A/N: Okay... I promised this chapter to be by Darien but I started to but then realized there is no way I could write a whole chapter by the Earth Senshi. So I changed the chapter name and wrote this with both Serena (Usagi) and Darien.
Disclaimer: (this is the first time I have ever put a disclaimer in one of my stories!) I don't own Sailor Moon. I don't want to own Sailor Moon... just looks what happens where I get a hold of it!
Chapter Seven: Different Views
**Darien**
I am so tired. I have been up all night searching for the Senshi. I should probably call Serena. She will be upset. I hate when she is upset. Those beautiful blue eyes should never be sad. Those eyes should never be full of tears. I hate to see my Bunny crying, with real tears. Not that when she cries they are ever fake tears but when she is truly sad I cry too. Inwardly. Not much a man I would be if I cry outwardly. I heard a knock on my door. I sighed and opened the door. Serena stood there, her blue eyes wide and looked scared. I pulled her close to me.
"Bunny? What is wrong?" I asked her.
"You are real," she sobbed, "You are real…" I lead her to the living room and we sat down on the couch.
"Of course I am, Serena," I said, "Tell me what's wrong."
"They told me that none of this was real. That I had been in a metal institution for five years. That I made this all up. I made you up. Darien… Endymion… you are real, aren't you?" I hugged Serena.
"Of course I am real. Who told you this?"
"They called me Usagi. Said that Serena wasn't my real name but Usagi. And Sammy… he said his name was Shingo. I… I…" my Bunny began to cry again. I didn't know what to say.
"Bunny… it was a nightmare, wasn't it?"
"Said my friends were all characteristics that I wanted to have. But none of them were real. They aren't around now… what if you aren't real? What if I am crazy?" she cried between her tears.
"No Serena, my Serenity, listen to me. This is real. You just had a very bad dream. I am real. Mina, Lita and the others are real. Rini is real."
"Yes…" Serena leaned against me and her breathing deepen. I said nothing. I would just let her calm down. This was going to sound harsh but I didn't need this. The Senshi were missing and their leader was falling apart. I closed my eyes. I was so tired. There was no enemy doing this but there had to be. Why else would the Senshi leave? The Senshi loved Serena and they knew their duty. Within a few years Crystal Tokyo will take place and they would be needed. They couldn't just return. Would Serena just accept them back? I smiled faintly. Serena would. She had such a big heart. But I don't know if I would. They hurt my Bunny a lot.
I stroked her hair as I watched her sleep. She was calmer now. What a horrible dream to have! I leaned back against the sofa. I was so tired.
**Serena**
I opened my eyes. That warmth that was beside me had disappeared. I looked for Darien then realised that I wasn't with him anymore. Taking I deep breath I began to listen to Dr. Warner.
"...possibilities for a full recovery. But we need to be careful. If we act harshly with Usagi she will try to revert back. Mrs. Tsukino, please tell Shingo to be careful to what he says to Usagi."
"So there is a possibility that Usagi will be normal again?" my dad asked.
"Mr. Tsukino, Usagi's delusion is multi- layered. She believes she's some type of hero."
"Sailor Moon?" Mom asked.
"Yes. But that's only one part of it. She has created an intricate latticework to support her primary delusion. In her mind, she is the centre figure, the "moon princess". This world is beyond our imagination. She's surrounded herself with friends, who are also Sailor Senshi, who are as real to her as you or more. More so even. Together, with her boyfriend who is a prince, they fight overblown, grand conflicts against an assortment of monsters. But every time we think we are getting close to her, through to her, another enemy will appear-" I had enough of this.
"My friends…. they have disappeared because of an enemy!" I jumped up, "They must be doing this to me!" Dr. Warner pushed me gently back into the chair.
"Usagi… it's okay. There are no enemies here. You are safe here." I remember Rini.
"Rini?" I whispered. I wanted my daughter… as annoying as she is… she was also one of the few people who could make this all better.
"That's the daughter?" my dad asked. Dr. Warren nodded.
"Yes. That her daughter from the future. Strange story, her and her boyfriend grow up to be king and queen of the world and this daughter is born. She is sent to the past to save Usagi, who is under a spell. This episode will affect the rest of her stories. They will begin to fight for this fictionist future," he turned to me, "But this created more conflicts, didn't it?" I didn't look at him. I didn't like what he was saying. It was wrong. Rini was real! I will marry Darien! My Senshi are real! This man was a nightmare; he was the one who wasn't real!
"Your daughter. Your friends. all the people you created, they are not as comforting as they once were. They are coming apart. Having their own problems to face and aren't needing their Moon Princess to rely on."
"No…" I whispered, "they are real. You…"
"Usagi… listen to Dr. Warner. He is saying things that are important. Please Usagi." My mom whispered to me.
"You are the liar… he isn't real…" I whispered. I wanted to wake up.
"Usagi, we want to help you get better. And I think you want that too. Why else are your friends disappearing? Why would they leave without a single word? And your enemies. You used to create grand villains to battle against. And now what it is? No one. You claim to fight a nameless, a faceless villain. No one is there."
"I want to wake up!" I cried.
**Darien**
"I want to wake up!" Serena screamed next to me as my eyes opened. I looked at her. She was crying again.
"Darien… they say terrible things. Rini isn't real. You aren't real. My friends… they won't stop. Darien, make them stop. Please." my Bunny sobbed on my shoulder. I didn't know what I could do. I just hugged my Bunny.
"Bun? Why don't I make us some hot chocolate?" I offered her. Serena nodded. She loves hot chocolate. I walked into the kitchen and out on the water. I went to the cupboard and pulled out some chocolate covered cookies. I also knew how much Serena loved junk food and how it makes her feel better. I walked out to the living room with the cookies. I set the cookies on the table and called out for Serena. She wasn't on the couch anymore.
"Bunny?" I called out. I walked down the hall to see if she was in the bathroom or in my room, stealing a stuff animal. Yes I have stuff animals, mostly gifts from Serena or Rini. Still no Serena. I re-entered the living room and this time I noticed that the apartment door was opened slightly. I run out to the hallway, ignoring the screaming kettle.
"Bunny?" the hallway was empty. I leaned back against the wall. She had left. Where could she have gone? I walked back inside and picked up my communicator. I tried to buzz her but I heard the echo from her communicator in my apartment. She had left without it. Half wanting to scream I went and dialled her house.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Tsukino? It's Darien, is Serena there?"
"No, Darien. I haven't seen since last night. She told me she was going to Amy's."
"Oh. Could you have her call me when she gets in?" Mrs. Tsukino agreed and we hung out. Where was Bunny? I walked back to the living room. There I was shocked to see a woman standing there, as if waiting for me. She was wearing a small red dress, without any shoes. Her green hair was piled up in a bun on the top of her head.
"Ah, Prince Endymion. Just the man I was looking for."
**Serena**
I ran. I had to. I couldn't look at Darien anymore. I had to get away from him. From the memories. From these lies. I ran towards the temple, memories flashing through my brain. Why didn't I realise this before? I clutched my Silver Crystal. This was a dream. I couldn't be a Moon Princess! People weren't reincarnated. I was insane. I had to be. I ran to the lakeside and fell to my knees on the shore. The waves tickled my knees. I sobbed. I wanted this to be over. I closed my eyes and I hoped that perhaps when I opened them again I would be normal.
~~~~~~~~
I opened my eyes. Mom sat next to me.
"Mommy," I whispered, "I am very confused." Mom smiled.
"Oh Usagi! Please stay with us. Everything will become better real soon, just please stay with us." I looked at my mother and nodded.
"I want to be normal. Make me normal again." I whispered.
A/N: Okay... I know the chapter was a little short but at least I posted! Just a couple of points about the story: first from now on, unless otherwise stated, it is all going to be from Serena/ Usagi's point of view. Second it will get a little confusing from this point on. I have a plan how to wrap this all up so please bare with me! Thirdly, thank you to all who reviewed. I love you SO much! :x (--- that's a kiss, right?) anyway, please read and review then you will get kisses too! later!
