Questioning Fates. Part Three.

He was looking through a window into a beautiful, large house.
The house was made of brick, and infront of it was parked a very expensive sports car.
A limousine stopped infront of the house and a tall, thin girl in a flowing white dress and shawl on her head came out, setting her sunglasses over her eyes.
He heard a man's voice as the front door opened, but he couldn't see the figure, yet the voice seemed vaguely familiar... Mina's gloved hand went up, accepting the one in the door, her eyes still strange, in a trance.
Torn between not wanting to see who was inside the door, waiting for Mina, and saving Mina from this false destiny.
He closed his eyes and rushed forwards, as his paw touched Mina, the scenery once again wavered and disappeared.
"Is it time for one... for one of my dreams?" he thought to himself.
The scenery opened to that of a normal school, many kids in uniforms walked down halls to classes.

"So... Kiri-sama? How was the History test for you? I think I bombed it."
"No way! That was totally easy, I'm sure I aced it."
"Hrr.... Always the brain..."

The voices surrounded him, and he looked down.
He was also wearing a uniform, the same as everyone else.
His long silver hair had been cut short, in a hair cut resembling Mamoru's.
He was casually holding his books to his side.
He glanced forward and saw a flushed girl approaching him, clutching something in her hands.
Her blond hair swept past her knees, and her bright blue eyes glittered.
'Yes' he thought. 'Yes, this is definately my dream'
"Um..." said Mina, blushing. "Sempai?"
"Yes?" said Artemis
"Well... well... this is for you!" she said, shoving a letter in his hand and rushing off.
A single tear slipped down his face as he pocketed the letter.
"I musn't open it." He said, waiting for the scenery to waver once more.
And it did.
But this time, the senshi were reunited.

"Did everyone have the same reality trip we did?" asked Usagi, clutching Luna.
"Seriously Usagi, I cannot believe the kind of dreams you have..."
Serena blushed and let Luna drop to the ground.
"Well I went through it..." said Ami "and I'm kind-of glad to be out of it..."
"It makes my dreams look so far away" said Rei
"No, I think it's going to let me realize mine faster" said Lita
"I saw what I could have, and I liked it, now I'll work harder to achieve it"
Mina was quiet, pulling on her skirt nervously.
"Hum, what's wrong Mina?" asked Usagi glancing over at her friend
"Artemis...?" questioned Luna.

Mina began to hum the tune of the song she had sang in her first dream.
"Those weren't my dreams, senshi"
"What?"
"Well not in a sense-- those were my old dreams, but I have simpler ones now.... This enemy isn't as powerful as we think, they make illusions of our dreams, yet not of our deepest dreams. But I was thinking.
Maybe this is a smaller enemy, a henchman. What if the real enemy is to come. Will it show us our deepest dreams? Will we be able...--"
Artemis cut her off "Will we be able to escape from them."
The senshi looked bewildered.
"Wasn't it hard? Letting go of those dreams, wasn't it? Well these were the smaller opportunities, the ones we can easily achieve on our own... not easily persay, but with proper training yes-- that's our future. But, if they delve deeper they'll find those dreams that people work forever at but don't achieve. What if they find those, what if we can't escape from them, and are trapped forever?" said Mina, looking at the senshi sadly.
Lita stood up and took a breath.
"I know what you mean-- I saw my tea shop, and it was so perfect, full of people, each with praise of my cooking, so many people were happy. And I was there, serving the tea and baking my goodies, working hard days, but getting so much satisfaction of it all... I almost couldn't leave it."
Rei looked over.
"I was in a large private jet, with the guy of my dreams at my side. My laptop was buzzing, offers to sing- act- model... my company doing so well. I was travelling around the world... My dream was there laid before my, just like I'd envisioned it, and yes... for a second or two, I didn't want to leave."
Ami smiled.
"I was a doctor, and I had so many patients, some very hard cases... I was on call at the Emergency room, and everyone's adrenaline was high, every minute someone was being brought in, needing our attention to survive. My skill was all there, I was a high-paid doctor-- but that didn't matter. I saved someone's life. I didn't want to leave, I was just getting started--...."
Usagi nodded slowly.
"My little family was flourisihing. Reeni was playing, Mamoru and I working in the garden, planting roses. Shingo, my brother was there, playing with Reeni and Motoki. While my mother and father were happily sipping lemonade on the porch. The roses were blooming, and that night, my whole family had a barbeque...The fireflies were flying, and the lanterns burning softly... it was just so beautiful. I didn't want to leave either"

Mina looked over at Artemis and stroked his head.
"Artemis thank you..."
He looked puzzled.
"Thank you for being with me, I wouldn't have has the power without you."

"Thank you Mina..." he thought to himself
"Without the thought of you guiding me... I wouldn't have been able to do anything..."
