Love Story

Haruka left the ball shortly after that. She just did not feel like being around others. "I knew that I shouldn't even have come," the young princess said to herself as she walked to her bedroom. As soon as she got to her bedroom, she took off the jacket and unbuttoned her shirt. Haruka knew that she was not going back to the ball and she was sure no one noticed that she was missing. She laid down on her bed and fell asleep.

The next thing that Haruka knew was the loud sound of doors slamming. She figured that her parents must be fighting again. She rolled over to see that it was early afternoon, which was weird because she never slept that long. Secretly, Haruka hoped that she was not catching a cold. She hated being waiting on hand and foot.

"Maybe I should get up," Haruka sighed. "I have to find Michiru."

It took another ten minutes for the Uranian princess to get up out of bed. Once she was up, she prepared for her day. Haruka had already decided her task, which was to find out where Michiru was from. As soon as she had gotten dressed, the blonde-haired teen left her bedroom.

"Do you honestly think that our daughter would do something like that?" Haruka heard her mother yell as she rounded the corner to the dining room. "I don't think that it was her fault this time!"

"That's just it!" Haruka heard her father exclaim. "It wasn't Haruka this time! How do we know it wouldn't be her fault next time?"

"It isn't my fault ever," Haruka said as she walked into the room. "I was just getting to know Michiru. I don't understand why everything is always blamed on me. I didn't do anything wrong." The young princess didn't understand why most things were her fault. Maybe she liked her space and maybe she dressed differently from other girls, but that did not mean that she wasn't a girl too.

Haruka hated listening to her argue. In public, they acted like nothing was wrong; however in private, they were at each other's throats. She ended leaving the dining room since she knew that she was not going to find any answers there.

Haruka had spent several hours looking through the logs that her planet kept. She never really understood the need to keep track of who came from other planets, but figured that it was a pre-cautionary procedure. The search turned up nothing, but Haruka did find it interesting that the Neptune Royal Family had bought three people instead of the usual two.

"I wonder," Haruka whispered as she stared at the page, "could Michiru have been from Neptune? She did seem to like ocean colors." It was the best guess and the only one that she had.

Michiru had been annoyed and angry since she had returned home from Uranus. She wanted to get to know the other girl better. Michiru, also, wondered if she had been getting treated the same way.

"Michiru?" The young princess looked up to see her mother. "Sweetie, your father and I need to talk to you."

It was one of those times that she wished her bedroom door locked, "What about?"

Her mother glared, "You know what."

"Oh," Michiru just nodded before following her mother out of her room and into the throne room. She was not sure why her parents wanted to talk to her about what had happened two weeks ago.

Once they entered the throne room, Michiru heard her father say, "You are still in line to be Queen someday. Therefore, you have to start acting like it. We are going to be holding a ball on your sixteenth birthday. That is when you will announce you marriage."

Michiru felt all the color in her face drain, "What marriage?" She was trying to keep her composure, but it was difficult, especially since she had never heard of this before.

"You will need to find an eligible suitor. We will not have you running around like an irresponsible young woman."

The young princess looked to her mother and saw that she agreed with her fatter. Michiru did not understand why her parents would do this. Finally, Michiru said, "I understand."

"Good," the King of Neptune said, "now get out of my sight!"

Michiru did as she was told and left the throne room with tear-filled eyes. She was not going to let anyone see her cry. As soon as she got to her room, she collapsed on the floor and cried.

It had taken a month for Haruka to find a way to get to Neptune without being caught, but it had been worth it in the end. The Uranian Princess was now standing on a truly, beautiful planet. Haruka did not know exactly how she was going to get to the palace, let alone find out if this is truly where Michiru was from. She was a little afraid to be here only because she did not want to stand out or let people know who she was. The rumors about her were always harsh, but the rumors from people of Neptune were the worst. Haruka decided to not let that ruin her trip and she began to wonder just how she could find Michiru.

After about ten minutes of wondering, Haruka heard soft music being played. For a couple of seconds, the sound captivated her. Once she was able to regain her senses, she followed the sound to a small clearing by a pond. A smile instantly lit up the young princess's face.

And I said,

"Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.

"Michiru!" Haruka blurted out, which made her feel like an idiot.

Michiru was slightly annoyed with the interruption. She had come outside to escape people and be by herself. After a few moments, she opened her eyes and smiled, "Good afternoon Haruka."

"I'm sorry for the interruption."

Michiru shook her head, "No, its fine." She just couldn't stop smiling, which scared her because she did not understand why. "You really shouldn't be here."

"Why?" Haruka was a little hurt by that. She had gone out of her way to find the other girl. "Do you have something special going on today?"

It was at that moment that Michiru remembered she was in her formal attire. "Yes, the court is making announcements today. As the princess I must go."

Haruka sighed, "Do you want me to accompany you?" The young princess knew that her black pants and white button down shirt would match perfectly to the light pink dress that Michiru was wearing. "Because I would be honored to," Haruka knew that she would get caught being here, but if she was Michiru then it wouldn't matter.

"I can't," Michiru felt horrible, "but if you want to you could meet me back here later tonight."

"Are you sure? Because I have heard the things that your father has said and I would not want to endanger you."

Michiru smiled, "Then I guess this will be out little secret."

"Secret, huh?" Haruka saw that other girl nod, "I like that idea."

"So I'll meet you here later tonight around ten?"

"Deal," Haruka said as she watched the cerulean-haired girl walk away. Haruka could only imagine what she was getting herself into.

I'll be waiting; all there's left to do is run.

The rest of the day seemed to pass slowly for the both of them. Haruka had been sitting under a tree when she heard her name called. She looked to her left and smiled when she saw Michiru.

"Good evening Michiru," Haruka said as she stood up. "How was the court?"

"Long and boring," Michiru replied as she walked over to the water's edge. "The last time I feel like you didn't tell me much about you."

"What is there to tell?" Haruka walked over and sat down by her new friend. "I'm obviously the most rumored princess in the galaxy."

"But besides the rumors, which are not true at all, what is it that makes you who you are?" Michiru wanted to her to know her friend as well as she possibly could in one night. "All I know is that you're a princess, but you act like a prince should. You like to flirt with women and the rumor is that you have already had sex with the majority of your maids." As soon as Michiru said that, she saw Haruka look at the ground. "I don't think that last one is true though."

Haruka sighed, "What about the rest?"

Michiru shrugged, "Hmm…I guess it doesn't bother me too much."

"Really?"

Michiru giggled, "Yeah, really, because it just makes you unique."

"You want to know more than that?" Haruka saw her friend nod. "Let's see…I like to run and work out. It helps to keep me stress free and in shape."

"That's why I like to play the violin. It helps to calm me down. I've been playing it a lot lately."

"I'm sorry about that. Do you want to talk about it?"

Michiru lightly smacked Haruka's arm, "Nice try at a subject change."

"Can't blame me for trying," Haruka laughed. "People call me irresponsible, but I do a lot of things on my own. My parents don't care too much. They would rather have the maids or the guard watching me."

"I understand that. I'm irresponsible now, which I still don't understand."

"How are you irresponsible? I mean besides sneaking out of the palace."

"First there was talking to you and before you say anything that is why my father said. Second of all, I have to find an eligible suitor by my sixteenth birthday."

"I'm seeing the irresponsible side now," Haruka laughed at that because that was downright dumb in her book. She did not understand why Michiru's parents would make their daughter do something like that. "I guess we just have to make sure that doesn't happen."

Michiru nodded, "Yeah, I'm really not wanting the whole marriage deal too early."

The rest of that night the two princesses sat and talked. It had taken only one night for them to become the closest for friends. When the sun started to rise, Michiru stood up.

"Where are you going?"

"I have to go back to the palace before anyone notices."

"Oh," Haruka had forgotten about that. "Do you want me to walk back with you?"

Michiru smiled, "I thought you would never ask."

Haruka escorted Michiru back to the palace. She did not realize how big it was. Michiru was glad to see that the outdoor works had not started their day yet. It made her happy that she could spend a few more moments with Haruka.

"I suppose I should be going," Michiru stated. "When are you going to come back and see me?"

Haruka smiled, "I'll let you know, but maybe next month."

"Send letters so that we don't lose touch."

"But how?" Haruka had been excited with Michiru mentioned that. "I don't want to get you in trouble."

"Just send the letters to me through the normal mail system between planets." Michiru had to admit that this was going to be difficult, but it frightened her to think that she wouldn't be able to talk to Haruka anymore.

"I will."

Michiru hugged Haruka, "I'll see you in awhile then."

"Yeah," Haruka returned the hug for a few minutes. "Bye Michiru!"

"Bye Haruka!" With that said, Michiru ran off toward the palace.
