Prom Nightmare 4:
Saturday Night:
I am outside of her porch, staring around, not knowing what to do. Get a hold of yourself, do not be so nervous. Ok. It's not much of a big deal. I'm just like taking a girl out on a date, that's all. I shouldn't be worried about it. After this night, I'm done with favors... might as well ring the bell.
Maybe this does not sound like Haruka at all, but actually, Haruka never got the courage to meet a girl's parents after her last relationship - after they found out that she was a girl and took her beloved Hikari away from her. They did not want their daughter to be with a lesbian. 'No, her parents are not going to find out. It doesn't even matter anyway, after tonight, its over."
Ding Dong!
The door opened and a tall green haired woman with olive skin tones opened the door.
"Good evening, madam".
"Oh, so you must be Haruka, do come in."
"I'm her mother, you can call me Setsuna. Wont you sit down while I call Michiru. " But there was no need for that because Michiru was already descending upon the staircase.
"You look gorgeous", I managed to blurt. She had the decency to blush and replied that I looked the same. Finally, I took the corsage out of my pocket, and boy was I thankful that it did not look like road roller ran over it. I was glad that Setsuna offered to put the corsage on her daughter; maybe she too was scared that I might gorge Michiru with the pins the florist gave me. Eventually, after a few picture takings, we were able to depart.
I was beginning to feel that we are going to have a good time. It almost made me forget how annoyed I was with her. Almost, but not quite.
"Sorry for all that" she said to me as when we were in the car.
"For what?" I asked.
"Well, for all the hassle I got you into, not counting the fact that I dragged you to come to my prom." I kept silent so she continued.
"You see, there were these girls at my school who were really snobby and all that. She was my rival in academics at school and she hated me for that matter. Well last Monday, when Usagi was looking for a prom dress, we encountered Rei and she asked me if I have a date, but I just could not tell her that so I lied to her and pointed at you since you were the only person around the store. Of course you'd think that I could have solved this matter in another way or so, but this is just the way it turned out."
I could not help but laugh. Laugh at loud for that matter. She was being truthful to me in such a way that she seemed desperate to make me believe her. She looked very cute, no, not cute. Beautiful.
She was abashed, and kept silent "Ok...so I guess you want me to pretend as your someone special?"
"Uh huh, I mean if that's ok with you."
"Its settled then" I smiled to myself. This night is going to be better than I thought.
*-*-*-*-*
From the outside, you could hear the music. It was not the loud type or the oldies one. It has the right beat to keep everyone on his toes. Secretly she pointed out to me Rei and Makoto, the girls she was talking about.
"Want to dance? ", I asked Michiru
"Sure." The band was playing some Pop tunes. We danced under the rainbow colored light and the exquisite disco ball. However, when I looked at her, I was lost. I did not even notice that I was still dancing all I know is that she was looking tense. When the music changed, I noticed her hesitance to continue.
"Maybe we should sit for a while", she said.
I looked around and saw the two girls looking at our direction. I thought that if we would leave the dance floor now, the girls might think that we were a fake couple [which is the truth]. So instead, of walking towards the refreshment table, I pulled her closely to my embrace. At first, she was surprised; she looked around and understood. I wished she did not. I want to embrace her not because of them, but because I want to show her my feelings. I think I am falling for her...
*-*-*-*
After a while, we decided to take a break and sit down. My mind was preoccupied. I must not fall in love with her... the only reason I am here because she needed a date. 'But you know that you wanted to come too, otherwise you could have stood her up ', my conscience chided. Look, i am a lesbian and she does not look like one, surely not. If she finds out that I am a girl, she might push me away. I was pushed away from my thought when I heard,
"Usagi look out!"
The next thing I knew, she was slumped over me, her punch was on my tuxedo. The others did not pay much attention to me. I was glad for that. Maybe I should not be, not after I saw Michiru staring at my female body and me...

Author's notes: Gomenasai minna!!! I know it has been a long time since my last update. For those who are still with me, thank you very much. Please review so that I would know that you are still interested in reading it and I would continue. As usual, no reviews, no continuation policy. So how do you like it? I'm so evil... you don't need to tell me that. Question: Who is tiny Tim on msn? Please do drop me a line.... blue angel, thanks for watching out for my fic. And Nessy-chan, like I said at the first chapter, this fic is inspired by a pocketbook, you may have read that one too since you find it familiar, but I promise you that i'm not going to follow that story line.
Another thing is that I am not an American. I try to make my grammar better for you to understand, so please bear with me. "Aint " technically is not a word, but a slang expression. Thank you for catching my attention on that one. I just love hearing constructive criticisms. They are the best, as long they are not mean.
