*****Realizations*****
A very bloated Sailor Ceres was furiously pacing before her hungover king. No
one in the entire kingdom wanted to be in his shoes at this moment. His wife
was still unconcious, his daughter was still missing, his head was still
spinning, and a pregnant Sailor Ceres was extremely angry with him. It just
wasn't his day. So he did the one thing he could think of.
"Ceres go talk to Ami she knows more about what's going on than I do. And
make sure you get Pallas to give you something to eat, I'm sure you're
famished." With that he practically ran into his bedchambers to sleep.
"Argh! Men! I can't stand them! But, yeah maybe I am hungry. Oh Pallas! Come
here dear! Breakfast time for the little ones!" Ceres mumbles turned into a
sing song as she went on, traveling in her own hormone induced world.
A raggedy looking Pallas came around the corner still in her bedclothes. She
groaned as she saw Ceres up and about and suddenly cheery but ready to blow
with anger at any moment. She sighed and went up to her friend who she had
become nursemaid to. "Ok, ok! Let's go get you and your little army that
you're carrying some breakfast. Then perhaps I can go back to bed."
In her heart she missed Small Lady greatly, but in her mind she was ready to
strangle the girl for leaving her with the duty of nursemaid to the pregnant
sailor scout.
As the two women wandered down the hazy hallway, lit by thick strips of
morning light they both thought of their missing friend and wondered why
fate had not given them the opportunity to persuade her to stay.
***
Elios awoke under a tree in his own home of Elysion wondering what had
happened. Small Lady had apparently kicked him out as soon as she woke up,
leaving him lying in his own world.
He stood and brushed himself off while he wondered why she was in this
condition. In his mind he remembered her voice as it broke through tears and
told him of her broken heart. -How could anyone not love her?- He wondered to
himself.
As he mused on the subject a light began to shine on his memories as he began
to remember the past as if it were a slide show in his mind.
*The small girl held the treasure close as she cried with all her might for
him not to go. She begged him to stay with her and swore that she would never
let him go.*
*The transformed girl who now appeared as a teenager cried as in her heart
she beat the magical power that had changed her and turned herself back into
a little girl. The small girl then ran to him for comfort in losing that
which she wanted most but could not have yet.*
*Her eyes lit up with a beautiful glow as he transformed from Pegasus into
Elios before her and looking down at her he could not help but kiss her.*
The breath he had been unknowingly holding came to him suddenly and he then
understood. He knew what he had to do.
***
Small Lady decided she needed an alias to use. After all she wouldn't get
very far if she told people her true name. She thought about all the names
and faces of people she knew and decided to use the name Ikuko. Her mother of
the past would be proud of her decision to go.
Her feet ached and her shoulders slumped slightly as the weight of her pack
was beginning to slow her. Slowly over the horizion she saw a small village.
-Oh finally! I'm so hungry and I need a change of clothes!- She thought to
herself, sounding like her young mother without realizing it.
The ache and tire in her seemed to dissappear as she ran to the village and
into a dressmaker's shop.
A little bell that hung on the door chimed and a plump woman with worn hands
but a charitable smile came out from a back room. "Welcome to Hilda's! How
may I help you?"
Small Lady smiled at the woman, liking her instantly. "Good day. I am in need
of some new clothes. A pair of clothes to travel in and perhaps a good set of
work clothes. Nothing too fancy but enough so that they will last a good
while."
The woman nodded and headed towards a stack of cloth. She sorted through the
piles as she glanced over at Small Lady to make sure the colors and textures
were right for her. As she hemmed and hawed to herself about measurements and
thread types Small Lady looked around the quaint shop. The seamstresses here
had great talent, especially in woven laces. Perhaps she should have a
peacoat made to go over the work gown, one that she could wear to parties and
the like. Yes, that sounded nice.
"You have wonderful lace here. I've never seen a likeness. Perhaps I could
have an peacoat made to go over the work gown with this lace as the
trimmings?" The young woman requested.
The older woman smiled and nodded her approval. "That can be arranged. Here
are the materials that will be used. Do they please you?"
The girl nodded and held the pile of cloth and string that the woman had
handed to her. "Yes, they are just fine."
"Wonderful! If you have time now I can get your measurements and begin on
them today."
"I have plenty of time." The pink haired girl smiled and followed the woman
into a smaller room that was seperated from the main room by a curtain.
After the measurements were finished Small Lady left the shop to find
something to eat and a place to stay the night.
