"Midori, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. Ask away!"

"If your own father promised you to a man you hardly know in your entire life, how would you feel? Besides that, what if there is already a person you love?"

Midori spun around on her heels and stared at the pink princess with wide, surprised brown eyes. Surely she wasn't thinking about Kira again, was she? But by the looks of it, it was a big definite yes. "Well, I'll throw up a fiery temper and leave home. Or maybe elope with the guy I love. But surely you, missy, would never do that?"

Lacus sighed in a rather resigned tone. "I would never do that. After all, father and mother both have dreams for me to marry Shawn, but I just can't go through that. Not now, not EVER." She exclaimed in frustration as she continued on with her sentence. "I wish…oh I wish that Kira can just come and see me for one last time…just…this final time before I marry Shawn!"

Midori smiled in a rather sad tone. Shawn was the only son of Dawn and Ash Olsen. She always thought that he was stubborn and stuck up. Not to mention selfish. He always seems to treat Lacus very possessively. "Why not you go for a walk in the moonlight then, missy? The people in my homeland say that the moonlight clams your nerves and some say that you shall meet your true love there."

Lacus, upon hearing the myth of Midori's homeland, threw down the pink shawl she was clutching and raced towards the door calling out "I'll be back in a flash!"

In the Crystallin forest…

Lacus wandered through the bushes as thin branches cracked under her weight. Midori was right. Her nerves did calm down. She soon reached a pool of crystal clear water and headed towards it. What she saw was a reflection of herself and…Kira!
