"The one who hurt Mio was you, wasn't it, Usagi?" accuses Momoko. She, and the rest of the class are standing behind Mio, who's clutching a thickly bandaged wrist.

"What?!" Usagi is incredulous. "Hey, I didn't hurt Mio or anything like that!"

"That's right!" agrees Naru, "Usagi wouldn't do something like that!"

"But, Mio's story says she did," Kanami replies coldly.

Usagi says Mio's name in shock.

Mio, still clutching her wrist says "I understand that you didn't mean to do it, Usagi, and... I even told everyone that they were wrong, but..."

 Momoko butts in again, "Mio was protecting you, Usagi. But you know, I heard that when the monster appeared, you left her, an injured person, alone and ran away by yourself."

Usagi gasps, "That was..." She remembers telling Mio to hide while she went off to fight the youma. "I can't tell them I was fighting!" she thinks to herself.

The others apparently take her reluctance as an admission of guilt.

"So it's true," says Momoko, "I'm disappointed."

Kanami speaks up, "I didn't want to believe it at first, either, but..."

"Mio!" cries Usagi, "I wasn't deserting you!"

Mio stands up, still holding her wrist, "I know. You didn't really mean to, right. It's just that, I'm the rival of your beloved Aino Minako."

Usagi doesn't know what to say and the class starts accusing her. "You thought it would be better if Mio wasn't around, huh?"

"How cruel."

"Usagi, you're cold."

"That's so mean!"

"She's terrible!"

Mio shouts to the rest of the students, "Everyone, stop it! If Usagi doesn't like it, I'll give up show business."

Everyone is in disbelief. "That's not necessary!" cries Momoko, and Kanami agrees.

"You're wrong!" exclaims Usagi, "I didn't mean anything like that!"

"Everyone, wait!" urges Naru.

Ami begs the class, "Please believe Usagi!"

"Finding Kame!" Motoki is standing outside of Crown with a pair of movie tickets, talking to himself. "Yes! I'll invite her to this movie, set the mood, a bit of a fancy dinner, and then..." He puckers his lips, and then notices a couple of girls backing away slowly. He quickly tries to regain his composure, but then spots something that sends him scurrying inside excitedly. He just barely has enough time to check his hair in a mirror before suavely saying "Welcome" to Mako as she comes in.

"Hello," she replies back without much enthusiasm.

Motoki grabs the two tickets and runs out from behind the counter, exclaiming excitedly, "Ah Aaah! No way! Movie tickets! Finding Kame!" He runs around Makoto, tickets waving. "These are awesome 'Super Reserved Seats!' And what's more, I've got two! What should I do?"

Makoto holds up her passport. "Here."

As soon as he glances her way, she starts walking away. Motoki lamely goes after her. "I've got 'Super Reserved Seats...'"

But she's already inside the secret room.

Entering the secret room, Makoto encourages Usagi, "Usagi, cheer up! Everyone might not believe you, but we're here."

"Yeah!" Usagi agrees. "Naru believes me, too, so I'm fine!"

Luna agrees with her. "That's right! Cheer up! Let's do that special training!"

"That again?" asks Rei, clearly not happy about doing the whole chopstick thing again.

"But it worked with Ami, didn't it?" insists Luna.

After a bit of a pause, Mako speaks up. "I'll do it, I guess. I'm the only one who hasn't had her senshi powers awaken, and..."

A confused Usagi looks around at the others, wondering what they're talking about. "Hey, what is it? I wanna do it, too!" she whines.

"You want to?" asks Luna her eyes wide with delight.

The four girls are now all jumping frantically, trying to catch those darn petals being blown about with their chopsticks.

"I can't catch them!" wails Usagi is clearly frustrated on the verge of getting upset.

She's not the only one, as the other three aren't having much luck, either.

Luna's sitting comfortably on the table, giving them encouragement in a tone that says she's having way too much fun watching them. "Good! Good! That's it! That's it!"

"I finally caught one!" exclaims Usagi.

Jadeite walks down a stairway somewhere in the Dark Kingdom the set really is looking more castle like now.

Kunzite is there waiting. "You've been in an especially good mood, haven't you?" he comments.

"It's your imagination," retorts Jadeite.

"Don't hide it," demands Kunzite, "You're setting some kind of trap for the Princess." He whips out his sword and holds the blade to Jadeite's throat threateningly.

"Don't forget," says Jadeite, "Now, I'm closer to Queen Beryl."

Kunzite simply smirks. "I see. That's the basis of your self-confidence."

"Kunzite!" Beryl's voice echoes throughout the room. "Come!"

It's Jadeite's turn to smirk again. "You're being called," he says as he turns and walks away.

Kunzite now stands before Beryl, head bowed down and hand across his chest. "Have you had enough of your foolish business?" Beryl asks clearly having had enough of his doing things his own way. "I understand that you have your memories of the Past."

He continues to stand as he is and she holds up the black rose she used to awaken him, a smile springing to her lips. Kunzite raises his head and responds haughtily, "Then you should know that that's useless already."

Beryl seems to barely hold back her anger and causes a flurry of dark globs of energy to be released from the rose.

Kunzite ducks as the energy hits him.

"Have you noticed?" asks Beryl, "Queen Metellia’s power grows stronger again. I, too, am receiving the effects of that."

Kunzite slashes at the energy with his sword, but it's to no avail. Pleased, Beryl stops the energy and lowers the rose. "I thought it would be more useful to let you be free, but if you always stick your nose in things that aren't your concern..."

Kunzite stands. "What is none of my concern?" he asks.

"Meddling with Zoisite!" answers Beryl angrily.

"I see," says Kunzite, "The one waiting for Master's awakening isn't only him. But, when he has awakened, you-"

"THAT is none of your concern!" cuts in Beryl furiously.

"As you say," Kunzite replies as he bows mockingly. As he turns to leave as if somewhat under her control only to wink at the camera as if to say hey lady I am the one holding all the cards. Beryl watches him leave and then softly speaks, "Endymion, the time that I will meet you is near."
