A/N: Welcome to the new chapter of The Speech Dilemma! I'm glad to hear that you guys like it! Seeing the positive feedback was so great, that I decided to make the story a grand total of five parts instead. I'm sorry if I don't include enough of the other guardians and such. I'm really trying to make everyone weave into the story but the main character will be Minako, if somehow you forgot to read the description. So obviously all the thoughts will be hers and everything will be in her point of view. Kind of made Venus a little bit of a bad*** warrior in this, that's what I imagined since she's the leader and such. Also decided to dabble in some SilMil writing so here's hoping you guys like my little experimentation. Tell me in the reviews, would love to hear your thoughts about it! :)
P.S. Minor pushing of the K+ rating but I don't think I need to change the rating. You'll know what I mean when you get to the part.
The Dilemma
"Minako-chan, what exactly do you need help with again?"
"Well, I just need you to help me write the intro for my maid-of-honor speech…."
"Oh okay-"
"And the middle and the end," Minako finished. "Can you just actually give the speech as well?"
The blue-haired woman placed a hand on her forehead, massaging the small headache that was forming. "Minako, what's wrong? Why can't you write the speech?"
A nervous but loud laugh soon exploded from the sweating blonde sitting across from her. "No-no reason Ami-chan! You know me, I'm not good with my words. Remember that creative writing class we took. Guess I should have payed more attention, huh?"
"Minako, what's wrong?"
"Nothing! I'm just nervous for this speech!"
The intelligent doctor didn't buy the exclamation one bit. "Minako, really? Why are you acting so unusual recently?"
"Ami, Ami, Ami. I'm Minako Aino, I'm unusual all the time."
"No Minako, no joke," Ami stated seriously, "What's wrong?"
The blonde's expression sobered slowly as she saw the concern in her friend's deep blue water eyes. "I'm just stressed over everything. The wedding in three days, Usagi's bachelorette party, the rehearsal dinner, this last minute bridesmaid dress fitting, and then the speech. I'm just nervous that I'll ruin it all Ami-chan."
The serious look of the water guardian softened into understanding and comfort. "It's okay Minako-chan. We're all stressed and are striving to make this the wedding of Usagi's dreams. Just don't worry about it so much. As one wise friend of mine once said 'You'll get wrinkles and grey hair if you stress out about things in life too much.'"
The blonde smiled in pride as that quote was one of hers. "Well you have a very wise friend Ami-chan, really should introduce me to her."
"Of course," Ami laughed, reaching into her expensive handbag for her wallet. "Come on, it's getting late. Lunch is on me today."
"I would hope so," Minako said, "A small-time fashion designer's salary isn't as luxurious as you may think doctor."
Both women stood up from their booth table at the lavish restaurant, composing themselves to leave.
"I'll see you at the dress shop in half an hour Minako-chan."
"I'll see ya there Ami-chan. Probably a few minutes late as usual though," Minako called out to the laughing blue-haired woman walking to her posh car. After watching her back out and leave, Minako finally breathed out a sigh of relief, making her way to her own car, a orange Toyota Prius.
Once she was inside, the blonde relaxed, glad that Ami had believed her on why she was acting so strange. 'And everyone thought that I was a horrible actor in the school's production of Willy Wonka,' she thought dryly.
Ever since yesterday, Minako had forced herself to stop all communication with Usagi and more specifically Mamoru. She had made a plan to fake food poisoning, or say that she was getting a kidney transplant, or maybe fake a heart attack. All these ideas were shot down when she remembered that her friend group included three highly skilled doctors.
'Not my finest moment,' she thought as her hands gripped the steering wheel.
All this started years ago, when her true memories came back once Usagi had been found as the Moon heir, the lost Princess. However, along with the memories, came feelings from her past self, Sailor Guardian Venus. Minako thought she was going crazy when her strong and threatening voice began to echo in her mind. The others said nothing of their past selves talking to them so she kept it to herself.
At times the voice would help her in battle, fighting, and her overall guardian duties, acting as a conscience. But there was one aspect that always remained constant with the conscience.
The hatred and bloodlust that Venus had against Endymion.
For better explanation, the hatred and bloodlust that Venus had against Mamoru. It didn't matter to her that he was a different person in a different lifetime. His face was the same, his disgusting love to Serenity was still the same, and that alone convinced the soldier that it was the same man that had taken her princess away.
And so Venus began to push these feelings onto Minako in the present, trying to convince her that he was her enemy, that he wasn't worthy of Usagi in anyway shape or form.
In the beginning, it was easy to ignore because the voice was distant and weak at the time, and so the blonde didn't share the same feelings as her past self, she treated the dark-haired man as a friend, brother, family like the other girls did.
She would joke with him, play innocent pranks on him, treat him like an old friend, nothing less. It wasn't always easy though.
As time went on, the voice became stronger and more nagging. It would show her flashbacks to Silver Millennium when her and Usagi's past selves would get into arguments over the princess's love affair, when Venus had caught the two and separated them...
When the love guardian had watched in horror from afar Serenity stab herself through with the Earth Prince's sword, killing herself and landing on his dead body, bloodied hand wrapped around his.
The last one never failed to make the blonde break down in a pool of tears, wishing she was dead herself. 'He did that. He was the reason why. Because he seduced our innocent princess into falling for him. She used that sword because he was more important to her than life itself. You failed her because you failed to protect her from him.'
And once more tears ran down her face as she let the memories flood into her brain.
"Venus, please I can explain what you saw!"
The death grip that the blonde warrior had on the royal's wrist never loosened as she entered the guest living quarters of the Earth palace the moon family had been invited too. The royal ball had every important monarch in attendance, such as Queen Serenity and her daughter. The hosts, the Earth King and his son had invited them so that a more healthier relationship could be formed between the feuding worlds.
Venus had been sent as Serenity's guard for the trip and had been excused by her princess at the ball to walk around the dancing hall while she got some fresh air. After a while, the guardian soldier began to search the grounds for her royal charge, not finding her on any of the balconies or nearby gardens.
She was about to assume that her princess had turned in for the night until she heard voices, or rather moans, coming from a vacant gardening house. Venus walked toward the noises until she saw a small staircase and sensed with her powers two people under it. Placing her hand on her holstered sword, readying for an attack, she eased over the corner to come upon the sight of her princess pressed up against a wall, golden legs wrapped around Prince Endymion's waist, his lips kissing down her neck, calloused hands stroking her bared legs.
Reaching the Moon Princess's sleeping chambers, Venus pulled Serenity to sit on the canopy bed in front of her.
"Explain."
Fidgeting with the material of her white dress, Serenity didn't dare to look her guard in the eye. "I was just-we got los-" And she fell silent, realizing that she couldn't think of a plausible reason for her actions.
Venus broke the silence. "Explain to me what I saw Serenity."
Silence.
"Explain to me why you lied."
A gulp was heard and Venus's voice raised with each sentence.
"Explain why you left the grounds."
The moon princess was now shaking slightly.
"Explain why I found you in that position with that boy's tongue down your throat Serenity!"
The dam broke within the royal, tears of shame running down her flushed face as the gold blonde in front of her fumed. "I-I…"
"Don't," the soldier threatened. "Do not defend him in anyway. How long has this been going on?"
Terrified of the cold tone in her friend's voice, Serenity answered timidly, "Ever s-since the peace ball."
"Almost a year?," disbelief laced in the planetary guardian's voice. A scared nod was her answer, Serenity continuing to look down at her feet.
"What have you done with him?"
Once more, the cold emotionless voice sent shivers down the Princess's spine. "N-nothing I swear. All we have done is innocently kiss."
"Do not lie to me. If you come to me and confess that you are with his child-"
"I swear to you Venus!"
"Then what would have happened if I hadn't found you two?! It would have stayed with just kissing?!"
"Yes-yes," Serenity answered, her eyes betraying her answer.
"I will kill him, watch him bleed," Venus stated more to herself then to Serenity.
"No! Please! Venus!" The soldier had began to walk toward the door, anger and murder evident in her blue eyes. "Please Venus! Don't! I love him!"
Her hand clenched the door handle, disgust and contempt running through her veins at the spoken words. "You what?"
"I-I love him, I love him Venus." She turned to see the sliver-haired seventeen-year-old princess kneeling on the ground, looking directly at her with pleading watering eyes.
"Nonsense. You do not even comprehend the meaning of that word Serenity. Do not use words that you are still unfamiliar with."
"But I know, I know he is the one. I will never feel like this with another person in my life Venus. It's love I feel it. I love him, I gave him everything."
The guardian of Venus narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean by everything?"
Fear burned in the girl's eyes as she realized what she said. "I-I love him Venus, please understand I don't regret it. I know he'll be my husband someday, the love of my life. He loves me, we will be married."
"Not in this lifetime and as long as I am alive, you two will never be wed."
"Why?! Why is it such a terrible thing for us to love each other, you always said to find love!"
"Because it is against nature Serenity! The law of the universe, your kind can never be with his. It is disgusting and revolting, their kind will never be worthy for you Serenity! You deserve better than him. This love will never be accepted by anyone, and a war will be started because of your foolish actions!"
"Please Venus-"
"You are to never speak or meet with that boy unless under royal business with your mother or with me in your presence."
"Venus-"
"Or I shall tell the Queen and let her deal with it."
Fear seized the sobbing Princess. "Please don't," she whispered, the horror of what her mother would do to Endymion if she knew began to make her shake.
"If you abide by my rule to stop this-this love you think he has for you, I won't."
"But he does love me-"
"He does not Serenity! Endymion is just using you as another conquest, telling you lies so that you will fall for him, fall into his bed for his pleasure! That's what his kind does, the people of Earth. I sense something about them, they wish to hurt you Serenity. Endymion was spilling lies. And you actually believed what his lips said were true!"
"But-"
"No," finality in the word, "You are to not leave this room without me or your mother as your escort. That is final and I pray to Selene that this spare time will aid you into coming to your senses."
"Venus, please-"
"I should be crushing his skull under my heel Serenity so do not bargain with me!"
The weeping princess curled into a ball on the floor, her streams of silver hair surrounding her form. Without an ounce of regret, Venus opened the door and left.
She however heard Serenity's choked final words as the door closed.
"I would die for him Venus..."
The warrior was able to hold back until she reached her own chambers, where she collapsed onto the floor in hot tears.
'What had he done? He tainted her, filled her with lies and false promises. Ruined her. She thinks he actually loves her, she was fooled. She let her heart do her thinking. And now she will despise me because of my actions.'
'You failed,' she thought. 'You failed to protect your princess. You failed to protect her from that monster.'
"HONNNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
Minako jumped so high from the sound that she hit the roof of her car with a yelp. Coming to her mind, the blonde realized she had been sitting in her parking spot with her car engine on the entire time. A black SUV was frantically trying to take her spot in the busy parking lot.
Sending a 'sorry' wave to the driver, Minako quickly drove out of her spot and out onto the street. She increased her speed when she saw the time.
She was late for her bridesmaid dress fitting with the others. She became disgusted with herself when she felt no remorse for being late.
"Do you think it needs more lace?"
"Usagi-chan, I think it is perfectly fine how it is."
"Yea, it's kind of late to do any last minute alterations don't you think?"
"IT'S JUST NOT LATE! IT'S EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA EXTRA LATE ODANGO!"
All three retired warriors turned to the heavily breathing dark-head who had literal fire in her dark purple eyes.
"Jeez Rei-chan, get a grip on yourself," Makoto attempted to calm her. "It's just lace."
Ami nodded in agreement. "Rei-chan stress is bad of your health. Of all people, you should know how to relax and calm yourself. It is just lace."
"Oh first it's just some extra lace on the wedding dress, then it's more people to add onto the guest list, then it's changing the seating arrangements, then it's changing the songs, then it's questioning the appetizers, then it's QUESTIONING THE WHOLE WEDDING ITSELF!"
All gave her wide eyes and a straight line mouth as a response. Usagi decided it was best for her to break the tense silence. "Um Rei-chan, your eye is starting to twitch and you're doing that thing where you bare your teeth to everyone."
Closing her mouth, Rei's eye continued to twitch under the stress. The clipboard in her hand was being held on so tightly that her hands had gone white.
"Maybe this Wedding Planner position put too much pressure on you-"
"No, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine Usagi-chan," the priestess declared, calming down from her near panic attack. "My promise was to make this the wedding of your dreams Usagi-chan and damn it all if it won't be!"
"Thank you so much for doing this all Rei but honestly it was just a silly question," Usagi reassured, turning back to the photo in hand of her wedding dress. "I just thought that maybe there should have been more lace."
Minako walked to the back of the high-end dress shop where she spotted familiar crowns of hair. "If you added anymore lace to it, it would resemble my Grandma's wedding dress."
The pigtailed blonde turned around, a bright vibrant smile painted across her features at the sight of her identical friend. "MINAKO-CHAN!"
Usagi leaped into her newly arrived friend's arms, Minako barely being ready to take on the extra weight to her figure. "Hey Usagi, I haven't used my gym membership in a few weeks so can you-"
"Oh I'm sorry Mina!" In a flash, the blonde jumped back from the other blonde, apologizing for her actions.
"Better late than never," Rei uttered, clicking on her Bluetooth that was in her ear.
"Ever heard of traffic pyro?"
The dark-haired girl cocked an eyebrow. "Then how come Ami made it on time, considering you two came from the same place?"
Minako's eyes widened, the said blue-haired woman reddening at her betrayal. "There was-ummm-a big accident outside the restaurant right after Ami left."
"Mhm," Rei said, not convinced but decided to change the topic. "So everybody, your dresses are in your dressing rooms with the number that matches the way you will be lined up at the alter. Get going, we're burning valuable daylight."
Makoto walked to "Number #3", Ami to "Number #2" and Minako came to "Number #1". Closing the white door on the glaring dark head and the smiling blonde, Minako turned to see the bright pink decorative garment bag hanging from the hook. The room was decorative and vast, three framed mirrors on the walls, which were framed in pure white.
She pulled down the zipper to reveal the shimmering material of the gold yellow dress. Minako still gasped at the beauty of the long gown that she was going to wear in mere minutes. Usagi wasn't the kind of bride who wanted her bridesmaids to be dressed in the ugliest dresses so that she would shine. It was quite the opposite actually, the moon guardian was decking her friends to the nines with beautifully made gold dresses.
Minako's dress, because of her maid-of-honor position, was the most expensive and dare say the most beautiful due to the delicate sequins and intricate beading that made the wearer radiate with a warm gold glow.
After admiring the piece of clothing, she finally took it out and hung it on the rod. Minako quickly shed her black pencil skirt, white blazer, black turtleneck, and matching lace bra. She slid the shimmering dress over her head, the material feeling like silk against her bare skin. She adjusted the halter-top dress, fixing the straps that went around her neck and crisscross behind her, the dress exposing her entire backside up until the small of her back. The dress clung to her shapely figure, the gold waterfall pooling at her naked feet.
The fashion designer knew without a doubt it was one of the most beautiful things she had seen and worn in her entire life. It looked exquisite and felt like it too.
Her happy thoughts were then derailed when the reason why she was wearing the dress came into her mind, only thoughts of hatred and disgust filled her then even if she didn't want it.
When she would wear this, Mamoru will be exchanging vows and marrying Usagi in a lavish ceremony at a beautiful church in the city. The thought sent her stomach in knots, remembering the incident she had in her car, the way she had yelled and threatened Serenity made her sick.
Minako knew that Venus loved Serenity like a daughter, a sister, a dear friend to her heart and only did what she did to protect her from heartbreak and sadness as well as violence that might have been against her. But these old feelings towards Endymion were ludicrous to her.
Why does she still have a hatred against him, after all these centuries?
And why does Venus insist on pushing these feelings on her, guilting her and torturing her with memories and images of things that make her cry.
'He's not worthy for her, he never will be! Serenity took her own life because of that man, because of his lies to her. His "love" will never be worthy.'
Minako's heart jumped as her alter ego's voice echoed through her head. These conversations were getting old real fast. 'He is worthy! Mamoru-san has lost his own life to save and protect Usagi. He loves her with everything in his heart! There's no one-'
'He lost his life because he was too weak to protect her, such as Galaxia. Did he protect with his life when she dove into Pharaoh 90, risking her life? Oh and did he protect her when he broke her heart? You call this protecting?! You disgust me, I am ashamed of what you have become Minako. Afraid to do what is necessary.'
'Because it isn't necessary! Mamoru-san is not a threat! He's our friend, our family! The love of Usagi's life, her soulmate! I am not going to-to…'
"MINAKO-CHAN?! ARE YOU OKAY?! DOES THE DRESS FIT OKAY?!"
Usagi concerned cries from the door snapped Minako out of her verbal battle with her past self. She picked up the hem of her long gown and quickly went to the dressing room door to put a stop to her friend's loud and obnoxious knocking.
"Sorry Usagi, I was just admiring my beauty and grace in the mirror, as usual."
All four of her comrades laughed, convinced by her lie. "That sounds like you Minako-chan," Makoto grinned with mirth.
"OH MY GOD MINAKO-CHAN, YOU LOOK SO PRETTY!"
Once more Minako's body was engulfed by a tiny energetic blonde, but this time Minako squeezed back her friend with all her strength, reveling in the brightness and comfort that Usagi's embrace brought her.
"Thanks Usagi-chan," Minako beamed, inhaling the fruity smell of her princess. She felt guilty, ashamed knowing that she couldn't fully condone Usagi's vows to Mamoru, but here she was wearing the dress that her friend had bought and given to her to wear at the wedding she couldn't bless.
"Come on, get on the platform with Mako-chan and Ami-chan," Usagi cheered as she let go of her death grip and directed Minako in front of the big tri-fold mirror where the other bridesmaids were.
Both Makoto and Ami's dresses had the same structure as Minako's dress but theirs were more simple and less intricate in their design.
"I'll let go of this this tardy for once Airhead," Rei went on, "Because all three of you look amazing together." She finished her statement with a proud smile.
"Not my style, but I can definitely grow to love it," the brunette guardian mentioned, particularly loving how the halter dress showed off her lean but toned arms.
"Me too, this dress is lovely," Ami chimed in.
"Yea," Minako added in, focusing her mind on her appearance in the big mirror. The dress did great with showing her toned and bronzed arms, her golden hair sprawled on her shoulders complemented the dress well.
"Ahem-You're welcome," Rei coughed out. "I was the one who designed them."
"Thank you Rei-chan, we love you and are grateful for your friendship," all four retired warriors said in unison, having practiced over the years.
"That's what I thought, you guys are losing your touch," the dark-haired priestess noted, a playful smirk playing on her lips.
"You guys look so pretty," Usagi croaked out. "I'm so thankful that all of you will be with me on my big day."
The three turned away from the mirror to see their leader with glassy eyes and a warm smile. "Usagi-chan we're so happy for you," Makoto replied, getting emotional. "We know you'll have a great life with Mamoru-san, just never forget about our cooking lessons on Thursdays."
"Yes," Ami agreed. "And don't forget about our tutoring lessons on Tuesdays. Manga artists still need education Usagi."
"Thanks guys," the blonde laughed, wiping away happy tears from her blue eyes. "I'm so happy my best friends will be there to support me."
Minako's heart clenched at her words. Usagi's statement was false, one person wouldn't support her on Saturday.
"Enough enough," the dark-haired wedding planner announced, herself getting misty-eyed as the realization of her friend getting married hit, "You three need to get to your own fittings. No more emotional moments, I scheduled those for tonight at the bachelorette party." Rei quickly clicked her pen and wrote something on her clipboard, sniffling a bit.
"Rei-chan, got everything planned out," Usagi joked, "Even the emotional breakdowns."
The Mars guardian snorted. "Someone has to, especially with your crazy mood swings Odango," Rei replied, playfulness in her violet eyes. "Now everyone get going, I didn't survive evil queens, aliens, a future occult, and a civil war just to have one of your idiot's dresses fall off while you walked down the aisle."
Makoto and Ami walked off the small stage while Minako settled into her position to have the seamstress began her work on making sure the gold dress would be crafted to her body. Rei left to show the two bridesmaids where their platforms were in the shop, while Usagi stayed in her spot, looking Minako up and down with bright eyes.
"You look so beautiful Minako," the pig-tailed blonde muttered, tears starting their journey down her face.
"Usagi-chan," Minako whined, looking at her friend through the mirror she was facing. "I think I'm supposed to be the one who cries for you when I see you in your dress."
"I've always hated rules Minako-chan," Usagi quipped. "Never have been predictable."
"That's true," the golden blonde agreed. She felt a small hand slip into hers and squeeze. She saw that Usagi had moved next to her, holding her hand.
"Thank you so much for being my maid-of-honor Minako. I'm so happy that'll you'll be right next to me when I marry the love of my life."
"Your welcome," Minako choked out, trying hard not to shake at with the rage that her past self was having.
"Can you believe it, I'm finally getting married. After all those years, battles, wars, Rei trying to kill half the wedding staff…..me and Mamo-chan are finally getting married. Can you believe it?"
"No." For once, she didn't have to lie.
"Me neither, I can't wait to be Mrs. Chiba," the long-haired blonde had stars in her eyes. "Or maybe I should hyphenate? What do you think Minako-chan?"
'Don't hyphenate, don't change your name, in fact don't get married at all.'
Minako kicked herself mentally at those thoughts. "Whatever you like best Usagi-chan."
"Maybe I'll hyphenate then, I kind of grew to like the pun in my name," Usagi laughed.
Minako felt the knots in her stomach, the growing voice in her head as Usagi went on and on about how her new life as "Usagi Tsukino-Chiba" would go. The urge to confess all her true feelings and thoughts waged a war in her head, the need to slap and shake her friend grew larger.
One of the scariest things that had passed in Minako's mind was the thought that she would not promise her protection over Mamoru. The other guardians, both inner and outer, had vowed to protect and defend their future King and Queen, but the guardian of Venus, could only pledge her loyalty to her Queen, no one else.
That scared her beyond reason because if a battle were to come again with an enemy, she would not defend her Prince, she would not risk her life for his in anyway. Minako knew that even if she were to have the urge to protect him, it would be snuffed out by her past self.
What if, without her protection, Mamoru were to die on the battlefield? Blame would go to her immediately, Usagi would hate her, resent her for letting her soulmate die. The thought broke her, Usagi hating her, loathing her with every fiber of her being because it was her fault that he would die.
The other guardians would shame her, strip her of her leader position, of her sailor guardian position. The thought made her break in so many ways, to have her friends, no family, hate her and shun her.
Along with her vow of protection, Minako worried about the future, specifically the pink-haired future. What if she hated Chibusa because of her father, because of the fact that she was the product of Usagi's and Mamoru's love? There has never been a hatred filled thought towards the child before but what if when she was officially born, the hatred will arrive as well.
The mere thought of hate against her adoptive niece, almost daughter, sent a bile taste in her mouth. Minako was questioning everything, her duties, her future, her own sanity at this point.
'The fact that you are letting him live should make you question your sanity.' She clenched her jaw as the voice returned. 'Do you not know who he is, what he has done?'
'Why? Why do you hate him so much?'
'Because he's the pigheaded ignorant man that took her away from us, our friend, our sister, our princess that we swore to protect. If he hadn't seduced Serenity, Beryl would have never pledged to Metaila, thus the war and destruction of Earth and the Moon would have never happened. The death of Serenity or any of you would have never happened. We would have lived peacefully, Serenity would have become Queen, found another suitable love, and you would have ruled Venus under peace.'
'You don't know that-'
'Just imagine it, you as Queen Venus. Would have had found love since your duty to your princess would have been done due to her becoming Queen. Serenity would have a family and love, the one you would approve of. All of the guardians would have what they wanted. You would have been happy, in love, a family. Don't you want that now? A love and children. You would have already gotten it, if it wasn't for one person…...'
"Minako-chan are you okay? Is something wrong?"
Minako realized that without her knowing, tears made their way down her face, which had a saddened look on it. She bit back the tears at once and turned to see Usagi's highly concerned face.
"Nothing," she croaked. "I'm just-just so happy that you're getting married Usagi-chan. I want nothing but the best for you."
"Oh Minako-chan, you don't have to cry about it because now I'm going to cry." The twenty three year-old blonde already had glossy eyes. "And I am getting the best Minako. The best friends, the best life, the best husband. And you'll be there the entire time."
"Great, I can't wait."
"I'm going to go and check on the others. And get some tissues. I'll grab you some too Mina."
The bubbly blonde squeezed her hand once more before bouncing out of the area, her short yellow sundress encircling her legs.
Minako looked into the mirror with disdain. She hated lying but knew the truth would hurt worse. She loved Usagi and would never willingly lie to her but Minako didn't think that their friendship would servive if she knew the truth.
Everything that her alter ego said was some form of the true. If Endymion had never fallen for Serenity, Beryl wouldn't have started the war, Metalia would have died off without a host, and everyone would have lived in peace and happiness in Silver Millennium. It would have been their dream.
But it didn't happen.
Usagi-Serenity-never got the chance to become Queen and rule her loyal people, never married, never had children that she could pass down her power too. Minako remembered how much she wanted to have love and a family, even now she craved it. Because of what happened, that future family was erased, wiped from the timeline. And the thought broke her. Their future would have been so different if it hadn't been for one person.
As the seamstress worked on the small train on the back of her gown, Minako felt that little black spot in her heart grow. It was the hatred she had bottled up for so long now.
And she didn't even try to stop it from spreading to her entire heart. To her entire being.
Sooooo did the second chapter follow up the first one well or did you guys hate it? I tried to expand my writing and try to create flashbacks so tell me in the REVIEWS how you liked how you didn't! Thank you for all the support! Remember to leave a review because I love hearing from you guys! Onto the bachelorette party….
