Max's P.O.V.

I was waiting for the girls and Larry to meet me at the park today. We were going to go over what we know and also discuss Lady Willow's mysterious appearance and possible identity.

While I waited, I let my thoughts wander... wander a bit too much. Now I'm having one of those memory things...

"Donovan, if you really think someone's targeting Estelle, why not tell us why you think that or who told you so?" the Rafael guy asked apprehensively.

"I told the princess already. Such a shame you weren't there. It was a vision that informed me." the other guy, Donovan, spat back.

"Boys, please," Estelle said. But Rafael wasn't quitting yet.

"Or maybe YOU are the one plotting against her and only told us so that we wouldn't think you?! Well you didn't fool me, you fraud!"

"I'm not the enemy," he said flatly. His tone suddenly changed. "Why this accusation all of a sudden? Are you just nervous about what we all know is inevitable? Or maybe you know deep down that you have something to do with it?"

"Rafael... Donovan..."

"I DON'T! ESTELLE AND I HAVE IN FACT KNOWN EACH OTHER LONGER THAN SHE'S KNOWN YOU!"

"SO WHAT?! ALL THE MORE REASON WHY YOU WOULD BE THE ONE TO PLOT AGAINST HER!" His tone changed again. "But that doesn't mean I'm accusing you. Only that you are a canadite."

"ENOUGH!" Estelle yelled. She then grabbed Rafael by the arm. "Come on, Rafael. We're going to visit Anima."

"Max? You're zoning out." I then looked back to reality and saw the others had arrived. And Maddie was waving her hand in front of my face.

"Sorry... now let's start to put our heads, and the facts, together."

~~~~~~

Chiyon was suspicious of Rafael and Rafael was suspicious of Donovan?! What's with all these apprehensive suspicions?!

Also, will the Special Senshi and Max realize that Maddie is Lady Willow? Will another Planetary Child awaken? We're bound to see soon!
