I dreamed that I was at school when a guy ran inside acting weird. I somehow knew that he intended to blow the place up with bombs. I screamed and saw right after that, another guy come racing in wearing a white mask, black tuxedo, black cape, black shoes, and a black top hat. At first I believed it was Tuxedo Mask but then I realized it was the guy that had saved me in other dreams. When he got next to me, I was teleported away from the school.
I found myself in my Princess form. I had been teleported to a planet called Glenn. I somehow just knew the name. It was beautiful. It was sort of like Earth . . . but no . . . it was unlike Earth . . . too beautiful to be Earth. I saw no one walking around, no people bustling about like on Earth. There was no one; silence. The only thing I could hear was my footsteps and I had to listen quite carefully to hear them. Sand. Beautiful sand. My slippered feet sank softly into it. I walked forward like I was being led somewhere.
I saw up ahead a beautiful palace made entirely of sand, a real palace! Not a child's little sand castle on the beach, but a real life size sand palace! It was not an elegant castle but a fortress. I entered the palace and found to my surprise that it was furnished like a normal castle would be and the only evidence of it being a sand castle was the walls. They were tan with sand particles glimmering like gold here and there in the soft light. I particularly remember seeing a small end table made of dark wood sitting right up against the wall. On it was a white vase filled with pretty flowers and under it was an ornate white cloth. Also on the table was something gold but I didn't stop to study it so I don't know what it was. The floor was covered with rich scarlet carpeting and I saw stairs covered with the same. The stair railings appeared to be gilt. The mixture of gold and scarlet made the palace look very rich and elegant.
I still saw and heard no one, nothing. I continued walking as though being led somewhere. I entered a huge room, what appeared to be a throne room. It was grander than any of the other rooms I had been in. I saw to my surprise and delight, crystals suspended in midair! They were silver, yellow, green, gold, purple, blue, orange, red, and clear. They were just hovering in the air. I stood completely still and stared with wonder at them. They seemed to be alive. They began to gather around me and swirl around me, dazzling me with their brilliant array of colors. None of the crystals left the room. They all just hovered about me as if they wanted to know who I was or greet me in some way.
Then, suddenly, the most beautiful crystal I have ever seen appeared. When it did, all of the other crystals gathered and formed two straight lines so that the beautiful rainbow crystal could "walk" down the aisle they had formed. The crystals in the lines were suddenly absolutely still. The rainbow crystal hovered and then glided down the aisle they had formed. It stopped right in front of my face--only about 2 inches away from it--and began to twirl so that light played off of each of its facets in such a way that every color you can possibly imagine radiated from it. I was absolutely transfixed by it! I held out my right hand on impulse and the crystal backed away from my face and floated into my hand. When it touched my hand, it seemed to open just like a flower and it took on the shape of a water lily while retaining all of its reflective properties. It just sat in my hand and I stared at it with awe. It was so lovely!
Then, I heard something. I looked up from the crystal and searched the room with my gaze for the source of the sound. I saw a long red carpet and at the opposite end of the room, I saw a throne. The throne was made of crystal--solid silver crystal. There was someone sitting on that throne. I held the rainbow crystal gingerly in both of my hands and walked tentatively toward the throne because I was afraid. Whoever ruled there must have a lot of power to have such strange crystals floating around. Was it an enemy? Someone that would hurt or even kill me? I wondered vaguely if the rainbow crystal had any power that might protect me.
I heard a voice that I recognized say, "What took you so long?" I was shocked. I searched the room quickly and found no one but the guy on the throne to be in the room with me. The guy on the throne rose slowly and started down the red carpet. His long white cape swished around his legs, which were encased in gold armor, as he walked. I stepped back and almost fell. I turned swiftly and started to run from the room. The rainbow crystal transformed back into its former shape and quickly floated out of my hands. I was in mid-run when the man grabbed my arm. I gasped but was too frightened to scream. I was so terrified that my legs did not want to hold me anymore and I just sank to the floor in a heap of lavender skirts. I could do nothing but look up into the face of my captor. I found myself looking into the face of the guy that I would later know as Tuxedo Knight.
He let go of my arm and considered me for a moment as though he believed I had lost my mind. Then he said somewhat coldly, "Well? Are you going to get up or are you just going to lie there?" I stood up and said nothing in reply. He said sincerely after a pause, "I didn't mean to scare you." I said angrily, "Why didn't you TELL me you were going to teleport me here?! I've never even heard of this planet!" He said quietly with frost in his tone, "You know this planet though. You know the name of it and everything. Don't lie to me." I said tartly, "Yes! I know the name of this planet and everything but I don't know HOW I know that! You did it, didn't you?" He said stiffly, "Yes . . . I did. When you teleported, you automatically got that knowledge." I asked, "Why did you teleport me here?" He frowned and said, "I wanted to tell you something so I teleported you here." I said, "Why didn't you teleport to June?" He frowned even more and said with hurt in his voice, "I thought you might like to know where I lived." I said, "That was very thoughtful of you but the whole experience scared me half to death." He said stiffly, "Well, you're here now so get over it." I frowned and said, "That's not like you. What's so important?"
Just then the rainbow crystal floated into his hand and I pointed at it and said with awe, "What is that?" He said as he stared at the crystal in his hand, "Oh. I see you like it. It is a . . . um . . . I don't really know what it is." I asked, "Why did it turn into that flower shape when it touched my hand earlier? It's not doing that now." He said, "I don't know. I'd never seen it do that before either. I was just as surprised as you were when it did that. See if it will do it again." I held out my hand like I had done earlier and it floated into my hand. As soon as it touched it, it transformed into the water lily shape again. He shrugged and said, "Maybe it likes women. There are usually no women on this planet. I don't know how these crystals got here. They were here before me." I asked, "Well, does this crystal have any power?" He sighed slightly and said, "I don't know. I just sit on my throne and watch the crystals float around. I would think that the rainbow crystal would have the most power if they had any."
I asked more gently, "What did you want to tell me?" He frowned and said, "I don't want to tell you but I have to." I said, "Well, tell me." He walked back to the crystal throne and sat down. I noticed that the throne had a very high back to it and that it was encrusted with diamond-shaped faceted citrines, even along the front of the arms. He ran his fingers through his auburn bangs with frustration and said, "I want to tell you a story about me and this planet and the other people." I asked, "What other people?" He said in a pleading tone with his eyes shut, "Be quiet. Right now, you and I are the only people on this planet, okay? I mean it. My generals are all away on missions." I said skeptically, "Okay. If you say so." He said as he opened his eyes, "I am the Prince of Glenn although I am sure you have already figured that out." He continued after a pause, "There are people following you and I don't like it. Why can't you just stay here? Then, I would be at peace. No one could harm you here with me."
I said, "I can't stay here. This planet is beautiful and everything but this place gives me the creeps! This planet is strange." He said softly as he seemed to look past me, seeing something that only he could see, "You'd learn to love it. You don't have to do anything. You can just sit with me and watch the crystals." I said, "I love gems and crystals but it's too lonely here. Where are all the people?" He said, "I told you. They are all on missions. I was the only one here before I brought you here." I said, "Why don't you come back to June with me? It's nice there. You like it there. You told me so. Please . . . . I don't like to think of you here all by yourself. What if someone attacks Glenn?" He replied, "I could just teleport somewhere else." I said, "No. Come back to June with me." He said, "No. You stay here. I have a whole planet to rule. I can't just leave." I said, "Who are you ruling? I don't see anyone. Come to June with me." He said firmly, "No."
I turned and was about to leave when he said, "My home is here just as your home is there. I can't just leave Glenn. I'm sorry. I see now that you can't leave June. It was wrong of me to teleport you here in the first place. Go." I turned back around and asked softly, "Why won't you come back?" He said quietly and bitterly, "I can't change my life. I can only live it." I began to cry as I said, "Please! Come back to Earth, to June, somewhere!" He said very gently, "Go back to June. You can't stay here. It's not supposed to be like this." I said as I fought to stop crying, "I don't want to go back! I can't stay here but I don't want to go back! I don't want to leave you! Please! Don't make me leave!" He said, "I wasn't supposed to bring you to Glenn in the first place. I thought you wanted to go back." I said, "I don't want to, I have to . . . ." He said, "Go then."
I asked softly, "When will I see you again?" He said tenderly, "I'm not God. I don't know." I said shakily, hoping it was not true, "What if I never see you again?" He said, avoiding my eyes, "Well, maybe that's the way it should be." I thought out loud, "I don't even know how to get back . . . ." He said, "Just teleport." I said, "No. I can't do that by myself. I need the other Sailors to teleport. How could you bring me here? I didn't know you had that kind of power." He said rather bitterly, "Well, I guess I do. Take the rainbow crystal with you. It might just help you if you are ever in trouble." I smiled faintly and said, "Can you teleport me back to June?" He said, "Yes. I can and I will. Be careful."
Then, there was a flash of light and I was suddenly in a field of flowers--flowers with lavender crystal petals. I was on the planet June. I started sobbing while clutching some of the crystalline flowers to my chest. I began to cry "NO!" over and over again in anguish. Then, I woke up on Earth.
