NOTICE: Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, not me.

Author's Note: I decided to change the name of the story to better suit it.

Saturday rolled around, and Chibiusa found herself excited. She sat at her vanity, finishing off her look with a coat of dark pink lipstick. She sighed. She wasn't falling for Katsu, but maybe, if Helios heard, it would cause him to propose quicker. Plus, it stop her mother from nagging at her about exploring other relationships. She did genuinely like the red haired prince, but not romantically. She smiled at herself, then looked down. At that moment, a knock came. "Come in".

Sailor Pallas entered and said, "Your highness, Prince Katsu of Kinmoku and his guards are here".

"Thank you, Pallas". She followed behind her guardian into a large parlor type of room, where they were waiting. She smiled and curtsied, and Katsu gave her a kiss on her hand. "What a gentleman!" Lady Serenity thought to herself.

"Lady Serenity, please allow me to introduce my guards to you, Seiya, Sailor Star Fighter; Taiki, Sailor Star Maker; and Yaten, Sailor Star Healer".

"I'm so pleased to meet all of you! You're all welcome here," she said. "Please, do set down. My mother, Neo-Queen Serenity, should be down at any moment. I..."

At that moment, the Queen herself entered. Chibiusa wondered why her mother didn't have on of her guardians introduce her. She sprang to her feet, as did Katsu, Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten. Queen Serenity looked as though she hadn't gotten a lot of sleep in the night before, and it was all she could do to keep herself standing up.

"Gentlemen, this is my mother, Neo-Queen Serenity," Chibiusa said, staring at her mother.

"It's so nice to...to have you here. Please, set back down".

Chibiusa wasn't the only one who wanted to run over to Usagi and ask, "What's wrong!?". Seiya sat there, unable to take his eyes off her. He wanted to run over to her, take her in his arms, and cry, "Odango, what's wrong!? Why this look of tiredness and sadness!?". The queen's tired blue eye met his for a couple of seconds, and then she looked over to the prince.

Usagi wished she could did want to give all of the Starlights a hug. However, it was apparent that Kakyuu had chose not to tell him about Chaos, Galaxia, and the near destruction of the universe, and how they had all met so long ago. She had also chosen not to tell Chibiusa. She smiled, and was about to engage them in soon small talk when Ami walked into the library. She was completely buried in a book, and didn't notice any of them.

The company stared at her with wide eyes. She turned her back to them, focusing on one of large, pine book shelves. "AMI!" Usagi barked.

She turned around, embarrassed. "Oh, I'm sorry Usagi! I didn't mean...OOHHHHHH!..." she said staring at the Starlights and the red haired boy who's name she didn't know.

"Ami, Sailor Mercury, this is..."

"WHERE ARE THEY?...NO, I WILL NOT WAIT, REI!". Minako came into the library with a bang, and immediately shrieked. "My 'idols' are back!" she exclaimed.

"My gosh, what's the heck is wrong with her!?" Chibiusa thought.

The Solider of Love immediately went into a playful scold. "Why didn't I know that you three were coming? OH, duh, a surprise visit, of course! I missed all of you! But I've esp..."

Chibiusa, who had seen enough, immediately sprang to her feet, sure that her guests were wondering why a complete loon was allowed to roam through the halls of the royal palace. "Everyone, I'm so sorry,

I wish to apologize for..."

The Starlights and Queen Serenity, who had been trying to keep their laughter inside, couldn't help but burst out laughing now. Seiya and Usagi were the first to lose it, followed by Yaten, and even Taiki. Ami laughed, too, at both Minako and herself. Chibiusa and Katsu were they only ones not laughing, and looked at each other as if they were the only ones who hadn't lost their minds.

Queen Serenity got up and walked over to the Starlights, giving them each a hug. Ami and Minako were right behind her.

"You guys, why didn't you come see us sooner!?" Usagi said as she hugged Seiya's neck.

"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?" Chibiusa cried in frustration. "MOM, how do you knows them!?".

"Come on, everyone, will talk about this over lunch!" Queen Serenity laughed.

After Katus and Chibiusa had been told the whole story, they understood everything. They both knew a little about the Battle for Universe, but they didn't know all the specifics. As the the group talked, one of the maids came into the room. "Your highness, I do hate to interrupt, but Priest Helios is here, and he requests a audience with you".

"Please, send him in!" Queen Serenity smiled.

The white haired man came in, and was a bit shocked by the visitors. "Queen Serenity, please forgive me, I didn't realize that you had company. Please, I will come back another time when it more convenient. My business can wait one more day".

"I bet he came to see me about Chibiusa!" Usagi thought to herself. "Hmmm, I'd better wait to speak with him".

"Alright, Helios, will wait. Will you still join us?".

"No, thank you, my Queen, I don't want to interrupt".

"It's no interruption, Helios, but I won't force you to stay. However, before you go, let me introduce our guests to you. This is Prince Katsu of the planet Kinmoku, and his guards, Sailor Star Fighter, Sailor Star Healer, and Sailor Star Maker".

"I'm so pleased to meet you, Priest Helios," Prince Katsu said warmly.

Until this point, Chibiusa hadn't noticed Helios, for she had been engrossed in a conversation with Katsu. "Oh, Helios, I'm so sorry! I didn't see you come in. Please forgive me!" the pink princess said.

"Won't you stay!?".

"I'm afraid I won't be staying this time, Lady Serenity. I'll be back soon. Goodbye," he said with a forced smile, and walked out.

"Wait! I'll walk you out!" she said, taking off after him. When they gotten out of everyone's earshot, Chibiusa began another apology. "Helios, I'm really sorry I didn't see you! I had my back to you, and..."

"My Lady, please don't say anymore. I understand that you have company. He's a very nice young man".

"Helios, please don't think those thoughts! He's just a friend. I met him at a party the other night, and I just invited him to visit! It's not as if we were having a private lunch together!".

"Please, you don't have to continue, my Lady. I will see you again soon. Until then, goodbye". He bowed slightly, and walked off. He didn't kiss her cheek or hand like he usually did. Chibiusa knew that he was hurt, but he was trying not verbally express it; however, the pain in his face was quiet obvious. "How was it that you didn't notice me!?" his expressions seemed to beg her. His hurt face haunted her as she walked back to the dining hall. She wanted him to be only a bit jealous and protective, not hurt and thinking he would lose her!
