"Now that Usagi is gone, my life is no longer worth living." Mamoru said. Usagi noticed that she was siting in a bushy area, and Mamoru was standing on the edge of a cliff, a few yards away from where she was sitting.She called his name. "Mamo-chan!" She shouted. He didn't seem to hear her. Usagi screamed as Mamoru jumped off the edge of the cliff.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Mamo-chan!!!I'm still here!!! I'm not gone, I never left!!!" Usagi tried to get up and jump over after him, but found she couldn't move any prt of her body except for her head."MAMO-CHAN!!!" Usagi screamed again. She started to cry and whimper softly. She was so shocked at what had just happened that she couldn't even bawl like she usually did.
A few minutes later, Usagi saw Ami, Rei, Makato, Chibi-usa, and Minako walk to the edge and look over. "The prince is dead." Ami said. Usagi's heart felt like somebody had just ripped it out and stepped on it. "Not my Mamo-chan. Not my love." She said almost inaudibly. She wanted to die now that Mamoru was dead. She decided it would be best, even after what had just happened, to just listen and find out what else was going on. Usagi noticed they were in their Senshi outfits.
"We have failed the prince." Ami said. "We have failed the princess." Rei said. "We have failed both of them." Makato said. Usagi looked down and realized she was in her princess state, not her senshi outfit or regular clothing. "We are not worthy to be called sailor senshi, nor even protecters for that matter. We are cowards. We did not protect the princess when she needed us." Rei said.
Then Rei jumped off the edge of the cliff. A tear rolled down Ami's cheek and then she jumped. Makato said nothing and just jumped. Minako then fell to her knees and looked up and yelled, " Why did it have to be like this? Why couldn't we've been there when Princess Serenity needed us most?" Minako stopped yelling and looked down at the ground. "It's all our fault. We were the protecters for the princess. If only we'd been there when she needed us, She and the prince wouldn't be...dead." Minako said. She got up off her knees, and wiped the tears from her cheeks. Then she jumped.Chibi-usa just said,"Mommy.Why?" Then even Chibi-usa jumped. "Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!" Usagi screamed. "I'm still here, you didn't fail me!!!Don't die!!!Please, DON'T DIE!!!!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi sat up in her bed with a jolt, screaming at the top of her lungs. "Whoa, Usagi, are you alright?" Her mother said as she came running into her room to find out what was going on. It was 3:00 AM in the morning. Shingo was at a friends house spending the night, and her dad was still asleep, sleeping through anything that came his way that night. Chibi-Usa also slept through the screams, sleeping in Shingo's room that night. Usagi was continued to scream until her mother put her hand on her shoulder and sat down next to her. She cradled Usagi in her arms. "It's alright Usa-chan, it was just a bad dream. Everything's going to be OK, don't worry. I'll always be here for you." Usagi's mom said.Usagi started to cry, and sunk her head against her mothers chest.
"Oh mom, it was so real!!! It can't be just a dream. It can't be!!!" She managed through her tears.She continued to sob as she said, "Oh mom, I'm scared!!! For my friends and for myself!!! They are in danger, I just know they are!!!"
"It's OK Usa-chan, nothing is going to happen to you or your friends, nothing." Her mother said and then stood up. "Look, why don't you try to go back to sleep? You need your rest. If you can't sleep you can come and quietly watch some T.V."
"Thanks mom." Usagi said as she wiped tears from her eyes. "You're right. I should probably try and get some sleep. Goodnight, mom."
"Goodnight, Usa-chan. If you need anything at all, just come and wake me up." Her mom replied.
"I will mom, I will." Usagi said. Usagi didn't want to go back to sleep, in fear of having the nightmare again. Finally, at about 6:15 AM she dozed off.
*15 Minutes Later*
"Hey, lazy-chan, wake up!" Chibi-usa said standing next to Usagi's bed. She was holding a bucket of cold water above Usagi's head. Usagi, feeling tired but sad, got up out of bed. "Huh?" Chibi-usa looked at her funny. " You actually got out of bed the first time you were asked? Something's wrong, isn't there?"
"Yes, there is something wrong you BAKA!!! And you don't have to be so rude!I do get up out of bed the first time I'm asked!" Chibi-usa laughed at the last remark.Usagi started to cry,and Chibi-usa stuck her tounge out at her.
Her mother walked in. "Chibi-usa, leave Usagi alone. And put that water down! Usagi had a really bad nightmare last night, and isn't feeling good because it really scared her. So, for today, I want you to leave Usagi alone, OK?" She said.Chibi-usa nodded. Then her mother left the room.
"Well, anyhow, don't forget today is Saturday, and there is a Sailor Senshi meeting later." Chibi-usa said.Then she turned and left.
*2 Hours Later*
"So, Luna, what do you think it means?" Usagi asked after she told Luna about her dream.
"Well, it might mean nothing. It could have just been a nightmare." Luna answered.
"No, it was too real to just be a dream. It has to mean something. I've never had a dream that envolved the Senshi like this. I mean, they said they had failed me and Mamoru and then killed themselves because of that in my dream." Usagi said. Then she changed and headed to Rei's temple for the meeting.
As she neared the temple, she heard footsteps behind her. She stopped and turned around. Nothing there. She turned back around and continued to walk. She heard the footsteps behind her again, this time louder, closer. She turned around again. Nothing there. She turned around again. and this time quickened her pace. So did the other footsteps. She slowed down, but the footsteps behind her just became louder and then quickened it's pace even more, until the footsteps were right behind her, and stopped right behind her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usagi grabbed her locket, ready to fight if need be. She didn't turn around but asked, "Who's there?" No reply. "I said, who's there?" Usagi asked again, and was about to get angry when she heard a chuckle from behind her. Suddenly, the person behind her put their hands over her eyes. "Guess who." Said the person. She was relieved it wasn't an enemy, but was little angry that they had sneaked up on her like that.
"Alright, enough games.Who's there?" Usagi said. "If it was Rei, ooooooooh!!!She would get Rei for scaring her like that." she thought to herself.
"Come on, guess! I won't tell you unless you take a guess, so at least try and you'll find out." The voice said. It was a playful voice, a soothing voice, a loving voice. The persons hands were big, warm, and protective.Usagi took a guess from this information.
"Mamo-chan, is that you?" Usagi asked and the hands came off. She turned around to see Mamoru, and she hugged him tighly, even after scaring her, that dream had been so real, and it felt good to see him alive, even if he was never really dead.
"Well, I'm happy to see you too, Odango Atama." He smiled, and then bent down and kissed her on the cheek. "So, were where you headed?" Mamoru asked.
"Well, I was headed to Rei's for the meeting today." Usagi said.
He frowned and raised an eyebrow. But then he smiled and laughed. "A meeting this early? I was pretty surprised to see you up this early on a weekend. That's why I decided to play around with you, because I don't see you this early often.But a meeting this early?"
She looked at him puzzeled. "Early?" She thought. "What time was it anyways?"
Mamoru realized that she didn't know. "It's about 8:15 AM and the meetings usually aren't until afternoon." He explained. She was a little amazed at the time herself. He looked at her for a moment, and realized that something was bothering her. "Usako, what is bothering you?"
She sighed. "Why don't we go to the park and I'll explain there?" So they headed to the park. She found a bench under a tree and sat down. He sat down next to her.
*One Hour Later*
"Usako, I don't know what to think. It could be a test like when I had those dreams that told me to stay away from you. Your dream could be a test from the future. Or, it could be just a weird nightmare." Mamoru said after Usagi told him about her nightmare.
"Well, I think you should contact Rei and let her and the other Senshi know about your dream. Maybe they can help you more then I can." Mamoru suggested."Anyway, I have to go. See you later, my Odango Atama!" He bent down, gave her a hug, kissed her on the lips softly, and then walked off.
She pulled out her communicater. She told Rei and the others she needed the meeting to start early. Then she stood up and started towards the temple. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
