I'm not sure if I could exist without my friends even if sometimes we don't all get along. There's not a day that I remember when I wasn't friends with at least someone in my life. I never had trouble making friends, even with those who had trouble themselves. Sometimes though, I am sad that the friends of my childhood have become less close to me than the friends with whom I fight with against the various monsters that we've come across over the years. The fighting and the very real possibility of death had brought us closer to each other than anything else. When you put your life on the line for others…that just has the effect of making yourself closer to them.

Of course, I had put my life on the line for my childhood friends as well. We all have. The only thing is that my childhood friends never knew that it was me and my other friends that saved them. To them, we were the Sailor Senshi, people to be admired from afar and hardly ever thought of as possibly the girl who sits next to you in class, occasionally falling asleep or eating behind her English textbook.

But I'll always be there for them, regardless if they know the truth about me.

:D I was just thinking how Naru has to get saved WAY TOO OFTEN (someone should ask that question in the show: why does Naru always get targeted?), and this definitely shows how Usagi is always there for her.

Well, you are only near the end of the first season, so maybe they ask it later on? ;)

(Okay, okay, I do know when people start kinda noticing this in the anime.)

Just as long as someone does. It was really obvious when the jewelry store got attacked in the night when the Senshi were trying to trap the Dark Kingdom into thinking Sailor Moon had betrayed her friends. I couldn't believe they attacked Naru's mom's jewelry store, and no one thought, "Huh, hasn't she been attacked enough??"

Anyway... uh... rant over. I think.

Okay, actually, Naru herself also notices that weird stuff keeps happening around her. It's in the very first episode in season two.

Heh, lucky her. I can't remember if she ever learns Usagi's identity or not, but don't spoil that part for me. :) I'm just glad that someone's got a brain at some point. I think I'll go back to watching soon...
