Hello Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed chapters 1 and 2! Now it's time for chapter 3 to make its debut:)

Disclaimer: I don't own Sailor Moon….damnit!

ON WITH THE STORY!

ChibiUsa stood in front of the Outer's mansion looking right at the heavy oak door that would open up to the inside of the enormous house and lead to the one who awaited her…Hotaru.

Frozen in place, ChibiUsa could hear nothing but the thundering of her heart and the rambling of her nervous mind. 'What if's' abounded, demolishing what was left of ChibiUsa's already waning courage. Until, with a tremendous effort, she rang the doorbell.

KRASH!

"Ow!"

From inside the gigantic house Hotaru's voice echoed as she put her cut finger into her mouth. Trying to relieve her nervousness, Hotaru had tried to do some chores…starting with the dishes.

'Bad idea!" She thought wryly as she grabbed a band aid on her way to open the door and let ChibiUsa in, only to find the pink haired girl already in and coming towards her with a worried look on her face.

"Hotaru! Is everything alright! I heard a crash and then you yelled out. I was so worried that I let myself in; I hope you don't mind."

Gently the young princess took the bandage from Hotaru's limp fingers and opened it. "Hold out your finger Taru-chan."

Automatically the pale appendage was brought out into view and wrapped in the purple flowered band aid that Michiru had bought thinking how well the color went with her daughter's eyes.

However, that wasn't what brought Hotaru out of her daze that took her over when ChibiUsa had suddenly shown up in front of her. What the 16 year old did next was what jolted the violet eyed young woman out of her trance.

After bandaging the slightly bleeding cut, ChibiUsa looked into unfocused, shocked amethyst eyes, smiled, and kissed the finger gently.

Hotaru gasped sharply at the gentle touch and loving look in the ruby eyes of her princess. "ChibiUsa…?"

Gathering her courage, ChibiUsa leaned even closer to the pale older girl and gave her a hug. "I do love you Hotaru!" Kissing the still girl's cheek, ChibiUsa gazed into painfully hopeful violet eyes and found Saturn watching with equal desperate hope that her wishes and dreams might now become truth.

"And I love you too…Saturn!"

Amethyst light exploded from the dark haired photographer's body, engulfing everything and caressing the silvery pink aura surrounding ChibiUsa, creating a blanket of warmth that sent charges through the future princess's body.

Pale arms wrapped around the small waist and pulled in until Princess and Senshi were flush against each other. Rose pink and jeweled violet light intermingled and twined around the two teenage figures. As a result of staring into each others eyes while so close there were only four inches between their lips.

Four inches which rapidly became zero inches. The kiss was light and gentle befitting their first kiss but right behind the tentative gentleness was the need to give and take as much love as possible. Quickly the kiss became more intense and strong hands gently wandered to sides, arms, backs, chests, and back again in a cycle of exploration neither had made before.

A breathless voice echoed in the hallway accompanied by small moans and erratic breathing. "I love you too ChibiUsa…Princess."

The kissing, feeling, and moving resumed as the girls wandered towards a soft surface where they can sit and stay to continue their exploring of these feelings and sensations…only to be interrupted by the phone's jarring shriek in the mostly quiet house.

Both teenagers glared bloody murder at the telephone which happened to be on the table in front of the couch they had collapsed upon.

Totally oblivious to the evil thoughts sent its way, the phone kept on ringing and wouldn't stop! With an exasperated sigh and a slight growl, Hotaru answered the person cutting into her time with ChibiUsa…man, was the fur going to fly!

'We should kill this person then destroy this thing so nothing will interrupt again!' Even Saturn, one of the most patient and calmest of Senshi, was frustrated. Come on, who wouldn't be! Especially if the one you loved for so long loved you back and was waiting to show how much they love you.

'We can't do that but I will disconnect the telephone when I hang up!' Hotaru reassured 'herself' as she picked up the annoying device.

"Hello?"

"What took you so long to answer Hime-chan?"

Dryly, Hotaru responded. "I was a little…distracted."

ChibiUsa had finally gotten her heartbeat and breathing under control but when she heard that comment she burst out laughing while blushing madly.

Watching her beloved laugh and blush, Hotaru missed the next question until her name was literally shouted through the receiver the 10th time.

"HOTARU!"

ChibiUsa quickly pointed at the phone still giggling. "Oh! Yes Haruka-papa?"

There was silence on the other end then Haruka spoke again. "…Hotaru, who is there with you?"

"ChibiUsa is here."

Wrong thing to say! Hotaru could just see the smirk form on her 'papa's' face. "Ohhh….ChibiUsa's there huh? Well, what was so distracting for you two that it took 5 minutes for you to answer the phone?"

Hotaru and ChibiUsa blushed hotly and Hotaru retorted, "It's none of you business!" Haruka chuckled then shrugged on the other side of the line and decided to let it go…for now. She had another matter to discuss anyway.

"What about Usagi? How is she doing?"

Remembering the original intent of ChibiUsa's visit, Hotaru implemented the plan she told her recently confessed love she had.

"Usagi is not here and neither is she doing so well."

Immediately, three voices sounded through the phone, frantic to know what was wrong with their princess. Hotaru held the receiver away from her ear after the explosion of voices, wincing in pain. ChibiUsa grabbed the phone and told the three Outers of the circumstances.

"Calm Down! It's nothing life-threatening! Usagi is just extremely lonely and depressed…she misses everyone but won't say anything. Even to me."

"Small Lady, why didn't you call us when you first noticed or at least tell Usagi to call?"

"Because Puu, Usagi didn't want to call and I agreed, at first, with her reasoning."

On the other end, Michiru spoke up. "Which was?"

"She wanted you guys to live as normal live as possible and follow your dreams before you had to fulfill your duties to her."

"…"

ChibiUsa continued over the quiet of the older women. "But now she is really feeling the absence of all of you and I didn't know what to do to cheer her up, so I talked to Hotaru and asked for help."

Speaking up from behind ChibiUsa, Hotaru told her parents her plan. "When Chibi-chan had told me about Usagi's loneliness and needing all of you to be here, I was going to call everyone and arrange a surprise for our Princess."

Haruka's husky voice once again traveled through the phone. "What did you have in mind Hotaru-chan?" Speaking to both her parents and beloved, Hotaru laid out the plan for the surprise.

ChibiUsa then asked how the women where liking America. Haruka went off into a rant about the racing matches she participated and won in. Michiru was describing how elegant the concerts she attended and performed in were. And Setsuna was marveling over the scientific things NASA produced.

After they ran out of things to tell their 'daughters' they grew quiet then Haruka once again spoke for all three of the older women. "We're ready to come home…we miss her too."

ChibiUsa and Hotaru both smiled warmly and cuddled some more. "Then get the plane tickets to be here in a week; two days before June 30, and meet ChibiUsa and I at the Hikawa Shrine with the other girls. And no telling Usagi!"

Setsuna, Haruka, and Michiru chuckled in joy at the thought of a surprise being set for their Princess. "Right in time for her birthday and yours ChibiUsa. We'll be there!"

"We'll see you in seven days papa and mamas! Goodbye!"

"Try to keep our Princess as happy as possible until then."

"We will Puu. Bye! Love you all!"

"Have a good time you two." "See you soon Hime-chan, ChibiUsa-chan!"
