Thanks for the reviews again. Here's my one shot about Hotaru. I guess I'll write it from her point of view then. Can't wait to see how that will work.

Hotaru Becomes a Woman

It was a peaceful Saturday morning. When I woke up the first thing I noticed was that I had cramps. Major cramps. I clutched my stomach as I moaned and rolled over. Why did I have cramps? Was I sick? I had become so strong after Mistress 9 had left me. I hope she didn't possess me again. I didn't want to become the strange little weak girl again. I worked my way into the bathroom. I lowered my pajama bottoms and screamed.

"What's going on in here?" Haruka-papa asked as she, Michiru-mama, and Setsuna-mama all burst into the bathroom. God this was embarrassing. Here I was, a dieing child again and I couldn't even use the bathroom in privacy anymore. I looked back down at my pajama bottom and cried a bit.

"I'm dieing." I told them. They all looked confused. "I have cramps and there's blood in my pajama bottoms. I'm going to die!" I burst into tears. I looked at my parents through my tears. Haruka-papa had a shocked look on her face. She looked like she didn't want to deal with this. My two mamas on the other hand looked overjoyed about the situation. Do they hate me that much?

"Oh, my little girl is finally becoming a woman!" Michiru-mama burst out and began to cry. OK, maybe she did have some sympathy for me. But still, what did me dieing have to do with becoming a woman?

"Oh before you know it, we'll be grandparents." Setsuna-mama then said. Huh, was I going to have a baby and die right here? This is confusing.

"She won't be having any soon if I can help it." Haruka-papa said. Good, she'll save me from this horrible fate. Won't she? I can't take this confusion any longer.

"What's wrong with me?" I asked my parents. "Why are you all so happy? I could die from this!" They all looked at me sheepishly.

"Sorry about that, I guess in all the excitement we forgot to tell you what's happening." Michiru-mama said as she approached me. "To make it simple for now, you around going through a period all women go through every month." Great, I would die every month? I didn't like the sounds of that. Setsuna-mama then approached me with a pair of underwear.

"Hotaru, there are two ways women can deal with this. Today we'll teach you the simpler method, a pad." She told me. Michiru-mama went to the sink and pulled a box out of the drawer. She reached into the box and pulled out something wrapped in green plastic.

"This Hotaru, is a pad. We will now teach you how to put it on your underwear." She told me. Huh, why would I want something on my underwear? "You pull on this tab to open it. Then you place the sticky end on the crotch of you underwear like this." She demonstrates to me. She then hands me my underwear to put on.

"You'll need to change it when it filled with blood." Setsuna-mama told me. So, was this a bandage of some sort? Would it stop the bleeding and save me?

"So why don't you get dressed and come downstairs so I can explain this to you with the help of your Setsuna-mama and Haruka-papa." Michiru-mama says.

"You leave me out of this." Haruka-papa said. "I'm going for a drive." With that she left. I knew she didn't want to deal with it. I hope I'll be OK.

Once I was downstairs, Michiru-mama placed me at the table with her and Setsuna-mama. This sort of made me feel uncomfortable the way they were looking at me. They still looked too happy about this.

"OK, so Hotaru, welcome to puberty. This is the time of you life when you transition from being a little girl into a woman." Michiru-mama told me.

"And how do I become a woman?" I asked. Did I have to pass a test? I hope I don't since I never studied for one.

"You're body does the work. Everyone is programed when they are born to start the transition to adulthood at a certain age when they are born." Setsuna-mama told me, "For girls, it starts with breast development." I looked down at my chest that was starting to grow. "Another change is in the voice. You'll also start to grow hair on other parts of you're body besides your head." She continued. No, I didn't want to turn into a monkey.

"And the biggest part of becoming a woman is monthly menstruation." Michiru-mama finished. "But when you first start, it takes awhile for it to become monthly." So I had time to stop this before I did die?

"But why am I bleeding?" I asked. Maybe if I know why I'm bleeding I can stop it. I hope I can stop it.

"Hotaru, have you ever wondered where babies come from?" Setsuna-mama asked me. What did babies have to do with this?

"Don't they come out of women's bellies?" I replied. I thought everyone knew that.

"But do you know how they get there?" Michiru-mama asked me. OK, that I didn't know. I used to think they just magically appeared there. I shook my head no.

"Well, you see, once a girl reaches a certain age, she is able to have babies. To have a baby, the girl must be in a special relationship with a man. If she is not, all the blood and stuff that gathers in her uterus must be disposed of so the process can start again. So the blood coming out of you right now is what was gathered in your uterus." Setsuna-mama explained. I was still confused. Did I need to be with a man to live? But Michiru-mama was with Haruka-papa and she wasn't a man.

"Michiru-mama, do you bleed every month." I asked. Maybe there's a way for me to live with out being with a man.

"Yes, I do." She replied. Now to discover her secret.

"But you're not with a man. How can you still be alive? Why haven't you died of blood loss yet?" I asked. They both started to laugh at this.

"Hotaru, you're body does not need this blood to live." Michiru-mama told me. So I wouldn't die then? That was a relief.

"One more question, how long does the bleeding last?" I asked.

"Each month, it usually lasts for 5-7 days." Setsuna-mama told me. OK, how can I bleed for days and not die? This made no sense. I got up from the table to leave.

"Wait, don't you want to know more?" Michiru-mama asked me.

"No, I find this all to be disturbing." I said as I went to my room. I wish I could be reborn again so I wouldn't have to deal with this.

"I can't believe our little girl is finally a woman." Michiru-mama cried from the living room.

The End!

Well, sorry I made you sit through a sex ed lesson. I don't even know why I wrote about this. I find my opinion of puberty is more like Haruka's was in this. If I ever did have a daughter some day by miracle, I would not be the one to explain this to her. I didn't even want to hear about this when I started. I didn't even care. I still don't. I just call it a monthly bother. Well review.
