It was pouring. It would not stop. I didn't care. It could rain all it wanted. Let it rain. Let it pour. I wished it would rain more. It could block out my mood. Help me forget about everything. What did that dream mean?

---Flashback

We were standing there about to get married then wham. He disappeared. "Darien?" I called out.
This beautiful lady suddenly appeared and stared at me. In the back of her was a man in a purple tuxedo. "Don't fight," he said. "Stay away, don't get caught. Stay safe, stay safe. We need you safe. If you fight, you will regret it!"
"Don't listen to him!" the woman said in front of me. "You will place the world in danger. Whatever he says, don't listen!"

Then it was over. It hurt me so much. The pain I felt in the dream. I woke up sweating like a dog. It physically hurt. Just like the conversation earlier.

---Flashback---
"Just go," he told me.
"No! I refuse to. I'm not this piece of trash you can kick around."
"Serena, please." He said not looking at me.
"Please what? Am I supposed to make this easy for you?"
"Serena, you'll understand one day. I promise." He let out a sigh and walked away.
"Oh, but I already understand," I whispered to myself.
-----------------------

'Just forget it,' I told myself. It didn't matter anyway. I walked a little more and appeared in front of Raye's temple. Oh, I could just imagine what would happen. "Where have you been?!" she would say, "you are always so late! These things are important. Can't you at least *try* to be on time?"
'What happens if you just had too much?' I wondered. No, I could not think like that. I had to be strong. Something was weighing me down. I felt danger. I felt fear. I felt vibrations. Wait- I feel vibrations? I glanced down to see my communicator beeping. "Where are you?" It was Raye. "Hurry, these droids bad. We need you-" Then she was cut off.
Droids? More than one? They *needed* me. Did they really? 'God, what is wrong with you?' my inner voice shouted. 'Hurry up and go!'
"Moon crystal power!" I shouted holding up my locket.
Once transformed, I ran into the temple and gasped. There were at least four creatures in the temple. However, as I looked on, I felt like I could faint. Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus were on the ground. Like they were dead. "No!" I called out, not thinking.
"There she is!" a voice snapped. I saw one of the *things* release an arm towards me. However, at the exact moment, I saw a flash a black, then felt arms pick me. It was him.
"Wh-what's going on?" I asked him.
"Wait, haven't you been here?" he asked me alarmed.
I felt like sobbing. 'No,' I answered him silently. 'I was too busy feeling sorry for myself.'
"Give her to me!" My train of thought was quickly disturbed with another one of the monsters wrapped his slimy arms around Tuxedo Mask. He quickly three a bundle of roses at its arm, which resulted in sounds of pain. However, the second one was too quick for him. In a moment, another attacked him and another grabbed me. There was one not making any movement and I wondered why. Then I saw the pink hair. Rini! 'Oh God,' I whispered, 'no.' I struggled with all my might. Reaching for my scepter, I shouted, "Moon Scep-"
"You won't be needing this." I looked up to see Rubeus grabbing my scepter and crushing it to the ground.
"Sailor Moon!" I heard Tuxedo Mask call. But it sounded far, far away.
"Please," I said quietly, "take me, not Rini. Please. Please,"
Rubeus just laughed. "I'll take both. Prince Diamond needs both."
The droid slurked to Rubeus, ready to give him the child when there was a burst of light.
The light was so bright and powerful, it hurt my eyes. In an instance, the droids died to nothingness. Rubeus was even on his knees. "Stop! Stop it!" the person came out of the shadows. "You-you! How are you here?"
"Don't ask questions!" the person put forth her arm and shined more power on him.
"Put down the child!" the person shouted.
Rubeus reluctantly placed the child down and disappeared.
'He's such a coward,' I thought. I realized I was on the ground, feeling weak from the power. At least I was no longer in a firm grip from the droid.
"Wh-who are you?" a familiar voice asked. I turned over to see Raye opening an eye. They were okay! They were okay! I felt like crying. I was so happy but so mad. And who was this person? As she came out into the light. It was a woman. Tall. Long blonde hair. She looked like me.
She was the woman in my dream
A chorus of gasps erupted in the room.
"You look like Sailor Moon," Amy's soft voice was heard.
"Ssh," said the woman. "Save your energy. Moon Healing!" she outstretched her arms and in an instance, I felt strong again. Looking around the room, I saw everybody stand up on their own. It was not apparent they were near death earlier. I sat up all the way and nearly fainted at the image in front of me.
"Who are you?" demanded an angry Jupiter.
"Mommy!!" everyone turned to see Rini, as fast lighting, run into the woman's arms.
"Ssh," she said. "It's going to be okay."
I looked from Jupiter's surprised expression to Raye's pale face, to Venus's open mouth, to Mercury switching on her blue scanner to observe the wonder in front of us. Tuxedo Mask's face looked stone. Then he asked, "Serena?"
