Chapter 4: Revealed, Hidden, Unknown
--
Sailor Star Jinxer lay across her own bed, face up, staring at the ceiling. Her window curtains were open, letting blue and green light filter through.
It had been a day since she had told Hexer about her crush. Definitely by now everyone in the palace, including Christopher, would know she was in love with him. She hadn't talked to Hexer once today, with both of them being busy.
Muffled footsteps and whispering were outside of her bedroom door. Somebody knocked loudly and Sierra stepped inside. Jinxer didn't move.
" Hey. Can I talk to you?" Sierra asked softly, leaning against the doorframe.
" Might as well."
" I told Seiya, Taiki and Yaten not to tell anyone. Princess Kakyuu doesn't even know," said Sierra, lying down beside her best friend.
" Thanks," replied Jinxer, sighing in relief.
Sierra yawned, and put her hands behind her head. She eyed Jinxer's Sailor fuku.
" Trinity, are you going to detransform, or what?"
" Huh?" Jinxer craned her neck to look at her clothes. " Oh, yeah, I forgot."
In a flash of yellow light, she changed into a normal looking girl wearing a light, flowing dress.
" How come when Fighter and the others detransform, they turn into guys?" asked Trinity.
" Dunno, probably 'cause they like being guys. Although I don't see why," Sierra shrugged. Sierra was known for being a feminist. She had grown up surrounded by brothers and their friends, so as a little girl, she loved to do the things they did. But of course her brothers didn't want their little sister to hang around them, so they made fun of her.
Well, look at her now. Sierra could fight and do just about anything better than her bros. When Taiki, Yaten and Seiya came back from Earth, they told her all about the games and sports people played. Taiki had even built her something called a skateboard. It was pretty fun, being able to do tricks on a board. She was the first to have one, now it was a growing popularity. Although there weren't many places in the palace to practice, sometimes Sierra, along with Seiya, would sneak off outside of palace grounds to go into towns and just skate around. Kinmokians would often stare at her with their mouths open. She would laugh at them, thinking that girls could do whatever guys could, only better.
Not once in her life had Sierra met a guy besides Seiya and them that actually thought girls could do guy stuff. That's what she told Trinity anyway.
" Don't worry, you'll meet someone, and then you won't be able to say that anymore," teased Trinity, laughing. But she stopped, her face suddenly turning serious.
" Do you think that I would ever have a chance with Christopher?" she asked, turning her body towards Sierra, propping her head up with her elbow.
" Are you kidding? Trin, you are the most fun person here, well besides me and Seiya… but you're so positive, you're a good listener, a good person, and you are no doubt the best dancer and prettiest person I have ever met!" Sierra was not joking.
With her long silky blonde hair that was so light in color it was practically white, dancer's body, and the most enchanting deep gold eyes ever, Trinity was gorgeous. Practically all of the palace guards were in love with her, yet she never noticed.
" Thanks for the compliment, Ra, you're the best," said Trinity, hugging Sierra madly. " I think I'm going to take a walk in the garden. Want to come?"
" Nah." Sierra shook her head, her auburn hair falling into her eyes. Brushing them way, she got up and headed for the door. " Think I'll take a trip around town."

Seiya walked around the royal palace, bored out of his mind. Taiki was busy reading and Yaten was off primping his hair. As he rounded a corner, he bumped into somebody, and that person fell down with a loud " Oof!"
It was Sierra, her hazel eyes glaring up at him. Wordlessly, he reached out a hand to help her up. She " harrumphed" and ignored his hand, getting up by herself. Seiya raised an eyebrow at her.
" Sorry."
' Odango didn't want my help either, when she tripped on that soda can…" He began to laugh at the memory. The girl standing in front of him gave Seiya an odd glance.
" What's up with you?"
He started coughing, trying to erase the memory.
" N-nothing. So, what do you want?"
Sierra gave him another look, but decided to forget about it.
" Wanna go skateboarding?"
Well, it wasn't like Seiya had anything else to do, and it was quite fun to sneak past the palace guards and ride around the crowded streets.
" Sure."
They started walking down the hall towards Seiya's room, where their boards were held.
" You really like this Usagi girl don't you?" asked Sierra bluntly.
" Yeah. I do."
" I don't get it. Why do you fall in love with a girl that loves someone else? Why cause yourself so much pain?"
" I didn't plan on falling in love with her! I really didn't. It just… sort of happened."
By now they had reached Seiya's room. He opened the door, and Sierra was the first to enter.
His room was relatively messy, with clothes flung randomly around, and the occasional piece of food. On his dresser was a picture of a smiling Usagi Tsukino.
Walking over to his closet and flinging it open, a pile of stuff tumbled out onto Seiya.
Grunting, he pulled himself out from a bunch of Earth stuff- there was a basketball, a baseball set, a football, some hockey and lacrosse stuff, some more random things and finally, Sierra's and his own skateboards. He threw one towards Sierra, who caught it easily.
Her skateboard was laminated in pictures of her and her friends. Seiya's consisted of a dark blue background, dotted with little stars.
" Ready?" came Sierra's voice, a grin on her face.
" Let's go."

All of the Inner Senshi, plus the Outer Senshi gathered around the a deserted children's playground.
Minako sat on one of the swings, slightly pushing her feet back and forth to make the swing move. Usagi sat in the other swing, not moving at all. Haruka was fuming at them, as usual.
" What the hell is up with you, Minako?! This is our destiny!"
Fatigue rushed through Minako's body, before it was replaced with anger.
" No, it is not 'our destiny'! This is Usagi's destiny! We're just here for the ride! I know my destiny! My destiny is duty! All I'm ever good for is duty! DUTY IS THE REASON I'M ALONE FOR THE REST OF MY FUCKING LIFE!!" shouted Minako. Never had she ever screamed at her friends this much in such a short time.
" Well, we can't get what we want all the time!"
" That's because you have everything you want, Haruka! You have a princess that's safe, a bright future, you have Michiru!" At the mention of her name, Michiru blushed, and Haruka softened the glare she was giving the younger girl.
" I'm not like you, Haruka! Just because you're happy with this destiny doesn't mean that I am!" Minako burst out. Her hands grabbed onto the metal of the swings tightly, her feet dug into the sand.
Usagi felt bad. Minako didn't tell her that she felt this way. But the truth was, she agreed with Minako. She wasn't happy with her destiny either.
" I don't like the future either," Usagi said, looking down at her lap.
" WHAT?!" was the response she got. Usagi flinched, knowing that this was going to happen yet was still unprepared for it.
" WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Haruka nearly grabbed Usagi by the shoulders to shake some sense into her princess.
" I-I don't think I love Mamoru anymore…"

THE END.
