Prompt: "There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness."

The Black Moon Crisis was finally over. That dreaded event that had loomed over their very existence for nearly one thousand years was finally gone. They were free to live their lives without the threat of destiny hanging over their heads. For once, Serenity was going to get a peaceful night's sleep.

So she had a huge dinner with all of her friends and family, tucked her daughter into bed and fell asleep in her husband's embrace. Everything was perfect.

Her dream started off perfect as well, but then there was a growing pain in her head. It became unbearable and with a gasp she woke up. Endymion was there, but no- he looked younger and had that cold look on his face like when they were teenagers.

"Mamo-chan, what's wrong?" She reached for him but he pushed her arms back down to her lap.

"Please Ms. Tsukino, I've asked you not to call me that." She felt her heart falter at that statement. Mamoru never called her that. Ever. Period. Not even when he was mad at her.

She turned away from him when she felt the tears start to slip down her face; but what she saw then was even worse than Mamoru's cold disposition towards her. The walls in the room were completely white. There was one small dresser that had absolutely no pictures or personal items of any kind displayed on it. And the window, the window had bars across it. The air smelled sterile, like a hospital.

"Mamoru, where am I?"

"You're in the hospital Ms. Tsukino." Serenity turned towards the new voice with a smile on her face.

"Ami! Oh thank goodness you're here. What's going on? Why am I here and what's wrong with Mamo-chan?" Ami turned an icy look on Mamoru and Serenity trailed off seeing it.

"Dr. Chiba, perhaps she would make progress with her treatments if you would stop encouraging her delusions."

"Delusions?" Any answer as to whether or not the two doctors had even heard her were cut off by a very familiar singing voice, that seemed to be coming out of Mamoru's pocket. Mamoru flipped open his cell phone while giving Ami an icy glare in return.

"Wait! Since when does Mamo-chan have Minako's song as his ringtone? I didn't even know she had a song. When did V-chan have time to record a song Ami?" Ami gave her a smile, but it was fake and cold and unlike the Ami Serenity had known.

"Ms. Tsukino, you know very well that Minako Aino is a very popular pop star. You even got to go to see her in concert remember? It was last fall."

"What? What are you talking about Ami? And where's Rei and Mako-chan? Something isn't right here. Where are they? And Chibi-Usa, is she ok, where is she?" Serenity was growing frantic now. She could feel her heart begin to pound in her chest.

"I assume you mean the priestess Rei Hino, who was here last week? We tried playing by your delusions Ms. Tsukino, remember? We hired Rei Hino to perform an exorcism to rid yourself of the demons. But it didn't work. You are still having these delusions.

"As for 'Mako-chan' I'm afraid I have no idea who you are talking about. Most likely she is just another figment of your mind."

Mamoru finished with his phone call, snapped the device shut and shoved it back into his pocket.

"I'll leave you with Dr. Mizuno now Ms. Tsukino."

"Running out of work so early Mamoru?" Ami's smile was all wrong. And as Mamoru opened the door, Serenity caught a glance of a familiar red head. A woman she never thought she would see again.

"My wife and I have plans."

He left the door open and Serenity watched as he reached the red headed witch and placed a kiss on her lips. He then wrapped an arm around her waist and the two began to leave.

Just before Ami closed the door, the red head looked over her shoulder and gave Serenity a smug smile.

"No. No, Mamo-chan. Mamo-chan! Mamoru! ENDYMION!!!!!!!"

Beryl watched as the former Queen of Crystal Tokyo struggled against her own mind. She smiled and tapped the glass case once.

"Sleep well Serenity. May you dream for the next thousand years."
