Dreamgirllogan: Yeah. That in itself explains how complex the situation is. (Yay big words! LOL)
Invisible Love: Yup! Kudos to you! Your welcome!
Mystlady: Thank you! I don't want to say yet, because I'm waiting for the right moment. But to most people it probably won't be a surprise, but yeah. You know what's so weird? I'm totally not into crossovers, but I'm doing so much of them! Weird…

CHRONICLES OF A MOON PRINCESS
CHAPTER THREE: SCHOOL PROJECT
Yayoi and Himeno walked out of the high school. "The project for history sounds so exciting! I can't wait to find out about my family tree! It'll be so romantic, finding out about how my ancestors met each other and fell into such a deep love! How romantic!" Yayoi swirled around with stars in her eyes as Himeno sweatdropped.
"I guess it would be sort of interesting. I never knew anyone other than Mom and Dad, so it will be kind of cool learning about my grandparents and their parents and stuff," Himeno said.
"Yeah! Well, gotta go!" Yayoi waved as she ran in front of her friend and towards another street.
"My family tree…" Himeno said to herself. She was actually more excited than she had shown to Yayoi. She rushed home and ran through the doors, where the maids and butlers bowed and said, "Welcome home, Miss Himeno." Himeno waved to them and then went to find her father.
"Hey, Dad?" she asked as she found him working on a statue, making her even more happy because it wasn't a tulip titled "Himeno".
"Oh, hello, Himeno! How was school?"
"Great! We have this project about our family trees and I was wondering where I might find something…"
"Oh, I'm sorry, Himeno. I'm busy working on this." Kaoru obviously didn't want to get into it, so Himeno walked away.
'What's up with him?' Himeno wondered this as she walked up the steps. Then a thought occurred to her: She would look up in the attic. "Duh! Why didn't I think of that!"
Himeno walked up a few more flights of steps to the dusty attic. Himeno was pretty freaked out when she saw all the boxes.
"OKAY!" she shouted, regaining her optimism. "Now time to look!"
AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER…
"It has to be here somewhere…" Himeno muttered as she looked through some more boxes. A mouse crawled out of one, surprising Himeno. "AIEE!"
She jumped back and bumped into a stack of boxes. The one at the top, which was really small, fell right on her head. "Well," she said as she picked it up. "It could have been worse. It could have been a regular-sized box." Himeno accidentally tipped it and an item fell out. "Huh?" She picked it up, and saw that it was a star locket. Suddenly, a memory from a time so long ago came into focus…
A pink haired girl looked at a woman happily. The woman had two blonde buns at the side of her head and was wearing a crown. Out of the buns came large pigtails.
"Mommy, I hope someday when I become a wife like you, I can where such a pretty necklace!" Pink-girl said this as she pointed at her mother's locket.
The woman laughed. "Well, until then, you can keep this. It's a star locket so you can always remember life here with your father and I, even when we are apart." She handed the girl the necklace, and the girl beamed in happiness.
"Thank you, Mommy! I love you!" With that, the two hugged.
Himeno snapped out of it. 'That girl…' she wondered. 'That was me, wasn't it? But that woman isn't my mother…" Confused, she put the locket back in the box, but picked it up and carried it to her room.
At ten in the evening, the redhead stared at the locked and then opened it. A beautiful melody came out of it, and a moon crescent lit up and danced around the center of the locket.
"It's so soothing, like I'm coming home…" she thought. She crawled into bed in her plant pajamas, and fell asleep, listening to the melody.
When she woke up, since it was Sunday, Himeno looked through the rest of the box. She found a little key, a pendant, and some other things. Himeno stopped and looked at three specific things in particular. They were a note, a picture, and a decorated stick. She turned to the note first.
It read, Dear people who have taken custody of our child, we hope that you will be able to take care of our baby. Thank you so much for taking care of her. Her birthday is on June 30 and she is one year old right now. Please let her believe that she is your real child, we have our reasons for not telling her.
Thank you ever so much!
Himeno read it over and over. 'I…was adopted? So that woman…she was my real mother? What happened to her? What happened to my father? What's going on!'
She quickly grabbed the picture and stared at it. There was her, the pink-haired kid in the white dress. Her mother wore a similar dress, and appeared to have wings on her back. A man with black hair in a suit stood beside the woman, and Himeno guessed that that was her father. There was other people in the picture, too. There were women with blue hair, long red hair, blonde hair, brown hair, short blonde and medium-length blue hair, and a woman with greenish hair. There were three cats in the picture as well. Two large ones, one black and one white, and a little one that was purple, which sat on top of Himeno's younger self's head. Himeno's younger self and her true mother and the cats had moon crescents on their foreheads.
In the background, there was a beautiful crystal castle, and the sky was bright blue with puffy white clouds floating. The grass was so green, and there were flowers of every type there, even some that Himeno did not recognize. It was breathtaking.
Finally, she turned to the stick. She shook it a few times, trying to find the importance of it. "What the heck?" she wondered out loud. Suddenly, an orb appeared on the stick. Inside of the orb was…
"A horse with wings?" Himeno asked to no one in particular. (A/N I'm pretty sure she says something to talk to him, but I can't remember XP Gomen!)
"Hello, Small Lady," the Pegasus said.
Himeno jumped all the way to the door. "Oh my gosh! You just talked! And just appeared out of nowhere! I must be dreaming!"
"No, Chibi-Usa, you're not dreaming."
"My name's Himeno Awayuki, not Chibi-Usa! Why am I talking back to it?" she said as she plopped back on her bed. (A/N I got this part from Kaleido Star. It was so funny when Sora first started talking with Fool!)
The Pegasus sighed. "You really don't remember, do you? It was as we were told, but I was hoping…"
"Who are you?" Himeno interrupted, and started interrogating him.
"When we first met, I told you just to call me Pegasus. I then told you my name was Helios, when I showed my human form. I can't do it now, because if I'm caught talking to you, I have to get away as soon as possible."
Himeno sweatdropped. "Yeah, um, okay."
"Anyway, I know that you just discovered some clues to your past. If you want, I'll tell you all you need to know."
