„Class, this is Haruka Tenoh. She'll join us from now on." Haruka stood in front of the class, smiling nervously. Luckily, the students all seemed to be really nice; most of them smiled, one of them, an aqua haired girl, even beamed at her. "Haruka, why don't you sit down next to Michiru." The teacher now spoke, while she pointed at the beaming aqua haired one. Haruka nodded, walked over to the seat and sat down. "Hi." Michiru whispered, extending one hand to the blonde. "Michiru Kaioh." "Haruka Tenoh." The blonde replied, smiling. "Attention now, please!" the teacher begged, and Haruka returned her attention to the lesson. After all, she didn't want to get scold at her first day.
School was over soon, and by the time that the day had ended, Haruka was head over heels in love. With no one else than Michiru Kaioh. Now, the blonde stood outside the school building, waiting for Shane to pick her up, chatting with Michiru. "My foster dad will be here soon." The blonde now said, causing Michiru to look at her worried. "You foster dad? He's treating you nice, right?" Haruka laughed. "Yes, sh…he is great." Right after the last word had left her mouth, Haruka saw the black Lamborghini driving up the road. "Here he comes." She quickly explained, hoping that Michiru wouldn't notice that Shane was female. The Lamborghini came to a stop, and the window on the passenger's side went down. "Hey Haruka!" Shane called out. Haruka quickly said her goodbye to Michiru, who gaped at the car, and climbed in. Shane sped off after greeting Haruka with a bright smile. "Now tell me, who's that nice girl you talked to?" the spiky haired demanded to know as soon as they were out of earshot – what didn't take long. "Michiru Kaioh. She's in the same class with me." Haruka replied. Shane just grinned, and they drove on in silence until they reached their home.
Later, Kaori, Shane and Haruka sat in the living room, Shane busy with beating up various monsters on the Playstation 2 she and Kaori owned while Haruka had a little talk with her foster mom. All of a sudden, Haruka decided that she would tell her new parents about her sexual orientation; they surely wouldn't mind. "Shane, Kaori?" she started. Shane paused her game and looked at her foster daughter questioningly. "Yes?" she finally asked, unison with Kaori. Haruka played around with the hemline of her shirt, ran one hand through her shortcut hair and sighed: "There's something I need to tell you." Shane raised one eyebrow, and Haruka talked on. "I know that you won't mind…but…I'm gay." She finally blurted out. There was long silence. "Good." Shane finally said. "I wouldn't have appreciated it if you would've brought home a boyfriend." Haruka gaped at her foster father for a few seconds before she started to chuckle. The chuckling soon turned into howling laughter, and Shane and Kaori joined her in laughing. "Oh God." Haruka finally managed to say. "I'm so lucky that they sent me to the two of you. You're the best foster family ever." "Oh, thanks." Shane replied, grinning. "Hey, Haruka." Kaori suddenly butted in. "Your birthday was two weeks ago, right?" "Yeah." Haruka replied, frowning. "Why?" Both women stood up. "Come, there's something we want to show you." Kaori spoke. Anxious, Haruka stood up, following her parents into the garage. There, next to Shanes black Lamborghini and Kaoris black Rover, a metallic blue Suzuki Swift stood waiting. "Happy Birthday, Haruka." Shane spoke softly, smiling. Haruka just gaped at the car for a second before she whirled around and threw her arms around both Kaori and Shane. "Thank you!" she called out. Before her happiness was smothered a little. "I don't have a driving license." She said. Shane just grinned. "Kaori took care of that. Your lessons will start next week." Haruka smiled, her eyes filling with tears of happiness. (A/N: That's totally OOC Haruka. But it fits so well ^_^) "Thanks." She said again. "For everything." Shane smiled back, as did Kaori. "No need to thank us, Haruka. We want you to be happy." Kaori replied. Haruka hugged them again, whispering the words that made the souls of the young couple sing with joy. "Thank you, Mom and Dad."
