Chapter 4:

ChibiUsa's dream..

ChibiUsa finds herself in a HUGE world.

She was on the ground outside. But,this time, the blades of grass were skyhigh! Exaggeratingly more taller than herself. She turns around and see's a ladybug walk right past her as big as a car! Terrified, she runs away at high speed.

She always thought ladybugs were cute and all, but not that up close!

She runs until she ran out of breath trying to get out of this strange place. But it seemed like it was no use since no matter where ever she went, it all looked the same.

Grass.

She started calling out. "Hello?" She waits for a response and gets nothing.

She tries again. "Hello!"

Nothing.

ChibiUsa suddenly noticed everything going dark. She looks up and her eyes widen. It looked like something was gonna land on her! Before she could get away, she gets scooped up instead of getting squished like she thought. She then holds on and closes her eyes tight as she is being lifted. When she feels no movement, she slowly peeks and realizes she was laying on someone's hand. Looking up, she notices the person easily.

"Helios!" She sits up quickly. Helios looks at her, rather amused at the sight of ChibiUsa so tiny.

At that moment she wakes up.

"What a weird dream..." she tells herself as she rubs her eyes. She turns to lay on her side and see's Helios laying down right next to her, wide awake. ChibiUsa's heart nearly stopped.

"Good morning, maiden."

"You've been surprising me way too much nowadays!" ChibiUsa exclaims as she tries to catch her breath and slow her heart rate. Helios does nothing but chuckles at her, smiling.

ChibiUsa continues, "You were in my dream."

"I know."

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon. When you said you would see me again I didn't think you meant the next morning." she giggles.

"How could I resist-"

They both suddenly hear her mother calling out to her to come for breakfast. "Well, I'll have to see you in a little bit. I don't want them to become suspicious and come looking for me and end up finding you." ChibiUsa tells Helios, not hiding her disappointed face. Helios blinks, confused at her statement.

Helios shrugs it off. "How about I go along with you? Greet them. It's been a while since I've seen any of them as well. I would love to see them again." As soon as he finishes speaking, her notices her expression change.

ChibiUsa lowers her gaze and sighs, "I dont think so.."

Helios, still looking confused, asks " Well, why not?"

ChibiUsa continues to looks down, not sure of what to say. Helios notices this and gets worried. "What is it? Is something wrong?" ChibiUsa looks back up at him "No,Helios. Nothing's wrong." His expression becomes stern. "Maiden, I know you too well. Even though it's been so long, too long, I still know you very well. Trust me. You can tell me anything." He then scoots closer to her, closing the space between them.

"Helios..."

"Tell me." He begins running his hand through her hair.

ChibiUsa hesitates at first, but then lets out a heavy sigh as if getting ready. "Well, my mother and father...don't quite approve of you any longer...and.." When she tries to continue, she notices his hand pull away from her and looks at him clearly reading his expression.

Hurt.

"Well, why is that? Is it something that I have done?" He asks looking for the answer in her eyes.

"It's not exactly about what you've done. More like something you didn't do..." ChibiUsa checks if Helios understands what shes trying to say.

He had no clue.

She then makes it more clearer. "You see.. My mother and father approved of you back then, to say the least. They actually thought we were meant to be and that you really did love me. But, as the years went on and you didnt show.. They think those arent the actions of a man who loves a woman. That action being keeping a loved one wait for so long. They began to believe you didnt love me because they believed that if you really did love me.. You would've come back to me right away.."

ChibiUsa looked at him for a long time, examining his face. There was silence. It looked as though Helios were trying to get that through his mind. It seemed as though he couldn't. It was hard to finally pull himself together. Obviously trying to hide his emotions.

"Well, my maiden.. You should be going now. Shouldn't keep your mother and father waiting.." Helios then forced a smile upon his lips. It looked so fake to ChibiUsa.

Not saying a word, she embraced Helios, closing her eyes to take in his warmth.

When they parted, she simply got up and went downstairs to meet her parents for breakfast, flashing a smile at him before closing her door.

At breakfast..

ChibiUsa's mother and father practically stared at their daughter through the whole morning. She was eating so fast,they were astonished she didn't choke.

"Uhm...how is everything with you, Small Lady?" Her mother, Neo Queen Serenity, asked ChibiUsa.

"Oh, fine! Just fine." ChibiUsa responded before downing a whole glass of orange juice at once. She then get's up and practically runs to the staircase to go back to her room.

And just like that, she's gone.

"Wow." her father mouths to her mother.
