            gTheyfre different from us.h Whitney sighed, as she took another lick of her ice cream cone. gI canft believe they attacked Princess Ashline!h

            gI can.h Misty said slowly.

            gOf course you would! You mallet her when she messes up!h

            gThatfs not it!h The senshi of Mars snapped. gI know becausec Ifve seen things, in the sacred fire.h

            gReally?h Venus spoke. Mercury and Jupiter and their Princess were still at cram school, but they were free.

            gIfm not sure I should tell you thoughch

            gAw come on, Misty! Quit being serious for once!h

            Misty stuck her tongue out at Whitney, but sighed. gYou know how Lance is Neptune and Red is Uranus, and how in the Silver Millennium, their duties were different from ours?h

            gTo guard the borders of the Solar System and not the Princess? Yes.h Whitney nodded. gThey still stay aloof even nowc and they refused to fight with usch

            gAnd they tried to kill Saturn.h Mars agreed. gBut that was their duty.h

            Whitney chewed on her lip for a second, pondering. gI suppose so.h She said grudgingly.

            gI think the Outer Senshi are very devoted to what they must doc almost too much.h Misty sighed. gIn any case, have you ever wondered about the wings?h

            gOh, yes, and the armor, but I thought it was just uniform variations.h Whitney grinned. gHow do you think Ifd look with wings?h

            gFluffy orange ones might be funny. But Ifm getting off-topic. Red has wings because she was born with them. The otherfs are all grafted.h

            gAll of them?h Janine had the cutest little dragonfly wingsc

             gYes, and for Lance and Charlottec theyfre replacements. Lance is Neptune. Itfs a watery planet, all underwater. What would she need with wings? She had fins once, but Ashline cut them off by accident.h

            Whitneyfs jaw dropped. gYoufre kidding. No wonder she hates Princess Ashline.h

            gIfm not. Itfs the same reason Red hates her.h

            gWell, I thought it was jealousy for a bit, but Red really loves Lance, ne?h

            gMm.h

            gI wish someone would love me like that.h Whitney sighed. gAnd Charlotte?h

            gHer original ones were torn off in the time stream long ago, when she was forced to kill someone.h

            gOuch!h

            gSo Queen Delia made her new wings of ruby, but theyfre sealing magic, Whitney. Ifm frightened that someday, we may gain their wings and be sealed tooch

            gAshline wouldnft do that to us, would she?h

            gI donft knowch Misty sighed. gItfs my duty to guard her, and I am her friend, but sometimes, I wish I had never become Mars.h

            gAnd I wish I had never been Venus.h Whitney hugged Misty. gItfs all right. Soon, the advent of Crystal Tokyo will be here, and everything will be perfect.h

            Misty could only hope so.

 

            Lance set down her Deep Aqua Mirror. gA schism in the Inner Court would be to our advantage.h

            Janine laughed. gDid you use Amnesia on her, Father?h

            Charlotte chuckled. gNo. I simplyc let Misty alone of all the others regain a few of her buried memories. A snake in the nest is very useful.h

            Red winked as she hugged Lance. gI wish Crystal Tokyo would not comech

            gSo do we all. We can only hope it is as pure and pristine as it seemsc and hope that no one sees the torture underneathch

            The Outer Senshi had no illusions.
