Haruka leaned over the glass counter casually as she waited. Moments later, a woman appeared with a small bag in her hands. With a smile, she handed it over to the attractive customer. "Thank you for shopping with us." A well-versed line she most likely said over a million times, Haruka thought. She held on the velvet strings of the bag in her hand and walked out.

The day was beautiful with the sun shining and a few scattered clouds hung in the blue sky. A confident smile on her lips, she headed for her next destination. Today was a special day after all. Today was the day she was going to pop the big question! She couldn't wait to see Michiru's face go through all the emotions.

She planned everything perfectly. Nothing was out of place or forgotten. Dinner at the most popular and hard-to-get in restaurant that served a delicacy that Michiru loved, followed by tickets to a concert featuring her favorite artist, and finally the romantic carriage ride through the park where she will ask Michiru to marry her.

She was going to knock the socks right off her lover that Michiru would want to show her appreciation. Haruka fell into a daze as thoughts of what mood Michiru would be in after tonight. A small giggle escaped her vocal chords. She stood in front of the flower shop knowing that lilies were Michiru's favorite.

Haruka couldn't wait. Tonight was going to be rewarding for both. She found herself unable to hold back her laughter as her fantasies soon took over her. She threw her head back in laughter as people around her watched her with fear and slowly edged away from the blonde. A child stopped pointing to Haruka asking her mother what was wrong with that strange man. The mother just grabbed her child, pulling her away while telling her daughter to just simply look away and ignore him.

Michiru was at another fund-raiser for the 'destitute'. She stifled a yawn while leaning against the foyer wall. Snotty nosed aristocrats walked through the door to show the world how generous they can be. Voices drowned in her head as she patiently waited for the event to end. She glanced at her watch to find that it was nearing three in the afternoon.

Haruka told her as she was showering that she had something special planned for her so not to be late. The appointment was at six. Michiru hoped that the auction wouldn't last much longer. Knowing Haruka, she wouldn't be happy if she was late. A smile visited her face as she remembered the adorable look Haruka gave her while 'requesting' Michiru to squeeze her in for today.

An inside joke that started when they began dating. Because of their busy schedules, spending any time alone was near to impossible. Haruka and her had to basically plan months in advance to have a date or do anything together. They rarely spent any time in their real home but in other villas they owned, separated.

"And now, we will introduce a painting from Kaioh, Michiru. We will begin the bidding at…" Michiru knew that she needed to be in the room so she squared her shoulders and plastered on a smile. 'Let's get this over with.' She walked through the doors.

Haruka looked herself in the mirror for the umpteenth time. Wearing her tuxedo, she smiled as a sparked appeared on the corner of her mouth. 'Perfect!' She grabbed a square black box from the dresser and placed it inside her jacket pocket. Stealing a look at the clock in their bedroom, it was almost time.

'Nothing was going to ruin this perfect day. They had been dating for five years and had known each other much longer. Being sailor scouts and juggling busy jobs, they had to grow up fast. So, they took their relationship slow. Even living under the same roof, they applied rules to themselves that kept them from rushing into anything so recklessly. Hurdles of what seemed to be of never-ending trouble and problems tested their feelings and after the defeat of Galaxia only pushed them even further.

So many things happened from the day they met to now. Haruka smiled fondly as she reminisced. She could understand why most would assume that Michiru and her were dating from the beginning; it was only their sailor duties that brought them to be this 'close'. Sure, attraction was involved when they met and small crushes, but love wasn't even a consideration.

To playful banter and feigned jealousy was just a matter of course. They dated other people all the while continuing to keep the façade of them being an item to the world. Eventually after the fight with Sailor Moon to test if she could prove her worth to them, they departed. Unknowingly, they drifted closer to one another.

Gathering information on the newest threat to the earth, the seed of love was planted and took root. Once they confirmed the enemy's existence, a silent agreement was decided that they would allow the other scouts to handle it while they took some time off for themselves. Romance blossomed.

After dating for a few months, they returned to find the earth once more in danger. Outer scouts had invaded the solar system. Of course, Sailor Moon had to be her kind and sweet self, which saved the lives of many once more. Peace has once again reigned over the earth.

Taking full advantage of this new found peace, they pursued their professions and each other. Haruka ran a hand through her hair to give it that extra wave then headed out. Grabbing her keys off the end table, she headed for her sports car to pick up the woman she was going to share the rest of her life with.
