 Tenoh Haruka.  The wind whipped her short golden hair around as she
sped away from the racetrack down the streets of Tokyo.  She was on her way
to pick up her beloved Michiru in her brand new yellow convertable.
Everything was going to be perfect tonight.  A moonlit dinner atop the
highest spot in Tokyo, then off to dance the night away.  A bright lemon
yellow Cadillac with yellow leather interior whizzed by her on the opposite
side of the road, the female driver inside giving a quick wink to Haruka.
Haruka blinked as she pulled into the parking lot outside of her and
Michiru's apartment.

 Kaioh Michiru.  The falling water made her aqua hair cascade over her
shoulders.  As she lathered it with her favorite shampoo, she recalled the
note she found on her dresser this morning when she awoke.

  Michiru.  Be ready by 7 o'clock when I get home.  Make sure
  you're wearing your best.  This will be a night you'll never
  forget.

 When Haruka said it would be a memorable night, she always meant it.
After rinsing and drying off, Michiru began getting dressed.  She selected
her favorite summer dress; the black strapless one with white polka-dots on
it.  She pulled it on, then slipped into a pair of black high heels and
draped a white scarf over the back of a chair to wear as a wrap.  She
brushed out her hair and let it fall gracefully over her shoulders in
waves.  Grabbing the scarf and draping it over her shoulders, she headed
out of the bedroom and into the living room to await Haruka.

 Haruka swung her leather jacket over her shoulder and closed the door
on the car.  After dusting off the leg of her crisply creased khakis, she
slowly strode up to the door of the apartment and went in.  Michiru sat on
the couch, smiling.

 "Are you ready?"

 Michiru stood and nodded. She walked over and casually wrapped her
arm around Haruka's as the two headed out to the car.

 Reaching the outskirts of town was a quick and simple task for the
Queen of Speed.  In a mere five minutes, they had reached the base of
Sakura no Yama.  Haruka tore up the winding rode to the top, where both the
Tokyo Observatory and their dinner awaited.

 As she whipped around another curve, she noticed the Cadillac from
earlier was stalled in the road, directly in front of her.  She hit the
brakes, but knew they wouldn't stop her in time.  Haruka spun the wheel and
swerved to the right, but swerved too far.  She missed the Cadillac, and
the semi-long reddish-brown haired girl standing next to it.

 Haruka, Michiru, and their car plunged over the cliff towards the
bottom of the mountain.  The last thing she remembered was the sound of
glass shattering...and Michiru screaming.

 Haruka awoke to the feeling of rain falling and a sharp pain in her
left arm and
leg. Focusing her eyes, she looked around and saw a few people running
towards the scene. A small stream of warm liquid flowed through her left
eye.  She stood up, wobbling, and began searching for Michiru, limping and
bleeding.  She found Michiru in a crumpled heap next to a tree, covered in
blood.

 Haruka lifted Michiru's head.  Her hair was dripping blood, with even
more running down her face.  Her arms and legs were covered in cuts.  The
once white scarp draped over her arms was completely stained with dark red
blood. "Hold me Haruka...just a...little while."  Haruka held her close and
tight.  She leaned down and kissed Michiru.

 "I...love you, Michiru."  Haruka continued holding her tight, even
though she knew that Michiru was gone.  "I've lost my love...my life,
tonight." she whispered.  Next to Michiru's lifeless body was the henshin
rod of Super Sailor Neptune.
