Fleeting Happiness
By SMYGO4EVA
Everyone has dreams; it's quite obvious, really. It's strange when dreams might never become reality, but there is a bright side to that occurrence. Sometimes they really are no lights to the tunnel and sometimes they are. Two girls know that for sure.
Haruka Tenou was full of youth and optimism, despite her rough life. Her dream was to become a professional racer, one who was famous and had eternal glory in the racing world. But oddly enough, love fell upon her. Beside her within destiny was a gifted young woman named Michiru Kaioh. She fell in love with the violinst instantly, but she never got the courage to tell her, because she never knew that Michiru had feelings for her also. Haruka didn't want to ruin anything special they had in their friendship, yet she only knew she was hurting herself in the process.
Minako Aino wanted to feel love again. Not just because of her fate as a senshi of Venus, but she wanted the goodness of the world back. Everywhere she went, she was able to see what people's true feelings were, even if they would never tell. She wanted to feel someone hold her in their arms, to be free of affection's hidden cruelty and of what society had distorted of love. She saw only the darkness, not the light, but the bloodline of madness baring the fate of one single life. Once her eyes were open and her curse was sealed, she never closed them again.
Both girls had wished for eternal youth and love based on circumstance, upom what fate had saved for them. Nonetheless, if they were both granted one wish, they would wish for their loved ones to have the happiest of lives, because they both have fallen from whence they came. Love transcended through them and devoured them so, from light to darkness, only for fleeting happiness to hide forevermore.
