"Mars-sama?"

The battle had been easy and Mars and Venus were preparing to rejoin the others when they heard the awe-struck voice. The little girl was staring with open adoration.

"Can I have your autograph?"

A fan? Surprise gave Mars pause. Not Venus. She shoved Mars aside by the face. "Who should I make it out to?"

The little girl yanked the card away. "Just Mars-sama. But thank you, Sailor Mercury!"

Mars nearly hugged the girl as she steered her away from the timebomb that was Venus. "For that," she told her biggest fan, "you can have a picture, too."
