Author's note: Sailor Moon's reboot is coming out this year! FINALLY! I can't wait! Though nothing will beat what I grew up with, I'm still going to watch with an open mind. Sailor Moon is definitely one of those shows that is one of a kind but can still be told in many ways.
This is a little piece that takes place during Sailor Moon R (season 2) of the Makaiju Arc, which is known as the Doom Tree arc in the US.

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you, that look in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
And I know it's true that visions are seldom what they seem
But if I know you, I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream
Have you ever met someone for the first time, but know deep down you met them before? I have the strangest encounters with a neighborhood girl with the pigtails (I call her Odango head) that looks so familiar to me yet I can't explain it. The way my heart races & my breath catches in my throat when I see her on the street, you'd think I was in love with her but she's…a KID! Well not exactly a kid, about 14 or so but me being 18, she's significantly younger than me.
At first she was annoying & acted childish, forever whining about her grades or how her mother was hounding her over school work but after a while, I saw past that & noticed how beautiful she was. A lithe figure (despite all the junk she eats!), thick bouncy hair that curled around her face & accentuated her tiny, pink lips. Soon after these feeling arose, I got a strange urge to protect her…but from what? Then after a few months, she began carrying herself differently, with more maturity & it seemed like her playful exterior was a mask for something. I never could put my finger on it but even that seems like a distant memory I can't recall.
Now she acts like we were a couple & tries to get us back together but we weren't a couple…were we? She only gets this way when she sees me with Anne but we aren't even a couple. She's just a kid with a crush on me too…an extreme one. Sometimes when I think about it too much, I get a headache but I feel like part of me is missing. I was told as a child that random headaches are common after experiencing vehicular trauma but this only happens when I think of this girl & red roses.
Wait…red roses…Odango…her…I did meet her once before! When I was in the hospital, a little happy girl came in the room holding a bouquet of red roses for her mother & gave me one because I was upset. I had just lost my parents in the wreck & the only friend I had was leaving….that all happened 10 years ago.
Could that little girl & this one be the same person? The possibility is slim but weirder instances have occurred in this world. IT would make perfect sense, except that lately I've been waking up with WHITE roses in my bed…
But if I know you, I know what you do
You'll love me at once
The way you did once upon a dream

Ok, I'm glad I got that out! It's been a long time since I wrote something from Mamoru's point of view! This little snippet came to me Tuesday night during my shift & I had time between patients that night so, I was scribbling between call lights. LOL
Anyway, since the Moonlight Knight was only in the Anime, I got the urge to write a little something about him. That 5 minute explanation was ok but didn't say too much. I believe that behind the scenes, Mamoru still had the feelings of being a protector & loving Usagi, even though his memories already formed Moonlight Knight. I wish he more than just a 12 episode appearance! Maybe I'll continue this with that thought in mind? ;)
