K.H.: I do not own Sailor Moon. I'm being a lazy bum, so I'm keeping this short.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rini walks around the city with Diana on her head. She walks past a familiar street, stops, and glances at the sweet shop.

She only sees a small boy staring into the shop window with his hands against the glass, "It's not him... but I doubt that he will ever come back. Dream fairies have an important job to do, they can't waste time visiting...."

Diana meows & looks down at Rini, "Cheer up! We can look forward to cookies when we get back home! Or at least you anyway."

Rini sighs in a depressed tone & walks towards the park. She enters the park & walks over to a small cluster of trees. She sits down under a tree & looks around the park. Diana hops down onto Rini's lap & lies down. Rini looks down blankly & strokes Diana. The kitten closes her eyes & purrs loudly from getting petted. Rini also closes her eyes in deep thought about today's significance.

Both Rini & Diana open their eyes when they hear a rustle of leaves.

They look around, but they don't see anyone or anything.

"Hello?" Rini says while gazing around.

Someone walks up on the side of her while neither Diana nor herself are looking, "Hello Rini...."

Rini's eyes widen & she turns her head to look.

A boy with silver hair & pale, purple locks smiles down at both her & Diana.

Rini is shocked at first, but then she smiles & laughs, "Peruru! You came back!"

Peruru continues smiling & nods, "Yeah, I came back. Today is a very special day for me. Last year, on this day, Badiyanu was defeated & today is also special because that was the day when we first met in front of the shop. I've missed you Rini...."

He sits down next to Rini & looks at Diana, "Hello Diana!"

Diana smiles & meows at Peruru in a cheery tone. She stands up & hops over to Peruru's lap. She lies back down & curls up in Peruru's lap purring loudly.

Peruru lets out a short laugh & pets her, "It's nice to see you too!"

Rini stares over at him grinning, "Everyone will be glad if you came back with me. We had another bake-off today just like the one last year. Hopefully the results are the same so I can tease my mother about her cookies."

Diana opens her eyes & teardrops, "And I can't have any of the cookies!"

Peruru laughs at Diana's attitude, "It's ok Diana, lighten up. No one wants you to get sick, that's all."

Diana sighs in a depressed tone & Rini laughs a little.

Peruru & Rini watch as kids play games such as Tag in the park.

Peruru sighs sadly while watching them, "I've never played anything before. I've always been too busy to play...."

Rini looks at him for a moment before smiling & standing up.

She grabs Peruru's hand & tries to pull him up, "Come on, lets go play then!"

Peruru looks at her clueless & blinks.

Diana jumps down before she might've had to fall down instead.

Rini pulls him up into a standing position & continues tugging him.

Peruru follows her out into the open & is relieved that he's in his human disguise. She leads him over towards the group playing Tag.

Peruru suddenly realizes that he doesn't know how to play, "Rini, how do you play Tag?"

Rini stops for a moment & looks back at him, "There's a person that's 'it'. Whoever's 'it' is the one that has to tag people. Everyone else has to run from that person & not get touched. If the person that's 'it' touches you, then you become 'it' & have to chase everyone around."

Peruru thinks & nods, "I think I understand...."

They walk over to the group of kids & the kids stop to look at them.

Rini lets go of Peruru's hand & steps forward, "May we play?"

All of the kids huddle & decide whether or not they can play.

The kids break out of the huddle & one of the smaller kids walks over to Rini, "Sure, but you have to be it!"

Rini smiles & nods in agreement.

The kids start backing off & spreading out away from Rini.

Rini runs towards one of the kids & chases him. All of the kids scatter & Peruru stays out in the open. She stops chasing the boy & looks at everyone else, sizing each of the kids up. She glances at Peruru for a moment before running towards him.

He stands there for a moment before remembering that he has to run. He dashes past the group of kids with Rini behind him.

Rini chases Peruru for a while before running out of breath & stopping.

He stops & looks back at her grinning.

She smiles while catching her breath & then suddenly dashes at one of the other kids.

This goes on until Rini thinks that the cookies should be done about now. Peruru & Rini wave farewell to the group of kids & they walk back over to Diana.

Diana meows & Peruru picks her up. She wiggles out of his grasp & hops up onto his shoulder. She meows again & starts licking his cheek.

He laughs from Diana's licking & squirms.

Rini starts laughing & tells Diana to stop after a while.

Peruru cuddles a bit with Diana before they walk out of the park. They continue walking & walk past the street with the sweet shop. Both Peruru & Rini pause & stare at it silently.

Peruru looks over at Rini like he did when they first met & blushes slightly.

She looks back over at Peruru smiling, "Brings back memories, that's for sure."

Peruru looks down silently, smiles, and nods, still blushing, "Sure does..."

They continue walking until they're at the front door of Rini's house.

She turns to Peruru & puts her finger to her lips, "Shhh... I want it to be a surprise. Stay here...."

Diana hops over onto Rini's shoulder. Rini opens the door, walks in, and closes it most of the way.

She walks over to the kitchen where everyone is, "Hi! I'm back! I ran into someone & invited him over for some cookies."

Serena's eyes light up & she smiles cheerily, "Please tell me its Darien! Oh, Darien...."

Rini sweat drops & sighs, "No, sorry to interrupt your daydreaming MOM, but it's not Darien. It's a friend of mine...."

Lita smiles as she looks at Rini, "Where is your friend?"

Rini grins & tries not to laugh, "He's waiting outside, I'll go get him!"

She runs to the front door & pokes her head out. "Ok... you can come in now. And you can change back to your normal form if you want."

Peruru nods & goes back into his normal form. His clothes change to white & his ears change to being pointy. He smiles warmly at Rini just as his wings sprout from his back.

Rini gasps & then giggles, "Wow, I didn't get to see you sprout wings last time, cool! Come on in Peruru!"

She opens the door & steps off to the side to allow him through. He walks inside & she closes the door behind him.

They walk into the kitchen & everyone's mouths drop open.

Amy blinks & finds her speaking voice, "P-Peruru???"

Peruru smiles shyly, "Hello everyone."

Everyone smiles after getting over the shock.

Rini takes Peruru's hand & leads him into her (and Serena's) room. He blinks when he enters & looks around at everything. She lets go of his hand & walks over to a nearby shelf.

She pulls a box off & walks back over to Peruru grinning, "Know what this is Peruru?"

He stares at the box with his clueless expression & shakes his head. She takes the cover off of the box & he peers inside.

She carefully pulls his pipe out of the box & holds it in her hands, "See? I saved it for a whole year! I made sure that nothing happened to it."

He looks from his pipe, to her & smiles, "I wonder if I can still play it...."

She grins even more & hands it back to him, "Well, let's see if you still have it."

He blinks startled, but then raises the pipe to his lips & starts playing.

Her stuffed animals start to dance in the air & she watches the event in awe. He continues playing a beautiful yet mysterious tune on the pipe for a while before stopping. The animals float back down to where they were before.

She stares at Peruru with admiration & hugs him, "That was great!"

He blushes & looks at her so innocently, it's almost funny (So kawaii!).

She stops hugging him & looks up at him beaming.

He smiles after getting over the shock of being hugged, "Looks like I still can play."

They laugh a little & walk back into the kitchen.

The dinger on the oven goes off & Rini walks over, "Hey Meatball-head! Our cookies are done!"

Serena dashes over & smirks at Rini, "This time, my cookies will taste a whole lot better than your crummy cookies!"

Peruru sweat drops & Lita leans over to whisper to him, "They always argue, so you'll have to get used to it."

Peruru continues watching Rini & Serena as they pull out their trays of cookies. The aroma of fresh cookies fills the air, which makes everyone else smile.

Serena holds one of her cookies out to Rini, "Taste test."

Rini accepts the cookie frowning & gives Serena one of hers. She also gives a cookie to Lita so Serena can't lie about the taste.

Serena holds up Rini's cookie & everyone watches, "On the count of 3.... 1... 2... 3!"

Rini, Serena, and Lita pop the cookies inside their mouths at the same time. Rini chews, but then stops after a few seconds. Her eyes widen & she runs to the restroom with her hand over her mouth.

Peruru blinks, "I guess it was a bad cookie...."

Serena acts like she didn't enjoy Rini's cookie just because she's a sore loser.

Lita smiles brightly after swallowing Rini's cookie, "Rini's the winner of the taste contest!"

Everyone except Serena, smiles & claps after the announcement of the winner. Rini walks in the kitchen looking a little pale.

"Are you ok? You don't look so good...." Peruru says as he walks towards her, worried.

Rini nods, "Bad cookie... very, very, bad cookie...."
