"Tell me, where are you right now... (Moonlight Princess)...my beloved princess... Just answer me (Answer for me)...I need you to (Answer for me)!"

These were the exact lines he used to sing from the bottom of his heart. Even though it had been quite a while now and thousands of light years away that he had seen his beloved princess.

Even if peace had reigned in the galaxy for some time, deep inside Seiya, there was still a war of feelings that were not allowed to be. Already not from the beginning. He knew that. But one will still be allowed to dream a little and perform this one song, which he had dedicated to her in the meantime, over and over again with all his heartache...right?

"Oh Seiya" Yaten patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner just after they finished their performance and were about to walk off the stage. "You have to forget about her, she never really belonged to you...and she's had more than one life. You know that."

"Yes, I know that, Yaten." Seiya gave a dejected sigh "They're a perfect match too, and never did I want to stand in the way of their unique, hopelessly romantic, unconditional love... But"

"But if it was allowed to be someday in a completely wacky parallel fanfiction universe, you'd say "YES" to her in a heartbeat, I know."

Taiki heaved a sigh of relief as well, completing the round of three that was now on their way to their dressing room. Just as the tall, brown-haired man was about to push down the door handle, he suddenly paused

"Say, do you feel that too?"

Turning around, Taiki merely looked into clueless faces.

"What do you mean?"

"Mhm, I kind of just felt like I was sensing an extraterrestrial force. Such a slightly familiar aura. Strange. Well, come on! Let's quickly pack up our stuff and get out of here. I'm really tired."

The lock snapped back and the door to the dressing room opened.

"Uh , what's that?"

Yaten walked through the door first and looked curiously at an oversized cardboard box settled in the middle of the small room.

"Mhm, maybe a fan gift?"

Was Taiki's innocent reply. From the outside, they couldn't make sense of the man-sized package. Other than an "Open Here" reference on the top of the package, there was otherwise no indication of a possible sender.

"Well, I hope it's not a bomb!"

"Nonsense. Somebody give me a pair of scissors."

Seiya didn't even wait for a possible reaction from his bandmates, but boldly tore open the top with a spirited yank. What he then found was a green envelope with his name written on it. Irritated, he raised an eyebrow.

"Well, for a pair of panties or a bra, this is pretty elaborately packaged."

he stated while fiddling with the green envelope. Yaten and Taiki looked over his shoulder at the letter, which was obviously written in Japanese characters.

"Oh great. This is something from Earth. Do any of you guys know kanji anymore?"

Embarrassed, Yaten looked down at the floor.

"Ahem, well, actually that was more of a cover, going to school in Tokyo. I didn't really listen that much in class."

Taiki, on the other hand, had yet to comment, but seemed eager to study the characters. Thoughtfully, he furrowed his brow while Seiya gave him impatient looks

"Mhm, so if I'm getting it together right, this in here is a gift and to be taken as a sort of belated "thank you" for so bravely helping the Sailor warriors fight Galaxia back in the day."

Seiya looked at his bandmate somewhat uncomprehendingly

"And then they send us such a clunky package here? Who is it from exactly?"

Taiki now looked back at the two guys a bit perplexed

"Well, that's what's actually strange about the whole thing... the present comes from Uranus and Neptune."

"What, from those two bitches? I always thought they couldn't stand us to death? They would have loved to barbecue us back then! Why on earth do they suddenly want to give us something now? And then the letter is also addressed to Seiya... their number one hate object... WHY?"

No one could really make sense of this rather strange story. It was finally Seiya who took heart and told the others in a certain tone

"Now let's open the package first and see what's inside. If need be, we'll send it back to the two cows on their stupid planet. By air and time mail."

No sooner said than done, the three were busily removing the package. After a short time they looked at an oversized gift, wrapped in bright pink wrapping paper, as well as with another envelope attached just below a red gift bow.

Seiya immediately tore open this envelope as well, staring uncomprehendingly at a mixture of numbers, characters, and letters.

"So, what does it say?"

Seiya's eyes narrowed and he began to read the jumble intently. At the same time, Yaten and Taiki removed the cheesy wrapping paper and were astonished to be confronted with the contents

"U-5S:A/G-30.06I."

The black-haired singer looked up from the letter. The sight that confronted him was simply beyond words... although it was, as his face literally brightened and his lips formed a pet name with supreme excitement...

"BUN-HEAD!!"
