Michiru would say it
had started innocuously enough, if she believed that Mina were capable
of doing anything innocuously.

“Happy anniversary, you crazy kids!” She smiled widely as
she presented them with a brightly-wrapped package. “I know I shouldn’t get you
two anything, but hey, I’m feeling sentimental.”

“To Octopus Mom and Dad Mom. Love, Mina.” Michiru looked up
at her. “I daresay neither of us could pass as your mother.”

Mina winked and clicked her tongue. “And yet you’re
constantly nagging me.”

Haruka ignored them both and began to untie the ribbon at
the top of the box. “Mina, you didn’t need to do this.”

“Eh, I thought of you two immediately.”

Haruka opened the box and her eyebrows went up in surprise. “Oh
wow.” She pulled the first t-shirt out of the box, a bright red shirt with Lightning
McQueen on the front and, in big letters on the back ‘IF LOST, PLEASE RETURN
TO MICHIRU.’

Michiru glanced at Mina. “Truly, you shouldn’t have.”

Haruka handed Michiru the second shirt in the box. Also
bright red, emblazoned with a bright blue and yellow ‘McQueen Pit Crew’ on the
front. Mina had hot glued blue and yellow bows to the sleeves, rhinestones on
the collar, and on the back was a terrifyingly matching, ‘I’M MICHIRU’.

“For my favorite helpless butch and bossy femme. I figured when you went do to Gay Days at Disney, you could
wear these!” She leaned against the counter, grinning, “I know you were
thinking about taking Haruka this year.”

“Was I?” Her voice had the small note of a threat, but Haruka’s
eyes were already filled with stars.

“Babe, they just got the new Cars ride and I haven’t seen it
yet!” She vibrated with excitement. “And we’ll watch the fireworks and get dole
whips and and churros and giant turkey legs, and of course we have to buy
matching ears, and ride Space Mountain, and we can cuddle in the Haunted
Mansion! Why didn’t you tell me you were thinking about going?  This is gonna be great!” She smiled down at
her shirt. “You’re right, Mina, these’ll look great! It’s cute how you made
Michiru’s all femme.” She looked toward the door. “I’m gonna  go start planning.”

She skipped up the stairs, two at a time, bounding happily.

Michiru looked over at Mina. “Well played. Check, I suppose.”

“That’ll teach you to take Rei to the opera when you know we’ve
got a movie date.”
