Author's Notes: This is a question that has come up in my mind quite a number of times. Are Usagi and Mamoru in love because they really do love each other now, or because of what they experienced as Serenity and Endymion? The point of view in the story can be either one of the characters; I'm known for writing no-name stories like this. Anyway, enjoy!

Were We Ever In Love?

By: Jade Daniels

We were ever in love?

It's a question that comes up often in my mind. You wouldn't think it, if you looked at us. Many people say that we look like we're very much in love. I wish that I could say that it was true for me. But the question of our past comes up a lot. When we were Serenity and Endymion. Are we in love because of they were, or because we are?

It doesn't make much sense, does it?

It is said that connected souls always find a way back to one another. We were reincarnations of two people who were very much in love. Does that mean that we would have been doomed to failure with anyone else? If I had decided to date anyone else, would that relationship have ever worked? I guess now I'll never know.

It doesn't mean that I don't love you.

I'm sure that I do. But, I must ask myself. Is this my love, or the one of my past? Is this my soul, my heart that's speaking? Or are the cosmos just programming this feeling into me - in a strange way, giving Endymion and Serenity another chance? Sometimes, I wish that I had never discovered my past. At least then, I would truly know myself. Everyone says that I act differently from how I did in the past, but that does not mean that I'm not that person.

Our future.

Chibusa. Our daughter. Her presence is supposed to guarantee a happy ending for us. We become King and Queen of Crystal Tokyo. She will become the Princess, and the next Sailormoon. I should be happy, but I can't be. I don't know if I like that my future is so tied up like that. A perfect package so to speak. Pluto would probably tell me that the future is still liquid, and that nothing is certain. But that's not true is it? My daughter is here, and I have met her. I can't kill her just because I'm not certain of my love. Sometimes I wonder if my future self sent Chibusa here to remind me of what will be lost if I don't stay.

If I don't stay.

We've been apart before. Yet, every time, we've managed to come back together. Is it fate again, or do we truly love one another enough that we can remain? Do the spirits of Serenity and Endymion push us together like this? Again, that brings up the past. Why must my mind think about that so often? It's not like I don't want to be happy....... All these doubts, I wish that I didn't have them. I want to be in love, but because I am, not because of my past self.

Were we ever in love?

It's a question I must often ask myself. But I often answer myself........

I think that we were.

I know that we are.
