"Diana," Princess Saturn
said, surprise evident on her face. "You're in human form...any
special reason?" 

Diana flattened her gray a-line skirt
self-consciously. "Well...I asked Helios if he could make me a
charm that would keep me in human form as long as I wanted," she
replied, pointing to crescent moon shaped pendant at her chest. "It
took him a little while, but he managed something." 

"You look nice," she said.
Diana blushed a little self consciously and smiled. "You've
become an elegant young lady since I last saw you in human form."

"T-thank you," she replied.
"Though I think this dress is a little, well..." Diana
glanced down at the bell-strewn dress with it's thigh high stockings.
It still fit her perfectly, but it looked a little odd on a sixteen
year old girl, especially compared to the more mature clothing of the
other teenaged royalty in the palace. 

Princess Saturn laughed a little. "Why
don't we go shopping with Michiru? She has excellent taste. I'm sure
we could find something a little more suitable."

Diana hugged Saturn's arm. "Thank
you, Princess Saturn. That's very kind. We should ask Princess Lady
Serenity and her guardians along..."

Saturn laughed a little nervously.
"That's a lot of people with a lot of strong opinions," she
said. "I think it would be better if it was just the three of
us."

Diana looked a little nervous.
"But...are you sure they will not mind?" 

"I'm sure it will be fine,"
Saturn said, continuing to walk down the columned hallway and toward
her study. "Say, Diana..."

"Yes, Princess Saturn?" 

"Why did you get the amulet? Is
there a reason that you wanted to be in human form...?"

Diana looked nervously away from the
Princess. "Well...sort of, I guess. It's just...even though I
hang out with you and Lady Serenity and her guardians, well...I feel
sort of..."

"Forgotten?" 

Diana frowned. "It's just...I'm so
small, and...well...not having hands can be rather inconvenient, to
be perfectly honest. It's difficult, almost impossible to do all of
the things everyone else takes for granted. Playing sports, reading
books..." she blushed. "And, well..."

Princess Saturn smiled knowingly.
"Dating?"

"I know it's just a distraction
from my duties," she blurted out hurriedly. "But I see Lady
Serenity and Helios together, and, well...." she blushed. "They
just look so happy. I can't help feeling a little..."

Princess Saturn smiled sadly. "I
think I know what you mean, Diana. I'm sure Michiru-mama will pick
out clothes that make you look very nice." 

Diana blushed and smiled happily.


"Hmmmmm...." Michiru stared
at Diana in her bell strewn gray dress. "You're right to want a
change of pace, Diana. It looks a bit much like a fetish costume for
my tastes." 

"Princess Neptune!" Diana
said, a distinctly uncomfortable look on her face. "What a thing
to say!"

Michiru shrugged and gave a careless
smirk. "I just call it like I see it. And don't call me Princess
Neptune, we're out in public. I don't want people to know I'm
royalty."

"R-right... Ms. Kaiou." 

"Better. Let's see..."
Michiru browsed through the endless racks of clothing like it was
second nature. While Diana waited rather anxiously, Hotaru browsed
through some sun hats nearby. 

"This one is nice," Hotaru
said, plopping a white hat studded with orange flowers on her head.
It didn't really sit well on her face, however, because of the many
buns on top of her head. Hotaru took the hat off of her head.
"Hmm.... Why don't you take your hair down for a second?" 

"Okay," Diana said, unpinning
her buns and slowly unraveling her hair. It fell in long, neat waves
like her mother's did; it was looked soft and fine--almost too soft
for human hair.

Michiru turned away from the rack where
she had garnered several outfits. "You should braid that, or it
will tangle something awful. Trust me, I know." 

"Um, okay," Diana said. "How
do I do that?" 

Michiru handed the clothing off to
Hotaru temporarily while she hastily put Diana's hair into a neat
braid. "There you go." 

Hotaru put the hat back on her friend
and gave a satisfied look. "It looks really cute on you,"
she said. 

Diana blushed. "I don't know... I
probably look silly."

Michiru glanced aside. "No, it
looks nice on you. Here," she said, handing half a dozen outfits
to Diana, "try these on."

Diana looked a little taken aback. "All
of them!?"

"Do you have any clothes besides
that gray dress?" Michiru asked.

"...Well, no..."

"Then yes. All of them." With
that, she ushered Diana into the dressing room.

Diana felt more like a mannequin than a
girl by the time the whole affair was over. Michiru had helped pick
out about a dozen different outfits, mostly in shades of pale blue
and yellow. At Michiru's insistence, Diana changed almost immediately
into a a empire-waisted shirt and jean capris. 

"Well, my work here is done,"
Michiru announced, admiring her handiwork. Diana looked decidedly
more like teenaged girl in her twin braids and slacks and less like a
Mauan in human form. "I'm going to head back to the palace now.
Why don't you two have some girl time?" 

Hotaru looked thoughtful. "Well--"

"See you later!" Michiru
said, hurriedly walking off with a smirk. 

"...I'm not sure what
Michiru-mama's intentions are..." Hotaru said suspiciously. 

Diana looked a little awkward. "What
do you mean?" 

"Would you like to get a bite to
eat while we're out, Diana?" Hotaru asked. 

"Oh... well... if you don't mind,"
she replied, looking around nervously.

"Are you okay?" Hotaru asked.

"Everything looks so different now
that I'm taller," Diana admitted. "It's a little
disorienting, especially in a big city..."

Hotaru smiled. "It's okay,"
she said, taking Diana's palm, "just stay with me, and it'll be
fine."


Diana looked happily down at the cake
the waitress brought her. "Wow, it smells so good!"

"Didn't Chibi-Usa ever give you
any of her cake?" Hotaru asked, surprised.

Diana nodded. "But I couldn't
really taste sweet things," she replied. "So I have no idea
what it tastes like to a person." She excitedly took a bite of
the thick, rich chocolate cake. "Wow, I never realized sweets
were so good! This is amazing!" 

"Haha, take it slow, Diana,"
Hotaru laughed. "You should try to enjoy it instead of wolfing
it down. Want to try some of mine?" 

Diana looked interestedly at the fruit
tart Hotaru had ordered. "Well... I don't want to steal your
food."

Hotaru took a piece from her tart and
held the fork out to Diana. "Come on, just take it."

"Well... okay." Diana bit on
the forkful of tart happily. "Haha, now I wish I had ordered
that, too," she admittedly.

"We can come back tomorrow if you
like," Hotaru said, eating a piece of raspberry covered tart.

"Haha, I'll be as bad as Lady
Serenity with the sweets at this rate," she said, embarrassed.

Hotaru shrugged. "There's nothing
wrong with enjoying the simple things in life," she said. "I
sort of feel like... it's people who can enjoy all of the small
things that really have perspective."

"Like what? Besides food, I mean,"
Diana asked.

"Hmm... I guess..." she
looked out the café window. "Mostly, time you spend with the
people you care about."

"I think I know what you mean,"
Diana replied. "I guess it's because I wanted to enjoy those
small things that I wanted to stay in human form."

"Well, we'll have to spend another
afternoon together, then," Hotaru said amiably. 

"I'd like that," Diana
replied.


"Michiru-mama," Hotaru said,
walking into foster mother's office, "Why did you run off and
leave me with Diana?"

"Oh... are you angry?"
Michiru asked. "I thought you two would enjoy some alone time."

Hotaru glanced off to the side, toward
a large, ornate mirror on the wall that was bordered with flowers.
"Don't you think you're making kind of a big assumption about...
my preferences?"

Michiru looked surprised. "You
don't like girls? I had always gotten the impression... well, you
were awfully close with Chibi-Usa when you were younger. I know she
never felt that way about you, but..."

"Me and Chibi-Usa were just
friends," Hotaru replied. 

"Oh, I know, but... I think you
could have been more under the right circumstances."

"So what... now that Diana is
human, you think this is my chance at love?" Hotaru asked dryly,
sitting down in a teal chair by the door.

"You don't think Diana is a little
lonely?"

"Well, I'm just not sure..."
Hotaru looked aside and blushed. "I mean, she was jealous of
Helios and Chibi-Usa... and they're... you know..."

"Straight?"

"Right." 

"I don't think that necessarily
means anything," Michiru replied. "A romantic couple will
make you feel warm and envious, no matter their sexual orientation
compared to yours. The Sailor Guardians often said such things about
me and Haruka, and they're straight."

"Don't put foolish ideas in my
head, Michiru-mama," Hotaru replied.

"What's so foolish about dating
Diana? She's a sweetheart. You two would be cute together."

"I don't want to get all...
attached to the idea, only to find out she doesn't like girls,"
Hotaru said matter of factly. "There's no point in that."

"Well, maybe you should just spend
some time with her, and see where it goes," Michiru told her.


There was a knock on the door to
Hotaru's dim, table-lamp filled study.

"Come in," Hotaru said,
putting down her pen. 

"Hello, Princess Saturn,"
Diana said, sitting down on a sofa near her friend's desk.

"Oh... hi, Diana," Hotaru
said, smiling a little awkwardly. "Are you not studying with the
girls?"

Diana blushed. "I don't feel
good," she said. 

"You don't feel good?" Hotaru
was puzzled. Since the Queen and King took power and their crystals
kept the Earth healthy and utopian, people did not normally become
ill. "Maybe... you ate something that didn't agree with you
constitution? Too many sweets?" she said with a smile.

"I... I hope not," Diana
said. She looked a little feverish. "That would be rather
alarming." 

"Well, what are you symptoms?"
Hotaru asked, turning toward her friend. 

"Uh... it's kind of embarrassing,"
she said. "My abdomen hurts and... I'm bleeding... down there."

"Oh, uh..." she laughed,
relieved. "You're menstruating, Diana. That's perfectly normal."

"It is?" Diana seemed
embarrassed and shocked. "What do I do? I mean... it's kind
of..."

"It's not a big deal," Hotaru
said. She got up from her study and walked with Diana to the wing of
the palace where their bedrooms were located; leading her to the
bathroom adjoining her room, she explained what to do.

"I guess I'm kind of naïve,"
Diana admitted as she came out of the bathroom. "I can't believe
I never even..." she looked away, embarrassed. "Knew about
this."

"It's not a big deal," Hotaru
said. "I was here to tell you about it. And it's not like people
talk about it... girls are kind of embarrassed about their periods."

"I can see why," Diana said,
looking at the floor. 

"Is the pain very bad...?"
Hotaru asked.

"Y-yeah..." Diana admitted. 

Hotaru smiled. "I'll get you some
aspirin," she said, rifling through a drawer. "You can lie
down if you want." 

Diana looked a little relieved.
"Thanks," she said, climbing underneath the quilted
comforter of Hotaru's four poster bed. "I like your quilt,
Saturn. Where did you get it?"

"I got that in America," she
said, "When I was on a diplomatic visit. I guess that pattern is
called a snail's trail? I like how it sort of spirals off forever in
every direction." 

Hotaru brought her a glass of water and
a couple of pills. Diana sat up and looked down at the purple and
black quilt as she swallowed the aspirin. "Thanks for helping me
out, Hotaru," she said at last. "A few days ago, and this
time, too..."

"It's not a problem. After you lie
down for a little bit, we should get some lunch. You might feel
better after you've eaten something." 

"I hope so," Diana said.

"I think I have heated blanket
around here somewhere, too," Hotaru said, going into a closet
and fumbling around. "That always helps." Hotaru tore her
closet apart, but she couldn't find it. Maybe the maids had taken it
apart to be laundered...? Hotaru sighed, putting her hands on her
hips.

"Can you not find it?" Diana
asked, turning her face toward her friend.

"No..." Hotaru said, annoyed.
"I'll go ask the maids." she headed toward the door. 

"It's okay," Diana
interjected. "Don't trouble yourself. I'd...I'd rather you
stayed with me for a bit." 

Hotaru paused. "Well...okay."

"Maybe you could cuddle up next to
me, and that would make me warmer," Diana innocently suggested. 

Hotaru wasn't sure if she should tell
Diana the possible implications of her statement. She suspected that
Diana, being used to being a cat, didn't really think much of
snuggling up to a friend. Besides, she was still a bit young, and
snuggling with a friend wasn't that odd,
she supposed, in the right context. "...Okay," Hotaru
belatedly replied. She climbed under the quilt with Diana and hugged
her closely. "Is this good?" 

"Mm-hm,"
Diana said, snuggling against her. Hotaru could feel herself becoming
flustered, but she also felt happy pressed against Diana's soft body.
She stroked her friend's long, gray hair and closed her eyes. She did
not think she had ever been this close to anyone before, but it
filled her with an indescribable warmth.

When
Hotaru woke up, Diana had turned over and was spooning against her.
She realized, to her great embarrassment, that her palm had drifted
to Diana's lower abdomen. She quickly moved it away as Diana groaned
lightly and turned over.

"Hi, Saturn,"
she said sleepily, rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?"

"It's eight
o'clock," Hotaru replied. "We missed dinner." 

"Oh,"
Diana said, a little disappointed. 

"I can have
the servants bring something up from the kitchen," Hotaru
suggested.

"Aw, that's
sweet of you," she said. "I am a little hungry."

Hotaru got up and
moved toward a call button attached to a small speaker near her door.

"Hey, Princess
Saturn..." Diana said. Hotaru turned toward her as she
approached the call box and looked inquisitively at her friend. "Do
you think... would it be weird if I slept here every night?"

Hotaru paused,
unsure of how to respond. "Well... I wouldn't mind, if that's
what you mean." Quite the opposite--Er--what was she thinking?!

"So... it's
okay? I just..." she fidgeted under the comforters. "I used
to snuggle up with mom and dad, but... I'm a lot bigger than them
now, and... I dunno..."

"It's okay,
Diana," Hotaru replied, smiling. "You can sleep with me
from now on if you like." 

"Thanks,"
she said with a smile. 

"What do you
want for dinner?" Hotaru asked. 

"Can we have
sushi?" Diana asked happily. "And pudding for dessert."

Hotaru laughed at
the rather incongruous combination. "Whatever you like."


Diana sighed as she
lay on Hotaru's bed one evening after her studies. Although Diana had
been sleeping in her bed for a week, Hotaru had kept the arrangement
as much of a secret as she could manage. She doubted that the others
would understand that Diana didn't think anything of cuddling up to
her to sleep at night. For Hotaru's part, she wasn't sure if she was
glad or sad about that. When Michiru had initially encouraged her to
pursue Diana, she had shrugged it off without a second thought. Now
that she felt Diana's body pressing against her every night, felt her
developing breasts against her and--

No, no, no! That
train of thought was simply... it wasn't... it would not do. Diana
didn't think of her that way, if she knew Hotaru was thinking of her
that way... "Is something wrong, Diana?" Hotaru asked,
trying to distract herself from her train of thought. 

"No... not
really..." she said. "Helios and Lady Serenity are going on
a date tonight. They're going to go out to eat, and see a movie... I
just get a little wistful, imagining an evening out like that."

"Oh,"
Hotaru said. She could feel her heart thundering in her chest. She
suddenly wanted very much to be that person for Diana. But what if
she lost what they had now? Did she dare...? "...Um, Diana..."

"Yeah?"
Diana replied, turning toward her friend.

"We could...
well..." Hotaru cleared her throat. "Would you like to go
out?" 

"Oh, that
sounds like fun!" she said, sitting up. "A girl's night out
will good way to distract me from feeling envious."

Hotaru fidgeted in
front of her mirror. "Well, uh... if you just want it to be like
that, that's fine but..." she turned bright red. She thought she
might suffocate from nervousness. "I meant as like... a date."

Diana blushed.
"...Oh."

There was a awkward
silence. "Forget I said anything," Hotaru said hastily.
"It's... nothing." 

"N-n-n-n-no!"
Diana spat. "I... I think I'd like that. I mean... Princess
Saturn, do you... I mean, do you feel like I'm more than..."

Hotaru nodded
shyly, looking at the ground. "I... I guess I should have said
something sooner, with you staying here, I just--"

"No, it's
okay!" Diana said. "I guess..." she blushed. "I
sort of felt differently around you but I just... I guess I pushed it
aside because you weren't a guy, and you know I've never been in
love--" her speech was kind of hurried and awkward."--So I
guess I just assumed it was like, I thought you were really cool and
that was all... but now that you mention it, I mean... Chibi-Usa and
the Quartet are my friends, but I would never think of asking if I
could sleep with them, and I guess I never examined how that was sort
of weird..." 

Hotaru sat down
next to Diana and held her close. Diana returned the embrace. They
were both blushing and awkward and very unsure, but also so very
happy. 

"Come on,"
Hotaru said, "Let's get dressed and go out."


"That was a
really nice restaurant, Miss Tomoe," Diana said as they left
Tokyo's Maxim de Paris. "It must have been really expensive."

Hotaru smiled.
"It's not like I'm on a budget," she said. "I wanted
to take you somewhere nice." 

"Well, it's
still sweet of you," Diana said, blushing. Hotaru couldn't help
but admire her crimson cheeks set against her lovely pale skin; she
was adorable in her pale yellow dress and sage blazer. Hotaru could
feel herself getting a little flustered; she glanced away from Diana
and toward a nearby park, where a brightly lit crystal fountain
surrounded by cherry trees was thundering away. 

"Let's walk
through the park to get to the station," Hotaru suggested,
taking Diana's hand. 

"Okay,"
Diana said happily. She led Diana through the park's gardens, where
white peonies reflected the light of the street lanterns. Diana gazed
admiringly up at the fountain, which was chiseled into intertwining
loops and whorls of vines. Crystal flowers sat atop these vines,
sparkling brilliantly from the light that came from within the
crystal fountain. "It's so pretty," Diana said. Hotaru
looked up and joined her in admiring the fountain.

"Diana..."
Hotaru said, turning back toward her friend. 

Diana looked at
Hotaru, blushing slightly. "Yes?"

"You should
call me Hotaru...not 'Princess Saturn' or 'Miss Tomoe.' It feels...
way too formal."

"Okay...
Hotaru," Diana said, blushing self-consciously. 

Hotaru smiled and
put a hand around Diana's torso. "You know... your human form
is..." she blushed. "You're very beautiful, Diana." 

"H-hotaru..."
Diana said, staring into Hotaru's violet eyes. Hotaru closed them and
leaned into Diana, kissing her gently. Diana awkwardly returned it.
It was not the most perfect kiss the world had known. But it was
sincere. 

Diana smiled and
looked away. "I guess... we should head to the movie," she
said happily. 


Diana paused a
little awkwardly as they walked into the wing where the royal
bedrooms were located. "I guess... it would probably be better
if I stayed in my own bedroom." 

Hotaru looked a
little disappointed. "If that's what you want," she said. 

Diana fidgeted.
"Well... not really," she admitted. "But I thought it
might be... awkward." 

"If you're not
comfortable with it, you don't have to," she said. "I want
you to be happy with whatever you decide."

Diana leaned into
Hotaru and hugged her tightly. "I want to be with you," she
said affectionately. 

Hotaru returned the
hug and leaned her cheek against Diana's head. "Then you can
come with me," she replied, breaking off the hug and taking
Diana by the hand. They went silently back to Hotaru's room; the rest
of the household was tucked away in their rooms.

Hotaru closed the
door behind them and kissed Diana again. "I guess we better get
our nightgowns on," she meekly suggested. Diana blushed and
nodded. 

Hotaru couldn't
help but admire Diana's soft breasts and round, feminine hips as she
changed. She thought about touching her, but she was afraid that
Diana would feel awkward if she did it so soon... especially when
they were nude.

When they tucked
themselves under the quilt, Hotaru felt happier than she ever had
before snugglng against Diana. As they spooned, their bodies rested
together in a perfect nest of warmth. She put her hand between
Diana's legs and gently rubbed her fingers against her vagina. 

Diana immediately
squirmed against her, gasping a little in surprise. "Hotaru...
what are you..."

Hotaru pulled her
hand away. "I'm sorry... am I moving things too fast?"

"I was just a
little surprised, that's all," Diana said, blushing. "I've
never... felt that way before."

Hotaru blushed a
little. "Oh," she said. "Do you want me to keep
going...?"

Diana just nodded.
Her face was bright red, but she smiled softly as Hotaru moved her
hand between Diana's legs and stroked her. As Diana leaned into her
fingers ever so slightly, Hotaru moved them back and slid them down
into Diana's underwear. Hotaru kissed Diana's neck as she felt for
her clit. She was delighted to find that Diana's pussy was wet and
she really was enjoying what Hotaru was doing to her. As she began to
rub the small nub of flesh, Diana made a quiet whimpering noise. 

"Do you like
that?" Hotaru whispered into her ear. Diana made a muffled
moaning noise as Hotaru nibbled on her ear and rubbed against her.
She gently slid two of her fingers inside of Diana; Diana's thighs
began twitching from the intense pleasure. 

Before long,
Diana's muscles shuddered in release. The thrilled expression that
crossed her lover's face filled Hotaru with ardor, and she found
herself pressing against Diana with renewed vigor until she, too,
came.

Hotaru snuggled her
face against Diana's cheek and wrapped her arms around her. She felt
perfectly happy and at peace; a quiet sigh escaped Diana's lips.

"I love you,
Hotaru," Diana said.

"I love you,
too, Diana," she replied.


"Hey,"
Haruka called out. Hotaru and Diana were walking down the hall,
taking a break from their duties to grab a light lunch. "You two
seem awful tight."

Hotaru blushed and
glanced to the side. "Well..." 

Haruka sighed.
"Soon, I'll be a grandparent..." 

"Stop getting
strange ideas!" Hotaru protested.

"Strange
ideas?" Haruka replied, putting a hand on her chin.

"Y-yes!"
Diana interjected. 

"Hmm,"
she said. "It doesn't seem that strange, considering I
saw you two come out of Hotaru's bedroom this morning."

Diana and Hotaru
just blushed as Haruka walked away, waving casually behind her.
