The girls sat in the restaurant making small talk, when Michiru stood up, "I better be getting home".

"NO!" Minako and Usagi stood and said in unison.

"We have barely even had a chance to talk!" Usaigi exclaimed.

"The movers will be here soon with all of our things and I wouldn't want them going into a dusty dirty house." Michiru smiled and rubbed her baby's back. "Plus she must be tired" the baby burped loudly a spit up slightly on Michiru's blouse.

"Please, can we go shopping or something? I would love you to help me with some more Americanized styles!", Minako practically begged.

"I'd love to but, Alexis would be too fussy..." she looked at her daughter and thanked got for the little bundle of joy and excuses.

"We'll watch her!" Exclaimed Rei, "Ami, Makato and I were just saying how much we can't wait to have a baby around to spoil" Michiru looked down as she tried to think of another excuse.

"Okay..." she hesitantly replied as the others cheered in pure delight. Michiru handed her large diaper bag over to the young woman.

"YAY! Let's go!" Usagi grabbed Michiru's arm after Rei had taken hold of little Alexis. "We're going to have so much fun!"

Michiru gave a weak smile as she was dragged with the other girls.

Makato stepped forward after they had landed in Uranus' castle, Miranda, it was a beautiful planet. Dark blue skies, bright colored flowers and beautiful crystal buildings. "How does no one know this is all here? Wasn't this all destroyed during the Silver Millennium?" the princess of Jupiter stood in awe at how many people there were dwelling on this, seem to be lifeless, planet.

"These people aren't... alive?" Haruka tried to think of the word, "They are spirits that are waiting to either be exalted into eternal bliss or reborn again on Earth." She closed her eyes not knowing how to explain. "People, when they pass... they come here, to the Moon, to Saturn or Pluto. They live as though they would have lived on earth, but... not." Haruka smiled. "No one can see them because, they don't exist. Humans can't see past the veil between one life to the next. We can see them because we exist in between the worlds. Created by the god's themselves... we are very different than normal people or just spirits." Haruka started walking, "I can't believe you didn't know that... didn't Pluto teach you anything?" she smirked.

"What about Jupiter?" she asked with a puzzled smile.

Haruka stopped in her tracks and looked at Jupiter, "You've never been to your own planet?" she shook her head. "Jupiter as well as venus and mercury hold all of the spirits who haven't been born yet."

"So this place is like...heaven?"

"Kinda, the Moon is what you'd call heaven, Eternal peace. Here is for the people who can't sit still long enough to be eternally happy..." She spoke before her thought was interrupted by happy horns that carried regal announcements through the crisp air.

"People of Uranus, our Queen has returned!"

"Oh boy..." Haruka shook her head as she noticed all of the people in the streets suddenly dropping to their knees. "I'd better go wave or something..." she ran and stepped out onto an extravagant balcony and waved to the Uranians.

A sound of small dainty footsteps quickly made its way over to Haruka. "Queen Uranus!" a short red haired girl dressed in a short skirt and a gold chest plate caught up with Haruka, a long sword with the symbol of the planet engraved on the handle. "Thank god you came, I wasn't sure if we'd see you again. How's is the princess Alexis? Did Michiru have a difficult birth?"

"They're both great, they're actually with Serenity as we speak." Haruka smiled as her servant attempted to make small talk, "what's wrong Miranda?"

"Well, the titans have awakened and they keep freaking out causing massive quakes."

"Ok, I'll take care of them before I'll go take care of it now." She waved to her servant and headed outside.

"Titans?" Jupiter puzzled," Who are they?"

"They were the children of Uranus and Gaia... They were evil so Zeus sealed them to Pluto, hell, but then when they caused too many problems there, Uranus used his power to keep them sealed here. It took all of his power so his soul just chills and he made the first Sailor Uranus queen. So here I am... yeah, anyway, I just have to put them back to sleep." She grumbled as she climbed up the steep slope of the large hill.

Reaching the top, Haruka pulled out her sword, "I think I may need you to help... I'm not sure..." Makato gulped.

"How evil were these guys?"

"They'd torture people and then eat their souls when they were in despair...Their leader ate all of his babies because he was afraid one of them would kill him." Makato looked at the large seal that laid on the ground, encrusted gold with bright gems, the large symbol of Uranus in the center.

Sailor Uranus lifted her sword as it started to glow with a heavenly light. She closed her eyes "With the powers of Uranus, I, your queen, Condemn you to sleep!" nothing happened. Haruka looked up at her sword "I CONDEMN YOU TO SLEEP, IN THE NAME OF URANUS!" still nothing.

Uranus lifted her sword high, then bringing it down with amazing force, she drove her blade in to the ground breaking the seal. The ground creaked loudly as the earth below them split, leaving a deep, dark cavern. "Are you coming? I'll understand if you don't want to, just make sure Alexis is okay," she said very thick on the dramatics, and laughed as she headed down in to the dark hole. Jupiter shook her head and followed her friend.

Minako dragged Michiru through the vacant mall, which had been closed so pop idol Minako could have her own shopping spree. "Let's go here!" Minako said excitedly as the lead Michiru to a small shop with a tacky window display, "Oooh!" she immediately began to dig through the rack of equally tacky blouses until she found one that caught her eye. She pulled a bright yellow blouse that was cut to length about mid thigh; it was covered in bows with a laced trim, Michiru gave a chuckle as the young idol held the blouse to her small frame. "This is perfect!" she happily gleemed as she glanced in a near by mirror.

"Yeah it's great, brings out your eyes", Michiru forced the compliment passed the onslaught of giggles trying to conquer her lips.

Minako looked at Michiru with a sober look on her face, "This top is hideous, why lie to me?" the blue haired woman looked blankly at Minako.

"I don't know... I just don't want to discourage your tastes?" her eyes looked at the young star with apologetic eyes. "I don't go shopping with girls and..." she mumbled and looked away.

"I'm just teasing you Michiru!" the blonde quickly perked up, still a sharpness apparent in her eyes. "Now let's see what you can pick out, I want you to find me a new wardrobe". Michiru sighed and began looking through the racks of clothes, she liked to shop with Haruka, she was easy to shop with, plus there was always the chance of having a quickie in the dressing room. She giggled to herself as she picked out a dozen t-shirts and plenty of stylish jeans for Minako to try on.

The three girls, tired from the expensive shopping spree, decide to sit at a small coffee shop located in the mall. "Well that was fun", Michiru smiled as she looked down in her coffe, Minako and Usagi looking over a few items that they had purchased.

"So Michiru, all of this time, you haven't said one word about you, I know we are interesting but, I want to hear about you. Haruka always tells me amazing things about you, but I never get to actually talk to you" Usagi smiled looking eagerly at Michiru.

"Like what would you like to know?" Michiru smiled," I'm not that interesting".

"Give us some dirt. Gossip, like... what is Haruka like behind closed doors? What did you guys do in the states? How did you two meet? Stuff like that", Minako chirped.

"Well, I think Haruka would be upset if I just sat and talked about our personal lives...she's surprisingly a shy person, cocky about a lot of things, but mostly just shy...I'm sure she would be extremely uncomfortable if I told the princess how amazing she is in bed." She took a sip of her coffee as Usagi blushed.

"She is?" Minako gasped covering her mouth. "I've always wondered..."

Michiru nodded, "very good". Usagi covered her mouth and tried her best to act mature.

"So how did you two meet?"

"Well, I had a friend introduce me to her, but I had... followed her before then..."she looked up remembering the months stalking Haruka, "I saw her in her first race... I knew I wanted her then. Back then, Haruka was so passionate in sports, especially those that involved speed. I would watch as she would put her heart and soul in to every race, determined to win," she laughed slightly, reminiscing how badly she had it for her car racer. "After that, I couldn't get enough of her. I would follow her and try to know every little thing that made her tick. I didn't actually approach her till about... a week after I had found out that she was sailor Uranus... and then... she was so afraid of her destiny, she hurried and shut me out in every way she could. One day though, it changed and I haven't left her side ever since. Although, she didn't confess her feelings to me until after the talismans were revealed." She smiled and took another sip of her coffee.

"How did she say it?" Usagi asked, anticipating the juicy details.

Michiru looked up smiling as the memories rushed in her head like a beautiful wave, "Say what? That she loved me?" The younger girls nodded "well we had just gotten home from the marine cathedral and we decided to go and rest, I was in a great amount of pain as Haruka was also. I had barely fallen asleep when I was woken up by uncontrollable sobs, surprised when I realized they weren't from me, but from Ruka. She was sitting on the floor in front of the window with her head buried between her knees. I was shocked. I had never seen Ruka shed a tear, let alone full out bawling.

I rushed to her side and wrapped my arms around her; I knew that it wasn't physical pain she was feeling. Her thoughts were screaming in turmoil in my head. Fear... loss and regret ran rampant in her eyes. She clung tightly on to me as though she never wanted to let go..." Michiru closed her eyes and reenacted the moment, "she began to calm down and she looked at me and told me 'Michiru, I know that... how I feel for you is wrong. I know I can't let this get in the way of our mission, but... I haven't slept in so long. When I do, I dream that I'm drowning in the endless sea and I can hear your voice, calling me to the shore...when I saw you die, I was lost at sea. I had no more reason to live. With out you Michi... I'm... there's no reason for me to live... I... guess what I'm saying is...I...'" Michiru looked at the other girls who were engulfed in the story. "Before she could tell me what I had been dying to hear for so long, I held her face and I kissed her. I told her how I had loved her since the first time I had seen her. How I felt her pain when I saw what her father did to her and how her mother ignored her...how she had been all I had thought about for so long... I let it all out... and I made love to her right there on the floor..." she blushed as the young girl's jaws dropped, quickly she took a big gulp of her coffee.

"Oh my... that's beautiful. Haruka let you see her all vulnerable...she broke down...beautiful." Minako battered her eyes as she thought of the strong senshi holding her tight.

"Just don't let her know that I told you she cried... She would kill me." Michiru laughed nervously and the other girls joined in.

The girls continued to chat away, their infatuations with Haruka made for very juicy conversation.
