      Taiki and Ami are shown to be top of the class by tests scores. Then Ami stops professor Amanogwa to ask him about the comet he discovered. Taiki also stops. However, Taiki ridicules Ami after she reveals her believe in dreams and romanticism. Taiki then hosts a show that the professor is a guest on. A child asks the professor if the dead go the stars, and the professor does not dismiss the idea, which ticks of Taiki who rips the kid down. Taiki thinks pure science is just that, with no additives. Then. He goes on to saying they will not see the comet, as invited by their teacher due to rain. Yet, Ami’s words haunt him as he practices. At the same time, Iron Mouse attacks Ami and the teacher and he is turned into a phage. Taiki, so haunted by Ami’s words comes, and then transforms into Star Maker upon seeing her plight (ami is being attacked). Yet Ami saves the phage, saying he is her most respected teahcer. Sailor Moon appears, and aids Maker, who cuts her blast to ½ strength allowing Moon to heal him. During the battle ami’s words make Maker/Taiki realize that dreams and romanticism give people the will to work, and so he appears to se if they can see the comet—which they all do.

#178 LUNA SAW IT—THE TRUE CHARCTER OF YATEN
      Usagi is looking for Luna, and sees her on TV with Yaten. When she tries to approach him she ends up not finding out about Luna but getting blown off, and the love card she gave him (from another girl) he threw out! Luna appears later that day and explains she was with him all the time, he needed a pet for a TV show.   He took her everywhere (even bathed with her!).   Luna goes back to see Yaten and ends up getting a bath at a parlor. A star named Noriko Okamachi comes over and is rude to Luna, and Yaten blows her off rudely when she suggests a date. The next view was of the three lights in the car talking. Yaten expresses his doubts in people, the reason he cannot read the love letters. He doesn’t trust their sincerity. He expresses his anger at the other two for not being devoted to “her”. Yaten takes Luna to the parlor and when the idol accuses him f being gay he gets angry. However Iron Mouse shows up in disguise and pretends to roll the camera… in which Yaten leaves. Iron Mouse attacks her and Yaten chooses not to transform, having lost faith in humankind. However, Luna charges in, even after the idol was so mean to her (which shocks Yaten who says it is “nothing without her”). He carries the unconscious Luna out, to Artemis and runs in transforming into Star Healer, saying that fighting is her fate. He tells the phage he is fighting for the sake of a cat…. And Sailor Moon (who is there as well with some of the shenshi) asks “Luna?”… “good name” was her reply. The Phage is once again taken car of, and Luna recovered. When Usagi goes to see him, he sees luna on her shoulder and tells her to “visit anytime”…. Luna wishes him the best in finding his girl.

#179 ENIMES, ALLIES--SAILOR STARLIGHTS AND SAILORS SOLDIERS
      The show starts with Usagi at the library writing a love letter. Michiru and Haruka stop her and can see something is wrong, and become worried. Although she doesn’t reveal Mamuro hasn’t written. Then, it switches to the 3 lights just sitting around. Seiya stops playing the guitar and asks “Sailor Moon, enemy or ally?” He also reminisces about their princess, and says Sailor moon even reminds him of her. Taiki flips on Seiya and Yaten just stays neutral. Again, the scene chnages to Makoto and usagi in the greenhouse working/eating strawberries. Taiki is there cooling off, and thinks about Sailor Moon while looking at a white rose. In anger he squeezes it and cuts his hand. Manoko and Usagi sneak up on him, thinking he might be a burglar. They trip and fall, making a spectacle. Once seeing his hand is cut Usagi bandages it. As thanks Taiki recites a poem of Blake’s. She confuses it with “break” like a lunch break. Taiki laughs at her. Once realizing Makoto cooks he invites her on a cooking show. Usagi invites herself along. When Makoto froze in front of the camera, Usagi jumps in. She does ok, but mixes the flour with something else. The cake explodes! Taiki sees her face and begins to laugh. Seiya and Yaten see hi and comment that he hardly ever laughs and hasn’t laughed for years. In the end, the master chef (whose show it was).. Mr. Yoshininogawa, is attacked. Sailor Moon gets tricked by the phage he turns into, and is almost cut open, however Star Maker saves her. They heal him and all is ok. Taiki thinks about why he protected Sailor Moon, then thinks back on Usagi, questioning whether it was because of her. Seiya and Yaten comment on he must have had a good day. The final scene is of Michuru and Haruka talking about how a war is coming.

#180- THE BRIGHTNESS OF CALLING STARS—HARUKS’S ENTRY INTO THE WAR
      Usagi, Manoko, Minako, Rei, and Ami try to get tickets for the three lights concert, but they find out there is none left. Michiru and Haruka appear, and Michiru gives them tickets, and they find out she’s doing a joint concert with the three lights. The next scene shows Iron Mouse planning to attack the conductor that was putting on the performance.   Then, it is time for the concert! Both the starlights and Michiru play very well, but Seiya and Michiru get a strange feeling, the power of a “wave”, and the brightness of a star from each other and ask who they are. After the show Seiya goes to Mihciru’s room (while at the same time Usagi comes, late and ends up going with Haruka to Michiru’s dressing room). He claims to be a fan of hers and she giggles flirtatiously. After a little bit of seductive wordplay, Michuru stands up and asks Seiya to help her undress. Almost at the same time Haruka comes in. She immediately becomes jealous, but almost shakes Seiya’s hand. Instead they end up in a deadlock, and Seiya feels the same brightness of a star. Usagi apologizes for Seiya and runs after him, while Haruka an michiru spend some quality time ;-). After talking with Seiya, she falls down the stars and into Mr. Garayan (the conductor). She follows him, afraid he is hurt and ends up seeing him attacked. She is attacked as Sailor Moon, but saved by the starlights. After they heal the phage, she asks them if they’re enemies or allies? Uranus stops her from shaking Fighter’s hand. In the very end Usagi expresses her concerns to Seiya, and he encourages her.

#181- SEIYA AND USAGI'S NERVOUS DATE
      It starts out with Minako desperately trying to get a date with one of the lights. Sailor Iron Mouse is shown to be running from ”the phone!” She knows Galaxia is NOT happy. Then, the idea hit’s her… the three lights they should have star seeds! The next frame is of Seiya leaning against the Tree after school is out. Usagi walks by and he asks her to do something (after a comical play of words the date is set). The next day, you see Usagi talking to Luna griping about how late Seiya is. Haruka and Michiru come up to her and ask her why she is in the park, that only couples go to the park. When she tells them she is here with Seiya, Haruka warms her not to be trapped by the wolf. Michiru drags her off. Right before Usagi decides to leave because Seiya is so late, a little boy runs by and falls in front of her.   She pats him on the back and tells him that if he’s crying he can’t have fun with his friends. He jumps up and goes to play (however Seiya saw the whole thing). As Usagi goes over to see him she trips and falls, and cries. Seiya quotes her, and she realizes he was watching. They proceed to the Zoo (where it looks like Seiya is bored and Usagi is having a great time). Even Seiya gets a bear key chain/brooch which he keeps, after Usagi expects to get it, he tells her to “get her own”.   They end up riding a faris wheel, where Seiya asks about Mamoru. He asks her if he is being unfaithful, but apologizes after Usagi is upset and answers “he’s always thinking about me”.   He takes her to a dance club. Both Taiki and yaten see him but shrug it off. Iron Mouse ad tracked all the places the Three Light’s hung out, and sees Seiya. Seiya get’s a room, and for a moment Usagi thinks he is going to rape her, but they end up dacning (that is really, really funny). The light’s go out suddenly, and Seiya pulls Usagi into his chest, saying not to worry. Usagi thinks “Same warmpth, but a different scent”. Iron mouse appears, and attacks Seiya who yells for Usagi to run. She hesitates but does, intending to transform. Seiya Transforms into Star Fighter and the other two appear as well. Sailor Moon makes her entrance and sees the brooch on the ground and asks if Seiya is ok. Fighter is shocked that she knows about the brooch and thinks that it may be Usagi. She says that Seiya is ok. Iron Mouse interjects and says that she doesn’t know anything. Fighter blasta at her with a Star Serious Laser attack, and she retreats into one of the transport telephone booths. Galaxia appears and says she is displeased with Iron Mouse and takes her bracelets (killing her). The next frame is of Usgi walking, looking at the brooch wondering if Seiya is ok. He is leaning against a tree, and Usagi yells at him saying she was worried. She feels better that he is fine, and in thanks Seiya gives the Brooch to Usagi. He stares at her, and then decides that she couldn’t be sailor moon…
