Well people, if anybody still wants to read another chapter of this, here
it is. Sorry it's been so long, but I've been attempting to keep up with
my school work and crap for the last few months. Plus I've been awaiting
some good inspiration. This chapter was banged out in about half an hour.

"No."
"Come on, Haruka. No one cares."
"No." Haruka shook her head stubbornly.
"Please? Do it for me?"
"I've already done enough for you, wench. I am not going out in public in that unless I have to." She pointed at the abandoned school uniform on its chair. It had been sitting there for days now.
"But, the girls will be expecting us to turn up, we're supposed to be having a party, and no one's allowed to wear pants, except for Mamoru-san." Michiru whined a bit, hoping to use her feminine wiles to convince her. But Haruka shook her head again.
"No way in hell."
Michiru frowned. She had promised Rei-san that they would be at the temple for the end of summer party the younger girls were throwing. And she had promised that they would be there five minutes ago. Setsuna and Hotaru had already gone on ahead. She huffed and flopped onto the bed.
"Why don't you like being a girl?" She grumbled. Haruka raised an eyebrow at her.
"I do like being a girl. You wouldn't look twice at me if I wasn't a girl."
"No, I mean a GIRL, girl. You know the make-up and the shopping and everything. No, all you do is stomp around the house with your motorcycle boots, the only shopping you do is for auto parts."
"Because you GIRL girls can be royal pains in the butt." Haruka said, flopping down next to her. "I mean really. 'You can't wear that red blouse with those blue shorts, Usagi-chan, not with your hairstyle, you need something a little more subtle'"
"Well, she would've looked terrible. The colours weren't right for her at all. She needs pinks and yellows, with a touch of red."
"See what I mean!"
"But Haruka."
"No more, but Harukas. I'm finished. I won't wear that in public so you can make a guinea pig out of me."
"You're scared."
There was complete silence for a moment.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me. You're scared."
"I am not scared."
"Yes you are. You're afraid of losing your 'big tough girl' image if you put on a skirt. You can face down the biggest of all Youmas wearing something that barely covers your butt, but you won't face your own friends in something that hits your knees."
"Oh, you think so, do you."
"Yes. I do think so. Coward." Haruka narrowed her eyes at the other girl.
"That's it. Out."
"You can't order me out of my own bedroom."
"Yes I can. Out." She grabbed Michiru by the shoulders and practically shoved her out the door, slamming it in her face. Michiru grinned silently to herself. A few seconds later the door opened again and Haruka stomped out. Michiru only got a glimpse of her as she charged by, grabbing her arm and pulling her out the front door as she went.
"Well, come on wench, you wanted to go to a party, let's get going." She growled. Michiru giggled, but then noticed that they were still making a lot of noise on the floor.
"Haruka! You're still wearing your motorcycle boots!"
"Yeah. You didn't expect me to give in to you completely did you?"
