I don't want something like that to happen ever again. [It'd be nice if she felt as confident as the words about making sure it doesn't happen again.]

Well, maybe there's something I can do. I know it might seem strange, but I'm actually good at Mnemotherapy. One of the things I've learned to do is make memories able to resurface in dreams if they're forgotten.

[She has to hold back a 'no!' - she's not sure she wants to remember everything.

Except that not knowing was always worse.]

Can you do that - no matter how the memories were lost?

I don't know about memories between here and home. I've never had a chance to try it.

What about if they were missing back in our world?

I suppose its theoretically possible. Why, do you have memory gaps?

[Now that she's said it... Does it really matter anymore? After this long?

Probably not.]

Our world was sort of strange. There were a lot of things we didn't remember from our past lives, and didn't realize right away this time. That's all; I was just thinking.

Your past lives, you mean...when you were Senshi? I...could possibly help with that, but it may not be possible. And it'll be fuzzy at best.

Our memories of the past life aren't the only things I don't remember clearly.

But, I might have been wrong to say that. It might be fine as it is now. [She's somewhere between the curiosity about the past - the need to know just what she's done and what's happened to her - and the desire to move on.]

Its never wrong to question if something is possible, Ami-chan. It may be unwise to pursue the course of action, however.

That's more like what I meant, to start with. All of it was a long time ago now. It wouldn't change anything.

But a part of me wants to know.

We can attempt it, if you want.

Maybe... sometime later. [She has thoughts and feelings about it to sort through before she'd be sure she wants to try.]

Of course.

[He'll just set the offer on the table.]

Ami-chan, I've been wondering what day your birthday is?

My birthday? [Luke, there's only one reason you need to know that, and you don't need to, really.]

September 10th. [Making her a Virgo - hardly surprising.]

Well. I just want to make it memorable.

It will be. As long as I'm with my friends, it will be perfect.

Well, I should still find a good gift for you.

It's alright- there's really nothing I need.

Then I'll just have to try extra hard.

[Luke waves a hand and floats the box across the table to Ami]

I think, however, its time you opened this.

[Almost hesitantly, she nods. She opens it carefully, slipping a fingernail beneath the wrapping to tug it gently loose without ripping. Finally, she has it open and frees the gift from inside.]

[Inside is a familiar looking cylindrical device, molded to fit her hands thanks to measurements Luke took in secret during a training session. The hilt is smooth and well gripped for someone about Ami's size, with soft leather to help avoid calluses]

I hope you like it.

[Ami's eyes widen as she stares into the box.]

It's a lightsaber! [Those same eyes fly to Luke, and after a second, Ami smiles.] Then, you'll have to keep training me.

Thank you.

[Luke nods and beams back at her]

Of course we'll keep training. How does it feel? Is the weight right? I can alter the balance and adjust it, but I think I got the measurements right.

[Ami's eyes never leave the lightsaber as she tests the weight and balance - without activating it, at first. Not here. After a few test movements, she nods.]

You must have planned for this for a long time, to have made it.
