AN: Well, nobody guessed 'em all right, but I never expected you too. It
seems some of you haven't read too many Cosmos fics; that was Cosmos last
chapter. But now that I reread it, she does seem like Pluto. Maybe I
*should* write that other fic I was gonna do for her. Hmmm... Thanks all!
"..." is talking, '...' is thought, [...] is AN, (...) is extra info but part of the fic, ... means trailed off, -- means interrupted. THIS CHAPTER BEGINS A LONG FLASHBACK.

I was always small for my age. Daddy used to call me his little Bunny.
I don't remember my mother. Little more than a year after I was born, she and Daddy separated; she insisted Daddy was too concerned with fighting and didn't care about me.
She took me with her when she left. I do remember the crash though. I remember the voices, the terrified voices, as the plane that was supposed to take us to the opposite side of the world, crashed. There was only one survivor, saved by some sort of miracle. Me.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
I was brought back to my father. I can't remember how, it seems like a dream. But I seem to always remember green, and a tall figure with a staff holding me. Daddy was very sad when he heard what happened, but from then on he raised me as best he could.
I waddled along after him as he showed me his moves and spoke of his countless world titles. Most of the time, I wouldn't pay much attention, having heard the same stories countless times, so I usually played with the turtles while he spoke. He tried to train me a few times, but he was always too soft on me and we never got far. What would he think of me today?
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
When I was about 5, Puu came. She spoke privately to my father, and told him about my mission in another world. Puu must have amazing persuasive powers, because I didn't think Daddy would let me go. He reluctantly agreed when she promised to bring me to visit at least once a year.
So from then on, I lived with Pluto and the Outers. At first I cried often, wanting to be with my Daddy, but Puu refused. The most she would relent to was to show me and image of him with her garnet orb [or w/e its called].
Eventually I got used to taking care of myself. My room was slightly smaller than the other bedrooms in the mansion (but that is still large) but more homely and lavishly furnished. Haruka and Michiru bought me a pile of stuffed animals, mostly bunnies and cats, for a welcome gift that sat in a corner. I was happy.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
They taught me many things. Haruka gave me piano lessons and Michiru taught me to sew while speaking French. I only saw Setsuna occasionally; I learned later that she spent most of her time guarding the Time Gates.
There was no talk of senshi business or the silver Millennium or anything. I had no idea. But to the innocent child I was then, ignorance was bliss. At the end of the year, Setsuna arrived and we headed back to visit Daddy for a day.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
He was overjoyed to see me. I was very surprised when I first arrived to see a purple turtle shell on his back. He looked older too, and was growing a beard. But before I could ask, he threw off the shell, grabbed a coat, and called the Nimbus to head to the main land.
o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
I had so much fun that day. He took me to the amusement park, and we rode all the rides together, and he won me prizes and bought me cotton candy. Then we went to the toy store and he bought the stuffed animal I wanted (a pink bunny) and then we went to the movies. He bought me dinner at a fast food restaurant and I got to swim in the ball pit and play on the indoor playground.
But all too soon, the day was over. Pluto arrived as the red sun disappeared over the horizon. The stars twinkled to life and she seemed even more mysterious. Daddy looked heartbroken. I thought I saw a tear slide down his face, but it might have been a trick of the light. I knew he, like me, didn't want this happy day to end.
While I chatted with Turtle on the shore, he pleaded with Setsuna. I caught stray words such as "don't leave me", "can't take it", "my bunny", and "alone". As a child, I didn't think much of it, but as I got older I began to understand his pain. He emerged defeated , looking even older.
"Pack your things, Usagi," he said simply. "It's time you head home." I didn't realize until later that he no longer referred to the isle as my home.

There were some subtle hints about the Dad in this chapter (basically none last chap). If you haven't seen certain episodes, you might not get this at all. I'll tell you which next chap. cause they'll probably all be revealed then. And if you get the Dad, You'll probably get the guy. So try your luck at a guess!!!
Thanx for reading, hope you liked it, please review!
