I feel like I've been locked up tight
For a century of lonely nights
Waiting for someone
To release me
Aino Minako walks down the halls of school, looking at all the girls running around giving boys chocolate. 'I hate Valentine's Day.' She sits in her desk and sighs. 'I wish I had someone to give chocolate to.' She reaches into her bag and pulls out a small bag of rainbow chocolates she had been carrying around and starts eating them herself.
You're licking your lips and blowing kisses my way
But that don't mean I'm gonna give it away
Baby, baby, baby
(Baby, baby, baby.)
"Hey, bay-bee! You goin' MY way?" She turns her head to stare across the street at the man who had cat-called her. 'He's not bad looking.' She smiles a carefree smile and calls back, "You wish!" The man and his friends get a chuckle out of this as she opens the door to the arcade, her arrival greeted by all the good-looking gamer guys who think of her as a little sister.
Oh whoa
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa
But my heart is saying no
Minako and her friends sit around a table, supposedly studying. "Hey, guys, did you see that new guy who works at the Crown? He was so HOTT," Kino Makoto exclaims. There is uttered agreement around the table, except the two blonde girls. One of them jumps up and exclaims, "As if I would be checking out guys! I have my Mamo-chan!" 4 pillows fly through the air and knock Tsukino Usagi on the ground. The second blonde sits there and sighs. "Mina-chan, is something wrong?" Minako looks up and sees the concern written on Mizuno Ami's face. She manages to force out a weak smile. "Yeah, I'm fine."
If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Gotta rub me the right way, honey
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out
She sits in the Crown, fiddling with her cup. A totally hot guy in an apron walks up and stands beside her. "What's a cute girl like you doing all alone here?" Minako looks up. "Oh, I'm just waiting for some friends." The hot guy smiles and indicates the seat beside her. "Well, then, mind if I keep you company? I'm on break right now." She shrugs and moves over a little. "Sure. I'm Aino Minako." "And I'm Smith Justin. I just moved here from America. Nice to meet you!" And their conversation continues, getting more pleasant by the moment.
The music's playing and the lights' down low,
One more dance and then we're good to go
Waiting for someone
Who needs me.
"Are you for REAL?!" Makoto's voice yells from over the phone. Minako giggles and flops down onto her bed. "HAI! It's so very true! He was so nice! I think I'm going to ask him out!" "You should! Wear that pretty red shirt Rei-chan got you for Christmas, it looks great on you. Plus, it matches your hair bow!" Minako was getting so excited. Maybe Justin would be her boyfriend! "I will! I think I'll do it tomorrow."
My heart is beating at the speed of light
But that don't mean it's gotta be tonight
Baby, baby, baby.
(Baby, baby, baby)
Minako takes a glance in the mirror. 'Ok. Red shirt, check. Black skirt, check. Rei-chan's read heels, check. Great make-up, check. Confident smile.' She beams at her reflection. "Check." She turns, grabs a beautiful red purse she borrowed from Usagi. All of her friends were going to be in the Crown to look on and for moral support. Even the Lights would be there. Of course, that was probably so Yaten could laugh at her if she totally fell on her face. She closed the door to her house and set off in the direction of the Crown.
Oh whoa
My body's saying let's go
Oh whoa
But my heart is saying no
Minako walked in the door and spied her friends in a corner booth in the back. She smiles as Usagi and Makoto flash her a thumbs-up, Rei and Ami nod, and Tennou Haruka, Chiba Mamoru and the Lights give her a once over. The last group all whistle their approval. Minako turns her back as she hears two thuds and identical "Ow, what was that for?"s issuing from Haruka, Mamoru, and their scandalized girlfriends. She takes this as a good sign.
If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true
Come and set me free, baby, and I'll be with you
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Gotta rub me the right way, honey
I'm a genie in a bottle, baby
Come, come, come and let me out
Minako strides up to the counter and leans over. "Hey, who's that hot guy serving those drinks?" Justin whips around and sees her smiling. "Oh, konnichiwa Minako-san! How are you today?" Minako sits up and continues to smile. "I'm fine, and how are you?" "Great, thanks for asking!" She leans back in and creases her face in an attractive frown. "I actually have another question for you." The waiter smiles and wipes his hands on a towel. "Well, you're in luck! It just so happens I was just about to go on my break!" He walks to the booth where the two of them had been sitting the day before. She flicks her eyes to her friends sitting in the back. Makoto and Rei are leaning forward, trying to hear their conversation. As they sit, Justin's cell phone rings. "Hang on a moment, please?" Minako nods and decides to turn her interest to tracing the patterns of the tablecloth as he speaks into the phone in English, a language she has never been able to understand.
Oh whoa...
My body's saying let's go.
Oh whoa...
But my heart is saying no.
He hangs up the phone and turns to the pretty young girl in front of him. "Gomen, that was my girlfriend. So, what did you want to ask me?" Minako's eyes widen in shock and she whispers, "D-daijobou. g-gomennasai, demo, I've forgotten what I was going to ask. Excuse me." She stands and leaves the restaurant, tears streaming down her face. 'I should have known.'
If you wanna be with me, baby, there's a price you pay.
I'm a genie in a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way.
If you wanna be with me, I can make your wish come true.
You gotta make a big impression, I gotta like what you do.
VENUS CRYSTAL POWER! A bright light flashes and Sailor Venus, the senshi of love, stands where Aino Minako had one second before. She leaps up and lands on the roof of the four story building she had been standing next to. She collapses on the roof and cries. 'What's the point of being the senshi of love, if I can't love myself?'

Come and set me free, baby, and I'll be with you.
Artemis's words come floating back to her as if in a dream. 'The princess of Venus gave up her right to love in order to protect it. Stop chasing around guys and focus on your training.' This makes her cry even harder; something she felt like doing for so long.
