# 57: Reality TV

"I'm a Senshi,"

Stunned Silence

"I wanted to tell you sooner, but I couldn't…now that we are engaged, you have a right to know…"

Dead Silence

"Aren't you going to say anything? I mean, you are a Shitennou, so it's not like you don't face your own share of battles."

Extended Period of Silence

"No, seriously…SAY SOMETHING!"

Hopelessly Silent

"JADEITE! QUIT STARING AND SAY SOMETHING!"

"You are Sailor Mars…you've been Sailor Mars all this time?"

"Is that all you have to say!!!"

"I've always loved your stilettos."

"JADEITE!"

"Wow... So ...that is why we never saw the Princesses and the Senshi at the same time. We were introduced to both of you separately... We fought you... We had all of those friendly tournaments. I attacked you. I…"

"Shhh…I attacked you too. And I enjoyed our battles."

"And Ami, Minako and Makoto…they are the other Senshi?"

"Yes they are."

"So where are the hidden cameras? Is this the new reality TV? Tell the fiancé that the future wife is a Senshi and see how the man handles it?"

Jadeite didn't want to admit it, but he was caught off guard. For once, he was truly speechless. Rei, on the other hand looked like she was about to transform into Sailor Mars right there and then and force him to say some meaningful words.

"Jade, be serious! There are no cameras; this is not a stupid trick."

"I believe you," Jadeite said earnestly.

"So, what do you think?" Rei said, backing down. "I mean, being a Senshi means more than just simple fighting. I represent Mars. I protect Serenity and the future of the Silver Millennium."

"And I am proud to be apart of that," Jadeite said. "We will be in this together. Once Endymion and Serenity are married, we will protect the future of the Silver Millennium."

"I'm glad that we will be in this together," Rei said.

"And I am proud of you for giving me the shock of my life."

"And you won't become overprotective when I have to go and fight?"

"Never. Now, do I get to see those stilettos up close?"

Annoyed silence

Tiny smack

Huge grin
