Part 2: Daphne of Pluto

Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon.

This part 2 of my story. Sorry it took me to long to write. Writer's Block. But now I'm better, so here it is.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sol, why do people eat this stuff?" asked a 15 year old Helios.

"It's good." said Sol. They were talking about a piece of candy.

"But there is no nourish value in it."

"It taste good. Have a piece."

"Okay." Helios took a piece and ate it. "It's good."

"I told you so."

Sol and Helios were walking around the city. Over the years, they became friends. Helios can tell Sol anything and ask anything, too.

"Helios, I need to pick up something. I will be back in a minute." said Sol.

"Okay." said Helios.

Sol went into a shop and Helios stayed there and was looking at some of the stores, then something out of the corner of his eye. A girl about his age. She was coming out of a store and then, she left.

"What are you looking at?" said Sol.

"I saw somebody." said Helios.

"Who? Do I know them?"

"I don't know who she is."

"A mystery girl. This sounds interesting. What does she look like?"

"Like... like... like... I can't explain her. She beautiful."

"The young prince is in love," pretending that he is about to cry, "I thought I never see the day."

"I'm not in love. Besides, I can't be in love because I'm arrange to be marry to a 13 year old princess, who is about to became queen of the most powerful kingdom."

"What happen to the princess of the most powerful kingdom?"

"The princess of Crystal Tokyo, you mean. She disappeared out of nowhere. She was probably kidnapped by a maid that disappeared that same night."

"Two mystery."

"That will never be solved."

"Never say never."

"You are impossible."

"You sound like my wife."

"How is she, by the way?"

"Fine."

"What about that girl she came with?"

"Oh, Daphne. She's fine. She actually coming over tonight, want to come?"

"I can't. Big dinner tonight. We probably need to get back."

"We should."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So anything happened, today?" said Terra to Sol.

"Yeah, actually." he replied.

"What?"

"Prince Helios and I was walking around the city and he saw this girl and fell in love. You?"

"Prince Helios in love. Ha! I didn't know he can."

"You can hold a grudge."

"I can't help it, he's a brat. I don't know how you can be away him all the time."

"I get pay."

"Good point."

"So, what did you do today?"

"Clio sent me out to do some shopping and picking things up."

"Like what?"

"I had to pick up some fabric in the main shopping center."

"I was there today, too. When were you there."

"A hour after midday."

"Me, too. I was in a store across the street."

"I didn't see you."

"Time to eat." interrupted Echo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I going to be so bored." said Helios.

"Why?" said Sol.

"There is only going to be rich families."

"Maybe I can make it interesting."

"How?"

"I think I know your mystery girl is."

"Who?"

"I not telling you. It's going to be a surprise."

"And how are you expecting to do that?"

"Just give me an invitation and I will give it to her."

"You're not going to play a trick on me."

"I won't do that to you."

"Where did I hear that one before?"

"Hey! I never trick you with something this serious."

"Yeah right."

"You don't mess with love like that."

"Whatever you say, but how will I get an invitation?"

"Say it's for Daphne."

"Won't work. They know I hate her."

"Say it's a favor for me."

"Okay. That is somewhat believable."

"Okay."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why do I have to go to the stupid ball?" said Terra.

"Because we want you to." said Echo.

"Why? They're only be snobs."

"Terra."

"And Helios will be there."

"So, you will have someone to talk to."

"Talk to him, don't make me laugh. He's a brat and he dislike me."

"It been 10 years."

"So."

"You change, so why can't he?"

"I doubt it. How do I look?"

"Beautiful."

Terra was wearing her most beautiful dress she had. It was Clio's when she was younger. It was simple, but elegant.

"I think I should be going." said Terra.

"Yeah. Do you want Sol to walk you there?" asked Echo.

"No. You just lived next to the castle."

"Okay. Be back by midnight."

"I will try. Bye."

"Bye."

Terra left Sol's and Echo's house, and walk to the main entrance of the castle. First, she didn't want to go in, but she did. For a hour, she sat in the corner of the ballroom making sure no one saw her. Then, she decide to get out of there for a minute, so she went to the balcony.

Meanwhile on the other side of the room, Helios was the main attraction. All the girls, that was not taken, was around him. He dance with everyone of them.

"Excuse me, I need to take a break." he said.

And with that he left. He saw no one on the balcony, so he went up there. Then when he got there, he saw his mystery girl. She was more beautiful than he remember.

"Excuse me, can I ask for your name?" he said.

"You forget who I am, it figures." she replied.

""We met before, but I would have remember."

"Let me refresh your memory. You're a brat"

"Daphne!"

"Yes."

"It can't be."

"I'm afraid so."

"No way."

"Why? You can't believe I'm this beautiful."

"Yes."

"You do."

"I'm so sorry of whatever made you hate me."

"You're agonizing. It's amazing."

"Why?"

"When I met you, you were a brat."

"I was, wasn't I?"

"Yes, you were."

"You were kind of one, too."

"I guess I was."

"Yeah. Guess we matured."

"I guess we have."

"Want to dance?"

"Sure."

Helios put out his arm, Terra took it, and together they walked down the stairway, to the dance floor. Everybody was wondering who was with the prince. They dance for hours. They stopped 30 minutes before midnight when he walked her to Sol's and Echo's house. Sol saw them from the window and watched them.

"Can I see you again?" said Helios.

"Yes." said Terra.

"Tomorrow."

"Okay."

"At midday."

"Sure."

"In the Spring Garden?"

"By the fountain?"

"Yeah."

Helios took her hand and kissed it.

"Good night." he said.

"Good night." she replied.

He left and Terra went in the house where Echo was there.

"So, how was it?" she said.

"The greatest." Terra replied.

"Did you meet anyone?"

"A handsome young man that I totally, deeply in love with."

"Who?"

"The young prince, himself." said Sol who just walked in the room.

"How did you know?"

"I saw you walking with him."

"You're spying on me."

"Hey, you use to on me and Psyche."

"I did not."

"Yes, you did."

"I was young."

"I'm young."

"I was 5 or 6."

"So."

"So, I didn't know better."

"You guys stop it," said Echo, "It's late, we need to go to sleep."

"Yeah, so you can meet your love tomorrow." said Sol.

"You're so immature." Terra replied.

"Thank you."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where have you been?" said Sol to Helios that just got back from a picnic with Terra.

"Out." Helios replied.

"Out, where?"

"Just out."

"I need to know."

"Why?"

"Because I'm your bodyguard and I need to know where you're at 24 hours a day, 7 days of week."

"I was with Daphne. Happy?"

"Yeah. You have been seeing a lot of Daphne. Can I ask you something?"

"Yes."

"You like her, don't her?"

"I don't like her, I love her."

"You can't. You're suppose to get marry to the princess of the Inner Kingdom."

"I know, but..."

"But what?"

"I don't know. I just want to be with Daphne forever."

"Did you tell her this?"

"Yes."

"And what did she say?"

"She felt the same way."

"But you know nothing about her."

"So, you know nothing about Psyche when you married her."

"Yes, I did. Besides, you been going out for 2 months. Psyche and I went out for 6 months."

"So."

"So, you are both young. Wait a year and then see if you fell the same way."

"Okay."

"Okay."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Daphne, can you tell me something about your family, like your parents?" said Helios. They were in a field of flowers looking at the clouds together.

"Like what?" replied Terra.

"What are they like?"

"Okay. My father was a musician. He can play any instrument, but he was best on the flute. When he plays one, he puts you in a trance. It was so beautiful."

"And your mother?"

"She was so beautiful. She had long light blue hair. It's goes on forever. Her voice was so sweet. I can still hear it. They were both fun to be around."

"Do you miss them?"

"Ever single day. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"What happened to your mother?"

"When I was 1, she got sick and died."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be. I hardly remember her."

"Do you know anything about her?"

"No. I don't try to bring it up. I felt that it would make my father sad."

"I bet she was beautiful and sweet."

"I think so, too. Did you hear the news about Crystal Tokyo?"

"What?"

"That the princess and the prince died."

"How?"

"Murder."

"What?"

"Somebody killed them in there sleep."

"What time is it?"

"I don't know. A couple hours after midday, why?"

"I think I need to get going."

"I can go with you."

"I need to go alone."

"Okay."

Terra left the spot they were at and when she got out of his sight, she begin to run and to cry. She ran all the way to Sol's and Echo's house. She knocked on the door and Echo answered it.

"What's wrong?" asked Echo.

"Can I come in?" said Terra.

"Yes."

Terra went in the house.

"Can you tell me what's wrong?"

"My parents are..." Then Terra just burst into tears.

"What happen to your parents?"

"They're... they're dead."

"How do you know?"

"Helios told me this afternoon."

"I'm sorry you have to hear it that way."

"Echo, I need to go back."

"Not yet."

"Why?"

"The time is not right."

"When is it? My parents are dead and my grandparents are not getting younger."

"Terra..."

Then Sol walked in.

"Did you just called her, Terra?" he said.

"You need to tell him." said Terra.

"Tell me, what?"

"The truth about us." said Echo.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I understand." said Sol. Echo and Terra just finish telling him the truth about their past.

"You do." said Terra.

"Yes, I would do the same for Helios."

"Should I tell him?"

"No." said Echo.

"Why?"

"You, can't." said Sol.

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because, why?"

"Because you just can't tell him."

"Why can't I tell him? I love him."

"Don't say that." said Echo.

"Say what? I love him. I do, I really do. I want to spend my life with him."

"Terra don't make it more difficult than its all ready is."

"Make it more difficult. How can I?"

"I think you should stop seeing Helios." said Sol.

"What? Echo, don't say you agree."

"I do." said Echo.

"What?"

"Terra you got to understand."

"Understand what? You need to understand I love him and nothing, I mean nothing you can do will ever stop me from loving Helios."

And with that she left. She ran home, to Clio's house, and went to her room and stayed there for a couple of days.

Sol told Helios, Terra didn't want to see him any more. He took it hard. If you listen good even you can hear his heart break.

Helios decided go hear it from Terra's mouth, so he went to her house. He knocked on the door and Clio answered it. Sol told her not to let Helios see Terra, no matter what.

"What do I own this pleasure?" said Clio.

"I want to see Daphne, please." he replied.

"Sorry, she doesn't want to see you."

"But I need to talk to see her. I would die, if I don't see her."

"Sorry, but..."

"I just need to hear she doesn't love me from her mouth, that all I ask of you."

"Okay, but..."

"Thank you. I forever be in your debt."

"She is in her room."

Helios went upstairs and knocked on Terra's door.

"Go away." said Terra.

"Daphne can I come in?" said Helios.

Terra got up and run to the door. She unlocked the door and opened it. Helios was standing there about to leave. She hugged him and started to cry.

"What's wrong?" asked Helios.

"Everything." Terra replied.

"Like what, Daphne?"

"Sol doesn't want me to see you."

"What? Sol told me you don't want to see me. It's not true?"

"Yes, it's not true. I love you more than ever."

Helios kissed her with all his heart. "I love you, too. I can't wait any longer. Daphne, I want to be with you forever." Then he go down on his knees.

"What are you doing?"

"Daphne, I love you more than anything. Will you marry me?"

Terra was shocked. She didn't expected it.

"Daphne, yes or no?"

"Yes."

"You will?"

"Yes, I will."

Helios got up and kissed her. Then, he took a ring from a silver chain that was around his neck and slipped it on Terra's finger.

"This was my mother's. I want you to have it."

"It's beautiful and it's fits perfectly. Thank you. I will never let it leave this finger."

"I glad you like it."

"Like it. I love it."

"More than me?"

"Just a little bit."

"Do you?"

"I don't love it because it's beautiful."

"Then why do you love it?"

"Because it was your mother's and that you must really love me to give it to me because it must hold a special place in your heart because you always wore it around you neck."

"You know me so well. You are just to good to be true."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helios and Terra told Clio a couple minutes later and Sol and Echo a week later. Sol wasn't as excite as the others. He know it can ruin both Helios' and Terra's lives.
