Ami: "What a jerk!"
Zach: "What a crybaby!"
~*~ Part II, Chapter 1 ~*~
Zach: "Is that hot girl...Mizuno-Anderson?! It is! ACK!!! I'm now emotionally scarred! But wait...such nice legs this specimen possesses..."
Ami: "And you haven't changed, you immature pervert! Grow up!"

~*~ Part II, Chapter 2 ~*~
Nevan: "I think you should give him a chance, Ames. I mean, look at Mina and Kun and Rei and Jade. We'll disregard the fact that this is completely irrelevant. *ahem* He's not really that creepy once you get to know him...I promise!"
Ami: "Right...okay."
Zach: "Hey there, pretty lady. Wanna dance?"
Ami: "What do you think?! NO!! I'm not going to dance with you–ever–because you are completely and utterly beneath me with your juvenile behavior!"
‘P.S. I resent it when people who criticize me two hours earlier just walk up and ask me to dance. Am I the only one that sees anything wrong with this picture?'
Zach: "Ouch. That stings. New Year's...Mid-summer's...resolution: must reform self."
~*~ Part III, Chapter 1 ~*~
Ami: "Yes! I'm coming home to be nice and safe and rested! But of course, we know this can't happen and that I really am jealous of Rei (and Jaden)."
Parents: "By the way, Ami, we're going to Zach's house. Won't that be so much fun?"
Ami: *defeated sigh* "I knew it."
Rei: "By the way, I broke up with Jade again–but this time it's a big issue, really!"
Mom: "And if that isn't enough...I'd like you to meet Zach and get married and have pretty grandchildren!" *wink wink, nudge nudge*
Ami: "Just shoot me now." *yanks hand away from Zach* "Behave, you!"
~*~ Part III, Chapter 2 ~*~
Zach: "Let me be a charming seducer. P.S. –> get this! I'm devious and slick and did I mention charming yet? oh, I did? Damn. Anyway, being the sly and evil person that I am, I'm going to suggest that this ball thing coming up (because there has to be a ball) be made a couples' thing. What do you think?" *engaging smile*
Ami: "I need to hide in the bathroom. Excuse me. Oh no! He's different now! I just can't resist! Oh, wait, I can, I can!! –> this just proves that I really have split personalities, but because only the shy girl and the ice princess exist, it can't be categorized as MPD–or can it?" ^.~
Zach: "Feel free to use the pool. And I really want to kiss you now, but this happening so soon would be detrimental to the plotline."
~*~ Part III, Chapter 3 ~*~
Mom: "So nice of you to show up for dinner... *smirk* We thought you might be ‘occupied' all night."
Zach: "..."
Ami: *hides in mortification*
Mom: "Right. We believe you."
Zach: "Uh...I can play the piano, watch me! Impressive, eh?" ^.~
Rei: "Pst...Ami! You were secretly wishing that I was Zach, sneaking into your room, weren't you?"
Ami: "Hey, you said it; I didn't. So he's not for me, right? I thought so. And he's not a research specimen, either? Then use could he possibly serve? Wow, he sounds so boring!"
Jaden: *splash* "Oh, sorry Ames. Didn't see you there." ;)
Ami: "Uh huh. Sure. Because Mina was unfortunately kicked out a few chapters back due to lack of foresight and too many characters crowding in, I shall now attempt to play her. *ahem* *drones* You must make up with Rei...it is your destiny."
Jade: *whines* "Do I have to?"
Ami: "Yes. Come on, Jade, be a man!"
Jade: "Okay then."
Ami: "I'll be leaving now."
*crash*
Ami: ‘Enter klutz. I mean, oh my, Zach!!" *dreamy eyes*
Zach: "*ahem* good morning. Er, Good Morning. Good morning." ‘When am I ever going to get it right?!!"
~*~ Part III, Chapter 4 ~*~
Ami: "The shower is so soothing...and I feel so sad. Why does he always have to be a jerk? But the up side is: Zach is now my mortal enemy! That vile villain, he shall not tricketh me with his paltry...tricks?"
Zach: "Basically, I like Ami because I think she's scary (that's what it boils down to, anyway). And hot, of course. Can't forget that. I mean, who cares about brains?"
Ami: "I do!! Hey...wow, that girl is really pretty."
Rei: "Oh, that's meatball head, who we all love for no reason whatsoever. I mean, we adore her because she's perfect, and everyone knows we all love perfect people...or not."
Ami: "That's nice. So are they dating or what? Because that's all I want to know, of course."
Rei: "HAHAHA!"
Ami: "Well, that answered my question well."
Rei: "Let's throw in Darien for good measure."
Ami: "Okay. Oh no, Zach's coming down the hall with Lita, who I haven't met yet!"
Melissa: "I am Melissa, and in my opinion, I am a very important person. So where do you go for your facials?"
Ami: "In your face! *cough* I mean...facials? Never heard of ‘em." ;)
*rampant jealousy*
*girly gossip*
Girls: "Wow, don't you find it disturbing that Rei and Ami, who are cousins, are dating (or apparently going to date and then marry) Jade and Zach, who are brothers? Are you sure there's no in-breeding involved there? It sounds messy."
Ami: "Hm. I didn't consider this issue before."
Zach: "Ta da! You're such an eavesdropper, Ames; you forgot that I was coming your way! ;) Oh, by the way, I dropped Lita off somewhere. Should I introduce her next chapter?"
Ami: "Given a choice between you and Melissa...I'll take Melissa–I mean, hi Zach! I am now caught between an internal debate: do I be nice to you because I want to get out of here and away from those girls, or do I ignore you so they won't think that something's going on between us?"
To be continued in Chapter 5...
