Minako-chan:
Ai No Senshi

Perhaps you believe that I see you as a child…

Perhaps you may even believe that I have never taken you seriously, that I am always teasing and toying with your feelings.

Please do not blame me when I seem to be always laughing at you. It is only because I find you a rare one, as silly as Odango Atama and as funny as the little monkey you became when your heart crystal was taken.

There are times, though, when you make me nervous. Usually it is something as innocent as the question: "Do you not feel that you want to be a normal school girl?"

You did not notice when you asked about wanting normal happiness that I became closed and distant to you, the way I usually am when I am SailorUranus.

Please excuse my aloofness on these occasions. I have been too used to being too serious that I was taken aback at your show of innocence. I have been too suspicious and cynical for so long that I have forgotten how it is to be as refreshingly idealistic as you are.

Never despair that your heart is not as pure as the hearts of the others. Your beauty and purity lies beneath your air of naiveté. It is that treasure that shines and makes you deserving to be called Ai No Senshi.

We may not seem serious with you, we being older and you being one of the youngest among the Senshi.

We may seem to be always amused at your antics and penchant for putting yourself into unnecessary trouble.

We may seem to be cold-hearted, unlistening, unapproving old matrons to you…and sometimes you have to struggle in order to make your point be seen by the rest of my Outer group. We acknowledge that difficulty, that pain and insecurity in you that you hide behind the silliness and the monkey-like attitude.

But you are still what you are, even Setsuna-san have seen the brilliance in you. Never sell yourself short. If you were not a senshi worthy of admiration, you would not have been appointed leader. Always remember that. You are Ai No Senshi.
