In their worst nightmares, the other senshi dream of D-Point. They remember losing their second chances as history repeated itself. In others, they relive the fall of the Silver Millennium. Forced to watch Serenity fall, their queendom crumbling around them, from unblemished stone to bloody, bloody dust.
Ami's no different; she remembers D-Point and the siege on the moon just as the rest do. There's no denying that those dreams earn the label of 'nightmare.' But Ami's analytical brain will not allow her to call them her worst nightmares.
No, Ami's worst nightmares are of a week that started friendless, but ended with a friend. Of a day she began as Mizuno Ami, but ended as Sailor Mercury.
Her worst nightmares have her locked in a prison of her own mind as Usagi screams. Her worst nightmares have her staring sightlessly at Sailor Moon as she's pummeled without mercy. They have her doing nothing outwardly as the youma levels its killing blow; have her inwardly throwing herself against a wall of ice that keeps her from acting; have her too weak to awaken when she's needed.
In her nightmares, the ice finally shatters… but too late. Sailor Moon falls.
Ami's worst nightmare is of the day she became Sailor Mercury.
And the day that she almost wasn't Sailor Mercury quickly enough.
