7:15PM 21/01/98 Video Night at Mako-chan's By Amy Bridger (ami@full-moon.com) Story Copyright by Amy Bridger 1997, Characters Copyright by Toei. Want to write something fun and fast paced. Also something which looks at the senshi vs. normal identity kinda thing. I can't be bothered keeping the seasons straight so expect to see attacks and transformations from all seasons. Warning: There's nudity, words like "etchi", Japanese phrases scattered throughout, and very little of Rei. I've often not put who says what when the girls are discussing something. This is either because it doesn't really matter who says what or because I think it's pretty easy to tell who says what or both. "Romeo, Romeo, where for art thou Romeo?" Juliet's voice came from the tv set in Makoto's apartment. 5 girls sighed in unsion. 1 girl said "Taikutsu! Boring!" "You wanted to come Chibi-Usa so you put up with the movie!" Usagi yelled. Chibi-Usa poked her tounge out. Usagi stood and started to move towards her. "Cool it you two," said Makoto. "Yeah, we want to be able to hear the movie!" Rei said. As if on cue, the VCR make a burbling noise. The picture on screen distorted and became snowy. The picture flipped over and over. The sound continued undisturbed. 5 girls looked dismayed. 1 girl shouted "Banzai!" Makoto got up and banged the VCR a few times, suceeding only in making the picture worse. "Great now what are we going to do?" "We could study for the english test on Monday," suggested Ami. The other girls groaned. "We could watch a film in english. I get the English Channel," countered Makoto. "But I don't speak english well!" wailed Usagi. "There's subtitles in english and japanese," said Makoto. Makoto flicked over to the English Channel. A group of 5 costumed superheros were fighting a giant gold monkey. [1] "I thought JuRanger was a Japanese show?" asked Minako. "This is the bad english dub of it. It's so funny!" Makoto explained, "After this there's a beginner english show on. It'll be very educational Ami-chan. Plus the guy in it looks just like my old boyfriend!" Sweatdrops appeared on everyone's heads. They settled back and watched the last 15 minutes of the show. Even Chibi-Usa wasn't bored as the show was made for people about her age. When the show finished the girls started talking about it instead of watching the commercials. "That was so pathetic, it was funny!" "I don't believe they turned Boi [2] into a girl!" "Goshi was much cuter!" "Jason looked just like my old boyfriend!" "The floating head in a glass was just plain weird!" "I couldn't keep up with the subtitles." "Shhh the next show's starting." Pretty music and comtemperay images accompained the opening to English Have A Go. 2 annouceners announced what was coming up in the show and introduced themselves in very slow english. "Hello, I'm Joyce," said the female. "And I'm Brian," said the male. "Welcome to English Have A Go. We hope you can improve your english." "And have fun too." "Today the Jones' family buys Andy a birthday present." "We'll learn some grammar." "Professor Sayit will help you with your pronoucination." Ami and Minako laughed at the professor's name, getting them some weird looks. "And meet some Australian families." "But first the Jones' family." "This is the guy that's really cute," Makoto said pointing as Andy Jones appeared. "Hi, I'm Andy Jones. I'm a university student." As he introduced his family they appeared onscreen doing their jobs. The next shot showed his mother sitting on the sofa and Andy playing on a computer. "Andy, what do you want for your brithday?" the mother asked, in very slow english, "A computer game? A new CD?" "I want a motorbike," Andy pulled funny faces while he talked slowly, over exaggerating his expressions. The show continued talking about Andy's birthday and ended with him getting a motorbike. The girls talked over top of the questions that the presentors were asking about the skit except Ami who attempted to answer. "He is so cute!" exclaimed Minako, "Specially when he makes those faces!" "But whats with the weird accents? I could barely understand them!" complaned Usagi. "It's an Australian show," said Makoto, "After a couple of shows you get used to the accents." The doorbell rang. Makoto got to answer it. It was the pizza they had ordered an hour ago. "What took you so long?" she asked. "Iie nihongo, iie," the delivery boy said looking confused. He noticed the tv show and grinned. "You speak english?" he asked slowly. "Minako, come here and translate!" Makoto called. Minako reluctantly left Andy Jones to talk to the pizza boy. "Hello. I'm Minako." she said easily in english. Love hearts appeared in her eyes when she saw how cute he was. "I'm Douggy. Sorry the pizza is late but it's hard to find the right house when the numbers are all over the place!" "Thats ok. Do you want to stay and have some with us?" "I can't. I've got other pizzas to deliver." "Too bad," Minako said. Makoto paid for the pizzas and brought them over. She had made sure to only order one pizza that Usagi and Chibi-Usa liked so the rest of them would get some too. Ami was still watching the tv show and carefully saying each word after a strange looking man said them. Usagi and Chibi-Usa were laughing at the man's strange expressions. Rei was no where to be seen. Usagi and Chibi-Usa jumped on their pizza and began fighting over who got the largest slice. Ami absently picked up a piece and ate it while still watching the tv. Minako and Makoto discussed the cute Andy Jones and Douggy. Usagi paused with a piece of pizza half way to her mouth. "Hey! I think I know how to fix the video recorder!" she exclaimed. "You?" Chibi-Usa started laughing. Usagi shook her fist at the girl then yelled, "Moon Crisis Make Up!" While she was transforming the phone rang. Makoto sighed and got up to answer it. "Usagi, if you're finished "changing", your mom is on the phone!" Makoto yelled. Sailor Moon walked over and took the phone. "Moshi moshi mama" she said. Rei walked out of the bathroom to see Sailor Moon talking on the phone, Ami sitting 2 inches away from the tv screen, Chibi-Usa gorging herself on pizza and Minako and Makoto with big love hearts in their eyes. She sighed, it was going to be a long, typical evening. She walked over to Mako-chan and whispered something in her ear. Makoto nodded a few times in response. Rei walked over to the kitchen to get some asprin, nearly being deafened by Sailor Moon while she was in there. "Ok mama, bai bai!" Sailor Moon said and hung up the phone, "Mom had to ring up and remind me of the english test on Monday. And she said that you have to be in bed by 8 Chibi-Usa." "Eiiiiight?" Chibi-Usa whined, "But I bet you're going to be up 'till midnite!" "Yeah. But you're not as old as us," Sailor Moon stuck out her tounge. Chibi-Usa did likewise. "Would you two shuttup!" Rei snapped. "Whats up with you?" asked Sailor Moon. "Nothing," Rei answered shortly and drunk her asprin, "Hey Makoto is it ok if I go and lie down on your bed for a while?" [4] "Sure," agreed Makoto. Sailor Moon walked back over to the gathering in front of the tv. She sat down on the sofa and saw that there was none of her pizza left. "CHIBI-USA!" she screamed. She looked at the girl to see her stuff the last crust into her mouth. Chibi-Usa smiled. "How where you gonna fix the VCR?" Makoto asked quickly to avoid the fight. "Oh yeah," said Sailor Moon. She stood and yelled, "Moon Healing Escalation!" at the VCR, ignoring the looks she was getting. [3] "Try it now," she told Makoto as her sailor fuku faded away. Makoto pressed play and Juliet's face appeared. The picture was perfect. Usagi smiled triumphantly. Her moment of victory was spoiled by her stomach grumbling loudly. Everyone laughed. Makoto offered to make some popcorn for everyone to eat while they watched the end of the movie. "Arigatou Mako-chan!" Usagi cried. Usagi and Chibi-Usa sat on the couch. Ami sat to the left of the sofa on the floor, Minako leant against it in the middle, between Usagi and Chibi-Usa's legs, and Makoto sat on the right. Usagi and Chibi-Usa shared a bowl of buttery popcorn while watching the movie. The other girls had theirs plain. "Less calories and fat," Minako explaied. "Yeah, gotta stay skinny to get a boyfriend!" Makoto said. "I've already got my Mamo-chan," Usagi said smiling. "Pass the popcorn Usagi, you're hogging it," demanded Chibi-Usa. "Am not!" "Are too!" Chibi-Usa made a grab for the popcorn but her hands were slipperly because of the butter on them. The bowl slipped out of her grasp and overturned, all over Minako's head! "Arggghhh!" "Gomen nasai Minako-chan!" Chibi-Usa apoligised. "Waaaahhhh, there goes all my popcorn. I'm gonna die of starvation!" Usagi wailed. Chibi-Usa helped Minako pick the popcorn out of her hair. Minako sniffed her hair dubiosly. It smelt like butter. "Mako-chan, is it ok if I wash my hair?" she asked. "Sure, there's some towels in the cupboard." "Arigatou." Minako departed for the bathroom. Minako towel dried her hair after washing it throughly to get rid of the butter. It was going to take ages to dry. She remebered a similar incident, a few years ago, in a salon. If worked for Usagi... Minako raised her hand and said, "Venus Crystal Power Make Up!" A orange haze surounded her. When it cleared she was Sailor Venus. She looked in the mirror, her hair looked great. She felt it, it was completely dry. Smiling, she detransformed. Minako walked back out into the lounge. She made sure she sat on the floor far away from clutzy girls with popcorn. When the movie ended, 4 girls were crying and 1 again shouted "Banzai!" "Can we watch something decent now?" "That was so sad!" "They both died!" "All they wanted was each other." "Wasn't Romeo handsome?" "It was certaintly an interesting adaption of the orginal play by William Shakespeare. Keeping all the original dialouge combined with modern imagery sure resulted in a unique movie." "AMI-CHAN!" "What are we going to do now?" asked Minako. "I've got some more videos, mostly action. I think there's an anime fest on all night." said Makoto. Chibi-Usa yawned. Usagi noticed the time was 8:15. "It's bedtime for you Chibi-Usa!" she announced. "Can't I stay up just a little longer?" "It's already 15 minutes past 8!" "Where am I sleeping? I don't want to sleep on the floor!" "Rei's asleep on the bed," said Minako. "How about I make a bed for you on the sofa Chibi-Usa?" asked Makoto, then added with a wink, "Then you can stay where all the action is and technically be in bed.' "Arigatou Mako-chan!" "Maybe we should get ready for bed too," suggested Usagi. "Yeah, it's getting chilly," agreed Minako, thinking of snuggling up in her warm sleeping bag. Minako, Ami, Usagi and Chibi-Usa went for their bags. "I forgot my pjs!" wailed Usagi as she searched through her bag, spreading clothes all over the room. "You could borrow a pair of mine, but I think they might be a bit too big for you," offered Makoto. "Thanks but I got a better idea," Usagi held aloft the Luna Pen (?). "Moon Power, make me ready for bed," she yelled. A pair of pyjamas apeared on her and her hair became unfastened, flowing down her back until it nearly reached the floor. "If Luna was here she'd kill you," said Ami, "You know she says you should only use that for Sailor business." "Well lucky for me she isn't!" Makoto disapeared into her bedroom to change. Minako pulled out of her bag a pretty nighty, which was covered in red love hearts, and proceeded to change into it. Ami blushed as Minako pulled off her top. Ami quickly busied herself looking for her sleepware in her bag. She found her nighty and pulled it on over her head, turning her back to the others. Then took her shirt and bra off under the cover of her nighty and finished by removing her skirt. Chibi-Usa struggled to remove her top. Usagi noticed. "Need some help?" she asked. "No," Chibi-Usa said. Usagi grabbed the bottom of her top anyway and lifted it off her. "I said I didn't need any help!" "It would have taken you all night otherwise." Makoto walked out of her bedroom wearing green and white checkered pyjamas. She carried a pillow, sheets and a blanket for Chibi-Usa's bed. She quickly made up the bed. Chibi-Usa hopped in. "Oyasumi nasai minna," she said, rolled over and fell asleep. "At last, we're free of her!" grinned Usagi. She, Ami and Minako spread out their sleeping bags on the floor. The girls unzipped their sleeping bags and wrapped them around themselves so they could be warm and stay sitting up. Makoto went and got herself a pillow and some blankets. "So are we going to watch the anime fest?" asked Makoto. Getting no response she added, "They're screening the first 2 Sailor V movies back to back right now!" "Lets watch it!" said Minako and Usagi. Ami shrugged. "Ok Sailor V it is," Makoto switched channels until she found it. The movies were short, the first went for 1 hour and the second for 1 and a half. The first story had Sailor V on the trail of international jewel thieves who had stolen the world's largest diamond from a museum in London. The second movie was about a group of terrorists who threatened to blow up all of Tokyo if their demands of 1 trillion yen were not met. Minako and Usagi paid rapt attention to the movies, often yelling and cheering Sailor V on. They were so loud it was amazing that they didn't wake Chibi-Usa. Makoto watched but without the intense focuse that the two blonde girls had. Ami paid little attention to the movie. Her attention was focused on the book in her lap. "Wow! I love Sailor V!" "They did the voice all wrong! I do not sound like that!" "The first movie was best, more action in it." "But the second contained a better storyline with more twists and turns." The next anime movie was Patlabor, which no one really wanted to watch. "Lets play Truth or Dare!" Minako suggested. "Ok," everyone agreed. Minako looked around for a victim to ask. She spotted Ami with her nose buried in a book. "Ami-chan! Truth or dare?" "Truth," Ami looked up from her book and responded. "Who's the cutest boy at school?" Minako knew exactly the right question to ask to make Ami blush. "Can I take dare instead?" "No, but I'll let ya. I dare you to not look at a book all night!" "Ok," Ami said sighing and put her book away. "Now you have to ask someone," Minako prompted. "Hmmm, Mako-chan, truth or dare?" "Ummm... Dare!" "I dare you to... ummmm..errr.." Ami stammered for a few minutes. Minako took pity on her, and whispered something in her ear. "I dare you to wear your hair in a new style for the evening." "Any particular style?" "Odangos!" Minako said. "But thats my hairdo!" cried Usagi. "It's only for the night Usagi," Minako said, "And it was a dare so she has to do it." "I'll fetch my brush and a mirror," Makoto said. Makoto pulled her hair tie out and brushed her hair out. Everyone was surprised by how long it, it reached all the way down to her hips. She seperated her hair into two and tried to wrap one lot into an odango. It didn't work. After a few more unsuccessful tries she turned to Usagi and asked, "How do you do it? It's impossible!" "I'll show you," Usagi took the brush and a hair tie and within 30 seconds had one odango done. "Now you do the other one." Makoto tried again and eventually got something that faintly resembled an odango. "Good enough?" she asked Ami. "Yes," she replied. "Usagi-chan, truth or dare?" asked Makoto. "Truth," answered Usagi. "Will you miss Chibi-Usa when she returns home?" "Miss that brat? Not a chance!" Usagi yelled at once, then paused, "Maybe just a little. She's alright sometimes, like now when she's asleep." Usagi pulled Chibi-Usa's blanket up and over her. Usagi looked at her sleeping daughter for a few seconds before turning back to the game. "Minako-chan, truth or dare?" "Dare" "I dare you to act out a scene from one of the Sailor V movies we just saw!" "Do I get to pick the scene or do you?" "You can." "Ok I pick the scene where she get to kiss the handsome guy." "Uhh.. we seem to have a shortage of handsome guys, Minako-chan," pointed out Ami. "Well unless one of you guys want to fill in, I guess I'll have to choose another scene then." After thinking for a moment Minako said, "I want to do the scene where Sailor V catches the jewel theives. Who wants to be the jewel theieves?" "I get to watch because I dared you," said Usagi quickly. "Ok then, Ami-chan and Mako-chan you start running when I say go and I'll catch you, ok?" asked Minako. They both nodded. "V Power (?)" Minako yelled and became Sailor V in a orange (?) flash. "You didn't want me to do in the wrong outfit, did you?" she asked grinning. "Go!" Sailor V yelled. Ami and Makoto started running away from her. In the movie Sailor V had used an attack on the jewel theives which stunned them. Sailor V improvised and picked up a couple of pillows. She threw them at Ami and Makoto, causing them to fall to the ground. Makoto grabbed one of the pillows and threw it back. "Pillow Fight!" yelled Usagi and joined in by throwng her pillow at Makoto, who saw it coming and ducked. Ami hid behind the couch until Minako came looking for her and started hitting her with a pillow. "Truce!" yelled Ami quickly. Minako stopped long enough for Ami to crawl back around and grab a pillow. Minako popped up from behind the couch to see what was going on and was hit in the face with a pillow. She threw two back at the direction it came from and quickly ducked back down. She crawled back around to the front of the couch. Usagi prepared to launch a pillow but just as she was about to throw it, she was hit! Her aim was way off and the pillow landed on top of Chibi-Usa. The girls paused, but Chibi-Usa kept on sleeping peacefully. "She's certaintly inherited Usagi's sound sleeping habits," said Ami, who got hit in the face with a pillow for her comment. The pillow fight continued until everyone was too exhausted to stand. Usagi yawned loudly. "How about we go to sleep now?" she suggested. "You can Usagi," said Minako, "We all know you need your sleep." "Arigatou Minako-chan," Usagi zipped up her sleeping bag and crawled into it, "Oyasumi nasai minna." But the time she finished saying goodnite she was asleep. "I think I'll go to bed too," said Ami, "Since I'm not allowed to read anything," she looked pointedly at Minako. "I didn't say you couldn't read anything! Just not books," Minako corrected, "If you're that desperate to read something, I'm sure that Mako-chan has some manga or magazines." "Thanks but early to bed, early to rise, and the sooner I rise the sooner I can read again!" explained Ami as she got into her sleeping bag. "Goodnight Mako-chan, goodnite Minako-chan," she said sleepily. "Now we can get down to the important discussions," Minako said. "Hmmm?" "Like who's cuter, Douggy or Andy!" "Douggy's hair was just like my old boyfriend's, but much nicer. And it's blonde." "Andy had a much better hair cut." Minako and Makoto talked about the two boys for ages, though never coming to a firm decision on who was cuter. Minako preferred Andy while Makoto went for Douggy. Makoto looked over at Minako after she hadn't said anyhting about Andy for 30 seconds. She was fast asleep, still in her Sailor V fuku. "Mmmmmm Andy how'd you get here?" she murmered. Makoto still wasn't tired so she got up and switched the lights off so the others could sleep peacefully. She sat down in front of the tv, turned the sound down low, and searched for something good to watch. Usagi was dreaming about Romeo and Juliet. She was at a party, wearing a Juliet's cute little winged outfit. Couples danced around her. She looked through them, searching for someone. She spotted him, her Romeo, on the far side of the hall. Mamoru wearing the armor Romeo had worn in the movie. They danced together. "Mamo-chan," she said happily as they danced. Minako dreamt about Andy Jones. He appeared in the middle of the room. "Hello Minako," he said when he saw her. "How do you know my name, Adam?" she asked, she had no idea why she called him Adam but it seemed to fit him. "I've seen you, in my dreams," he replied. "How did you get here, Andy?" "My secret," he smiled at her, "Give me your hand, Minako." She held his hand and the scene shifted to a tropical island. "It's so beautiful." "Like you," Andy said and kissed her. "Sport... etchi... sport... ads... home shopping... tentacles... sport... news... commercials... Isn't there anything decent on?" Makoto complained. An exhaustive search of the tv channels had failed to turn up anything good. 'Maybe I should go to bed too,' she thought as she looked back at her sleeping friends. Ami was tossing and turning. Usagi and Minako were making kissy noises as they slept. 'Perhaps I'll dream of Douggy," Makoto thought. "Noo! Noo! Stop it! ARGGGHHH!" Ami was yelling and screaming. Makoto quickly went to her side and shook her to wake her up. "Wake up, Ami-chan. It's ok. C'mon, wake up," said Makoto. "Nan... nani yo?," Ami said as she awoke. "It's ok Ami-chan, it's me, Mako-chan. You're were having a nightmare." "Nani? Mako-chan, what are doing here?" "It's my apartment. Remember, it's the slumber party at my house?" "Right, the sleepover," Ami sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes and looking around the room. She was surprised that her eyes were wet with tears. "Hey, you wanna talk about it?" "It was horrible. I was dreaming about the last fight against Galaxia and about... dying," Ami shuddered. "It's ok, it's all over now." "But is it really? How do we know that some new menace won't come and we'll have to fight again?" "We don't. But if one does, we'll win." "That's not it Mako-chan. I don't want to fight," Ami began to sob, "I don't like killing and fighting and violence. I want to be a doctor, to heal people." "You will be Ami. You're smart enough to do anything," encouraged Makoto. She hugged her friend tight, letting her cry. After a while Ami's crying ceased and Makoto resalised she was asleep. 'What is it with people falling asleep on me tonite?' Makoto wondered. "Poor Ami. It hasn't been easy on you, has it?" she murmered as she lay her friend down. When she tried to pull away, Ami made small, unhappy noises and tightened her grip. Sighing, for the thoundsandth time that evening, she reached for a blanket with her free hand and covered herself and Ami. The sight which greeted Rei in the morning was enough to send her back to bed, or convince her she was hallucinating. Sailor V lay drooling in her sleeping bag. Ami and Makoto were sleeping in each other's arms. Makoto had one odango on one side of her head and a lump of hair on the other side. Chibi-Usa was half on, half off the couch and would any minute now fall onto Usagi who was sleeping next to the couch. Usagi was scrunching up her face and making kissy sounds. She was also wearing Rei's favourite pjyamas. "This is too weird, I'm going back to bed," Rei said and walked back toward the bedroom. Before she could reach the door Usagi screamed very loudly. Chibi-Usa had fallen on top of her. Rei sighed and headed back into the lounge, she wasn't going to get any sleep now that motormouth was awake. "AIEEEEEEEEE! Nani yo? Chibi-Usa! What are you doing? I was having the best dream about Mamo-chan. He was giving me lots and lots of expensive chocolates," Usagi eyelids half closed and she nearly fell back asleep. "You should get up now anyway lazy bones!" Rei joined in, "And what are you doing wearing my best pair of pjyamas?" "Huh? You have a pair like this too, Rei-chan?" Usagi was still half sleep. "Like it? They're EXACTLY the same!" Rei fumed. "I forgot my pjs and..." Usagi's brain began to wake up. She grinned at Rei, and faded back to the clothes she had been wearing last night. She poked out her tounge. Ami slowly woke up, disturbed by the loud yelling and screaming. She could feel someone's arms around her. She quickly opened her eyes and saw 2 inches from her Makoto's face. Ami blushed and quickly pulled away. Makoto yawned and sleepily opened her eyes. "Ohayo Ami-chan." "Go... gomen nasai Mako-chan." "What for?" "Last night." "Never apoligise for needing your friends Ami-chan," Makoto smiled, "We're always here for you." "A... arigatou Mako-chan." "Whats for breakfast? I'm starving!" asked Usagi. "You're always hungry Usagi!" shot back Rei. "But Chibi-Usa ate all the pizza last nite and spilt all our popcorn over Minako!" explained Usagi. "It was an accident!" protested Chibi-Usa. "If I die from starvation, you'll never be born Chibi-Usa!" threatened Usagi. "Pu wouldn't let that happen." Chibi-Usa correctly pointed out. "Breakfast is coming right up, after I get dressed," said Makoto as soon as she could get a word in. She went into her bedroom. Ami grabbed her bag and headed into the bathroom. Rei straightened her crumpled clothes. Chibi-Usa struggled out of her long nighty and into her clothes. Usagi was already dressed so she brushed her hair and fashioned her odango. Makoto came out of her bedroom dressed in brown slacks and a green t-shirt. Her hair was back to it's normal style. "How about an American breakfast of toast, bacon and eggs?" asked Makoto. "Yummy yummy!" yelled Usagi. "Mmmm sounds good Mako-chan," said Rei. Ami walked back into the lounge fully dressed. "Is anyone going to wake Minako up?" she asked. "Let her sleep, I think she's having some good dreams," Makoto said with a wink, from the kitchen where she was beginning breakfast. As if on cue, Minako began to talk in her sleep again. "Adam, who's Lisa?... what do you mean she's a girl you liked?... oh you haven't seen her in years... oh Adam I love you too!" Minako began to scrunch up her face as if she was kissing someone. "Is that what I look like when I'm asleep?" asked Usagi. "Yes!" all the girls said. Usagi blushed. "Ohhh Adam, you smell so good... mmmm bacon and eggs..." Minako's eyes opened, "Bacon and eggs? It's breakfast time already?" "Will someone butter the toast please? And set the table?" asked Makoto. "I'll do the toast," said Ami. "I'll set the table," voluntered Usagi. "You're so clumsy you'll break the dishes! I'll do it," Rei said, grabbing some plates. "Rei you're so mean!" wailed Usagi. Makoto dished up the bacon and eggs onto one big plate and put it on the table. Ami carried the toast over. "Minako, if you want anything to eat, I suggest you get here pronto!" advised Makoto as Usagi and Chibi-Usa dived into the food. Minako struggled up. She saw that she was still in her Sailor V fuku and blushed, hurriedly changing back to normal and making it to the table in time to grab the last piece of toast. "What did you guys get up to last night?" asked Rei. Ami blushed immediatly and ducked her head so Rei couldn't see. Usagi's stomach growled. Minako smiled and sighed. Chibi-Usa scowled. Makoto rolled her eyes. "Ookay, now how about this time telling me in words?" "Nothing," said Ami. "Chibi-Usa made me starve," said Usagi. '"I dreamt of Andy, except I kept calling him Adam for some reason, but he was so cute!" said Minako. "Usagi made me go to bed early!" said Chibi-Usa. "Everyone else fell asleep on me," said Makoto, then looked at Ami and added, "Literallly in some cases." Ami blushed again and said, "Gomen." "And I thought I told you not to apolgise?" Makoto said smiling. "Gomen Mako-chan, I won't do it again." "Ami-chan!" Everyone collasped into giggles, including Ami. --- Footnotes [1] - I'm refering to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, of which the first season used the fighting footage from the Japanese show Kouru Sentai ZyuRanger.
