Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon Act 23

Page 2

In the super secret karaoke room, Luna says, "If we cooperate, we can save Ami-chan. When Sailor Moon's powers shone, the real Ami-chan appeared for just a moment."

Usagi remembers seeing Ami under the Evil Mercury form, "Usagi-chan…"

"If our power were to become bigger," Luna says.

Rei cuts in, "Because of that, we have to awaken as real soldiers like Usagi did."

"Exactly!" Luna says.

"The power of you soldiers can become much stronger!" Makoto nods.

Rei does, too and then remembers Venus saying, "Please remember your real soldier powers."

 

"How?" Rei thinks. She then starts walking up the steps to the shrine. Once on the shrine grounds, she sees a mother and her daughter and she smiles. The walk toward each other, "Good afternoon," Rei says. She bends over to the young girl, "Ah, Nana-chan, you've left the hospital!"

Her mother says, "Yes! She is fine!"

"Ah! I'm glad!" "Minako Aino came by the hospital and sang a song!"

"Huh?" Rei then thinks, "Minako Aino was…"

Rei stomps up to the neighborhood hospital. Rei hears "C'est La Vie" playing somewhere. She goes to where it's coming from. She looks into a window and sees her singing for many young children. She finishes and everyone claps. The two soldiers' eyes meet each other. Minako regains her smile and is swarmed by the children.

"Could I have your autograph?" this cute little girl in pink asks Minako. She bends down and signs a magazine she has her face on. Rei enters the room. "Here! Hurry up and get well soon!"

"Thank you!" The children line up and wait for a signing.

Rei watches with cute, kind of sad background music playing.

THEN, another cute little girl comes up to Rei and says, "Excuse me, may I have your signature?"

"Huh? Oh, Minako Aino is over there…"

The older woman with the girl says, "Um, I heard you were another talent who is joining the same record as Minako. Your name is Mars Reiko, isn't it?"

"Huh?" "Minako-chan told me!"

"EH?!" Minako looks over at Rei mischievously.

Rei looks at her angrily.

Children with signatures leave and the woman who was talking to Rei wished Minako good luck and Minako says, "Bye-bye!"

Rei and Minako come up to each other.

"What's going on here? I am talent?" Rei says.

"You promised me that you wouldn't follow me any more."

"I heard you came to this hospital every month, and I thought something was wrong with you."

"Just to encourage the sick kids and a physical checkup."

"Every month?"

"Just to take care of my health. Anyway, I didn't think Sailor Moon would awaken before you." Rei is surprised. "I thought you would be first," Minako continues.

"Do you mean to say I'm supposed to be the leader, but I'm too woeful?"

"Guess so. The spiritual problem is a big one in awakening the soldiers, but I think there's something lacking in you." Minako begins to walk off, but someone shouts, "Excuse me!"

A nurse runs up to Rei holding three kids' hands, "Minako told me that you would be singing a song or two this afternoon for the children!"

Rei looks at Minako in shock, but Minako turns her head smiling. "All the children are very happy, right?" the nurse says.

The children say, "Right!"

The nurse nods to Rei who pulls Minako aside rather forcefully. "Hold it, what did you say?" Rei whispers.

"This is your punishment."

Rei glares at Minako. "Excuse me!" the nurse calls again. "What do you need for the performance?" she says right behind the girls.

"Ah… Um, but I'm not famous!" Rei says smiling nervously and waving her hands.

"Oh, that's okay! We don't care, right?"

"Right!" Mars looks at the nurse nervously. "The children staying here don't usually enjoy their stay, so it would be good for them. We'll be waiting for you later on today! Let's go, kids," the nurse says as she rushes the children off.

Rei looks at Minako. She is almost fuming with anger.

Minako steps forward with an evil smile, "A leader's power requires you soldiers to be cooperating."

"I don't want to get help from my partners for this afternoon."

"Well, I have my examination to get to. Good luck, Miss Mars Reiko." Rei looks at her with rage and begins to run after her, but stops herself. She glares after Minako..
