Disclaimer: Don't own, never did, never will! The characters, that is….The storyline is actually something I put together (probably with a little help from The Little Mermaid).

Rendered Wingless

If one really looked deep in the forest that bordered the town's park, that person would actually be able to see small bright lights floating around the trees. To that person, the small bright lights could be classified as fireflies, and then the novelty of the beautiful lights would be forgotten. Had that person taken the time to notice, he or she would realize that fireflies don't come in different colors like purple, yellow, pink, gold and variations of the colors red, green, blue. No, fireflies only came in white. So what could these lights really be?

4 little lights, red, blue, green and gold, floated from tree to tree. Sometimes they would all come together, and other times they'd break apart.

"Serena-baka! Serena-baka! Where are you!?!" The little red light yelled.

The little blue light floated over to the red light.

"Rei, what makes you think she'll come to us if you're calling her like that? She'd know that you're mad at her!"

The green light flitted over to the blue and red light.

"Ami's right, Rei. You know how much Serena hates being yelled at. And you seem to always start the fights."

Rei sighed and nodded, she knew Ami and Lita were right, it was just that she was worried about the baka. And worrying made her mad. Why was it that Serena always seemed to get her mad without actually doing anything to her?

She turned from the other faeries and called to the gold light.

"Mina! Have you seen her trail yet?"

The gold light, or rather, Mina, flew over to the rest of the faeries. She was exhausted and frightened. They hadn't seen Serena all day. It was their job to watch and take care of the princess, but she always seemed to get away from them. This time, it was taking them longer than any other time they had to find her. Mina tried her best to act like the leader she was and keep everyone from worrying, because she really thought that Serena was gone.

"ok guys, we haven't found her or her trail yet, but we will soon. The moment you see the silver trail, let me know, ok?"

 The girls nodded at their leader and broke apart, once again looking for signs of their princess. Ami sighed. All faeries left a trail, but only the royal court were able to see them, so that an enemy couldn't use the trail to do something drastic. As her royal guards, she and the rest of the girls were able to see the silver trail of the princess. But as Ami checked all of Serena's favorite spots and not finding one clue to her whereabouts, Ami began to get worried. This really wasn't like their princess.

Mean while….

"Duo!" Serena cried, exasperated. "come on! Stop crying"

To put it simple, Serena was pissed. This Hilde girl that left Duo, left him in pieces. The happy, laughing bouncing guy she'd fell in love with was no more. Instead she had this crying piece of mess. She knew she had to think of something to get him back to normal. She wasn't sure how she was going to do it, but first, she had to get him to stop crying.

She started to sing. Her voice matched her beauty. He had heard nothing like this. His crying was forgotten as she sang her beautiful song. She sang meaningless words, but it was still enchanting. As she sang, he realized how extraordinary she really was.

Serena sang her heart out. She knew that she shouldn't be singing. The power that she used to soothe Duo would be like a beacon for her guardians, but it was a risk she was willing to take. As she sang, she began to glow a silver color. The more she sang, the more she glowed, until Duo could no longer look at her. And as her song came to an end, a bright silver beam of light shot up through the roof and into the sky.

"Wow…"  Duo said, wonderingly. "You are truly beautiful. That was really wonderful. Do it again!"

Serena laughed at Duo's amazement. Ok, so maybe this wouldn't be as hard as she thought. Maybe all she had to do was keep his attention and make him forget about that Hilde girl.

She danced a little jig in the air to celebrate, much to Duo's amusement

The silver beam could be seen by all. But most would not notice the beautiful light in the sky. As a matter of fact, only one saw the light immediately. And she knew it mean trouble.

"Mina! Mina!" Lita yelled to her commanding officer. " I found it! I know where the princess is!" She quickly flew to Mina.

Mina, Ami, and Rei all breathed out a sigh of relief. Finally, they could get Serena and return her safely home.

        "Good Lita, where is she?" Mina asked.

        Lita looked down sheepishly.

        "Well, Mina, That's kinda of the bad news…"

        "bad news?!" Rei exclaimed, " She isn't dead is she??"

        Lita looked up, a look of surprise on her face.

        "Goddess, I hope not."

        "Well, What are you talking about, Lita? Spill it already!"

        "Well, you see, I found her silver beam, But it shot out from the middle of the Wingless City. She's in the Wingless City, She's no longer in safe territory."

        "Are you sure, Lita?" Mina asked, frightened.

        "Yes."

        "Great…" Rei said angrily, "That's just….Great!"
