Dreams Do Come True

Life with Rei Hino

Going to separate schools helps Usagi relax. Unknown to any of the Inner
scouts their fearless leader has been taking some college courses to help her
ready for being queen. In addition, she is going to a private Gymnastic club for
some time, with the money left over from the bills Usagi bought a lifetime
membership.

The reason she has detention so much is that it is when she gets her "Extra
homework" from Mrs. Haruna's husband; he is a professor from a local college.
From "detention,” she goes to practice.

Because of her always being late the other scouts, mostly the inners thought
her lazy, a klutz, and a ditz. The scouts punished Usagi for being late. A few
times, they would change into their Scout forms and punish her with their
weapons... Bubble Blast, Burning Mandela, Lovely Chain, or Rose Shocking. Makato
would never use her powers but she would use her strength to bruise Usagi
badly.

The outers, after Galaxia was gone, left to explore their own fantasies
around the world.

Usagi was used to the weekly beatings and would normally go to bed bruised
and awaken healed to a point. She never retaliates cause she believes that they
are still her friends and refuses to fight back to hurt them.

At night when she would meet up with Trenton, she would dream herself in
clothing covering the bruises and hope that he would not see them. Trenton
noticed that Bunny was hiding stuff from him...One night after a very severe
beating Bunny forgot to project the correct clothing and Trenton saw the bruises
and the marks.

"BUNNY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" he yelled in concern and ran up to inspect the
bruising.

"Nothing... nothing at all" whispers Bunny.

"This" shouts Trenton pointing marks on her body "is not NOTHING!"

Wincing back from his yelling Bunny starts to cry, "My friends, my
protectors...They think I am not fit for the Crown and wish to beat me until I
give in to them. But I won’t, even if I can not turn into Sailor Moon
anymore."

"What do you mean you can not turn into Sailor Moon?" asks Trenton
quietly.

"Not long after my parents died, we had a youma...but I could not change. I
tried to explain it to the girls but they would have nothing to do with me.
After another 3-4 attacks, I decided to burry my locket with my parents. So now
the girls are wondering where the crystal is, and I won’t tell them."

Smiling down at Bunny, "That's my hyper bunny, don't let them get what they
want till they treat you right.” Trenton says.

Trenton continues to hold Bunny in his arms through out the night. Wishing he
could help her in anyway, knowing that he cannot. "Please, Bunny, if you can,
doesn’t give them cause to harm you. I cannot stand to see you hurt. If I could
I would bring you with me to protect you from their harsh ways.” Trenton
whispers, "But if worse comes, please...protect you."

Nodding Bunny, “I will try, but they will not get the crystal from me. If
it’s the last thing I do...” Her words fade out as snores replace
them.
