"Michiru-Mama? Do you need any help with anything?"
Sora asked from the doorway, hands stuffed deep into her pockets as she casted a glance over at Haruka who had been staring at her for the last three minutes or so.
"No...I'm just packing necessities Sora." Michiru replied, her voice distant and cold-much colder than Sora had ever heard directed at her.
"Okay...well if you need anything Umiko and I will be downstairs."
Haruka watched as they left and sighed, turning toward Michiru.
"Is it just me or does Sora act weird?" Haruka asked, earning an eye roll from her lover.
"Ruka, Sora literally acts as passive aggressive as you did when we were still in school….She's just less emotional about it." Michiru retorted, continuing to pack the duffle bag that lay on the bed.
"So you really think that those are our kids? Doesn't the story seem kinda fishy?"
Haruka retorted, earning a scoff.
"Haruka, you saw that what we would told about Ami was right. Now stop being Paranoid, it's not good for your blood pressure."
Meanwhile downstairs Sora sat beside Setsuna, watching as Hotaru and Umiko played.
"So you don't have complete control of your powers yet?" she whispered to Setsuna who shook her head.
"No. Why?" She asked, earning a cheeky grin that clearly spelt out trouble.
"No reason."
"uh-huh….Why don't I believe that?"
Setsuna retorted, returning her attention back to the sketch pad that lay on her lap.
"Whoa, did you draw that? Are you a designer?"
Sora asked, causing the time guardian to blush slightly.
"Yes and yes." setsuna replied, watching the girl's eyes widen.
"Oh wow, you're really good." Sora commented just as Haruka walked downstairs.
"Hey, can one of you two give me a hand?" She called, struggling to hall down a heavy looking suitcase.
"I see Mama still packs light." Sora commented, standing up to go help.
"Light isn't the word I would use but I can't use the word I'm thinking of in front of young ears." Haruka grumbled, earning a chuckle.
'Here, I'll get the door then help lug the other end."
Setsuna laughed at the two, both who were grumbling as they left the house.
"Where are we going Setsuna-Mama?" Hotaru asked, catching the time guardian off guard by the title.
"We're taking a weekend away so Michiru and Ami can spend time together." Setsuna answered.
"Is Sora and Umiko coming too?!" Hotaru asked, earning a laugh.
"Of course." Setsuna replied just as Michiru came downstairs.
Umiko ran over to her, hugging her tightly and catching her off guard so much that she froze.
"I'm sorry Mama." the young girl whispered, earning a confused look.
"For what?" Michiru asked, slowly putting an arm around her.
"That you're having a bad day."
Haruka who had just walked in, just in time to see this and smiled, letting her suspicions drop for at least now.
"I guess I do have a bigger family than I thought."
She commented, glancing over at Sora who smiled shyly back.
