Chapter 13: Dream Plane Reunion
Gently, a melody tickled her senses, calling her attention to surroundings that seemed both familiar and foreign. She pushed herself up into a sitting position and looked around. Looking down she seemed to be sitting on top of a small lake, though inside that water she could see many celestial bodies shining brightly. A slight breeze caught her ponytails, streaming them out behind her as she realized she was in her Princess form.
'What's going on? Where am I?' she wondered, as the music around her grew stronger. Rainbow colored bubbles floated around her, slowly resolving into the form of a boy. A minute passed by before the name of this boy surfaced in her mind, as he watched her quietly, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
"Hello… Peruru," she said hesitantly as she stood.
He nodded, as his smile grew larger, "So you remember… that's good. Things won't be so boring now."
She took a step towards him, her footsteps causing small ripples in the lake she walked on. Each ripple brought a change in the image of the lake, creating forests, oceans, sunsets, mountains…
"What things?" she asked, holding out the flute she suddenly found resting in her hands, "why am I here?"
He took the flute from her and raised it too his lips. He played a fast little tune that she had never heard before, and the area around them grew hazy. When things came back into focus, they were standing in a living room with comfortable plush furniture. Peruru sat down, and Usagi followed suit.
"Where are we Peruru?"
He played another song, causing food and drink to appear before Usagi. "We're in a part of Elysion, one of the places restored after Nehelenia tried to conquer here. And as to why you're here… you need to be."
She shook her head, "But why do I need to be here?"
He grinned at her, flashing bright white teeth.
"Well, I wanted company… but really, it's because of your outer Senshi. You see, they slept here for a very long time, and became attuned to the energy of this place. When they pledged themselves too you, especially the little one, their energy started to mix with your own, so that they could support you in battle if they needed, much like your mothers Senshi supported her when she came to rescue you from Badiyanu. But since you weren't also attuned to the power of this place, you became ill, passing out from time to time, and becoming more irritable than you should have been. So. You're here, getting attuned to the energy of the place, and soon you can go home again."
Her eyes glazed over a bit at the explanation, though she nodded in understanding.
"Sounds right to me… how long will I be here?"
His smile flickered a bit, and he dropped his gaze to look at the floor. "Just a few minutes more… you've been asleep here for awhile, almost a year, but because we're on the dream plane, you'll only have been asleep in your world for a few hours. I just wanted to say hello before you left. I've missed you."
She moved to sit by him and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I've missed you too… you were one of my few friends in the twentieth century."
His smile brightened once more, "So… you do know that Priest Helios is supposed to marry you, right?"
She nodded, "Yes, but… I'm not sure that I'm in love with him now that older. And I… had someone else in mind."
He laughed softly and patted her hair, "So I know, since I watch over your dreams and make sure that none are too bad."
She jerked her head up as her face turned a bright shade of red. "PERERU!!!"
His laughter echoed through the dream plain.

Helios stared out into the moonlight from the window in Usagi's room. Serenity was lying in a small bed next to her daughter, holding her hand. Hotaru was also curled up beside Usagi in bed, clutching her other hand protectively. He frowned as he thought of the dark haired girl, who had apparently become his competition for Usagi's heart. Not that it mattered really… Usagi would certainly choose him over another girl. Wouldn't she?
As he turned back to gaze at Usagi his surety of that thought faltered. After all, she had only known Helios for a short time while fighting Nehelenia, and yet she had known Hotaru most of her life, and the two were very good friends. He was certain that Hotaru was in love with Usagi. She acted far more concerned for her than a friend should.
A slight disturbance in the air alerted him to Peruru's sudden presence beside him, which meant that Usagi would be waking soon. The dream fairy placed a light hand on his shoulder. "Keep in mind that Usagi was her only friend when she was possessed by mistress nine, Helios. Of course she would be more concerned than most friends would be."
Helios glared at Peruru for a moment before sighing. "You're right of course, but were you snooping in my thoughts again?"
Peruru simply smiled serenely and walked over to Usagi's bed, laying his flute at the foot of her bed. "She'll awake in the morning like she should, instead of now in the middle of the night."
With that as his parting words, bubbles surrounded Peruru once more as he disappeared.
Helios shook his head again, and headed off to his own room.

Kit peered around a corner, spying on the Priest as he walked away from her Princess' room. "Hmm… "

Sorry that this chapter is so short folks, and that it took so long to get out. It's annoying, I know… *bows and begs forgiveness*
