Spying on Fish-eye

Summary: Tigers-eye and Hawks-eye both have doubts about their partner's gender and (unknown to each other) decide to peek on Fish-eye taking a shower. Just to make sure.

'Just a quick look to make sure...' Tigers-eye sneaked closer to the door of the shower room. It was ridiculous, really, but after seeing Fish-eye in that make-up he had some doubts if their partner really was a guy. Fish looked too much like a pretty girl – even to the point that Tigers-eye had been attracted to him for a moment. Just a tiny moment.

Meanwhile, Hawks-eye carefully looked around the corner, with much the same intentions but unaware of Tigers-eye. That was, until they saw each other.

"Now what's this? Have you started playing peeping Tom, Tigers-eye?" Hawks-eye asked with haughty air.

Tigers-eye froze, blushing furiously, but retaliated quickly. "And what are you doing here, then?"

"Eh? I just..." Hawks-eye looked away, a hint of red on his face too. "You know, I was just wondering if Fish really is a guy..."

"What? You too?!" For once Tigers-eye decided to stop their constant bickering, since they were both after the same thing. "We'll know soon enough." Quietly he opened the door just enough to see inside, but it was difficult to make out the person in the shower with all the water and foam. And even more difficult when Hawks-eye pushed him aside. "Hey! I can't see anything!" he complained in whisper.

"Be quiet. Fish will notice us."

"Then move!" Tigers-eye now pushed Hawks-eye aside, and quickly their attempt at cooperation had turned into a war of pushing and hushed whispers, both trying to get the other out of the way to see something.

"Who's there?!" Fish-eye suddenly yelled, thinking he heard faint voices over the sound of running water, and threw the soap he had been holding towards the partially open door. When there was no answer, he quickly wrapped a towel around himself and walked to the door. But there was nobody in the corridor, only his soap lying on the floor. "Huh? Must have been my imagination." Shrugging, he picked up the soap and went back to shower. And made sure to close the door this time.

Tigers-eye sighed in relief when Fish-eye didn't notice the two now hiding behind the corner. "Are you okay?" he asked his partner when the shower room door closed. Hawks-eye had saved him from Fish-eye's thrown attack – unintentionally by pushing him out of the way to see better himself, but still – and gotten the soap right to his face.

"I'm fine!" Hawks-eye snapped back, "More importantly, did you see anything?"

"Yeah, I did. He's a guy, just like us." Then he blushed again. For a moment there, he had actually been attracted to a guy. Even if it had been a really pretty guy with make-up. Tigers-eye was too embarrassed himself to even notice Hawks-eye was blushing, too.

Is there someone you like?

Summary: Chibiusa asks Pegasus if there's someone he likes.

"Hey, Pegasus...Is there someone you like?" Chibiusa asked, resting her chin on her hands.

There was a tiny moment of silence before the winged horse in the transparent ball answered. "I like you very much."

Chibiusa giggled. "Oh no, I mean like someone you'd want to marry! Like Usagi and Mamo-chan want to marry each other..." She had wanted to marry Mamo-chan at first, too, but had then come to a realization that if it wasn't Usagi that married him, she would never be born.

"That is..." Pegasus blushed slightly and looked away.

"Huh? Was it a bad question? It's okay if you don't want to answer."

"Never mind..." Pegasus looked back at her with gentle eyes. "I will tell you later. I promise."

The world beyond the mirror

Summary: Nehelenia awaits the solar eclipse in her prison inside the mirror.

It was dark and quiet, like it always was in the domain of Nehelenia, the queen of the new moon. The queen herself walked the endless corridors alone, like she always did. Ever since the people of the white moon had sealed her here, she had been alone. No, even before that. After all, she was completely beyond the common people with her everlasting beauty.

But dark and quiet was how she liked things to be. Except for one thing, she could have been completely happy in her small world. And that one thing was the fact that those who had sealed her away were living happily in that blue planet called Earth, basking in the light of the sun and the moon.

Soon. Soon the planets would align, resulting in the sun being hidden away for a short while, and in that darkness her servants could slip to Elysion. Golden crystal would finally be hers and the earth would be covered in darkness and silence. And then...

And then she would be the ruler of everything.
