A/N: I put a lot of thought into this story, so I hope it is decent. I know it is kind of a short chapter but bear with me here. There will be much more dialoge in the next chapters. Chibiusa and Helios always seemed like one of the BEST and one of my favorite couples of all time. I hope the updates won't be too far apart. Anyhow, enjoy!
Ruby eyes stared out across Crystal Tokyo, wondering the same thing she had been pondering for several years: Would she ever see him again? She was now fifteen and still all she could think about was the guardian of Elysian. The day he flew off was plastered in her mind forever as she remembered those elegant wings spread apart that she had ridden on all those times throughout her dreams. He had flown off into the horizon, and she longingly watched him go, knowingly there was no way to stop him. He had his own duties that he could not forsake and would not, and Chibiusa winced at the thought of ever begging him to abandon them. Still, she sighed, I want to see him so badly. His knowing eyes filled with wisdom, his soft white hair that reminded her of Pegasus's mane, and those perfect lips which spoke of forbidden, ancient secrets, and yet the taste of them was sweet and fresh and pure.
A frustrated sigh escaped her pouting lips.Thinking of him and their memories together fighting the Dead Moon Circus brought her so much pain, but it was the only way to momentarily crave her lusts. Not thinking of him drove her insane and yet… she realized his commitment to responsibilities, but was there no way for them to be together? When she thought of a lover, Helios was the only one to come into her mind. Ever loving someone else as much as she loved him would be unbelievable and it would just never happen.
But… did he know how much she cared for him? Or to what lengths she was willing to go for him? She had duties as Princess as well and becoming Sailor Moon, but to go through her life without ever having a chance of happiness with her true love? It seemed so unfair. He did know though, right? He had to realize how much she adored him. All the time spent together in her dreams was unforgettable. Surely, though, he had noticed over time how deeply her affection grew for him from that first day they met. For her, it had felt like a dream. Well, literally of course, but also in the common sense of being so incredible it feels unreal. Or maybe a better way to put it was love at first sight? Yes. That is exactly how she felt. Definitely he had felt the connection that day as well? He just had to. Especially after the kisses they had shared. Even now, she could feel a slight color coming to her cheeks at the fond memory of multiple kisses they stole together. Together. That was a word she had always wanted to use for herself and Helios. Now though, she may never get to use it. Am I being too selfish? Is it too much to ask for a pure, true, untainted love?
Light and somewhat clumsy footsteps could be heard coming down the hallway to her room. Slowly and wearily, she got up from the window seal and clambered in her soft comfy bad, too tired to brush out her hair tonight. The tangles could wait for morning. Just as she got comfortable, her mother, Neo-Queen Serenity quietly entered through the doorway. A loving smile was given towards her daughter as she took a seat on the edge of her bed. "My dear, will you be ready for the upcoming ball for your birthday? I know you said you didn't want anything huge but… your sixteenth birthday only comes once, and you should enjoy it. You are aging so fast and growing more mature every day. I really am proud of you sweetie, and of the fine young lady you're growing into. You put me to shame sometimes, when I think of the grace that I had at your age, which you probably can recall."
Chibiusa smirked. She definitely knew of her mother's finer years in the past, and always had warmhearted (at least most of the time) memories of that time spent with Usagi and their frequent petty arguments. "Anyway," the Queen's voice cut into her dreamy thoughts, "we are going to try to make this a wonderful birthday with many guests. And to make it more romantic and fun (don't tell your father, lest he have a heart-attack), I am going to make it a Masquerade." Serenity said this last statement proudly, as if it was one of the greatest decisions of mankind.
"A what?" Chibiusa questioned, startled.
"A masquerade, darling. It will be so much fun! Nobody will know who each other are, including you, the Princess. I hope you find someone nice to spend the evening with," at which Serenity winked. "I invited people from all over to come to your ball."
"Somehow, this doesn't seem like my ball when you are the one planning everything."
"Oh sweetie, stop being such a sourpuss. It will be fun, alright? I'm having a special dress made for you to wear. It'll blow your mind! Now, you had better get some sleep. I'll see you in the morning. Good night, Small Lady."
The pink haired teenager contemplated what the dance would be like. As usual, she would probably sink off alone, her thoughts only on Pegasus. She had no room for any other man to take his place. Did he know how much his memory haunted her? Did he think about her this much? With that last thought, she drifted away into a sleep filled with flying horses, but none of them being her flawless Pegasus.
A/N: Thanks for reading! I'm working on the second chapter now, except there is a storm heading my way so I should probably get off my computer. Please review!!!
