"Endymion!"
The young prince in the battle armor rushed to save his princess from the evil monster.
"Help me, my love!"
The Moon had been invaded by an evil force. No one knew where it had come from.
Prince Endymion tried and tried to kill the monster but at each blow he was unsuccessful.
Finally, the princess flew out of the monster's arms and was floating toward a bright light.
"Serenity! SERENITY! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" 
Endymion grabbed onto Serenity's dress and tried to stop her...but it was all in vain.
Serenity was killed by the monster.

"Ring! Ring!"
Chiba Mamoru woke up, his face in a cold sweat.
"I was having that dream again," he thought. "The one where Serenity...I'd rather not 
think of it."
Mamoru looked at the picture frame beside his bed.
It was a picture of him and his beloved Tsukino Usagi, arms embraced around each other.
"That picture was of me...and her..." Mamoru thought. "Before everything happened..."

A few days ago, there had been a fierce battle between the Sailor Soldiers and Chaos.
The Soldiers had lost.
When Mamoru received the news, he was heartbroken-his beloved had died.

Mamoru still cried when he thought of that letter he had received. 
It was in the dorm, he remembered.
He was just getting ready to go to a party when all of a sudden, the principal had called 
him to his office and had given him the letter.
He opened it immediately.
And when he got to the part where it said "I am sorry that Tsukino Usagi has passed 
away," he felt tears creeping in his eyes.
He excused himself, saying he had to go to the bathroom.
But really, he hid in the closet the whole time, sobbing and crying for his beloved.

But that was the past, and this was now. So Mamoru went down to class, tears stung in his 
eyes as he remembered the final sentence in the dream:

"Goodbye, Endymion. I'll be with you...forever...even when the Moon is gone, I shall stay 
with you...always."
