Do You Trust Your Beloved
One? Haruka & Michiru Break Up!
Usagi’s voice: A handsome guy shows his admiration to Michiru. At the same time, another girl is attracted to Haruka too! How is this going to end? Wait and see!
Two couples are talking at home.
Usagi: Michiru-san is going to have another join concert with you guys?
Seiya: Yes, and Chiyoko’s going to join us too.
Usagi (smiling excitedly): Really?
Chiyoko: Yeah, I’m going to accompany them: singing and playing the piano. I’ll go as Michiru-san’s friend to avoid all those press troubles.
Seiya: I gave the tickets to your friends already. Here are two tickets for you and Mamoru-san. He’s going to take you to the concert on Saturday because I don’t want you to be lost again.
Usagi (blushed and embarrassed): Hey! That was a mistake!
Chiyoko and Mamoru sweat-drop and smile embarrassingly.
Chiyoko: Seiya, I remember Haruka-san’s Formula One interview appointment is on Saturday too. Will Haruka-san be able to make it to the concert?
Seiya: Since our concert is held in day, Haruka-san said she’s not going to be there. After all, this is a great opportunity for her. Michiru-san understood and Haruka-san promised her to go to the field as soon as she finished the interview.
[Title Screen]
The concert was very successful. All the sailors and Mamoru and the two cats are in the dressing room back stage. And the fans are surrounding the Three Lights of course, which makes Usagi, who cannot talk to Seiya, very unhappy.
Usagi (to others): Why doesn’t Seiya-chan push them away?
Everyone has sweat-drops.
Chiyoko: Usagi, Seiya’s a celebrity. He can’t do such a thing. Otherwise, he’ll not be famous anymore.
Usagi (still unhappy): But he said he wouldn’t mind at all if he’s famous or not.
Chiyoko: If he still wants to sing in the public, he has to keep it that way. (Whispering in Usagi’s ear smilingly,) you know he only loves you and always put you on the top of his list, right? What more do you want?
Usagi (blushed): Yeah, you’re right. I’m sorry. I was being silly again.
Chiyoko (smiling): You’re forgiven.
Usagi (smiling): By the way, Chiyoko, your performance today was terrific.
The others admire and congratulate her as well. Just then, a good-looking man, who has black short hair and blue eyes, walks in with lots of pink roses. He walks towards Michiru and gives her the roses with a smile.
Guy: These roses are for you. I’ve admired you for a long time. I really enjoy classical music, and I especially enjoy your performance. You did very well today, but I think you were out of tune around the open of the second part. You should be more careful. I got to go. Hope to see you again soon. Bye!
After he left, all sailors, except the Three Lights and Mamoru, surround Michiru.
Usagi: Michiru-san, do you know that guy? Who was he?
Michiru: I don’t know him at all. But it seems he understands music very well. I did mistune. I should be more careful about it next time.
Meanwhile, Haruka has just finished her interview. She’s exchanging to her casual wear. She’s glad that she did great. She believes she’s going to get the Formula One driver contract. When she’s about to leave, she sees there’s a pretty girl with straight blond hair falls to her shoulders and blue eyes standing against the door.
Girl (smiling): Ten'ou Haruka-san, you did very well today.
Haruka is surprised to see a girl in the dressing room since there’s no other female driver joined today’s interview.
Haruka (coldly): Who are you? You’re not supposed to be here, you know?
Girl: This is a women’s dressing room. Why can’t I be here?
Haruka’s mouth is shut.
Girl (giggling): I’m Touma Yumi. I’m a car lover so I come to see car racing very frequently. (Becomes serious.) I really admire your way racing a car. I can see you really love cars and enjoy racing them. You put your heart into it.
Haruka is very surprised to hear that. There’s no one ever said something like that to her before, not even Michiru. Yumi understands her. Haruka becomes gentler.
Haruka: Thank you. I don’t hear that kind of admiration very frequently.
Yumi: Then am I qualified to be your girlfriend?
Haruka (blushed): What???
Yumi: Don’t lie to me. I know you like girls, and so do I. Could I be your girlfriend?
Haruka: I believe you made a mistake.
Yumi (smiles): I don’t think so.
Haruka ignores her and tries to get out, but Yumi steps in her way.
Yumi: Come on. I just would like to ask you if I’m qualified. If I’m not, please give me a reason.
Haruka: I already had someone…
Yumi (still smiling): Oh? That doesn’t mean I’m not qualified at all, right? And by the way, please think of a better excuse next time, huh?
Haruka (seriously): I mean it. She’s a very important and special person for me.
Yumi puts her hands around Haruka’s shoulders.
Yumi: And I can be a more special and important person for you, if only you give me the chance.
Then Yumi kisses Haruka’s cheek. Haruka is deeply blushed now.
Yumi (giggling): You’re very cute and attractive when you’re blushed.
Haruka pulls her hands down, still blushing.
Haruka: I got to go.
Yumi: I can give you a ride. You didn’t drive your car here, right?
Haruka (confused): How do you know?
Yumi (smiles): Guess it yourself. By the way, I’m surprised to see a driver who doesn’t drive her car around.
Haruka: My friends borrowed my car. They went for a concert.
Yumi (surprised): Concert? Your friends love concert? What about you?
Haruka: I don’t like it and I don’t hate it. It’s because of her…
Yumi: Oh? So your girlfriend loves concerts? Are you sure that you two are suitable for each other? Anyway, I’ll take you there. Let’s go.
Haruka is surprised to hear that. Yumi takes Haruka’s hand and leads her to the car.
Haruka (thinking): “Are you sure that you two are suitable for each other?”
In the concert hall, the concert has already finished a long time by now of course. The fans had already left. The sailors are stilling waiting for Haruka in the dressing room.
Michiru: What take Haruka so long? She’s supposed to be here already.
Chiyoko: Don’t worry. She’s possibly in a traffic jam, or missed a bus, or something like that only. After all, we borrowed her car. If she’s in danger, she’ll call us, right?
Minako: I think we should wait for her outside. I’m worried that if she saw the concert was over, she would go away.
Usagi: Mina-chan, why don’t you say it earlier?
When they’re walking outside, Yumi’s car has just arrived the concert hall.
Yumi: There you go.
Haruka: Thank you.
Haruka walks out the door and Yumi quickly follows her.
Yumi: Wait!
Yumi goes to the other side of the car, standing in front of Haruka. Yumi hugs Haruka and kisses her cheek good-bye.
??? (shocked voice – some of the girls): WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Haruka and Yumi turn around. Everyone is shocked looking at Haruka and Yumi. Michiru has tears in her eyes and Chiyoko is holding her. Haruka is blushed and she quickly pushes Yumi away. Yumi is not angry at all and still smiling. She notices Michiru’s tears and immediately knows she’s Haruka’s “special” person. She gets into her car, starts the engine, and gives Haruka a flying kiss.
Yumi: Bye! Haruka-chan, see you later!
Then Yumi leaves. Everyone is still in shock except Michiru, who is very angry and leaves without saying a word. Everyone doesn’t know what to do so no one moves. Meanwhile, Nicole turns a violet and a freesia into two girls. Violet has light blue long hair and blue eyes, and is wearing blue bikini and blue short boots with white and red ribbons around her body. Freesia has white long hair and black eyes, and is wearing white bikini and white boots with yellow ribbons around her body.
Nicole: Violet, Freesia, I’m very disappointed by those before you. I hope you won’t do the same thing. I need the right Hope and Love Crystals as soon as possible.
Violet and Freesia: Yes, your highness. You’ll see them very soon. We won’t be as stupid and useless as them.
Nicole: It’s better like what you said.
[CM Break]
Everyone, except Victoria, Hotaru, Haruka, and Michiru, are sitting around in the living room of Chiyoko’s house.
Usagi: What should we do now? They’re still angry at each other.
Rei: It was your fault. Why did you tell Haruka-san about the roses?
Usagi: I told her that because I wanted to make her jealous – Michiru-san had admirers too. Anyway, let’s get back to the question. What shall we do now?
Setsuna: I say we do nothing. We didn’t do anything for Mamoru-san and you.
Usagi and Mamoru look at Seiya and Chiyoko uncomfortably.
Usagi: Hey! Don’t get us into this!
Ami: This time is different from last time. We understood their (pointing to the two couples) situation but we don’t know what’s going on between those two. They seem to still care about each other but just too proud to say anything. We’re not going to do anything or give any advices. But at least we should know what’s going on, right?
Usagi (pouting): Hey! I said don’t get us into this!
Everyone ignores her, except Seiya. He squeezes her a little and gives her a smile. Usagi smiles back and stops saying anything.
Minako: But who’s gonna talk to them?
Makoto (smiling): The most experienced couples of course!
Everyone looks at Usagi, Chiyoko, Seiya, and Mamoru.
Chiyoko: Let’s go to their house and discuss the next step later.
Everyone nods. They then leave to the outers’ house. They arrive there shortly.
Usagi: Who should go first?
Everyone has sweat-drops.
Rei: You look like you’re going in a ghost house. Why are you so excited?
Usagi: Hey! I was just…
Chiyoko: Ok, ok, we don’t have the time to let you guys have a fight. We go to talk with Haruka-san first. After all, we don’t know what’s going on between her and that girl. Then we will decide how to talk with Michiru-san.
Everyone agrees. Then the two couples stand in front of Haruka’s room and Usagi knocks the door.
Usagi: Haruka-san, it’s me, and Seiya-chan, Chiyoko, and Mamoru-san. May we come in?
Haruka: Sure.
Haruka is lying on the bed. The two couples exchange glances and sit on the floor.
Usagi: Haruka-san, you know what we come here for so why don’t you just tell us what’s going on?
Haruka: Nothing.
Mamoru: When we saw you and that girl, it didn’t look like nothing.
Haruka: I just met that girl. I didn’t drive my car to the interview so she gave me a ride. She…(blushed)…she did ask me to be with her. (Two couples are shocked with wide eyes.) But I refused. (Two couples exhale with relief.) She just kissed me good-bye. That was what you saw.
Chiyoko: Then why didn’t you tell Michiru-san the truth?
Haruka: She should trust me.
Usagi: You didn’t trust her either.
Haruka: I was angry when I heard what you said. But when I thought about it, it didn’t mean anything. I may be jealous still but I trust Michiru. But you know I won’t feel comfortable to tell her my feelings. I don’t know how to do it.
Chiyoko: What do you mean that you don’t know how to do it? Just tell her.
Seiya: Haruka-san, do you remember what I said to Odango when she was fainted?
Haruka nods. Chiyoko and Mamoru smile. Usagi is blushed, looking at Seiya.
Seiya: We’re much the same type of people so I understand what you’re thinking. But if you don’t tell her your feelings, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life. Believe me you will. I almost did. So don’t let it happen to you.
Chiyoko and Mamoru hold hands and look at Seiya and Usagi smiling. Usagi hugs Seiya and kisses his cheek.
Usagi (whispering in Seiya’s ear): Thank you. I love you Seiya-chan.
Haruka looks at them with amazement. Then she smiles.
Haruka: You’re right, Seiya-kun. I’m going to tell her.
But when the two couples and Haruka knock Michiru’s door, there’s no reply.
Usagi: Isn’t she in her room?
Haruka: She should be.
Actually, Michiru went out for a walk and met Yumi accidentally. They’re talking.
Yumi: You made a mistake. I should not give up. You’re not good enough for her.
Michiru (surprised and confused): What do you mean?
[Flashback]
When Yumi was driving Haruka to the join concert, they had a little talk.
Yumi: So, are you going to let me be your girlfriend?
Haruka: No, I’m not going to, and I’m very positive about it.
Yumi: Why?
Haruka: Although Michiru and I are different in many ways, we like each other and we care each other. We have shared many things together. Our lives stick together. I’m not going to leave her for you or anyone else. I don’t even like you.
Yumi: Um, I see. So that means you love her.
Haruka: Sorry but I believe I made myself clear enough.
Yumi (disappointed): Yes, you did. Alright then, can we still be friends?
Haruka (smiles): Sure, after all, we share the same interest, right?
Yumi (smiles): Um, you got my phone number so call me whenever you want.
[End of Flashback]
Yumi: You’re not good enough for her because you didn’t trust her and you misjudged her. You should at least listen to what she would say, don’t you think? Anyway, I don’t want to talk with you anymore. See you.
Then Yumi leaves and walks around a corner. Michiru quickly recovers from her shock and follows her. But when she reaches the corner, she sees Violet and Freesia, and many people, including Yumi, lying down on the ground. She quickly steps back.
Michiru: Neptune Crystal Power, make up!
Then Neptune jumps out in front of Violet and Freesia with her line.
Neptune: Who are you? And what are you doing here?
Violet: Do you think you’re qualified to ask me this?
Violet and Freesia put up their hands and let the ribbons go to Neptune.
Uranus: World Shaking!
Fighter: Love Crystal Divine Light!
Violet and Freesia are forced back. The two couples and Uranus are there in time. Uranus quickly runs to Neptune and holds her in her arms.
Uranus: Are you ok?
Neptune: I’m fine.
When Neptune sees how Uranus cares about her, she realizes that she was so stupid to be angry with Uranus. The two couples smile looking at them.
Freesia (sniffs scornfully): Human are so stupid!
Eight sailors turn back their attention to their fight at hand.
Protector (smiling): We still have a job to finish here, right, Sailor Moon?
Moon (nods): Of course! Hope Crystal Eternal Light!
Fighter: Love Crystal Divine Light!
Protector: Hope Crystal Divine Light!
The attacks from Violet and Freesia are destroyed, and so are they.
Uranus: Like I said, these babes aren’t very strong. What do they really want?
Protector, Fighter, and Tuxedo Kamen exchange glances but no one sees that. They transform back to their normal forms. Then Haruka turns to Michiru.
Haruka: Are you sure you’re ok?
Michiru: Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Haruka, I’m sorry. I was being so foolish. I’m really sorry about that.
Haruka’s surprised to hear that. But when she discovers Yumi’s there too, she notices Michiru was already told the truth.
Haruka: It’s ok. Well, (blushed,) I’m sorry too. I didn’t tell you that I… I like you and made you unsecured. Well, I… I do. I really do.
Michiru’s eyes are filled with tears and they hold each other. The two couples look at them smiling. The two girls even have tears in their eyes.
Chiyoko: Let’s give the lovebirds a private moment. Shall we?
The three others nod and then they leave.
Violet: I’ll always be true, faithfulness, virtue, etc. (white, blue, violet, purple, etc.)
Freesia: trust (white)
Last episode before Christmas, many of you might immediately come up with this question: You said Mamoru and Usagi were meant to be because they didn’t share common interest, then why Haruka and Michiru are okay. What do you mean by that?
Well, there’s no way that in this world there’re two people that share exact same thing and really perfect to each other. This is a real world. I told you guys a long time ago that I don’t fall for that “prince and princess live happily ever after” bullshit. And I hope you guys won’t either. This is going to damage your relationship, especially marriage. Since there’re no two exact the same people, each one of us has to find a way to negotiate and compromise with your other half whenever you two have conflict. I think I mentioned one thing in the last episode. The problem with Mamoru and Usagi weren’t just common interest. It’s that they were too comfortable with each other, and their relationship. Yes, they were too comfortable that they didn’t put heart and time to work on their relationship. I agree that trust is an important element in a relationship, but I also think that a little jealousy may give the relationship a little chemical, which is a good thing. What I mean is, you can be jealousy, but you have to trust him/her at the same time. Still don’t get it? Well, it’s hard for me to explain it in my second language. But don’t worry. You’ll get the sources very easily. After all, I didn’t come up with all these all by myself, right? Read more books and find it.
Finally, before I go, about that adding new guys thing. Many of you said I should add five new guys for Rei, Makoto, Yuko, Keiko, and Akiko separately. But I think it might make the story a little too long and boring. Imagine I have to add five new episodes to explain their personalities and five new ones for their romances, and they’re (except Rei and Makoto) someone you’ve never seen. I’m worried they may not be that interesting as you may think when you actually read them. So here’s what I’m thinking: I still add five new guys, but I won’t make separate episodes for each one of them. I’ll explore their personalities in other episodes that are already in my plan. And about the romance part, I’m going to start them, and like the personality thing, I’m going to start them in the existing episodes. If you guys are really interested after all these, maybe I’ll add back the whole romance thing in the “movie” that I’ve planned for Sailormoon Sailor Universe (although I haven’t got a clue what I’m going to write exactly). So, what do you think? Please let me know.
P.S. due to personal problems, I'll not be able to reply your mails until Christmas. You may still send me mails. Just please be patient for my reply that's all. Finally, maybe a little early, but...MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ^.^
