Summary: Chibi-Usa is now 16 (or shall we say 911?) and stayed in the 20th century while her parents had business over at the outer solar system. It's the lovers season aka chrismas and she feels rather out of place.

It was the middle of winter. Couples walked around the streets of the 20th century window shopping for each other. It was a joyous time for everyone. Lights covered the city, cars flooded the streets and couples were everywhere.

In the city was a young girl. Her pink hair and red eyes made her stand out of the crowd. Her developed body and clear complexion made every man turn their heads to her. She walked around the city pavements all alone with no interest in anything around her. She began to travel around the town in no direction, just to be away from everyone.

"Care to join me?" were words that were spoken by random men trying to pick up the young maiden. Others were "What's a sexy girl like you doing walking by all herself?" Chibi-Usa shook her head at the actions the male species gave towards her.

'They think just because a girl is all alone that she is helpless? Dumb fools' were the thoughts that went through her head. She seemed aggravated about everything at the moment. What was she doing? Just hopelessly wandering around town.

She sat in the living room reading a book waiting for her 20th century mother to finish getting ready for a 'family' outing with her, her father Mamoru, and her mother Usagi. She waited for several minutes until her mother came out stressing about her outfit not being cute enough. Her mother asked about her opinion but she decided to just roll her eyes and continue reading her precious book. This went on for several minutes with several different outfits. When Usagi finally decided what outfit to wear, they headed outside to find that Mamoru was waiting for them.

Chibi-Usa sat behind her mother and father in the back seat of the car. They drove around the town, pointing out sites for everything. A cute café with a pretty tree, a small store with beautiful ornaments, a bakery with adorable cookies, everything. Chibi-Usa watched as lovebirds came in and out of stores, walk hand in hand down the streets and her parents act lovey-dovey with each other completely forgetting of their daughter in the back of the car. She couldn't take it anymore. She felt heartbroken and wanted to leave. 'How could my own parents forget I'm in the car with them?' was the thought that ran in her head. Soon the car stopped at a street light and Chibi-Usa took this chance to leave. She opened the door, got out, closed it and ran away from the car she was in, leaving her parents shocked in the car, not being able to leave and chase her for the light had just turned green.

'They are probably looking for me right now' she thought as she looked at the clock stating it was half past six. The sky grew darker and showed faint signs of stars. She sighed to herself. All alone in the big city, on the most romantic season in the year. Tears began to fall from her ruby eyes. She looked up, trying to prevent herself from crying only to see the snow beginning to fall.

She began to run, run away from everything once again. She ran away from the town square, she ran away from the lovers' filled park, and away from the city. She stared at the city behind her on a desolated balcony of the largest park outside of Tokyo, overlooking the city in its snow covered beauty.

"I wonder where he is." She quietly whispered to herself. She saw the city light up all their Christmas lights.

"Chibi-Usa-chan," her head perked up. She knew that voice. That soft sad voice. It was her best friend Hotaru. She turned around to find Hotaru in the dark violet winter coat she gave her last year.

"Hotaru-chan!" Her eyes filled with tears as she quickly gave Hotaru a hug.

"I haven't seen you in awhile." Chibi-Usa smiled as she gave her old friend a warm embrace.

"Yes it has." Hotaru returned the hug. "Is there something wrong my little friend?" Asking in concern.

Hotaru has known Chibi-Usa since she was five. The place where they stood was the only place Chibi-Usa would go when something is wrong. It has been their thinking spot for years now. It was a perfect place to be alone and be able to appreciate the beauty of the town. Only two people knew about. Chibi-Usa and herself.

When Hotaru received a call from Usagi saying that Chibi-Usa went missing, she knew right where to find the pink haired child. Hotaru knew that Chibi-Usa had several things in mind but she never knew what the problem was. She hopped her best friend would tell her, but she knew not to pressure Chibi-Usa to tell until she was ready to speak.

Chibi-Usa shook her head in disagreement. "Nothing is bothering me Hotaru-chan," that wasn't the truth. There was something bothering her. "I'm just need sometime to be alone and think that's all," That was partly true.

"Well everyone is worried about you Chibi-Usa chan. Lets head back okay?" Hotaru faked a smile for Chibi-Usa's sake. Truthfully Hotaru felt hurt. Never in their years of friendship has Chibi-Usa ever lied to Hotaru. Never, so why start now?

"Mmmhmm." Chibi-Usa started to wipe the tears that she knew were starting to form again. She wanted to tell Hotaru. Honest she did, but she didn't know where to begin. The first encounter of Him back then almost 8 years ago? The majestic nights of playing with him in her dreams? The moments she fell in love? The evil that tried to capture him? The first time he called her name? Her first kiss? How he saved her and her mother from an almost certain death? The last moment she ever saw him again? Or the tears that she shed after saying goodbye?

Hotaru gave a sad smile and walked out the park with Chibi-Usa. Exiting the park, everyone was waiting for Chibi-Usa. Her 20th century mother had a worried look on her face, along with her 20th century father. Her other friends were waiting along side with them. Chibi-Usa let go of Hotaru's hand and ran straight to her parents.

Everyone went to Tokyo temple and met up with Rei. Rei's Temple was always the group meeting place. When anything happens, that's always the place to go for anything. Rei was worried about Chibi-Usa's disappearance but couldn't leave and help search due to her duties in the shrine. There laid several tables facing one another with tea cups ready to be served.

"Chibi-Usa-chan, Why did you suddenly leave the car?" asked her father.

"Is there something wrong that you want to talk about?," continued her mother.

She shook her head with a sad smile in her face. She began to deny anything that they said. All thier question, all were asked out of concern, but she did not want to talk about this lonely feeling that she had when watching all the lovebirds everywhere. She didnt want to talk about the fact she felt betrayed and alone from everyone. Most of all, she didnt want to talk about the fact that she still missed him, that she still love him, and that she still waits for mother saw that sad look in her dasughters eyes and decided to leave her alone. She told everyone to leave her alone and let Chibi-Usa figure things out for herself.

Chibi-Usa looked at the night sky from the view in the balcony of her father's apartment. Her mother still lived with her 'grandmother' and they decided to spend the night in the Chiba household aka Mamoru's apartment complex. Usagi and Mamoru watched thier daughter who was out in the terrance and felt bad that thier one and only daughter had such a painful expression. THey wondered what could make thier daughter feel very sad and alone.

"it could be because she has gotten rejected." Usagi said with her still semi-childish mind.

"I doubt that is the problem Usagi, besides if it was i would kill the boy who rejects my beautiful daughter." Mamoru said with a hint of anger.

"Then I wonder what it is." Usagi looked at Mamoru's eyes and nodded her head. "I'll go talk to her." She started to head to the balcony where her daughter stayed.

"Chibi-Usa-chan," Usagi began as she started to comb her dughters hair away from her eyes. "Tell me what is on your mind."

Chibi-Usa began to give in. She needed to tell someone. Someone who understands. She knew her mother would always be the one to talk to when something was in her mind, ever since she was born.

"It's about Pega..." she stopped. "It's about Helios." Her mother nodded her head to continue. "Do I still love him? Do I wait for him because I love him or because I promised him? Is what I'm feeling because of something that happened when I was a child?"

Usagi gave her a daughter a small smile. She began to rub her daughter cheek as she spoke.

"I know what you mean my child. I felt the same when I was you age. I didn't tell you but I fell in love with Mamoru back when we were kids also. He was hospitalized when his parents died. I just so happened to be in the same hospital with him when your 'uncle' was born. I saw a small kid in the garden of the hospital and wanted to cheer him up. That's when I first met him." Usagi began to nervously laugh. "what I'm trying to say my dear child, I too fell in love with your father when we were children. I'm sure you'll meet him again and he will be your true love. Just like me and your father. I guess you could say it's faith. So just have hope okay?"

Chibi-Usa looked at her mother. Although her mother still acted childish, she could be pretty wise when she wanted to be. She couldn't help but smile and hug her mother. Although what her mother said didn't quite help, she felt better.

"Thank you okaa-san."

That night she finally had a dream. Her dreams were blank lately but it seems today she could finally wander around her dream world. Where she was at was the crystal forest. The place she first met Helios. She wandered around the forest hoping to see, even if just a glimpse, of Helios. After several minutes, which seemed like an eternity, Chibi-Usa decided to give up on looking for him. She sat down on the shore of the gigantic lake and stared at her reflection. Not soon later, she saw Helios standing next to her in the lakes water. She stood and turned to see that it wasn't just her imagination. He was there.

She pulled him to an embrace. What more could she have done. Her brain wasn't functioning. She didn't know what to do or what to say, so she let go of him. He smiled at her and placed his hand on her cheek.

"I've missed you my young maiden." He had a sad smile on his face.

"I've missed you also Helios." She closed her eyes as she held the hand closer to her face.

Let's end it there shall we? Tell me if i should change the ending.
