SailorStar9: With Chapter 3 uploaded, this is Chapter 4 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Pairings: Furuya Rei/Mizuno Ami

Disclaimers: I own absolutely nothing, except this plot and pairing.

Chapter 4: An Unwelcome Visitor

"And here I thought I left this behind thirteen years ago." Ami sighed, when she felt her backdrop shift into a watery blue along with a familiar pulse of power and a miniature replica of herself appeared on the coffee table. "Hello."

"I'm surprised you aren't freaking out." Guardian Mercury remarked amusedly.

"I got a heads-up from Minako-chan." Ami replied.

"Good, then this will make things easier." Guardian Mercury nodded. "Your Holy Highness, Crown Princess Hemia of Mercury." she bowed. "I am here to formally inform you that you are hereby required to claim the Frost Tiara for you have fulfilled the conditions necessary to be crowned."

"And if I refuse?" Ami posted a question.

"You don't have a choice." Guardian Mercury gave the former ice Senshi a stony look.

"At the very least, give me a good reason why." Ami returned the glare.

"The Castle magics will keep the young, future Crown Prince safe from the wrath of the Moon Princess." Guardian Mercury replied. "Despite the years that have passed, Tsukino Usagi still despises you; remember, her past self as Princess Serenity reacted very adversely to rejection and I suspect her present self is the same."

"You mentioned conditions." Ami stated.

"Yes." the small Sailor Power Guardian nodded. "The first condition is age maturity. The second, a consort and an heir."

"But Fumio is male." Ami pointed out. "Don't Sailor Senshi have to be female?"

"Sailor Senshi are female." Guardian Mercury confirmed. "Males are known Guardian Knights."

"Like Endymion?" Ami questioned.

"Quite similar." Guardian Mercury nodded.

"Wonderful." Ami muttered. "Now I have to figure out how to explain this to Rei."

"Furuya Rei?" Guardian Mercury echoed. "Does he look like this?" she conjured up a hologram of Rei in armor beside her.

"How did..." Ami gaped.

"I should've figured this would be the case." Guardian Mercury grinned widely. "Your Furuya Rei is, or rather was, your Soul Bound and betrothed in the Silver Millennium."

The grinning Sailor Power Guardian decided Ami's 'WHAT?' was worth dropping the bombshell.

"Is that the reason why I've always been avoiding him in the Police Academy?" Ami asked.

"Possibly." Guardian Mercury replied. "Even without all your past memories, your subconscious somehow recognized him."

"So, what's our next step?" Ami asked.

"Letting me jump-start Furuya Rei's memories." Guardian Mercury replied.

"And hope he keeps an open mind and doesn't freak out." Ami muttered.

"And that's the reason you're helping me, Your Holiness." Guardian Mercury grinned playfully.

"Why do I get a very bad feeling about this?" Ami wondered. "Just... don't flood his mind all at one go."

In Amuro's dreamscape...

"Should I be panicking?" the dark-skinned undercover agent mused, finding himself in smoky surroundings.

"I'd rather you not, Reiner." Guardian Mercury remarked, appearing at his feet.

"Ami?" Rei blinked.

"Not exactly." Guardian Mercury corrected. "Furuya Rei, just much did my Princess tell you about her past?" taking note of his bewildered expression, the Sailor Power Guardian sighed. "You might want to make yourself comfortable; this could take awhile."

Realizing the miniature Guardian's expression brokered no argument, Rei bit back a sigh and readied himself for the massive information dump.

What Guardian Mercury did later was something he had not expected; revealing the Mercury Crystal, Guardian Mercury simply removed his memory seal with a pulse of power.

"What did I say about not flooding his mind?" Ami asked the small Sailor Power Guardian, catching her unconscious partner before he could hit the ground, the memory overload having knocked him out.
