Dreams of Reality
~#*(LAST TIME)*#~
Slowly, Rini turned her head to the left and opened her eyes. She saw many smiles and all at her height, not below 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 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...
~#*(NOW)*#~
Chapter 4 - Of Love, Of Romance and Of The PARTY!!! (Pronounced as àPAR-TAY!!!ß)
The music sounded again, and many faeries got up and danced in circles as the older ones and more tired ones sat at the beautiful emerald tables, chatting and drinking merrily.
"Ooooo! That dance looks so pretty!! How do they do it?!!" exclaimed Rini in awe as even young children joined in the circle, which was conveniently around the large (Or small considering their size) bon fire.
"I'll show you." smiled Helios, excusing them from the elder Faeries' presence. "Ok watch me closely then follow my lead, it's really very simple." he took a hold of her waist and began the dance slowly, until Rini fell into the flow of it, then they sped it up to the speed the others were doing it at.
Giggling madly, gave a soft whoop of hurray, "I'm doing it!" she laughed hugging Helios. "Thank you. Come on!! Let's join in!!" she laughed, taking hold of his hand.
"You go ahead. I think I'll sit for a little while first."
"Ok, your loss!" she smiled, brushing her lips against his briefly, before turning and jogging to the dancers, slipping into the circle between two older women.
"Quite a lively one isn't she." smiled the elder faerie to his right, as they watched Rini dance along side the other faeries only stumbling once or twice when they shifted directions.
"Yes, and a very fast learner." grinned another,
"Where is she from?" asked an elder female faerie sitting at the same table.
"The land of the humans." at Helios's words, many gasped and turned to the pink haired girl dancing with their kin,
"Helios? Is it true? But wait, it can't be. All from the land of humans are evil. None as pure or innocent as your chosen one..."
"I'm afraid it is true. Do not hold it against her old friend. She is one of a kind... Besides She is half lunarian. Her mother is Neo-Queen Serenity of Crystal Tokyo, and she is by right the heir to the throne... but I do not think she will take it. She does not like all the attention her royal life gives her, nor or all the expectations many have of her..." he sighed, shifting his loving gaze to his ruby eyed love, as she giggled, waving over to the table.
"We trust you my friend... but can we trust your decision that could very well be blinded by love?" asked the faerie which had shrunk them in the first place.
"Yes you can. You would never have realised where her heritage lay had I not told you myself. So why are you now frightened of what I know she can and will never do?" asked Helios slightly irritated by the narrow mindedness of his long time friends.
"We will give the girl a chance then… for you sake. But should she try to do anything that may jeopardise our homes and we will never again welcome her here."
"I put my full faith in her. She is not like humans. She is pure and kind, and would never betray her friends and as you can see... she has already made quite a few..." he smiled nodding to where many children, and adults stood in a group, one little girl was tugging gently on her white dress. Rini scooped down and lifted the young faerie into her arms,
"And what's your name?" she giggled as the young girl hugged her tightly,
"Her name is Water-lily, " smiled her new friend Lotus, "She is my daughter. Currently 2000 years old..."
"Wow!" giggled Rini, "You sure look young for a 2 thousand year old,"
"If you convert it to a human lifespan then she would be about four..." smiled Lotus as she brushed her daughter's bangs from her eyes.
"Oh well that explains It." she smiled. Her grin widened when the little girl kissed her cheek and giggled, "Weenie"(Rini)
"Now how'd you find out what my name was, " she smiled, tapping Water-lily softly on the nose...
"If she were being tortured or was in a life or death situation, would she say our secrets or keep them hidden? Is she loyal and trustworthy?" asked the same elder
"Pasco. She waited for me for ten years, not hearing a word, and not once has she accepted another man. If that is not loyal and trustworthy, then what is?"
"Ten years is not a very long time Helios."
"To a half human it is. Think of it like five thousand years of your lives." he sighed.
Many murmured in astonishment and guilt. They had miss-judged greatly... After a few minuets, the elder female faerie spoke up, "We apologise dear friend, but do not hold it against us. It is natural after how the humans attempted to capture us many a time in order to have their selfish wishes granted..."
"All is forgiven," he smiled, eyes resting upon his love once again...
3 hours later, Helios and Rini stood near the edge of the forest, back to their normal sizes saying their final goodbyes before retreating into the thicket. "I have never had so much fun in my entire life!" giggled Rini, "Thank you so much for bringing me here Helios." she gave him her best smile as they stopped again in another clearing.
"You are quite welcome my love." he smiled as he brushed his lips against hers, if you are happy then I am happy. Now I need to return you to your home before someone realises that you are gone, so..." he trailed off as he stepped back and transformed into Pegasus once again, ~Climb on. ~
"Ok. But please take your time; I'm in no rush to get back. Believe me, the place is probably swarming with eligible princes by now." she frowned as she hopped onto his back.
~Very well Maiden, but if you ever need me, just call my name and I will be there~ Pegasus spoke telepathically as he took off into the air once again.
~*~*~*~*~
Helios landed a good distance away from the Crystal city, and once more transformed into Helios, "I really do not wish to let you go." He smiled gently down at his beloved and kissed her lightly, bringing his arms up and around her.
Leaning into his passionate embrace Rini moaned softly into their lip lock and Helios took this chance to slip his tongue into her mouth. They stayed together for at least another half an hour, kissing and nipping, nibbling sensitive and exposed skin, rolling in the grass, tickling and licking, teasing and seducing the other though it went no further. This time, they had managed to keep their self-control at an acceptable level.
The only thing to break them out of their dream-like state was the sound of marching soldiers' footsteps that were quickly approaching their location, "You had better leave quickly. Any money, that is a search party out looking for me." She sighed sadly engaging him in another passionate kiss.
Getting lost in the kiss again, Helios barely had time to mumble a yes before the soldiers began coming into view and he vanished in a flurry of soft white, glowing butterflies.
"Princess!!! Are you ok?!" exclaimed Venus, as she bolted up the rest of the hill towards the previously missing hime.
"I'm fine Mina." She said softly, rolling over to face one of her mother's loyal court.
Mina instantly drank in her hime's appearance and sent the guards back to the palace, to the their Majesties to call off the search, "Tell them I'm with the princess and we'll be back and presentable in time for dinner." Smiled Venus as the guards bowed and began the trek back to the Crystal Palace.
Once they were completely out of eyesight and earshot, Mina de-transformed back to normal (Just plain old Mina! ^_^) and plopped down beside Rini, "Sooo…. Where is he?" she smiled lying down beside her niece and looking at her meaningfully.
"Where's who?" asked Rini slightly worried though she never showed it upon her face.
"The guy who's got you looking like you just had a heavy make out session…. Which I'm guessing that you have." She grinned
"I- I have no idea what you're talking about." Insisted Rini, turning her head away as a blush crept onto her cheeks.
"Sure you don't." agreed Mina sarcastically, "Come off it Rini. Your lips are swollen, you have love bites all along your shoulders and neck, your clothes are a mess and you have grass all through your hair." Rini's blush only darkened
"Um… well…. Uh…"
"Don't even bother trying it princess. You seem to forget that you are talking to the queen of the planet of love and the daughter of the great goddess Aphrodite!" giggled Mina, "So where is he?"
"'He' who?" asked Rini attempting to stall as long as she could.
"Helios of course." She smirked as Rini snapped her head back to her,
"How did you…?"
"I know you chibi-hime. You love him to death and you certainly would let no other man touch you like… eh-hem… that." She nodded pointedly at her appearance.
Blushing beet red, Rini sat up and pulled her hair out of the ondangos, taking out the grass in it, before tying it back up. She stood and fixed her now dirty dress so she looked somewhat presentable. "Better?"
"Much, but you still haven't answered my question." Laughed Mina, standing and brushing herself off too.
"He left before anyone could see him. I can only imagine what mother and father would do or say if they saw him here… Especially here, alone together, and me looking like this."
"I'm gonna guess he was no more composed than you were." Giggled Mina brushing a bit of dirt off Rini's shoulder
"I should hope not. Not after our little fun." The pink haired princess giggled aunt and friend, as they hooked arms and walked down the hill to the city.
Upon arrival, Rini was wrapped in the tight embrace of her mother and father as they begged her NEVER to do that again.
"Do what? I went for a walk and next thing I know, half the military is out looking for me. Gees mum, you need a holiday!"
"Indeed I do sweetie." Nodded the Queen, rubbing her temple,
"Come on sprout, go get yourself cleaned up, and ready for dinner." Smiled Neo-King Endymion, bringing his daughter into a brief but tight embrace.
"Ok daddy…" she nodded and headed out alone, still looking a mess. Walking down the corridors of the castle, Rini noticed that yes indeed many prominent and 'eligible' princes were in fact already here.
"You over there, the servant girl. What are you doing in these halls? These are Royal chambers. Your filth is not permitted here." Stated a particularly snobby prince to Rini as she walked passed.
Freezing in her position Rini counted to ten and spun around glaring icily at the overly dressed prince. "So sorry your MAJESTY." Rini did a low sarcastic bow, "I had no idea you would be offended your MAJESTY." Another sarcastic bow, "I suggest you shut you mouth before you find yourself thrown out your MAJESTY." She bowed yet again, then straightened as an outraged yell fell past his lips.
"Guards I demand this servant girl's head!! She has insulted me deeply!!" he yelled to two passing royal guards. Turning, the two soldiers marched over, about to grab Rini when they realized whom she truly was. "Begging your pardon sire, but we can not arrest the young Miss." Stated one of the guards, noticing Rini smile at him and wink.
"Why not!?! I demand she be thrown out or at least whipped!" the princes yelling made Rini shake her head.
"Your majesty, if you managed to get your head out of the clouds and back on the land where it belongs, I think you would figure it out. Use your brain, or lack there of… you royal pain in the-"
"RINI! DON"T YOU EVEN DARE!!" called out Queen Minako walking up to the young hime,
"Oh phooey. You spoil all my fun Mina you know that… First before with you know who, doing you know what, and now again when I'm finally getting to take out my frustration over this whole god forsaken ball!!" rambled on Rini as she spun around and walked over to the golden door just ahead.
"Keep out of the princess's room! 'Tis not your own." Called the prince with another glare.
"Ehem." Mina cleared her throat and raised an eyebrow in amusement before following Rini's footsteps, "Oh and Prince Malcolm. If you ever speak to my niece like this again, I will kill you myself. No body talks to my cousin's daughter like this. She 'is' the princess you're here to court after all." Smirking at his shocked expression, she closed the door lightly behind her.
"Now you know why we would not touch her my lord." Laughed the guards, walking off down the hall again.
Ooooo yeah, who's back and ready with the last few chapters on her comp ready to go for this story!!! All you got to do is review for me and you'll get those last two chaps.... I want at least 10 reviews for this chap and I'll update the next one ^_^ So R+R If you wanna continue!!!!
