Amy went into her room and pulled the case of solid Dust out from under her bed. She took one of the crystals and some tools to her desk and started to work. She began by chipping away at the diamond, until it was powder. She repeated that step for the other crystals in the case. Amy had neat sorted piles of Dust that were all on their own petri dish. Amy retrieved a box of matches and a lighter. She was about to proceed to the next part, when she suddenly thought about Mouse. Amy never thought that "they" would happen. She noticed that something was up when Mouse (pretty much) asked her out, but ignored the obvious clues. Then, Amy remembered the love in Mouse's eyes when she woke up in the Matrix. Amy sighed.
During this time, she had lit a match without knowing. When she sighed, the match fell into some of the Dust. This caused a minor-ish explosion in front of her.
"Ow! Son of a bitch!" Amy yelled rather loudly upon seeing blood in the back of her hand. Amy quickly left her room and headed toward the bathroom sink. On the way there, Mouse, Tank, and Dozer looked at Amy with confused expressions. She turned on the sink and washed her hands. In place of the blood was a cut across the back of her hand.
"Amy, what happened?" Mouse wondered, full of concern.
"I accidentally dropped a lit match into a pile of Dust," she briefed.
"Does it hurt much?" Mouse continued.
"I've been through worse, so this is nothing I can't handle," Amy stated, drying her hands.
"Wait. What do you mean 'been through worse'?" Mouse pointed out.
"U-uh, it's nothing," Amy tried to close the conversation. Mouse was about to protest, but then, there was a very loud crash from the main room.
