Setsuna's P.o.V.

I shot up out of my sleeping bag gasping for air. Makoto and Mamoru were the only other ones up. I could sense the anger radiating off of Makoto.

"Who the hell does you're mother think she is?" Mamoru asked. She's fate and destiny all in one. You know what they say "Destiny's a bitch" and "You can't fight fate and win."

"Look forget it it's over now, let's get cleaned up," Seijistu murmured. I turned to look at him on the couch. He seemed...perturbed. Haruka and Michiru moaned and sat up.

"Would someone explain what the heck just happened?" Usagi muttered.

"You just meet your soon to be mother-in-law," Seijistu whispered. Usagi groaned, "Let's just clean up the room," I looked around and noticed that it was still a mess from the food fight. Makoto moved to the kitchen to get the mop, broom, and other cleaning things. Everything was going to be alright. Something told me that was a lie.

Makoto's P.o.V.

"Kino Makoto," I stood up and walked over to the principal. He handed me my diploma and said "congratulation". He probably meant "Thank Kami-sama that she out of here." But that didn't matter. I was going to college! I watched as my friend went and got their diplomas.

"The graduates of 1995 please stand," I stood along with Ami, Rei, Usagi, and Minako. Setsuna, Haruka, Michiru, Seijistu, and little Hotter stood in the front row clapping. I miss you Mamo-chan. I wish you could be here with me. We went outside to the after ceremony. I looked around at all the happy families hugging and kissing their children. Loneliness enveloped me.

"Smile," Haruka said holding her camera to her eye. I forced myself to smile. She lowered her camera.

"What's wrong, Mako-chan?" Michiru asked softly. I turned my head and looked at where Usagi's parents were hugging her and crying.

"Oh my baby's all grown up!" I whirled to just in time to get smothered by Setsuna's hug. She held me in arm's length, "Look how my baby girl grown!" she winked. She was pretending to be my mother. I smiled at her. Setsuna took a handkerchief and dabbed her invisible tears, "They grow so fast," she pretended to cry. Seijistu wrapped his arms around her,

"Don't worry, dear, we'll make more," I burst out laughing at him. Haruka and Michiru were already laughing. Everyone else were staring at us like we were crazy. We probably were. After Setsuna and Seijistu were finished their little drama, we went to get something to eat.

"You guys are crazy," Rei muttered.

"You couldn't expect us not to make a big deal over our little girl," Seijistu said over dramatically. Setsuna took her handkerchief out and pretended to cry again. I started to laugh again.

"Thanks guys," I said after I finished laughing.

"Anytime Mako-chan. We have a present for you."

"You guys have done enough for me already," I started to say but Michiru cut me off.

"Close your eyes," I did as told after a brief hesitation.

I felt someone's breath on my neck, "Karei," Mamo-chan? my eyes shot open. There he was. I threw myself in his arms and kissed him. I felt like I was on fire. We broke apart reluctantly.

"What-how?" he laughed at my confusion.

"I don't know, my boss said I could come back from Italy early. I got to back just in time to see you get your diploma. You looked beautiful."

"I arranged it," Haruka spoke up.

Michiru looked at her, "You never did tell me how you managed to arrange it."

"I promised him that he would live to see tomorrow."

"And if had fired me?"

"He would be missing something very important," Haruka smiled lopsidedly. Seijistu coughed and crossed his legs.
