Small Lady Selenity sat in her room her long pink hair was still up in its usual style with the rabbit ear like buns and the rest of the hair trailing out from beneath them, it was so long now it touched the ground and made her look very elegant, much like her mother, the queen. Her crimson eyes stared down upon Crystal Tokyo from her bedroom window in the palace, a sigh released itself from her flushed lips as her gaze fell upon the kingdom, vision sad and shimmery, tears brimming on the lids of her orbs and wetting her long dark lashes. She moved from the window, sitting on her bed and sullenly looking down at the white dress she was clad in, fingering the long fabric of the skirt with her silken gloved hands. This was her wedding day, the man she was about to marry was total scum in her mind, she could care less about him and his stupid arrangement with her parents... were arranged marriages even legal anymore? She wondered quietly to herself as the tears that had collected in the corners of her eyes soon broke and rolled in waves down her cheeks, staining her skin with their cool salty trail. No move was made to whipe them away, afterall she really didn't care about her appearance, she had no interest in the man she had been betrothed to. There was only one-

There was a knock at the door, a cool deep voice was heard, "Pumkin, are you almost ready? The ceremony will be beginning in an hour."

"Yes, daddy." Selenity answered back, her voice toneless, cold, and piercing as a dagger. She was still angry with her father at the way he betrayed her, thinking back on the moment she could feel the stinging tears building up again as she stood and locked her door.

"Ah, Princess Small Lady, my beautiful daughter, come. Your mother and I have a wonderful suprise for you." King Endymion smiled down at his pink haired daughter who stared up at him in wonderment.

"Will I like it daddy?" She asked, begining to follow him through the corridors towards the Main Hall, "Can you give me a hint? Come on!" She giggled walking along. She was 15, her hair had grown a lot over the years and she was growing into a lovely young woman, many people commented on how much she resembled her mother. She knew different though, remembering her journeys to the past to train with Sailor Moon and the Sailor Senshi. Her then 15 year old mother was goofy and childish along the other scouts who were much more fun then too. They still protected the kingdom but they were almost like different people, more regal and serious... they were adults.

Endymion chuckled, "You'll see, you'll see, for the moment you must learn to be paitent." He smiled back at her as they neared the Main Hall. The double doors were opened into the large, high ceilinged room by two of the palace guards.

Endymion and Princess Small Lady walked through, her mother could be observed sitting in her throne and a man with long brown hair kneeled before her, he glanced back as the two entered the long white and gold trimmed room and stepped along the thick red and purple carpet that stretches the nearly 50ft length of the room. Endymion took his throne next to his wife and Princess Small Lady Selenity stood before her parents, offering a curtsey and making a lightning quick sideways glance at the man kneeled before the thrones of her mother and father.

Neo Queen Selenity beamed, "Princess, we have summoned you hear to give you very good news." Her eyes positively sparkled with joy as she motioned to the man kneeled down before her and he stood to full height, he looked to be in his mid-twenties and had long brown hair pulled back in a ponytail. His dress was formal and looked well tailored and expensive with a quite elaborate design to it. It also appeared that he was foriegn though there weren't any distinguishing features that proved the observation.

"We recieved a visitor today, his name is Neroli and he's ventured a great distance from Italy to come here, in person no less... My daughter, he has travelled here for you with the specific intent to ask for your hand in marriage." The Queen seemed exstatic as she looked upon her daughter whos mouth gaped open and made sharp motions as though she wanted to speak but the muscles in her face felt paralyzed.

"Mom! This is too soon I don't even know him!" She managed to plead when she finally regained control over her nerves.

Queen Selenity slightly frowned, looking a bit hurt at the girls reaction, "Honey, this isn't your decision now. We gave you this choice before and you never answered us."

"How could I?! I was 13, I didn't even care about it then, I wasn't interested in marriage and I'm still not!" She retaliated with a sharp tongue, "Especially to this man I know nothing about!" She screamed out, her finger jolted out at Neroli. She was furious at the choice she had no say in.

The brunette man looked over at the Princess, "You really shouldn't speak to your parents like that." His voice was soft and gentle and filled with concern, he had said this because he knew from experience in dealing with royal parents.

The Princess glared at him firing needles into his skin with her glower before she smacked him across the face, "You know shit! I won't ever marry you! Theres no way come hell or high water that I will ever be your bride." She hissed the last sentance, the venomous words dripping from her tongue.

"That was uncalled for." King Endymion said, Small Lady whipped her head about to look at her father, a bit stunned at his remark. His faced remained turned away from his irate daughter, "Our decision is final, if you are going to act like a spoiled brat then you are dismissed." Not once did his voice waver and not once did he look in her direction as he spoke, his transposed face ached with pain.

"Very well." The Princess said coolly, turning and storming from the room in a rage.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thinking back she knew just how powerful her mothers influence was, her fathers expression at the time told her that much. It told her that her father never intended for things to go the way they did and that the queen was the one behind the decision. The anger towards her mother was stongs however her resentment for her father stemmed from that incident. Why hadn't he ever stood up to Queen Selenity the entire time this contract had been allowed to continue and she allowed to suffer with the weight of the situation? It nearly pulled her heart to pieces when she thought about it, until the day of that particular problem she had always considered her father a friend, now she didn't even know what to feel. Her emotions ran like a near empty canteen, the only emotions left to fester in the bottom were sorrow and hate.

She walked back over and lie on her large canopy bed, face burried deep in one of the soft, lacy pillows and hair spread out about her like a silken cocoon. The tears she shed gushed onto the cloth, dampening the soft tissue inside. As she rest, face hidden and gently sobbing atop her bed, she could distinctly hear a soft familiar voice reverberating within her mind. Head snapping to attention she looked around, "Wh-what. Where... Where are you?" Her voice contained traces of excitement, longing, and hope as her head darted back and forth, searching.

She heard the soothing voice again, 'Close your eyes once more...'

Sitting up straight on her bed she let the lids of her eyes steadily shut, a gasp abaiting her lips, "I-Its you..."

"Yes, I am here for you Princess." The white, horned horse dipped its head before her.

"Helios." She sighed tears welled up in her glistening eyes, as she dashed forward.
