Diclaimer: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING!

A small child burst through the gates of the palace, her little feet pounding against the hard stone ground. Her laughter reverberated off the high white walls. Her golden hair flowing back in a wave, fluttering with her dress. She slowed her progress half way to the large doors that open to enter the palace. Her thoughts started to stray, hands fidgeting with the beautiful flowers in her hands, when out of the corner of her eye she spotted something glinting in the fading sunlight of the day. Now she had always been a curious child, well curious since she could walk, so she immediately turned toward it. She put her flowers down on the stone next to the stream of water flowing off the columns into a small river. She reached her small hand into the water for the glinting object...
"USAGIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
She yanked her hand out of the water so fast you almost couldn't see it. She quickly wiped her hand on her dress, grabbed her flowers ruffly, stood up moving to stand in front of the object. For some odd reason her instincts told not to tell anyone of the thing in the water, even though she still didn't know what it was. As she turned around she saw someone running towards her. Long red hair trailing behind her, crimson fluffy dress and red dainty slippers. You could tell that this person liked red, but the thing that was the most impressive was her red face. The three year old Princess of Mars was burning with rage, literally. Flickers of fire wiped through her hair, hovered over her skin. It was impressive.
"Oh, greetings, Princess Mars." She said, politely. It was clear to her that Rei was mad, but she had no idea why, so it was best to be polite. "What are you doing here?"
If possible her face got even redder. "Why, Usagi-hime, you were supposed to meet me and the rest of the royal princesses TWO hours ago." She said with false sweetness. Both girls were speaking and acting more intelligent then three, but they never noticed. They never knew of their past nor future. They never knew...
"Uhhh.... oops..." Was all the golden haired girl could say, scraching her head.
"OOPS!! WE WAITED TWO HOURS AND ALL YOU CAN SAY IS OOPS!!!" The Princess of Mars was looking very undignified and at the same time elegant. Her skin was illuminated by red fire dancing above her skin. Her ruby red hair was almost standing on end, in fact it was burning, her hair had burst into flames. Rei had a very short fuse and Usagi always seemed to light it. The red dress was flowing around her in an unseen wind. Fire basically danced in her violet eyes. It was very impressive for a three year old. But most impressive thing of all was the glowing crimson symbol of Mars on her forehead.
Rei knew she was over reacting but she was bored and when she was bored she always seemed to find a way to get Usagi to get her mad.
"Geez, Rei-chan, don't blow a gasket, I was talking to my mother, you know how I don't get to do that often." Usagi said, quietly, dropping her flowers back to the ground.
But then again Usagi was also one of the only people that could get her out of her rages. They were best friends after all.
"Yeah, I know." She gave her a little smile.
Usagi walked up to Rei, totally forgetting of the 'treasure', and put one hand up. She gently put it just above the fire eniminating from her skin, and sent cooling streams of magic into her, dampening the flames, calming the Princess. You couldn't see it but the feeling was unmistakable. When all the flames died away, Usagi put an arm around Rei's shoulders and together they walked up the path to the palace.
And in the fading sunlight dozens of silver lilies glittered, laying where they were forgotten, but one silver lily slipped into the water, floating gently down, landing next to the object Usagi had seen earlier...

By the time Usagi and Rei entered the palace they were joking and laughing to each other. Bright smiles covered both their faces, bright enough to light up any dark room. Three girls stood in the entrance way. One chuckled and shook her head lightly, "I don't know how she does it." Her voice was smooth and sounded much older then the owner.
"I know what you mean," said the girl next to her, smiling as well.
The third girl just laughed and said, "It's Usagi, what more needs to be said!"
The others nodded and they waited for the two laughing girls to notice them. Usagi noticed them first and got Rei's attention.
"Greetings Princess Mercury, Princess Jupiter and Princess Venus. How are you on this fine evening?" Usagi said, bowing slightly. She never liked the formalities but knew why they were important.
As Usagi greeted them each Princess stepped forward. Princess Mercury, aka Ami, had short blue hair, like most Mercurians, but hers was an deep blue, matching her wonderfully deep eyes. Pale skin contrasted greatly with the navy blue dress, fitted loosely over her three year old frame. Her dress was smooth like water, almost silky like. Intelligence of all things known (and unknown) shone in her deep eyes.
Princess Jupiter stepped up next. Jupiter, aka Makoto, tall for a three year old. She already towered above her four friends. Long forest green hair was pulled up into a ponytail, held up by a rose elastic. Emerald eyes stared at you, almost daring you to challenge her. Rose earrings complemented her creamy skin. Her dress was a light powder green, with white lace on the ends, although Ami's was smooth hers looked almost ruff as if made up of leaves or another earthy material, but you could see it was not.
Princess Venus almost skipped up to them. She had a big smile plastered on her face. Also know as Minako, Venus was the next in line to be the Goddess of Love, and she made sure she lived up to the title. Long gold hair shimmered down her back, half held back in a large orange bow. Amber eyes filled with love and friendship seemed to except almost everybody. Bright orange burst from her dress, like the sun had been sewed into it. The material was satiny, but not. It was only found on Venus. From the back you couldn't tell the difference between Usagi and Minako, but when you turned around their eyes gave them away.
All three gave small bows back, then Minako laughed. "No parents are around! Why bother with formalities!"
"Well, Minako, even though we are most undoubtedly alone, we still must practice our equidiette." Ami said, waving a finger at Minako.
"Oh, Ames, you need to loosen up a bit!" Makoto said, putting an arm around her friend.
"Yeah!" Usagi yelled, throwing her arm around the other side of Ami.
They all giggled and turned toward Usagi.
"Hey, Usa, where were you? We waited for two hours for ya..." Makoto said, tilting her head to the side.
Usagi looked down and told them, "I was out with my mommy picking flowers." She lifted her hand and brush the flower still in her hair. All the other girls looked sympathetic. They knew Usa's mother was usually too busy with political affairs to play with her daughter often.
"That's a pretty flower Usa, where did you find it?" Ami asked, whipping out a small computer with symbol of Mercury on it. She had never seen a flower like that before. She started to analyze it when Usa's eyes widened suddenly.
"Oh no! I forgot the rest of the flowers on the path!" And before anyone could say anything she zoomed out of the room.
"That flower seems familiar, but I know I've never seen it before." Rei said, breaking the silence.
"I feel the same way..." Makoto said, looking at Ami and Minako who both nodded their heads.

Usagi skidded to a stop as she spotted the flowers by the water. Carefully she pick them up, checking to see if they were okay. She gave a quick count of them and noticed that there were some missing. She gave a quick look around and notice that there wasn't a single soul around. The sun was now just a jumble of colors on the horizon. Pinks, purples, reds, oranges, yellows, and even a bit of green, mixing in with the blueness of the sky. It was breath-taking.
Usagi looked on the ground for the missing flowers and noticed something glittering in the water. 'The THING!' Usagi couldn't believe she had forgotten all about the thing in the water. Kneeling down next to the edge she looked into the water. One of her flowers was covering the object. Slowly she slipped one hand into the water, rippling her own reflection. The water almost seemed thicker as if it didn't want her to reach towards the flower. She heard a sound behind her bur ignored it, reaching deeper. In the next second, she grasped the flower and the object beneath it, and heard, "Usagi NO!" And she was gone... "No, no, no... this was not meant to happen yet..."
