Note: Okay, I really love Mamoru in the manga and everything, but I can't really write a usagi/trunks fic without breaking up Usagi and Mamoru, can I? So I decided that Setsuna had a relationship with Endymion BEFORE Endymion and Serenity met. THAT way, Endymion never betrayed Serenity. Got it?

Prologue: In Dreams

Everyone believed that the Princess of the Moon and the Prince of Earth were forever destined to be together, but sometimes, everyone forgets that we choose our own destinies. It's true that the Golden Crystal's shine is almost as brilliant as that of the Silver Crystal's shine, but it is not unique. In fact, each planet's prince is born with a shining crystal compatible with that of the Silver Crystal's shine. Call it the gods' way of making sure the royal bloodlines stayed royal so that the royals would retain enough power to protect their people, because magic and power were carried in the blood. Although the Silver Crystal's holder could indeed fall in love with a much lesser shine, a bond would not be able to be formed. Only a prince's shine could compare to that of the Silver Crystal, and even then it would not be any brighter.

Tsukino Usagi felt her heart was being torn to pieces. As if an iron fist was squeezing the life out of her chest. Why had she never seen it? Chibi- Usa's eyes..red eyes..Setsuna's eyes. She had seen the love between them, but she had been too blind to see the kinship. She had come to Setsuna with her suspicions, and had been surprised when Setsuna admitted that Chibi-Usa was, indeed, her child. Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo-King Endymion didn't know. Setsuna had been in love with Endymion during the Silver Millenium, long before Endymion and Serenity met. Setsuna felt bitter when Endymion chose a mere child of fourteen over her, and yet, she could not hate the Princess with her heartwarming glow, so Setsuna had stayed quiet. And when Setsuna found that she was pregnant with Endymion's child, she sent the child into the womb of the Neo-Queen. Why else had Chibi-Usa taken so long to grow? The time-guardians all are blessed with eternal youth.

Usagi knew she shouldn't feel this way. It's not as if Mamoru OR Endymion had cheated on her. It was foolish to think that Endymion never had a relationship before Serenity, but she couldn't help but feel betrayed. How could she love a man with another woman's child? One she had believed to be her own?

Usagi ran. She ran as hard and as fast as she could. She ran in a blind fury, arms protecting her eyes from the dust being flung at her eyes by the wind. She ran until she could run no more. Then she slowly walked back to her house and into her bed, still in her school uniform and wearing her shoes. She pulled the covers tightly around her and fell asleep, tears mingling with sweat.

Usagi felt herself being shaken awake.

"Excuse me. Excuse me, miss? Daijoubu-ka? Miss?"

Usagi opened here eyes and was met by another pair of brilliant blue eyes.

"Who are you?" she asked

"Watashi wa Briefs Trunks." He answered.

Usagi gave him a funny look.

"Oh.I'm just a stranger, I wouldn't have bothered you, but I thought you might have been in trouble, seeing as how you were asleep on the forest floor."

"NANI?!?"

Usagi just happened to realize that she was NOT in her bed, she was NOT in her room, and she certainly was NOT in any place that she found remotely familiar.

"Umm..miss?" Trunks asked timidly, a slight blush gracing his cheeks. This woman was beautiful with hair that seemed to be spun of gold and brilliant blue eyes. However, he did find it extremely odd that a woman would be asleep in the middle of a forest floor. Though it was not as odd as the rushing feeling of immense power that suddenly dropped down to nothing after this woman appeared.

Suddenly, the woman began to fade. Trunks could see right through her and he immediately started to panic. This must be why her power level was dropping, she was fading out of existence! Before Trunks could do anything, she was gone and Trunks flew to Capsule Corp to warn the others about a possible threat.

Usagi woke up in her bed, the sun in her eyes. 'What a funny dream,' Usagi thought to herself, 'But if felt so real.'
