An: This Is scene change. Yeah. I started updating….won't be a new chapter til I get these up again.

In the middle of the night, Elysion suddenly awoke; sweat dripping from her forehead, body shaking as if she were cold.

Just a dream. She thought as she rubbed her face, trying to erase the last remnants of her dream. It wasn't real. I'm safe. She sighs as she looks over to the spot where Terran usually sleeps, but was now vacant. She got out of bed, worried about her friend and decided to look for him.

Two in the morning. She shook her head as she crept through the empty hallways of the palace. It seemed to almost seem as if the whole palace was deserted to her. The shadows played on the walls that where near widows that should the moonlight shining through.

She turned the corner and was startled to hear a sudden noise, like crying. With her curiosity piqued, she postponed her search from the wolf to what this new sound was.

Creeping closer she heard voices, soothing the one that was crying in a lighted room.

"It's ok, Usa, everything is going to be ok." She heard the voice of Serenity say.

"But-but it felt so real." Usa sniffed, "It came and took him, mama. The thing took Helios!"

"Usa," This time it was Endymion's smooth voice that soothed the child, " Helios is safe in Elysian, you know that."

"I know papa, but it….it was so real.…I don't think I can ever go back to sleep." She stated.

Elysion peaked in the room, careful not to reveal her presence to anyone as she watched the whole thing.

Endymion had his arms around the teen, holding her close, giving her the comfort that she needed, while Serenity was on the other side of them, rubbing her back.

"It'll be ok, honey. It is all a dream."

" Yeah, Usa," Diana jumps up on the bed and curls up on Usa's lap, " Dreams can't hurt you."

"Thanks." Her voice was groggy and tired, almost as if she was about to drift off to sleep again.

Elysion watched as they tucked Usa in and kissed her goodnight. She backed away carefully and hid while they left, shutting the door behind them and went back to their rooms. She sighed, feeling the sense of envy and sadness that crept over her and into her heart. She knew she had no reason to be jealous of Usa, after all, being a princess must be tiring on the girl, but she couldn't help it. Usa had a happy family, friends, a good life, while she, Elysion, had her mom, Terran, the island, and no father. It wasn't that she didn't have a good home or life or a happy family, she did; but there was always this one thing that was missing from her life and that was a father.

She wandered the hallways, aimlessly now having given up the search for Terran, and thought of how life could be if she had ever grown up within these crystal walls. Would she be like Usa? Or something else entirely different? She didn't know and knew that she would've missed out on a lot of things if she had.

She stood in front of a door and opened it. It was the door to the inside park that was in the middle of the palace.

The moonlight filtered through the great glass windows, giving the surroundings a pale glow to them. It was in this that Elysion wanders in, losing herself in the maze of plants and flowers. She stood in front a small pond that was built in the middle of the park.

She sat, staring at her reflection. ' You have your father's eyes.' She started to grow angry at her image and struck out, destroying her reflection. I don't want to have his eyes! She thought furiously as tears started to blur her sight and fall to her cheeks, I want his love…I want a daddy.

"Elysion!" Usa yells looking around, "Elysion! Come on, it's time for School!"

She sighed and walked down stairs to the dinning room, where everyone was having breakfast, "Has anyone seen Elysion?"

Minako looked up from her waffles, "What?" She ate a bite, "Isn't she in her room?"

The pink haired teen shook her head, "No." She went and sat down, "Her bed was made and her clothes are gone."

"Maybe she left early." Ami suggested taking a sip from her cup of orange juice, "she might want to be there early."

Usa shrugged and left, "I'll see you this afternoon, ok?"

"Bye sweetie!" Serenity calls out.

But Elysion was not at school either. In fact, no one had seen her all day and that was starting to worry the Senshi.

"Where could she be?" Makoto sat heavily on the sofa, "I mean, she can't have gone far and she doesn't have any money."

Elysion stood on the deck of Crystal Tokyo Starlight Tower, where you could go up and watch the stars come out at night. She had been there all day long, staring off into space, watching the sky grow from bright to dark, waiting for the sun to set. Someone had told her that the view was spectacular from the tower and had shown her the way to it.

At the moment, she was humming a song her mother had taught. Her mother had a lovely singing voice and had often sung her to sleep or while cooking she would hum an occasional tune.

She watched the sun slowly drift from the sky.

"It's a little past supper time" She began to sing, watching the stars starting to peak out of the darkened sky, "I'm still out on the porch step sittin' on my behind." She sighed a looks down at the soon-to-be, quiet streets of Crystal Tokyo as the lights began to appear all over the city.

"Waiting for you.

Wondrin' if everything's alright,"

She turned and started walking away from the deck riding the elevator down to the main level than walked off towards the palace, singing barely above a whisper,

"Mama said, "Come in girl, don't waste your time,"

I said, "I've got time. Well he'll be here soon.""

She shook her head, how many times had she done that?' She wanders to herself, ' How many times had she sat, waiting for her father to appear?'

"Five years old and talkin' to myself.

Where were you? Where'd ya go? Daddy can't you tell?"

She chuckled to herself, 'Where indeed, father?' How uncanny that the song her mother taught her reflected her situation perfectly? It was almost as if the singer or writer, knew what was going on in her life. She looks up ahead, noticing that she was getting closer to home.

"I'm not tryin' to fake it, and I ain't the one to blame."

It was true that her mother didn't blame her; her mother blamed herself for this mess. Many of times she had heard her mama sobbing in her room that she shared with the young girl. 'It must've hurt her.' She thought, allowing her tears to run uncheck. 'To see him again and know he only sees you as a friend.'

"No, there's no one home in my house of pain.

I didn't write these pages and my script's been re-arranged.

No, there's no one home in my house of pain."

She was only a block away from the palace, feeling deep sorrow for her mother and sadness for herself. She didn't want to break their family up. They had deserved to be happy. It would hurt them to find out…but at the same time, she wanted him there. She wanted him to protect her, like a daddy should and spoil her a little. To scare off perspective boyfriends. To meet her fiancé and give his blessings or walk her down the isle when she would get married. It hurt not to have him there.

Elysion paused for a moment, ' If he ever found out…would he love me?' She didn't want to think about that and brush another tear away. She hated this…

"Wasn't I worth the time?

A girl needs a daddy like a dance to mime and all the time,

I looked up to you.

I paced my room a million times."

She began to question her mother's choice in telling her who her father really was. 'Why couldn't he be someone else?' She wonders looking up at the sky for guidance, 'Why couldn't he be anything else, but a king with a family? What did we do so wrong to deserve this?'

"And all I ever got was one big line, the same old lie.

How could you?

Well I was fifteen and still talkin' to myself.

Where were you? Where'd ya go? Daddy can't ya tell?"

She stood before the door and almost laughed at herself. ' I am talking to myself, aren't I?' she mused as she turned the knob and walked in, 'I must be going crazy.'

Elysion came face to face with two very angry Sovereigns; their worried looking daughter, and their guards. She silently wished she was still back at the deck and knew she shouldn't have left. 'Oh well.' She thought with an inaudible sigh, 'time to face the music.'

"Where on Earth have you been?!" Serenity pulled the girl into a hug then looked at her, "You had us all worried about you Elysion!"

"Anything could have happened to you!" Endymion added, "And Kritra would've killed me if she knew we had lost you!"

Rei nods, "Yeah, and you didn't tell us where you were going or anything!"

"No one knew where you were!" Haruka scolded in a harsh tone, " Not even that guy, what's his name…Nigel! Knew where you were!"

Ami frown deepen, "And you missed a day of school as well." She folded her arms and gave the black girl a stern look, "How are you going to get into college if you keep this up?"

"And you had us worried that someone had kidnapped you?" Michiru adds, "What if you got mugged? Or worse! Raped?"

"You can't go wandering around the city if you do that!" Minako pointed out, "You could've been killed!"

"No matter how safe it may seem," Makoto sighs, "Crystal Tokyo is not all that safe as it seems."

Setsuna nods, "In all my years, I've seen that this is true." She told her, "Nothing is completely safe. There is always going to be that type of danger around. You need to be more careful, Elysion, if you're going to live here."

"Not all battles can be fought with weapons or power." Hotaru added on a wise note.

Elysion shook her head, sighing as she moved through the room.

"Where are you going?" Usa asked, confused, "Aren't you even going to tell us where you've been or at least apologized?"

Elysion glanced behind her, "I'll apologize later…I just needed…some time alone." And with that she left.

AN: Yeah, it's…just lying around…and..yeah…sending more…uhuhuhuhuh…
