Disclaimer: I don't own shit. [Except for the plot 'o course]

Summary: AU. Usagi is a famous singer, and is the younger sister of Setsuna, a prominent female model. When Usagi and Setsuna organize a fashion show at their mansion, in order to raise money for a good cause, by selling all the clothes they invite all the biggest celebs; actors and actresses, athletes, politicians, everyone who's a someone. One of those select few is the racecar driving champion, Haruka Ten'ou who finds something she wants that isn't on the order form.

A/N: Once again: the Three Lights are GIRLS in this story! Deal with it.

@~@~@~@~@~@~@

Usagi could barely contain her excitement as the three women made their way to their table; much to Haruka's displeasure. She took another bite of her Caesar salad, then wiped her mouth with a napkin and turned to face the approaching women.

"Oh my God! You guys!" Usagi jumped from her seat and embraced the closest one, who happened to be Seiya. "It's been forever!" Seiya kissed her cheek, and pulled up a chair on the other side of Usagi. Yaten and Taiki gave her a kiss too, before pulling up chairs in various spots around the table.

"This is Haruka Ten'ou, my girlfriend, and her cousin, Michiru Kaiou."

Haruka looked them over for a moment and then went back to stabbing at her salad when Seiya threw an arm nonchalantly over the back of Usagi's chair.

Usagi hesitated for a moment at the grating of Haruka's fork against her plate and then resumed her conversation with the Lights.

There was no denying the feeling that was rising up inside her, but Kami-be-damned if Haruka wasn't gonna try.

She couldn't imagine herself being the jealous type of girlfriend, but the way that Seiya was positioned and the way Usagi was hanging on her every word brought out a side she didn't think she had.

"We just got in from Switzerland last night." Seiya explained while flagging down a waiter, once again.

"And even though we're still terribly jet-lagged we had to come and see you!" Yaten interjected flicking her long, silver ponytail over her shoulder. Her accompanying laugh was reflected in her shining, emerald eyes as she winked at Usagi.

"So how was your Europe tour?" Usagi inquired with a rather hopeful casualness.

"It was amazing!" Seiya admitted, "We were in England, France, Italy, Germany..."

Usagi was practically drooling. "I wish I could take my music out of Japan. It's always been my dream to be known all over the world - like you guys."

She sighed dejectedly and sipped her glass of lemon-water.

"So why don't you?" Seiya asked, stealing Usagi's glass of water for a drink.

Usagi shook her blonde head, "My manager says my music wouldn't appeal to the rest of the world."

"Nonsense!" Taiki sputtered out in anger.

"Taiki's right, Usa." Yaten spoke up, "You're extremely talented."

"The world would be blessed to hear you sing." Seiya added, giving her cheek another little kiss.

Usagi blushed, effectively ending the conversation.

"Setsuna." Seiya recognized the woman with a wink and a nod of her head, "The modeling business is treating you well. Elegantly beautiful-as ever."

Setsuna laughed lightly, and patted Seiya's hand affectionately, "Always the charmer. You're friendship does Usagi good."

Both Usagi and Seiya blushed and looked at each other. With both of them bursting into laughter Seiya wrapped her arm around Usagi's chest and gave the blonde a sort of sideways hug resting her head in the crook of Usagi's neck.

Haruka, getting fed up, stood up rapidly making her chair slide backwards with a loud grating noise.

The entire table jumped slightly at the sudden interruption and watched as Haruka strode briskly towards the bar.

Wiping off her mouth, Usagi stood up as well, "Excuse me." With her wispy skirt flowing out behind her she hurried after her obviously angry girlfriend in visible concern.

Finally reaching her, Usagi laid a hand on Haruka's arm. The muscles were tense underneath her touch.

" 'Ruka-chan, what's wrong?"

"Oh, come on Usagi! It's obvious what your relationship with Seiya is!" Haruka growled.

Usagi was taken aback, but her concern instantly switched to defensive indignation. "How would you know what our relationship is? You've known me less than 48 hours!"

"I know that even after you told her about our relationship, she flirted with you!"

"She wasn't flirting with me! We're just friends..." But even as she said the words, Usagi heard them as less-than-convincing.

She met Haruka's sea-green eyes and saw only honesty and love.

"Seiya..." She whispered slowly. She played over the previous few minutes in her head and saw for the first time the feeling in Seiya's indigo eyes...in the way she looked at her.

"Seiya's an honest person, right?" Haruka asked quietly.

Usagi nodded distractedly.

"All right. A deal than. You ask her if she was flirting with you."

"And?" Usagi prodded.

"And if she says no, then I'll make nice. But if she says yes, we're out of here."

Usagi's nose scrunched up in thought. It only took one look in Haruka's eyes to confirm her decision. "Deal."

Gripping tightly to her girlfriend's hand, Usagi pulled her away from the bar and back in the direction of their table. She stopped next to Setsuna's chair, and looked directly into Seiya's eyes.

"Seiya-kun, I'm gonna ask you a question and I want an honest answer."

Seiya's indigo eyes blinked rapidly for a moment before she gave a little chuckle. Haruka wrapped an arm about Usagi's waist in hopes of channeling her calmness into her girlfriend.

"What's this all about, Odango?"

"Have you been flirting with me?" Usagi asked the question so fast, it was almost impossible to understand, but the entire table heard it.

"Yes."

Usagi ducked her head, and turned away. Haruka didn't smile; she didn't say 'I told you so'. She was just there. And later, when Usagi would relate the story to Kara she would say:

She just...just held my hand...

" 'Ruka-koi, will you take me home?"

"Of course, Koneko."

R & R!

I know, it's still kind of short. Sorry Goddess. It's even worse, tomorrow. Soccer starts up again – morning practices, then school, and then two hour practices afterwards.

BUT I SHALL TRY MY BEST!!!!

Love to all!
