"Hi Mom! Hi Dad!" Haruka came bouncing into the living room, earning odd glances from Kaori and Shane. "Look who's in a good mood here." Shane grinned, running one hand through her spiky blonde hair. Haruka let herself fall down on the couch, smiling. "Michiru is gay." She then said. Kaori just stared, not knowing what her foster daughter was talking about, but Shane grinned. "Now that are good news." The American smiled at her beaming daughter. "Who's Michiru?" Kaori finally asked. Both Haruka and Shane blushed. "Haven't I told you about her?" Haruka finally asked. Kaori shook her head. "Oh." Haruka said intelligently. "Well...she's in my class. It was love at first sight." Kaori smiled at the blonde and asked: "And today you found out that she is gay?" Haruka nodded. "Some guys came walking by and yelled words like Dyke after her." She explained. Shane and Kaori frowned, but they both started to grin when Haruka told them how she had squeezed that guys hand in the cantina. "Very well done, daughter." Kaori smiled. "Yeah, show that piece of shit how the wind blows!" Shane encouraged the blonde. "I surely will if he insults Michiru, Ami or Makoto again." Haruka promised. That was when the phone rang, all three of them jumping. Shane walked over to it, picked up the receiver and spoke: "Hello? ... yeah, she's here. Wait a minute." Covering the receiver with one hand, Shane yelled: "Haruka! It's for you." The blonde came walking over, and Shane handed her the receiver, mouthing "Michiru" before she grinned and left. "Hello?" Haruka now said. "Hi, Michiru!" she beamed. "How can I help you...? Why, of course. Wait a sec..." Haruka covered the receiver like Shane had done before and waved at her dad, causing her to walk over. "Dad, can we pick Michiru up tomorrow before school? Her mom is ill and can't drive her." The blonde spoke. "Sure thing." Shane replied. "Tell her to be ready at seven." "Thanks, Dad!" the blonde beamed before she spoke into the receiver again. "Hello? Yeah...Dad says that it's okay. Be ready at seven...oh, you'll come here? No problem either. See you tomorrow morning, then. ...*gape* ...yeah...sweet dreams to you, too. *blush*" Haruka hung up the phone, her red cheeks slowly returning to their normal colour. "Michiru will come here tomorrow morning." Haruka then informed Shane, who stood behind her. "Good." Shane replied. "Now, wanna go and have a cigarette?" the tall American then asked. Haruka smiled, nodded, and they walked down into the cellar.
The next morning, Shane was busy with changing the oil of her Lamborghini when Michiru arrived. Haruka, who was leaning against the wall of the garage, saw the aqua girl walking up to the front door and yelled: "Michiru!" Michiru flinched a little, then turned her head and looked at Haruka, smiling. Shane, who practically crawled into the engine compartment, didn't notice Michirus arrival, until Haruka shouted at her: "Dad! Michiru is here!" Michiru, who was eager to meet Harukas dad, had to stifle a giggle when Shane jerked up in shock, hitting his (A/N: Don't get confused now ^-^ Michiru thinks that Shane is male) head at the hood of the Lamborghini. "OW!" the American yelped. He turned around, and Michirus eyes went wide. Harukas Dad was a Mom, too. "Hi." Shane now said, smiling and holding her hand out to Michiru. "Shane's the name. I'm Harukas foster dad." "Hi." Michiru finally said, taking and shaking Shanes hand. "Nice to meet you." "Same here." Shane grinned at her before she glared at Haruka, rubbing the back of her head. "Shame on you!" the American scolded her daughter. "How can you scare your poor father like that?" Haruka grinned when she replied: "Sorry, Daddy. Can we leave now?" Shane sighed and nodded. "Sure. Just get into the car, I'll be right there."
Haruka and Michiru climbed out of Shanes car, both said their goodbyes and made their way over to the school building. Shane just wanted to drive off, smoking a cigarette on her way to work, but when she reached for them, they were not there. "Oh great." Shane muttered when she spotted the pack of Marlboro on the floor, next to the gas pedal. Sighing, Shane climbed out of the car, knelt down and tried to get the pack out. She just had succeeded and lit a cigarette when a guy yelled: "I'll teach you to call me motherfucker, dyke!" Shane looked up in surprise, only to see a young man running towards Haruka, swinging his fist. "Oh no." The American sighed. "Shane to the rescue!" she then grinned to herself before she came to her feet and ran forward, reaching Haruka before the attacking guy. "Hey daughter." "Hey Dad." Haruka replied, raising her fists. "Look who's there." Shane eyed the approaching man. "Is that the one you told me about?" she then asked. Michiru nodded instead of Haruka, fear in her eyes. Shane stepped into the way of the homophobe, grinning at him. "Hi there. Tell me...did you just call my daughter a dyke?" The guy looked at Shane, frowning. "Your daughter? Well, yes, I did call her a dyke." The very next second, he found himself lying on the floor moaning while Shane calmly walked back to her car and Haruka and Michiru laughed their heads off.
