~#*(Previously)*#~
She woke up to heavy banging on the door, "Rini!!! OPEN THIS DOOR NOW!! Come on Small Lady, I want to talk!!" called her best friend who happened to be Queen Hotaru,
Grumbling under her breath Rini looked in the mirror and saw she was a total wreck, preforming a quick hair fixing charm, she undid the magical seal on her room, and lay back down.

Chapter 3 - The Day is Just Full of Surprises
Hotaru walked into the room and saw a very upset Rini, laying on her bed, back turned to her. "Rini? Are you ok?" she asked softly.
"Does it look like I'm ok?" the pink-haired princess snapped back in a very soft, and tear coated voice.
"I'm sorry Rini, I really am... Minako said... well Rini she told us about your link with...Helios... but it was well... too late to stop the ball... invitations had already been sent out." she walked over to the bed and sat down, touching her best friend's shoulder gently. "Rini, your dad is really feeling bad for the ball."
Rini rolled over, and looked at her friend with puffy red eyes, "Hota-chan, why would he feel sorry, HE is the one who decided on the ball."
"No Rini, your mother decided to have it, not your father."
"What?!"
"You heard me,she doesn't seem too worried about you being this upset. Said something about it going along perfectly."
Rini paused a moment then glared at thin air, "What is she up to?"
"Dunno, but she seems to think you'll be very happy afterwards."
"Hn. I'll only be happy if I'm with Helios again." she crossed her arms stubbornlly, "not with some other big shot bozo prince, who thinks 'he's all that'!" she growled angrilly. "I'm sorry Hotaru, but can you leave me alone for a little while? I don't want to talk to anyone right now..."
"Sure Rini. Just remember, your dad didn't know about your re-bonding with Helios. Don't hold it against him Ok? Please?"
"I'll try... alright?"
"I guess. By Rini-chan."
"Hold up! You didn't call me hime for once!!! The world's coming to an end!!"
Hotaru blushed involuntarily, "oops?" she paused before pulling a more serious face, "I'm sorry Hime, won't happen again."
"NO! Please! Stop calling me HIME! It's just Rini. Hota-chan, you are my BEST friend, and best friends don't use stupid titles."
Smiling Hotaru nodded slowly, "Ok Rini... bye for now..."
"Bye H-chan."
"Oh by the way, before I go... I think you should know that the ball is tomorrow evening so guests will be arriving all day today and tomorrow..." Warned Hotaru, before leaving her young pink haired princess to her thoughts.
"Oh goody!! This is just going to be a ball!" she mumbled (No pun intended), closing her eyes and trying to go back to sleep.
However it wasn't so, because just as she was finally dozing off, a knock on her balcony door, woke her back up. In her half asleep state, she didn't register just which door it was that had been knocked on, so she got up, straightened her atire, and opened her room door to find no one there. "What the-"
She was cut off by another knock... on her balcony door. Curious as to who it was, she went over and opened it. "*Gasp* Oh My GOSH!" she took a step back, trying to register that she wasn't seeing things. "Pegasus?" she whispered, before flinging herself at him and hugging him at the neck. "you're here! Your really here!"
~Yes Love, I'm here, and I wont leave you.~ he nuzzled her shoulder, with his nose, affectionately.
"Thank you." she whispered into his mane. They stood there like that for a while before Rini spoke up again. "Can we get out of here for a little while? I just want to get away from them..."
~Of course Love. Climb on.~ so Rini got no his back and held him tight as he took off into the mid-day air.
They flew for a long time, until Rini could no longer see the Crystal palace.
"My love, where are we going?" she asked uncertainly when they continued to fly, this time, straight through a soft blue portal.
~It's a surprise. Don't you trust me?~
"What? Of course I trust you. I trust you with all my heart. It was a question only."
~Good because we are here.~ they flew down and he landed in a very small clearing. When Rini climbed off he transformed back into Helios, and smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist, "Shall we?" and he began to lead a slightly amused Rini out of the clearing and into the forest surrounding them.
"Apparently we shall." she giggled "But where are we going?"
"Did I not tell you it would be a surprise. Think of it as a cheer up treat for you. You were very depressed earlier. A frown is not something I like seeing on the beautiful face, of the heir to the throne of Crystal Tokyo." he tightend his left arm around her waist as he took her right hand in his.
They continued to walk like this until the tree's began to lessen and she slowly saw the moon's rays through the trees up ahead illuminating a clearing. But it was not like the other clearing. (A/N: Remember, they went straight through a portal earlier. This is sort of an...enchanted realm so to speak.)
For one it was MUCH larger, and it had many lanterns hovering magically above the trees giving light enough for her to see the countless wild flowers growing there. The light also reflected off a crystal clear lake, and around the lake were small houses, no bigger than 30cm in height. These houses looked like beautiful rainbow toadstools and as they actually stepped out into the clearing, Rini realised that that was exactly what they were.
The the sweet melody of a soft enchanting meldoy reached her ears, and she noticed for the first time that they were not alone in the clearing. There were many little faeries fluttering about, eatting, dancing, playing games, watching plays, or just mingling.
It looked like the scene was taken right out of a gorgeous fairytale story book.
"Oh my gosh. It's so beautiful..." Rini whispred, not wanting to break the calming serenity that this place left her feeling.
"It is isn't it..." smiled Helios, when a few startled heads turned their way,
"Lord Helios. Tis an honour to converse with thee again." this was spoken by young looking faerie, though his eyes looked as though they held wisdom of centuries.
"Yes it is pleasent. I see your clan is in festivities as usual." he smiled warmly, as the faerie muttered a charm and in a swirl of magic, he appeared the same size as them, no longer about the height of an apple and a half
"Of course. There is always merryment to be enjoyed in our hidden land of eternal peace." Helios briefly let go of Rini's hand to shake that of the faerie's but once they let go, he immediately took hold of her's again, missing the warm tingling feeling her touch constantly sent through his body.
"And who is thy lovely accompanyment to our humble home?" asked the faerie, taking Rini's free hand and giving it a gentle kiss, good naturedly, and releasing it all in good timing, just showing pure manners.
"This, my friend, is Small lady, but most of her friends call her Rini. A shortend form of her name."
"And you friend? What do you call this beautiful maiden." asked a faerie whom was clearly older then the on they were speaking with.
A soft smile graced Helios's features as his eyes turned to the pink haird princess in his arms. "Me?" he questioned softly, "I call her love..." his smile widened when she looked up and blushed softly. He gave her a gentle squeeze before lightly brushing his lips over her's.
Most of the faeries gasped, then smiled, happy that their friend and ally had found his happiness, "I see...well we wish you both much happiness, and any friend, or cherished one in this case, of the guardian of dreams, is a friend of ours. Come join us in celebration, so we may toast to our new trusted one."
Now Rini looked a bit embarrassed and confused, "Um aren't we a bit... big..." she asked softly. Her blush only darkened when many faeries laughed good naturedly.
"Yes, you are, but it can be fixed for the time being... with your permison of course." smiled the elder elf.
Rini looked uncertainly at Helios whom only smiled encouragingly, "Do not worry yourself love. They shall return us to this size when we wish to leave." she nodded slowly, and a shy smile found it's way onto her lips as she nodded again, though this time to the faeries.
"Ok, shrink away." she heard Helios chuckle from deep within his throat, before she felt him nod as well.
"Unyam'arlay so'oontomatos creeona'apata shinkuro'oru" the enlarged faerie said in some language she could not understand but she had no time to contemplate what it meant for she felt a rush of unfamiliar magic enter her and a funny feeling like she was being deflated filled her. She shut her eyes tight and turned in Helios's arms, hugging him tightly around his waist too, burying her head in his chest.
When the strange feeling finally stopped, Rini refused to move from her love's comforting embrace. "It's ok Love, that was just a side-affect of the spell. You can look now."
Slowly, Rini turned her head to the left and opened her eyes. She saw many smiles and all at her height, not bellow her. She looked up and saw the tree's tower over her maybe some 200 times her size. Then she blushed deeply, expecting them to laugh at her foolishness... but no one did...
"Do not worry yourself Small Lady. Most have that same reaction the first time they are enlarged or shrunken. It's quite normal."
"Really?" she asked timidly
"Yes of course. We are all afraid of unfamiliarity. There is nothing to be ashamed ashamed of.. Now come. Enjoy yourselves while the night is still young. And so are we."
Rini smiled and nodded eagerly. Helios just laughed again and they followed the faeries back to the party for some fun...

No....I'm not dead... and yes... it's a miracal, I updated... but I've been really out of it these past weeks, and...I dunno... my brain just didn't want to work I guess... anyways... tell me what you think..... Good, Great, Bad, Sucks... I dunno... it's up to you so REVIEW and I'll be more motivated to write more!!! :)
