SailorStar9: Anyway, Chapter 16 goes up. This is Chapter 17. To all my non-reviewing readers, I love you all! Will love you more if you review! *hugs all round!*
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny and the pairing.
Chapter 17: There Is Only One Answer
"Someone's happy." Minako teased, seeing a beaming Ami enter the Crown Arcade.
"Bet you something good happened." Makoto whispered to Rei.
"I don't take sucker bets, Mako." Rei whispered back.
"So," Minako started, letting Ami take the window seat. "Did anything good happen last night?" her eyebrows raised suggestively.
"Only these." Ami continued smiling, opening her cellphone to give the girls a look at the photos she had taken during the meteor shower.
"He took you to see a meteor shower?" the girls chorused.
"That is so romantic!" Minako squealed.
"Sorry!" Usagi dashed into the arcade. "Haruno-sensei gave me detention. So, what are all of you talking about? Is that…" she spotted the photos Ami had shown the girls.
"Yeah." Minako nodded. "We're just telling Ami what a great guy she's got."
"And it's all thanks to me!" Rei declared.
"Yes," Ami teased. "It's thanks to you, Hino-sama the matchmaker."
"At least my track record is better than yours, Mina." Rei shrugged.
"Hey!" Minako pouted, causing the girls to laugh.
He took her to a meteor shower? Usagi's eyes widened in envy. This isn't fair! Mamo-chan never does anything like that when we're out together! But if Ami's happy, she cast a look at the obviously in love girl genius. I should be happy for her, right? But why am I feeling jealous?
It's because you feel that you're only together because of the past; that he doesn't love you for you. A nagging voice in the back of her head answered back. Didn't he break up with you before because of a stupid dream?
He did it to protect me! Usagi argued back.
Between your life or your happiness, the voice retorted snidely. It's obvious which he would choose. But would you do the same for him? And need I remind you of Seiya? Don't tell me you weren't tempted back then before you knew she was Star Fighter?
"The second championship game of the Winter Cup preliminaries between Seirin High School and Shutoku High School will now begin." The referee declared.
He's jumping higher than before. Kise mused, seeing both teams fight over the ball, Kagami having slapped the ball out of Midorima's hands.
"Well, guess Midori-gaki took my advice." Ami grinned.
"Ami-nee-chan!" Kise beamed at the older teen; the Generation of Miracles having 'adopted' the girl genius as an elder sister back during their Teiko days.
"Although," Ami frowned. "When I told him to train up his endurance, I didn't expect him to go through my training menu twice a day. Taku, kids these days… no patience at all."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
