Disclaimer: Sailor Moon is, unfortunately, not mine in the least.
Gal-durnit. ^_^ The title isn't mine either. It just sounded neat. NOT AN
X-OVER!!
AN: This is about someone who is very underwritten, especially in this
sort of situation. NOT AN OC!!!! It's simply a believable past of someone,
based ever so slightly on my own experiences.

Thesis of an Atrocious Angel
By: Lioness Blackfire

It was late on a saturday morning in early august. A girl, fifteen at the
most, sat at a picnic table in a park near her house. Her chest-length
sandy blonde hair fell about her face in a way that shaded only it. She
sighed again, wiping sweat from her forehead. Restlessly, her aquamarine
eyes moved about the park, and she fidgeted with the sports drink in her
hands.

Then she stood and shook her head as if to clear the thoughts that had
been held there. Stretching, she sped off down the path. Her eyes
continued to search everything, though she continued running. Her blue
jeans shorts and purple tank top stuck to her in the heat, showing off
what wasn't too bad of a figure.

"Ruka!" A voice called from a picnic blanket on a grassy part of the
park. "Ruka, come over here!" The girl slowed and turned jogging over to
her friend's spot. As was normal, her friend was dressed in incredibly
baggy jeans and a top that might have been a ten-x. Her aqua-colored hair
was in a very messy bun with two pens stuck through it.

"Chiru, whacha doin' out here in the sun?" Ruka asked in a lilting
soprano voice that cracked on "sun".

"Just waiting for Tiya and the others." Chiru replied, her alto-esque
voice rolling smoothly. "You're going to have a damn heat stroke running
in this weather!" She shaded her eyes as she looked at the sky. Ruka
chuckled and laid back on the blanket.

A little while passed before "Tiya and the others" showed up. Tiya was
leading, purple hair and gold eyes shining like she sun she was named
after. Sakura was next, a... er... husky individual, brown hair with
natural highlights, and deep chocolate eyes to match. Tenko, the smallest
height-wise, her very short fluffy reddish hair flouncing as she jumped
along, upon seeing Ruka, dropped what little she carried just off of the
blanket and tackled her. Ruka laughed aloud, wobbling under the weight of
both herself and the smaller individual.

"Good to see you too, Tenko." She chuckled, sounding somewhat at a lack
for air.

"Don't suffocate Ruka now, Tenkie." Juna (the last of the party of
friends) laughed, sweatdropping. "She's supposed to usher for us tonight,
remember." Tenko giggled and released Ruka, who was blushing furiously,
and patted the significantly taller girl on the head. Then, quite
suddenly, she ringed Ruka around the neck, forcing her to stoop
tremendously, and walked her back to the picnic spot.

"You know you're shorter than me, right, Tenko?" Tenko released her again
and looked Ruka up and down.

"Well I'll be, I never really noticed." Ruka sweatdropped, and everybody
on the blanket facefaulted.

"Aside from that I'm worried about how you never noticed that Ruka is at
least a foot taller than you, I'm kind of amused." Juna commented.

"Come to think of it, Ruka is taller than everybody except you, isn't
she, Juna?" Chiru said thoughtfully.

"Is she?" Tiya challenged. "She's not taller than me."

"Oh yea?" Ruka replied. "Let's just see then." They ran up to each other,
each trying to pull herself to the taller point.

"Come on, back-to-back you two." Chiru chided gently. "Juna, you judge
who's tallest." Needless to say, Juna walked up and made a big show of
checking them before proclaiming,

"They're completely even!" Everybody facefaulted.

"Right..." Sakura said. "Come on you two, I wanna eat before we have to
head for the school." Ruka somewhat shyly ambled over and sat next to the
brown-haired girl, trying not to look too territorial. She blushed when
Sakura cast a curious glance in her direction, and Tiya rolled her eyes at
the display.

After all, it was fairly common knowledge that the skinny runner, Ruka,
had it bad for the rather plump martial artist, Sakura. It was also common
knowledge that Sakura, no matter how long Ruka waited, was straight and
staying that way.

Frowning at the pause, Tenko struck up a conversation that lasted the
group until they got to the school.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Later on, after Ruka and Juna had finished their ushering duties and sat
watching the show, Juna pointed something out that quite interested Ruka.

"Oh my gosh, look at Chiru! She's so pretty..." Ruka turned her searching
aquamarine eyes to her friend onstage, and her jaw dropped.

"And she's always going on about how she isn't attractive."

"I have to tell her she has really pretty legs." Juna whispered
confidently. "Look at her legs." Swallowing hard, Ruka looked at the
long, well-shaped legs of her friend. "See what I mean?" Ruka just nodded.

'Now wait a minute.' She thought. 'I like Sakura. Sa-ku-ra. Hell, I'm not
supposed to be checking out Chiru's legs, whatever the reason! But damn,
they really are ni-' She shook her head again. 'No no NO! Chiru is a
friend. A good friend who's there for me alot, but not like THAT! though
there was that one party...' She made a face momentarily. 'Ruka no baka!
Ruka no baka!! Stop thinking like that! So what if there was a party where
a spin-the-bottle game allowed lesbian kissing! That means nothing! Nothin
g at all!'

~*~*~*~*~*~

After the show, Ruka bounded downstairs to get her game boy from Tiya and
congratulate Sakura on a performance well done. But when she met with
Chiru first, she stopped dead in her tracks. The surprisingly pretty girl
was, at that point, putting her layers of baggly stuff back on.

"Hey, Chiru." Ruka breathed. The aqua head turned, a surprised expression
on her face. "You, you're really pretty, you know. I don't know why you
always hide it under such baggy clothes." She could feel the heat rising
in her face, and only stayed just long enough for Chiru to process that
and nod. As she walked away, she thought more.

'Now why did I just do that? I know I feel quite a bit of affection for
her, but I feel just as much for Tenko... right? She's just a dear friend
to me, Tenko is. But maybe Chiru... well... just maybe.' She smiled
lopsidedly, and went about her way.

AN: Well, I hope you liked it. It was kinda short, and i hardly ever do
one-parters, but hey... I had the idea, and needed to get it out. Sorry if
it's a little fast-paced. Oh, and just to explain it, it's a
Haruka/Michiru past sort of thing. Ruka is Haruka (duh) as Chiru is
Michiru. Now, the others are actually based off of real people. Tiya I
pulled from taiyou which means sun which is what my real friend's name
means. Sakura is a common name, as is my real friend's one. Blah, you get
it. hehe
So all I have to say is REVIEW! Ja ne
