Usagi jolted out of her bed, sweating and panting, fear in her eyes. When she realized that it was only a dream, she calmed down."Usako? Why are you awake?" A concerned voice next to her asked. She turned around and saw Mamoru slowly get up, rubbing his eyes.

"Go back to sleep Mamo-chan, it's just a dream." She soothed, assuring him with a smile. Mamoru gave her a worried look before going back to sleep. When she was sure that he was asleep, she quickly and quietly slipped out of bed. She went to the kitchen for a glass of water, and sat down on the couch.

It has been three months since the battle between Chaos ended. Just when Usagi thought that she wouldn't have to fight youma anymore, the nightmares came. It has been two months since the nightmares of her loved ones plagued her, and it has been wearing her out. But she was careful to hide her lack of energy, for she knew how overprotective Mamoru and her friends became when something happens to her.

Her dreams were constantly about the Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Mask dying, getting hurt, or hating her. But tonight, it was different. This time, everything was dark, and all she could hear was a voice. It made her recall of the painful memories that she wished to forget. But what scared her the most, was the voice's last words before she woke up.

"Say your good-byes if you have the time my little Moon Princess, for everything will change, and all will end for you." It rasped. Shuddering at recalling it's words, Usagi tried to figure out it's words. I'll just ignore it. It's just a dream after all...

Mamoru walked down the streets, holding hands with the one he truly loved. His eyes were glazed, hypnotized by the monster, who had the form of an innocent girl with dark green hair, and black eyes. Why did I ever love Usagi when Chizuko was here all along? I'm such a fool. He thought.

"Mamo-chan," she called out in a sweet voice. "When will you cut off all ties with Usagi-chan? I don't want to make her feel sad or hurt her, but I think it would be better for her if you broke up with her instead of her finding us together." She reasoned, powering her persuasion with hypnotism. Mamoru's eyes glzed once more.

"I'll cut off ties with her today. Then we can be together with nothing in our way." He replied, giving her the answer that she wanted to hear. She gave him a bright smile.

"Alright Mamo-chan."

The Sailor Senshi always knew that Usagi could never be a true leader. She was stupid, clumsy, irresponsible, and a crybaby. How could she rule Crystal Tokyo with traits like that? They only accepted her because she was their friend, and she was the Moon Princess. But recently, their dreams helped them realize that Usagi was nothing but a hindrance. All she did was the finishing move, while the rest weakened the monster. They were the ones doing all the work. The four met up and made a decision: They would kick Usagi out, and find a new Sailor Moon.

Usagi went to the arcade after a long and tiring day of school. She was late to school again, and her teacher decided to give her detention for a week, starting from tomorrow. But when she walked in, her mood lifted up when she saw Mamoru at his usual seat at the counter. Usagi skipped over and sat in the seat next to him, but frowned when she saw the girl next to Mamoru.

"Mamo-chan, you won't believe what happened today. Th-" She was cut off by Mamoru.

"Usagi, we need to talk."

"No, listen to me first, the stupid teacher-"

"Usagi, let's break up." Mamoru announced, dropping the bomb.

She stared at him in shock, "What?" She shook her head. "Mamo-chan, is it the dreams? You know that you should ignore them. Let's not do this again. You said that you wouldn't leave me." She said.

"Then I take it back. I thought I loved you, but realized that the fact that we were destined to be with each other influenced me. Even if I did really fell for you, it would only have been because you were the closest to me. Now that I have Chizuko, I don't need you anymore. Besides, Chizuko shows me a better future. And I hate to break it to you, but you were always a hindrance. Good-bye Usagi, I hope you move on." He explained.

"Then, I hope you and Chizuko have a happy life together." Usagi whispered. Mamoru only turned around and left, linking his arm with the girl, who gave a triumphant smile to Usagi.

The youma charged hunched it's back, preparing for Sailor Venus's blow, but was caught by surprise when two attacks smashed against its sides at once. The monster wobbled, fazed by the unexpected assault.

"Sailor Moon, now!" Sailor Mars ordered. But Sailor Moon was distracted, and once again missed the opportunity to defeat the youma. As it came out of it's paralysis, it screamed in protest, and sliced at its nearest target, hitting Sailor Mercury.

"Sailor Moon! Why didn't you attack!" Sailor Mars shouted. The youma was strong, and the fact that their leader had her attention elsewhere didn't help. Sailor Venus and Jupiter created another distraction, allowing Sailor Moon to attack.

"Silver Moon Kiss!" Sailor Moon attacked, and the youma disappeared. The girls quickly de-transformed and ran to their injured friend. Ami was breathing heavily from the loss of blood. Usagi willed the Silver Crystal to heal her friend, and it responded. It glowed, and bathed Ami's arm in a white light. When the light faded, it revealed a completely healed arm. "I did it!" Usagi exclaimed. She looked at her friends, but was confused whenthe four Senshi surrounded Usagi. What is going on?

"Usagi, that was really stupid of you today. Ami was hurt because of you. What are you thinking so deeply about?" Makoto asked.

"Mamoru broke up with me, and I was just wondering why." She replied. Rei frowned.

"Usagi, if you're going to let your relationship problems distract you form saving the world, we're going to have to kick you out." Minako said.

"Actually, she should leave right now. Her leadership sucks, anyone can do better than her." Rei stuck out her hand. "Give us the broach."

"Rei? Why are you saying that? I'm the Moon Princess, you can't take it away from me." Usagi protested.

"Oh please. If it's being you, anyone can do it. Hand over the broach now." Rei demanded.

"Guys…?" Usagi looked around, but saw the same cold look that Rei had in everyone's eyes.

Usagi stared in shock and disbelief at her friends. She was the one that friended them when they were misfits, and they repay her like this? "C'mon, we don't have all day you know?" Rei impatiently tapped her foot. Quietly and calmly, Usagi took of her broach and handed it to Rei. She felt disgust when she Rei's eyes glint with pleasure. Then, felt pain when Rei smirked and said, "You may leave now Usagi." She turned around, and left, the others behind her.

Slowly, Usagi walked the opposite direction of her house, Mamoru's house, and the direction her friends left at. Her walk quickened to a jog, and sprinted into a run. Her tears streaming down her face, she ran away from the source of her pain. Why? Why did they leave? What did I do? She continued to run until she reached a small alley in a secluded neighborhood. Usagi leaned against the wall, closing and opening her hands into fists, sobbing quietly.

"Well, if it isn't our Moon Princess." A voice chuckled. Usagi looked up, only to find nothing. She scanned the area, and didn't find anyone. "I'm right here dear," it whispered into her ear. Usagi turned around and saw a hooded face emerging from the wall. "Would you like to tell me why a young lady like you will be here, crying?"

"Why would I tell you?" Usagi choked out.

"I guess that makes sense. But, it's alright, I already know what happened. I did tell you to say your good-byes today didn't I?"

Usagi's eyes widened. This was the person that was causing her to have the nightmares for the past two months.

"You're the one in my dreams…"

"Ah-you finally noticed. Then I guess I do not need to introduce myself. Now that we know each other, would you like to tell me the reason for your sadness?"

"My boyfriend dumped me, and my friends betrayed me." She rasped. "And it hurts, so much over here." She sobbed, clutching her heart.

"Oh dear, today must have been a painful day for you," it sympathized. "Shall I help the pain go away? I know a way to get rid of it." It suggested.

"Yes, if you can…But how?" She asked. Wordlessly, the figure moved closer and pointed at her heart.

For a second, the pain of losing her loved ones disappeared, but another feeling returned. It felt as if something was squeezing her heart. Usagi choked as she suffocated from the unseen force. "What…did you do to me?" She gasped. Usagi saw red glinting eyes.

"I'm just trying to help you." And with that said, it raised its hands, and black energy shot out of its fingers.

The energy immediately targeted Usagi and tied her up, keeping her paralyzed. The hooded figure looked at Usagi before talking. "Let us proceed." Dark purple spheres floated out from its hands once again. The evil energy snaked its way towards the paralyzed girl. It covered Usagi with the evil, and started to dissolve into her.

Usagi felt a pain that she never felt before. Her whole body was burning, and it felt as if her limbs were being torn apart. She dragged out an agonizing breath. But her pain worsened as another layer of energy wrapped her up like yarn. The dark energy was forcing her to remember every single one of her painful memories, regrets, and doubts. Usagi desperately tried to hold in her scream, but let it out as the energy forced its way into Usagi's mind and body.
