"Usagi..." She could hear it, a soft voice carried over a long distance- coming to rest at her ears. "Usagi, open your eyes..." Without thought, her eyes opened.
She was completely surrounded by nothing; her body was balled up- her arms wrapped tightly to her legs. It seemed like the same place she had been when Galaxia stole her star seed. Floating along, but not moving at the same time. "Wha...?" her voice echoed softly.
She felt so tired; her body ached with every thought of movement. Her body wanted to sleep forever...
"Usagi..." Her head lifted softly.
In front of her stood her future self. It was quite a shock if she could have shown it without hurting. A smile lifted the queen's lips a bit.
"What do you want..."? Usagi asked burying her face back in her arms. The older Usagi looked puzzled as to why she wouldn't be happy to see her.
"Usagi, your future is changing by the day. It's moving too fast. Everything you choose to do, you try to take back. Everything in the future is in turmoil. One minute everything is fine, the next its completely opposite... You have no idea how hard it is for me to keep up with all the changes!" She said trying to make a joke out of it.
Usagi looked up less amused. The queen cleared her throat a bit. "Your point is?" Usagi asked sharply.
"I just want to you be careful... You are messing with strong forces- Destiny and Fate. They don't like to be toyed with... if you mess too much with them...it will have consequences. I'm only warning you..." She said softly staring to dissipate already.
That was wonderful...another threat...this time from myself. She thought as her eyes closed and she fell deeper.

"...His fault, I can't believe he did this to her!" Usagi's head rolled hearing the muffled shout. Her eyes flickered open and she was left staring up at her ceiling. "He wont get away with it if I have anything to say about it!" She shifted hearing the voice again.
Turning her head to the side she was left looking across her room at her friends. Makoto looking angry clenching her fists together, Rei right along with her. Ami just looked sad and Minako stood arms folded over her chest.
"Everyone...?" Usagi's meek voice carried over to them and they snapped to attention turning and practically running back to her bedside.
"Usagi!" They all said in unison. A soft smile half lifted her lips. At least she had them.
"How are you, Usagi?" Minako said taking her friends hand, as her eyes searched over her face.
"I'm fine, what are you all doing here?" She said as she tried sitting up, Makoto lifted another pillow behind her back.
"Luna contacted us late last night when you were brought home by Mamoru..." Ami said sadly.
Like a strike of lightening and a roll of thunder, the images of the club ran through her head- last being that of Mamoru's shocked face. Usagi's eyes darkened and closed as she buried her head in her hands.
"Usagi..." Rei's voice carried softly. She heard what sounded like a small rumble before she felt a fast shift on the bed as Makoto stood up.
"I swear Seiya wont have a place to hide when I'm threw with him!" Her brunette stormed.
"What?" Usagi's head rose, her tears stood still on her cheeks as she looked up at her friends. "What does he have to do with anything?"
"What do you mean Usagi?" Ami asked, "Weren't you with Seiya last night at the club?"
Astonishment. That was the only way to describe Usagi's face. "No, I didn't see him at all yesterday..." Her eyes went wide.
Everyone was quiet, Makoto turned back to her friend, confusion written on her face. Usagi looked around the room, everyone looked at her for an explanation. They really thought I was with Seiya?
"We had talked to Setsuna yesterday after you left them... we just thought..." Minako stated softly.
"What exactly did you think?" She asked her friends, a bit sharply.
"Well... "Ami started off clearing her throat. "Setsuna told us you had a breakdown when she told you to break it off with Seiya..." She said a blush barely rising on her cheeks- embarrassment of possibly being wrong. "So when Luna called saying Mamoru had practically carried you home from some club... we thought you had gone there to break it off with Seiya, and he had done something to make you collapse". She finished looking up at Usagi for clarification.
Usagi looked down for a moment, confusion in her own eyes. Why had Mamoru carried her home? She couldn't understand it.
"I wasn't with Seiya...I went in there to get out of the rain" She started still looking down. She could see it all- just as if it were happening again. "The lights made me a bit dizzy, so I got some water..." She said smiling a bit to herself remembering the waiter.
"Is that how you collapsed?" Rei asked.
Usagi's smile faded and she shook her head, "No... I saw Mamo-Chan." She looked up a bit, everyone looked even more confused then before. "Doesn't it seem a bit weird that he didn't come to my party...and he's been too busy to see me at all? Yet, he can go to a club right after calling me to tell me he had a meeting?" She asked blankly.
"Usagi, I'm sure it was nothing..." Minako said smiling half-heartedly.
"Really? Then how do you explain the two woman on his arms?" She asked softly, really looking for an answer.
She watched as Rei's eyes widened, as did Makoto's. "I'm sure it was dark in there...I don't think he would do that..." Ami said, scrunching her eyebrows together.
"Well he certainly didn't pull away when one of them kissed him..." She stated bluntly, Rei's eyes widened even more, Minako put a hand over her mouth, and Ami sat silent- racking her brain for an explanation.
"I can't believe Mamoru would do that to you..." Makoto said sitting hard on the bed.
"I just don't understand..." Usagi said softly shaking her head. "Why did he carry me home...?"
Hey guys! Here's your next chapter! I hope you like it…This was a bit difficult for me to write, I'm not sure why though… I don't really like the 'future self' stuff as much as I had envisioned it… So sorry about that! . Thanx for all of your great reviews!
