NOTICE: I do not own Sailor Moon. She belongs to Naoko Takeuchi. I'm just a fan, and this is my original fan-fiction story. Please read, review, and enjoy!

Setting: Takes place about six months after Galaxia's defeat.

"Usagi, you look beautiful!" said Ami.

"Thanks, Ami. Thanks to all of you for helping with the wedding," said the bride as she looked out of her frills and lace. "You guys all look all look beautiful in your rose bridal maid gowns, too. Say, where are Haruka and Michiru?"

"Oh, I think Michiru went to get Haruka. I...oh, where they are!" said Rei.

Michiru and Haruka entered, both wearing rose colored dresses.

"See Haruka, I told you that you would look alright in a dress!" said Usagi.

"Thanks; hey...are you okay, you look a bit pale," said Haruka.

"I'm, I'm just a bit nervous I guess. It is one of the biggest days of my life...well, this one anyways. Do you mind if I have a few minutes alone?"

"Of course! Come on everyone, let's give the bride some space to breathe! Remember Usagi, the wedding begins in fifteen minutes. I'll come back in ten," said Minako ushering the group out of the tiny dressing room. They exited out quickly, and Minako was kind enough to shut the door behind her.

Usagi sat down at the vanity. This was suppose to be one of the happiest days of her life, so why didn't she feel that way!? The truth was, ever since she'd started making wedding plans, she'd felt an uneasiness over her; but that was just a normal feeling when it came to getting married, right? She sighed, and felt tears coming to her eyes. She got up and opened the curtains of the only window the room had. It was a beautiful sunny day, the perfect day for a wedding.

She felt something inside of her snap. Maybe it was the pressure of the whole "destiny" thing. Maybe it was the thought of not being able to have a normal life. Whatever it was, it caused her to think "I can't go through with this. I can't do this!"

She ran over to the door and locked it. She took off her bridal veil and tiara; the rest of the outfit came off, then she slipped into the white shirt, pink skirt, and white flats. She grabbed her purse and opened the window. She looked back at the clock. Five minutes until Minako would come back. "I can't do this, at least not now" she thought. She made a fashionable exit out the large window, and found herself on the edge of the parking lot of the chapel. She looked around, but saw no one. She began to run. Before long, the wedding chapel was only a fuzzy object in the background.

Finally, Usagi stopped. She had made it to one of her old familiar haunts - the park. She sat down on one of the benches to catch her breathe. She couldn't remember the last time she had run so hard. She felt her heart pounding out of her chest, and more tears coming to her eyes.

"Coward!" she hissed to herself. "Why didn't you just tell him you couldn't go through with the wedding!? You've probably got everyone in an awful panic! Why didn't you just go through with it!? It's your duty!"

The tears came faster now. She didn't want this perfectly planned destiny anymore!

Then, Usagi heard a familiar voice she never thought she'd hear again.

"Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon, what's wrong?"
