Ami probably wouldn't meet a new girl with "You want to be friends"?
She's shy, remember?

     Well, Ami is friends with Usagi at this point.  This could have brought 
out a more outgoing attitude in her.  Also, Ami hasn't really shown that 
she's scared of making friends.  She just has a little trouble getting to 
the intro part.

If she's Akane's twin, then presumably she's
defined her identity as the Anti-Akane and vice versa.  Where Akane is
physical and extroverted, Ami is intellectual and introverted.  Of
course deep down they'd probably have some fundamental similarities,
such as both being prudes and Akane would be smarter than she let on,
while Ami would have a well-concealed temper.

     You can't give Ami-chan a temper.  It's just wrong.

Of course it's hard to imagine Ami and Akane being twins without Akane
having some Silver Millenium identity.  One interesting thing is that
Ami is now 16, the whole run of Sailor Moon would already be behind her,
and Usagi and the other Inner Senshi would likely be attending Furinkan.

     Actually, it kinds of sounds like she just recently met Usagi.  Akane 
only mentioned "the blond ditz."  There is no mention of the other senshi.

You'd need a new major villain, and probably a fair chunk of the
standard Ranma cast would fall under it's sway, including the Kunos and
Ranma.

     He's something I would really like to see.  Have a youma endanger 
Akane.  Ranma, of course, will rush to the rescue, but he gets beat up too.  
Sailor Mercury is forced to save the day.

     I don't think Akane and Ami should share the Sailor Mercury title.  
Maybe Ami's past life could have had a twin sister too.

     This fic has possibilities.  I haven't really seen that many Sailor 
Moon alternafics.  I really like the premise.  The Tendo family could use 
someone like Ami in their family.  They need a member with a brain.  Nabiki 
has proven herself to be tricky, witty, and calculating, but I don't she'd 
score all that high on an IQ test.

     The reason for the premise, however, is something I'm not all that fond 
of.  I, personally, think it's just wrong to compare Ami to Akane.  Ami is 
my favorite character is Sailor.  Akane, however, isn't one of my favorites. 
  I'm just not all that fond of main characters.  The only real similarities 
that they share is the hair style and color.  It's kind of hard to compare 
anything else because the art styles are different for each series.  Also, 
Ami is smarter than Akane, and could kick her ass as Sailor Mercury.
