Chapter Seven

; Rei was worried. She hadn't seen Luna in three days and she had looked everywhere. When she asked her Grandpa if he had seen her he just said no and continued on with his chores.

; She had left the Jinja and decided to look for her in town.

; It just wasn't like Luna to run off and not tell anyone. She had to find her.

;

; Bunny had awoken with a feeling of dread. It had stayed with her for the better part of the morning and became stronger when she saw Ami later than afternoon. When she saw the girl, she almost did not recognize Ami.

Ami had lost weight, her cheeks were hollow, and she hard dark circles under her eyes that looked as if she had not been sleeping. And she was trembling, her body was shaking like it was leaf caught in the wind.

; Bunny could not stand to see her like that.

; "Hey, Bunny," Molly's chipper voice shook her from her dark study of her friend. "Do you want to go to movies tomorrow night?"

; "No," she said absently, "Mama and I are going to the opera."

; "The opera, fancy." Kari oohed.

; Bunny shook her head, "Not really, Mama, just enjoys live music-" She gathered up her books and stood. "Hey, do me a favor. I'm going off campus to get some food." She told Molly, "Tell Ms. H. alright?"

; "Sure," Molly sounded a bit down, "Have a good lunch."

; "You, too." She called back over her shoulder. Bunny left them and followed Amy, who was heading off campus, too. She trotted out of the gates and ran to catch up with the fast moving genius. "Ami!" She called out, when the girl seemed to be getting a head of her. "Wait up!"

; Ami stopped at the sound of her name; Her entire stance went rigid before she turned around to see who was calling her, expecting more insults or worst. When her eyes fell upon the silvery blonde hair, floating free in a low tail, she automatically did a double take, before letting out at hoarse, "Bunny?"

; When she saw the transformation that happened in Ami's face, Bunny knew she had made the right decision. She raced to the other girl and caught Ami in her arms.

; Ami, who was still not convinced, broke down in tears.

; Bunny held her tight, letting her cry out her pain and her lose. When she had cried out all she could, Bunny wiped dried Ami's eyes and gave her best smile.

; "I'm sorry, Bunny," Ami whispered, "I'm so sorry-"

; "Sssh," she told her, taking her hand in hers, "It's alright. I'm not mad at you."

; Ami nodded. "But I was wrong. We all were, Rei had no right-"

; "Let's not talk about Rei or whether you are right or wrong. It doesn't matter right now." She began to pull her down the busy sidewalk, towards the Crown. "Are you hungry? Lord, knows I am. But there is nothing new with about that. "

; When they came to door of the Crown, Ami balked. Bunny turned her, a puzzled look on her pretty face. "Ami, what's wrong?"

; "I can't go in there." Ami answered her unspoken question.

; Bunny's frowned, "Why not?"

; "Andrew banned us."

; An elegant little brow went up as comprehension followed. "Andrew did what?" She nearly shrieked. Bunny took a deep breath and brought her murderous rage under control. After a moment, she had pulled herself together, Bunny flashed Ami her famous smile and before Ami could blink Bunny grabbed her by the arm and hauled her inside. "Andrew!" The normally melodious, angelic voice resounded in every ear, sounding like nails on a blackboard. The sound scared small children and causing others to look about in alarm as Bunny stalked through the Arcade, dragging the horrified Ami by an arm while screaming for Andrew.

; Bunny shoved her friend into a booth and with a look promising the worst type of pain to anyone who dared to come within shouting distance of her best friend without her permission. Bunny then set out on her mission to kill one cute blonde guy in an apron for his mistreatment of one of her best friends. Bunny only went so far before to a complete halt before the most beautiful sight in her life.

; Before her very eyes was a gift from the gods themselves.

; "Bunny," Andrew began quickly, fearing for his life as he watched the tiny, blonde girl stalk him and the banana split in his hands. "This is for-"

; "Me!" She cried in delight as she snatched it from his hands. "Oh, Andrew, and to think I was going to rip your black heart out and you for the horrible things you have done to Ami." She gave him a wink. "Two cheeseburgers, two large fries and one large chocolate shake for me and a strawberry one for Ami, oh, and a side salad, too. All of which I just know you're going to graciously pay for being so mean to Ami and ruining the saintly image I held on to for so many years."

; He did not miss the implied threats at all. Bunny may look like something a go stiff breeze could knock over, but he had seen her take out Dark Kingdom beast that were twice his weight and height, not that she knew that of course. Still, he was not going to tempt Sailor Moon.

Groaning, Andrew pulled out his pad and jot down her order. "Alright and what else did Ami want beside the shake?"

; She gave him a withering look, "I told you. Two cheeseburgers, two large fries and the shakes. And don't forget that salad. She needs the vegetables." She reached out and slapped his arm a couple times. "How could you be so mean to Ami!" She yelled at him. "Ami is the sweetest, most kindest, gentlest person in the whole world and you were mean to her." She punched him the arm. "And now you have upset me. What is wrong with you, Andrew? When did you become insensitive jerk like the rest of the guys in this town?"

; "Oww, Bun!" He jumped back from her flaying hand. "I was trying to protect her-"

; "Bunny," Ami called, her voice was slightly hesitant, "Your phone is ringing."

; With punch to Andrew's bruised arm, Bunny happily skipped back to their booth. She slid the ice cream under Ami's nose and ordered her to eat, while she rummaged through her bag for her cell phone.

; Ami looked down at the sugary concoction and started to push it away, but Bunny stopped her.

; "Hold on, Mama," Bunny hit the mute button and fixed her most intimidating stare on Ami as she grabbed a spoon and shoving it into her hand. "Eat it." She said firmly, her tone would no allow any arguments. "You look like death warmed over, eat that, eat the food that's coming, even the damned salad and once you are done, we are going to my house and we are going to have a long talk-"

; "Bunny, but your mother-"

; Bunny picked up her phone, "Mama, Mizuno Ami passed out at school and no one could reach her mom. I volunteered to take her home. Ouí, our house, if that is alright-Of course. I know, Mama. Merci, Mama." She turned back to Ami, her eyes still hard. "We will talk later, I promise you."

; Behind the counter, Andrew was grumbling about insane women and their strange lives. When a tall, dark haired youth sat down at the bar.

; "Drew, what happen to my ice cream?"

; Andrew turned around and dropped the banana split on the counter with enough force to crack the glass dish. "You could have waited for me to bring it to you, Darien."

; Endy flashed him a roguish smile, "So that's Serenity?" he asked in a low whispered. "She's got a set of lungs on her."

; Andrew nodded, "That is the High Princess at her most obnoxious herself and the Imperial Senshi of Mercury, Princess Athena Diana, who looks like she's wasting away." His voice just as low.

; "Your report said that Sere was having difficulties with her guard?"

; "She is, but she and Athena had always been close. But as far as I knew as of this morning, the Princess had been keeping her distance from all the Senshi."

; Endy half turned and studied to two girls, Serenity was laughing as she forced another bite into Mercury's mouth. As he looked closer at the Princess of Mercury, he noticed how wan she looked and even though she was smiling, there was a hint of sadness in her face that was almost pathetic. And Drew's observation was dead on, that girl did look like she dying. Being apart from her closest companion had all but killed the girl.

; Andrew handed off the girls order to an assistant, he turned his attention to his lord. "Umino will be able to give you a more accurate report of the what transpired between the Princess and Lady Athena Diana by this afternoon."

; Endy nodded, "Good. And what of the other situations?"

; "The riff is in the North Juuban Park." Andrew smiled as a few girls passed. Endy for the most part ignored them. "The Senshi always appear when one of Beryl's pets show up."

; "Before or after your men?"

; "After," Andrew told him. "We are under orders from Artemis to never engage unless the situation becomes unstable."

; "Has it?"

; Andrew hesitated slightly, "Yes, a few times."

; "When?"

; Andrew wished to every god he knew that someone else had informed Endy about Serenity's first attempts at fighting on her own. But no, no one wanted to face the slightly crazed, obsessive, and all around scary Prince Endymion of Terra when it came to telling him anything about his beloved being put in harms why.

; In Andrew's mind, everyone at the Academy was a coward.

; "Andrew!" Bunny shouted for the second time that day.

; He thanked every god he knew off for sparing him his interrogation. With a huge smile on his face, Andrew practically leapt over the counter as he sang, "Coming, Bunny."

; Endy watched him practically run across the room to do Serenity's bidding. A small smirk graced his lips as he picked up his brother's melting dessert and returned to their table.
