A few hours and an uneventful flight to home later SunTzu, back in grey sweatpants and hoody, stepped out of the arrival hall of the space port portion of Tokyo Haneda Airport.

He had to hurry, AICA with the two Senshi departed after him but was way faster and he had to be ready for the official inauguration ceremony for Hotaru at the air base, when she arrived. One could say what he wants about Artemis but he made sure people got their fair share of appreciation.

SunTzu stepped out of the building and was looking for a taxi when he felt someone closing by, someone he knew and he turned around.

"You still know how to surprise me, don't you?" He said and began to smile as the person walked up to him, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him down to her, pressing her lips on his. It hasn't been for two days but he missed her like crazy already. When he saw her his heart jumped with joy, oh how much he loved this woman.

"Welcome back to earth, TopGun." Rei Hino said after the kiss. She shot him a wry smile.

"You take not only one but two other girls out for dinner and I still pick you up from the airport. For the record, best girlfriend ever. Although we really need to talk about how you dress in public."

SunTzu looked down his hoody and sweatpants.

"Why, what's wrong with this?"

"Oh, you'll figure out on your own I hope."

SunTzu raised his eyebrow.

She used to love that outfit on me, what's the matter now?

Hand in hand the couple left for a nearby multi-story car park, where Rei had parked.

On the way SunTzu told his girlfriend about Hotaru's vow and the rest of the trip.

They just had stopped in front of the car when SunTzu gently pulled Rei around to face him.

"Hey Rei, I think I have a bit of bad conscience. I hope you really don't mind I invited Setsuna."

"Awww Babe, don't worry. We're talking about Setsuna, one of my best friends and a fellow Senshi. I trust you two. I know there have been times when I was jealous with Minako but I trust you, okay?"

She smiled and leaned towards him, grinning evilish.

"But don't worry, you will be punished later." She purred seductively.

"Mhm, tell me more."

Rei leaned into his ear.

"When we two finally get home tonight, don't you think I'll stop riding your dick until the sun comes up again. I'll fuck you so hard and so long, that you won't even be able to think about other women anymore."

SunTzu's mouth curled up as well and he quickly took a look around if nobody was around, and nobody was to be seen.

He grabbed Rei around her butt and lifted her up, against the wall next to the car, frenchkissing her excessively. Rei grabbed his hair on the back of his head and slung her legs around him. His lips glide down from hers and onto her chin and onto her neck.

"Yes, I'm glad you're back as well." She moaned out as his lips slowly trailed down her neck before he brought his mouth up to her ears.

"Tonight I want you to ride my tongue until you scream. And then I'm gonna fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk tomorrow." He whispered in her ears, making her grabbing onto him even tighter and biting her lip before he gently sucked on her earlobe.

And then suddenly he stopped and put her back down.

I too can play this game, Baby…

SunTzu looked at his chrono, while a dumbfounded Rei needed a moment.

"Too bad, but we really have to get going now. Think you can drive?" He said in a sober tone earning him an animalistic glare and he swore Rei was emitting smoke from her body.

It took a few moments before Rei was ready and willing to get into the car.

All the time SunTzu was observing her with a innocent smile.

As she finally sat down she began to laugh and then punched his leg with a fake angry face.

"You'll get that back Topper, I swear." She let out a deep breather and started the car.

"Oh Rei, you look so cute when you're pouting." SunTzu mocked his girlfriend further.

"Wait till we're home. I will fucking ravage you." She told with her most serious voice and glared through the windshield.

Thirty minutes later they arrived at the palace and headed directly for the Crystal Tower, Hotaru and AICA were already in hyperspace for the Sol System.

The couple took the elevator up to the Senshi's quarters.

Inside the elevator, the still pouting Rei turned around to face SunTzu and literally jumped on him, pushing him hard against the wall.

She began to kiss his him, her tongue searching to enter his mouth and wrestle with his, her right hand grabbing at the bulge in his pants.

And then suddenly the elevator opened and SunTzu, just having kissed her back, immediately stopped, gentle but firmly pulled Rei's hands away from him and walked out like nothing ever had happened.

After a few steps he stopped and turned around to Rei.

"C'mon Rei, we need to get ready."

This earned him a furious look from Rei.

SunTzu went for a shower and after two minutes a still pouting Rei tried to enter the bathroom as well.

It was closed. Of course, he was teasing her. She sighed.

You want to play, then let's play.

A few minutes later SunTzu came out of the bathroom, already dressed with pants and shirt, he had changed into the olive colored Uniform of the Taskforce and as he was closing the buttons on his wrist he found Rei, sitting cross legged on the edge of her bed, her black Diplomatic Corps Uniform but this time with a black skirt instead of the pants. She also wore black stockings and had her long black hair in a fish tail braid. On her bed, only halfway hidden lay a red lace tanga.

"Let's go?" Rei asked a wry smile on her face, she exactly knew what he was asking himself right now.

On the way to the motor pool they met Ami and Makoto and the quartet made their way over to the Air Base.

Hotaru would arrive soon and most of the others were there already.

SunTzu greeted the others of the inner circle and congratulated a happy Helios to the passing of his exam.

"The Admiral surprised me and accepted me into the Taskforce, I'll be under Captain Santos direct command on the bridge of the Far Side the next time we leave."

A few minutes later AICA broke through to the clouds above Tokyo and was greeted by the Voyager that suddenly ascended next to her.

From her rear seat a happy Michiru waved at Setsuna and Hotaru.

A few moments after that AICA landed at Crystal Tokyo's air base and Hotaru was amazed to see so many people waiting for her.

"Do you think we all forgot about you little one?" Haruka came in over the comms.

With a beaming smile Hotaru landed in front of the crowd.

After making sure that her mom had a pleasant flight, which the proud Setsuna affirmed immediately, and thanking AICA for the flight she opened the canopy.

Loud cheering and applause began to sound off when Hotaru rose up out of the cockpit.

Her friends were swarming around the fighter and Hotaru just had time to help her mother out of the backseat before Haruka had climbed up to her and bear hugged her, telling her how proud she was of her and kissing her on her forehead.

SunTzu tried to lend Setsuna a hand to get down but she just took a short glance at him before she jumped down without his help.

Hotaru climbed down the cockpit as well and was almost downed to the ground by a beaming Chibiusa, almost suffocating her best friend with a hug. The Royal Couple followed with Usagi hugging the girl.

Helios followed and both newly sworn in officers congratulated each other. Michiru followed with a long hug and tears because she was so proud and after that Rei congratulated her fellow raven hair.

The rest followed as well and after everybody congratulated, the officers suddenly fell into formation and made room for Artemis, which asked Hotaru and Helios to stand in front of the formation.

"Second Lieutenant Meiou it is my honor and great pleasure to officially welcome you as Starfighter Pilot into Taskforce Sol."

Every member of the forces and even the King formed a salute as Artemis handed her the insignias and a patch of the Taskforce.

He similarly welcomed Helios into the Taskforce and then stepped a step back and saluted as well.

Applause followed and when the salute ended, Helios and Hotaru fist bumped. They had made it, they were Officers now.

Another round of Congratulations followed and this time SunTzu was the first one again to congratulate his protege.

Proudly he stood around Hotaru. Haruka, displaying the same proudness, stood next to him.

One time Rei stepped up to him and whispered in his ear, leaning forward so he could see from upwards that the first two buttons of her blouse were open and he catched a glimpse of a bra the same color of the tanga on Rei's bed earlier. His eyebrows shot up for the fracture of a second.

"You know, your father figure impression is so on point right now, that tonight i'll have to tell you to choke me. Daddy."

With a big, happy grin and light steps she left again.

Minako had the great idea to do pictures and one of the Soldiers who were taking pictures of the small ceremony where asked if they would do this. First picture was one of the two happy Graduates and then one of Helios, Hotaru and Chibiusa followed and picture by picture more people joined or had pictures made, like Rei, Hotaru and SunTzu in one and then joined by the other Outer Senshi. Finally a group picture followed eher everyone of the Inner Royal Circle was on the picture. As the picture with the camera was done, Minako pulled out her phone and did a group selfie as well.

Inside the Air Center a small reception were held.

Hotaru, Michiru, Haruka and SunTzu were together talking about Hotaru's exam, her vow as well as the two lovers' maneuver in the American desert.

Setsuna was standing a bit aside of the four pilots when Rei appeared next to her.

"You had a good time on Coruscant?"

"Yes, thank you Rei. I hope you don't mind that SunTzu invited me. And that we stayed overnight."

Rei made a waving gesture.

"Oh c'mon, TopGun has more than enough money. And after patching him up so many times you really earned it that he does something nice for you." Rei looked over it him as Hotaru was telling him something and he listened to her tightly, all his attention on her telling. "And I freaking adore it how proud he is of Hotaru. They get along so well. But I'm also glad he's back, I missed him. Crazy, how much you can miss someone in such short time." Then she leaned in to Setsuna. "And I'm so horny I barely can't control myself. Probably I'll have to drop him off in the medbay tomorrow, because he'll need Bacta for his sore dick when I'm finished with him. He's been teasing me since ever he left that shuttle today." The older Senshi slowly turned her head towards Rei, looking rather shocked.

Rei stayed with Setsuna most of the celebration. She couldn't tell why but her friend seemed off today, even more quiet than usual. Rei figured it probably was because the Senshi of Time felt bad for having being invited by SunTzu. Rei wanted to let her know that she wasn't any kind of mad or jealous and stayed by her side as sign, that everything was okay.

SunTzu took course over to them, he just had talked with Artemis, Commander Jordan and Captain Santos, praising his protege.

Rei had a glass of sparkling wine in her hand and talked with Setsuna about the restaurant they were yesterday.

SunTzu walked up to her from behind until he was close behind her. He exactly knew what warm his breath on her neck would cause cause with her at Rei's current status.

SunTzu leaned forward to her and after a few moments lifted his mouth up to her ear.

"I was thinking that maybe you should tell the other Senshi to sleep outside the palace tonight. They might erroneously could take your screams for you being attacked. Not that I'm not going to do very, very bad things to you."

Then he just walked away again, leaving Rei behind, staring at him.

"Rei? Are you okay?" Setsuna asked her and Rei finally came back to her senses.

"He's so dead." The raven haired stated and downed her glass in one sip.

A few minutes later Rei found SunTzu at the buffet that had been prepared. He was putting fresh fruit on his plate.

"You better enjoy your last meal TopGun. Don't forget to take in enough proteins."

"Oh, don't worry, that's just the appetizer. I'll have something good and juicy soon. By the way I like that braid."

"I made it so you can pull my hair easier later. While I grind my hips on your cock."

SunTzu froze in his movement and Rei began to grin.

Gotcha TopGun.

She leaned in onto him and purred into his hear.

"There's honey behind you, you might want to take that with you. I know a place where I could lick that fro… LUNA! Are you enjoying the reception?" The black haired Head of Court just had appeared next to the couple, fetching a plate and Rei immediately changed her voice and demeanor.

"It's so nice. Hotaru really made top graduate at her class? I guess that's thanks to you SunTzu."

"Err… Uhm… yeah." SunTzu stuttered out, still standing in a way that he was facing the food.

"Don't mind him Luna, his mind is completely occupied with choosing which food to get."

SunTzu turned his head at Rei, while he desperately thought of something not sexual so he could be able to turn around again.

It wasn't meant to be a long reception as Artemis wanted to give Helios and Hotaru a bit time for themselves as well. The two young officers wanted to go out a bit with Chibiusa and their fellow good friend Momoko.

Sun had just went down on the horizon and people were about to leave.

SunTzu just had said his goodbyes to the teenagers and his former trainee thanked him from the bottom of her heart again which he answered with telling her how good a pilot she already was and how proud he made her.

Rei was next to him, she already had said goodbye, but she gave Hotaru and SunTzu the time they needed. The couple held hands and watched as the trio walked away, a beaming Chibiusa practically inseparable from her boyfriend.

"She's so proud of both of them. And she and Helios are so cute together." Rei stated with a smile on her face.

"Yeah. And Helios is a good guy, intelligent, ambitious, hard working. Mamoru and Usagi can be happy, there are worse boyfriends for you daughter out there." SunTzu replied.

"What do you say we leave too?" Rei asked her boyfriend, with a way too innocent voice.

Oh, we're an innocent girl now. Alright.

"Yeah, let's go." And then SunTzu leaned down to her and hushed in her ear.

"The first position I'm going to fuck you tonight will be missionary. I want to look into this angelic blue eyes while I fuck you like the demon I am."

Her eyes widened and she grabbed his hand pulling him behind her, heading out of the building. On the way to outside she handed her half full glass to a waiter.

As soon as she stepped outside, still pulling SunTzu behind her, she waved at the nearest driver.

Ami was up early as always the next day. Everybody else would have taken off and made himself a nice day but not her. She even told Ryo to not take off work and instead just be available for tonight.

The only thing she wanted to celebrate her birthday with was a romantic candle light dinner.

Even if it wasn't for the ongoing shadow war or other dangers for the young kingdom she wouldn't have taken a day off. Typical Ami.

She had left home and shortly after rolled up in Makoto's driveway.

The tall brunette came out with a cake plate with dome and a huge smile.

Ami's lips inside the car curled up as well.

Mako opened the door and sat down, before she turned around and presented the cake, Creme de Mente and Dark Chocolate, to her friend.

"Happy birthday Ami she said and smooched the blushing blue haired genius.

"Oh my Mako-Chan. How long have you been in the kitchen for this again. This looks to beautiful to eat at all!"

While in the car Ami's mother called already, she was about to head out for the hospital to start her shift and wanted to congratulate her daughter first, reminding her that they'd met on the weekend.

Soon the two Senshi arrived at the palace and before Makoto went to her own office Ami was forced to cut the cake and they both had a piece and a cup of coffee. That was after her whole department came together to congratulate Ami to her birthday.

Ami just had sat down when it knocked on the door.

"Come in Please."

The door opened and King Endymion and Neo Queen Serenity entered.

"Good Morning Ami! Happy Birthday!" The two Rulers said at the same time as Ami got up and got around her table.

Before she could react the two Royals both hugged her.

Usagi being up this early really meant something on it's own but of course they also had a gift for her.

Since she was an avid music fan they handed her some very rare vinyls of her favorite music Artists, making the reserved Ami beam with joy.

After the obligatory piece of cake for Usagi the two Royals left again.

Ami at least got a bit of work in, although Ada called and gratulated her, before an alarm on her computer reminded her of her next appointment.

She took her tote bag and headed out of the building.

In front of it she would met for swimming with Michiru but as she walked out she was greeted by all the Outer Senshi, whom presented her a gift basket full with exclusive lotions, soap and similar things.

After a few minutes Haruka, Setsuna and Hotaru left for training as well and the two Senshi with powers associated with water went to the indoor pool.

An hour later she was back at her office, and just into the latest summary of the security situation within and outside of the Kingdom when it knocked.

Before she could even react the door was pulled open violently and a resplendent Minako stormed into the room, arms up, to hug it out with her friend.

After treating the blonde to a piece of cake and getting a gift, a voucher for a beauty spa, from Minako the blonde left again.

In secret Ami had to admit that she was delighted that apart from a few calls, Including Berthier who told her they should definitely get together for a game of chess soon, she was left working in peace until lunch.

To lunch the Mau, including a very curious Diana, asking what the gadgets in Ami's room all were, Chibiusa and Helios as well as Naru and her husband were streaming in and out of her office.

It was behind her regular schedule when she finally found time to eat and one of her subordinates brought her a few fresh sandwiches, the Intelligence Officer's favorite food, she hastily wolved down, while she kept working. And she indeed managed to finally finish some stuff for good.

Soon it was early afternoon, and her dad, a painter and artist just had called his beloved Ami-Chan and told her he probably would visit them soon, when it knocked on her door for another time.

Ami looked up.

"Come in Please."

The door opened and Rei, in her greatest mood and grinning from ear to ear, entered, closely followed and holding hands with a equally wide grinning SunTzu. Both were rather dressed casually.

Ami smiled, she was already wondering when the dream couple, officially labeled SunRei by the media now, would show up.

The genius got up, smiling and walked around the table right into Rei's open arms.

The two friends hugged as Rei congratulated her friend to her birthday. After they broke their hug a friendly smiling SunTzu gave her a hug.

"I got something for you," he said and produced a gift.

"Me as well." Rei chimed in and also brought out a package wrapped in gift paper.

"Unpack them" Rei abetted her fellow Senshi.

Ami couldn't decided which to open first.

"Open the one of TopGun first, it can't beat my gift at all." Rei told her with a smirk over to her boyfriend but immediately leaned over to SunTzu to give him a small kiss as reparation.

Ami opened SunTzu's gift.

"Hey, that's the current complete Edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica. How did you know, that I collect Encyclopedias?"

"The Soldier of Hotness here told me." SunTzu nodded towards Rei.

"And now open mine." Rei told her excited and Ami carefully unwrapped her gift.

It was a picture frame, with a photo inside.

Ami looked at the picture and went silent for a moment.

"I stumbled upon it again lately and thought that picture was worth of being kept in a special way." Rei stated.

The picture showed a group picture, depicting Ami, Kenji, Rei, SunTzu and the Commandos of Team 1 on the AT-AT-Swimmer Mercury's Revenge back when they fought the Kengal Corporation and it's owner on Glee Anselm.

The picture had been made by one of the Gressharks, right after Galactic Sailor Mercury wrecked the enemy's flagship and they had liberated Ryo.

"This is a beautiful picture, although we all were looking terrible." Ami sad after a long moment, staring at the picture. "Thank you Rei." Ami said, obviously moved.

"Happy Birthday Ames!" The black haired Senshi replied.

Ami hugged Rei again and the picture found a honorable place on Ami's desk.

"To never forget what we achieved back then." She said as she placed the picture on the desk.

Back then Ami, with the help of Team 1, had formed a pirate group and militia and had successfully lead them to victory against the mighty Corporation, that had been repressing the locals at the equatorial region of Glee Anselm and had kidnapped Ryo for weapon development as well. Rei, AICA and SunTzu joined the battle later as well.

"Glee Anselm sure was a trip." Rei told in reminiscence.

"Yeah." SunTzu nodded, thinking about it and then smilingly shaking his head.

"I'm just glad we somehow managed to get out of this alive and made the lives of the Anselmians better." Ami stated and her two good friends nodded. She sighed.

"Anyways, anyone wants cake?"

SunTzu had sat down in front of the desk and Rei didn't had bothered at all and sat down on his lap.

Ami observed the couple while they were sharing a piece of cake together, feeding each other and being even more in love and closer with each other than usual.

And then Ami had to smile, because of the warm wholesome feeling in her heart. Who would have thought that Rei would fall in love like that again.

The whole cost of the two lovers reminded Ami that she can't wait to see Ryo tonight.

Rei and SunTzu left soon after the cake. Both told that they should get something productive done today.

"I should take care of my political career."

"And I have a Fresian with an attitude waiting for me to visit her a the air base. See you tomorrow Ami."

"Goodbye Ami, have fun tonight and give our regards to Ryo."

The couple left the room and before the door closed, Ami could hear that Rei was telling SunTzu, although in a hushed voice, that she still had problems walking right and Ami had to wonder what these two had been doing again.

She shrugged and got back to her work, although with a smile. It had been a nice day and she saw or at least got calls from all of her friends. And she thought about Ryo and tonight. And her smile widened even more.
