All the characters you know aren't mine.. well I borrowed them for just a small while, and without permission. Any that are mine, I hope you like them
Together again
Here is the prequel if you want to know what is going on.. but is not that necessary.
Time to live
And this one occurs in the same story line, but Setsuna and Jonathan are not telling me which one is first. Best laid plans
Setsuna feathered her hands through his rich brown hair. She had finally found him. Smiling, she remembered Serenity's reaction when Ami found out his name was Jonathan Standish, and Minako pointed her to England. Serenity had immediately flipped open a small notebook. Scanning down a list, she had picked up a pen and then wrote: Setsuna Meiou - ambassador to the United Kingdom.
Setsuna had felt a small ripple of panic. "I can't. How can I search for him if I'm the ambassador?"
Serenity had given her a small, stubborn smile laced with knowing. "I'm not losing touch with you. And I'm going to help the best way I can. I'm providing you with a job, place to live, and the means to get there." The smile had softened. "I'm giving you a past. Now the direction you move your future in is up to you, but only when you get there."
Watching Jonathan's sleeping face, Setsuna smiled. She was glad she hadn't argued, she still had the feeling she would have lost. She didn't get to keep the picture of him that Ami had found, either. Minako forbade it. 'And when the Goddess of Love tells you "no" in that tone, you listen... Goddess of Love....I'm sure she had everything to do with how we met. It was right out of a romance story.'

Setsuna left her last meeting for the day, and walked down the street looking for a cafe that sold green tea. At that moment, even the British version would had been acceptable. The sky, which had not been overcast when she left the meeting, clouded over and rain started pouring.
Setsuna had just enough warning to dart into one of the nearby shops. Glancing about, she decided to buy an umbrella and then ask the clerk if there was a cafe that sold what she wanted. If the answer was yes, then she was going to ask for directions, and maybe a map. She had learned that some people loved to give convoluted directions just to get around the block.
After looking for about a minute, Setsuna realized that she had found probably the only store in London that didn't sell umbrellas. Resigning herself to a dousing, she went to ask for directions. As the clerk was demanding why a good cup of Earl Grey wouldn't do, he walked up.
"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I couldn't help overhearing...", He cast a speaking glance at the clerk,"... that you were looking for a place the serves green tea. I know of a Japanese style tea house a little further in town. Would that be okay?"
Setsuna felt stunned. She wasn't sure if it was because he was offering her utmost desire at that moment, or because he was her utmost desire. Pulling herself together quickly, she nodded yes. "Can you write down the directions for me?"
Even as she mouthed the inane question, her mind was racing. How was she going to be able to see him again? Then he smiled. "I'm heading that way. Shall I show you?"
Setsuna knew she shouldn't accept, that was common sense, but she knew deep down she was going to. He stayed and had tea with her, and by the time they were done, they had set up another meeting.

Brushing a finger down his sleeping face, Setsuna felt a warm, happy feeling glowing in her chest. They were together again.
