Quick background check; episode 126, Chibiusa's met baby Hotaru in the park and let her hold her hand.
"Tomoe-san!" The man in the wheelchair half-turned and waved gaily at the nurse who was calling for him to return. As he turned, Chibiusa pulled her hand from baby Hotaru's soft fingers. Hotaru stared at her with shock and misery, stretching out her little hands pleadingly. Tomoe-san swivelled the wheelchair away, heedless of his daughter's obvious distress. Something tore inside Chibiusa's chest and she reached out a hand in response to the baby she could no longer see.
"Um ..." she started nervously. Tomoe-san turned the wheelchair back a little with a look of surprise on his gentle face. "Can I ... hold her?"
"Oh! Well ... yes, of course. She's lovely, isn't she?"
"Yes, Tomoe-san," Chibiusa replied automatically as she carefully slid her hands under and around Hotaru. "You're so heavy," she whispered in surprise as she raised the swaddled baby up. As she cradled her against her chest, she suddenly became aware of how warm she was.
'Chibiusa-chan!' Hotaru's happiness swept over Chibiusa in a tidal wave.
'She remembers me! She really remembers me!'
"Hotaru ..." she murmured, bittersweet tears stinging her eyes. The baby cooed and waved her hands aimlessly in the air. 'Be happy forever, Hotaru-chan,' Chibiusa told her as she gave her back to Tomoe-san. "I hope the baby stays healthy!" she called as her best friend was wheeled away.
"Yeah!" Tomoe-san called back. Chibiusa held her hat close to her body, a double reminder that would, she hoped, sustain her until they next met.
"I'll see you again, right?" she asked of no-one in particular, still feeling Hotaru's warm weight in her arms and that delighted telepathic recognition.
I watched that episode yesterday and was so upset when they didn't get one last hug! So, I wrote them one. :)
Poor Chibiusa!
