Monday evening, Sphinx campfire

[slr_mercury]

Ami had a relatively stress-free day at work, and was now busily typing away on her laptop. She was stretched out on a comfy chair outsidethe cabin, a small campfire burning.

Coming back from work to already find Ami outside by the campfire sure made the task of finding her easy. //"Ah, Ami-chan,"// she said, as though surprised to see her there and shifting a little, //"there you are."//

[slr_mercury]

"Mmm?" Ami said as she tore her eyes away from the laptop. //"Oh, Setsuna-chan. Hello."//

[bound2blade]

Setsuna smiled at Ami, blushing nervously. She shifted her weight from foot to foot. //"I have a surprise for you,"// she announced. One that she hoped would make up for the other night and all the crying and everything.

//"Look,"// she untucked the signed slip of paper from the hem of her skirt and presented to Ami. //"I've recieved Deadpool's signature so that we can be allowed access to the Special Collections. I was thinking perhaps we could try to find out more about this Moon Kingdom from your dreams and the meditations there."//

[slr_mercury]

It had been a while since Ami had thought about the planned trip to Special Collections. Her eyes lit up. //"Oh, that is good."// Not as good as it would have been if Setsuna was here to talk about something else, but... that was not to be.

[bound2blade]

And they so totally already talked about it, anyway. In Setsuna's mind, anyway. She blanched a little, though, at the response. Sure, Ami looked excited but....just good? Was just good enough to forgive her transgressions?

//"So, uh, yeah, whenever you'd like, we can go have a look and see if we find anything to help..."//

[slr_mercury]

//"Well, how about Thursday? I have a workshop first period and then again after lunch, but there is time in between those..."//

[bound2blade]

//"I think Thursday after first period should work fine,"// Setsuna nodded, smiling slightly. //"I haven't any workshops at all that day."//

[slr_mercury]

/"Excellent, it is a plan."//

[bound2blade]

//"Good,"// Setsuna said, and then drifted a little off into awkwardness again. //"Um, so..."// She took a seat. "What's up?"

Yeah, that was good and casual. Yup.

[slr_mercury]

//"Well... billy and i snuck into the Danger Shop and had a picnic under the earth, on the moon-surface. It was very nice and romantic."// Not trying to make BFF jealous, not at all.

[bound2blade]

"Oh." Setsuna blinked a few times, shifted a little more, and swallowed. That did sound very nice and romantic, and a very good thing because if Ami could see that Billy was better for her anyway... //"That sounds incredible, Ami-chan! Was it your idea, or his?"//

[slr_mercury]

//"It was an idea we had when on the moon that time. But to do it yesterday was his idea."//

[bound2blade]

//"It was a very good idea,"// Setsuna said, nodding a lot. Hint, hint. Good guy, that Billy, much more considerate that supposed BFFs who don't talk to you for a week and then make you cry, hum hum.

[slr_mercury]

//"I suppose."// Ami said sadly. Good guy yes, BFF he is not though.

[bound2blade]

//"...What's the matter, then?"// Setsuna asked, frowning; she was tentative about it, because she didn't want...that topic to be brought back up, but she didn't see why Ami should have that tone in her voice. She had a boyfriend who took her on picnics on fake moonscapes! Setsuna didn't have a boyfriend who'd do that. Well...she did. She had. A couple of 'em. And she broke up with them.

Hmmm...Setsuna's eyes shifted away for a bit.

[slr_mercury]

//"Well..."// Ami didn't really want to bring up that topic either. However, there it was, all brought up. //"Things are good but..."// There was always a 'but' wasn't there?
