Makoto walks alone down the brick walkway near Juuban. "I'm the only one who's senshi powers haven't awakened yet. It's not that I'm impatient, but honestly I think, 'Why is it just me?'" Makoto stops walking and looks back sadly towards the camera. "Why? It's  a question that I've had inside me for a long time."

Motoki holds up a pair of movie tickets to "Kame Fighter" against Kamekichi's tank. "It's not animated but live action. Hey," he consults with a clearly uninterested Kamikichi, "if it's this, I wonder if Mako-chan will come?" Just then, he looks up and stands to excitedly greet Makoto. "Mako-chan! Welcome!" He tries to wave with his left hand, but it's covered in a cast and is in a sling.

Makoto notices this and asks him, "Motoki, what's wrong?"

Motoki looks down at his arm. "Ah, I did it while moving."

"Are you okay?" asks Makoto.

Motoki nods. "Yeah."

"Moving? You're moving?"

He nods again and leans forward. "Yeah. It's the first time I'm living alone. But, suddenly, I've got this, you know," Motoki holds up his injured arm. "I can't cook well for myself, either. I give up!"

Makoto looks at his arm sympathetically. "I see. Oh!" She suddenly thinks of something. "Today I'm making curry, so if it's okay, I'll bring it tomorrow."

Motoki leans forward in disbelief. "Is it okay?"

"Those kinds of dishes," says Makoto, "When I make it for myself, it doesn't taste good, and I always make a lot."

"I'll take it!" spits out Motoki, huge grin on his face.

"Then, I'll bring it, okay." Motoki nods eagerly and waves as Makoto goes into the karaoke hideout.

After she leaves, Motoki pumps his good arm in triumph, and then shows the tickets to Kamikichi again. "All right!"

Usagi, Ami, and Rei walk into the secret room later and are greeted with an unusual sight. "What are you doing?" asks Usagi, noticing Makoto sitting at the table with a huge pile of boiled potatoes in front of her and a tray with various condiments.

Chibi-Luna sits and puts on makeup, cat shaped mirror in hand, while Makoto works on a half-eaten potato she has on the end of her fork. She looks miserably at the others while Luna explains. "Mako-chan hasn't awoken to her senshi powers yet, so it's special training."

"With potatoes?" asks Rei.

"Mako-chan hates them," Luna explains and then goes back to putting on her lip-gloss.

Makoto takes a huge gulp of water. "It's okay if it's in croquette and stuff," she looks at the huge pile of potatoes, "but like this, when I swallow it feels like it's stuck in my throat."

"Really?" asks Usagi, "They're good!" She reaches over and takes a little potato and bites it.

Ami takes a potato for herself, too, saying, "I kind of know the feeling."

Rei takes a seat. "But is does that have anything to do with senshi?" she asks.

Luna puts her makeup away. "We don't know what's lacking in Mako-chan yet; so first, I thought we'd start from conquering all the things she's bad at."

Usagi nods and takes another bite of her potato.

"Umm," Ami sits down, "it's a bit hard to say, but somehow I feel it won't work."

Rei nods.

"But, to a Senshi’s power, the problems of the heart are big," defends Luna.

"Venus said that too, but..." Rei pauses "I think it's different than likes and dislikes."

Luna glares at Rei. "You think?"

"Wait!" Makoto stands up. "Now, I'm thinking that I'll try anything, and I want to hurry and become the same as you all."

Usagi is touched. "Mako-chan, you're amazing!" She stands up and goes to Makoto's side. "Eat more!"

Makoto sits down, picks up the fork with the half-eaten potato and holds it up for Usagi to sprinkle salt on it. Usagi starts to ready another potato to eat, when Makoto starts to choke on her mouthful. She coughs and hits her chest as Luna and Ami run to her side.

"Mako-chan, are you okay?" asks Usagi.

"Water! Water!" cries Rei, running around the room.

"Water?!" repeats Usagi, "Oh! Ami, transform into Mercury!"

Ami nods and holds her hands up. "Mercury-!"

Rei runs up with a glass of water and Makoto drinks it.

"Are you okay?" asks Usagi again.

In the Dark Kingdom, Zoisite is at his piano, playing Moonlight Sonata as we hear the footsteps of someone approaching. "You've decided to remember the Past?" asks Zoisite he stops playing and looks at Nephrite.

"Are you the only one who remembers that Past?" he asks.

"Jadeite knows nothing," replies Zoisite, "However, Kunzite...as he awakened, he gained back his memories."

"I see..." Nephrite holds a hand to his chin, thoughtful. "If I remember, too, I wonder if Queen Beryl will ignore me then?"

"So it's like that?" scoffs Zoisite, "Nephrite, your master is not Beryl. It's Master Endymion."

Nephrite steps forward. "I will choose my master for myself."

Zoisite drops his hand, "Fine. If you remember, you'll understand." He starts to play on his piano. "A long time ago, we Shitenno had the duty of protecting this planet and this planet's prince, Master."

Nephrite closes his eyes as Zoisite continues to play.

Minako puts her school bag on her couch and walks over to where Artemis is sitting on her electric organ. "I received a call from Luna saying that the awakening of Jupiter's powers isn't going well."

"Certainly, it's late, but, I'm certain she'll awaken," says Minako, "It was for that reason we came to be born with the [memories of the] Past." Minako looks towards her window. "Even me."

Usagi walks into her kitchen, saying "Food! Food!" in a sing-song voice. She reaches the dining table, commenting, "Wow! So many potatoes!"

The phone rings and Usagi's mother goes for the phone. "Yes! Yes!" She picks it up. "Hello? Ah, Papa!"

Usagi turns around and listens to her mother's side of the conversation.

"What? A business trip, again? I'll complain to the president! I will!" Usagi nods her head in the background. Ikuko laughs, "Just kidding! Just kidding! I wasn't serious."

Usagi runs over to her mother and speaks over her shoulder, "Papa! Souvenirs, please!"

Shingo, eating at the table, shouts out, "Brat!"

"Shingo says he doesn't need one!" adds Usagi.

"What?!" Shingo puts down his fork and hits Usagi.

Usagi and her brother are talking over each other when Ikuko shouts out, "Be quiet! I can't hear Papa's voice!"
