A/N: This story takes place during the days of Silver Millennium and the last part is during the Great Battle on the moon. This is my third attempt of an Ami/Zoi fic. Why? Because I LOVE them as a couple... well other than that it is because I am utterly bored and do not have anything better to do. Anyway I don't have a beta-reader or whatever it is you called it, so you can see a lot of grammar mistakes and it may get confusing at certain parts and I did not revise this whole story.

Well this sign ~ indicates the beginning and end of a dream and the words in italics are the mental conversation. Hope you like this story, even if most of you find it rather juvenile, plot less and the story is moving at a fast pace. Well R&R!

Disclaimer: SailorMoon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi though I do wish Ami and Zoisite are mine.

********************************

A figure of a girl lay on the cold stone floor of her balcony looking up at the sky: something that she loves to do since her childhood days. The weather at this time of the year is unusually cold, but unlike many she has always loved the cold weather and welcomes it compared to the hot summer that her friends seemed to worship. How can she fear this coldness and how can it affect her when ice is her element? She never feels quite comfortable whenever summer embrace the land and wished quietly that it will be over soon; but now summer is months away and she is going to enjoy this freezing weather while she can.

The coldness from the stones crept through her giving her comfort. Many would think she is mad if they were to see her in this cold night air. The girl then stood and walked to the edge of the balcony; the full moon glowed proudly on the black sky. The stars smiled softly at her and seemed to chant her name, Ami, whilst the soft breeze kissed her cheeks and played fondly with her dark blue hair: her most interesting feature. Blue may be the colour of her planet, Mercury, but ironically Mercurians have extremely beautiful silver hair. She's probably the only Mercurian who has deep dark blue hair (thanks to the genes that she inherited from her mother). Those who are not familiar with the Mercurians thought her hair was too black that it looked blue whenever light touches it and they would take a second glance at her just to make sure that their eyes are not tricking them; others finds it hard to believe that she is actually from Mercury, but she has learned to ignore the annoying stares that people give her whenever they lay their eyes on her hair.

Her whole body ached from the tough training she went through today. Kida, her trainer, is starting to get crossed at every minuscule mistake that she made; something that she noticed a week ago. Rumour has it that Kida found out that her fiancé was disloyal, thus the reason for her bad mood for the past seven days. She doesn't blame Kida for being angry, but that doesn't give her the right to throw her anger at others. She talked to Kida today, tried to reason with the older woman, but what does she gets in return? Well other than having to do a hundred push-ups, she has to wake up at four in the morning to swim in the freezing lake near the castle for three whole hours without stopping. Not that she minds the coldness of the lake, just that the thought of swimming for three hours non-stop sounds mad.

She thought by giving Kida time, her anger might ebb, but in the end she found that nothing will cool down the woman's temper. She has to thank her lucky star that tomorrow is Sunday and so her punishment will be dragged to Monday instead; well... after a long quarrel broke out between the two where Kida insisted that her punishment is be done on Sunday. She has had it with Kida's temper and she needs to tell Queen Serenity about Kida before Kida decided to torture her to death and the fact that she does not want to do the punishment.

"Maybe that will knock some sense into that old woman," Ami said quietly to herself.

She sighed deeply and walked to her room, leaving the windows and the big glass door leading to the balcony open and she let herself fall into the comfort of her soft bed that smelled like the ocean. Ami has no idea how it managed to produce such a scent, but the answer to that will have to wait; now all she wants is to fall into slumber land. The smell from her bed relaxed her brains and her muscles melt the moment she inhaled the salty ocean smell. Her thoughts were cleared and her brains formed small pieces of puzzle and together they merged into a beautiful dream.

--------------------

Ami found herself lying on her back, looking up at the clear night sky. Sounds of people cheering, girls giggling and feet running can be heard. Instinctively Ami stood; only to find herself surrounded by her friends, wearing simple dresses and crowned their heads with varieties of flowers. They were practically dragging her in their arms while she tried her best to not stumble.

"Stop looking at the stars Ami," Usagi giggled.

"He is waiting for you," Rei said in her unusual mystique voice which is only reserved when she received a vision.

He? Ami thought in confusion.

Her expression betrayed her for Makoto said, "Do not play with us Ami. Your emerald eyes general of course. He is waiting for you under the tree with the swing."

Emerald eyes general? Before she could open her mouth to ask, her friends pushed her under a tree that is near to what looked like a celebration where there are people laughing, running, eating and talking animatedly.

Her vision was blocked by her friend, Mina, who gave a small kiss on her cheek and said, "Good luck Ami and make us proud!"

Without another word from her four friends, they ran toward the celebration where they were greeted by four men. From where she was standing, Ami could see the activities of her friends where Mina blushed slightly when a silver-haired man kissed her forehead; Rei was dancing with a short blond-haired man; Makoto looked happy in the embrace of a wavy brown-haired man and Usagi was laughing when a black-haired man tickled her with a large feather.

Ami could see the happiness in her friends' eyes and it was evident that they were in love with these men. Her musings was interrupted when she heard noises coming from the nearby bushes. Curiosity led her to investigate.

She wasn't sure how she had gotten there or how long has she been walking, but the questions were quickly washed away when her eyes fell upon the beautiful scenery in front of her: a large lake with varieties of flowers adorned its bank.

"A beautiful sight isn't it?" said a voice.

Ami jumped slightly and turned to the direction of the voice. Blue eyes interlocked with emerald eyes. She never thought that she has seen such brilliant eyes before. A man stood to her right and though his body is certainly masculine, his face has a hint of feminine features on them. They stood there for a while looking at each others' eyes as if trying to read the other person's mind.

"My apologies milady for startling you," said the man while giving Ami a bow.

Ami just smiled in response for she was too lost for words and reluctantly broke the eye contact. She felt nervous and butterflies seemed to enjoy multiplying in her stomach every minute that passed.

"Ami," at this, Ami quickly turned her head to him, but he wasn't facing her. His eyes were fixed on something that is only visible to him.

"How did you know my name?" was the only response that managed to escape her mouth.

"I know a lot about you than you know, but before you say anything," the man put a finger on Ami's lips to silence her when she began to open her mouth and then he continued, "I want you to trust me for this will alter the course of the future Ami."

Ami was bewildered at his sudden request and seemed to have lost her voice for she stood gaping at him.

The man gave out a sigh and said, "Stop us from going back to Earth when the Blue Moon emerges and a black veil covered the sky. Don't... don't ever fall for me." Confusion. Fear. Sadness. These emotion danced across her face, telling him more than words alone. "I can't explain Ami. They won't let me tell you more than that, but I need you to trust me please. Just promise me this I beg you," he was pleading to her and cupped her face in his hands; softly stroking away the silent tears that escaped her eyes.

Ami was confused; she doesn't know why she felt a great pain in her heart when he said those words to her. She was crying and she knows not why, but the need to understand his words were washed away when a loud explosion was heard.

Her Senshi training kicked in and instinctively Ami ran away from the man, from the lake and to where the feast was. Fear began to creep inside her heart as she ran and just like a mirror, her world shattered at what she saw.

People were screaming and running in every direction and a great purple flame turned anything that crossed its path into ashes. Ami tried to transform but couldn't and her fear grew with every passing second.

"AMI!" Ami quickly spun her head at the source of the scream. Rei was running towards her and before Ami could move to help her friend, a dark figure loomed over her friend and drew a sword through her.

Horrified, Ami started to run to her friend, but she was stopped by the last person she expected to see. It was Him: the emerald eyes general. She had forgotten about him. Now she looks intently at him, feeling very apprehensive.

He looks like Him. Ami told herself, but she noticed the malice instead of the warmth that she had seen in his eyes.

No, this is definitely not Him. This has to be a trick! Ami mentally told herself.

"Finished inspecting dearest Ami?" he sneered at her. Without wasting anymore precious time, he quickly grabbed her wrists. She put up a fight like any Senshi would, but he was too strong for her and before she realised it, sheer pain stopped her struggling.

She fell to the ground; her gaze on the black sky above. Then she noticed the blue moon and the starless sky that looked intensely black and bare as if a veil has covered all the stars that once shine the heavens above. She turned her head and saw the emerald eyes and gave out a scream before darkness overtook her vision.

--------------------

Sound of many feet running could be heard outside the corridor and her bedroom door swung opened. She was still screaming, tears in her eyes. Four girls surrounded her on her bed.

"Ami wake up!" came the voice from a black haired girl who shook her hard. Her voice was full of concern for her friend.

At the sound of her friend's voice her eyes shoot opened. She was trembling and sweating and quickly seize the person closest to her. Her victim was a tall lean brown haired girl. The brown haired girl rocked her friend in her arms while saying, "It's only a nightmare Ami. Shh... It's only a nightmare.".

The other two girls who both have blond hair were looking at her with concern evident in their blue eyes. "I'm going to call mother. Mina, you come with me. Rei, stay here with Ami and Makoto," said a blond haired girl who has a weird hair style that looked like two big meatballs on her head. She and her blond-haired friend, Mina, dashed to the door and collided with a tall beautiful woman who happened to share the same odd hair style as the blond meatball-haired girl. The two blond-haired girls fell on the ground not able to control their balance, but the tall woman still stands; she didn't even sway. The fallen girls quickly get to their feet and before they could say a word, the tall woman walked quickly to their friend's bed.

Ami was still traumatised by her nightmare and nothing that both her friends, Rei and Makoto, do seemed to be calming her down. The tall woman sat closely beside Ami on her bed putting her hand on Ami's forehead. She whispered words that no-one can hear and with this a soft glow of light was emitted from her hand. Ami's body relaxed and her mind is not as crowded with the horror of the dream anymore. She still feels a bit tense and she looked up into the angelic face of the woman.

"Tell me what it is that have scared you so Ami," her voice was melodious and gentle as always and her face etched with concern.

Ami could only look at her and then turn to her four girlfriends. The woman understood instantly and told the other four girls to wait outside Ami's room. With the sound of the door closed, Ami cried softly. The woman quickly hugged her.

Gathering up her courage she told the woman what she remembered from her dreams. Truth is she remembers every detail of it and told her that she saw a pair of green eyes and the horrors of the night. She told of the pain that she felt; too unbearable that it felt too real to be a dream. The woman knew naught what to make of Ami's dream. Ami is surely not a Seer, which is Rei's job, but a feeling of foreboding hung in her heart at Ami's story. The woman did not press further, but let Ami cry in her arms.

"Wh-wh-what does this means Queen Serenity? It's just a dream... but why am I having such a horrible feeling about it?" Ami said in a soft voice between sobs.

"I'm afraid I don't have the answer to that Ami. Right now I don't want you to think of that dream. I'll have Makoto sleep with you tonight and I want you to drink this Dreamless Draught." The woman called Queen Serenity gave a slight movement with her hand and floating in front of Ami is a glass vial containing the Dreamless Draught. Ami obediently drank the vial empty and then Queen Serenity walked to the door and opened it. Four girls instantly fell to the floor, obviously pressing their ears to the door hoping to hear the conversation, which I might add was a failure.

"Makoto, I want you to accompany Ami for tonight. Usagi, Rei and Mina, you can go back to your rooms. Ami will be fine with Makoto," said Queen Serenity in a commanding but gentle voice.

"But mother, I want to accompany Ami too, please?" at this response from Usagi (the meatball-haired girl), Rei and Mina too asked whether they can accompany Ami. Queen Serenity smiled down at them and agreed. She knows that even if she disagrees, they will creep from their rooms to Ami's. The girls then dashed into Ami's room each giving Queen Serenity a quick hug and Usagi gave her mother a kiss on the cheek. All four girls got on the bed only to realise how small it is for them to sleep in. Queen Serenity smiled and shook her head and with a flick of her sceptre the bed increased two times its normal size. Together they chorused 'Good night' to Queen Serenity.

When the door and windows are closed, they all turned to Ami and gave her a reassuring smile. No-one asked her about the dream; instead the five girls pulled the covers to their waist and silently sing a song for Ami who is lying between Makoto and Rei. She feels completely safe with them around and the soft song that they sang echoed through the night, easing her troubled mind. If anyone listened to them singing that night, their voices would certainly be mistaken for an angle's, for the tune that they wove is so ethereal that you feel as if you're dreaming. Ami fell asleep a few minutes later and only when her friends are sure that she has fallen into a deep sleep did they stop singing and went to sleep. Before Ami falls asleep, again for the last time for many years to come, she saw the pair of brilliant emerald eyes, but this time the eyes do not reflect evil: it is the same soft sad eyes that she first saw and loved.

When the five girls are soundly asleep, Queen Serenity opened the door to Ami's room and walked to the edge of her bed, watching Ami and her friends sleeping. They looked so beautiful and innocent lying there not knowing what the future holds for them. This gave Queen Serenity a feeling of guilt and she is torn between the happiness of the girls and the safety of the whole universe. She knows from the start that the girls will face a hard life and nothing is certain for them. Love will be almost impossible for them for they have duties to their Princess, her daughter. She has placed a huge burden on the girls' shoulders and even if they find love, she does not want them to lose their loved ones just like how she has lost her husband and the Senshi before them. She felt responsible for giving them a cursed life and this hurts her more especially since she has grown to love all four girls and treated them like they were her own daughters.

Silent tears escape her eyes and quietly she whispered, "I'm sorry my beautiful nightingales... Sorry for placing this burden upon all of you. I'm Sorry..." and with that she left the room, closing the door silently.

None of the girls knew that Queen Serenity wept that night.

--------------------

There are no stars in the sky and the air smell of blood and dust floated everywhere and the blue moon glowed in the black veiled sky. They have lost the battle and the destruction is far from she imagined. She cannot sense the presence of her friends anymore. They are either dead, too far or she is just too tired and weak to sense their presence. She is lying in her own pool of blood and she can see the faint hands of Death reaching out to her, slowly pulling her soul from her body. It was painful, but not as painful as to see the one you love drive a sword through you. Her murderer is standing next to her now looking at her bloodied figure. His face looked white as snow and his eyes were full of malice and loathing for her.

Those eyes were once beautiful and full of stars that shined only for her. Those emerald eyes were once her lover's eyes, the ones that she has so often fallen in love with; but now he is gone and an evil being has taken over him.

How can he betray her and how can she let herself fall for him? She should have remembered her dream, should have believed it, but did she? No she did not. She refused to believe that he will betray her, refused to believe in her silly dream, anyway she is not a Seer, unlike Rei, so why should she? How can he change so much in such a short time? Love is blind, she has to admit it. It clouded her judgement.

"How could you do this?" she said these words with difficulty, her breathing uneven. She struggled to breathe and at this he kneeled down and gripped her neck.

"Because I can... milady," he laughed menacingly and tightened his grip on her neck forcing the air out of her lungs.

She did not struggle, for her energy is spent and for the last time she looked at those brilliant green eyes of his and breathed her last.
