Ok, before I let you read this sweet at first, but then just plain crazy epilogue (I actually cracked up myself while writing it... and my mom's seriously thinking I've finally lost it... even my dog's looking at me like saying "what the hell is wrong with you this time?"), here's some things you probably need to know (or not...)

For Michiru's night gown, think Keira Knightley on "Atonement". You know, the dress she wore during the whole library (HOT!) sex scene? I just loved that dress! (and of course I love anything that's green) So that's what I was going for (kinda), but I did took some liberties and changed it a bit. And of course Michiru has bigger boobs. Don't get me wrong, I still think Keira Knightley's hot stuff! And anyone who disagrees with me on that one, is just blind and stupid! (I mean, honestly! Come on!)

For Haruka's dress, think Keri Russell on that "August rush" last scene. But yellow-gold, instead of white-silver. Don't you just LOVE that dress??? It's so elegant and sexy, but so simple! Too bad I can't wear a dress like that 'cause my boobs are too big! (guess where Makoto's trauma came from!)

About Haruka in general. I was going for the manga version. You know, where she dresses herself as a male, but still wears female outfits from time to time, just because she feels like it. I was trying to make her look kinda like Angelina Jolie on that "Tomb Rider" movie and her whole "I'm not a lady, but I'm still hot stuff and you know it!" attitude (although I truly, deeply DON'T like Angelina Jolie AT ALL! And I really DON'T think she's hot or pretty, UNLIKE the Haruka I was trying to describe here). Threw a little Kate Moennig in there (she's SO hot!) and the way she dresses in "The L word", and her deep sexy-sexy husky voice (sigh!), and you get the picture. So, hope I did a half decent job on that one...

Just for the record, my idea of a pretty girl is more like Rachel McAdams or Natalie Portman. And Kate Moennig, of course. And Pink. And Shirley Manson (SO in love with those two!). And my idea of a hot guy is Jake Gyllenhaal, goofy face and all, or Edward Norton (and he's a great actor too!). Oh! And Ryan Gosling! (so hot!) Or Johnny Depp on pretty much anything he does. And of course Axl Rose on that "sweet child of mine" video, with those tight leather pants, swinging his hips... so hot! (drooling here) I was SO in love with him when I was 9! (that explains a lot about me....). OK, babbling now! You get the point, right? I'm crazy, I know!

And I SO agree with Haruka's deep hate for shopping! I mean, come on! What a nightmare! I'm crazy when it comes to lingerie and shoes (really, I should get professional help for that), but I always know what I want and where to get it! I just get in, buy the stuff, and get out! FAST! What's the point on walking around, and trying clothes on that you're so not going to buy? BORING! And those crazy sales ladies? Dear God! Kill me now! (or them... preferably them!)

About Haruka-Mamoru relationship. I always thought those two are so alike, you know? They're both willing to do anything for the ones they love, and there's so many FF making the two of them hating each other that I wanted my own little twist to change that... At first I wanted to make Usagi and Minako twin sisters (imagine poor Haruka having two crazy blondes as little sisters!). But then Mamoru wouldn't have had such a meaningful part on the story, and so I asked myself, "what if they're brother and sister?". So, there you have it... the whole making Haruka confess scene was just me being mean to my favorite blonde, since the important part was the beach scene, when our sexy blonde just broke down and Mamoru was being the wonderful older brother we all wish we had!

About Haruka's little confession-speech to Michiru. I know some of you think it was way too easy for Michiru to get her back, and Haruka's speech was bittersweet. BUT! I have to say I've been on Haruka's shoes, when someone walks out on you without much of an explanation and you're just so lost and willing to do anything to make things right again, but deep down inside you're just scared, and hurt, and you don't really know if there's any hope left. And you just feel completely and utterly worthless. Add to that that our lovely blonde has been through that once already, only this time she's truly, madly in love with our aqua haired girl. And they only spent a week apart, so it's not long enough for our blonde to just pick her heart up from the floor and keep moving.

I'm mean, I know. But, hey! They get together in the end! After a really nice, good heartily, skin friendly, hot sex makeup session (did you know sweating, and there for sex, is a great way to make your skin clean and shiny? Don't waste your money on stupid lotions! Go out and have sex! It's a whole lot funnier than putting weird stuff on your face, anyway!)

And last but not least, The Family! Some of the arguments are based on my real, dysfunctional family. You should see us playing carioca (a card game), screaming at each other. My aunt telling my older brother he's a cheater (which is true!), and he would grin and say we're all just mad at him 'cause he's winning (which is NOT true, 'cause he's cheating!). And then my mom would say something like "I knew that lady was lying when she told me you'll be a nice boy when I first got you on that supermarket". And he would say we should all worship him, 'cause he's greater than God. And then my crazy redhead cousin would try to kick him under the table, only to end up hitting her knee hard, and scream out in pain leaving me half deaf, and I would tell her she's hopelessly clumsy (looks who's talking!), and then I would start singing some stupid song just to ignore them all... And a two year old girl would be dancing around us (my cousin's daughter), or chasing down a terrible almost three year old little nightmare I like to call my nephew (my sister's son)... You get the picture, right?

Some of the crazy conversation are based on me and my crazy, crazy friends. They successfully crack me up every time, talking about nothing at all and saying all kinds of weird, stupid things, like "I don't like him, he moans like a girl!" (WTF!) Or "I'm bored, let's go out and find some dicks!" (yes, one of them is constantly horny and seriously crazy!) I swear they're nuts! Love them anyway! (or because of that...)

Anyway! Thanks again for reading! I honestly didn't think I would get so many great reviews! (some of those from authors I actually read and like! Yay me!) I just wrote this down because the story's been jumping in my head for a while and I just HAD to write it!

Here's the epilogue! Enjoy!! Good luck to you all, and a million times thank you again!

Epilogue - Life is good!

The early morning sun bathed the bedroom from the opened balcony doors. There were two naked bodies laying in the bed, slowly waking up to the morning light.

She wrapped her arms around a soft, thin, naked waist, gently kissing a long white neck. And she smiled against the warm skin when she felt one hand messing with her hair, and another one softly making patterns on her bare back.

She rested her blonde head on the soft, warm chest of the girl laying next to her on the bed.

"Promise me you'll be here tomorrow" she whispered softly "Just like this"

Blue eyes looked at her. She knew what the blonde was talking about, and she felt painfully guilty upon hearing those words.

But she couldn't help herself from smiling down at her and say "Just like this? Just how insatiable are you? Honestly!" she joked.

The blonde looked up at her, smiling innocently.

"You really want me to answer that?" but then she grinned mischievously "It's not like I can help it. You're hot! What can a girl do?"

She giggled sweetly, and then gently guided that cute blonde head to rest upon her chest again, softly caressing her short locks.

"I'll be here for as long as you want me to" she answered the girl's first comment in a soft, lovingly low voice.

"How does forever sound to you?" the blonde looked up from her place on her chest.

She smiled "Not long enough"

------------------

She was lazily dozing off, enjoying the feel of the warm morning sun kissing her skin on the last days of the summer.

She could hear happy, childish laughter coming from the general direction of the pool, and the sound of splashing water.

She was laying on a resting chair near the pool, one long leg hanging off the armchair, happily resting on a soft pillow.

A pillow that was attached to a hand that was softly playing with her short blonde hair, another one had found its way under her yellow t-shirt and was now gently caressing her stomach.

There was also the definitive feeling of two round, perfect breasts right under her resting head, slowly coming up and down with a steady breathing movement. And there were two long, soft legs right at her side, coming from the pillow under her, that she was mindlessly caressing.

Life was good.

She had finally finished working with her baby, and she had won her last car race, as usual. She was an excellent piano player –or so everyone told her-, and she was taking care of her family.

This morning she had woken up –pretty much like she has been doing for the last month and a half- to the feeling of her current pillow wrapped around her body, the sweet, loving scent of long curly hair reaching her nose, and a soft, steady breathing caressing her neck.

And she was happily, madly, helplessly in love with said pillow.

A small, content smile reached her lips. A smile that got bigger when she heard her pillow talking to her.

"What are you smiling about?" was the question that reached her ears.

She opened her green eyes and tilted her face up, looking to the lovely, beautiful face of her girlfriend, and into her warm blue eyes. Soft aquamarine curls tickling her forehead.

Her girlfriend. The tall blonde woman was still amazed at that one. The great, independent, strong Haruka Tenoh had a loving girlfriend she was crazy about. Go figure! The only reason she knew for sure she wasn't dreaming, was the fact that not even her wildest dreams could ever do the beautiful, charming, sweet Michiru any justice.

"I was just thinking" she answered.

A perfect aquamarine eyebrow raised up "Oh yeah? What about?"

"You" she simply answered.

A warm smile reached those soft, perfect lips.

"Love you" Michiru whispered softly.

"Love you too, babe" she replied, before those perfect lips came in contact with hers, for a sweet, deep kiss.

"Would you two knock it off?" a female voice interrupted them "You're supposed to be watching the girls!"

Haruka looked at her sister, and then at the pool.

She could still hear laughing, and she could see a black little head, and a violet haired one. Hotaru was playing with her friend, both girls chasing one another, splashing around at the pool and laughing, and just being two happy little girls on a summer day.

"They're not drowning, they're ok" she said.

"'They're not'...? You're hopeless!" Minako exclaimed, raising her hands in the air "Can't you two spend five minutes without ravishing each other? Five minutes! It's all I ask!"

"What's going on here?" came Makoto's voice from behind the ravishing couple, as Minako had put it.

"These two being practically glued together!" Minako exclaimed, pointing at the couple "That's what's going on! Geez, get a room already!"

The brunette soon came to them, and took a seat right besides them. She then looked at her cousin and her girlfriend, both looking back at her with an innocent expression on their faces that the tall brunette was just not buying.

She turned to the younger blonde standing there.

"So? They're young, they're in love, and they're horny" the brunette said, making Haruka and Michiru both blushing "It's only normal, let them be. It's not like they're turning you on or something"

Haruka smirked at the last words, and Minako just blinked, surprised.

"What? Of course not!" she exclaimed, and then she narrowed her eyes "What side are you on?"

The tall blonde woman looked at her sister, and a sudden thought popped itself into her head, and she smiled. That tiny little devil inside of her coming to life again, and talking to her. Not that she was trying to keep it quiet, anyway, where's the fun in that?

"Oh, come on! At least I'm not the one snicking into the house at five in the morning and then trying to pretend I spent the night home" she said to her.

Again, Minako blinked a couple of times "How..." And she then blushed, deeply, and crossed her arms over her chest "I don't know what you're talking about"

"Oh, please!" Makoto exclaimed, faking annoyance "I live with one married couple, and a very horny one, and I sleep like a baby!"

"We have thick walls" Haruka mumbled. Michiru punched her in the arm "What? It's true!"

"But you!" Makoto continued, pointing at Minako, looking her up and down "You make so much noise every time you snick in, I swear you could wake up the dead!"

"I do not!" the young blonde exclaimed, offended.

"Um, yeah, you kinda do" was Michiru's comment "We actually have bets going on, trying to guess at what time she'll be coming home" she said to the brunette sitting on the chair next to her.

"Uh, sounds fun! I want in!" Makoto said "Or is it some kind of kinky bet?" she then added, frowning "'Cause if it is, I so don't want to know about it!"

"Makoto!" Michiru exclaimed, blushing again.

"What do you do all night long with dear old Kunzite, anyway?" Haruka asked her sister, trying to get the conversation back to the younger blonde girl, and off her bed activities with her girlfriend.

Minako blushed such a cute, deep shade of red, that if she had green hair she would of make a perfect tomato "We talk"

"Is that how you, young people, call it these days?" the brunette asked, grinning.

"Oh, I wouldn't call it that" Haruka said, grinning back at her cousin "Not according to that red face! Are you trying to make me an auntie?" she asked, looking at her sister again "Or you're just going for a record?"

"Shut up, dumbass! We do talk!" Minako exclaimed, embarrassed.

"Sweetie, you're burring yourself deeper" the aquamarine haired girl warned her, smiling at the poor young blonde.

"Unless they do talk" Makoto said at the same time, looking at Haruka "You know, dirty talk. During long, hot, sweaty sessions?"

"See what I mean?" Michiru said, pointing at the brunette.

"Oh, Kunzy, you're so sexy!" Makoto exclaimed, faking an out of breath, sensual tone of voice "Oh, yes, right there! Oh, my, you're huge!"

Haruka cracked up at that, laughing hard, and Minako just stood there, furiously blushing and incredibly embarrassed.

Makoto started moaning, grabbing the armchair with her hands and closing her eyes, rocking herself on the chair and tilting her head back.

"Oh, God, oh yes, Kunzy, yes!" she breathed "Harder, harder!" she was gasping wildly now "Do me hard! Holly shit!" she almost screamed.

"Are you done?" Haruka asked her, now actually getting embarrassed herself over Makoto's fake orgasm.

But when her cousin looked back at her grinning like a satisfied maniac, she quickly added "Was it good?"

"Oh yeah, totally worth it!" the brunette answered, fanning herself with one hand.

"Shut up, bitch!" Minako exclaimed "That's what you do with Nephrite!" she accused.

"Hey, at least I don't hide the fact that he fucks my brains out!" the tall woman said "And he's great at it! And he is huge, may I add!"

"Ok!" Haruka exclaimed, sitting up and raising her hands up in the air "Way too much information!" a set of arms got her back down, and she cuddled next to her girlfriend, looking for shelter on the aquamarine haired girl's stomach.

"Dear God, I'm gonna have nightmares for months!" she mumbled, shutting her eyes.

"Knock it off, you two" Michiru said, while softly caressing the now traumatized blonde's head "Let the poor girl be"

"Have you ever heard of the word privacy?" Minako exclaimed "You're all hopeless!" and then she walked away and inside the house, fuming over her crazy, crazy relatives.

"Is she mad? I think she's mad" Makoto said, looking after the young blonde "Oh, well... too bad!" she exclaimed, getting up and walking to the pool "Hey girls, wanna play pool volleyball?" she asked, smiling, and then took her t-shirt off, getting into the pool when the girls looked up at her and screamed happily.

"I think I need therapy" Haruka whispered, looking up to her girlfriend.

"That's what you get for being so mean to your sister" she answered her.

But when the blonde pouted cutely, she smiled at her and added, in a low, sensual tone of voice "Oh, don't worry, love, I'm sure I can come up with a way to make you forget all about it"

The blonde smiled at that "Promise?"

"Of course" she answered, smiling back at her and winking.

Haruka rested her head back on her girlfriend's stomach, still smiling, and wondering how long until she could get Michiru upstairs and to their bedroom.

A happy, content sigh escaped her lips.

Oh, yes, life was good.

Life was very, very good, indeed.

THE END!
