episode 61: naughty 'n nice The scene opens with a stained glass window with a bunny on it. We look down to see a happy couple being married - Serena and Darien! Serena is wearing a beautiful gown, flowers covering the meatballs, she saying how happy she was...then she wakes up. Seeing that it wasn't real, her eyes open. Suddenly, she feels something in the bed. "YOU LITTLE SPORE!" It's Rini. And OH how Serena screams... In the UFO thingy, the Wiseman, cloak and all, reappears after a long absence. He tells Rubius that they need to capture the crystal points now, for in the future Crystal Tokyo, the plan isn't working. They tried to attack the palace head on, but a forcefield has stopped the - one that was created by four female warriors - the Sailor Scouts of the future! Rubius decides that they must be destroyed as well... Serena is beating sheets outside while Sammy kicks back. He says, "Now that Rini's here, I don't get in trouble anymore!" They fight a little, but then Rini runs out. Serena asks, "Where you going?" She says, "To where I'm wanted!" and she runs out. Serena yells back at her... Sitting down, Luna comes up to Serena. "You have to find her, she's your responsibility." Serena tries to make excuses, but Luna forces her to go. Meanwhile, Rini is running and crying at the same time. She gets a flashback to the future, when she was crying, and her mother, a beautiful woman (seen in silouette), comforted her. She thinks about how Serena treats her, sits on a step, and begins to cry...Wanting to go home, she tries to use the Crystal Key. But it doesn't work. She wails, and what appears but the Moonbeam!... Suddnely, Catsy appeared in front of her, and Birdie in back. They started to chase her! As they closed in, the Luna Ball struck Birdie, sending her flying, giving Rini a chance to run away. She does, and hides somewhere. Serena, meanwhile, sees where she is, and hides behind her, so that she can't be seen... "Luna Ball, I'm so lonely here. There are these weird sisters chasing me, and I can't even go home. The girl I'm staying with, Serena, hates me!" Rini cries out to the ball. Serena's eyes tear up. But the ball responds, "Do you remember the four female warriors of the future, your true friends? They are the Sailor Scouts of this present. YOu must put your trust in them and in Sailor Moon. Don't worry, Princess." Serena gasps and thinks, "Princess? She must be the Moon Princess of the Future! And that means that her mother must be - "... But she is cut off by the four sisters! They have appeared to get Rini. Serena hides and shouts, "Moon Crystal Power!" Now as Sailor Moon, she grabs Rini and protects her from harm, holding on to her tight. But she is outnumbered... suddenly, the Sailor Scouts arrive! They face the four sisters and begin the crucial showdown: Birdie matched up with Mercury, Avery with Venus, Prizma with Jupiter, and Catsy with Mars. While the battle went on, Sailor Moon held on to Rini tightly. Rini shouted, "Don't let go!" And she wouldn't... but out of the blue came an energy attack! Sailor Moon dodged it, but more came! She looked up to see a man with red hair. "Who are you?" she shouted. "I am Rubius from the Negamoon, and I want that kid!" The fight was on. (And "She's Got the Power" stared to play as BGM. I love that song!) Rubius attacked again, and Sailor Moon held on with all her might to Rini. Her hold became loose, and Rini cryed, "PLease! SAilor Moon! Don't let go!" Sailor Moon was down, but still protecting Rini... when Tuxedo Mask appeared! with his cane, he nulled the attack from Rubius, and his roses counteracted it. Rubius was now suprised, and with the Mask's encouragement, Sailor Moon had the guts to stand up and shout: "Moon Scepter Elimination!" Rubius didn't die, was was so badly injured that he - and the sisters - left... Sailor Moon still head on to Rini. Rini cryed about wanting to be with her mom, that she was so lonely, and Sailor Moon comforted her. The day was won, and the bods were secure... but meanwhile, in the Wiseman's lair, he pondered about the Scouts. "Sailor Moon could be the key to winning this battle." Suddenly, he thought for a minute. A picture appeared of a beautiful woman, wearing a white gown with decorative wings. It was fuzzy..."Sailor Moon looks just like the queen of Crystal Tokyo!" The picture cleared to she the Moon insignia on her forehead - and a face and hair that looked just like Serena's! "And the rabbit could be...her daughter!!"...
