Summary: It's been a year after the battle with Galaxia, The senshi are taking advantage of the time of peace, Setsuna is married with daughter, and Haruka and Michiru are soon engaged to be married.

Disclaimer: No part of Sailor Moon belongs to me, the show and characters belong to Naoko Takeuchi. Only Miyoko and Shukensha belong to me.

After the inner soldiers had left from the party, Setsuna and Shukensha, along with Hotaru and Miyoko who had volunteered to help were left to clean everything up.

Haruka was too far out there to say or do anything, she re-played her proposal to Michiru inside her head

Flashback

"…Everything that is elegant and beautiful, will you marry me?"

Michiru smiled at her then stood up as Haruka had done the same. The Soldier of Embrace moved closer towards The Soldier of Wind and Rebellion stepped back unconsciously.

Michiru slid her hands under Haruka's jaw before she was able to speak and sealed the moment meeting Haruka's lips and pulled away without a word and left the room.

Haruka forced herself to speak but was unable to comprehend what had just happened. The others just sat there with their mouths open. They had never really seen the two of them be so forward with their relationship, yet alone kiss in front of their fellow soldiers.

Though, Setsuna, Shukensha, Hotaru and Miyoko didn't look at all surprised since they lived with them on a daily basis.

End of Flashback

She was brought out of her reverie by the sound of running water in the bathroom closest to the living room.

'What did that kiss mean?' Haruka questioned herself

Michiru hadn't spoken since her proposal.

Haruka jolted when she felt a hand on her shoulder "Go see her." Came Setsuna's voice Haruka rubbed her throbbing temple then stood up facing Setsuna who smiled softly and nodded

Michiru smiled to herself as she poured some foaming cream bath into the running water of the bathtub. She placed two candle stands with rose scented candles next to the bathtub then lit them. She closed her eyes taking in the scent from the forming scent of the candles and bubbles in the bath before turning to exit the bathroom to grab a book to read.

When she returned she turned of the lights then closed the door behind her and removed her light blue robe, oblivious to the figure behind her. She placed her book on the side of the tub.

"Michiru..." Came a husky voice

Michiru turned in alarm as Haruka walked out from the dark corner of the bathroom and stepped into a path of light that came from the illuminated candle.
The blond stood there wrapped in a royal blue towel with an engaging smirk on her face.

"Haruka…" Michiru said

"May I join you?" Haruka asked moving closer towards her

Michiru smiled to herself "I suppose…"

She turned and shut off the running water as Haruka had removed her towel and slid in first, letting out a sigh of content as the warmth entered her body.

Once Haruka was situated, Michiru slid her legs into the water then slowly lay down, back facing Haruka and leaned the back of her head against Haruka's shoulder.

Haruka hummed as they both took in the beautiful smell of the foaming cream bath, she slid her long masculine arms around the waist of her lover and rested her chin on to of Michiru's head.

"Michiru…" Haruka started

"That was a wonderful party, Haruka, Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu." Michiru said softly As she reached out absently and cupped some foaming bubbles into her hand

"I thought you'd like it, but then there's the other thing…"

"And what might that be?" Michiru asked with a smile, she had already known the answer to her own question

Haruka reached out with her right arm and gently took Michiru's hand in her own and fingered the engagement ring on Michiru's finger.

"You haven't spoken since I proposed to you…do you not want to marry me?" Haruka said sadly

Michiru smiled and took some bath suds onto the tip of her finger and placed it on Haruka's nose

"Oh, I see. I thought I already expressed my answer to you earlier." Michiru smiled remembering the kiss

"Eh?"

"Ask me again."

"Michiru, Will you marry me?" Haruka positioned Michiru so that they were now gazing deeply into one another's eyes as if looking into one another's soul

Michiru smiled "Yes, I will."

A burst of giggles and cheers rose from the other side of the bathroom door,
making it clear that, Setsuna, Shukensha, Miyoko and Hotaru were tuning in on the conversation.

Haruka held Michiru closer to her and leaned down meeting Michiru's soft pink lips. "Well it's clear no one objects." Haruka chucked

"What do you say, like the idea of becoming Michiru Tenou?"

Michiru smiled looking up at Haruka, the strings of her wavy bangs curled delicately around her sea-green eyes. "I'd love more than anything to become your wife, I wouldn't have chosen to become Sailor Neptune if I couldn't be able to meet you."

"I know, I wouldn't have accepted my destiny either if you weren't there to save me and knowing what I know now, I wouldn't do anything differently because I was able to meet you, and I have destiny to thank for that." Haruka said

Looking at the candle beside the bathtub then leaned her head against Michiru's "I love you, Michiru."

"I love you too, Haruka."

To be continued…

A/N: So I decided to add a little twist before Michiru accepted Haruka's proposal,

didn't want the 'Yes' to be expected at the start of the story. This chapter is a little

short but hopefully my next one will be longer.
