A five-year old Chibiusa peeked into her parents' room late one night. Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion were yelling at each other. "Dammit, Usako! It's been five years!" Endymion roared.
"What's your point?" Serenity countered with a glare towards her husband.
"My point, deaest, is that there is a five year old girl down the hall who deserves to know the truth!" Endymion shouted, pointing out the door. His face was getting red and his temper was rising.
Serenity turned her back to her husband. 'Do you really think she's old enough to handle this?" she asked quietly. Then she spun around, with tears in her eyes. "Five years old! Could you have handled something this big at five?"
"I lost my parents when I was five. No one was trying to decide whether or not I deserved to lose my parents when I was five, Serenity!" Endymion yelled again, staring down at her.
"That has nothing to do with this! We're talking about this little girl's life, Endymion!" Serenity stared him down.
"You don't know what its like. You were just a ditzy little blonde with her parents fawning over her! You could've cared less about everyone else in the world!" Then Small Lady heard a loud smack. When she looked at her parents again, her mother was weeping and her papa was touching his left cheek softly.
"Don't you dare pretend like you knew me back then. I think you're forgetting that not six months later, I fought like hell to keep Metallia from rising and I stopped her," Serenity said harshly.
"All of us lost our lives in that battle, Serenity. I remember because I lost my life protecting you."
"After you spent two months trying to kill me," Serenity whispered.
"The worst two months of my life. Look, Serenity…Usako, I love you. I think we should just go to bed and discuss this later," Endymion suggested, beginning to take off his lavender tuxedo.
"You're right, I'm sorry," she said, reaching up and placing her lips on his cheek where she slapped him. Then she grinned at him and went in for a kiss on the lips.
Fifteen-year-old Small Lady got up from her bed and shook her head. How many times was she going to have this dream? She had it at least three times this week alone. She had always wondered what her parents were arguing about, though. She knew it was something about her, but she could never remember the conversation well enough to understand what they were arguing about. When she reached the kitchen, she poured herself a glass of milk before returning to her own room. Then she checked her clock, 6:30 A.M. Why get back in bed anyway? Small Lady thought and went to her bathroom instead.
Chibiusa looked at herself in the mirror. For years now, people had been telling her that she looked exactly like her mother at this age. A beautiful, pale face with big eyes that shined with an inner light. The only difference was she had pink hair instead of blonde and red eyes instead of blue. As she continued to wake up, she remembered what day it was and the events to come today. She giggled and jumped into the shower.
About an hour later, Princess Serenity was dancing all around the palace, slowly making her way to the dining room for breakfast. She had her pink hair done up into odangos that looked more like rabbit eras and was wearing her normal princess dress. She was humming a song that only she and her true love knew.(It's the song that played when Serenity and Helios first met in Elysian when she was an adult..)
When she arrived in the dining room, she saw her mother and father laughing with each other and smiling. This is how she preferred her parents, not arguing, but laughing. "Good morning, all!" Small Lady said in a very cheery voice. Both her parents looked up with huge smiles. For being over 1000, they both looked great.
"Good morning, honey. How'd you sleep?" her mother, Neo-Queen Serenity asked while beginning to shovel cereal into her mouth.
Neo-King Endymion shook his head. "Honestly, Usako!"
Small Lady just smiled even more. "I slept all right. Does everyone know what today is?" she asked eagerly.
"Please tell me its not another Senshi meeting," her mother answered.
"Or another anniversary…" Endymion muttered, but his wife heard him.
"WHAT?" she asked innocently. "I think celebrating the death of your hideous green jacket is just."
"Come on, you know it grew on you!" Endymion said, nudging his wife.
"If by grew on me, you mean it actually gained a soul and began to work of its own will, then yes!"
"GUYS!" both parents looked down at the table to see their daughter glaring at them.
"We're sorry, sweetie. What day is it?" Endymion asked her.
"Today Helios is coming up!" Chibiusa answered giddily. Her parents smiled at each other, remembering how horrible it was to be apart from your loved one.
"That's great, Small Lady! When is he getting here?" Serenity asked.
Small Lady was about to answer, but a male voice answered for her. "As fast as his wings can take him." Chibiusa turned around and saw the love of he life standing in the doorway. Helios no longer had a horn on his head, but instead a small round jewel that marked its place. He was wearing normal Earthling clothes instead of his priest-garb. HE had a dark blue T-shirt and blue jeans on. Chibiusa leapt up from her seat and ran over to him. She jumped into his arms, making her legs wrap around his waist s they wouldn't fall. Then she kissed him with all the passion she had built up since his last visit.
They kissed for so long and so passionately that it could've caused Venus to blush.
