YES YES YES SCORE FOR THE HOME TEAM!!!!! Ok I'm done
Later on the beach, everyone was lying out on their towels in the soft sand, watching the waves roll in. Some one brought a small radio and they were listening to one of Michiru and Haruka's duet CD's. The music went perfectly with the rolling waves and the sun which was hanging low in the sky. Haruka's mother had come out and set up a small chair and sat out with them and chatted delightfully with Serena about their plans for marriage and Rei about her views on the environment.
"Well I think that we're old enough and we love each other enough that we should be able to get married, but my father doesn't think so." Serena said holding on to Mamoru's hand.
"I agree dear. Young love is the best kind of love, you should be able to hang on to that love. Even if it doesn't last."
"Oh I think this love will last for longer than I think we all can imagine." Lita said. Rei nudged her with a warning elbow. Haruka's mother seemed to not notice.
"I just wish Haruka would find some one to settle down with and start a family." Mrs. Tenoh sighed and looked out into the sea where Haruka and Michiru were swimming around.
"Oh, I think she'll find some one, some day." Mina said looking out into the ocean.
Ami ran up to them and knelt down on her towel, she had been out in the water talking with Haruka and Michiru and swimming in the water she so loved. "The water's so nice, you guys need to come out there with us," she said running a hand through her wet hair.
Usagi nodded and grabbed Mamoru's hand. "Let's go," she said looking at everyone. "We all need a short swim."
Everyone got up and dusted themselves off and waved to Haruka's mother. They all laughed and splashed around as they jumped into the waves. They swam out to the point where Haruka and Michiru were and started to play around. As the splashing and playing continued Usagi said that it would be a fun idea to play Chicken. Usagi climbed up on Mamoru's shoulders, Michiru up on Haruka's shoulders, Ami up on Makato's shoulders and Minako on Reid's shoulders. Minako and Ami went down first, leaving Michiru vs. Usagi. Haruka and Mamoru tried to push each other over as the girls on top tried to push each other off their respective shoulders. Haruka gave Mamoru a push at the same time as Michiru giving Usagi a push and that couple went down. Michiru and Haruka hopped up and down in the water in triumph. They soon lost their balance and fell over in the water. They came up together, their arms around each other. Everyone was splashing around and playing so no one noticed them edging away from everyone else into the deeper ocean. Michiru curled her legs around Haruka's waist and pulled her tight. The waves gave them cover as they slowly kissed.
In about an hour all beach activities came to a halt and everyone went inside to get a shower and change for the normal "sleep-over" activities. Every one gathered in the huge living room and settled down in mounds of blankets and pillows. Their monstrous couch could hold Rei, Makoto and Ami all stretched out and cuddled in their own blankets with Mrs. Tenoh sitting in the La-z-boy with her feet propped up. The TV was playing one of the newest releases and everyone was making comments about this that and the other in the movie, mainly picking fun at it. Pop corn was spread out between everyone and was thrown everyone and a wile during "bad guy" scenes and when the girl went to the wrong guy. Mrs. Tenoh would laugh lightly with the girls and joke lightly with them.
One movie included a rather interesting sub character who just happened to be a lesbian. Everyone joked around like it was nothing, but Haruka's mother just got one of those looks on her face like she was not amused. Every time something was said about that specific character and her girlfriend Haruka's mother would cringe. Before that movie was over she got up and claimed that she was ready for bed. Wishing everyone a good night she climbed the stairs and walked the hall to her room.
Haruka took a deep breath and let it out slowly after her mothers door shut and clicked into place. "I can not believe her."
"Honey, I think she was just getting tired, nothing bad." Michiru said cuddling up to her.
"Did you see her face?!" she said sitting up. "She was completely disgusted by the idea of anything between two girls."
Everyone sat in relative silence.
"She just will never understand, even though she doesn't know about me she still has trouble with it all." Haruka said standing up and walking into the kitchen wiping her eyes.
An uncomfortable silence settled over the room.
"Um, Michiru?" Usagi said being the only one brave enough to say anything. "Is she going to be ok?"
Michiru swiped her reddening eyes and looked at her. "I'll go talk to her." She stood up and walked to the kitchen, pausing at the door and taking a deep breath she pushed the swinging door open and stepped in. She looked around the kitchen and noticed the door to the outside patio was open. She rushed to it and looked out.
Haruka stood on the rocks at the shore line, letting the moon wash over her skin. The silk tank top and pants she wore fluttered in the wind. Her head tilted back and tears running down her cheeks. Michiru slowly jumped over the railing and walked down the beach toward Haruka. She admired how beautiful Haruka looked in the full moon light.
"Haruka," she started saying slowly.
Haruka turned slowly to her and offered her hand to her. Michiru took her hand and climbed up on the rock with her. They embraced each other and kissed each other lightly. They stood there looking at the moon, holding each other. The waves came up and splashed around them as they slowly took hold of each others hands and climbed down from the rocks. For an hour or so they walked up and down the beach in silence except for small comments on how beautiful the night was or how the moon cast such a romantic shade around the beach. They sat down in the sand and held each other till sleep over came them and they both drifted off into sleep.
Prying eyes came from the Kitchen as the girls peeped at the two lovers outside on the beach. Mamoru managed to pry them away from the "romantic moment" and tell them that they should leave Haruka and Michiru to their privacy. They all cleaned up the living room and made their way upstairs and into bed.
Prying eyes came from the upstairs window of Haruka's mothers room. She watched until they climbed from the rock and walked down the beach. The curtains closed and the light on the bed side table went out.
He he he he he, I bet you can't figure out what happens next.... I bet I can't either.... damnit
