The wind was blowing and the sun was setting behind the Tokyo skyline. The yellow convertible whizzed down the main highway and quickly cut up a side road. Four people sat in the car smiling. After what seemed like forever, a young voice broke the silence. "Haruka-papa! Michiru-mama! I'm hungry!"

Michiru turned around and smiled at the four year old Hotaru who was strapped into her car seat and pulling gently on Setsuna's green hair. "Haruka-papa is driving as fast as she can." she made a scowling face at Haruka, "though I wish she wouldn't."

"Can we please just get home alive Haruka?" Setsuna's voice chimed in. Hotaru clapped and yanked on the tall woman's hair. "Ouch! Oh sweetie, don't pull on Setsuna-mama's hair." She smiled at the nodding little girl.

The car finally arrived at the mansion and slowly pulled into the garage. "Ok, everyone carries all that they can." The blonde quickly took Hotaru out of her seat. "Well, it seems I have reached my limit." She winked and took the happy girl into the house.

Setsuna sweatdropped as Michiru pulsed and started to turn red. "I'm going to kill her tonight."

Setsuna opened the trunk. "Oh Michiru, don't you want at least one night without Hotaru running in?"

Michiru blushed. "It's not Hotaru's fault that she thinks we are killing each other. We can get quite noisy. Besides, we never get far enough for her to see anything too serious."

"That's depressing…"

"I wouldn't talk if I were you! It's not like you've gotten any in the past millennia or so." The aqua haired girl giggled and walked into the house.

Setsuna stood there slightly shocked. Only slightly because she knew it was true. She had been standing in front of that dam gate for millennia without love. "I'm such a loser." She summoned a small rain cloud to follow her in the house.

Hotaru giggled when a wet haired, cloud carrying time senshi walked into the living room. "Sets, please don't get the new carpet wet." said Michiru who was busy scolding Haruka.

"Michiru, I was just kidding!" Haruka and Michiru were throwing excuses and insults at each other for at least twenty minutes.

"You, Haruka Tenoh, are sleeping on the couch tonight!" Haruka sat shocked then looked down and decided not to argue.

Hotaru sat staring. "Setsuna-mama, is Haruka-papa going to leave?" The three of them looked over at the little girl and then at each other apologetically.

"Oh Hotaru…" Setsuna walked over and sat next to her. "Haruka-papa wouldn't think of leaving. She loves us all very much." She smiled at the small girl and got a tearing eye back.

"Hotaru," the senshi of sky walked over and bent down to her adopted daughter's height. "I will never leave; no matter what happens." She took the girls face in her hands and gave her a playful kiss on the nose. Then she wiped her tears away. "Why don't you go get ready for bed? We'll be up in a minute to say good night."

"Ok!" The black haired girl jumped off the couch and ran upstairs to her room.

The blonde stood up, sat down next to Setsuna, and hung her head. Michiru walked over to apologize but Haruka saw her and walked away. Michiru felts tears pushing through. "Where are you going?" Her voice choked and Haruka turned her head.

She kept her gaze to the wall. "I'm getting a blanket." She walked out leaving Michiru feeling completely regretful.

Setsuna stood up and put her hand on the smaller girl's shoulder and felt her shake under the touch. "She just needs some time. Everything will be ok in the morning." The taller woman walked out and went upstairs to say goodnight to Hotaru.

Michiru stood there crying silently waiting for Haruka to walk back in with the blanket. After standing there for a while, she decided to just go upstairs. "She probably doesn't want to talk to me anyway." She walked up to Hotaru's bedroom and saw Haruka so she stood outside the door and listened.

"Haruka-papa, is Michiru-mama mad at you?"

"I think so."

"Oh…..why?"

Haruka looked up, "I'm not sure sweetie. I think it was something I did."

"Papa, it's always something you did." She giggled then started to laugh when Haruka stood up and started making monster noises and tickling her.

Michiru smiled and walked back into her bedroom waiting for Haruka to walk by the door. The heard footsteps and called to the blonde, "H…Haruka!" She started to tear when her lover stopped but didn't look up at her. "Why don't you come to…?"

"Goodnight Michiru." Haruka spoke with a cold but hurt tone and walked away without looking at her.

Michiru sat in bed crying and hugging Haruka's pillow. "I'm so sorry Ruka." She finally cried herself to sleep.

Haruka sat on the steps crying silently listening to Michiru. She stood up and whispered, "I'm sorry too Michi." She walked down and lay on the couch falling asleep.

Setsuna emerged from her bedroom and walked into the couple's room to check on Michiru. She was curled up in a ball hugging a pillow that had a wet spot from her tears. She gave the aqua haired girl a kiss on her forehead and headed downstairs.

Haruka was laying there alert. Her eyes were closed and she knew someone was there but didn't know who.

"Haruka, she needs you." Setsuna sat next to the blonde. "I know you're awake and you know I'm right." She pushed the younger senshi onto the floor and she landed with a thud.

Mumbled sounds came from the carpeted floor.

"I can't hear you Haruka." Setsuna said rolling her eyes.

She got up off the floor. "I said that you didn't have to push me." She started to walk away leaving a smiling time guardian behind to bask in her ability to keep those two together.

Haruka stood outside the bedroom door staring at the seemingly sleeping Michiru. The taller girl walked in and stopped when her girlfriend lifted her head and got up. Michiru walked to Haruka and embraced her warmly, crying a little.

Haruka wrapped her arms around the smaller girl. "It's ok Michi." They walked to the bed and laid down holding each other. "Goodnight my love." Haruka held the aqua haired beauty and kissed her on those perfect lips.

Michiru smiles and rested her head on Haruka's chest. All she wanted was to hear the beating of her lover's heart. "Night my Ruka." They fell asleep together smiling.
