"Good morning gentleman" Haruka said as she walked towards her friends, it was tradition for them to meet every Saturday morning at the gym where they'd work out together.

"What the hell's wrong with you?" ever the subtle Spike asked from his spot in the flat bench, where he was lifting weight, as it was not a custom for Haruka to be this happy at 8 am in the morning.

"Are you high? Or still drunk?" Akira asked from the hyper extension bench where he was doing sit ups.

"Do I need to be high or drunk to be happy?" Haruka asked frowning as she began to stretch.

"Well is the first time we see you this content this early" Darien said from the treadmill "last time you were this happy at this, I quote from you 'ungodly hour' was when you got in with Ferrari"

"What happened now to have you so happy?" Akira asked, looking at her blond friend who was getting on the exercise bike.

"Well…since I feel so good today and I don't want you guys to burn your last usable neuron I'll tell you" Haruka stopped pedaling and l...looked at her friends smirking "I went out on a date yesterday"

"You went on a date last night…a date as in not only fucked her brainless?" Spike asked stopping his exercise as well.

"Yes, in fact, we didn't even have sex" she said and all her friends stared at her as if she had three heads.

"…So not even a kiss?" Spike asked they had long finish exercising and were now having lunch in a restaurant nearby the gym.

"For the hundredth time no, not even a kiss, we hugged and held hands but that was it" Haruka said exasperated al ready after spending all her morning explaining to her friends what had happened at her date with Michiru.

"She must be very special then" Darien said smiling at his friend.

"She is" Haruka agreed smiling.

"Are you going out again?" Spike asked.

"Well she did say she'd like to have a second date but I don't know where or when yet" the blonde said sighing and her friends exchanged worried looks.

"Why don't you ask her to the ball my dad's throwing?"

"I don't think so, I mean the crowd and…" the blonde began.

"This year is different; his campaign right now is aiming to young people or whatever, is more private and not as boring is this Friday, all of you were in the list already but I can add her too, Michiru Kaioh you said was her name right?" Akira said.

"Sure man thanks" she said bumping fist with the redhead "I'll call her later with the details, but I have to go now, one doesn't win races by sitting around all day, ja ne"

"She's going to kill us once she finds out we are doing this" Akira said as he looked everywhere in search for his blonde friend.

"That's why she doesn't have to find out" Spike said as he pulled out his celphone and dialed the familiar number "Is Spike, listen I need you to do me a favor, I'll send you the pic and the details" Spike hung up and looked at his friend smiling "I didn't do this while Darien was here cause he'd have agreed, we are in a code red my friend, we need to make sure our friend is in good hands" Akira analyzed his friends words for a couple of seconds before sighing in resignation and nodding.

"Act normal for god's sake" Spike scolded Akira as they entered the restaurant named Io, Akira nodded his head took off his sun glasses and breathed deeply, they both walked to the farthest table and sat down pulling their menus up so it was covering their faces.

"She's here" Akira whispered loudly as he spotted the group of friends walking to a table, Spike smirked and grabbed his mobile.

"Let the fun begins" he said smirk still in place.

Michiru smiled as she took her seat between Amy and Serena, it was Monday so it was unusual for them to be there, but Serena wanted to tell them all about her date with Darien.

"It was amazing and we did all kind of stuff" Serena said exciting.

After a while, since Serena was telling the story minute by minute, move by move she was interrupted by someone.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but aren't you Kaioh Michiru?" she heard someone said from behind her and turned around to find a tall, handsome blonde man standing behind her.

"Yes I am, and you are?" Michiru asked giving him a polite smile.

"A great fan" he said bowing slightly "My name is Kyouhei"

"You!" mina suddenly screamed "you are Kyouhei Takano, the model right?"

"I'm flattered you recognize me" he said smiling "I was wondering miss Kaioh, if you would be so kind as to sit with me and let me buy you a drink"

"I'm sorry I…" Michiru began.

"She would love too" Rei and mina interrupted and pushed Michiru out of her seat and in the arms of the guy, who just smiled and escorted Michiru to another table.

"Would you like anything? Some tea, coffee, wine?" Kyouhei asked as he pulled the chair for Michiru.

"Tea, please" he nodded and called the waitress who gladly took the orders not before giving the handsome blonde a lustful look.

"So, miss Kaioh what does a person with so much talent do in her free time?" he broke the silence after they spent a couple of moments in an awkward silence. Michiru asked all the questions he asked but he spent 15 minutes of the 20 minutes together speaking about him and his career, after that Michiru politely excused herself went to say goodbye to her friends and left the restaurant.

"So… how did it go?" asked an eager Spike taking the seat Michiru had just left a couple of seconds ago.

"I don't know what's wrong with her" he said, confusion written all over his beautiful face "she's a tough one, I mean, she wasn't interested at all, I actually had to try and I'm Kyouhei Takano, I never try"

"Maybe, she just really likes Haruka" Akira opined.

"Mhm maybe" Spike said and patted the defeated blonde on his back before he stood up and walked towards the parking lot with Akira walking by his side.

"Aren't you guys going to tell me how I did on my trial?" they heard a melodic sweet voice from behind them and turned to came face to face with aqua haired goddess.

"Miss Kaioh…" Akira began.

"Michiru" she cut off the redhead "So how did it go?"

"Look, don't take it personal ok? We just worry about our friend" Spike said "you're the first girl she actually dates and I'd hate to see my friend, someone with such a great heart, who is like a brother…sister whatever to me, get her heart broken, she doesn't deserve it"

"I understand, but is not a big deal yet we had had only one date…"

"When it comes to Haruka talking about one date is a big deal" Spike cut her off.

"I like her, she's a great girl, I'll do my best to keep her from suffering but I can't make any promise in the long run" Michiru said serious.

"That's all we ask for" Akira said taking Spike by his arm "Sorry for what happened over there" he signaled towards the restaurant with his head "and please don't tell anything to Haruka" he added bowing a little bit before dragging Spike towards the car.

Michiru got out of the car and smiled at the tall figure leaning against a yellow car in her driveway.

"Oh my, this day has been full of surprises"

"Good ones I hope" the blonde said as she walked towards Michiru.

"Well…this one is" she smiled flirtatiously and was about to stand on the tip of her toes to kiss the blonde's cheeks when she notice Haruka was looking at her with an eyebrow raised "Wha…Oh, thanks Hiro-san, you may leave now" the chauffer made a nodding/bowing motion and left not without throwing a wary glance towards the blonde "He's my chauffer" she said and kissed the blonde's cheek lingering for a bit.

"You owe me something mermaid" Haruka said smiling as she placed her hands on the aqua haired girl's waist

"Ara and what is that?"

"A second date of course" Haruka replied smirking before leaning down to whisper on her ear "and possibly a kiss"

"Oh well" she faked a deep sigh and pushed the blonde apart softly draping her left arm around her stomach and tapping her chin in a 'thinking' pose "I was raised to pay my debts, so I guess I don't have any other option" she teased giving the blonde a soft smile at the end to make sure she knew she was only teasing.

"Well, you know my friend Akira, his dad is throwing a Halloween ball for young enterprising and since we are both on the list, I thought you know we could go together and…" the blonde said nervously.

"Do you know how cute you're when your rumble?" Michiru said and caressed the reddening cheeks of the blonde "and yes I'd love to go to the ball with you" she said and shared a smile with Haruka.

"Come" Haruka said and took Michiru's hand interlacing their fingers while they walked towards the yellow Ferrari, the blonde opened the passenger door and pulled out a big white box and handed it to Michiru.

"Oh my is a bit heavy" Michiru said when the blonde gave her the box which made Haruka chuckle "would you like to come in" she said nodding towards her house.

"Sorry mermaid, I have to go, but I'll be seeing you on Friday" Haruka took the box and walked Michiru to her door waiting for her to open it and get inside before giving her the box back, leaning down to kiss the aqua haired girl's cheeks "I hope you like it" she said and turned to walk towards her car.

"You like it?" Haruka said as she answered the phone.

"Like it? I love it, but what would you have done to the dress if I had said no?" Michiru asked.

"Uhm, didn't contemplate the possibility of you saying no" Haruka joked "but I guess I'd have save it for our wedding day" she said making Michiru giggle "or I could have give it to a girl who would have said yes, of course I'm sure no one would look as beautiful in it as you because really, no one is as beautiful as you"

"You're such a sweet talker" Michiru said "I'm actually dying to see what will be your outfit" she said making the blonde cringe as she imagine herself in a dress similar to Michiru's.

"Nothing like yours that's for sure"

"Thanks for the present Ruka" she said making the blonde blush.

"No need to thank, I assure you I'll enjoy it more" She said chuckling and even though she knew the other girl couldn't see she winked.

"Well then to complement the gift, you'll have to wear something for my enjoyment then"

"I'll do my best"

"I have to go practice, thanks again for the present and remember to wear something for me ok?"

"I will, take care, bye" as the line went dead Haruka couldn't help the big grin that spread over her face at the thought of the aqua haired goddess.

The days passed and before they realized it was Thursday and the girls were at their usual hang out spot.

"Girls! I'm so glad I found you!" Serena said as she busted through the door.

"What's wrong?" Rei asked alarmed.

"I don't know what to wear" she said and her eyes filled with tears, all of them had different reactions Amy and Michiru sighed, Mako rolled her eyes while Mina and Rei face slapped themselves.

"What to wear for what?" asked Amy.

"For a ball that a friend's dad is throwing, he said is very important and I have nothing to wear and I don't to disappoint him and is tomorrow" she said and a few tears started to slide down her cheeks.

"Jeez and you thought about asking for our help until now?" Rei said shaking her head.

"Don't worry Serena, I'm going too, I'll take to the place where I bought my dress"

"You're going?" Michiru asked quite surprised that mina was invited and Amy wasn't though her features remained neutral.

"Yeah I got invited, by one of Darien's friends actually" she added looking at Serena "Spike, the tall guy with black hair, he's Haruka's friend too, the blonde girl from the other day" she said wriggling her eyebrows and Michiru couldn't help but tense at the mention of Haruka's name and the wave of jealousy cursing through her veins, but she also realized that she was going to be at the same ball with no one else than the blonde herself.

"Mina, can I speak with you?" she abruptly said standing up.

"Uhm sure" mina said a little bit throw off by the sudden outburst, both girls stood up and walked away from the table.

"I met someone" Michiru quickly said.

"And…do you want some advice?" mina asked confused since it was taking Michiru too long to make her point.

"No we are already seeing each other… is… is Haruka"

"Oh…" was all Mina said "look Michiru if you're telling me this cause you thought I'd I don't know feel bad or something like that well no, but Haruka is not really the type for settling down"

"The ball is going to be our second date"

"Wow, you… are… dating… her?"

"Yes, after she gave you your stuff that day we met in the music room of the school, we talked and well she asked me on a date"

"Oh my god Michi, I'm so glad, the only thing I got was a 'hey, do you want to get out of her?' and a 'this is nothing but pure sex ok?'" Mina said faking Haruka's deep voice, they giggled together "I don't have a problem with it Michi" she said hugging Michiru's shoulder with her arm "but… I'd have never imagine you swung that way" she said bumping her shoulder softly with the other girl's "do the others know?" she asked and Michiru just shocked her head "well you have to tell them come on" she took Michiru's hand and dragged her back to the table "guys Michiru have something to tell you"

"I…" Michiru began when her friends gave her their full attention.

"She's dating Haruka Tenoh!" she screamed getting the attention of the whole restaurant "sorry" she apologized and sat back down watching in amusement as Michiru was bombarded with questions.

"What do you think?" Spike asked as he inspected his reflection on the mirror and then at the reflection of his friends he was wearing a white military kind of suit "and I've a huge stick" he said wiggling the sword that was attached to his suit.

"I'm sure you need it" Haruka said smirking as she showed him her pinky.

"Ass" he threw the shirt he was previously wearing, Haruka looked at her reflection again, she was wearing a navy blue outfit that looked like it could have belonged to a monarchy of some sort in previous times and smiled, Michiru always looked like a princess and was glad that she herself could pull the looks of a prince.

"Well what do you think?" Darien asked showing them his black tuxedo "the cape is a little bit uncomfortable but looks awesome" he said moving the cape around.

"You should buy it and wear it to your wedding too" Spike said.

"You all look great" Akira said from the seat behind the three mirrors "I wish I could pick my own outfit but father wanted to go sync so all the family is wearing similar outfits"

"I'm sure you'll look great too Akira and you said Azuri's outfit complements yours so, you'll both look great"

"Ok let's get chance now I have to study for a test tomorrow" Darien said.

"Hey Haruka…" Spike began as he was taking off his pants "remember when Darien meet Serena and you introduced her friends to us"

"Yeah" Haruka said as she was absentmindedly taking off her outfit.

"Well the girl you slept with, Minako" he began but moments passed and he didn't continue.

"Yeah, what about her?" Haruka said as she was now getting dressed.

"Would you…mind if I you know… let's supposed I liked her right? And slept with her…and she's the best I've ever been with right? And somehow in the aftermath something happened to my brain and asked her to be my date to the ball…"

"Did you?" asked Haruka serious as she paused midway through buttoning her shirt.

"I'm sorry, we say a girl would never come between us and well I thought that since you're dating someone now it'd be ok, granted I did slept with her before I knew you were dating but it was only one time before and I didn't know you'd mind and…"

"I'm messing with you man, is fine by me" Haruka said patting his shoulder

"You… are… such… a…jerk" Spike said as he combed his hair with his hand since he had been running his hand through his hair during his little speech.

Friday night at 8 o'clock there was a knock on Michiru's door which she answered only to have her breath taken away by the sight of the gorgeously handsome blonde in front of her.

"You look…Wow…you look beyond gorgeous" Haruka whispered as not to break the trance they both were.

"You look incredibly good yourself" Michiru whispered back, after a couple of moments more that were spent checking the other out, their gazes met making them catch their breath while they got lost in each others eyes. neither knew who took the first step, they didn't know if they both got closer or it was just one that closed the space between them and they didn't care, all they knew and all they cared for in that moment was that they were both in each other's arms.
