Chapter 2- Hiding behind a mask of smiles

A/N- Short chapter, but it's because I felt a need to end it here. It's also how I've had it written forever, and I didnt feel a need to reorganize the whole fic.

I don't own Sailor Moon

(Minako POV:)

These kids... Something wasn't right. And god I hated kids (mainly because they hated me) but that was besides the point. My heir...

Suddenly, everything was fuzzy. I shut my eyes and felt my body go limp.

"Mom? Goddamn wake up!"

My eyes fluttered open to my arm being shaken by a girl who looked 15 years old. I recognized her immediately, as the girl who stood by Chibiusa. I didn't remember her name. Something with an A.

"What- What's going on?" I spoke quickly. So all of a sudden, I decide to blink, and I'm no longer in the 21st century. Ya know, time logic.

"You slept for 16 hours straight." Said the girl whose name started with an A (and that I couldn't remember).

"R-Really?" I said this slurred. Almost as if my body wasn't used to speaking. Again, weird. My voice was working perfectly fine 30 seconds ago.

"Really." This was a new voice. My fluttering eyes wandered until they locked onto a tall figure in front of me.

Kunzite.

I brought a hand to my head and sighed. This was a dream. I opened my eyes and examined my surroundings. Kunzite and the girl were the only people here. The girl...

HOLY SHIT. Her name, I remembered, was Aiko. But... the resemblance was uncanny.

I stood up and felt weird. Dizzy.

"You collapsed after the meeting." He said. I tried not to stare. E.

"Did I really?" I tried to walk and swayed slightly.

"V what's wrong?" I wanted to smile and run into his arms, but I didn't feel like I had the energy.

"I-I don't know... Am I dreaming?"

"No. You're not. Sit down please, I'll get you something."

"O-Oh ok." Everything was spinning. It was like looking through a kaleidoscope.

I never sat down like he had said. Instead I stood in front of the couch, resting against it. This made no sense. I settled on 3 possible reasons: Maybe looking into the future makes you dizzy. Maybe I'm REALLY hungover and I'm having whack side effects. Or maybe, I'm not in the future at all, but I'm just straight drunk in real life and I'm hallucinating. Option 3 seemed the most logical.

"T-This is a nice dream."

"For like the 10th time, It's not a dream. Are you sure you're not like high on something?" Aiko commented.

"N-No I'm not oOf course it's a dream. There's no way that in the future, I, Aino Minako, would- Actually... Kunzite? Alive? I-I'm so DRreamMinGg" My eyelids felt heavy.

Aiko sighed. "Just rest, after you have some med- MOM!"

I felt my body hit the floor, and then I saw nothing.

"MINAKO!" I heard Ami faintly scream.
