She stood there in the room, before she would walk down the aisle to marry the love of her life. Today was the day they would be spending the rest of their lives together. The day her teenage self had always dreamed of.
As she looked behind her she saw her friends, her bridesmaids. Eight of them, all together, beautiful and happy. They were so dear to her, making every bit of the battles worth the fight.
She never thought she'd be here, she thought the one named Galaxaia would take those loved ones away from her. It was all her doing that she was now here, solely because she never gave up hope, even during the darkness of the battle.
A few years had passed since the hardship ended, where she left the cauldron to continue sharing their lives. They had accomplished many things together before she became queen even if it was a few short years.
She was grateful, that of all the blood, sweat and tears she gave, she was finally here. She was going to be Neo Queen Serenity in months to matter but in that moment before she would walk down the aisle she was still Usagi Tsukino .
Before she would live those dreams, she always treasured, she remincised on what her life would be like if she gave up hope..?
If death wasn't the case, she'd be arriving home, losing all hope and faith she had. She'd arrive at school, staring at empty desks where her friends would sit. She'd be silent, not saying much unless asked.
On the way home she would walk past happy couples, crying every time. Grieving the one she loved. Red roses would surround her, reminding her of him, and she would want to pluck them till they were bare.
She'd pass the arcade, hearing the laughs of students, torturing her every time. Everywhere would feel so empty, her home, school and the places where she would go.
If she gave up hope, she'd lose herself too. It wasn't Usagi Tsukino who'd return home, it'd be the girl whose soul were the same.
As she looked around her, she was glad the reminiscent wasn't a reality. She was Usagi Tsukino and she'd never given up hope.
Because There were pages turned and the bridges burned, she was finally here. She was happy, with all the ones dear to her and she wasn't alone.
