Notes:I do not own Sailor Moon. This is a Haruka/Michiru shortfic. Haruka's hopes to race in the World Championships are dashed. Rated PG-13 for a bit of strong language.Please don't flame.
*******
Michiru watched Haruka, her lover and partner in the fight against evil, as she practiced for an upcoming racing event in the World Championships. Although she herself was not the biggest fan of racing, she always supported and encouraged Haruka's dreams. Michiru motioned for little Hotaru to sit in her lap so she could watch,too. Hotaru did so. Haruka's coach told her how great she was doing.
"Keep it up and you'll be sure to win the World Championship," he told her.
"I appreciate your confidence," replied Haruka.
The coach smiled slightly. "See if you can break your record this time," he said.He got the stopwatch ready.
"All right," said Haruka,putting her helmet back on.
"On your mark,get set,go!"
Haruka sped down the track on her motorbike. She tried to slow down once she was near the finish line, but her bike malfunctioned. It fell over and she landed onto the ground. An awful sound was heard in Haruka's hip, followed by severe hip pain.Haruka cussed out loud as the pain rocketed through her hip. Her coach ran over to her. Michiru and Hotaru were horrified when they saw the mishap. They went over to Haruka as well.When Hotaru saw her,she burst into tears.It was too much for her to handle,seeing Haruka in such agony.Michiru did her best to comfort Hotaru while the coach called an ambulance.
"Everything will be all right," said Michiru,stroking Hotaru's hair.
Ten minutes later, the ambulance arrived. Two paramedics came out with a stretcher.
"That young blonde woman is the patient to be?" asked one of them.
The coach nodded. Haruka was barely conscious by this time.The paramedics gently moved her off the ground,and laid her onto the stretcher. They lifted the stretcher into the ambulance,and the drivers shut the doors.Haruka was then taken to the hospital.
*******
Michiru knew that children Hotaru's age were not allowed to visit certain wards in the hospital. She dialed Esmeraude's number. Esmeraude answered the phone.
"Hello,this is Esmeraude speaking," she said.
Michiru told her what was going on,and asked her to watch Hotaru while she went to the hospital.
"Sure thing. Just bring her to my apartment," said Esmeraude.
"All right.I'll be there momentarily," said Michiru.
She said goodbye,and hung up. She dropped Hotaru off at Esmeraude's place,then drove to the hospital.
*******
Haruka was in the recovery room. She had just undergone surgery. The doctor had told her that her pelvis was shattered,and that she would need several months of physical therapy and rehab. He also said that she would miss 4-7 months of racing competitions,which meant no Worlds for her. This displeased the butch blonde quite a bit. Not so much the injury,for in all honesty,she found the accident to be rather stupid. She just hated the fact that she would be away from her favourite sport for so long and that she would miss the Worlds, which were just 2 weeks away. She had spent months practicing for this competition, and now it looked like all of her practices were for nothing. Knowing how strongwilled Haruka was, she would come back stronger than ever. Just then, Michiru entered the room.
"Hey there," she said.
Haruka tiredly greeted her.
"How are you feeling?" asked Michiru.
"I've been in better moods," replied Haruka. She told the aqua haired senshi everything the doctor told her.
"You'll be all right," Michiru assured her.
Haruka half smiled. "Who's watching Hotaru?" she asked.
Michiru told her that Esmeraude was.
"I see," said Haruka.
At that moment,Usagi,Rei,Makoto,Minako and Ami entered the room. Usagi was holding a basket.
"Hiya!" greeted Usagi,cheerfully.
"Hey there," answered Haruka.
"We've brought you something," said Ami.
"Oh?" asked Haruka.Usagi handed her the get-well basket,and told her that Naru and Nephrite couldn't come right now, but they sent their gifts with her and the other girls.
"I see," said Haruka,looking in the basket. She thanked the girls,and asked them to say thank you to Naru and Nephrite,too.
"Will do," said Makoto.
Haruka was beginning to doze off. Ami noticed this.
"Well,we'll be going," she told Haruka," take care."
"Same here," replied Haruka.
Ami and the other girls left the room.
"Those girls have matured over the past 3 years,haven't they?" asked Michiru.
"They sure have,especially Usagi," replied Haruka. She drifted off to sleep.
Michiru smiled, stroked Haruka's hair,and left to get a cup of cappuccino.
*******
After months of rehab and therapy,Haruka was back into motor sports. She had begun practicing for a Grand Prix racing event,where she would make her comeback.
