Just Might (Make Me Believe)
That morning, Paige woke up with Lita's head on her shoulder and her arm around her waist. She smiled as she ran her fingers through her girlfriend's auburn hair. Yesterday had been a wonderful day spending in the arms of her lover and knowing that nothing was ever going to tear them apart. Paige laid there for a few more minutes before trying to get up.
"So I don't even get a good morning."
"No, that not true. I thought you were asleep." Paige said as she wrapped her arms around her girlfriend. "Lita?"
"What?"
Paige ran her hand through those long, auburn locks again before saying, "Maybe we should tell the girls the truth."
"You're not serious," Lita said as she sat up.
Paige blushed at the sight of Lita's naked form. "I am. I miss hanging out with them."
"Me too, but I…"
"But, Lita, you said that Rei knows." Paige paused. "So I wonder if any of the other girls are together."
"I just," Lita wasn't sure if she even knew what to say. "Paige I don't know if you're right or not, but I'm tired of lying to them too."
"Really?"
"Yeah, it's too hard." Lita laid back on the bed before saying, "I was so glad that Rei knew because I probably would have told her."
Paige moved to lay her head on Lita's shoulder, "I'm so glad. When should we tell them?"
"Well, we could invite them all over here for dinner?"
"That's a great idea. How about tonight?"
"Well, all right," Lita didn't want to have the dinner party tonight, but she couldn't say 'no' to Paige. "You have to call everyone and let them know."
"Ok." Paige said. "I'm glad that were doing this."
"Me too." Lita said before she kissed Paige. "Guess what?" Lita saw Paige shake her head no. "If this goes badly and we lose our friends, it's your fault."
"Whatever." Paige said as she laid there. She didn't care what happened tonight, just as long as everyone knew the truth.
Oh, you just might make me
You just might make me believe
It took another couple of hours before they were able to get out of bed. After that, the two of them spent the rest of the day getting everything ready. Lita was busy cooking when the doorbell rang.
"Paige, can you get the door!"
"All right." Paige walked to the door in her short light blue robe. She opened to the door to see Haruka and Michiru. "Hi guys!"
"Hi kitten." Haruka said.
"Come on in and no this is not what I'm wearing."
"Why it looks good on you."
"Thanks Ruka." Paige smiled. "Lita, Ruka and Michiru are here."
"We'll go find her," Michiru said before grabbing Haruka hand and walking that way.
Paige wondered to the bedroom and sat down on the bed. She didn't realize that she would be this nervous. Three of her closest friends knew and accepted them, so that meant that everyone else probably would too, but Paige knew that probably was not going to be the case.
"Sweetie, are you ok?" Lita asked as she walked into the room and closed the door behind her. She saw Paige shake her head no. "What's wrong?"
"I'm scared. Ruka and Michiru are like two hours early and…"
"And what?" Lita asked as she sat down on the bed.
"I'm scared."
"So am I." Paige looked at her girlfriend. "You're scared?"
"Yep, I am. You guys are the only friends that I've ever had."
"Maybe we should call the whole thing off."
"No, we're not going to do that. We're telling them." Lita grabbed Paige's hands before saying, "All you have to do is get dressed and decide whether to tell them before dinner or after."
"Um," Paige took a few moments to think. All of this was making her incredibly nervous and scared. "Maybe before dinner."
"Sounds good," Lita kissed Paige before saying, "then get dressed because it is too hard to concentrate with you walking around in that robe."
"Ok," Paige kissed her girlfriend one more time before Lita left the room. She had to admit that she wasn't as nervous anymore. It took another ten minutes to get dressed before she left the bedroom.
About an hour and a half later, everyone started to show up. Paige had been glad when Rei and Mina had shown up first. It was another couple minutes before Serena, Seiya, Ami, and Setsuna had shown up. Once everyone was there, Haruka had asked for everyone to sit in the living room.
Paige stood in the kitchen and was a nervous wreck. She wrapped her arms around Lita's waist, "Are we sure about this?"
"Yes," Lita hugged her girlfriend.
"Ok then."
Paige and Lita were both nervous about this. Lita did not want to lose the only friends that she had ever had and she didn't want to make Paige choose that either. As soon as they reached the living room, they knew that it was now or never.
"Why are we here?" Serena asked once she saw her sister enter the living room.
"Um," Paige paused to gain enough courage and said, "Lita and I called you guys because we wanted to tell you something."
"What is it?" Ami asked.
"We're dating," Paige blurted out. She never meant to do that, but she wanted this over and done with.
"What?" Mina shrieked. "That's all it was. And here I thought someone was pregnant or something."
"What?" Serena exclaimed. "You knew?"
"Of course I knew Serena. I just wasn't sure until the last meeting." Mina said. She got up and stood in front of Paige and Lita. "I just wasn't going say anything. I'm happy for you too." Mina gave them each a hug.
"Thanks Mina."
"I'm happy too." Ami was just glad that her two friends were now dating. She didn't like to see Lita so sad.
Haruka looked at Serena and said, "I hope you know that you're the reason that it took so long for them to be together."
"It wasn't me." Serena stated as she got up off the couch.
"Yes it was Serena." Lita paused because she knew that she had to word this the right way. "You're one of my best friends and the first person that was nice to me. That's why I denied Paige's feelings the first time. You said that we couldn't be together unless the relationship was from the moon kingdom, but then you go and get engaged to Seiya. What does that say to the rest of us?"
"That you guys should listen to me," Serena stated as a matter-of-fact.
"No, that's not it." Paige was tired of listening to her sister. "I bet Rei, Mina, Ami, and maybe Setsuna all have relationships."
"I do." Rei said. "And I have for at least a year."
Serena turned around to face Rei, "With who?"
"Me." Mina said as she walked over to Rei and wrapped her arms around her waist.
Paige smiled. Everyone was shocked. It seemed like everyone was trying to follow Serena's stupid rule. Everyone was speechless.
"What about you Ami?" Serena demanded.
"Um, well…" Ami trailed off and blushed, "It has only been like a month, but…um…"
"I'm with Ami." Setsuna stated.
Haruka nudged Michiru and said, "So that's where Setsuna has been."
"What the hell?"
"Serena, I'm not trying to be mean or anything because you're my sister, but you have to realize that your stupid rule isn't fair. Just because…"
"I realize that now and…" Serena paused. "I'm sorry. Really I am. I guess that I…"
"Don't worry about it. We just all have different lives now. So we're all still friends right?" Paige said.
"Definitely." Everyone said together.
Lita had been glad that everything had worked out. She didn't know what she would have done if things had gone the other way.
The sailor senshi team ate dinner and talked about everything. It was nice to not have to keep any secrets anymore. Everything seemed to work out the way it was suppose to. Paige was just glad to finally be able to sit on Lita's lap, hold her hand, and maybe steal kisses. She was happy to show everyone that the princess of Jupiter was hers and that she was never letting her go.
That's it. It's done. I'm actually kind of sad to see this one go. Let me know what you guys think of chapter. I'm curious to know what people think. It's been fun! Bye!
