Sitting on the bridge railing was a pretty young girl called Serena.
Her long blond hair cascaded from two buns on the sides of her head
in a unique hairstyle. Her eyes were sad as they gazed out over the river .
Her cheeks were wet with all the tears she had shed, but she'd stopped crying
long ago. Eventually she began to sing

*~* Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken?
Don't I make you laugh? Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me? *~*

In her mind she could here him say it again. ['I think we should break up.']
She could see the cold look his face got whenever he saw her.

*~* I live, I breathe, I let it rain on me.
I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break.
I crave, I love, I waited long enough.
I try as hard as I can. *~*

She could hear herself asking him, begging him
['Whatever I've done wrong, I'm sorry. Please forgive me, don't leave me.']
She still didn't know why he hated her all of a sudden.

*~* Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart too broken?
Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken?
Don't I make you laugh? Should I try it harder?
Why do you see right through me? *~*

They would meet after then, bump into each other wherever they went.
[Once I'd gotten my courage up and asked him 'Have you forgiven me yet?'
I must have seemed pathetic to him, A lovelorn meatball-headed klutz with no brains.]

*~* I laugh, I feel, I make believe it's real.
I fall, I freeze, I try down on my knees.
I hope, I stand, I take it like a man.
I've tried as hard as I can. *~*

She stopped singing and looked out over the water.
[He won't miss me, he no longer loves me. He will protect Rini when I'm gone
and the Sailor Scouts could easily defeat the enemy without me klutzing up their
attacks. The world will be better off without me in it.] She looked up at the half-moon,
never noticing the person limping quietly, slowly towards her.
[Goodbye.] she stood up on the bridge railing and took one last sad look at the moon,
Then she jumped off the bridge.

The Stranger behind her reached the railing and gestured over the water.
Serena stopped falling so fast and started floating. She had closed her eyes
when she'd jumped. So she didn't see the pale-green and yellow portal that opened
up underneath her. Neither did she notice when she floated through it.
Closing the portal the stranger looked up as if to look at the stars, yet her opaque
blue eyes saw nothing.
"You deserve better princess, and better you shall get." The Stranger said softly, determinedly.
