Happy. That's how I was supposed to feel, right? Rei Hino would never shed a single tear for a man. Never. At least that's how it was meant to be. I could fake my happiness in front of everyone else but I could never lie to myself. Rei Hino – Sailor Mars – Protector of Princess Serenity – loyal and trusted friend of Usagi Tsukino and the Sailor Scouts. That was me, fitting perfectly into a role I never wished to have. Who was going to protect me, though? I was used to be disappointed but fate had a cruel twist in my love life. Mother died. Daddy left me. He betrayed me. Yet I was still expected to be happy.

Mamoru, why did you have to do this to me?

Why did you have to leave me too?

Why?

Did I mean nothing to you at all?

I – I – I thought…we were perfect for each other. Hand in hand we could conquer the world. But it was her hand you wanted to hold. You never wanted me. I could see it in your eyes you wanted her instead of me.

You were full of broken promises

You never even said goodbye

You moved on and left me to die – die in my own misery. Misery which you created.

Did you really think I would move on as quickly as that? Did you actually expect me to be happy for you? You stole my heart and then took away my best friend. Why did you have to love her? My. Best. Friend. Mamoru, my best friend!

How ironic I'm wearing a bridesmaid dress at your wedding when I should've been the bride. It should've been me. It should have been me…

"SAY CHEESE, SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS REI!" Are you serious?

Rip my heart out, but don't make me pretend I'm happy for you because I'm not. I hate you. I hate her. You both left me for each other.

"Rei stop picking on Usagi"
"Rei, that was mean…you know how upset Usagi gets"
"Rei, she's our princess you should know your duty!"

Was it my duty to have a broken heart? Was it my duty to feel empty inside with no one to rely on? Or my duty to be thrown away like dirt from the bottom of your shoe? Couldn't we have given us another shot? Made things work out? It was always her, wasn't it? My love was always in vain. You could never love me. I just wish I realised that sooner instead of deceiving myself.

There was no real point in pretending 'cuz in the end you chose her. You would always choose her.
