If you met her, you wouldn't think she'd be a queen one day. She's bubbly, excited, full of life... much like Serenity.

I guess that's why we love her so much. As the leader of the senshi, she knows almost everything that will happen to us in the future - only I know more then she does. To most, she is still a child. To me, she's everything I'd like to be.

Yes, the mighty senshi of Pluto wants to be like the Princess of Venus. To just feel something besides loneliness, for a few small seconds...

I'm connected to her more then I am with the others, even Hotaru-hime. We can tell what the other is feeling, even when I'm in the middle of space and time and she's on Earth. I know all of her feelings. I know when she's happy, when she's sad, when she's lonely...

When I want, I can even get into her mind and watch everything through her eyes. It's a wonderful escape for me.

To some, she is just a silly child. Only I know the entire truth. I feel her pain when she's crying, and I feel her happiness when's she's excited.

I alone realize how mature she really is. She just hides it.

You see, we were born at the *exact* same time, a thousand years apart. Except for the year, the time we were born - down to the nanosecond - is the exact same. That's why we have this bond.

Until she was born, I felt hollow and empty. When she was born, I almost collapsed because of the rush of feelings I felt.

If she dies, I'll die. I guess you could say she's my soul-mate... just without the love. I don't need anyone else but her to live. I'm perfectly happy living through her.

But what I wouldn't give to be there with her, face to face.

Fate is cruel.
