Neko nodded. She knew Haruka had one, but she couldn't remember. But it was related to her planet. Neko and Mi-chan knew lots about the planets because their parents talked about them a lot. Haruka was Sailor Uranus. So she was from Tenoh-sei. Neko smiled, having won the game. "Tenoh. Tenoh Hawuka-sama."
Miss Tamago looked at her increduously. "Tenoh Haruka?" Neko nodded. "Well, I'll call her and see what happens." It seemed unlikely, but the child did know a lot more than average 2 year old about the royal families.
"TENOH HARUKA. PLEASE COME TO DAY CARE CENTER B."
*Well, it'd certainly be something if any of the royal families were here* she thought to herself. Miss Tamago had always been a small fan of the Sailor Senshi. And on top of being royalty, Tenoh Haruka was also a famous fencer and racer. Truth be told, she hoped that young Neko was telling the truth.
Suddenly she felt a tug at her skirt.
"'Cuz I'm gonna be big sister, wanna fwower?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Haruka sighed in relief as she entered Day Care Center B and saw Neko across the room. She closed the door behind her and put Mi-chan down. Thank goodness the young girl was too short to reach the door handle herself. Haruka was certain she had finally got the two girls together.
"Hawuka!" Well, at least Neko had warmed up to her. For a moment Haruka considered leaving the twins here. Neko seemed to be having fun with the other kids. But, no. If Ryo and Ami wanted their kids in day care, they'd have asked her to take them there. No, it was her mission to watch the twins, and Haruka never gave up on a mission. Never.
She started toward Neko but was intercepted by on the day care workers.
"Wow, I can't believe you're actually here!"
Haruka looked at the star-struck woman and tried to decide if she was flattered or annoyed.
"I mean, the little girl told me you were, but I mean with all her stories about kings and flowers, I was having trouble believe any of it."
"Well, it was true," Haruka answered distractedly. She was trying to keep an eye on the twins, but she didn't want to be rude either.
"Wow. Hey, could I ask for your autograph?"
"Ano�" Haruka figured that this would probably be the fastest way to appease the star-struck young woman. She smiled charmingly and took her hand. "Well, it's the least I can do after you found and watched Neko-chan for me."
The young lady blushed and went to look for a pen. Haruka looked over at Neko and winked at her. Neko giggled. *One twin accounted for.*
She looked back at where Mi-chan had been. But she wasn't there.
She glanced at the door and was relieved to see it was closed. Unfortunately, there was Mi-chan, balancing on the edge of a chair to reach the handle.
"Michiru-chan!"
Not even Haruka was fast enough to catch Mi-chan as she fell off of the chair.
*Oh great. Ami-sama's gonna kill me. And that's nothing compared to what Michiru's going to do to me* she thought as she ran towards Mi-chan. But to her great relief, Mi-chan seemed to be ok. She brushed herself off and pouted a little, but didn't seem very upset.
In fact, Mi-chan was just fine. But Haruka was shocked to hear wailing from behind her. She did a 180 and ran over to Neko.
"Doushita?"
Neko mumbled something through her tears that Haruka managed to interpret as her knee got hurt. This was slighly confusing, as Neko had been sitting down. Mi-chan, on the other hand, had landed on one of her knees and would have had every right to cry about it.
"Shh. It's ok, Koneko-chan."
"Dat's dot by dame," sniffed Neko.
"It's not?!" Great, just as Haruka thought she had figured out which was which�.
"By dame Neko!"
"Gomen, Neko-chan. Here, does this help?" She kissed Neko on the knee. Neko nodded and rubbed her eyes. She sniffed again.
"Arwigatou."
"You're welcome. Now smile, little one."
"Hawuka-sama? Wanna fwower?"
"Oh, thank you. Demo� where did you get this?"
"Mi-chan gave to me. But this my wast one. I need mowa, 'cuz King, uh, En-dy-mi-on said give 'em away."
"Yeah, I'll have to talk to him about that. Hey, speaking of your sister, how about we get her and go back to the waiting room, ne? Now where'd she go?"
"Mi-chan weft."
"Huh?!" Haruka sweatdropped as she looked up and realized that the door was now open. "Oh, Michiru-chan!" Her fist closed around the stem of the rose Neko had given her.
Neko giggled. "Hawuka-sama? How d'you do dat eyebwow thingy?"
Haruka realized her eye was twitching. "Come on, let's go catch your sister."
She started toward the door, but was intercepted once again. "Ano� about my autograph�?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Michiru glanced at her daughter.
"Well, Tenshi, do you think we should go find and help your papa?"
Tenshi had spent most of the day fascinated by Kimahou. But she seemed to be getting tired and bored with it. With Michiru's suggestion, however, she brightened considerably.
