Usagi Tsukino wakes up late again, pausing only to catch the latest television news about Sailor V. A stuffed cat falls on her face on her way to school, who walks and talks and catches up to Usagi that night to give her the power to turn into Sailormoon. The next day, a jewelry show turns ugly when Jadeite shows up to search for the Mystical Silver Crystal, and it's up to Usagi and a mysterious masked figure to save the day!
Ami Mizuno, the lonely, brilliant girl in Usagi's class, escapes her loneliness by eating lunch on the roof, where Luna finds her and wonders if she is the next Senshi to be discovered. Thrilled at this news, Usagi attempts to befriend the girl genius, but when Ami finds out why Usagi wants to be her friend, she instantly turns cold. Later, Ami is attacked at her cram school and Usagi refuses to burden her friend with the power she doesn't want. Ami, moved by this gesture, accepts the power to transform into the warrior of water and wisdom, Sailor Mercury!
