Serena and company studied at Darien's house. Mina leaned back and sighed, "Good thing you have an air conditioner, Darien. It's hot out."
Soft snoring hit the girls' ears. They turned to see Serena snoring. "Wake up, meatball head," scolded Rei, as she flicked Serena's ear. She woke with a start.
"These books are very interesting, Darien," Ami commented. "I didn't know you were into genetic engineering."
The doorbell rang. Serena ran to answer it. The man on the other side said, in English, "Good afternoon, young lady."
Serena grimaced. "Uh-uh-uh-" Lacking the English words, she sputtered in Japanese. "I can't speak English!"
Darien came up behind Serena. "Hi, Edwards!"
"Darien!" the man greeted back.
The other girls came out from hiding. Mina said, in nice, clear English, "Nice to meet you."
Rei stated, in English, "Hello."
"I'm glad to see you," Ami said slowly.in English.
Lita announced triumphantly in English, "Thank you!"
Rei sighed in frustration, "Lita, that's not exactly the right phrase."
Edwards smiled forgivingly. "Well, I've come to invite all of you to a party at my house."
"That would be great," Darien said as Edwards left.
"Who is that man, Darien?" Ami asked.
"Edwards is a British man who owns a huge house at the edge of town. He frequently calls people to his house for parties."
"I'm excited to meet him," Ami smiled.
"I'm just glad to be going to a party!" Serena exclaimed.
"There will be foreigners at the party," Ami pointed out.
Darien nodded. "Most of the conversation will be in English. You'll need to study."
"Study?" Serena whined. "I don't wanna study for a party."
Professor Chronos and Eudial talked on the phone. "One who likes the waltz should have a pure soul," the Professor commented.
Eudial typed on her computer. "Someone who likes to waltz... I've got our next target."
The girls went to the party with Darien. As they stepped into the room, all Serena could hear was people speaking English. "Oh no," whispered Serena under her breath, "what am I going to do?"
Edwards spotted them and came over. "Welcome, I'm so glad you could come."
Some of Darien's friends wandered over as well. "Hey, Darien, introduce us to the girls."
Darien introduced them. "This is Mina, Lita, Rei, Ami, and Serena."
Darien's friends laughed and said in Japanese, "So this is the Serena we've heard so much about?"
The girls were relived when Darien's firend started talking in English. Mina laughed, "Well, Serena, looks like you didn't have to worry about your English so much after all. Serena?" But she was nowhere to be seen.
Serena frantically studied her English text book. "If Lita and Rei can speak English, I can too!" She saw all the foreign students and became even more worried. To calm her nerves, she guzzled to glasses of what she thought was juice.
Ami and Edwards chatted alone. "Why do you throw all these parties?"
"I like to invite young people. They're the future. They need encouragement to try for the future."
Ami pledged, "I promise to try for the future."
Lita and Rei had suffered through the last half hour of Englsih conversation by smiling nodding. Lita sighed, "The level of this conversation is way to high."
Serena wobbled into Darien. She babbled aimlessly about pudding.
One of Darien's foreign friends nodded. "You're girlfriend is very unique. I never thought I would hear someone philosophise through pudding."
Serena giggled. "Nice to meet. Cream stew!"
Ami elbowed Darien. Quietly she whispered to him, "I think Serena is drunk."
"Let's go outside and get some fresh air," Darien suggested to Serena as he led her through the crowd.
On a stage, Edwards called for everyone's attention. "May I introduce, Michelle Kaioh!" People applauded as Michelle entered the stage. As she played her violin, the audience silenced to listen.
The girls and Darien stood on the balcony. Lita stared at Serena, "I wonder how she got drunk?"
Eudial pulled into Edwards' driveway.
As Michelle stepped off the stage, she bumped into Erica, Darien and the girls. A waltz began playing. "May I have this dance?" Michelle asked Darien. He accepted and they drifted gracefully out onto the floor.
"She stealing my boyfriend!" Serena protested. "I can't believe it!"
"Would you like to dance with me?" Erica asked.
Serena quickly agreed. "All right."
Ami watched them. "Wow! Serena's dancing-"she stopped in disbelief-"quite nicely!"
Mina nodded. "It must be Erica's lead."
Rei shook her head. "Erica has talent. It must be tough to make Serena do anything well."
Mina grinned in determination. "I'll dance with her next."
"No, I will," the others replied in unison.
As Michelle and Darien danced, they talked about Edwards. "He built a fortune to earn a bright future. But when he had all his moneyy, he had no one to share it with, no family or friends. He didn't have anywone to give the brigth future to."
Michelle commented, "It's necessary to make sacrifices for bright future."
"Building a future by sacrificing a lot does not mean anything if there is no one left to enjoy the future. It's impossible to do it alone."
Meanwhile, Mina, Rei, Lita, and Ami were still drawing straws to see who would get to dance with Erica next. "I win!" announced Rei.
But as the next dance started, Erica danced with Michelle. They were all disappointed. Edwards walked over to them. "Let me show you girls someplace beautiful."
They followed Edwards to a garden. the scent of beautiful flowers filled the air and a breathtaking view of the city consumed the horizon. "It's beautiful," breathed Ami.
Edwards smiled fondly. "My dream is that the yong people will make a beautiful future like this garden." He watched the girls enjoying his garden. "I'll get some cake and punch for you."
Eudial broke into the house. She fired her gun and the room filled with sleeping gas.
As Edwards entered the house, he saw a girl standing in the smoke filled room. "I've got to help her," he said with determination.
As he approached her he saw she wore a gas mask. "My next target," Eudail said beneath her gas mask as she shot Edwards. His soul crystal popped out.
Serena and the girls headed back into the house. Ami looked at the windows. "There's smoke coming out."
"It might be on fire!" Mina suggested.
"They could be in trouble. Let's go!" Lita charged.
"Uranus Planet Power!"
"Neptune Planet Power!"
"Neptune Tidalwave Submerge!" Neptune blasted Eudial.
Uranus dove for the Edwards' soul while Eudial was distracted. Eudial, realizing she was getting the pants beat off her, summoned her demon.
The demon stumbled. "My ornaments are toooooo heavy!" it complained loudly.
Eudial sighed. "Not exactly what I had in mind."
"Stop! One who takes the soul of a man who loves to waltz, I won't forgive you. In the name of the Moon, I will punish you. I am Sailor Moon!"
Uranus announced to Neptune. "This isn't the talisman."
Eudial ordered the demon, "Demon, do something useful. Attack the Sailor Senshi!"
The demon roared and blasted Sailor Moon. Struggling pitifully, the Inner Senshi fought back weakly.
Uranus could watch no more. "Uranus Meteor Strike!"
As Neptune and Uranus left, Neptune asked, "What did you save them for?"
The demon recovered. It blasted the Inner Senshi with it's musical attacks. "This is killing my ears!" Serena screamed as she covered them.
A red rose struck the demon. "Music is for enjoymeny, not making people suffer."
The demon threw speakers at Tuxedo Mask. He dodged. "Attack, Sailor Moon."
"Moon Heart Spiral Collision!"
The demon was destroyed.
