Hello all!

One day, I had this really stupid idea about Sailor Moon and Ami in 
particular. So, I sat down and wrote out this little bit of a story. 
Unfortunately, I had to stop and lost my head of steam. This little bit 
is just the beginning of a story to give Ryouga a third female interest 
to complicate his life. "Akane-san! Akari-san! Ami-chan!"

The purpose of this post is this. I would like to know what your 
favorite Sailor Mercury magical phrase is. Give me your suggestions and 
thoughts. (I always expect a giant powder puff to attack Sailor Moon 
when she shouts "Make Up!") ^_-

============================================

Ami looked at the instructions in her hands and then at the street 
sign. This was turning into one of 'those' days. Just a normal visit to 
her cousin shouldn't be this exasperating. The directions were simple 
and yet she was lost. Mizuno Ami, lost like a little kid. It's a good 
thing the other senshi aren't here to see this. With a sigh she looked 
around for a friendly face that could giver her directions to the 
street where her cousin lived.

She noticed a boy walking down the street with a map in his hand. He 
had a confident walk and wasn't looking at the map. Obviously, he knew 
where he was going. Without a second thought she ran up to him.

"Excuse me. Could you help me?"

The boy stopped and looked at her in surprise. It was then that she 
noticed how tall he was and how broad his chest was.

"How can I help you?"

"Uhm, well, you see, I'm kinda lost and I was wondering if you could 
help me find my cousin's house. I see that you have a map and I was 
wondering if I could borrow it for a little while."

For some reason her face felt warm as he looked down at her. Dark hair, 
he had dark and beautiful brown eyes. Beautiful? Where did that come 
from? Ami turned to look at the map in his hand and noticed how 
muscular his arms were.

"Uh, shuh sure. I know where I am now. Heh."

Ami smiled at him as he rubbed the back of his head with the map. It 
was cute that he was acting embarrassed. Was it because of her? A cute 
guy like him getting all flustered because of her, made her heart race 
a little faster than its current double time march.

"Uhm, the map, please?"

"Oh! Heh, heh. Sorry about that."

After a quick look at the well worn map she looked back up at him.

"This is a map of Hokkaido!"

"Yes, it is. Uhm, we arent' in Hokkaido?"

"No!"

"Ami!"

Ami turned around at the sound of the voice, it was her cousin. With a 
shout of joy she ran and hugged her.

"Ukyou! I'm sorry I'm late, but I got turned around. This nice boy here 
was trying to help me.

Ukyou raised an eyebrow. "Lost? And you were asking directions from 
him?"

"Hey, why are you pointing at him like that?"

With a laugh Ukyou walked over to Ryouga and took him by the hand. 
"Come on, sugar. I'll make you an okonomiyaki for helping out my 
cousin."

"Heh, heh. Thuh, thanks, Ukyou." Ryouga rubbed the back of his head 
with his free hand.

Ami walked beside her and leaned close to whisper. "Is he always like 
this?"

"Nah," she whispered back, "only when he's around pretty girls."

Ami looked down as she felt her cheeks flush.

"Don't worry, Ami. He's a nice guy that gets lost most of the time. 
It's a good thing that I spotted the two of you standing down the 
street when I stepped outside for a moment."

The threesome entered Ucchan's and headed toward the grill.

"Ukyou-sama!"
