V:
It was beautiful day in Crystal Tokyo which was prefect for city's founder day celebration. The streets were fill with people shopping, eating, and enjoying the festivals game. In the Crystal Palace the royal family, the senshi, and the guests of honor were attending a ball. Everyone was in their best entire and dancing gracefully to the music.

The queen finished a dance with her husband and glanced around the ball room. She her friends were having a good time. The queen then saw her daughter talking to some young boys and she the scan the room again and noticed her son was no where to be found. She let out a sigh and wonder what he was up to.

Meanwhile, Haru was in the Crystal Forest climbing a tree. When he reached the top, he noticed it was high enough that he could see anything! He could even see Crystal Tokyo! He saw ballons flying out the city and then it dawn on him. The Royal Ball was going on! He quickly climbed down the tree and ran toward his horse who grazing by a lake. He got his horse and road back to the palace. He prayed that his parents wouldn't kill him.

Luna:
Small Lady wasn't so small anymore. She knew she was growing into a woman her parents would be proud of. That being said she wished she didn't have to stand here and talk to these boys. She didn't understand them most of the time. It was like younger boys spoke a different language one that she wasn't given a translator for. She smiled and nodded laughed when they laughed but really she wanted to be away from them.

Small Lady really wanted to know where her brother was. He was after all a member of the family and should be here. That and he would know what to say to get the boys away from her. Small Lady never did know what to say to boys and she guessed her parents were some what thankful for that.

Looking around the room again, hoping to spot her brother, she saw something that could at least be fun. The refreshments table. Batting her eyes, she sweetly asked the boys to get her something to drink and they all ran off. Taking her chance to get away, she walked as fast as she could and still maintain her posture. She crossed the room and nearly hid behind the pillars, hoping that those boys won't find her again.

v:
Haru made it back to the palace and put his horse away in the stable. He then ran over to the backstairs that led inside to the palace. When he came inside, he heard the party noises coming from the ball room. He quietly went upstairs to his bedroom and took a quick shower in his on suite bathroom. He then put his nice suit on and went straight to the ball room.

When he walked into the ballroom, he glanced around and saw his parents' backs were turned. He sighed in relief. They won't see him coming in from the entrance. Haru walked around the ball room to make it appeared that he had been there whole time. As he was walking he noticed his sister hiding behind a pillar. He grinned and walked over to her.

"I guess you're not the only one who doesn't want to be here, huh?" he questioned her.

Luna:
Small Lady looked at her brother. "Don't think that Mom and Dad haven't noticed you weren't here." She said, then with a sigh, "I'm avoid boys. I can't understand them in a group and they always have to be in groups to talk to me." She shook her head, her pink pig tails swinging. "So no, I don't want to be here." She said a sly smile forming on her face. She loved her brother dearly and she would do anything for him, but she couldn't get him to understand how important things like this were. She hated them, she didn't like being stuffed into dresses that were impossible to move in or wear shoes that gave her blisters, but she had to. Over all she was able to smile and get through it.

"Haru.." She started her voice sweet and sicking."Could you make those boys leave me alone?" If there was one thing her brother did well it was drive off other people. She hoped that he would do this for her, she couldn't stand talking to them another moment.

V:
"Of course I will, Chibi," replied Haru with a smirk. He loved calling his sister chibi when they were growing up. Now, he mainly used that nickname to tease her. He walked over to the group of boys who were looking for his sister. Even though he was the younger brother Haru felt like a protective big brother. Plus he didn't like how these boys were only interested in her because she was the princess.

"Hey guys," he spoke to them. The boys turned around to saw the prince standing there. "My sister left the ball room and went outside to the royal garden. She wanted me to let you all know. " The boys then eagerly left the ball room.

Haru went back over to his sister and said, "I send them away to the garden saying that you were there. Since we're both miserable here why don't we sneak away to the celebrations downtown? The townfolk have more fun than us royals."

Luna:
Small Lady cringed as her brother used his nickname for her. Sighing she waited for him to come back. "Thank you so much, Haru." She said sliding around the pillar and leaning against it. This was a boring party, so she gave her brother a sly smile. She had made an appearance she could slip out now right? And her brother was right, the town folk always did throw a better party than they did anyway.

"That sounds like a plan." She said. "So how are we going to get out of this mess?" She asked looking around. "And we can't go dressed like this." She gestured at her dress and her brothers suit. They would stand out in the crowd downtown. "So let's slip up, change and meet in the stables in what 30 minuets?" She asked looking around. If they managed to exit the room in different ways their parents might not notice they're both gone.

V:
Haru nodded his head and walked away from his sister. He was glad she was up to this! It has been awhile since they sneaked away together. Ever since she turned 18 she has been too busy with her princess duties. Haru missed spending time with his sister.

The young prince causally walked over to the area where the bathrooms were for the guests. He pretended he was on his way to the men's room, but may a huge turn in the hallway that lead to the living quarters of the palace. He made it to his room and got out his suit. He then opened his dresser drawers and pulled out a T-shirt and some jean shorts. He hoped his sister had some clothes that looked common. He got dressed and quietly made his way to the stable.

Luna:
Small Lady made her way across the room and towards the living quarters of the palace. She found her way up to her room and managed to change out of her dress and into a knee length skirt and a nice t-shirt. She stood in front of her mirror and wondered about her hair and the skirt. they were riding after all. She took her hair down and pulled it into a pony tail that hung more than half way down her back. Turning to her dresser she thought about jeans but decided to skit with the light pink skirt. Her shirt was one her brother had given her. It was a pale shade of pink that matched her skirt with a graphic of a heart on it. She loved it. She checked to make sure she wasn't wearing any of her good jewelry and set out to the stables.

She was exited. It had been to long since they had run off together. She nearly giggled all the way to the stables, she smiled as she turned the corner, and saw her brother waiting for her. "Are you ready?" She asked walking quickly over to her horse and saddled the white stallion. The beautiful horse reminded her of Helios but he was off on his own, and she hadn't seen him in years. Smiling she got in the saddle and waited for her brother.

part two:

V:
Haru gave his sister a grinned and he hopped onto his horse. He was really excited about going to the town folk's festival with his sister. He lightly tapped his horse with his feet and she took off slightly running. Haru glanced back and saw Small Lady following right behind him. He then looked ahead and kept his horse at even pace. He wondered he should wager a horse race with his sister when they return home later.

When they arrive at the city, the royal children found a place to hide their horses from the crowds. They then headed into the town and saw that every street and corner were dec out and there were festival booths everywhere. Haru smelled something roasting in the air and stomach growl. He grabbed Small Lady's hand and led her to where the smell was coming from. He saw a stand was grilling some corn on the cob. He went up to the owner and bought two roasted corn. One for him and his sister.

"Here," he said and handed over the corn. "Roasted corn is the best!" He then peeled down the husk and bit into his corn. It was delicious!

((OOC: I hope I'm not moving Chibiusa around too much.)

Luna:
Small Lady giggled at her brother's enthusiasm. It was contagious. She was smiling by the time they found the corn stand. "Thanks Haru." She said accepting the corn. It was wonderful. Much better than the food at the palace ball. Small Lady was so glad to have taken her brother up on the offer to get away. He was right this was more fun, and it Mom and Dad found out it might be their last bit of fun for a while. But really Small Lady didn't care.


"Let's play some games!" Small Lady suggested, her voice full of excitement. She grabbed her brother's hand and dragged him off towards the game stands. Maybe this year they would win a really big one.

Small Lady usually gave her prizes away to children around the festival, she couldn't have proof that she was out of the palace during a royal party, but she always loved the looks on the children's faces when she gave them her stuffed animals or gold fish.

"Come on Haru." She nearly whined. Small Lady felt the need to be a child now more than ever!

((OOC: nah I'll just drag him to the game stands. Lol)

V:
Haru laughed. He loved seeing his sister this happy! When they got to one of the game stands he saw all the stuff animals line up on the wall of the stand. The game was tossing a ring over an old soda bottle. The color of bottle that your ring you land determined your prize.

"We got some good prizes this year! Would you two like to try win something?" the stand owner asked both Small Lady and Haru.

Haru handed the man some quarters and he handed him some rings. He had 5 tries to win something. Haru was determined to win something for his sister. Something small that could easily fit inside her pocket. He looked up at the color key and noticed that the tiny stuff animals were prizes for the red bottles. Haru took his rings and aimed them for the red bottles. It took him all 5 tries to get a prize.

"Excellent," said the stall owner and placed a bin of prizes on the stand's counter. "Pick your prize out of this bin."

"Sis," said Haru not referring to her name so the man doesn't know who they are. "I will let you pick. The prize is for you."

Luna:
Small Lady beamed at her brother. He had gone to all the effort to make sure he won something small enough for them to take home. She looked through the prizes till she saw a small stuffed bunny. It was pink, and had blue eyes and floppy ears. Pointed "That one please." She said. "Thanks so much, Brother!" She said taking the hint not to use their names. She hugged him, she couldn't remember the last time she had so much fun.

"Here let me try next." Small Lady gave the man her coins and started her game. While she took just as long to get her ring on the bottle it was colored for a medium prize. "Sorry my aim was never as good as yours." She said. "But go ahead, pick something out." She grinned at her brother.

V:
Haru beamed when his sister got him something as well. The man behind the booth pointed to normal sized stuff animals that were hanging on the wall. Haru looked at everyone and went with a stuff wolf because they were his favorite animal. The man took it off the wall and handed it over to Haru.

"Thanks, sis," he replied after he grabbed the stuffed wolf from the man. "Where do you want to go next? Should we play another game? Or should we get some more food?"

Luna:
"food sounds great!" Small Lady was getting hungry and the smell of the food around them didn't help. Plus she hadn't eaten all day to be able to breath in that dress their mother insisted she wore to the ball. "Let's try over there." She said pointing towards where she hoped that smell was coming from.

She had missed time with her brother and she didn't know it till now. Maybe they could take a day once a month and just hang out. She smiled at that thought. "You know we should do this more often."

V:
Haru nodded his head. "Yes, we do! I will just have to kidnap you and take you on my journeys into the wilderness. Sis, you will love this lake I found the other day. It's fun to go swimming in and there are many neat wild animals. Now, let's get food!" He then grabbed his sister's hand and they headed toward the direction Lady pointed in. They came across a booth that had many different types of festival food. Haru saw some popcorn and bought some right away.

Luna:
Giggling as her brother pulled her off in the direction of the food stalls, Small Lady couldn't help but smile. After they stopped at the stall, she looked over the treats available for them to buy. She choose a funnel cake. "That lake sounds wonderful. I bet I could get some great sketches there." Small Lady wasn't the best artist, but she did love to draw. "But don't you think both of us going missing might cause trouble?" She paused and thought about it. "Nah, Mom and Dad need a little trouble to keep sharp." She giggled. Taking a deep breath of her cake she took some in her fingers and raised it to her mouth. As the sweetness hit her tongue she remembered why she loved coming to the festivals away from the place. "I so wish they would serve these back home." She said her mouth half empty. Like her mother Small Lady had a problem with sweets, the liked them too much. "Think we can talk Mom into it? After all she's a bigger sweets fan than me." She laughed and the light from that laugh was evident in her eyes. Oh this was going to be so much fun.

V:
Haru just shrugged when his sister made the comment of about them getting to trouble for sneaking out. He really didn't feel like it was sneaking out especially since his sister was 18 years old. She was an adult now and she had every right to go where she wanted. He just took out a bit of his funnel cake and allowed his sister to keep talking. She then brought up their mother's sweet tooth.

"Maybe we could talk her into allowing more sweets," he replied after gulping down his food. " It shouldn't take much to convince her."

Luna:
Small lady giggled. Haru was right, it wouldn't take to much to talk their mom into more sweets around the palace. She was always looking for something sweet to eat. "You're right there." She looked towards the palace. "I wonder if they've noticed we're missing yet." Not that she cared she just wondered if their parents were paying attention. The thought of their dad running around looking for them made her giggle and feel a little guilty. She really hoped the didn't send the palace guard after them or the Senshi. That would not go over well. "Oh Haru, this is great." She said finishing off her funnel cake. "What should we do next?"

Haru looked out at the festival and wondered what they could do next. They should probably take a break from eating so their stomachs dont get upset. They could play some more games, but there had to be something else to do! He then heard musical starting to play nearby. He turned around and saw a group of people beginning to dance.

"Would you like to have a dance?" he asked.

Small Lady giggled. "Of Course!" She said and they started off towards the dancers. They fell into the rhythm of the dance easily and picked up the steps, quickly. Small Lady silently thanked their mother for making them take dance lesson for all those years. Smiling she found her groove and stuck with it. The dance was fast paced and really took a lot effort to keep up. But all the while she was giggling. This was certainly more fun than she would've had at the ball. All those suitors always trying to get her attention. She hated it. But out here with her brother, she was just another girl and that was something after all.

The Royal parents did notice their children were missing and they sent Diana after them. The poor little grey kitten tired to get them to send her mother or one of the senshi after them, but no, they sent the kitten. Well she wasn't really a kitten anymore, more like a young cat, but still. She had grown herself, into a young woman when in human form. Her grey hair was longer and she was taller. Sighing she walked to town waiting to give the prince and princess more time to enjoy themselves, cause if what the king was saying happened they wouldn't be going anywhere any time soon. 

Diana thankful was a usual around town and she was normally at the town celebrations instead of the place ones. Usually cause she didn't have to be at the palace parties, like her parents yet. She wasn't officially part of the court and she was thankful for that, but she wished they wouldn't send her with the prince and Princess went missing. 

She spotted them dancing. Small Lady was smart to take her hair out of her normal odango style and let it hang in a ponytail down her back. If Diana hadn't grown up with the lady she wouldn't know who she was. Sighing she stood back and watching the dance. They were having so much fun and she hated to ruin it. 

Suddenly Diana felt herself being pulled towards the dance by hands that were rough from working the fields. "No no!" She shook her head and tried to get away but the hands were strong and she was soon face to face with Haru. 

She smiled at the prince. "I'm here to take you home." She said as they danced together.

"Diana!!" Haru saind in shocked that he ended up dancing with her when they had to switch dancing partners. "I guess the jig is up, huh?" He let go of the cat's hands and went to find his sister. He saw her with her new dance partner.

"Sorry," he apologized to the man. "My sister and I have to go now." He then grabbed his sister's hand and took her back to Diana. He wasn't happy that his parents sent the young guardian cat to get them. Couldnt they for once let them avoid royalty duties? Yes Lady was 18, but she still a kid at heart and kids need to have fun!

"I guess we should head home now," he said to the cat girl.

Diana felt so bad for ruining their fun. She wished they had sent someone else after them. One of the Senshi would have been better than the easily swayed cat.

Small Lady saw how much it bothered Diana to be the police, so she stepped in. "They said you had to take us home." She smiled at both her brother and her best friend."But they never said when."

At that Diana perked up. She always did love the festivals and this was one of the best in a while. "I heard that the snacks this year are amazing and it would be such a same if we didn't try them." Diana added hoping they were all on the same page. Maybe this would be fun after all. 

Small Lady smiled. "So Haru, think we could show poor sheltered Diana a fun night?" She asked winking at her brother. She wanted to dance a little more and try some of the other games. Not to mention the food that was sold everywhere. 

"I think we could have some fun on our way back." Diana put in. She was teen too, and even though she was a stickler for the rules she liked to bend a few once and a while.

Haru was proud of his big sister for finding a loop hole in their parents' orders. He just nodded his head and gave the girls a smirked.

"Yes we have to get you some of the tasty food. Then we can play some more games and stay for the big firework show! It will be nice to see them up close instead of far away. Sounds like a plan?" He was hoping Diana would be up to staying that late seeing how the firework show didn't start until 8. Haru was not ready to go home at all because his father will punish him.

Diana looked at the Prince a worried look in her eyes that changed to one of mischief as she nodded her approval of his plan. "I like this plan, I'm proud to be part of it." She said. Diana wasn't always the stick in the mud that they said she was. 

Small Lady giggled and took both her brother and Diana by the arms and headed back to the food stalls. This was going to be a night to remember.

The three friends walked around the festival and partake in more festival like activities. Near the end of the festival the three friends found the prefect spot to watch the fireworks show. It was amazing to see it up close instead from far way at the palace. After the show ended, the three of them returned to the palace.

Haru headed off in a different direction from Diana and Small Lady. He knew he would be more trouble than his sister. He went through the kitchen to get the stairwell that servants used to get to the royal family bedrooms. When he got up the stairs, his mother was standing there waiting for him. He took a gulp and couldn't believe she was waiting for him this whole time.

"Haru," she spoke in a stern voice.

"Hi, mom," he said spoke nervously. "How's it goes?"

The queen shook her head at him and spoke, "Fine, but I'm not here to chat. You're father wanted me to tell you that he's waiting for you in your bedroom."

"He is?"

"Yes is he's not please with your actions tonight. Now, I'm off to go find your sister." The queen to turned around to go find the princess.

"Like always," he mutter under his breath as he watched his mother leave. Every time Haru was in trouble his mother would have his father deal with him. Not once she has scolded him or even spent time with him alone. She was more concern about his sister.

Haru went to his room and opened the door. He saw his father out the balcony gazing at the moon. Haru let out a sigh and walked over to his father. "Hey, dad."

“Haru.” Endymion did not turn around.

Though Haru did not share the same responsibilities as his sister, he was still a prince and there were certain things that were expected of him. He knew that his son was still young and enjoyed the freedoms of other children his age and they tried to extend that courtesy to him. Lately it seemed that Haru was pushing that boundary. Endymion had to admit that at times it was easy to forget that Haru has not lived through the dark times that he, his wife and even Small Lady had. Haru has known nothing but peace and it was easy to become complacent. Punishment did not seem to have the same effect anymore and Endymion was struggling to find another way to get through to his son.

“Where were you?”

Judging by the way his father said his name, Haru could tell his father wasn't happy with him. He didn't answer his question right away. He wasn't sure if he should come up with a lie or tell the truth. Although since he took his sister with him and his parents sent Diana after them there really was no choice to tell the truth.

"I took Lady with me to the city's festival," he replied. "I thought it be fun to experience our people's culture first hand. Lady will take the crown someday so why not have her get to know the people on a personal level? The people will have a better view of her." Haru really tried to bullshit his answer to make it look he wasn't goofing off. Also so Lady wouldnt get into too much trouble.

Endymion sighed. If only Haru put this much time and effort into his studies.

“As good as your intentions may have been.” Endymion tried to keep the frustration out of his voice. “You should not have left without telling anyone where you were going. If something had happened to either of you we may not have known until too late.”

Endymion stepped away from the balcony and motioned for his son to follow him. Endymion sat down at Haru’s desk and waited for Haru to sit down before continuing.

“Yes Small Lady will be the queen one day and your mother is preparing her for that role.” Endymion’s voice softened but was still stern. “The ball is part of the learning experience for her and you as well. I know that they may be be fun for you but as you get older you will see.”

Endymion folded his arms. He was becoming weary of having the same conversation with Haru. Scolding does not seem to working. Endymion made note to mention this to his wife to see if there anything else they could try to get through to Haru.

Haru rolled his eyes and turned his back to his father. "Both us have been to that ball many times and same the goes for the other ones. They're all the same. It's just bunch of stuck up people and fancy food. Lady and I had a great time today just being normal kids. Why is that so bad?"

He didn't get what was the big deal about them sneaky off. Also his big sister was 18 for Christ sake! She was an adult so she had every right to make her own decisions.

Lady sat in her room, her eyes still full of fireworks and stars. She had a great time and she knew that before long her mother would be in to "talk" to her about her actions tonight. She could already hear it. "A Princess and Future Queen does not sneak out to go play with her little brother at a common fair." And Lady like always would murmur her apologizes and keep her head down. She would show that she was sorry for her actions and promise, (while lying) to never do it again. It was always the same.

Honestly Usagi had changed. She missed the whiny crybaby teen the Queen had been when they had first met before they knew who they were to each other. "I want to go back to that." She knew the queen as her friend and big sister and now after her trips is was hard to be her daughter anymore. And now that she was of age and able to do for herself...

Her train of though stopped. She was of age...there was nothing they could do if she wanted to go she could go..

She got up and with a dream-like walk moved to stand in the window and stare up at the moon. "I could go..." She whispered to the moon her voice holding a note of awe. "I could go and never come back." She whispered again. A smile started to form on her face. Then her thoughts turned to leaving Haru. "I couldn't leave him. "She hung her head.

She sighed and sat on the window sill. Diana who was usually with her had been sent to her own mother for a "talk" thus leaving Lady alone. It would take her mother another half an hour to get to Lady, the queen always made the princess wait. She wondered for a moment what her mother would think if the younger woman wasn't there when she came. A sly smile crawled over her features. "I think it's time to repay the favor, Haru." She said her smile still in place.

Endymion resisted the urge to lash out when Haru turned his back on him.

"It may seem like a boring party to you. Yes even I can admit at times that they can be but that is not the point. Everything your Mother and I do are in you and your sister's best interests, to prepare you." Endymion softened his voice. He was sure that Haru was just as tired of the lectures as he was. "There is nothing wrong with being a normal kid. Haru, you are very smart you are capable of accomplishing so much. We want nothing more than for you to have that kind of life...a luxury that many of us did not have. I hope someday you will see that. Good night Haru."

Endymion turned and left Haru's room. It was late and a majority of the staff have retired for the evening. He passed by Lady's room and saw light coming from under the door. He almost knocked on her door but stopped. She had probably gotten an earful from her Mother and probably did not want her father adding to it. Endymion continued on wondering where he was going wrong.

"Prepare me for what? To be a prince forever?," Haru said to himself after his father left. He went back out on the balcony and gazed at the moon. He hate to admit it, but it did bother him that Lady gets to be the heir to the throne. He hated that he didn't matter because not only was he second born, but it was because he was male.

"I wish I could be important like my big sister," he whisper to himself.

It should be pointed out that Small Lady while Crown Princess and Future Queen was in fact first a Sailor Senshi. She smiled as she listened for Haru's door to open and close again signaling the depurate of their father from her brother's room and not waiting for their mother to show for her talking to, Lady with ease and grace of all her senshi training, shimmed over to her brother's balcony.

She arrived in time to hear the words of sorrow from her brother and she wanted to cry. He was important to her! She threw her hand up on the top most railing, followed by her other and with little sound popped up in her bother's face. "You're important to me. Damn what anyone else says." She said supporting herself on her hands, she swung her legs over the rail and sat next to her brother, facing the room. "Haru," She started unsure of where to go.

She was born to be queen yes, but that didn't mean she really wanted it. No Lady wanted to be an artist, or one of thousands of other things she never had the time to find out if she was any real good at. Unlike her brother from the moment she took her first breath everything had been planned for her. Her life set before her in near unmoving stone. Their Mother had told her from the start that she should be this way and act that way. She had to be this and that for that was the way of a proper lady. She listened as Luna talked about how to walk talk and speak in order to present the front of royalty. She had never told anyone but when Haru was born she hated him. Not for being born, no ever for that, in fact his birth was the happiest day of her young life, she would finally have someone else to play with, but for being born a boy. Oh she would never be able to say that she wished she had be a boy, and not have to go through the trials to be queen later in life. She would never say that she didn't really want to be queen, but it was what was expected of her.

"Let's run." she said and her eyes full of mischief glinted and glimmered in the moonlight. "We can go camping at that lake you promised to show me." She smiled. She wanted her brother to know that for her he was the most important person in all the worlds.

Haru was shocked to see his big sister standing beside him and couldn't believe she overheard him. He thought their mother would be talking to her right now. He smiled when she said he was important to her. It made him feel better for the most part. He still kind of felt unimportant in their family. Lady then suggested to run away from home and go camping.

"I don't know...," he spoke softly. Lady was already in enough trouble, but he like the idea of getting away from the palace for awhile. Also it didn't help his sister was giving him the puppy dog eye look. "Alright, let's go camping for a week then! We should leave tonight after everyone has gone asleep. I know how to get past the guards so it shouldn't be too hard to sneak out."

Lady scoffed. "Oh Little brother, it is time I teach you about the tunnels." She said and walked into his room. "I can believe you haven't found these yet." She said shocked as she walked to the fireplace that was in every royal bed room. She felt around the trim till she found the little button she was looking for. "AH-HA!" She said and pushed the button down. Silently a door that one would swear had been part of the wall a moment ago swung open.

Smiling at her brother, Lady shifted her weight and put her hands on her hips."How do you think I get around so fast?" She asked. "Now lets get some stuff together and get out of here, before Mom finds I'm not in my room." She said.

Haru stared wide eye at his sister. "How?...How? How did I ever not notice this!?" He was in enrage. This was something someone should have told him about! What if they were under attack? Knowing a secret passage when would be good to know! Haru blamed the peaceful era.

"Alright, let me gather my things then we can go to your room," he spoke and then quickly grabbed a bag from under his bed and started to fill it up with everything he needed for their trip. Once he got everything he waited to follow his sister down the passageway. He hoped their wasn't waiting for Lady in her bedroom.

Lady smiled at her brother's wide eyes. "Yeah I know that feeling." She said smiled at the younger boy. "Come on, I'd like not to be caught by Mom." She said and lead him to her secret door. Lady stood on tip toes and checked the view of the room. There was a mirror, small on the wall that if you pushed the button would allow you to see the room and anyone in it, but not the other way around. Thank goodness that she had an area to change that wasn't in her room. "OK looks like Mom's not there." She darted into her room and grabbed her things for their trip. She thought for a moment then left a quick note.

"we're fine but we're going away for a while." the note said. "Dont worry we'll be back we just need a little time to be well us." She signed the note and grabbed her purse too, with her allowance for the last 2 years nearly untouched. What did she need to buy? Everything was provided so she had just saved the money. Better safe than sorry.

Slipping all this into a bigger bag, she slipped out the door and smiled. "I think the guards have tents near the stable we can take." She smiled as she lead the way to the exit. "We need to be quick." She said but her brother would know that.

The siblings returned to the passageway and Lady led them to an exit that led to the stables. They closed the hidden door behind them, once they got outside. The siblings quietly crept the stable and found the tents right beside it. Haru grabbed them and tied them up to the back of his horse. He then tied their belongings to the back of Lady's horse.

"Alright," he whisper to his sister. "We're ready to go." He then got up on his horse and led it out of the stable. He stopped and waited for his sister. As he waiting he looked up at the palace and wondered if their mother was looking for his sister. He looked back at his sister. "It's my turn to lead the way, chibi."

There was that nickname that only Haru could use and still walk away. She smiled as she remembered one of the boys that was always hanging around her at the parties, using it once. She had beat the crap out of the boy in the garden under the guise of getting to know each other better. No one called her that but Haru.

Lady swung herself into the saddle and followed her brother. "I hope this isn't going kill Mom." She said. "But it is fun." She said. Last time she had done something like this she had run away to the past to find Sailor Moon. At least this time she was staying in the same time period right?
