„Your dad is cool." Michiru grinned at Haruka as soon as Shane had driven away and the guy who had insulted Haruka had left to cry. "Yeah, isn't she?" Haruka agreed, smiling. Michiru smiled back before she asked: "But hey…isn't it weird for you that your foster parents are gay?" Haruka had to bite her lip to keep herself from laughing out loud before she replied: "No. I'm gay myself." "Really?" Michiru burst out before she regained her calmness and blushed. "I mean, really?" Haruka laughed and playfully put one arm around her. "Yes, I am." Her eyes widened a little in surprise when Michiru wrapped one arm around her waist and smiled up at her. Haruka finally snapped out of her surprised trance and smiled back at her friend before the two of them walked arm in arm over to the school building.
"…and your dad kicked that freak's ass?" Makoto asked, her eyes big. Haruka grinned and nodded. "Yep." Haruka replied, grinning from ear to ear. "I sooo envy you." Ami now said. "My dad would never beat the guy who calls me a dyke…he would more likely applaud." Haruka gaped, and Ami blushed, much to Michirus amusement. "Don't worry, Ames." The aqua haired girl now said. "Haruka is gay, too, so…" "And I'm sure you're happy about that." Makoto grinned, causing Michirus cheek to take a nice red color. She mumbled something inaudible, and Haruka leaned closer. "What was that?" Michiru blushed even more before she repeated: "Indeed, I am." Haruka turned purple for a moment, before a huge grin spread over her face. "Well…my parents and I are going to the cinema tonight. Do you want to come, Michiru?" Michiru just smiled and nodded.
"Where is she?" Haruka asked worried, looking at her wrist watch for the millionth time. "Don't worry." Shane tried to calm her down. "She'll be here, I'm…" The ringing of the doorbell interrupted the spiky haired woman's words, and Haruka broke into a huge grin. She practically ran over to the door, nearly tripping and falling, and opened it. "Hi Michiru!" the blonde beamed. „Hi Haruka." Michiru replied, smiling. She peeked over Harukas shoulder and waved to Shane and Kaori. "Hi, Mister and Mrs. Strife!" Both Shane and Kaori rolled their eyes, before Kaori walked over to Michiru and smiled at her. "Please, call us Kaori and Shane. The Mister and Mrs. make us feel old." Michiru returned her smile and nodded. "I'd love to, Kaori." "Now, let's get going, before Haruka freaks out." Shane interrupted. Michiru and Kaori both looked at Haruka, who stood there stepping from one foot on the other one. Both Michiru and Kaori started before Shane offered her arm to Kaori. "May I accompany you to my car, My Lady?" Kaori giggled and nodded. "Of course you may, Sir." Haruka gaped at the two for a moment before she decided that copying her dad was a good idea. She offered her arm to Michiru, who accepted it grinning, and the two of them followed Harukas parents.
"By the way, what are we going to see?" Michiru asked on their way to the cinema. She and Haruka were sitting in the back of Shanes Lamborghini, and while Michiru leaned forward to talk to Shane, she – of course completely out of coincidence – placed one hand on Harukas thigh. The blonde coughed and turned purple. "Well, Kaori opts for I Am Sam, but I'd prefer Panic Room." Shane replied. Michiru frowned. "What would you prefer?" Kaori asked, turning to look at Michiru. She saw the aqua haired girls hand resting on Harukas thigh and smiled a little. "Well…I'd like to see I Am Sam." Michiru answered. Shane groaned. "But Jodie Foster is way sexier than Michelle Pfeiffer!" she then informed her three co-drivers. "Nah, I don't think so." Haruka replied, earning an angered glare from Shane. "Traitor!" the spiky haired then accused her daughter. "Hey!" both Haruka and Michiru yelped, causing Kaori to giggle. "Oh Shane, love, if you want to you can watch Panic Room while Haruka, Michiru and I go and watch…" "No way." Shane interrupted her. "You think I'll let you go into that movie alone and allow hundredths of horny men to drool over my wife? Forget it. And besides, Michelle Pfeiffer isn't that bad." The rest of the quartet laughed, and they still chuckled when Shane parked her car in front of the cinema.
