	The world flashed around her as the circular motion of the wind caused 
her long, silky green hair to billow out around her. Her dark, chocolate 
coloured eyes, normally alert and open, skeptically analyizing everything and 
everyone around her, were now closed, casting a serene and peaceful look on 
her features. Her tall, svelte body, normally tense and rigid, was now 
carefree and loose as she spunaround in circles. Long muscular arms covered 
in black gloves were in outstreched in the air, palms open and facing up. Next 
to her black boots, a gaudy red fan lay on the ground. 
	<<Here are my worries,>> she imagined holding the worried in the air, 
placing them one by one in her open palms. 
	<<Here are my worries about Dimando and Saffiru, the Wiseman's 
suspicious ways. Here are the worries about my planet, here are my worries 
about the war.>>

	I remembered how my mother would tell me, when I was a small girl, 
"Esme-chan, if you ever feel that your worries and feelings are getting to be 
too much, gather all your negative feelings and thoughts into your hands and 
*spin*. Then they will be free." Her voice, my lovely okasan's voice, echoed 
through my head. 
	I spun, feeling the emotions and worries fly out of me, away and into 
the warm summer air, cleasing and purifying me. I felt myself becoming free 
again, I felt free, I felt whole, I felt-
	*Snap!* A twig behind me snapped loudly and I opened my eyes and 
slowed my spinning to a quick stop. If Saffiru, or - God forbid- Dimando had 
found me, I could never live it down. My long green hair billowed down past me, 
surrounding my elegant features. I looked over at the tresspasser on my 
private moment, cheeks flaming with embarrassment. 
	A blonde girt with a red bow stood there, smiling at me.
	I immediatley recognized Senshi Venus in civilian form. Her smile was, 
strargly enough, warm and understanding. 
	"I never though the enemy could be so much like me." Her soft voice 
broke through the uncomfortable silence. 
	"You spin too?" I asked, almost child-like and quickly shut my mouth 
after realizing what I'd just said. 
	"Hai. Sometimes I feel so trapped, with my duties and all, so I come 
here, to the rose gardens, to spin." She blushed, and it was my turn to smile. 
	"I know what you mean, Aino-san." I looked around, and realizing that I 
was indeed in a rose garden, the elegant flowers in full bloom, surrounded by 
the masses of green leaves. 
	At this point, I felt the psychic summoning of my prince. 
	"Esmeraude!"
	I sighed, a long and reluctant sigh. 
	"Gomen ne, Minako-san, but I must go back.... Dimando...." I trailed off, 
and then smiled at her sadly. "Enjoy your freedom and youth while you have 
it." I inhaled on last breath of the sweet, clean Earth air, the smell of wet 
roses tickling my senses. I then picked up my fan and vanished, while smiling 
at the lone Senshi. In my mind's eye, I saw an image of a black room with 
rosebushes on the sides, and in the middle, me spinning, hair billowing, and a 
happy smile on my relaxed face. 
	"Goodbye, my freedom."
