Someone was saying her name. "Amy." Shaking her head from side to side to shake out the cobwebs, she looked up into gorgeous brown eyes. "You're awake." the voice said full of relief. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Amy asked, sitting up in her bed. She was wearing a black dress that she didn't remember putting on. The thing she put one was the suit before the funeral... "It's me, Robert. You fainted in my car and I brought you in." Robert said putting his hand on Amy's. "Sorry, Robert. I guess my mind wanted to black everything out." Amy said thinking of the woman's revelations. "Did you know about her?" "No," Robert said, shaking his head, "she was as much of a shock to me as she was to you." "Thanks for getting me in here." Amy said, shakily getting on her feet. "Sit down! I'll see myself out." Robert said, collecting his jacket on the way out. Hearing the door slam, Amy was left to her thoughts. Amy thought as she went into her kitchen to get something to eat. The kitchen was small, but homey. Done in blue and white, it suited Amy just fine. The refrigerator and cupboards were always stocked, incase Serena ever came over. Smiling, she opened the fridge and grabbed something to drink. Looking at the table, she saw a rose in a vase. The telephone rang, jarring Amy from her thoughts. "Hello? Oh, hi Mina. Everything's fine. No, I don't need you to come over. Why don't you keep what's-his-name busy? Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye." Amy hung up the telephone. She was glad Mina was concerned, although her mind was obviously elsewhere. Taking a second look at the rose, she realized that it was aqua- colored. ********** Robert ********** Robert was walking in the park. He didn't know what possessed him to leave a rose. He remembered the Mercurian princess from the Silver Millennium when him and Greg were brothers. Since Greg was older, *he* had been betrothed to Princess Amy. Robert was the younger brother waiting in the wings, due to inherit his father's title because Greg would inherit Amy's title. Fate was unfair, and didn't deal him a much better hand this time. Slumping on a bench, Robert sighed and shook his head. Falling in love a second time didn't help him much, but at least he had an advantage this time. His main rival was already dead. Now to only convince Amy that he deserved her. "Is that you, Robert?" Robert heard a very feminine voice ask him. Looking up, he smiled. "Hello, Michelle. How are you doing?" Brushing her hair out of her face, she smiled and answered, "I'm okay. I heard about your brother." She lowered her voice, "The one from your past life." "I know Michelle. A true pity that he had to go so young." The Neptunian princess had been one of his best friends in the Silver Millenium. "I heard your mother had been resurrected." "Don't remind me." Michelle groaned. "She's already been looking for people from the Silver Millennium." Glancing at his watch, Robert said hurriedly, "Sorry, Michelle, but I really have to go." Standing up and hugging him, Michelle said, "Well, it was nice to see you. Transform if you ever feel bored." With that, she was off. Walking to his apartment, Robert took the time to enjoy the scenery. There was the nice park, a hotdog vender, Amy sitting under his favorite willow tree, a kid riding a bike...wait! Robert did a double take. Amy was a vision sitting under the tree, reading a book. Her reading glasses perched on the end of her nose, the light streaming through her hair...if he didn't hurry, he'd miss his train to work. Ah, the life of a writer. ********** Amy ********** Amy shut her book. "A History of an Ancient Millennium" by L. A. Robertson was an excellent find. Trista had suggested it to her. She said it contained myths from the Silver Millennium and how the courts were run. Once she and the other scouts got married, Mercury and the other planets would bloom with life that had been forced to lay dormant over the past few millennia. Amy yearned for home. Mercury Palace seemed more like home with every day that passed. She thought that she would share it with Greg, but he was torn away from her. How about...? She shouldn't be thinking that. Her boyfriend died a week ago and here she was, thinking of another man. Amy stood up and dusted herself off. Soon she would have to go to her "Mythology and Today" course at Central Tokyo University. Since graduating last year, Amy had decided to take another course to satiate her curiosity about the Silver Millennium. So far, everything they've said about the Silver Millennium was true according to Luna. "Taxi!" Amy yelled at the same time a masculine voice did. Climbing in, Amy said, "Central Tokyo University." "Sorry, Amy." A voice chuckled, "I was here first. 257 East Avenue, please." Turning her head to the right, Amy said, "Oh, Robert! Fancy meeting you here. I was just going to the University for my one class." "Really?" Robert asked. "I'm going to work. What class are you taking?" "I'm taking 'Mythology and Today' with Professor Higgins. What do you do?" Amy asked. "I attempt to write books," Robert said amicably. "If anything ever gets published, I'll let you know." Pulling up to a posh apartment complex, Robert said, "This is my humble abode." Kissing her on the cheek, he said, "I hope to see you soon." Kissing him back, Amy said, "I'm still open for that dinner invitation." "I'll pick you up tomorrow at seven. Make sure you dress up." Robert said with a smile. "I will." Amy said, smiling as the door closed. Speeding to her class, Amy sighed to herself. If she was going to travel the road to ruin, it might as well be with a gorgeous man.
