Disclaimer: I think that since this is posted at fanfiction.net, it pretty much gives itself away that I don't own the characters or anything. Some of the plot is mine, some of it isn't- I pulled stuff from the manga and anime. Now GET OFF MY CASE! I'M TRYING TO WRITE HERE!!!

"Mama!" the little boy cried, reaching up to grab his mother's face.
"Yes, Darien?" she smiled down at him. They sat out on the lawn outside the palace where they lived in Elysion. Here the sunshine was always a beautiful yellow and the sky a perfect blue. A rainbow of flowers peeked out amongst the emerald grass and trees gave just the right amount of shade, giving the whole a dreamy effect.
"Mama!" he said again, for sheer pleasure of saying the word.
"Yes, darling, I am your mother," Beth hugged him tightly, loving the little giggle that escaped him as he was semi-crushed by someone who loved him. The toddler hugged her back and then wriggled free to see the newcomers.
Five little boys ran up the slight incline to join them, breathless with the excitement of their game. They plopped down on the grass, all speaking at once.
"Hush, boys, hush!" Beth laughed, settling Darien back in her lap. The sun glinted off her auburn hair and young features. "One at a time!"
"We saw a bird, Queen!" Malachite cried.
"It was a big bird!" Jeadite seconded.
"This big!" Nephlite tried to show with his hands, but was too small, and fell over with the effort, making them all laugh.
"I think it was a hawk," Zoisite said as the laughter died, coming to sit right next to Beth so he wouldn't have to speak very loudly. He was a very quiet child. "It has the right shaped wings and beak and everything."
"My, a hawk!" Beth gasped appropriately. "How very clever of you, Zoisite!"
"Your majesty," Helios, the smallest and youngest boy piped up. "It flew so beautifully- the men aren't going to shoot him down, are they?" he asked worriedly.
Beth regarded this pale, white-blond boy. "No, Helios," she said seriously. "No one will ever hunt in these woods. This land is a haven to all animals who accept the terms of peace. Your hawk will not be shot."
"He's not my hawk," Helios insisted. "He's free. I don't own him."
"Why are you always so worried about not owning things, Helios?" Nephlite asked, bored.
"Because I don't own them," Helios said gravely. "All creatures deserve to be free to live their dreams. They're innocent and only hurt people when they have been hurt."
"Ma?" Darien twisted around to see his mother's face.
She smiled reassuringly. "Yes, dear, that's enough sunshine for now. Why don't we go inside and have snacks?" she addressed the group and was met for very enthusiastic 'yes'es.
