I went on patrol later that day, and balked at the time. The moon was high in the sky, and from a clock flashing from an apartment window I could see, it was almost midnight. In one hand, I held my Deep Aqua Mirror, and the other was clutching Uranus' transformation pen tight. I was going to see Haruka, if she was on her roof then we'd talk, if not...well then I'd missed my chance. I lept across the buildings and came to a halt when I saw Haruka. She was sitting at the table, her eyes trained to the floor. I took a deep breath and landed on the railing with a soft ding. Haruka's head snapped up. Her eyes were red, and I could see the tear stains down her cheeks. She had changed into a more feminine outfit, and I had to admit, she still looked gorgeous. She was wearing a white dress and a brown vest with matching boots and a purple bandana tied around her neck. "Umi?" She breathed.

"Hi." I greeted softly. Haruka shot to her feet as I stepped down onto the roof, cancelling my transformation, leaving me in my pale blue sundress with white, heeled sandals and matching belt. I was still holding my Deep Aqua Mirror in one hand, Uranus' Transformation Pen in the other, and then my own in my pocket.

"You're here! I-I didn't think you'd come after…" I looked away.

"It was my fault. I...I had no idea who were...who you are to me, and realising that my Uranus was right in front of me this entire time and I didn't see it?" I gave a hollow laugh. "Tasked with protecting the Galaxy and my powers of perception are severely lacking."

"I...I'm Uranus, right?" Haruka questioned. I looked up at her and nodded.

"I believe so, yes."

"It feels right." Haruka pushed her hair out of her eyes. "I...yes...I am Uranus." I lifted Uranus' transformation pen, holding it out to her.

"This is yours." Haruka reached out and took it, cradling it gently. "I know I kind of jumped into my duties as a Garduian, but you know how my father is, I had no choice, I needed an escape, and returning to Neptune was my release. I had a long, long debate with myself about giving you your Transformation Pen, because on one hand, I wanted my Uranus back, but on the other, you have your own life as Haruka. I don't want you to feel pressured in any way to transform, because when you do, you will regain your memories again, and…" I looked awy again. "Our lives weren't all that exciting as Guardians." Haruka put her pen down, and reached out and taking my hands in her own. My breath caught in my throat.

"If transforming means remembering you, then yes." Haruka stated. "You're amazing, Umi, as both yourself and Neptune. If...if having to be a protector for humanity means loving you." Haruka pinched my chin with her thumb and forfinger. "I'd do it a thousand times over." I gave a watery smile. Haruka gently pulled my face closer others, her eyes falling shut. My eyelids fluttered close as our lips met. My hand reached up and cupped Haruka's cheek as we shared a tender kiss. We Seperated soon and shared a loving loo. We stepepd away from each other, and Haruka lifted her Transormation Pen into my line of vision. "So, how is this done?"

"Just follow my lead." I held up my own Transformation Pen. "Neptune Planet Power!" I shouted.

"Uranus Planet Power!" Haruka echoed.

"Make UP!"

"Make UP!" Water started to surround me, wrapping around my legs, arms and torso to create my pale blue heeled pointed pumps, with a strap that wrapped around my calves and stopped just under my knees, my white gloves that stopped midway past my forearms, with a pale blue cuff. My skirt appeared on the main body of my suit, it was a pale teal that matched the cape that appeared on my shoulders. A pale blue bow appeared at the back of my skirt, and one on my chest that was held together by a pale teal broach. My necklace was a strip of teal fabric with a clamshell resting on the front. Neptune's planetary symbol appeared on my forehead, which turned into my tiara, which was mainly gold with a pale teal gem in its centre.

The air picked up around us as Uranus transformed. It wrapped around her legs, arms and torso to create dark blue ankle boots, white gloves that covered her wrists with a dark blue cuff and the main piece of uniform. Her skirt appeared on the main body of my suit, it was a dark that matched the cape that appeared on her shoulders. A dark blue bow appeared at the back of her skirt, and a yellow bow on her chest that was held together by a dark blue bead. Her necklace was a strip of dark fabric. Uranus' planetary symbol appeared on Haruka's forehead, which turned into her tiara, which was mainly gold with a dark blue gem in its centre.

When our transformations were over, I smiled. Uranus stood in front of me, inspecting her outfit. "Your back." I said happily.

"I guess I am." Uranus replied. I threw myself at Uranus, wrapping my arms around her neck and holding her tight. I let her go before taking her hand,

"Come on, there's something I want to show you." I lead Uranus to the edge of the railing. I let go of her hand and hoisted myself onto the railing. Uranus pulled herself up next to me. "Don't worry about falling, your instincts and reflexes from your past life will come to you when you need them." I tensed and lept off the building, turning my head to the side slightly, I could see Uranus following. I laughed happily. I lead Uranus to Tokyo Tower, scaling the building with ease. We stood at the top of the building, surveying Tokyo in all it's glory. "How does it feel? Being...you again."

"I'm not sure." Uranus admitted. "This whole thing feels familiar, but I don't have the memories just yet."

"Those will come to you in time." Uranus opened her mouth to say something, however was interrupted by a clap of thunder. We looked up and saw a black cloud form over the sky, I saw something fall from the clouds and descend into Tokyo. My eyes narrowed and then widened when I heard a scream.

"Let's go!" Uranus ordered, leaping off the building. I smiled, she was coming back to me bit by bit. I followed her off the Tower and over buildings. We came across a weird monster in the middle of the up and coming Sankakusu district, a horrid creature made of purple and black with glowing red eyes.

"What is that thing?" I wondered as I recoiled in disgust.

"I don't know." Uranus replied. "But it's clearly not from Earth. My Magical Tool!" Uranus shouted, waving her hand in the air, causing her Space Sword to appear. She grabbed it, "My Talisman! Show my power, and protect me!" Uranus lifted her sword into the air, "Space Sword Blaster!" At the tip of Uranus' sword, an orange ball of energy formed with a blue ring around it. She threw it forward. As it sped towards the monster, it split into many smaller versions of it. Those became crescent-shaped and slammed into the creature, and they destroyed it with ease. When the smoke cleared, I stepped up next to Uranus.

"That was surprisingly easy." I commented.

"Yeah, too easy." We watched as a small egg dispersed into nothing. "If this is a new enemy we need to keep an eye out."

"I agree." I turned to Uranus with a smile. "Now that we're together again, how about walking to school with me from now on." I draped my arms around Uranus' shoulders.

"What about that boyfriend of yours." Uranus wondered, her arms siding around my waist and pulling me flush against her. I played with the little hairs at the base of her neck.

"He doesn't really matter, does he? Dad may lose the merger but...he can deal with it. Now that I've found you again, I want to make the most of it. I want to remember our lives but I also want to learn about this new person I've already fallen in love with. Do you...want that with me?"

"Like you even have to ask." Haruka muttered before leaning down and kissing me. I smiled into the kiss, pulling her closer.
