips.

Today is not a nice day, she abruptly decides as she glares at the couple making out in front of her.

It's Zachary and some, some... "Stupid skank" are the first two words that come to mind to describe the peroxide blonde hanging to her lab partner. She's slightly shocked at her inner rudeness, but the shock is quickly replaced by dangerous white-hot streaks of anger flitting through her mind.

Before she can even begin to understand what she's doing, she shouts at the girl in anger, "Get off of him, you skank!"

The moment the uncharacteristic words are out of her mouth, a crimson blush suffuses her entire face and all she wants to do is sink into a deep, dark hole somewhere far, far away.

The peroxide blonde turns to give her a strange look, before whispering to Zach in a sultry voice, "Call me..." and strutting away.

Her blush, if possible, turns an even darker shade of red as Zach turns to look at her, his face flooded with shock. "Ami? What just happened? Are you...?" Suddenly, comprehension dawns on him and a giddy grin spreads over his face, "You like me! Ami Mizuno, the self-proclaimed Ice Queen, likes me!"

His grin is equal amounts of smug and taunting and she fights to get the indignant words out of her mouth (she still has some dignity left), "I do not!"

"Do too! Do too!" He pranced around, completely oblivious to her lethal glare.

"Do not!" She denied forcefully.

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Argh! This is pointless--I'm going back to my dorm!" Ami almost yelled in frustration. She got a better grip on the heavy bundle of books she was carrying and stalked away.

As she reached the end of the hallway, she heard the distinct sound of someone shouting, "Do too!"

AN: Okay, I've been a totally crappy updater and I'm incredibly sorry. (And I'm sorry about the length of this thing.) It's just that everything's been incredibly hectic (with me averaging 4 hours of sleep every night and 2-3 tests a day). I'm so sorry. Good news is...There are four more scenerios to come and what I promised in the first segment--Zach's opinion of Ami. Plus, a special shout-out to two special reviewers: spud (who left me an incredibly sweet review) and Connie (who e-mailed me)! Thanks aeons to both of you and to all of the wonderful, wonderful individuals that have reviewed, put my stories on story alert, or even added my story to their favorites list.

As always, feedback is appreciated and keep an eye out for new (longer, hopefully) installments coming soon! -xoxo, aminitna
