Author's note: This continues the series of first person POV
stories involving the sailor senshi that I have started. I own
nothing but my own words and my take on the characters others
have created.

I am worried about the team. No one else seems to be worried,
but it's my job. We all follow our princess, but I'm the
leader. I'm worried about this relationship between Ami and
Makoto. They haven't admitted anything yet, but it is really
obvious that they are an 'item' now. Maybe I'm the only one who
sees it because of who I am, of what I represent.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy for both of them. They both
suddenly seem at peace. It's just that love isn't our first
concern. Our primary responsibility has to be to protect the
Moon Princess, not just because we love Usagi completely, but
because she represents the salvation of everything. We have all
died for her. We must all be willing to again. Will Ami and
Makoto be willing to sacrifice the lives of each other to save
Usagi? They have to be.
It's kind of ironic, the 'goddess of love' concerned because two
of her very best friends are in love. I should be happy for
them. Maybe I'm just jealous. A long time ago, one of the bad
guys told me that my love would always be hopeless, that I'd
never escape from my duty. Maybe I'm upset because Ami and
Makoto have found a way to marry love and duty. We've all known
for awhile now that we'll be together forever. Maybe if they've
found a way, the rest of us can, too.
I wonder sometimes if it could ever be possible for one of us to
love someone truly who wasn't part of our 'circle.' I mean,
love is about shared experiences, common bonds, two people
sharing their lives together. I see some boy on TV or at school
and think, 'wow, he's hot,' but can I really see myself spending
eternity with some hot boy? Thinking someone is cute is not
love. Love is like what I have with my friends, but deeper.
Just last week, I spent the night over at Rei's house. Usagi and
her family were on vacation and Ami and Makoto made excuses not
to come over. (Now I know why!) Rei and I just spent the whole
night talking, doing each other's hair, watching TV and reading
together. We even went out for a walk in the garden underneath
the stars. I remember standing there next to her and thinking
that I could spend my entire life just like that. I think that's
love.
None of this solves the problem though. I'm not even sure there
is a problem. I'll just have to talk to Ami and Makoto about it
directly. Besides, once the cat is out of the bag there's no way
to get it back into the stable! Then, I can tease them non-stop!
It serves them right for being so kawaii!
