DISCLAIMER: I do not remotely own Sailor Moon. BSSM is the property of their owners. This story was written for pleasure and not profit is being made on the part of the Deadly Diva.
The day had finally arrived. Usagi was going to marry the man she had loved since before she was born. She was excitedly nervous.
'What if Mamo-chan doesn't show up?' Usagi thought. She shuddered. There was something ruining what should have been the happiest day of her life. Usagi shook it off.
"Usagi, what's wrong?" Rei inquired upon noticing Usagi's face pale. Rei walked over to her friend and tucked a few loose strands back into the chignon that adorned Usagi's head.
Usagi glanced at her reflection in the mirror. Even though she couldn't see it, she was the vision of the perfect bride. Her strapless gown accentuated her upper torso that had been toned through years of battle. The gown was cut slim and flared out slightly at her calves leading to the mermaid tail train. It was simple, yet exquisite. Just like the woman wearing it.
Usagi fiddled with her crescent moon earring. "I don't know Rei. I'm so close to having the life that I have dreamed of for so long. I'm just afraid that something is going to go wrong."
Rei smiled. "Usagi, it's natural for you to be nervous. It's your wedding day."
"But Rei-chan --" There was a knock at the door. Makoto and Minako were on the other side.
"Come on Usagi," Minako chirped. "I know this is your day, but there is a church full of people waiting for the wedding of the millennium."
Makoto laughed. The truth in Minako's word's were not lost on the young women. Mamoru and Usagi had a love that stood the test of time, enemies and egos!
Usagi smiled as she looked at her friends.
"Oh my God!" Usagi exclaimed.
Makoto was the first to respond. "What is it?!? Who's there?!?" She assumed her fighting stance.
"Where's Ami?" Usagi screeched. "I can't do this without Ami."
The frantic look in the princess' eyes made the situation all the more hilarious. The room erupted with laughter. The look on Makoto's face went from panic to gaiety.
"You sent here to the chapel to make sure everything was in order. Don't you remember?" asked Minako.
"Oh yeah," Usagi answered sheepishly.
"Listen," Rei forced Usagi down into a chair, "You are letting your nerves get the best of you" Rei had mellowed over the years. She was less of a firestorm and more of a cozy campfire.
'Rei has really grown into her priestess role,' Usagi thought as her friend continued her counseling.
"so just relax and enjoy your day." As Rei hugged Usagi, tear flowed down her cheek. Rei sighed. She released Usagi and walked over to the full-length mirror. Rei looked at her reflection. 'Why couldn't it be me,' she asked herself. Rei didn't want to marry Mamoru. She always knew that he would never be hers. Besides, he was just an adolescent crush. Mamoru was simply a substitute for her heart's true desire. Even since she knew herself, Rei's heart belonged to another. Rei just wanted someone to be the way Mamoru was for Usagi. Rei has someone like that once, a lifetime ago.
Minako and Makoto watched the exchange from across the room.
"Are you okay Mako-chan?" Minako threw a worried glance at her friend. She knew better than any of the senshi what this was doing to them. As the senshi of love, Minako could feel the heartache of her friends. She felt their souls reaching for those no longer there. Her own soul longed for her only love, her true love.
"I don't understand this Minako. How could they have fallen? They walked by his side and yet they are not here. It's not fair! Why was he reborn and not them?" Makoto looked disconsolate. She tried so hard to cast a shadow on Usagi's special day. She did not begrudge Usagi. Makoto knew all the sacrifices Usagi made for Mamoru, for all of them. She deserved happiness. Makoto just wanted to know when it would be her turn.
