Chapter 17: Ami lets her hair down.

Ami is sitting in front of the TV watching commercials.

"I wish guys would look at me." Ami says.

She sees a supermodel commercial.

"It seems like all the girls that men find attractive here have long hair. Maybe I should
grow my hair long." Ami says.

She imagines herself in her mind. She is walking through town with long blue hair. The
guys are whistling at her. Ami smiles at the thought.

Serena is racing down the street.

"I'm late for school." Serena yells.

But the others are racing down.

"We are all late. Cause you had to go and mess up the alarm clock." Rei says angrily.

"Well Ami is probably early. She was gone when we woke up." Mina says.

"Yeah it's weird. She usually goes to school with us. Maybe she was so excited to get
there and do the finals." Lita says.

"Oh my god. The finals are today?" Serena shrieks.

"Yeah. They only mentioned that like every period for the past week." Rei responds.

Serena falls to her knees and starts crying.

"Wah I didn't study enough." Serena cries.

"You probably would fail it even if you had studied. I wouldn't worry meatball head."
Rei says looking annoyed.

Serena looks at her watch and gets up wailing. They all take off towards the school. They
race up the stairs and enter the front doors just as the bell rings.

"I could have sworn I just saw Ami back there. No it couldn't have been her. She would
be in class long before now." Serena says.

They all rush into their classes.

"You are late Serena. But since this is you first time, I will not punish you." The teacher
says.

Serena wipes her brow. She smiles when she sees Jarod and he meekly smiles back.

"Okay as I have told you all last week, it's finals week. I will be passing the test out just
as soon as I explain how to take this test." The teacher says.

Serena suddenly gets sick to her stomach, thinking about her chances.

"Uh, teacher. I think I am gonna be sick." Serena says.

She gags.

"Okay take it to the bathroom and do that. I don't want the floor dirty." The teacher says.

Serena gladly races out of the classroom and into the bathroom. After throwing up a
couple of times, she leaves and starts heading back to her class. She passes the front door
and sees something through the window.

"Ami?" Serena wonders.

She opens the doors and sees Ami hanging out with a couple of bad looking girls. Ami
looks different. Her hair is longer.

"Ami how come you aren't in class?" Serena asks.

Ami turns towards her and to Serena's shock, puts a cigarette in her mouth and lights it.

"Ami what are you doing?" Serena asks.

"Who is this meatball head that is too nosy?" One of the girls asks.

"Oh just a friend of mine. Who is about to become an ex friend if she doesn't get out of
my face." Ami responds angrily.

The girls' eyes go wide.

"Yo it's a teacher. Let's get out of here." The other girl yells.

The other girls take off but Serena reaches out for Ami.

"Why are you doing this?" Serena asks.

Ami looks at her and then backhands her. Then she takes off after the other girls.

"Serena. What do you think you are doing out here? I only said you could go to the
bathroom. Not skip class with the bad girls." The teacher asks very angry.

"I only came out here to check up on why my friend was out here." Serena responds.

"A very likely story. I am taking you to the principles office." The teacher growls.

"Ami why are you doing this?" Serena thinks.

"I swear that I am telling the truth. It shocked me cause Ami doesn't do stuff like that."
Serena says.

"Her again. I am really regretting my decision to let her back in this school." The
principle says frowning.

Serena hangs her head low.

"Okay since you haven't gotten into trouble before, I will believe you. Return to class
immediately. I will deal with Ms. Anderson." The principle says.

Serena follows the teacher back to class.

"Now since you have missed a lot of the period, I will let you take your finals tomorrow.
But nothing better happen like this tomorrow or I will flunk you." The teacher says.

"Yea Mam." Serena says.

After class the girls get together and Serena tells them of her shocking discovery.

"No way. Ami would never do something like that." Mina says.

"Do you suppose that it's the zerk again?" Lita asks.

"Maybe. Or maybe she has just changed. People do that." Rei responds.

"Over night?" Serena asks.

"She may have just been pretending to be the same. Who knows how long she had been
feeling this way." Mina says.

"No. I have known Ami too long to believe that." Serena says shaking her head.

"I once knew a good friend. We were friends for 10 years. Then she hooked up with the
wrong crowd and not only dumped on me, but she also robbed from my grandpa's temple
with me watching." Rei says sadly.

The warning bell rings and the girls file to their separate classes. Ami comes in smelling
of smoke and purposely waits for the late bell to ring before waltzing into her class.

"Ami you are late. I am surprised at you." The teacher says.

"So you are surprised. Ain't my fault." Ami says shrugging.

The teacher is stunned and Ami just sits down in a seat she knows isn't hers and puts her
feet up.

"Ms. Anderson. Get in your assigned seat and don't put your feet up like that." The
teacher yells.

Ami picks up the seat and walks over to where she is supposed to sit. She then kicks the
chair aside and sits down on the same one. She then puts her feet up on the head of the
student in front of her. The student quickly moves his head and shoots her an angry look.

"That's it. Go to the principle's office right now!" The teacher yells.

"Yeah whatever. See yah." Ami says smiling.

Ami waltzes out and nearly runs into Serena who is running towards the bathroom sick
again.

"Yo this isn't a speedway meatball head." Ami says.

Serena looks up and sees a tattoo of the mercury sign on her elbow.

"When did you get this Ami?" Serena asks shocked.

"Nunya." Ami responds.

"Huh?" Serena asks confused.

"As in nun of your business. There is a much nastier version but you are too young to
hear it." Ami says laughing.

She shoves Serena to the floor and heads for the front entrance.

"Ms. Anderson." A loud voice calls out.

Ami turns around and sees the principle.

"Where do you think you are going?" the principle asks.

"Nunya." Ami says.

The principle gets even angrier looking. Ami uses the profane version and the principle
goes nuts.

"That's it. You are expelled again and this time for good. Get the heck off my property
before I pick you up and throw you out." The principle screams, face red.

"Yo. Whatever school sucks anyway." Ami says.

After she leaves Serena hides.

"It's amazing how fast and how bad good kids can get." The principle says shaking his
head.

Serena hurries back to class and ponders what just happened. Meanwhile back in the hall
Chaka appears and goes into the office.

"Can I help you? Oh you are the substitute that was here for a week. I heard that you did
a good job. I hope you can help again sometime." The principle says.

"Oh you can help right now." Chaka says in a deep voice.

She sheds her disguise and puts the helmet on the principle.

"What the?" The principle says startled.

"Now tell me everything you know about the life crystal and where it came from." Chaka
says.

But nothing comes up on the machine. Chaka leaves and heads out the front door. The
bell rings and she hides.

"Can't be seen here. I don't have time to fight right now." Chaka says.

The four girls are walking down the hallway for their lunch period. Serena sees someone
in the corner of her eyes. She spins around.

"You." Serena yells.

Chaka runs towards the entrance and the girls all transform in the bathroom. They race
outside.

"Hold it right there." Sailor Moon says.

"Fine. I just wanted to get away from the crowd so I can finish you girls off." Chaka says.

"Yeah right." Sailor Mars says.

Chaka takes out a huge weapon.

"Say hello to my new power. This baby can dish out some serious pain." Chaka says.

She pulls the trigger and a burst of fire comes out of the barrel. Sailor Moon screams and
jumps out of the way barely. Chaka laughs evilly.

Ami is standing nearby smoking. Something inside of her snaps when she hears the cry of
Serena.

"Mercury star power." Ami yells.

She runs towards the school.

"Ami?" Sailor Moon yells.

"I am Sailor Mercury. I will not let you attack my friends anymore." Sailor Mercury says.

Chaka smiles and spins around.

"Eat fire." Chaka yells.

"Mercury ice spears strike." Sailor Mercury says.

The spears strike the incoming fire but do no good.

"Darn it." Sailor Mercury yells.

"Do you think your mere powers can destroy this weapon?" Chaka asks laughing.

Chaka pulls the trigger and fire envelops Sailor Mercury.

"Sailor Mercury." Sailor Moon yells.

"NO!"

Sailor Mercury slumps down all burned. Suddenly she gets up eyes glowing. She rushes
forward and slams her fist into the weapon. The first setting explodes.

"No." Chaka yells.

Sailor Mercury slumps to the ground. Suddenly she changes into a slimy creature.

"It was the zerk." Sailor Venus yells.

The zerk jumps onto Chaka's head and starts to smother her. But Chaka simply changes
into something smaller and runs away. The creature flops to the ground and stops
moving.

"Is it dead?" Sailor Venus wonders.

Later that day they return home.

"Ami where were you?" Mina asks.

"I was at a doctor's appointment. I got a wig and the fibers give me a bad skin rash." Ami
responds.

"Things are really bad at school. Your double showed up again and got you expelled once
more. I don't think the principle will reverse his decision this time." Mina says.

"We tried to explain it to him but he doesn't believe us. It looks really bad." Rei says.

"If you stay expelled, they may kick you off of the student exchange program and you
may have to return to Japan." Lita says.

They all look desperate.
