Usagi smiled at the girls around her. It was morning, and they all fought over which cereal they wanted to eat. Usagi sat in her seat with her hands in her lap. A deep sadness shined in her crystal blue eyes. No one noticed, too busy with their fighting. Sighing, Usagi got up to stare out the window. Life had become so twisted the past few days. A sudden hand on her shoulder made her gasp.
"Pluto?!?" Usagi's eyes grew wide. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, milady," Pluto cleared her throat. "It turned out in the future that Mamoru had been cheating with Rei all his life. Your future is secure. You will become Queen and Rini will be born. Don't worry. Also, the future has changed for the better. Because you changed the past so much, you have changed the future by much as well. Wiseman and his evil minions are not attacking in the future. "
"Really?" Usagi hugged Pluto. "Thank you so much! But... everything has changed so much. It all seems for the better. But I can't help but feel hurt. I truly loved him. I loved him so much. I don't think I'll ever be able to have those feeling for anyone ever again." Tears started falling from her eyes. Pluto hugged the young girl.
"Oh, milady, I know it hurts. And it will, for a long time. Pain heals itself, just give it some patience. Remember, love can come in many forms. Though you may be oblivious, look at all the love in this very room. Your friends, your guards, your saviors. They truly love you. You can pull through this. You just need the courage. And you know, you will find love again."
"Pluto!" Minako's scream pierced the air, and four sets of eyes turned towards the princess and the guardian of Time.
"Well, princess, it's time for me to go," with that, Pluto disappeared to guard the gates of everlasting Time. Minako, who had jumped to hug Pluto, landed on her but on the hard wooden floor. Groaning, she got up. The other four senshi laughed, then returned to their fight.
"Usagi, what's this?" Minako whispered concernedly. She gently wiped away the tears that were streaming down Usagi's eyes. "Are you crying?"
"I loved him!" with this statement, Usagi broke down, sobbing in Minako's arms. The two girls slid down, ending up in a sitting position. "I loved him, and he left me!"
"Oh, Usagi, I know you loved him. I know. And he hurt you. You know, as the senshi of love, I have a feeling that there will be someone else that you'll love even more. Remember, love never ends. When you lose love, you'll find it again. Always. And anyways, we're here with you, to help ease the pain of loss. You can trust us. We'll help you fight your battles. Oh Usagi! What did I tell you about men?"
"I know, Mina, I know. I know now what true love is. I know now what pain really feels like. A thousand battles cannot compare to the hurt I feel inside. But I know I will heal someday. And I'll wait for that day eagerly. But right now, I can't stop thinking about him. I need something to take my mind off of that man. Mamoru. The past two years, he was cheating. Cheating life, cheating me, cheating Rei, even, in a way. I gave my heart to him and he threw it back, in my face. "
"You know what; I think I know how to take your mind off of him. Remember how Rei had said that your fighting inabilities and you stupidity was unfit for a leader? Well, why don't we strengthen it? Ruka-chan and Mako-chan could give you lessons in fighting. And Hotaru-chan and Michiru-chan could help your knowledge grow. I'll be with you, cause I'm as stupid and weak as you."
"What? I'm stupid and weak? NEVER!" with this, Usagi laughed and started to chase Minako around. Pluto smiled from her post at the gates of Time. She knew Usagi was ready for anything the world would throw at her. The girl was going to heal.
I reely hope you guys liked that chapter! I'm thinking of a Mina/Andrew and a Seiya/Usagi relationship. I might make that definite! Tell me what you think!!
