"Yeah," Minako says on the phone, "Please tell the boss that I'll send the composition memo of the new song tomorrow. Bye!" She hangs up.

Artemis springs up. "Minako, I'm worried about the enemy's plans."

"Huh?"

Kunzite stands in the Dark Kingdom. He holds up a fully bloomed black rose.

At Juuban Junior High, Makoto looks into Usagi's classroom. She notices that Ami isn't at school today either. "Huh? Ami-chan," she thinks. Naru comes up and Makoto goes up to her, "Um."

"Huh?"

"Where's Miss Mizuno?"

"I heard she is absent from school today."

"Oh, sick?"

"Well, no one's contacted her."

Makoto nods slightly and looks into the classroom.

Later, Makoto rings Ami's doorbell.

Ami's bed is empty.

Makoto continues to ring the doorbell. "Is she not here?" She goes to turn the door handle its unlocked. "Huh?" Makoto pokes her head in, "Ami-chan… Are you here?" Makoto hears a double thump inside somewhere. "Excuse me," she says to herself as she enters. Makoto knocks on the door to Ami's room and then opens it. "Ami-chan?" Makoto sees Ami in the fetal position on her bed. "Ami-chan!!" She runs over to her. "Ami-chan, what's wrong?! Are you sick?"

"I'm… all right, but… I can't… wake up…"

"I guess you're sick." Makoto puts her hands to her own and Ami's forehead. "Where's your mother?"

"She's… away…"

"So you've been alone? Why didn't you call?"

"Hmm…"

Makoto chops up some leeks. She pauses, "Can Ami-chan eat leek?" She never minds it and continues to chop. She sips at the 'soup' and nods in approval. Makoto opens the little white pot and pours some rice soup into a bowl, "How about some leek?"

"Yeah…"

Ami just sits there blankly as Makoto prepares the bowl. "Eat a lot!"

"Okay…" Amy takes the bowl and eats.

"Careful, it's hot."

Ami has eaten the entire bowl of soup and Makoto comments, "You ate a lot…"

Ami takes her last bite.

"Are you fine now?"

Ami nods, "Yeah!"

"Do you want something?"

Ami tilts her head a bit, "Amusement Park."

"Huh?"

Ami turns to her, "I want to go to an amusement park!"

"Huh?" [Ami wants to go to the amusement park!? Newsflash something isn't right here!]
