Ami's Arguement Black Beyond black_beyond@hotmail.com --------------- And the sequel appears. This was originally going to be Minako's Medley, but she was being pushy so I let Ami have her OOC say. This is really funny. My sis almost peed her pants, and I had fun writing it, so that's what counts, right? Once again, everything you feel like stuffing into my lonely inbox goes to black_beyond@hotmail.com! Com'on, peeps, it's really empty! But thanks to every who did e-mail me... I'm really backed up right now, though. I've got a chance to go to Japan and I'm pumping it for all it's worth. So be patient if your reply isn't immediant. That's all I ask, really... Special thanks to Jennifer P, Andrea Hui, Black Rose, and of course, all you authors out there who keep me entertained! ^^ --------------- If you want my candid opinion, this is completely and totally Motoki's fault. I always suspected there was something sadistic about his so called 'charming smile'. I mean, it was his fault for not fainting. It was his fault for being there. It was his fault for being both Minako's and Makoto's crush, so that they just *had* to transform to save him the 'indiginity' of being drained. That youma! Ooo... the Dark Kingdom is going to have one heck-o-lulu of an extended winter when I get my hands on them! Sending a youma right into the clutches of the two most boy-crazy, ditzy, no-brained, never- think-before-they-act senshi! That should be illegal! Really! And I thought they had a little dignity! And it was Motoki who figured it out, not me, the branis of the senshi, that Mamoru Chiba was Tuxedo Kamen! That screams negative vibes if anything does! Not that I'm perfect, but I'm a senshi, and well... He wears an apron! Who am I? Mizuno Ami, senshi of Mercury, and I hold the power of ice. And I'm one angry blue-haired senshi. Why, you ask, innocently? You don't read the paper much, do you? Well, you've heard about it by now. It's only on every single television station, radio show, newpaper, and magazine on the earth! You can't've missed it, unless you've been locked away in the Sahara Desert for the last two days. I'm a calm, nice, non-violent person. Usually. But you see, people change. I believe it's called an 'out of character moment'. I'm starting an 'out of character life'. It was a completely normal day. I'm happy, I've got lots of homework to look forward to, learning the fiftyth french word of the day, when none other than Umino passed me. I usually didn't pay attenion of Umino. But that slight fact he was waving around a printout from his infamous computer and screaming something *very* noticeible snagged my attention. "THE SENSHI HAVE BEEN REVEALED!" I hate all security cameras. They were invented by a minion of the Dark Kingdom. I, one day, shall find proof of this and ban them. Apparently, Makoto and Minako had transformed in front of one of the security cameras Umino happened to have bugged. Don't ask, I was afraid to. The internet is evil. Printers are evil. Umino is a discarded youma in disguise. I'm sorry, but it's true. It's the only possible explanation I could think of. I told Luna. Luna spazzed. Luna went to go rant at Usagi. I told Artemis. Artemis spazzed. He called Makoto and Minako to the temple. I really didn't mean to begin throwing textbooks at them. I'm sure Artemis's attacks and Rei's fireballs were accidents as well. Really. But that's not the interesting part. All of Tokyo knew within five minutes, courtesy of Umino and via Internet. It was up on the news stations within twenty-four hours, as soon as the experts claimed the tapes valid. Everyone went to work on the rest of us. Usagi was the next to be discovered. It wasn't a hard match. Odangos, people. Odangos. How many people in Tokyo have the same blonde odangos with long streamers of hair? Two: Sailor Moon, Tsukino Usagi. I was next. There are other people who have blue hair. But there's not many people who have short, bluish- green hair and an IQ that's off the charts. Rei was last. She was the hardest of all, because she looked typical. But of course, someone found out somehow.... no names.... *cough* Mina *cough*-ko *cough*. Darn it, when I get my not-so-gentle hands on Motoki, he will have seen his last sunrise. It's totally, and completely his fault. And did he ever know it... ~'~ ... As he flashed that ever-so charmingly innocent smile at Makoto and Minako, who sighed and swooned, respectively. Usagi was currently paying attention to the largest chocolate shake I've ever seen, moaning about how her life was over. Rei was yelling at whoever would listen or whoever she could force to listen. I was glaring at Motoki. "So, where's Mamoru-san?" Minako asked Motoki, in a sultry tone that I had to whince at. Shameless! "I think he'll be around any second now--" "EEP! Motoki-chan, I can't see him!" Usagi moaned, scramblign voer the counter and hiding behind it, somewhere near Motoki's knees. "WHy not, Usagi-chan? I thought you liked Mamo-- OW!" He grimaced as she punched/kicked/elbowed him. "She hates Mamoru-san and loves Tuxedo Kamen." Makoto informed him. "Finding out the two were the same was a little harsh for her." A small hand snatched the shake off the counter and back behind it, and sobs could be heard. "It's not *sob* fair, I *sob* can't take *sob* it. Satan is *sob sob* TUXEDO KAMEN!" She broke into tears. I continued to glare at Motoki. "Someone had better get Rei before she does the fireball thing again." Makoto looked fearfully over at Rei, who was terrizing a teenage boy who was looking like he wanted help badly. "I'm not getting burned again!" Minako shrieked. "She can throw fireballs?" Motoki asked. "Man, that's so cool! Rei-chan! Rei-chan!" "No!" Makoto and Minako both screeched. Too late. "What is it, Motoki-san?" Rei turned around, and boy escaped. "Can you really throw fireballs?" Rei brightened at the chance to show off, and she pulled Motoki off to the side to show him how she could make fire of any color. I glared at him. "Mamoru-kun!" Motoki chirped happily, as the college student dragged himself through the glass doors. "Hey, Motoki. Say, did yuo hear about Odango Atama? Some wacko thinks she's Sailor Moon." "She is Sailor Moon!" Makoto said indignitily. "Didn't you read the newspapers?! "Yeah. And you're Sailor Jupiter." Mamoru shot back dryly. "I totally resent that!" Makoto had her henshin pen out before I could say a word. "NO MAKOTO!" Too late. Again. "Jupiter Power, Make up!" "Ah, what the heck! Venus Power, Make up!" "Not without me you don't! Moon Prism Power Make up!" Of course, Rei couldn't resist. "Mars Power Make up!" Now having surprised Mamoru thoroughly, they turned to me. "Do it, Ami." "No way." "Yes way." Jupiter looked ready tyo electrocute me, so I... "Mercury Power Make up!" I held up my wand and let the ribbons of icey water hit me. I hate being manipulated.... "SHABON SPRAY!" I'm not usually an inpulsive senshi. I think things otu well. But at the moment, I wanted to get far away. Best thing to do? Throw fog and escpae. And that's exactly what i did. I never though about the fact I taught Sailor Moon how to see through it... ~'~ ... because I was busy outrunning the huge mob screaming for autographs and pieces of my fuku. As if. I was about to give up and face the giant crowd of fans when all of a suddenly I ran into something. Something big. Something green. Something stinky. Something... urgh... gooey. The mob turned tail and ran. Not that I could blame them. This was the worst youma I've ever seen. It was a big glob that smelled like a dead rat that'd been out in the sun a few days. "Ami-chan... EEP!" "Sailor Moon, come on!" I yelled at the other senshi who had miraclously followed me. "No problem! Supreme Thunder!" You know, one day, sometimes, Jupiter's going to get in real trouble because of her impulsiveness. "NOOOO! DON'T!" I yelled, a full point two seconds before the lightning hit the glob of guck. It exploded, showering everyone with globs of the stuff. "ARGH! JUPITER!" Sailor Moon screamed, trying to pull it from her hair. "This is SO not funny!" Zoisite appeared in the air above us. I saw the look on his face, and it took my mind less than a secnod to figure out his plan. "No! Run!" I yelled. Too late. DAMNIT! TOO FREAKING LATE! "Glodous! Capture!" Zoisite yelled. The globs that were on us grew and grew until everything but our heads were trapped. Like jello molds! I had been reduced to a jello mold! INJUSTICE! "Now we just have to wait for your precious Tuxedo Kamen to hop along and we can have ourselves a party." Zoisite smirked and laughed that hideous laugh of his. Predictably, Tuxedo Kamen showed up in the nick of time-- or what would have been if WE WEREN'T TRAPPED INSIDE THE SLIME MONSTER FROM THE DARK KINGDOM! Stress is an evil thing. "The senshi of Tokyo cannot be exploited in this way--" "CAN IT, MAMORU!" Mars yelled at him. "GET US OUT OF HERE!" Tuxedo Kamen seemed miffed at being cut off in the middle of one of his corny speeches, but threw a rose at the ooze holding Sailor Mars. The rose simply made a splat sound and the ooze enveloped it happily. There was no way Tux-boy was getting us out of *this* mess. Unless... "Tuxedo Kamen, hand over your nijizuishous and I'll release them." Zoisite was much too smug. He'd be the first to go when I got out of the ooze. Tuxedo Kamen looked from us, the helpless five senshi, to the arrogant general, and then back to us. Jupiter has a serious ego problem. "Don't do it!" Jupiter yelled. "We'll be fine! Save your crystals!" Of course, Mamoru was a sucker for a damsel in distess. He forked up the two nuizuisou and handed them to Zoisite, inbetween death glares at the general. "Arigato, Tuxedo Kamen-baka! Glodous! Finish them off!" Kunzite appeared behind Zoisite, five nijizuishou in hand. It happened too fast, really. The next thing I knew, Zoisite had thrown the two nijizuishou at Kunzite and then Tuxedo Kamen lay on the ground right in front of Sailor Moon, blood pooling underneath him. Not a funny thing, but Zoisite found it hilarous. Too much for my frazzled mind. "SHABON SPRAY!" I shouted, forgetting for the instant that my hands were trapped. I ended up freezing the glob around me, and nearly freezing myself in the process. But somehow, I, the weakest senshi, managed to get free. The icey glob cracked easily when frozen and I was free. I quickly freed Sailor Moon, who was white faced and pale at the sight of Tuxedo kamen, mask- less, scarlet soaking into the pavement and running... She cried. And it wasn't ordinary tears. As one of them streaked down her cheek, it began to grow brightly. I opened my visor, ignoring the other senshi. I was getting this down, come hell or high water. I looked up at Kunzite's frustrated yell. The nijizuishous were floating away from him. Why on earth were they doing that? They were heading for... Usagi didn't seem to notice as the seven colorful crystals circled around her and then mized with her tears, letting off a brilliant flash of light. I watched as Zoisite's jaw dropped. Kuznite's soon followed. Not really wanting to, I looked at my princess again. My own jaw dropped. You see, at that moment, it became quite clear that our ditzy leader had a lot more going for her than any of us gave her credit for, because at that moment, our ditzy leader was in a royal-looking gown, the ginzuiishou in her hands, a moon insignia on her forehead, and an expression full of fury and serenity that only she could wear and still look beautiful. The ginzuishou lowered itself onto the moon wand in a flash of light. And she opened her eyes. She was the moon princess. That awe-inspiring moment was broekn by a loud yell. "ODANGO ATAMA! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Mars screeched. "She's the friggin' moon princess!" "Thank you, Mars, for stating the obvious." Venus said. "I knew it. I knew it I knew it I knew it!" She squirmed until she was free of her confines. The princess didn't seem to hear any of this as she raised her ginzuishou in the air. Almost instantly, the blood that was flowing from Tuxedo Kamen ceased, as he groaned as we began to wake up. I looked down at my computer. "WHAT?!" I yelled, totally ruining that moment as well. "NO! The ginzuishou's messing it up! NO! I didn't get any of that! Kami, why?! WHY?!" I ranted. Venus danced over and put both of her hands over my mouth, effectiviely silencing me as Serenity looked at Zoisite, her next target. "Uh-oh..." "Cosmic Moon Power!" Uh-oh was a tad of an understatement. Okay, it was probably tghe world's biggest udnerstatment. It was like saying the Universe is big. It was like saying Mount Everest is tall. It was like saying Jupiter has agressive tendicies. It was like... You get the idea. The energy slammed into Zoisite at a rate I would be able to tell you if the guinzuishou wasn't royally screwing with my computer. He was dead, there was no question about that, Kunzite caught his dead lover, sent Serenity a look I never want to be directed at myself, and teleported away cursing so badly it would have tramitized a child had a child heard it. Mars gasped as Tuxedo Kamen disappeared in a vortex of dark power just after Serenity collapsed, turning back into Sailor Moon. "That's it, Luna is going to have a cow!" Mars yelled... ~~"~~ Yet another understatment. In comparitive terms, our precious Luna had an elephant. As soon as I proved it, she promptly fainted. Artemis's example did not fall far from this. It was still Motoki's fault. As soon as I get done scanning the ginzuishou, I'm going to get him, you just wait and watch me... But that's for another day. Now, Minako, if you'll kindly stop waving your arms about and pointing to the sign that says 'my turn', I'd like to have a nice cup of tea and plot Motoki's demise... He'll have one chilly day sometime in the near future, believe you me... If I cackled evilly right now, do you think Minako would be alarmed? ~~'~~ Er, the next one will be entitled Minako's Medley, I believe, unless I'm feeling evil and decide Minako shall speak last... hehe...
