The next morning Michiru rolled over and gazed into her lovers sleeping face. She kissed her forehead and snuggled against her. Haruka moaned a little and wrapped her arms around Michiru unconsciously. Michiru just sat there enjoying the warm body next to her, instead of the cold bed she had been sleeping in while Haruka's mother was in town. Thinking that she looked at the clock. It was only 9:30, but she still had to get out of bed and go wake the girls. Silently as she could she slipped from Harukas arms and found her clothes and got dressed. She slipped out of the room as silently as possable as Haruka rolled over and moaned a little for Michiru to come back to bed. She thought about it for a moment and went back into the room and took off her shirt and rolled back into the bed with Haruka.





Down stairs everyone was getting up and straitening the couches and folding the blankets and started packing up their stuff. Everyone was still in their night clothes, but they were all awake, even if they looked like they had just rolled out of bed, with hair in every direction, and rumpled clothes. Usagi was struggling with the waking up after a late night and a busy day, wile Rei kept poking her when she looked like she was about to give out.

After a little wile Makoto went upstairs and politely knocked on Haruka and Michiru's door, instead of the awakening everyone was hoping for. "Hey, You two. Everyone's getting ready to go, wake up!"

"Go away, we're.. Sleeping" Harukas voice came from the other side of the door, followed by Michiru's soft laughter.

"Shut up, Haruka. We'll be up in a bit" Michiru said.

Mako just laughed and walked back down stairs. After about ten minutes Michiru camedown stairs already dressed for the day, wearing a pretty blue dress, her hair up in a ponytail.

"Morning all." she said to everyone. By now everyone had changed into their clothes and their bags were set up in the living room. "Haruka will be down in a bit, she's trying to figure out what she wants to wear to face her mother today. She's really dreading this."

"I can tell," Usagi said. "I can feel her nervousness all the way down here."

"Come, love, we need to get all of our things into the car." Mamoru said to her, handing her a small bag wile taking a bigger bag for himself. She leand over to him and gave him a small kiss.

"Come on," she said walking toward the door.

"Did I miss anything?" Haruka asked coming down the stairs. She was wearing a pair of black pants and a white button up shirt with the sleves rolled, simple, but it made the point of looking like a guy. She jumped the last couple of steps and looked around at all the stuff in need of being in the car.

"You can carry some of the bags the girls brought." Michiru said.

"Why so many though? You guys only stayed for two nights, and we were swimming most of the time."

"You know girls can't pack light," Mamoru said dodging out the door. Every one groaned at the bad joke and picked up some stuff to go in the car. By the time everything was in the car and everyone was ready the clock was chiming noon. Everyone listened to the chimes, all twelve of them.

Haruka laughed nervously. "What are we so scared of? It's not like going up against Galaxia or any one like that."

Everyone else agreed and laughed a little, they were all nervous. The all knew it would be hard to tell their parents anything like that. Everyone said their goodbye's and climbed into the car. Mamoru gave Haruka a nice firm handshake that was meant to give her strength... it's a guy thing. They pulled out of the driveway and left down the road to the west.

"Michiru, are you sure your going to be ok with talking to my mother about this kind of thing?" Haruka said putting her arms around her waist and turning toward the sea. Big dark clouds rolled in the distance.

"I'll be fine as long as were together." Lightening struck the water somewhere in the distance. "Doesn't this seem like a warning to the metaphorical storm about to erupt in our own home?"

"Yes, but we'll be using the lightening. She will not have the upper hand at anytime." She said as she kissed Michiru on the cheek. The walked back into the house and began waiting for the inevitable knock on the door when Haruka's mother would be there.
