Dinner, Dancing and Amy

Arriving back at her apartment, following her trip to the local grocery store, Makoto opened her front door, entered and kicked the door closed behind her. She then went to her kitchen to put her groceries away.  She then swept the floors and dusted the furniture that needed to be dusted. After those chores were completed, Makoto trudged into her living room and sat down on the sofa. She picked up an old issue of Better Homes and Gardens and began to re-read one of the articles. After about five minutes worth of reading, the buxom brunette laid down on the sofa, head, shoulders and upper torso on one cushon, supported by a pillow, hips and "bootilicious" ass on the crack between the two and her long, shapely legs and perfect feet on the second. The magazine she was reading slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor. 'I told Ami-chan to be here at 3:30. I think I have time for a little nap.' was her final thought, before drifting off to sleep.

Meanwhile, at the Mizuno residence, Ami entered her living room and sat down on the sofa. She thought that she would curl up in a good book and her choice du jour was Herman Melville's Moby Dick. She read up 'till the part where the White Whale first appeared, when her mother appeared in the doorway, dressed and ready to go to work. "Ami-chan I am going to have to go in to work. I know that I told you that I had the day off, but a male colleague, who works the 3 to 11 shift, called in sick and the hospital just called to ask if I would cover for him. Of course I said that I would. So, I am going to the hospital now. I am so sorry."

Instead of throwing a tantrum, like she might have if she were younger(or Usagi), Ami simply rose from the sofa, walked to where her mother was standing and hugged her. "I understand mom. Duty calls. I am going to Makoto's after I finish reading this book. She is a wonderful cook, so I will not starve. And if you get home after I go to bed, then I will see you tomorrow." she said. Ami then returned to the sofa, sat back down and resumed reading. When she finished the book, she looked at her watch. It read 2:45. "Enough time for me to wash up, put on a fresh ensemble and go to Makoto-chan's." she said to herself, before rising from the sofa and walking out of the room.
