"Haruka?"
"So, explain to me why they couldn't arrest you."
"I was only accused, and no evidence was brought forth, because I signed no paper or anything to clarify that I even knew him."
"I'm glad, Haruka."
"Me too."
"How much time do we have until the court date?"
"A week."
Michiru nodded and cuddled closer to the couch cushions. The letter from the police was in her hand, and Haruka watched her as she read it a few times.
It was the night after Haruka had recieved the letter. The worry that clouded Michiru's eyes that day worried the blonde more than anything.
Haruka sat in the hot tub on Michiru's large porch that same night. It relaxed her muscles, but did little for her thoughts.
Michiru joined her a few minutes later in an aqua bathing suit that made Haruka stare at her. She remembered the question she had wanted to ask the smaller woman a while ago. "Michiru?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you warm up to me so quickly?"
"I don't think I ever really hated you from the start. Plus, I felt sorry for you. William was a big jerk when I knew him. He whined if he didn't get his way. Spoiled brat."
"Ever love him?"
"Once. Then he tried to make me be someone so perfect."
"Aren't you already?"
"Very funny."
Haruka smiled and nodded. "Michi?"
Michiru had closed her eyes and slumped down up to her chin in the water. "Yes?"
"Are you seeing anyone?"
The aqua haired woman's eyes opened and she looked at the blonde. Was that a hopeful or curious question? "Oh. No. I haven't found the right person yet."
"And what would this ideal person be like?"
She thought for a moment before responding. "They'd have to be sweet, nice, with a sense of humor. ..And they'd have to be cuddly."
Haruka blushed and smiled. "What about your ideal person, Haruka?"
"Someone who's sweet, willing to help you, and beautiful in the mind and body. Though I already have my eyes on someone."
Michiru's heart sank a little. "Oh."
It was around midnight the night after that Michiru awoke to hear a dull thud. She stirred and sat up, making Haruka grunt.
The aqua haired woman climbed out of bed and carefully went downstairs. Another thud was heard and a deep voiced curse.
The front door was open, lock probably picked. Michiru sat, poised on the stairway. When she saw someone moving through the hall towards the door, she rose.
The person was holding a little bag with him. Michiru recognized it right away as the bag where she kept her star sapphire dolphin.
When the figure turned to peek around, Michiru saw the face. It was William himself.
The woman skidded down the stairs, hearing a groggy Haruka walk after her. William turned again and spotted her. His eyes went wide and he scampered out the door and to his car before she got to the door.
She swore, then grinned in spite of the mood. The bag was full of a false weight like the dolphin. The real one was safe inside a large safety deposit box. She had to give William credit for being the worse robber ever.
"Well, Haruka, looks like we have a counter attack in court."
The tired blonde smiled at her, knowing about the dolphin, too.
The very next day the women went to file their claim, too.

A.N: Bleh..this story is really beginning to suck isn't it? I'm sorry that it's not as good as it should be. I'm trying, but the middle is always hard for me. Please bear with me, though! And don't forget to review!
