Author's Note: Sorry for the long wait guys. I'll try harder to make updates more frequent, but I won't make any promises. School is going to be hectic soon. Because of Hurricane Isabel, the teachers are giving us double the work as homework. I also have essays for colleges to write for and SATs to take. But I will complete this story eventually.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon; I only own the story plot.
Chapter 5
The next morning, Serena woke-up like usual and got dressed for class. Haruka had gone home at around midnight the night before and said that she would meet Serena in class the next day. They were to discuss on how to tell their father about Serena. 'This will be hard,' Serena thought.
When she arrived at the college, she was greeted by all of her friends that she had met yesterday. "Morning," Serena said, smiling.
"Hey!" The others called out.
Haruka stood to the side, grinning like the cat that had caught the canary. Serena looked over at her and just smiled. They stared at each other for a few seconds, using their eyes to talk and greet each other.
"C'mon, let's go to class," Haruka said, still staring at Serena.
The others nodded, while wondering what was going on between Haruka and Serena. They exchanged looks, but they all just shrugged their shoulders and left for class.

"So, what should we do today?" Mina asked everyone.
Classes were over and they're all standing around the college steps.
"How about going to the Crown Arcade?" Ken asked.
"No, we go there everyday! " Raye said.
"Yeah, I'm getting tired of that place," Chad commented.
"But that's the only place that we can go to," Greg said.
"Actually, we can go to the park," Amy replied.
"Well then, the park it is," Setsuna said.
The others nodded their heads in agreement, well most of them. Haruka and Serena just stood to the side, talking quietly to each other.
"Haruka, Serena," Michiru called out.
The two look over to Michiru.
"Yes?" Haruka asked.
"We're all heading over to the park, are you guys ok with that?" Michiru asked.
Haruka and Serena exchange looks.
"Um...we sort of have other plans for the day," Haruka said.
"Oh " Michiru said softly.
"Yeah, so uh, why don't you guys go and have fun?" Serena said.
Haruka walks over to Michiru and gives her a hug and a small kiss.
"I'll call you later," Haruka said while looking at Michiru. Then turning to the rest of them she calls out, "I'll see you guys tomorrow."
With that Haruka and Serena walk to the parking lot, where Serena's car is parked.
"So, where are we going to meet dad?" Serena asked.
"At the house," Haruka replied as she drives off in Serena's car.
"Will he be there when we get there?" Serena asked.
"Yeah, he should be," Haruka said.
"Oh," Serena replied.
"Are you nervous?" Haruka asked, glancing over at Serena.
"Nervous? Heh, why would I be nervous?" Serena said with a fake laugh.
Haruka reached over with her right hand and took Serena's hand.
"Don't worry, it'll be ok once he knows," Haruka said, while giving Serena a soothing smile. Serena nodded her head and put her other hand on top of Haruka's.
When they arrived at Haruka's house, Haruka gave Serena a smile, then led the way into the house. Upon entering the house, Haruka looks around to see any sign of her father being home. She finds him in the library looking over some papers.
"Pa," Haruka said.
Mr. Thompson looks up after hearing his daughter's voice.
"Class is over?" He asked.
"Yes Pa," Haruka said.
"Good, good," he replied, while looking back at his papers.
"Pa, I'd like you to meet Serena," Haruka said, motioning to where Serena's standing.
Mr. Thompson just nodded his head and continued to read the paper work.
"Pa, can we all sit down and talk?" Haruka asked.
"Sure, what do you two want to talk about?" Mr. Thompson asked looking at the two girls.
"We have some important things to tell you," Serena replied.
"And that is?" Mr. Thompson asked.
"It's about mother and Usagi. Serena knows them," Haruka said.
"What about them? Do you know where Usagi is?"
"Hai, she's right here in Tokyo," Serena replied.
"How do you know that she's here in Tokyo? What makes you think that we should believe you?" Mr. Thompson said with skepticism.
"Because I'm Usagi and Ilene Thompson was my mother," Serena replied.
"You're. . . You're Usagi?" Mr. Thompson faltered, shocked to know that the girl in front of him was his daughter all along. He could see the similarities that Serena and his wife have. Serena looks just like his wife, she's a younger version of his wife. While Haruka took after him, even though she's a girl. She acts like a boy and dresses like a boy, but she also has some traits of her mother. Like how both of his girls are interested in music and are talented when it comes to playing the piano, they picked it up from their mother. Haruka is also good when it comes to business. He wonders if Serena is just like that.
"Hai, I'm Usagi. But when mom and I moved to the States, we changed our names to Ilene Moon and Serena Moon," Serena replied.
"Of course," Mr. Thompson said. "So, how did you two live for the past ten years?"
"We lived a wonderful life. Mother opened up a law firm in New York with Aunt Kathryn and the firm was a big success," Serena replied.
"Kathryn? Do you mean Kathryn Taylor?" Mr. Thompson asked.
"Yes, do you know her?" Serena asked.
"Yes, we went to school together, the three of us," Mr. Thompson replied. "She and Ilene were very closed."
"They were, when mother died Aunt Kathryn was really depressed. But she was there by my side as we watched my mother being buried," Serena said as she eyes become misty.
For the next couple of hours, they talked about everything and anything that had happened in the past ten years. Serena filled her father in on her mother's and her life when they were in the States. She also told him about the times that her mother was sick and what they had gone through. He had asked her if she was planning to move back permanently and she told him that she wasn't so sure yet.
