Serena was taking a bath at her home. She got out, wrapped a towel around herself, and stepped on the bathroom scale. Outside, on the roof, Luna was stretching, when she heard a loud scream. It was Serena.

Later, Serena was sitting with her parents, and her brother, Sammy, and they were reassuring her, and telling her not to skip meals. Sammy mentioned that all it was was a half a pound, and they said that she would work it off on

"Your hundred yard dash to school!"

Serena began to cry.

That night, Serena was looking out the window, while Luna summarized the situation. Serena noticed Luna was doing something, and asked. Luna said,

"Drawing my favorite super hero!" On the paper Luna held, was a picture of a very round Sailor Moon. Serena got angry.

Once again, the evil queen sat on her throne, looking into her crystal. Beryl called upon Jedite, and asked him about news. He said that it was very good. Beryl commended him, but he said that he was only following her plans. Beryl said that humans are vain, and Jedite says that his plan was to take energy through the human activity, fitness.

At Serena's school, Serena had just told them that she's dieting, and they were all amazed that her parents let her. One girl said that her mother explained that girls their age should never diet. Their responses were

"But we're 14!"

Another girl named Brandy said that she wanted to, and give up eating. The girl said that the best way to diet without starving yourself is to give up junk food. The others agreed that it was a large sacrifice. Brandy said that whenever she gets a new boyfriend, she loses weight quickly. They asked her who it was, and it was a boy named Michael. They called him motor mouth, and she asked why. The girl said that it was because he always mouthed off before thinking, saying dumb things. Brandy and the girl argued. Meanwhile, Serena and Molly talked amongst themselves. Molly suggested that Serena talk to Miss Haruna, because she's been in a mood for fitness. Just then, Haruna came by, and greeted the girls. She looked great, and when she walked into the school, Melvin came and showed the girls pictures, saying Haruna had dropped them from her purse. Serena and Molly looked at the pictures, and realized something.

"Where did you really get these, Melvin?" She asked, "Miss H. wasn't carrying a purse!" Melvin screamed and ran away, with Molly and Serena in hot pursuit. He ducked into a small crack between the buildings, which seemed like and alley, but Serena found him. Melvin admitted taking the pictures himself, and Serena just asked where Miss Haruna worked out.

At a fitness center, and aerobics instructor was warming up her class. Outside, Serena and Molly, with Brandy and the girl (So they never give a name, OK?!) stood, ready to go in. From an office window, Jedite was watching them.

In the dressing room area, the small party of girls walked out of the changing room, and saw a man in a workout outfit, and tinted glasses. The girls wasted no time, and began swooning over him. He asked them if it was their first time at the gym, and they said yes. The man asked them to follow him.

In the workout area, the girls were panting as they used the various equipment in the gym. Serena was on a rowing apparatus, the girl was on a treadmill, Molly was on an exercise bike, and Brandy was on the weight machine. By the time the workout was over, the trainer told them about a spa downstairs. The girls went to it.

Serena was in a bathtub, and said to herself that she was glad that she got out of the exercises early.

When they had finished bathing, the man took them to a room filled with large pods. The girls were scared, but he told them that they were relaxation pods, and that they would help them relax. Molly agreed to it first, and the rest followed. When they were in the pods, the man thought to himself, in the voice of evil. The man, who was a trainer, was Jedite. He congratulated himself for thinking of the relaxation pods. In the Negaverse, Beryl was pleased.

Molly and the girls got out of the pods, completely exhausted. Jedite, as the trainer, said that they looked better than ever, and the girls were flattered. He thought to himself that humans are easy to fool, and he would revive the Negaforce.

Serena was talking to herself, completely drained, even if she had not spent any time in the relaxation pods. A small child walked by with donuts, and Serena asked for one. The child ran away completely afraid. Serena called the kid selfish. Serena walked by the arcade, and saw a poster of Sailor V. She said that she thought that Sailor V never had to diet. Suddenly, Serena toppled, and landed in a man's arms. It was the man that Luna had met before. He was named Andrew, and looked concerned for Serena. She fainted.

Serena was with Andrew, and he stood before her, saying that she didn't have to diet, and that it wasn't good for her. He was offering her food.

In the real world, Andrew was with Serena in a doctor's office, and gave her a drink to energize her. She awoke, and Andrew thanked her for falling into his arms. He said that he finally realized that he wants to be a doctor. Serena said that she didn't want Andrew to leave the arcade. Andrew said that he didn't want to work there forever, and he wouldn't be going for a while. He asked Serena if she was dieting, and said she looked great. He took her out to lunch.

Later that day, Serena was walking to nowhere eating donuts, and Darien walked up to her. He said,

"Maybe I should call you 'Donut Head'. You're really chowing down."

Serena said that even Darien couldn't ruin the taste of the donut, and Darien said that she could at least offer him one, and she threw it at his head. He caught it effortlessly. He thanked her by calling her Donut Head, and walked away. Serena was extremely angry, and Luna's voice came from behind her. She said that Darien had a point, because Serena had packed away so many donuts.

At a park, Luna and Serena sat on a bench. Serena wondered why she had no self-control. They talked about the amount of food she had eaten that day, and she was thinking she was fat. Luna said that she must fight the Negaverse, and Serena ran off, saying that she wasn't listening to Luna anymore.

At the workout gym, everybody watch curiously as Serena went on the exercise bike, faster and faster. Luna saw it, and caught a glimpse of Miss Haruna as she trudged drearily to the basement. Luna knew who it was. She went to investigate, and followed Haruna to the basement, and saw Jedite put her into a large pod. She suspected him.

Back in the gym, Serena was still working out, and Luna jumped on her, knocking her to the floor. Luna ran out of the room, and Serena followed. Outside the room, Luna jumped Serena, and put her claws in her face. She told Serena to transform, after giving her a convincing way to do it.

"MOON PRISM POWER!!!!"

As Haruna was inside the pod, her energy being drained away, A voice rang out.

"Let her go!"

It was Sailor Moon.

Jedite told three workout trainers to attack Sailor Moon, and Jedite disappeared. Sailor Moon asked Luna for help. Luna simply told Sailor Moon to fight, and she ran. Luna asked what she was doing, and when she reminded her of Haruna, she turned, and fought with bravery never had before. The first man received a punch to his stomach, and fell. The second was kicked in the face, and the final tried to hit Sailor Moon, but missed. During the distraction, a light shone as Sailor Moon yelled,

"MOON TIARA MAGIC!!!"

There were small crowns on the trainers' heads broke, and they arose, remembering nothing. Sailor Moon was glad they weren't real bad guys.

The dark of the Negaverse couldn't hold the amount of disappointment a certain queen felt. She expressed it too, as her minion Jedite found out. She was disappointed that the plan had been aborted so soon, and asked why they had been discovered so soon. Jedite didn't know why. His fear lived with him like a vicious animal.

Serena sat in the bathtub, when her mother called to her, saying that Sam had been waiting for some time. Serena said she'd be out, and Sam confessed to his mother that he was playing a joke on Serena. Suddenly, a scream came from the bathroom.

"This can't be! I don't weigh 300 pounds! Mama! I broke the bathroom scale!"
