   Here I am in front of the PC. I have a fresh cup of hot coffee and am   
   about to play the final part of our story. It's been a lot of fun for the   
   past 50 days, I'm going to miss it when it's over.   
      
   Well... one act to go. On with the show.

   I wonder if the also find it strange that this girl and Luna the cat are   
   never in the same room together.

   That suit is HUGE on Ami, the big floppy feet are hilarious!

   Good thing he didn't throw that outfit away after all...   
      
   ... also, he can wear it to the wedding !!!  ^_-

   AGAIN!!!??? I thought they wre supposed to be good now and promised to

   Maybe she can loan her phone to the other girls.

   It was great watching Ami race around in the cab, she evrn put her ID on   
   the dash to make it legit. I wonder why she put her glasses on though?

   LOL, she has to protect her boryguards! That was some kick. I'm   
   impressed... and a bit scared!

   Yea, she only has to fight 2 or 3 and all the rest will fall down too.   
   Now THAT'S impressive. ^_-
