The next morning at Michiru and Haruka's home was sad. Kakyuu had told them that they needed to return home. She promised them that she would send the guys back as soon as she was safe at home. Hotaru, Chronos, Titan, Michiru, Ouranos and Haruka had gone to see them off. Setsuna had offered to clean up the living room with Hades' help. Kakyuu and the Starlights had left just before the sun had gotten over the trees. Haruka had kissed Seiya good-bye and made him promise to come back safe. He patted Ouranos on the shoulder and told him that he was to look after his future mother until he got back. Taiki didn't need to have Michiru make him promise, he leaned over and kissed Titan on the forehead and told them he would return to them soon. Chronos didn't want to let Yaten go, she loved the idea that she had a father. Hotaru had to almost pull her off of him so that she could give him a hug. He, too, promised to come back safely.
Michiru had told them that she and Titan had some things to do at the gym. She was taking her swimming. Hotaru said that she and Chronos were going to go and walk around Cross Roads. Haruka told them she was going to take Ouranos to her racing practice. They said that they would all meet at the Crown Arcade later for dinner.
Michiru and Titan had gone to a swim suit shop before they left for the gym. Titan needed a suit and Michiru decide that she needed a new one. Titan had tried on quite a few of them. She had tried on: a bright, pink bikini; an aqua green one piece, a yellow polka-dotted red suit. She had decided on a black one piece, that had a small silk ribbon at the neck line. Michiru had known what the store carried so she knew what she wanted to get before they had gotten there. She picked out a black and white one piece that tied around the neck. She had paid for the suit, and picked up two towels then they headed for the gym. She often ran into Ami at the pool on the top floor of the gym. Today was no different.
"Hello Michiru!" yelled Ami. She had brought Lily, who was also wearing a new suit.
"Hello Ami. Hello Lily." yelled Michiru as she walked over to them. "What are you two doing here?"
"Ami said that she would take me swimming and later she is taking me to the ocean." said Lily. "Is it ok if I jump in now, Ami?" Ami nodded, with that she jumped in splashing all three of them.
"Aren't you going to jump in Titan?" asked Ami.
"I…umm…"
"I'm going to teach her to swim." said Michiru, noticing that Titan was stuttering. "She never got the chance to swim where she lives so, I told her that before she leaves that I have to teach her."
"Well, you have one of the best teachers Titan." said Ami "Well I'm getting in. Michiru, your best bet is to take her to the shallow end, I'll swim over there if you want any help."
"No, that's alright. I think I can handle this." said Michiru "You go and play with Lily, she looks like she wants to race. I will talk with you later." she gave Ami a wink and her and Titan walked down to the shallow end.
"Thank you Michiru." said Titan softly.
"For what?" asked Michiru climbing down the latter into the pool.
"For not making a big deal that I can't swim." she, too, climbed down into the pool. "Its kind of silly. I mean I could have gone to Mercury, but mother just couldn't go that far away from Neptune." she whispered the Planets names.
"Ok, tell me, have you just treaded water before?" asked Michiru. Titan shook her head. "Ok, what we are going to do is, we are going to walk out a little until the water is just under your chin." They walked a few feet then stopped. "Now what your going to do is push off from the bottom and kick your feet not letting your feet touch it. Keeping your head above the water." Titan did as she was instructed. She found it quite fun and very easy.
"Am I doing this right." she said as the water splashed around her.
"That's perfect. Now what we are going to do is go out a little deeper, so that now the water will be over your head." Titan looked at her like she was crazy. "Don't worry I wont let anything happen to you, besides there is a lifeguard on duty and Ami is just over there, you wont drown." They went out deeper, Michiru had stood beside Titan making sure her head stayed above the water. "Just keep doing what I told you before and you will be fine. If you get tired just lay back and float. That's it your doing it."
"I'm doing it!" yelled Titan.
After a little while Michiru started showing Titan how to do some of the swimming strokes. To Michiru's amazement Titan didn't need much help, it seemed like second nature to her. After about and hour she was swimming as well as Michiru. Ami and Lily had asked them if they wanted to race across the pool. They excepted. Michiru had won, but Titan hadn't done too bad. She had tied with Lily. Ami had come in second, but it still was very close. Ami and Michiru had climbed out of the pool, leaving Lily and Titan alone to swim.
"She is a really strong swimmer. Are you sure she has never swam before?" asked Ami drying herself off.
"I'm sure. She had the look of terror when she first got into the pool, but once she was in the water for a while it was like she wasn't afraid anymore." said Michiru, wringing out her hair. "So your going to look at the ocean?"
"Yep, Lily had asked me the other day if I would show it to her. I'm sure she will love it." said Ami.
"What is everyone up to today?" asked Michiru.
"Well, from what I was told, Minako, Opal, Bella and Makoto are going over to Minako's new place and start moving her in there. Rei and Phoenix are going to be working at the Shrine all day and Usagi, Mamoru and Chibiusa are going to be out of town for a while." said Ami.
"Where are they going?" asked Michiru.
"I don't know, they wont tell anyone."
"Shouldn't tell us where they are going?" asked Michiru.
"They never use to." said Lily climbing out of the pool.
"Yeah, they had a tendency to just go away for a few days then come back telling us that 'they just needed to get away.'" said Titan holding the edge of the pool.
"Sounds like them. I wonder where they are going." said Michiru, helping Titan out of the pool.
"Are you guys really going to the ocean when you leave here?" asked Titan, drying off. Lily nodded. "Would you mind if we came along. I would like to see an ocean that can't scold your skin."
"I don't mind, if its ok with Michiru and Lily." They both nodded. They went into the locker room and changed. Once they were ready they headed to the beach.
Minako, Makoto, Opal and Bella had gotten together at Minako's new apartment. She was moving into the same building Makoto lived in only a few floors below. Minako had gotten a two bed room place, so that she could entertain guest and have a spare room in case someone needed a place to stay. Minako had asked her father if it would be alright if her used his truck to move her things, he said it would be. She had driven the truck over to her new place, full of boxes and bags. On the top of the back of the truck was her bed.
"What didn't want to make too many trips, Minako?" asked Makoto. Bella and Opal laughed.
"Nah, that's not it. I just wanted to sleep here tonight. Can you give me a hand here." Minako was untying the bed from the roof. Makoto had walked over and helped her take it down. She handed Opal and Bella some boxes. "Upstairs, 3rd floor. Use the elevator." said Minako, struggling with the bed. "Here Opal. C2." she handed Opal the key.
"Come on! Minako! LIFT!" yelled Makoto. Once on the elevator, Makoto and Minako put the bed on the floor. "Damn that thing is heavy. What am I getting out of this again?"
"I'm buying lunch. Besides we have more hands then we thought we would." said Minako. "This is it."
The door opened and they got off. They walked two doors from the elevator. Opal unlocked the door and they walked in. Minako directed Makoto to follow her into the master bedroom. She lifted the bed off the floor again and pulled it.
"Just put it here and I will set it up once I get the frame inside." she said. "Thanks a bunch for your help, Makoto. I wouldn't have been able to do this myself. Mamoru was going to help but he said something came up."
"No problem. I just hope that you realize that if you feed me you have to feed Bella, too." said Makoto, wiping her brow.
"I know. Lets go get some more." said Minako. "You guys just put those in the corner." she yelled at Opal and Bella. They went back downstairs back out to the truck.
"Give me a minute. I think I might know someone that can help us move this stuff quicker. Be right back." said Makoto. She ran back inside. When she came back out she had three really big guys with her. "This is Alex, Chris and Pat. They live here, too."
"Nice to meet you." said Minako, shaking their hands. "If you help I'll feed you lunch."
"That's alright. I owe Makoto. She fixed my oven." said Alex.
"She gave me the name of a great mechanic." said Chris.
"Makoto told me there was pretty girls out here that needed help." said Pat, with a huge smile on his face. He made Minako, Bella and Opal blush.
"Don't put words in my mouth, Pat." said Makoto laughing. "I told you that I needed some help moving a friend of mine into C3."
"Close enough." he said.
"I insist on buying lunch." exclaimed Minako.
They excepted and started bringing in the boxes and bags. Chris and Alex brought in the bed frame and offered to put it together. Minako thanked them. After only three more loads of Minako's things from her parent's home, she had everything in her new place. They had finished a lot sooner then they had originally thought. Like Minako had promised she had ordered out for pizza. They sat on the couch and chairs Minako had gotten from her parents, who had just gotten new furniture. Opal and Bella had sat on the floor. Minako ended up buying four pizzas. Once all had their fill, the guys excused themselves. Minako thanked them and showed them out.
"That really didn't take all that long, did it?" said Makoto, stretching out. "I was sure it would take two days to get it all moved."
"Has anyone seen Isis or Thor?" asked Bella. "I don't know if they made it back over here."
"I think they are on the balcony." said Minako, cleaning up the pizza boxes. "I think they said they would be out there so they would be out of the way." Bella got up and went to the balcony. Sure enough they were out there asleep on one of Minako's pillows. Bella walked back in.
"Yep their there." she said.
"Minako?" asked Opal.
"Yes?"
"Um… where am I going to sleep?"
"Oh dear! I forgot to ask my mother about the spear bed." she said. "I'll give her a call and ask her if she can have dad bring it over tonight. I am really sorry, Opal."
"Its alright. With all the moving. I forgot about it too."
"So, now what are you going to do?" asked Makoto.
"I guess we're going to find the bed linings, make them and got to bed early." explained Minako. "I'm so tired."
"Me too. And my back hurts. I don't think I've ever done that much lifting in one day before in my life." said Opal, rubbing her back. "But it was fun, and those guys were cute."
"Uh oh. Minako, it's a little you." laughed Makoto.
"Opal, no dating until after your married." said Minako laughing. They all started laughing.
"Well, I hate to cut the evening short, but I think Bella and I should get going. We will see you tomorrow." said Makoto.
"Ok, thanks again." said Minako. Her and Opal walked Bella and Makoto out. Bella was carrying Thor. Then they went looking for the sheets for the bed. Around 7 o'clock that night, Minako's father had come with the bed and he set it up for them, then left. He told them to call when ever they needed something. Minako and Opal started to unpack her things.
"Why don't I call Rei, Ami and Makoto and asked them if they want to go to the café and get some ice cream?" asked Minako as she folded an empty box. Opal nodded her head and brushed some of the dust off her shirt.
"Sure." she said.
Haruka, Ouranos, Hotaru, Chronos, Michiru and Titan (Michiru and Titan had separated from Ami and Lily after they left the ocean) met up with Setsuna and Hades at the arcade. Haruka had let Ouranos ride in her car with her. He had never gone so fast in a car. Hotaru had taken Chronos to the Juyban Shopping Center and they walked around. Hotaru and bought Chronos some new clothes. She had also picked up so under garments for Titan and Ouranos (he was a little embarrassed about that). Titan and Michiru had met up with them at the shopping center. Setsuna had taken Hades to meet Motoki's sister, Unazuki. He had never gotten a chance to meet her before she moved. Motoki had been informed a few years before that Setsuna was Sailor Pluto. Setsuna had asked Usagi in the future if she could use the power of the Silver Imperium Crystal to make him immortal like them, but the rest of his family wasn't blessed by the crystal.
"What did you think of the race track, Ouranos?" asked Michiru.
"It was so cool. I've never gone so fast. But I didn't get to talk a lot there. It was too loud." he said. They had went up to the café above the arcade and ordered dinner.
"That's too bad. But you did enjoy yourself, right?" asked Setsuna. He nodded. "How about you Titan. Did you have fun today?"
"I had a glorious time. I didn't realize that Tokyo was so big. And the ocean was gorgeous. I even put my feet in it." exclaimed Titan, her face was still flushed. "I can't believe how different the past is from the future. Look what I got Taiki." she held up a necklace with a heart locket pendent. She opened it. Inside of it was a picture of her and Michiru they had taken earlier. "Chronos has one for Yaten, too."
"Yeah! I saw them in the window and I knew he would like it." said Chronos, showing hers. "I got this for you Ouranos." she held up another locket. "If you want, you and Haruka can get your picture take and put it in here and give it to Seiya." Ouranos took the locket.
"Seems kind of girlie. But if Haruka wants to then I will." he said.
"Sure. Maybe it will be fun. Did you guys get one for Motoki?" asked Haruka. "I mean shouldn't he get one, too."
"Well, I haven't told him that Hades is his yet." she said shyly.
"Setsuna he knows about Chibiusa. I'm sure he would understand. You have to tell him." exclaimed Michiru. Hotaru and Haruka agreed.
"It's alright. I just like getting to know his family." said Hades softly. "I'm sure he will understand."
"No, their right. When I see him I will tell him." she said.
Motoki had come up from the arcade a little while after they had arrived and sat with them. Setsuna had taken him aside again and told him about Hades. He was extremely elated. He ran over to Hades and wrapped his arms around him. Unazuki had come over and asked what was going on. Motoki had told her that Hades had found his wallet he had misplaced. She said he was crazy and walked away.
"This is really neat. Getting to know what your child turns out to be like before he is even born." he said. "First I find out that Setsuna is having my baby, and now I get meet him. Tell me, we are happy right?"
"Um…yes…no…kind of." said Hades, spinning his straw in his drink.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"From what I've been told, we never get married." said Setsuna.
"WHAT?!" he yelled. "I…we…WHAT?"
"You never get married, in the future." Hades told him the story of how, because he wasn't of royal blood and because he wasn't of Pluto that they couldn't be married.
"Can we change the future?" he asked taking Setsuna's hand.
"We are." said Michiru.
"How?" he asked looking at her.
"Just like Setsuna we have children in the future. We only just found out who their fathers are. We never got married either. We jumped in and now we are going to be married, with in the next few weeks." said Hotaru.
"That's right." said Haruka.
"Even you?" he asked pointing to Haruka. She nodded. "Then why don't we just elope. Once we are married, nothing or no one can say anything." he took both of Setsuna's hands. "We will be married, Setsuna. I will make sure of it. Even if we have to in secret."
"But…" she was cut off by Motoki, he had put his finger over her lips.
"I will give you the world, the Moon and stars. No one can stop me." He took her hand and pulled her out of the booth. They stood eye to eye. He reached he hand out to Hades, to help him up, too. Motoki pulled them both close to him and hugged them. 'Trust me' he whispered to both of them. 'Even if its not accepted on Pluto, you will become my wife, I promise.'
Motoki had asked the others about who had won over Haruka's heart and about who had won theirs. They had talked into the late evening.
The night when Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Yaten, Taiki and Seiya had gone to Usagi for help had been uneventful. Usagi and Mamoru had talked about it that night, also they talked about going to Elysian. Chibiusa had spent that night thinking of how she would bring up going to Elysian. Mamoru had agreed to take her, but he never said when. She decided to ask him when in the morning. That morning Usagi had given Ami a call to let her know that Mamoru, Chibiusa and herself would be going out of town for a while, but would be safe.
"It's alright, Ami. We are going to be going to a place where nothing will happen to us. Just tell everyone, ok?" said Usagi, over the phone.
"Alright, but make sure you take your communicator so if you need us you can call us." said Ami, over the other end of the phone. "Take care."
"Bye" she hung up the phone and went into the kitchen and made breakfast, Artemis was sitting on the counter. Shortly after Chibiusa walked into the kitchen rubbing her eyes.
"Ood orning Sagi." she yawned. "What's for breakfast? Can I help?"
"Good morning Chibiusa." said Usagi, standing beside the stove. "I'm making pancakes. If you want you can set the table and go get Mamoru up."
"Pancakes?" asked Chibiusa. "I love those." she walked over to the cabinet and took three plates and three glasses. She took out three sets of utensils and set the table. She then walked into Usagi and Mamoru's bedroom. Mamoru was still sleeping. Luna was sleeping on Usagi's pillow next to him. Diana had walked into the room with her.
"Mamoru…Mamoru…YOUR HIGHNESS!" she yelled. Mamoru jumped.
"Diana. Chibiusa. What's the matter?" he asked rubbing his eyes. Luna had also been jolted awake.
"Oh, nothing. Usagi sent us in here to get you up for breakfast. She's making pancakes." said Chibiusa.
"Usagi is cooking? Again?" asked Luna "She really has gotten a hand in cooking. Her lessons with Makoto are really paying off." She jumped off the bed.
"I know what you mean." said Mamoru, pulling on his robe. "Well, lets not keep her waiting." He picked up Diana and they walked out into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Mamoru." said Usagi. She put a stack of pancakes on his plate and kissed his cheek. "Did you sleep well?"
"Very well, thank you. What about you."
"Alright, got a little sick this morning… Oh my God!" she cried putting her hands to her stomach.
"What?!" Mamoru jumped out of his chair, knocking it to the floor. He ran over to Usagi and helped her sit down. Chibiusa also ran over to her, Diana at her heels. Luna and Artemis, who had been sitting on the spare chair jumped on the table and ran over to her.
"Guys I'm alright. Its just." she took Mamoru's hand and put it to her stomach. "Feel." He held his hand there for a few seconds. Then he felt a slight push on his hand.
"Oh, wow!" he said. "That's the baby, isn't it?" She nodded. "Chibiusa come here. Feel."
"That is so cool." she said, putting her hand on Usagi's stomach.
Usagi looked up at both of them, then at the cats. "If its alright with you can I finish getting the breakfast on the table. And Luna, Artemis? Would you please get off the table."
"Oh, sorry, Usagi." said Artemis as he jumped off the table.
"It's alright." she said. She finished handing out the pancakes, then she sat down. "How did you sleep, Chibiusa?"
"Alright I guess. The couch isn't the most comfortable thing, but its alright." she said as she took a bit of one of the pancakes.
"I'm sorry. Tomorrow we can go out and get you a proper bed." said Mamoru. "Since we didn't expect anyone to be staying here, we haven't gotten a spare bed yet. We are planning on turning the spare room into a nursery. We can put the bed in there until you leave. If that is alright with you?" she nodded.
"Um… I wanted to talk to you…I wanted to ask you if you thought anymore about us going to Elysian. I would really like to see Helios soon." said Chibiusa.
"Mamoru and I talked about that last night." stated Usagi. "We have decided that we will take you there. After we finish with breakfast and get dressed we will be leaving."
"I'm telling you this. I don't know if he is there. But I'm sure if he is he will be very happy to see you." said Mamoru as he finished his pancakes. "Be ready in about a half hour and we will go."
He got up and went back into his bed room. Shortly after they could hear the sound of the shower. Usagi had lent Chibiusa one of her outfits (a red checkered off the shoulder t-shirt and a pair of short-orange shorts, and a pair of black sandals.). Chibiusa pulled her hair up into a single pony tail. Usagi wore a pink t-shirt, a pair of orange over-alls and a pair of white sneakers. She wore her hair (like always) up in two buns with pony tails. Mamoru wore a pair of jeans and white shirt.
Once they had all showered and dressed they were ready to leave. They had walked down to the park. Mamoru had taken them to a quite out of view place in the woods. They ended up having to carry the cats (Mamoru -Artemis, Usagi -Luna and Chibiusa -Diana). They walked a few feet into the woods and then stopped.
"What are we doing here?" whispered Chibiusa.
"Shh. Watch." whispered Usagi. She pointed at Mamoru. He handed Artemis to Chibiusa. He walked into a clearing and kneeled.
"Helios, guardian of Elysian!" he yelled. "I Prince Endymion, holder of the golden crystal, call you. Bid me and my guest safe passage into the Elysian Fields."
He shot up his hands. A bright golden light shot out from them. Behind Mamoru a golden portal opened. He stood up and brushed off his knees. He took Usagi's hand and led them into the portal. They were engulfed by the light. As the light faded they saw out into Elysian. Birds and animals were running and flying around. About three yards from them stood the Golden Kingdom Shrine. Standing on the steps was a young looking man dressed in all white and a golden gem on his forehead. He held his hand out to them.
"Welcome, Prince Endymion. Princess Serenity." said the man. "What has brought you to Elysian?"
"Thank you, Helios. We have come because I have brought someone that has pleaded with me to see you." said Mamoru. He reached his hand behind himself and pulled the pink haired young woman.
"Serenity!" he gasped.
"Helios!" she ran up to him and gave him a big hug. He embraced her, too. "I've wanted to see you for so long."
"How is it you have come back?" he asked.
"She came back a few days ago, along with the new children of Crystal Tokyo." said Mamoru. "She came here to help in the training of the new senshi." Helios pulled Chibiusa away for a second to look at her.
"You have grown up." he said. "You've grown into a beautiful woman." He pulled her closer again. Usagi pulled on Mamoru's arm and tilted her head, as to say 'lets let them alone for a while.' He didn't want to leave her but agreed.
"We will leave you two to talk. Chibiusa, we will be back in about a hour. Then we will have to leave." said Usagi, she winked.
"Yes, Usagi. Thank you Mamoru." she said. Usagi and Mamoru walked away down one of the paths.
"How have you been Helios?" asked Chibiusa, she was blushing.
"I have been very well. How did you know Prince Endymion could gain access here?" he asked.
"Back in the 30th century I found the secret to getting into Elysian. I had over heard daddy talking about how he had gone to visit here in the future. Then mommy had asked him how he got there. He told her that only you or himself could bring someone here." she explained.
"That is right. Gaining access into Elysian is a very privileged secret. If you were to call, I would open the portal to you." he said slightly blushing. "I've missed you. I knew you would keep your promise and come and see me again."
"I told you that I would come back when I became a lady, well here I am." said Chibiusa. She curtsied. "I've dreamt about coming to see you."
"I know. I've been watching your dreams. The past and future hold no time here. Elysian is a place where once dreams stay, no matted what day, month or year. I've wanted to visit you in your dreams, but I didn't want to interfere with your growing up." said Helios. Chibiusa took his hand.
"If you've been watching my dreams then you have seen, you live within them." she blushed. "Ever since you rode away on that pegasus I've dreaming of the day I'd see you again."
"I know."
Helios ran his hand over her cheek. It was as soft as silk. He put his hand under her chin and pushed it lightly up. Before he could, she leaned in a kissed him. Usagi, Mamoru and the cats had been watching them from behind a bush. Mamoru looked like he was going to attack. Usagi noticed this and put her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her.
"Let them alone." she whispered.
"But…" he whispered.
"Usagi's right" whispered Luna. "Chibiusa is a big girl now she can take care of herself. Just look at her. She really has grown up."
"She looks so much like you, Usako." whispered Mamoru.
"I know."
Chibiusa wrapped her arms around Helios again and just held him. He did the same. He had been so lonely in Elysian. He truly missed her. Chibiusa knew that Helios was her prince charming. She didn't need him to say anything to her, for her to believe that. She thought to herself 'I wonder if this is how Usagi feels for Mamoru?' Helios, himself, had a funny feeling building up inside of him. He had never felt this way before.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked Chibiusa.
"Just that I don't want to leave you, again." she said. "You?"
"For the first time in my life I don't know what I'm thinking. I've never felt this way before. I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay here with me." Helios said softly. He rubbed his hand down they back of her head. He had heard of this feeling before, but was afraid of it.
Usagi could tell that the conversation was getting quite serious. She wanted to get up closer so that she could hear better what they were talking about. Mamoru on the other hand wasn't liking where this conversation was going. He wanted to jump up and stop it (being the over protective father). Luna and Artemis knew that something like this would have happened if they had come here. Diana didn't really understand what was happening but she could tell that something was up.
"Helios?" asked Chibiusa. "Could I visit Elysian sometime when I go back to the future?"
"Of course. I just hope you don't wait to long to visit. I don't think I could stand not seeing you." he said. Again he caressed her face. A tear fell from her eye.
"I will miss you. But I am happy that I got to see you." she said. He wiped the tear from her face.
"Me too." was all he could say. Usagi knew it was time for them to 'come back.'
"Hey you two." she yelled. They both quickly pulled apart. "Have a nice chat?"
"Yes…Princess Serenity." said Helios quickly. Usagi walked over to him and leaned in.
"You have lipstick, right here." she whispered, pointing to her own mouth. He quickly wiped hand over his mouth.
"What did you two talk about?" asked Mamoru, looking at Helios.
"Just that I've been given permission to visit Elysian sometime." said Chibiusa. She had noticed what Usagi had whispered to Helios and wiped her finger around her lips trying to fix her lipstick.
"I do hope you have enjoyed your visit here, Prince Endymion."
"I have. I was nice of you to allow us access here, Helios." he said.
"Congratulations, Princess Serenity." said Helios "I see the birth of your daughter will soon be approaching."
"Yes, she will be with us soon." said Usagi. "I know we haven't been here, too long but we must get back to surface. The others maybe worried."
Helios had walked them back up to where they had entered Elysian. He had opened another golden portal. He bided Usagi and Mamoru fare well, as well as the cats. He asked Chibiusa to leave last. He pulled her close to him again and gave her a hug. She looked up and kissed him again.
"I will miss you until the next time I see you." she whispered.
"I, you. My princess." whispered Helios. He let her go and she walked through the portal. She again had a single tear running down her cheek, but vowed to return very soon. She wiped the tear from her cheek just before she walked through the portal. She didn't want Usagi and Mamoru to see that she was sad and crying.
"Enjoy your visit?" winked Usagi.
"Uh-huh."
"When are you going back for another visit?" she asked. Chibiusa just shrugged. "What did you guys talk about?"
"Nothing."
"Didn't look like nothing to me." whispered Mamoru. Usagi elbowed him. "Ouch!"
"What would you like to do now?" Usagi asked.
"Why don't we go and see Motoki at the arcade." suggested Chibiusa. "I haven't been to the arcade since I got back."
"Sure why don't we. We can go to the café and get dinner as well." said Mamoru, rubbing his arm.
Usagi, Mamoru, Luna, Diana, Artemis and Chibiusa met up with Rei, Phoenix, Makoto, Bella, Minako, Opal, Ami and Lily (Thor, Dove, Isis and Flora were with them) outside of the café. Mamoru had spotted Motoki talking to some people in a corner booth when they walked in. Motoki had seen them walk in.
"Mamoru! Usagi!" he yelled from across the room. One of people in the booth looked over the seat. They could tell that it was Setsuna. "Come on over and have a seat."
"Motoki, how are you doing. Didn't expect to see you up here." said Mamoru. He shook Motoki's hand. "Hey guys. What are all of you doing here?"
"We came here for some dinner. You?" said Setsuna.
"Ice cream." said Chibiusa. "Hey Hotaru."
"Hi."
"Where are the others?" asked Makoto, as she sat next to Michiru.
"They had to bring Kakyuu back home, but promised to be back soon." she said as she looked at the menu. "Now I know we aren't all going to fit in this one booth."
"Motoki, Mamoru help me mover this table." said Haruka. They dragged a near by table next to the booth. The others grabbed some chairs and sat down.
"How are you feeling Usagi?" asked Hotaru.
"I'm fine." she said rubbing her stomach.
"Guess what happened today." exclaimed Mamoru, almost jumping out of his seat. Some shrugged others said 'what?' "I felt her kick!"
"No way!" shrieked Michiru. She reached over Makoto and Bella and put her hand on Usagi's stomach. "Really? Is she kicking now?"
"No, I think she's sleeping." said Usagi. "She was moving a lot when we where in Elysian."
"You went to Elysian?" whispered Haruka. "Alone?"
"Yeah." nodded Mamoru. "Don't worry, after the problem we had with Nega-Verse we have made entrance into Elysian almost impossible. The only way to get in there is if Helios or myself brings you there.
"What happened there?" asked Phoenix, sipping some water. All of the children had heard of how Helios was also Pegasus and how Chibiusa had saved his life.
"Well Mamoru and I walked around, while Chibiusa talked with Helios." cooed Usagi.
"Really?" cooed Minako. "How is Helios doing, Chibiusa?"
"He's fine." she said, hiding her face behind a menu.
"Did he miss you?" cooed Makoto. She shrugged.
"He kissed her." said Diana.
"He what." gasped Minako, Ami, Michiru and Hotaru.
"DIANA!" yelled Chibiusa dropping the menu. Her face was bright red (blushing). "Were you spying on me?" she said, trying to calm down.
"It wasn't just me, it was…" Usagi and Mamoru quickly covered her mouth. Luna and Artemis just shook their heads.
"You all were?" squeaked Chibiusa. Her face grew redder. "I don't believe this." she hid her face in her hands.
"So, you came back here for some love, too." winked Haruka. "You go girl." Most of them started to laugh.
"What will your mother think?" said Ouranos. "I'm sure she will not approve."
"Oh Ouranos, your just jealous." said Bella. "We all know that you like her." she cupped her hands over her mouth. Everyone's eyes turned to him. He too was growing red.
"Ooo." cooed Minako and Makoto. "A love triangle. How cute. How come guys didn't fawn over us."
"You mean…you…he…" was all Chibiusa could say. She didn't know that Ouranos liked her. She thought that he liked Titan.
"And I thought it was going to be a quite night." said Setsuna.
"I thought that he liked you." said Usagi, pointing to Titan.
"Not like that." she said. "He has known ever since Chibiusa came back that he would never have a chance with her. She never stopped talking about Helios. But still." she sighed.
"I…I…" Ouranos jumped up from his seat, with Apollo following him closely. He climbed over Haruka, Mamoru and Motoki and ran out the door.
"Wait…" yelled Haruka. "I think I should go after him."
"What would you say?" asked Michiru.
"I don't know. But I can't just let him go running off."
"I'll go talk to him." said Chibiusa. She got up and so did Haruka. She held up her hand. "Let me talk to him. I'll make sure nothing happens to him. Diana you stay here. I don't want you going and telling everyone what happens."
"I'll go too, I didn't mean to embarrass him." said Bella. Chibiusa nodded.
"But…" Diana pouted.
"Stay." Chibiusa and Bella walked out the café door. Usagi nodded her head to Diana, telling her to follow. Thor followed too.
