Usagi's eyes filled with wonderment. "Chibiusa, is that really you?"
The pink haired girl rolled her eyes and said with a sarcastic tone, "You still haven't changed, have you, Mama?"
Usagi burst into tears and scrambled over to hug her daughter. They embraced for several seconds, the other girls just staring, confused as to why Chibiusa returned. They all agreed later on that they were most definitely meant to be mother and daughter. Although they seemed complete opposites, their hearts are identical of gold.
Rei closed the door behind her, and came to see what was happening. She had a weak smile on her grin, hoping to encourage Usagi, but as well, had her suspicions as to why Chibiusa came back.
"I don't mean to sound rude, hon, but why are you back?" Minako asked. Her eyes were bright and joyous.
"Minako-san!" Chibiusa ran from Usagi's arms, and into Minako's. They all went into a big group hug. Except for Rei, who was standing by the hallway entrance. As they released from their hug, Chibiusa shrugged carelessly. "Oh, to be honest, I'm not too sure, myself. All I know is that I was sent here because there was going to be some change.. Like a potential, change, I mean."
Ami's eyebrows knitted in thought. "Like what?"
Chibiusa pouted, trying to remember. "Something like a situation will come where Mama's gonna have to choose between the future given to her, with me and Papa; or an alternate lifestyle." Everyone could tell that Chibiusa, herself, didn't quite understand. "If she chooses the different path set before her, then she wouldn't be a senshi, or a Moon Princess, and none of you will be her princesses. Something like that."
Makoto blinked several times. "This is serious!"
Ami nodded in agreement. "It must be if Chibiusa-chan must be sent back. Maybe as a reminder for Usagi-chan?"
All five heads turned towards Usagi, who was nibbling on her fingernail. "I don't like the sound of this, minna." She chuckled uncomfortably. "But I'll make the right choice, ne?"
The girls looked at one another in curiousity, while Rei just stood. Her eyes narrowed, as she looked onto Usagi. Her eyes jolted open when she knew. She saw a glimpse of the future with her intution right then, and she saw. Rei bit her bottom lip with anxiety. "Usagi-chan," she thought to herself. "This might just be the most difficult decision you'll face yet."
- - - -"I'll be back in a second," Seiya murmured, as he waved his hand behind him, as he head for the door.
Yaten and Taiki sat up straight in their couch. "But you just came back!" Yaten commented in frustration. "We need to work on those songs to contact our princess! I think that the time is coming near, Seiya."
Taiki narrowed his eyes on his friend. "You're not going to visit Usagi, are you?"
Seiya stopped in his tracks and looked back at the two men on the couch. "I'll be back soon. Ja ne." Before he heard any more protests, he closed the door lightly behind him, and stared out before him. He shook his head and chuckled. "What a rural planet this is." He stepped off the driveway, and started jogging, shielding his head from the pouring rain. He knew this route all too well, and it seemed as if this was the most important time that he travelled it.
As he arrived to his destination, he cleared his throat, and just stood at the doorway. He pouted, rubbing his chin. "What do I say?" he thought. "I just can't ask her if she has a daughter, that's for sure." He shrugged, and decided to act on his gut feeling. He rang the doorbell. No answer. He rang again. "That's odd," he thought. As he was turning around, he noticed a note taped onto the door. It read: "Mama, Papa, I'm off to Rei-chan's house to study. Be back at ten! Bye! -Usagi". Seiya tapped his foot in frustration. He hadn't the slightest clue where to get to Rei's house. He started walking off the driveway, when he caught a taxi in sight. He whistled for it, and it arrived next to him. He cautiously climbed in.
"Where to, son?" the taxi driver asked.
"A Miss Hino Rei's house..?" he asked with a slight bit of anxiety. He hoped that this man knew who Odandgo's friend, Rei, lived.
"Ah, the shinto priestess? Right away."
Seiya sat back in the seat, a little surprised. "A shinto priestess," he thought to himself. "Impressive. I'm sure Yaten would get a kick out of that.."
Moments passed, and it seemed as if he would be stuck in this taxi cab forever. As he stared out the window at the downcast weather, he sighed. "Princess."
