She looked so regal, standing their in her white dress, the sun playing so happily on her features. It had been her first time visiting Earth, and while she seemed to like it, she seemed to like being with him and his generals more. She laughed, she joked with them, and she was blossoming into a woman he never knew existed.
He pulled her into the rose garden, showing her each of the different colors and types. They laughed together and held hands as they walked. She would lean over to smell a rose, and he'd tell her where it'd come from. He stopped her in the center, deciding to tell her just how he felt about her, how their love had grown.
As he looked up at her, she was no longer the princess, but the silly school girl. He reached out to her, noticing his armor was now gone. He really didn't think twice about it, reaching out to tug playfully on one of her odangos. They laughed, teased and flirted shamelessly, but he took her in his arms, longing to whisper his true feelings.
In that moment, she changed into Sailor Moon, the woman he fought so desperately to save on a nightly basis. She was so brave, so willing to protect people who didn't even realize she was doing it. Her selfless acts made him love her all the more. His gloved hand reached out to lightly touch her face. He leaned in to kiss her.
In a sweat, he woke up from his dream. He ran his hands through his hair. No longer was he haunted by the one woman, but 3 very different yet beautiful ones. He would never be able to choose nor could he confess to each his love.
Instead he was left, haunted by dreams of futures never to come.
