It wasn't supposed to happen like that. He was supposed to scare her, intimidate her. Why hadn't she been intimidated, even slightly. She was supposed to cower in fear not…tempt him even further. Endymion flopped down on a bed with black silk sheets. He was just not winning, it seemed. Though, it had felt nice to feel the smoothness of her skin again, slapping against…

"AUGH!!!" Endymion growled, angry at himself for being…for being so damn weak.

Chibi Usa had snuck out of the castle again. She had done so on a regularly basis. She'd gotten over Helios, sort of. Okay, maybe not really but he had told her that now wasn't the time they should be romancing one another and perhaps she should wait. Technically, he had broken off a relationship that they didn't even have. She would never understand men.

In her plain distasteful clothes, she walked around town. She hadn't really been to town since she was a little girl, with her mother and ….

Her thoughts trailed off, as she stopped herself from thinking of that man as her father. Chibi Usa was barely paying attention a guy slightly older then she rushed past her, causing her to fall down, the raggedy brown cloke which covered her pink hair, fell over as the man yelled.

"SORRY!!!" Without even looking back.

Gasps all around her erupted. She'd been caught.

"It's the princess!" Someone yelled.

"Crap…" she muttered then stood up and quickly rushed off to hide somewhere before Kunzite or Jadiete dragged her back to the palace. She found a quaint little hiding spot, it was like a little shack..sort of. Okay, maybe not a shack but it was a high tower and she had to walk over a wooden board just to get to that tower. Once she was there, she gave a tiny sigh of relief and sat on the hard cot.

Then, she saw him, the guy who ran into her.

"Has anyone seen Chibi Usa?" I asked "She has a dress fitting for her betrothal."

I was actually very pleased with myself. I had somehow convinced Helios to accept the proposal of being Chibi Usa's betrothed. He was hesitant, not because he didn't like her but because he was the prince of dreams which made him leave home…a lot. He thought that she needed a more stable suitor, but reluctantly agreed anyways. I couldn't wait to tell her the news. Besides, it got my mind off of …other things.

"Nope." All four girls said, they were training their daughters.

"She was supposed to be here for training." Reika said petulantly. She reminded me so much of Rei, which wasn't a necessarily bad thing, since Rei and I are now the best of friends but I felt pity for my daughter having to go through what I did.

"I'm sure she'll show up sooner or later." Aiko said cheerfully.

I smiled at the two girls, "Thank you, girls.."

I walked out of the training room and back into my room. I'm sure Chibi Usa would show up eventually, it was just that I worried for her safety, especially with Endymion on the loose. I shuddered at the thought of what he might do to our daughter. No, he couldn't possibly want to harm Chibi Usa, this was just between us.

It was dark in the room and hard for me to see. I turned on the light. There was a note left on the dresser.

Serenity,

I want my emerald, it rightfully belongs to me.

Return my emerald or you may truly wish that

You never did meet me..

Your husband,

Endymion

P.S We wouldn't want to put our little girl in the middle of this, would we?

I knew this was a subtle way of saying there would be a war…or worse.

"Um…" Chibi Usa stammered as she stared at the young man. There was something familiar about him but she couldn't quite place it.

"Have we met?" Chibi Usa asked.

"No your highness, but I'm most certain everyone knows who you are.." The man said, rolling his eyes. "Have you brought along your guards as well? I may have to find a new hideout."

"Wha? Oh no, I'm here..by myself." His accent, it sounded like…"You're that blue robin hood guy!" Chibi Usa said.

The man raised his eyebrow at her, "Blue robin hood?" He stared at her for a moment, slightly recalling being in some form of blue tights and a blue casual shirt. It had made him look utterly gay.

"Yes, blue robin hood. My friends are obsessed with-"

"I think you have me mistaken for someone…your highness."

"Please, don't call me that and I do not! I would recognize that accent anywhere."

"I'm afraid you're wrong. There are many people with British accents." The man ripped off a piece of bread and offered it to Chibi Usa.

"Thank you." She said taking the bread.

He just nodded and continued to eat.

She sighed, it was obvious he wasn't going to admit to whom he was. "Fine then, if you're just going to lie about it. Whats your name then?"

He shrugged, "In actuality, I don't know…so I just go by Edward."

"Oh…" Chibi Usa replied.

And there they sat for the whole afternoon, saying nothing more, just lost in their thoughts.
