A Sailor Moon Fanfiction: The Pledge of the Sun.

Chapter 156

On a cloudy yet warm morning, Chibiusa was staring out of her window in her room, looking at the sky, lost in her own thoughts. She was reminiscing about her last meeting with Helios, most notably when he kissed her in his human form and how kind he was.

"That was the last time I saw Helios..."

And the more she thought of him, the more she felt her heart race and longed to see him. But as she poked the Crystal Carillon next to her, making it rattle, he didn't appear.

"I wonder why I haven't seen him for a while? And was the beautiful boy I saw his true form? If it is, why does he turn into a pegasus?"

Then, she heard Usagi.

"Hey, Chibiusa. Mom's made Snack for us," she said. "Are you gonna come down?"

"I'm trying to process something right now," replied Chibiusa, not even bothering to look back. "I'm hungry."

Usagi was shocked when she heard that. "What?!" she exclaimed. "But Mom's made her famous chocolate cake today! Are you sure you don't want any?"

Upon hearing that, hunger snapped Chibiusa out of her lovesick daze. "Well, I'm not hungry, but I'll still eat it!" she hastily conceded as she leaped out of bed and followed Usagi downstairs.

As she came down, she noticed that Usagi was already dressed, putting on her sandals and getting ready to leave.

"Hey, Usagi. Are you going somewhere?" asked Chibiusa.

"Mamo's still really sick. He's even been missing his university classes," Usagi explained. "So I figured he would like some company. You wanna come with?"

Chibiusa then suddenly remembered Helios, which caused her to grow slightly flustered, but she shook her head in reply. "Nah. I'm OK. You go ahead."

Usagi was surprised again. "That's unusual. Normally, you would jump at the chance to see him," she said. "But suit yourself. I'll be off then."

And while Chibiusa waved goodbye, Usagi left. But as soon as she was gone, she couldn't help but notice that her heart was racing again, much to her confusion.

"What's wrong with me?" the little pink ordango girl thought. "Since Helios kissed me, I can't stop thinking about him. I want to see him so badly so I can help him."

After her snack, Chibiusa went outside with Diana, hoping some fresh air would help get her mind off things. However, it would prove rather fruitless as she still thought about Helios.

"I wish there was someone I could talk to about this," she sighed. "Then again, I can't bring this up to Momo or Kyuusuke. Ami would probably tell me to focus on the Dead Moon Circus. Minako and Rei would probably want to know all the details. Maybe I should talk to Mako or Uncle Sunny. It makes me a little jealous that Usagi has so many friends she can talk to about this. It's not fair."

"Now, Lady. You shouldn't compare yourself to Usagi so much," Diana pointed out. "You're still a guardian in training, and Usagi's friends are your friends, too."

"I know, I know," Chibiusa mumbled. "And you don't have to call made Lady anymore since I'm not one now. Small Lady is fine."

But Chibiusa still couldn't help but picture herself being a strong and confident guardian with a squad of friends just like her mother.

"Someday, I'll be a great Sailor Guardian with my own team of friends fighting by my side. And I hope that day comes soon.
