Firstly, let me just apologize for being so inconsiderate. America has just suffered a great tragedy, yet I forgot to express my condolences to you guys. Well, I express my heartfelt sympathy to everyone who has been affected by this heinous act. I'm not from America, yet I have lost someone dear to me. Again, I'm sorry.

Okay, well, thank you for all the kind reviews!! You really made my weekend (and made my cousin threaten to kill me…oh well). Somebody commented that it was very fairytale-esque. That was my initial intention. So, I take it you'll be looking out for my upcoming fic, The Sands of Time, huh?
(Not my vampire fic). It's my first attempt at the supernatural. It'll be cool, trust me. Okay, don't forget to review. Ja Ne!!

The next day, our princess woke up with a new feeling. She never had that much fun playing with her fairy friends as she did with the human prince the afternoon before. Serena knew that her mother would be very vexed if she found out that she was talking to humans, and having her mother disappointed in her was the last thing she wanted. So, Serena decided to stay and try to play with her friends. She had managed before, hadn't she? First, she stopped by the fountain, where she saw Ami perched on a rock, deep in a book. Her light blue wings were gently closed on her back and her matching dress fluttered softly in the calm breeze.

"Hi Ami!" she said as brightly as she could manage. Ami looked up and went back into her book. Serena frowned. Maybe she didn't hear her… "HI AMI!!!!" she shouted in her friend's ear, which caused her to scream.

"Serena!" she said, a hint of annoyance in her voice. She rubbed her right ear, while giving the princess a dark glare. Serena just closed her eyes and grinned.

"Do you wanna play tag?" she asked, flitting around the blue haired girl as she rolled her eyes.

"No," she said flatly, and went back to her book. "Ask Lita or the others." Serena looked at Ami become even more engrossed in her book. She simply shrugged and went in search of her other fairy friends. She had a lot of surplus energy to work off… Her search was short-lived as she found two of the girls seated on the grass. Lita was plaiting Mina's long golden hair, while she played with her fairy princess doll.

"Hiya, minna-san!" she said again, spreading her ray of sunshine. Too bad the others ignored it.

"Hey Serena," the red head answered dryly.

"Hi," Mina replied still playing with her doll. Serena wrinkled her brow. Maybe they won't be up to playing. But, it was still worth a try.

"Wanna play tag?" she asked for the second time in ten minutes.

"No," the two answered simultaneously and absently. Okay, her first initiative was correct. Oh well…

"Do you know where Rei-chan is?" she asked hopefully.

"Home," came the dead response. With a sniff, Serena flew away from the field. Rei has to want to play with her. She was her best friend, so that's what best friends do, right? Well, she thought the others were her best friends too. She flew up to Rei's house and realized she wasn't inside. Flying around the back, she found Rei on her swing, perfectly still. Her dark eyes were closed and she seemed totally oblivious to her surroundings. Serena grinned. This was the type of opportunity she lived for. Rei would never see her coming. She crept up silently behind the raven-haired girl, hoping that the chance of a lifetime wouldn't be the bust of a decade. Almost there…about a footstep away from her, Serena took a deep breath and let it out…

"BOO!!!" she shouted as loudly as she could.

"AAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Rei screamed, falling flat on her rear. Serena was ecstatic. She pointed at her friend and laughed, unaware of the added danger she was putting herself into…

"SERENA YOU IDIOT!!! IT TOOK ME WEEKS TO GO INTO SUCH A RELAXED STATE!!! JUST WHEN I HAD IT YOU HAD TO COME AND MESS IT UP!!!!!!" she screamed at the blonde fairy, who cowered at her friend's sudden outburst. When Serena deemed it safe to look, Rei's face was as red as her dress and she could swear she saw steam coming out her ears…

"Rei…" she started softly, when her friend's mood took a 180. Rei started…crying. Tears were coursing down her face and she sobbed almost inaudibly. She sat back down on her swing and sobbed some more, her scarlet wings hanging over her trembling form, as if to shield her. Serena was bewildered. She had never ever ever seen Rei cry. She usually made others cry, but not the other way around. Her heart heaved at the fact that she caused her friend such pain. She rested a cautious hand on her back.

"I…I'm…" she began, but Rei waved her away.

"Go away Serena, just go away…" she sobbed. Serena looked at Rei, before taking her instruction. Her white wings drooping, she flew away. She had managed to get everyone annoyed at her in some degree in less than half hour. Most of all, Rei would never talk to her again after this for sure. She felt herself so close to breaking down. She tried to hold it in, to be strong, but Serena eventually lost. Her sobs could be heard by anyone close by and they were so heart wrenching. She didn't know how long she wandered for, all she knew was that she was lost. She groaned. Not only can she brighten people's mood, but also she had a great sense of direction, no? As she tried to find her way back, Serena passed the little spring she found the previous afternoon. ~Nobody would find me here, not they would want to either~ Serena found a little rock to sit on and sat there. Once again, she began crying. What type of friend was she?

~*~

Now conveniently, our human prince was wandering around at the same time. Heero himself was feeling quiet bored and was hoping to find his newest playmate. It was a daunting challenge, but thanks to his precocious memory, he was able to remember the routes the manservant took when he led him out the day before. Now, it was time to put them to the test. The area looked familiar, but, this could also be because he got himself lost and wandered around probably the whole forest. He was still a bit apprehensive about being in this alien environment, there were probably some creatures still lurking around. Suddenly, he heard a sound. Heero stopped and listened. He was sure it was a cry of some beast. But, upon closer hearing, he realized it was the cries of a child, a girl to be exact. He walked blindly to the direction of the cries. He might have been scared, but Heero decided it might've been some poor girl lost, and he could lead her back to the Sanq. He got closer and closer, and as he pulled away the last bit of foliage, he gasped. It was the exact same spot Heero found himself at last afternoon. The spring still gushed the cool, pure water it did last time and the flora and fauna were the same as before. But something was out of place. Heero was closer to the cries of the young girl than he was before. He scanned the area and found her. She was perched on a rock by the gushing water, some of it sprinkling lightly on her. But, he noticed something. Her wings! That meant…

"Serena!" he called out. She stopped crying immediately and looked up at him. She smiled and wiped away her tears. Then, she flew over to him.

"Oh, Heero!" she said happily. "You're here again!" even though her face wore a happy expression, Serena still showed signs of having a good crying fit. This concerned him greatly.

"What's wrong?" he asked. Serena laughed and splashed him.

"Nothing!" she giggled. Serena flew forward and hit him hard. "Tag!" they played for the entire afternoon until twilight, when they were both exhausted.

"You're going to be here tomorrow, right?" Serena panted.

"Yeah," Heero said, barely breathing. They nodded and went their separate ways.

Now, the next afternoon, the queen was worried. She couldn't find her daughter anywhere. She was usually in her room, but it was empty. Serenity ran out into the field where she played with her friends. She found the four girls sitting in a circle.

"Do you girls know where Serena is?" she asked desperately. Rei shook her head and the queen could help notice the guilty looks on their faces. But, she couldn't inquire about that now. In a panic, she called her lady-in-waiting.

"Michelle, do you know where the princess is?" she asked, her voice etched in concern. The aqua-haired fairy shook her head.

"No, Your Grace, I haven't seen her since this morning," she replied. Serenity wrung her white hands.

"Please, help me look for her," she pleaded. Michelle bowed.

"I will," and with that, she flew off. Now, Michelle was at a slight loss. Firstly, she had no clue where a hyper little fairy princess could be, especially if she was bored out of her mind. She decided to fly away from the palace and its grounds, and searched for her high and low.

"Now, if I were Miss Serena, where would I be…?" she muttered as she swept her blue eyes over the area. All she could see was the thickest trees possible, with birds and various other animals minding their own business. She reverted into petite form and darted between the leaves and narrowly missed colliding with the forest residents. The sun was cool now and a gentle breeze blew over the land, hampering her movements and forcing her to go to her normal size. It was getting late, and Michelle was seriously considering turning back. "Probably found her by now…" she trailed off when she heard laughter. Happy, shrieking, high-pitched laughter; coming from beyond the rows of trees. Michelle smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. Of course! The poor girl was so tired of her surroundings that she went out to explore. She was about to reveal herself when she heard another set of laughter, not from Miss Serena. It was highly unfamiliar and that wasn't good. Being curious, she peered out from behind her hiding place and Michelle's blood went cold. The princess was hovering a few feet off the ground…with a human boy trying his best to catch her! She was so oblivious to her immediate threat. Then, he caught her.

"Oh, no!" she gasped. Once again ready to make her appearance, Michelle was suddenly stopped. They were both on the ground…laughing their rear-ends off. Now, it was safe to say Michelle was confused, so she stayed where she was.

"My turn now!!" the little boy shrieked and ran off. Serena grinned and ran in his general direction. The little boy was quite fast for a human, but it made no difference. Within the minute, the princess was leading the captured human out of the thicket, laughing and giggling. Michelle's eyes were widened beyond belief. Why wasn't he trying to harm her? This runs against everything she was taught about humans. But she turned her attentions back to the two children.

"Mommy's going to be worried," the boy was saying. "I have to go now."

"Yeah. It's getting dark," Serena agreed. They bade each other farewell and vowed to meet back there the next day. Then, they parted. Michelle decided to make her presence known. She can out of her place and stood in front of the princess, her face was angry as she could manage.

"What are you doing all the way out here?" she scolded. The princess nearly jumped a mile. Her blue eyes were wide and she trembled slightly. Michelle laughed inwardly. Poor girl.

"I…I…" she started, casually looking over her shoulder, but Michelle pretended not to notice.

"You mother has been so distraught!" she shouted. "Honestly child!" Michelle then picked up the girl and flew her all the way to the palace, rebuking her all the way. The two didn't reach until early evening, where Serenity looked like she had been crying up a storm. At seeing her daughter, the queen gasped happily and flew over, smothering the young girl in hugs and kisses.

"Oh, Serena!" she cried. "You had me so worried!" she sobbed. Michelle smirked at the totally unprepared look on the young princess's face. Serenity finally pulled away after an eternity. "Okay, baby. Go to your room and I'll be there in a minute." The princess dumbly complied. Serenity turned to Michelle and gave her a warm hug.

"Thank you for finding my daughter," she said and pulled away, confused look on her face. "Where was she by the way?" Michelle hung her head. She knew what would happen. The queen would never allow Serena to play with the human boy again. Pity too, he seemed so nice.

"In the forest, madam," she answered barely audible. Serenity's look now changed to concern.

"Is something wrong, Michelle?" she asked gently. Michelle looked at her face and knew she couldn't lie. So, she sighed.

"Yes, Your Highness," she started. "She was playing with a boy-a human boy to be exact." Queen Serenity's face dropped dramatically. Her eyes were now shiny and she became distressed. She paced the room, breathing erratic.

"After how I warned her and threatened her, she still disobeyed me. She could've been hurt or…" she muttered mostly to herself.

"Your Grace, the boy didn't hurt her in any way. He was just playing with her and…" she trailed off when Serenity snapped around, a look of disbelief on her face.

"Huh!" she grunted dryly. "Am I the only one who remembers what they did to the sea people?" she asked in a shaky voice. "Well, I'm not going to let that happen to us. They can treat their own kind so badly as well, what would they do to us?" Michelle began to amend her mistake, when Serenity stormed out. She walked down the hallway and to the little princess's room.

"What did you think…" she began, but she stopped. The little princess was sprawled on her stomach, her golden hair fanning around her. She was sleeping so soundly, and her white wings spread across her in a protective manner. Serenity felt her anger slowly drain away as she watched her sleep and shook her head.

"I'll deal with you tomorrow you little devil," she whispered and bent over her daughter, giving her a soft kiss.
