Chapter One

"Where are you?" A soft voice cried out. "I need to see you…"

Suddenly she heard a reply.

"I am here maiden…"

"Chibiusa!"

"Chibiusa!"

"Oh no…"

"Chibiusa!" Suddenly the sound of the door unlocking was made soon followed by curtains being drawn open.

"Mama..."

Standing beside the bed was none other then Queen Usgai Serenity. She stood over Chibiusa who had the sheets over her head. Her blue eyes looked down on her daughter with tease but parental tone.

"Chibiusa, breakfast is soon… please hurry up and get dressed, we're expecting our guests here today."

Why is my heart pounding… that dream…

Groggy, Chibiusa opened her eyes, to the rays of the sun illuminating her bedroom.

She peaked through her sheets to see her mother, dressed in a light blue kimono, standing over her bed. "Mama, I'm coming," She replied. Even in her best attempts to wake up in an orderly fashion her father usually remains a consist alarm clock for the future queen in the morning. But for some reason her mother aided her today.

Queen Serenity looked down on her daughter, "Ok, we will see you downstairs?" Nodding in agreement, she then exited the room.

Another guest…? Didn't we just have somebody come in a couple days ago…? Ugh...

She rolled out of bed, and began to walk toward her washroom where she proceeded with the regular morning routine which consisted of a shower, brushing teeth, washing her face.

I look a mess…

As she looked upon her reflection her oval face looked a little worn, perhaps due to lack of sleep. She then took her pink waist length hair, and pulled it up into a high single ponytail to save time.

She proceeded to her dresser where she began change from her night gown into something more casual, at least for breakfast. She slipped on a pink sweetheart dress that ended at mid length, with a white cotton cardigan. She grabbed a pair of white knee length socks, along with soft pink peril earrings, and necklace to match. After a breath, she added the last touch of lip gloss and a spray of perfume.

"Chi-Chi you up?"

She faced her door to a knock, and a pair of light purple eyes were peaking through the crack. It was her trusted and closest friend, Diana. A smile came upon the young Princess's face, "I'm up Diana. Let's go for breakfast."

Walking down the large hallway into the main hall my mind couldn't seem to shake that dream I had earlier.

"What's wrong Chi-Chi?" I almost forgot was Diana was walking next to me. She was dressed so cute this morning. Her purple hair was kept in her usual twin buns with two loose strains hanging from the sides of her face. She was dressed in sweet-heart white dress ending at the knee with lace encompassed along the skirt. She also was wearing lip gloss and looked well rested, with a light blush filling her checks.

"I had a dream last night Diana…" We slowed our pace as we got closer to the dinning area.

"I think…" I didn't get a chance to finish my sentence as we were in front of the doors entering for breakfast, I turned to Diana who was focused on my words. "I'll tell you later."

Around the table was my mother and father who sat beside one another at the side of the table. Absent from breakfast was Luna and Artemis who I believe went traveling for a week. I proceeded to my usual spot at the end of the table, were Diana sat to my left.

"Good morning Mama, Good morning Daddy." My parents looked over and smiled. My mother, was dressed in a formal yet causal attire, consisted of a white blouse with a tie at the neck. She had on a baby blue skirt ending at knee length to complement the blue pearl earrings she was wearing. Her sliver white hair was up in her usual buns with her hair flowing past her waist. Mama is aging so beautifully … I thought, as her eyes were still as blue from her youth to the quite matured adult she is today. Her face, carries a history of maturity and growth on it, but remains quite youthful due to the powers of the sliver crystal. My father, dressed in a white button down collar with dark blue pants also kept his youthfulness, not looking too much like an elder but mature enough to be a father to a young adult.

"How did you sleep my dear?"

"I slept well, thanks Daddy, who are the guests today?" His face turned from a relaxed smile to a somewhat taken-back and stiff expression.

"Well… your Mother and I… think its time you start looking for someone…" His face began to glow a soft pink across his cheeks.

Confused I asked, "Someone?"

My mother turned and gathered her husband's hesitation then calmly jumped in, "Someone to marry my dear."

I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. How could they- I… What if I don't want to be married off? Why are they telling me this now?

The air suddenly got awkward and silent.

I felt Diana slightly look over at me and touched my leg under the table, "Chi-Chi…"

I tried my best to mask the horror as my gaze shifted from my parents to Diana. Her expression was shock as well, but I could tell she was trying to withhold it to not further increase my own feelings.

My mother continued, "Chibiusa… You're at an age now where its time for you to find a partner… for the Moon Kingdom…" She took a breath, and looked me right in the eyes and continued, "This breakfast has been arranged were you will meet a potential suitor."

Bewildered, I couldn't hold it in-

"WHAT?"

My father at this point couldn't look me in the eyes. My mother seemed very composed and a lot more relaxed about the situation.

"I'm sorry we didn't tell you sooner… But they - he is coming in this morning."

Before I could response our house attendant, Megumi knocked on the dining room glass doors. She was dressed in her usual white and dark blue kimono with her brown hair tied up in a bun. Her soft brown eyes were such a comfort growing up when my parents were gone on business.

She opened the door and bowed.

"Good morning Queen Serenity, King Endymion, Princess Chibiusa and Lady Diana. I have our morning guests awaiting at the door. Should I let them in?"

I gave a look of hesitation toward my mother, and she looked at me firmly. I gave one more expression of refusal in hopes to cancel, but her expression didn't change. I nodded in defeat knowing that I wasn't going to win this battle.

Smiling up to Megumi, she then said, "You can let them in."

Author's Note:

Hello!

I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I would love if you shared your thoughts! What do you think? Just a bit more information about this story from my profile-

"In "Finding My Wings" I really wanted to explore Chibiusa and Helios's relationship a bit more. In the anime (after the two parted ways) we didn't get an update at all, even in the manga. I've always enjoyed reading stories in particular to these two so I am writing what I think, could- be a continuation in the life of Chibiusa in Crystal Tokyo and her connection to Helios."

Stay tuned! Thank you!
