        Haruka led Usagi toward the solarium, where Michiru was waiting at
the dinner
table.  Usagi looked around at the colorful mix of flowers and plants, tehir
fragrance wafting
up to her nose.
        ~ mmm, those smell wonderful. ~

?Ahh, Usa-chan, you?re up.  Good, now we can eat.?  Michiru called out as
they approached
the table.  ?Are you feeling any better??

        Yes, lots better, Michiru.  Thank you for asking.?  Usagi said,
smiling at the kind
woman.

?Well Michiru, Usa-chan, shall we eat??  Haruka asked politely, though
impatiently.

        ?Yeah, I?m starved.  What?s for dinner??

?Spagetti and meatballs.?  Haruka said, trying to supress a smile.

        ?Great!  That?s my favorite.?  Usagi said, laughin as Haruka face
vaulted.

        Mamoru slowly and reluctantly came back into consouisnes.
~ Uggh, that dream wasn?t nearly long enough.  I am just glad that the
dreamscape affords
us a chance to still remain together. ~  He thought to himself.  kAs the
thought passed
through his mind, the door to the cell opened, spilling harsh light onto his
face, temporarily
blinding him.

?Well, Mamoru, have you reconsidered??  The queen asked, her voice mock
sweet.  She
wore a dark blue leotard with a black swing jacket.

        ?Answer your own question.?  Mamoru spat out.  Enraged, she stormed
over to
where he sat bound, and slapped his face hard.

?Never, and I mean never, act so ill mannered towards me again.?  She
reached
out to
carress his face where she had struck, but he moved away as if her touch
burned.  She
screamed out in frustration.

?Why must you make me dot these things, Mamoru?  Is it my daughter?  Is that
why you
reject me?  Well, no matter.  I will kill her, and when you se her head on a
platter, you then
will love me.?  the queen said, laughing slightly at his expression.

        ?No!    You can?t....You wouldn?t....No!?  He all but screamed at
her.

?Ahh, but I would and could and will.  I realize now that it would be
theonly
way to have
you to myself.?  She said.  Mamoru fell silent and his head fell down, his
chin on his chest.

?Does this mean you give up??  She asked, slightly shocked at his defeated
posture.

        ?Yes,? He said, almost inaudibly.  ?Don?t kill her, and I will go
with you willingly.?

?Done.  Prepare for the wedding!?  She called out, and scurrying sounds
could
be heard
behind her, no doubt minions running to fulfill her commands.  The queen
walked up to
Mamoru and, raising his head, carressed his cheek lovingly.  He made a
deliberate effort not
to flinch.

?Well, my prince, soon my king, lets see if we can?t move you somewhere more
comfortable.?
************************************************************************

        ?Oh Haruka, Michiru, that was wonderful.  Oh, I dont? think I?ve
eaten that well in a
long time.?  Usagi said, sighing appreciativly.

?Well, we?re glad you liked it, Usa-chan.?  Michiru said.  Haruka nodded her
head in
agreement.  Usagi smiled at them, and tried unsucessfully to suppress a
yawn.
 Haruka
laughed good naturedly and stated the obvious.

?Usa-chan, I think you still need some more sleep, why don?t you go back to
bed.?

        * Yawn *  ?I think you are right, Haruka.  Goodnight Michiru,
Haruka.
 See you
both in the morning?  Usagi said, working her way back to her room from the
solarium.
After about 15 minutes of wandering, and three picked roses, one white, one
red, and one
yellow, Usagi found herself back in the main hallway.  She walked a short
distance and
immediatly found her room due to the cute pink bunny on the front, so she
opened her door,
and stepped in, closing it behind her.

        ~ I think I need a good relaxing bath before I go to bed. ~  she
thought to herself,
walking toward the bathroom.  Opon entering the quite large one attached to
her room, she
noticed a bath already drawn and a fluffy pink robe sitting on the chair
next
to the tub.
Shutting off the harsh overhead light, she noticed candles had been lit,
creating a nice,
darkened, quiet place for her to relax.  Shedding her clothing, she slipped
into the bubbled
water, sinking down until her head rested against the edge.

        ~ Ahh, this is definatly what I needed. ~  She thought to herself as
she felt her body
go slack in the luxurious heat and sweet water.  Usagi reached over and
grabbed a bath
pillow, and placingt it in a comfortable position for her head, she
completely relaxed until
she fell into the land of the dreaming.

* Dreamscape *
************************************************************************

        Usagi stood in a meadow, but not in a meadow.  She was surrounded on
all sides by
mirrors, so she could only see the meadow when she looked down, and only the
sky when
she looked up.  She looked into one of the mirrors, and lost her breath when
she saw her
reflection.  She was dressed in a pale blue gown that hugged her curves and
billowed out to
her ankles in soft waves, her hair had turned to the color of a winter sun
and her eyes had
turned a golden color.  She sank down to the ground the dress spilling
around
her, and
suddenly felt a loss that left her indescribably lonely.

        Mamour had been ushered into a large room settled accross from the
queen?s.
Attendants undressed him and re-dressed him in comfortable finery, then
settled him into
bed, and left, shutting the doors.  Mamoru felt the pull of sleep and
floolowed a call into
unconciousness.
************************************************************************
* Dreamscape *
************************************************************************

        Mamoru stood in a bright meadow, facing a rose bush and a young
woman
surrounded by panes of glass, and she was crying.  Her form shook with the
force of her
tears, and her silver gold hair fell limply around her.

~ That?s Usagi! ~  He finally realized, and ran to her.  She felt his
approach before he ran to
her, and she shrank away as his arms grabbed her.

        ?No, no!  Don?t look at me!?  she cried out between sobbs.  He tried
to turn her form
towards him, but she remained still and wourld not face him.

?Usako, what is wrong?  Wha can?t  you let me see your face??  He asked,
genuinly
puzzled.

        ?Because I......I.....I?m ugly!?  She finally said, breaking down
into violent sobbs
again.  Mamoru took her form into his arms, her back resting against hsi
chest.  She lay her
head to the side, her hair veiling her face from his veiw.  Taking note of
the situation,
Mamoru Positioned her body to his veiw point so that he could look at her
without her
realizing.  Her face had become paler, her lips were a slight pink color,
and
her hair
reminded him of the winter sun.

        ~ I don?t know what she is talking about, she is even more beautiful
than I
remember. ~  She felt eyes looking at her,m so she opened her eyes, and
found
Mamoru
looking intently at her, one moment a look of awe graced his face, another a
look of shock.

        ~ Must be the eyes. ~  She thought.
