They created a small, cramped circle around me as they removed their charms, changing back into their formal dresses.
I nodded again.
"Since when?!" Alicia asked.
"4 months now," I replied. "I spent the last 3 weeks trying to find you guys."
"Celestial told her that she suspected that I was hiding something from her," Ashley added.
They stared at her and then at me.
"Celestial?" Cassie repeated.
I nodded simply.
"Isn't that your cat?" Miranda asked.
I smirked. "Yeah. She talks."
"Like Luna, Artemis, and Diana," she listed. "Does she turn into a Scout?"
I nodded again. "Sailor Celestial."
"Cool," Michaela commented. "We need all the help we can get."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Especially now since the Negaverse is getting stronger and stronger everyday," Jessica pointed out.
There was some awkward silence between us and I caught Ashley and Miranda glancing at me and to each other every once in a while, letting me know that something was up. I folded my arms and shifted my weight to onto my right leg. "Something you guys need to tell me, Ash and Randa?"
They quickly looked at me and stared, looking at bit nervous.
"No," they said in unsion and a little to quick.
I cocked an eyebrow. "Out with it."
"Well, since you told us your little secret," Ashley started, looking at Miranda.
I followed her.
"Then we figure it's only fair we tell you another one we've been hiding," she finished. "Or he's hiding."
My eyebrows narrowed in confusion as did the others.
"What are you guys talking about?" Michaela asked. I looked at her.
"Tuxedo Mask."
I quickly looked back at Ash and Randa. "What about him?"
"Do you know who he is?" Ashley asked.
I shook my head slowly. "Should I?"
She shrugged. "Depends on how you look at it."
I nodded slowly, telling them to go on.
"It's Alex," Miranda finished.
I stared her, a little bit taken back at first. "Alex?"
She nodded slightly.
"Alex Langley?"
She nodded again but this time, with more confidence.
"Is that why you guys are so close now?"
She nodded. "Yup. He's my future husband. Future King of Crystal Tokyo."
I nodded. "Well, then congrats, I guess?"
She laughed causing all of us to laugh. What am I seriously suppossed to say to that?
"We better get back," Liz suggested. "The guys are probably wondering where we are."
"Yeah, we should," I agreed, leading the way back. As we walked back, the others went into deep conversation about how to defeat the Negaverse but my mind was on something else. And someone else. Okay, so I've told my girls who I really am and they're cool with it but now comes the hard part: telling Alex. Like I said before, he's like my big brother and like a big brother he doesn't want me to get hurt and fighting evil counts unfortunately. He's always worries about me, even when he found out that I like Jacob. He's trying to persuade me that I don't see the real him, that he's really a player but that's his problem. I like Jacob and to me, there's nothing wrong with him. I don't feel the same way Alex does about him. But I actually feel like there's something more to it than just me liking him. And again, it's just like that bad gut feeling about King Galaxy. It told me that me liking him was going to come out good in the end but it wasn't going to be a happy ending.
"Carrie?" someone sang.
I shook my head and stared straight ahead, finding Ashley walking backwards and staring at me. "What?"
"You OK?" she asked, walking beside me now. "You haven't talked since we left the park.
I stopped and faced her. She did the same. I stared at her and then glanced at my surroundings. I didn't know we had arrived until I saw the other girls walking back into the building. Without looking at her, I repsonded back. "Just thinking about some things."
"Wanna tell what those things are?" she insisted as we started walking again.
I half-smiled, shaking my head and not looking at her. "Nah. It doesn't concern you."
We got in and we were practically tackled by the estatic guys.
"Did you see that?!" Aaron exclaimed, handling me with his hands on my both of my shoulders. "That was awesome!"
"What was?" I asked, looking at the other guys.
"Don't tell us you missed it!" Harrison and Logan said. "Didn't you see those hot girls in short skirts that saved everyone?!"
I looked at Ashley and we rolled our eyes in unison as we started walking away from them with the other girls following us. They guys of course, did so as well.
"It was tight!" Aaron added.
I looked at Alex and the voices faded away. He didn't seem too excited cause well, he's Tuxedo Mask. He knows who's who. Except for me...
I pulled away from the others and walked close to Alex. "You OK?"
"Yeah," he said. "I thought they were alright."
I smirked, deciding that I should probably tell him now. I had the courage now and I wasn't sure if I would ever have it again. If I would, it would probably won't be until a long time from now. "Even Sailor Moon...Tuxedo Mask?"
He jerked his head towards me. "How d-"
"I'm Sailor Galaxia, protector of the Universe."
Sorry if you're getting a little old of that line cause I am too but don't worry. I'm pretty sure that is the last time you'll have to read until it gets to the near which is like maybe 20 or 30 chapter away...
