A/N: In reading this, you ought to get used to hearing Chibi - Usa being called Usagi. That is her real name, and that's mostly what is used in this story, for the exception of Elios and Iris.
Clouded Dreams
Chapter One: Chibi - Usa's Dream
"Good night, Usagi, dear." Neo-queen Serenity shut the neo-moon princess's door behind her and walked away.
The girl in the room took down her odango-styled pink hair, letting it cascade down her back to her rear. She spoke aloud to a round toy on her bed. "It feels so strange to be called that now, Luna sphere. I called Mama that when I went to the past."
The toy on her bed was supposed to resemble a cat, but it didn't in the slightest and just sat there, staring at her.
The young lady shook her head. "But that was three years ago. And Mama and Papa are diff'rent now. Ther aren't Mamoru and Usagi anymore." She smiled sadly and changed into her nightgown.
"So many great things happened when I went to the past, Luna sphere. I met Elios, and Perupan, and Momo, and Kyusuke..." She trailed off sleepily, pulling the covers to her chin. Just as she closed her russet eyes, she thought she saw her toy wink at her.
~~~
A figure with very long white-blue hair paced in a large room. The floor was marble, and the furniture was exquisite. The woman was turned away from Usagi, so that her face couldn't be seen. But then, she turned, looking right into Usagi's eyes with her own blood-red ones.
"Aa! Chibi - Usagi! You're here!" The woman cried.
Confused, Usagi looks about. "Where exactly is here? And who are you?" Looking around, she gasped when she saw a young man seated in the corner. He has the same color eyes as the girl in front of them, and the same color hair, which was wavy about his face and needed combing.
"Elios!" She cried. She ran to him, and flung her arms around his neck. In return, he laughed throatily and embraced her. "Chibi - Usa..." He said softly.
She secretly smiled at hearing him call her this, as he hadn't in what seemed to be so long. She then pulled away. "Where are we, Elios?"
"In Elysian, Chibi - Usa." He smiled warily at her. "I've missed you."
"Me, too, but what am I doing here?" She asked.
He stood up, and smiled at her. "Chibi - Usa, Elysian is under attack."
Her eyes widened. "Under... attack? By whom?"
"A young man from Nemisis... he is Demando's son." He said, his hand on her shoulder.
She became aware of his touch. She felt herself grow hot, and the memories of their love flooded back, and she felt a growing need panging at her from deep inside. She tried to push it away. "I didn't know Demando had a son..."
'
"Neither did I, until he showed up." He paused, and when neither of them said anything, he changed the subject. "There's someone I want you to meet, Chibi - Usa."
She turned to the woman who had confronted her. "This, Chibi - Usa, is my sister, Iris. She is the heir to the throne of Elysian, because I am destined to be the guardian. No one knows that she is the princess, or not many, at least. We keep her identity a secret. When she isn't locked away in the palace, she's out acting like a civilian."
Usagi saw the woman's eyes sadden, and something dawned on her. Elios's sister, if she was older, wasn't much older than she. And she was a princess, like herself. They could understand each other, know what it was like to be lonely and be a princess at their age.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Iris smiled.
"Pleasure's mine," Usagi said automatically, as she was taught such phrases.
"Chibi - Usagi..." The woman's voice was misty, and everything began to fade.
"Elios!" Usagi cried out.
~~
Usagi lurched forward out of bed, and found herself looking down at her Luna sphere. "It was only a dream... " She thought. Then, she revised this thought. "No... it was real..."
End of Chapter One.
