"Mom?" Rini asked, walking up to Serena.
"Nani?"
"Well, what if, you know, Helios doesn't love me back? I'm going to tell him tonight, but what if, you know?"
Serena sighed, and turned towards her daughter.
"I had the same thing with your father," She said, sitting down.
Rini raised an eyebrow. "No way! You guys are totally in love!"
Serena laughed. "Now. When we first met, I couldn't stand him. Actually, I had thrown a test over my shoulder, and he commented on my intelligence."
Rini laughed. "What was the score? On the test I mean?"
Serena sweatdropped. "32."
Rini laughed harder, and shook her head. "What happened?"
"Well, when we found the 'Silver Crystal' he found out that I was the Moon Princess, and we remembered our past lives."
"Yeah?"
Serena nodded. "Then Zoicite stabbed him with an ice crystal, and took him to the negaverse, where he went evil and hated me. Then, when I first met you, we had just gotten back together. Actually, when you fell out of the sky, and landed on me, He was going to kiss me," Serena said smiling.
Rini shook her head again, and thought of Helios. "I'm so nervous."
"Don't be! What's the worst thing he could do?"
"Reject my love, leave me as a friend, and fall in love with Hotaru."
"Well, let's just hope he doesn't do that," Serena said.
Rini looked shocked.
Serena laughed. "He won't! Trust me. True love always finds a way!"
"You sure?" Rini asked.
Serena nodded. "Now go, and don't loose your nerve. In a few, you'll swap gifts, and hopefully tell each other how you feel. If he doesn't feel the same, then at least you'll have him as a friend."
Rini laughed, and skipped away, thinking about what Helios would do when she told him she loved him.
Helios paced around his room, contemplating the hours until sunset, when he would meet with his personal angel. He sighed, and sat on the bed, picking up her gift, and the rose. Two more hours then his heart would be broken when she said she didn't love him. He thought of the Darien's words from earlier. 'If you don't get her now, someone else will. Someone not as good for her as you are. And they will break her heart. You won't let that happen while you are there, so she automatically is better with you.' Then he remembered their first kiss. That was in the past, and he had kissed her, and she had found out he was human. She still thought that was a dream. Of course, she was wrong. It really happened. Helios laughed. She sure was gorgeous when she and Serena had switched sizes. 'Para para had done good,' he though smiling mischeviously. They had talked a little last night, but nothing to intimate. Mainly it was arguing about if he was going to tell her his secret or not. They were meeting again tonight, to swap gifts, and he was nervous.
"What if she rejects me? Oh my, I don't know what I would do. I'm pretty sure she won't. But how would I know? I've watched her grow up, and that stupid Matazumi. If I don't watch out, he sure will hurt her. I could see her falling for him, and him breaking her heart…" His watched beeped.
"Oh god," he whispered, taking in some breath, then breathing it out. "In a half an hour she will know how I feel. Either she will love me back, or she won't."
He picked up the rose and the earrings and walked out the door of his room, thinking of his darling angel.
Rini yelled, because her hair wouldn't go back into the odango-like pigtails. She had taken them out to take a shower. She tried one more time to put her hair up, and gave an exasperated sigh when it wouldn't work. Rini shook her head, and decided to wear it down.
She put on a pair of blue flares that encased her legs, and a yellow low- cut shirt. She smiled, and decided not to wear any earrings.
Rini looked out the window, and saw a few raindrops start to fall. "No!": she whispered. She hated the rain.
She looked at her watch, and saw she had 15 minutes till she was to meet Helios.
Rini looked in the mirror nervously, and thought about the kiss they had shared. She ran her fingertips over her lips, and closed her eyes,r emembering the roughness of his mouth on hers. It had been a delicious shock to have him kiss her back. She sighed, and thought again about how she would never have a hane with him. Then she turned away from the mirror and grabbed her square-shaped gift.
She cheked her watch again. 10 minutes. Time to go.
Helios sat on the bench in the gardesn. He sighed, and checked his watch. She would be here any minute.
He saw a glimpse of pink hair, but it wasn't in odangos, so he didn't think it was hhir. The girl disappeared, and he closed his eyes, and relaxed against the hard wood of the back of the bench. All of a sudden, two tiny, delicate hands covered his eyes.
"Guess who…"
"Nani?"
"Well, what if, you know, Helios doesn't love me back? I'm going to tell him tonight, but what if, you know?"
Serena sighed, and turned towards her daughter.
"I had the same thing with your father," She said, sitting down.
