A Little Violence
By Kevin McHorney
Sailor Moon created by Naoko Takeuchi. No moon cats
were harmed in the creation of this story.
Put in something to delinate the break here.
Ami froze as she heard Rei cry out, "I'm hit.
I'm hit!" The hairs on the back of her neck stood on
end as she realized that she was now alone with Makoto.
Almost as if Makoto was reading her mind, Ami
heard her voice drift down the narrow corridors.
"Ami, it's just you and me now. I hope you're ready."
Ami crouched and slid her fingers under the
elastic holding her mask in place. The band digging
into her head was starting to irritate her skin. She
adjusted her mask and clutched her rifle close to her
chest, the unfamiliar weight giving her some comfort.
Makoto's the best at this sort of thing, Ami thought.
I better think of a plan.
paragraph breaks. Please.
No plan came to mind as she looked down the
dark, narrow corridor. The walls were painted a with
drop 'a'
jagged lines of gray and black with frequent blotches
of color. Ami inched forward, her senses straining
for any trace of her friend and opponent.
She reached a T intersection and paused,
trying to decide down which path Makoto was more
likely to be waiting. Then she heard a sound from the
left corridor, the soft rustle of clothes and a rattle.
Ami dropped to one knee and aimed her rifle down the
corridor, her finger tensed on the trigger waiting to
pull at the first sign of a target.
No one appeared however, and Am
Hmm .Paintballing?

cautious step forward. She remained in her crouch to
present a smaller target. She took one hesitant step
after another until she reached a branching corridor.

extra space before the period.
Ami took advantage of Makoto's surprise and
pulled the trigger three times. Three soft 'thups'
sounded and Makoto yelled, "Ahhh! You got me, you got
me!" Makoto sighed and started wiping the blue paint
off of her chest.

said. "How did you know I was there? I thought it
was a perfect ambush spot."

her purse. "I won these in a raffle," She said,
offering the envelope to Rei. "I'm too old to use
them, but perhaps you and your friends could."
Ahh. Not a wish bringer locket. Anything but that. :)
Rei took the envelope and once again thanked
Mrs. Izuhara and left the house. Once outside she
opened the second envelope and looked inside. "Urban
Warfare paintball park?" she said, then she smiled.
"Yes, I think my friends and I could use these." Rei
walked down the street with visions of her shooting

Bah. I have visions of shooting the spore dancing through mu head. Actually,
Ben Oliver has made me like her more. Horrible that he was the one that did
it.

Five girls were sitting around a table in the
Crown Fruit Parlor, talking about their various days.
" And then I had to stand in the hallway again. This
time it wasn't even my fault. I just threw the shoe
back," Minako exclaimed. Usagi nodded in sympathy
while Makoto just shook her head. Ami was half
paying attention to the conversation and half studying
vocabulary words.
"Hey, what is everyone doing this Sunday?"
Rei asked. When everyone looked at her quizzically
she produced the paintball tickets and said, "I got
these tickets to that new paintball
redundent 'paintball'. Axe the first
place and I think
it would be fun to go together."
"Ooh, I've been there," Makoto gushed. "It's
a blast. You all have to go."
"I don't know," Ami said hesitantly.
"Paintball seems pretty violent."
"Come on Ami, "Minako said. "Since we keep
fighting monsters we

Sunday morning the girls met at the Hikawa
shrine
Shrine
in front of the wall with the new equipment. Behind
the desk sat a young, well muscled man in his mid
twenties. Ichiro Sagusa, owner and sole proprietor
stood and greeted the girls as they entered.
"Welcome, are you all here to play?"
Rei stepped up to the counter and gave him the
six tickets, "Yes, we have these."
Ichiro looked over the tickets and said, "OK,
Okay (IMO, always best to spell it out.)
with friends. "Have any of you played paintball
before?" When only Makoto raised her hand he said,
"OK,
and here
"Everything looks good to me." He paused for a moment,
looking at Ami. "Are you all right? You seem pretty
nervous."
"It's just that paintball seems so violent,"
Ami said.
"Well, sometimes a little violence can be good
for you." Ami looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Think of it this way, if you pour all your aggression
into something harmless and structured like paintball
the rest of your life will be more peaceful.
Or you find you like it and want to indulge in more, increasing the anty
until you kill people for real. :)
Tigers-eye plastered a fake smile on his face
and said, "Yes of
Yes, of
paint all over my beautiful face. I'll..."
"Hold it right there." A voice interrupted
Tigers-eye. Sailor Moon and Sailor Chibi-Moon stood
on top of a nearby barricade. The girls stopped
shooting to give Sailor Moon time for her speech.
Minako did, however, take one last shot at
Tigers-eye's forehead for the 'ugly girls' comment.
Heh. TE has no luck at all
to wipe the paint off before she could fire again.
Minako hopped out from behind a tree stump and ran to
where Makoto was crouching, firing the entire way.
Shashuko nicked the top edge of Minako's hair ribbon
as Minako dove for cover. "I'm getting low, how are
you doing?"
Try changing into a Scout. It might help.

the left of the barricade and fired. After three
shots her rifle went dead. Shashuko whipped around
and fired at Makoto. Makoto barley

Cute one shot. Brief, but to the point, and a nice fic to comeback on.
