Serena closed her eyes as she listens while Haruka plays the piano for her. He is playing a sweet and smooth music that as she listens, she felt herself falling into a deep trance. It went across her mind the days when Raye exerted so much effort to let her fall into a deep trance and concentrate on her psychic powers. She never succeeded in any of those sessions. She grinned at that thought. Now she knew that it is only the peaceful feeling and Haruka's music that could make her fall for it. Haruka really knew how to make her happy.
Suddenly, the music stopped. Serena opened her eyes, "What's the matter Haruka?"
Haruka stared at the piano keys, not hearing Serena's question. He knows that he wanted to do this for her. He knows his feelings but his mind is keeping on coming back to Michiru. 'This...this music, this music is a personal composition that I've always dedicated to someone I love. And always, I have dedicated it only to Michiru. Only to her. And now I've played it for Serena.' There was a rather guilty feeling inside Haruka but he quickly shrugged it off. 'How many times do I have to remind myself that I love Serena and not Michiru. She's just my best friend!' Haruka fought that feeling. He thought it would just go, when suddenly a voice from inside his head spoke. 'Is that what you think of Michiru? Only a best friend? There are consequences from your acts...'
"Of course! And what do you mean by that?" the voice didn't answer back, instead it gave him a mocking chuckle. Haruka is furious for he hates to be laughed at but before he could say something, he felt someone shaking him.
"Haruka, are you alright?" Haruka finally came into reality and what he saw before him are two blue worried eyes. "You okay?"
"It's alright Serena, I'll be fine." He smiled and brushed a thumb over her smooth cheeks. "Do you want me to play again?"
"Nope, I think that's enough for now. How about we have dinner?" Serena gave him her sweetest smile that surely made Haruka melt. "Sure, kitten."
As they walk downtown, hand in hand, Haruka heard a scream that sent a chill down her spine. 'No, God, please not now, not on my date!'
"Isn't that the famous Formula1 racer Ten'ou Haruka?!"
"Sure he is!"
"He?"
"She has turned into a he, you dimwit! Haven't ya heard? We're living in a modern society and that isn't impossible."
"So that means that I do have a chance on her...er...him?"
"That means WE have the chance so let's go!"
There was further 'love screams' and then before they knew it, Haruka and Serena are being chased by a bunch of girls. They both ran as fast they could. "What is this?! I'm being forced to exercise before I eat!" Serena gasped for breath as she tried to catch up with Haruka.
They're starting to get tired from running but it seems that the 'fans' are too obsessed with Haruka to get tired. Hand in hand, Haruka & Serena could only shout 'sorry!' on the way as they tripped news stands, chairs, grocery carts and most of all, people.
"Hey! Watch out where you're goin'!" shouted a man at White Cross Flowershop after they broke a couple of flower pots.
After what looks like 3 kilometers (or miles) of unrewarded marathon, they have come to a stop. Perhaps the 'fans' finally figured out that they're unwanted at that time (^_^!). I'm sorry, Koneko, I forgot my car. I figured out that perhaps it would be much better if we walk together or maybe just walk you home."
Serena giggled. "You DO have some romance in you, don't ya. Michiru is really lucky to have you!"
Haruka ignored that comment. "This thing could be easy if I can still tell them that I'm a girl. Since I told them that, less girls had been chasing me."
"You told them that you're now a he?" Serena asked.
"No, I think it's just the looks."
"They're looking at your breasts. You're a she and still you look like guy. Yeah, that's it! They've been looking at your breasts!" Serena said and didn't realize that she was talking too loud and this made Haruka sweatdrop. He was about to comment on this when he noticed light flashes of what looks like camera flashes. "Uh, oh..."
Again, they started running, this time from a mob of reporters, writers and other media figures.
"Mr. Ten'ou, how does it feel to be a man?"
"Mr. Ten'ou, are you looking forward to a better racing career?"
"Oh, Mr. Ten'ou!!! I see you're dating another girl aside from Ms. Kai'ou...is collecting girls your new hobby these days?"
They are just a few questions from the mob. "Is this the life of the famous? If it is, then I don't want to be one!" Serena wailed as they continue to run.
Suddenly, Haruka stopped and the act almost got Serena unbalanced. "Hey! Why d'ya stop?"
"I'll face this."
"So Mr. Ten'ou..." the media managed to catch up with the two.
"Yeah, I know. I'm always looking forward to much better racing career but nothing changed much cause I'm still winning and there are still a lot of girls." Haruka took a moment to breathe but didn't give the media a chance to ask further questions. "I'm going out with Ms. Kai'ou but she's not my girlfriend and I'm not the type who collects girls as a hobby. Lastly, life being a man is good but it will only change to worse if you continue to get in my life in public! Any questions will be answered in an official press conference. NOW GET OUT OF HERE OF YOU DON'T WANT TO CATCH THE WIND!!!!" with that, the media disappeared in a snap.
"Wow...that's great. But I admit it's kinda harsh." Serena commented.
"They have done too much in ruining our date." Haruka turned to Serena and planted a kiss on her forehead.
At their stomach's request, they went in a restaurant to have a 'special dinner' since Haruka wants to make up for what happened that afternoon.
"Serena, I'm really sorry for—"
"No, no, no Haruka. There's no need for apologies. Right now, what we both need is a good dinner 'kay? I'm starting to feel starved, anyway where's the food?!" Haruka smiled at this. He called the waiter's attention to ask for their food. Soon, the food was delivered.
"These are great stuffs! Promise me, Haruka, you'll get me an equally great dessert." Serena was so alive at the sight and the smell of food. She felt that she losed 5 pounds for just running around and it feels like she wants to make up for that. And that means that she doesn't care if she doubles it.
Haruka was about to feed himself when a spoonful of food appeared in front of him. "Do you mind?" Serena asked who was offering to do some feeding for Haruka. He smiled, "Let's do it together."
As they were about to feed each other, a beeping noise interrupted the sweet moment. "Oh, excuse me..." Serena turned to her communicator. "What?!"
"Don't scream at me Serena. You're needed here immediately!" it was Mina in her impatient tone. "Huh?! But I was just about to have my FIRST spoon of dinner!!" but Mina didn't seem to hear it as the communicator beeped, indicating that the conversation has ended.
"What is it?"
"It was Mina and it looks like we've got Senshi business here. Uh...I wish I could finish dinner first." She reluctantly left the restaurant and promised herself that she would return. "I shall return!"
Haruka went with her and they met Luna as they were about to transform. "Hurry, Serena, you're needed ASAP!"
"Yeah,yeah... 'it's easy for them to say it 'cause they're not hungry.'"
"MOON COSMIC POWER, MAKE UP!!!!!"
"URANUS PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!!!!"
"Serena transformed but is surprised to see Haruka untransformed. "I swear I heard you scream your transformation chant."
Haruka was confused but held up his pen and transformed again. "URANUS PLANET POWER, MAKE UP!!!!!"
Nothing happened.
"I...I'm sorry Haruka." Luna muttered.
"What are you saying?"
"You couldn't transform. The crystal that activates your transformation isn't adapted to your male form." Luna explained though she knew that it would be hard for Haruka.
"But how could I... BAKA! Are you saying that I've lost my Senshi form?"
"There's no time to be wasted, Sailormoon. Go!" Sailormoon nodded though worried for Haruka. Haruka followed just in case he's needed even in his human form.
Sailormoon and Haruka found a fierce looking daimon attacking the park and is now holding a pure heart crystal of a child. Moreover, they saw the other four Senshi on the ground and exhausted from a fight.
"Sailormoon!"
She nodded. "How dare you took the pure heart crystal of the innocent and disturb me from my romantic dinner date? I am Sailormoon, the beautiful soldier of love and justice! In the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!!!"
The daimon looked enraged by the speech and it turns to attack.
"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!!!!!"
She missed.

A.N: I told myself that this is the last chapter, but it seems that I can't. The next chapter is really the end and I'm not telling you to look forward to a very good ending but I'm telling you to look forward for the end of this story that gets in the nerves of many by the fact that Haruka is a man. I can't blame you. It's just a fic made to answer the question of "What if Haruka is a man?" Newayz, thanks for the reviews, either flame or compliment. They help a lot so please review. Ja!
