A/N: Gonna be super busy and I've caught a bug or something over the weekend, so I'm really, really sick at the moment. The least I could do is to give you a new update. I hope this fever/allergies/sore throat will go away. Well, please read and review! Thanks!

To stuff her face or to sit in a dark room?
Serena pondered on that itsy-bitsy question. She didn't like dark spaces, nor did she like the scary scowl on her lover's face. What was a moon princess to do? She had to sacrifice one over the other and she liked the food idea the best. Her grin turned into a wolfish smile as a strand of drool leaked out the corner of her slightly parted lips. She was thinking of a huge, juicy hamburger steak with gravy.
"Serena?"
"Huh?!" Serena realized she was in her room, kneeling on her bed with her legs trapped under her. She saw the sandy blonde at the entrance of her room, she saw the wet strands of hair and concluded that the older woman had gotten out of the bath.
"You're drooling, should we get that checked at the doctor's? It might be something contagious. I don't want to catch it," the sandy blonde joked. Serena caught the hint of it and fumed throwing a pillow at the older sailor senshi only to be blocked by the door.
"No, really. I think you should get yourself checked," Haruka stated who wanted to prolong her musing.
"HARUKA!!! I so do not need to get checked. I'm perfectly fine and I'm sane," Serena huffed.
"A few minutes ago you weren't," Haruka pointed out. The moon princess sneered and perked up,
"Oh, that offer last night . . . Could we postpone it some other time?"
"Why? Got other plans?" Haruka replied, her gaze narrowed slightly pinning the moon princess on the spot. Serena shook her head and looked away,
"No . . . I just . . . Why can't we watch movies here at home?"
"I want to go out, not stay in. It's too stifling," Haruka answered as she propped herself up against the door frame. Serena pouted, that was true.
"Tomorrow, at the Cinema Rise (1) 1:00PM. No later," Haruka replied and Serena gawked at her girlfriend. 1:00PM!!!!! That was around the same time the other sailor senshi had suggested that she meet them. Torn, she could only stare blankly as Haruka walked away from the door. There was no way she could be in two places at once and enjoy them both equally!

The next day Serena dragged herself down the stairs and sat in an empty seat waiting for whatever Haruka was cooking to be brought to her plate. Watching as an egg omlette slid onto her white plate, absentmindedly the blonde reached for the ketchup in the middle of the table and gave it some heavy squeezing. The bright, yellow omlette was now drenched in the red liquid. Haruka quirked an eyebrow at the disgustingly, rare masterpiece,
"You sure that ain't too . . . salty?"
"No . . ." Serena dug in, not as fast as she had been before. This time, she looked as though she had been fighting with an alien and lost.
"What's wrong, Serena?" Haruka wondered.
"Nothing," the moon princess whispered as she stabbed the omlette.
"You say it's nothing, but your eyes tell me something else. Now, what is it?" Haruka grounded out. Serena stopped her stabbing and looked up with tired eyes,
"Can't I hang with the girls today?"
"What are you guys doing?" Haruka asked.
"We're . . . going to a buffet," Serena replied. Haruka sighed, she knew that Serena could never pass up food.
"Fine, you may go."
Serena's blue orbs lit up,
"Seriously!"
"If that's what you want," Haruka gave up. Serena jumped up from her seat and began enveloping the older woman into a bear hug,
"I love you, Haruka! You're the best girlfriend anyone could ever have!!"
"Yeah, I get that alot," the sandy blonde droned. Happily, Serena went back to her breakfast and dug in only to scrunch her face in disgust,
"Ugh, too salty . . ."
Haruka smiled, there was her normal Serena. But she'd have to punish the moon princess severely for having cancel their "date". Haruka grinned as the moon princess got up and ran towards the front door waving happily before disappearing to meet with the other sailor senshi. Oh, yeah the punishment will be made severely.
