"Geez, that Usagi!" Luna's in her girl form in the secret room at Crown, looking into her Luna mirror as she applies make up. "What time does she think it is? She went to sleep so early."

Ami and Makoto are nodding to each other as Ami helps Makoto study, and Rei is reading a book about telling the fortunes of your past life. She looks up from her book and asks, "Huh? Usagi's went to sleep already?"

Luna nods. "Tomorrow," she says, "she's going to buy tickets to Aino Minako's Live Concert."

Makoto looks up. "Ah!" she exclaims.

Both Ami and Rei look at Makoto questioningly.

"She's going together with Chiba Mamoru," Luna informs her with an annoyed look.

Makoto suppresses her excitement and starts to gather up all her belongings.

"I've been worrying over it a lot," continues Luna, "but I think Venus and Artemis won't approve of Chiba Mamoru and Usagi."

Makoto pauses, notebook in hand poised to go into her bag. "You think so?" she asks.

"It's because Venus is strict," says Luna.

Makoto flies again into a packing frenzy as Rei speaks up, "Yeah...but I wonder why Venus is so soldier-like?"

"Probably, it's because she's the one with the most memories of the Past," says Ami.

"That's true," replies Rei, "but..." She frowns.

Ami looks at her sympathetically as Makoto rushes out. "See ya!"

Venus and Zoisite are talking with each other outside, a large distance between them.

"Once," says Zoisite, "both we and you were unable to stop Master and the Princess."

"That's right," agrees Venus, "That's why there was tragedy."

"We must stop the tragedy," declares Zoisite.

"You're right," she says.

The two look at each other, Zoisite with a cool expression and Venus with one of wariness. Zoisite looks away as he walks towards her. "Queen Beryl is targeting Master," he says, "Of course, I intend to protect him, but I can't say if I've completely separated from Beryl's hands." He walks past her and stops, "That's why, just in case, I want you to protect Master."

"Me?" asks Venus.

Zoisite turns around to face her. "In exchange for that," he says, "take this." He holds out his palm, and with a glow, a crystal music box appears.

A big poster with a picture of Minako in one corner proclaims, "Aino Minako's Urgent Live Concert (6/13)." Below that, on a "Minako Aino Rainbow Tour 2004 Summer" poster, it says "Sold Out."

"Whaaaaat?!" whines Usagi. "You don't even have one ticket for the live concert?" she asks.

The girl behind the counter politely says. "No."

"Really, you don't?" Usagi asks again.

The girl replies again in the same manner, "No."

"Really?" Usagi demands once more.

The smile drops off the ticket girl's face and she gives Usagi a look that said her patience has about run out.

Usagi gets a sly grin on her face, points at the girl, and says, "You've got at least one, right?"

The girl shakes her head. "We don't have any," she tells her.

The grin fades from Usagi's face. "No way~!" she says in disbelief. Slowly, she turns from the counter, gives a big sigh and walks away, disappointed. She pauses to look at the ticket counter again and then sighs once more and goes on her way.

As she leaves, Makoto walks in, looking around. "Um, where is it?" she asks, then turns and spots the ticket window. "There it is!" She runs over to the other ticket lady. "Excuse me, do you have tickets for Aino Minako's Live Concert?" she asks.

"We're sold out," she replies.

"What?! You don't even have one?" she asks.

"No."

"Whaaat?!" Makoto shouts. "No! No! No!" She stomps her feet on the ground and jumps up and down.

A couple passing by stop and look at her tantrum, glancing at each other. "Excuse me," says the ticket lady, "will you please keep it down?"

"Uh, yes."
