Thank you!! Glad you liked it!

Wouldn't Ami be just mortified if she knew? Haha, I kind of like the idea of Jade being a swimmer, I really have my doubts though, should it be him or Zoi? Actually, can I ask a question? What sports would you have the guys playing? So far I've got the following:

Kunz - American Football
Neph - American Football (also loves Golf, but he's a bit too bulky for it)
(That's how N & K know each other)
Jade - Swimming (In particular the 200 free and 100 Butterfly)
Zoi - Soccer
Mamo - Baseball (Since he's Japanese)

Hm that's a good question. I think I like how you've got it set there.

Though I think I could see Kunz into Baseball as well.
Golf for Neph is a great side hobby, since he's usually portrayed as Mr. Rich. XD Ohhh How about Rugby? Mmmm, love me some rugby boys. Oh sorry. Got lost there for a minute.

Ooh, Rugby! Although he'd probably end up with cauliflower ears (I suppose that doesn't matter so much since he has such long hair! ^_^)

Can I ask whether Rugby is popular in the States? (I may be half American, but living in the UK means that if I want to watch any kind of US sport I have to be up at 3 in the morning. So I'm not really familiar with what's popular over there...)

I love the idea of Jade trying to be good at basketball. Kind of like Woody Harrilson in White Men Can't Jump...

There's one major league (and I think several minors?), and it's played in some colleges (I used to date a Rugby player... great butt, total jerkface XD ). But there's not any major televised rugby events like there are with other sports such as American Football/baseball/basketball.

I always see Jadeite as the 'water' guy. That's why he and Rei are so fascinated by each other. :D

I agree, it's definitely opposites attract with those two ^_^, but I have a tendency to sway between him being fire and water, I suppose it depends on my mood....

Wanted to let you know this one made me giggle. If I was lusting after my best friend's girl, I'd probably push her in the pool too.

As for sports, I've been writing a series of related one-shots for the challenge. I had the Shitennou reborn all over the world: Nephrite in Canada, Zoisite in France, Kunzite in Turkey, and Jadeite as a British Immigrant to India.

I'd have them all liking soccer, especially Kunzite since I have him coming from a not so well off family in Istanbul. I've written Nephrite as a hockey player who had a shot to go pro. Jadeite's backstory would probably make him a cricketer. Zoisite I'm unsure of. He'd probably either play soccer or rugby, maybe even fencing. The only backstory I've given him so far is that he played piano at a cafe. I actually wonder if Mamoru ever tried gymnastics. That might be interesting.

Jade as a cricketer would be awesome actually, I could totally see him in a white sun hat and that crazy pink sunscreen coating his nose!! ^_^
