Ohaio! Once again, it's Raintheangels, back with the sequel to my well-received story, A little advice from an unlikely source. Glad ya liked it, and let me know what you think. On with the show!

Disclaimer: Yeah, so I own nothing but my skateboard and a laptop. Certainly not Sailor Moon, so please no suing me. The only thing I can give you is a headache.

Spreading her wings: an unlikely sequel

"So that's it." said Minako. The blond-haired Senshi of Love looked around the table. The usual study gang was at Rei's temple, and while the studying was at a stand-still due to summer holidays, the Sailor Senshi would usually meet up, just out of habit.

As usual, Usagi's attention had waned fairly quickly, and she had purloined one of Rei's manga. Rei was busy snapping at Usagi, because, as usual, the soft-ball headed senior hadn't bothered to ask for permission. Luna and Artemis were out, both having errands to take care of, and Makoto was busying herself in the kitchen, as nobody could resist the Thunder Senshi's cooking.

"Hey, are you guys even listening to me? Ami's been acting weird, she's almost always got a new bruise or scrape, and she won't even show up to hang out with us! Don't you think that's a little fishy?" the irate Minako yelled. Rei stopped badgering Usagi and looked up. "I'm not worried, and I don't see why you should be, Mina. After all, this is Ami-chan we're talking about. I seriously doubt she has some mystery, abusive boyfriend." It was at this moment Usagi let out a peal of laughter. Something in Rei's manga must have caught her eye. "I swear, Usagi, if you spoil the ending for me, I'm gonna carve my name on your back with an ice pick!" screamed Rei.

Makoto walked in, bearing a tray of fresh-baked cookies. She looked at her friends. "I'm worried, though. She would tell us if anything was going on. I say we find out what's really going on." "Alright! Secret spy mission!" squealed Usagi.

The quartet soon found themselves at the local library. The librarian looked at them, and said that she hadn't seen Ami for a few days. At hearing this, the girl's spirits sank. Where could Ami be? They had checked all of her known haunts, including the medical clinic where Ami worked part-time, the science club at school, the local chapter of Mensa, and the library. Nobody had seen Ami for the past few days. The girls grew worried, and ideas were running low.

The quartet left the library, and decided to head over to the local park for a much-needed break, as the weather was sunny and warm. Usagi suggested putting up signs with Ami's picture on them, rather like a lost puppy sign, but was quickly smacked with Rei's paper fan. Where it had materialized from, no-one knew, and nobody ever bothered to ask. After buying ice cream from the vendor, the girls sat dejectedly at a bench near a certain concrete area of the park.

All of a sudden, Makoto pointed and shouted; "There she is! There's Ami-chan!"

Sure enough, walking towards them, carrying a skateboard that bore the word ZERO on the bottom was Ami. She was wearing blue jeans, tight enough to show off her figure, but baggy enough to permit free movement. Her blue T-shirt bore the single word "enjoi" and she was wearing blue Fallen skate shoes. Her left elbow bore a testimonial to her efforts of the day, a red scrape. The other girls were stunned. What had happened to shy, bookworm Ami, who preferred skirts to pants, and almost never got hurt, save for an occasional paper cut? Minako was the first to break the silence.

"Ami? Since when did you start skating? And ditching out on our study sessions, no less!" Ami looked crest-fallen, and apologized profusely. "I-I'm sorry, everyone. I've been having so much fun with this, I didn't even think about studying." Makoto smiled. "It's okay, Ami-chan. Since you got into Tokyo U, we figured you were relaxing, but not like this. Although, it does suit you." "Yeah, Minako thought you had an abusive new boyfriend you were hiding from us! As if!" laughed Usagi. At this, Minako blushed.

"So is it fun, Ami-chan? Can you do any tricks?" asked Makoto. At this, Ami dropped into the pool, and performed a small backside air. The girls whooped and hollered. When Ami rejoined them, Rei asked "So how did you find your awesome new hobby, Ami-chan?" Ami blushed, remembering the conversation with the odd man, Robb. She replied; "Well, the other day, I went to the library to find a book, but it was so sunny and nice out, that it just felt….wrong, you know? Like it was a crime to waste such a gorgeous day." "I know, why do we have to study on nice days like this, when we've already gotten accepted to college?" whined Usagi. "Because some of us actually need it, meat-ball head!" sneered Rei. Usagi pouted, while Minako asked Ami to continue. Launching back into her story, Ami said, "So I was sitting here, and a man came down, and started to skate this pool. He fell off, and I asked if he was okay. He said he was, and we got to talking. He said I looked bored, and, to tell the truth, I was. He said to try something new, and this was the only thing I could think of. So I went to mall, and bought this new board, and became hooked." Ami indicated to her elbow. "Sure, I'm not very good, and everyone falls now and then, but it's fun to learn new tricks, and the whole of skating is like a giant physics problem just begging to be solved. I can't help it, I'm addicted!" Ami finished with a glowing look of pride on her face.

"Well, how do you win?" asked the ever-competitive Rei. Ami frowned. "You don't get it. There is no winning or losing. Everyone roots for everyone, and they help you up if you fall. It's like a big family." Rei smiled, and Minako couldn't help but get in a parting jab. "Well, it sounds like you must really like this guy, if you start a new hobby just from his advice." She teased. Ami blushed profusely, and said; "It was good advice. Thank you all for worrying about me, but I'm fine. I'll see you all tomorrow. The usual time, right?" "Right." replied Usagi. "Bye, Ami. Have fun!" said Makoto, as the four waved good-bye to Ami, but the blue-nette was already racing off, eager to make up for lost time. The girls started walking away. "Figures Ami would take something cool, and compare it to something icky, like math." whined Usagi. "Don't make me break out the paper fan again!" shot back Rei. Minako looked at the others, and said, "Wow. Our little Ami-chan's a skater chick. Who would have guessed?" "Can we stop at the mall on the way back, guys? There's, ah, something I want to check out…" said Makoto. Everyone laughed.

The end (or is it?)

A/N: Thanks for reading this! As usual, the skate and shoe companies are real, I don't own them, so hopefully they won't sue me over some free publicity. I hope you guys liked this new update, and please read and review! And, yes. I live in constant fear of that mysterious paper fan. It's evil!
