At school, Molly was looking at a magazine. She saw a picture of a person, and Serena recognized the person as a famous student photographer, Peter Fisher. Amy was eating, and Serena suggested that they go and get his autograph, because they all had crushes on him. Amy said that she had to study, and Serena said that the test wasn't until the next afternoon.

"I know, but I want a perfect score."

Raye's school was nothing but noise at the gate. Reporters were swarmed around a young man, asking him questions. It was Peter Fisher. He had red hair with a brown stripe, and wore a nice suit. Serena and Molly came up, but Raye stopped them. Raye said that Peter was busy with interviews, and couldn't be bothered with her. Peter came to them and asked them to stop arguing.

The sunset was beautiful. Just what Peter was thinking. He got his camera ready. He snapped some shots, but the dirt beneath him was loose, and he fell. He was about to fall into the bay below, but he was stopped by a hand. He looked up, and saw the famous business man, Maxfield Stanton. Maxfield helped Peter up, and went to get his camera. When he touched it, he used his powers as Nephlite to endow the camera with negative energy. He gave it to Peter. He walked away, saying,

"Keep it up, Peter!"

Nephlite was standing in front of a magazine placed on the floor. He had definitely found his next victim: Peter Fisher. Meanwhile, Peter could feel his energy starting to grow. He said that he wanted live targets for his pictures.

Serena was reading a magazine, and saw an ad for modeling.

"Wow! Modeling!" She said dreamily.

Luna came up to her on Serena's bed, and put down a small device. She told Serena it was a communicator, and Serena used it to call Amy. She told Amy about the contest, and Amy told Serena that the communicators were for Sailor business. Serena was about to call Raye, when she remembered her lecture from the day.

"Our prize student is busy with interviews." Raye had said, "he can't be bothered with you!"

Serena decided to skip the lecture.

Later on, before dinner, Sammy was laughing at Serena. Serena told him to stop, and Sammy said that she couldn't even walk and chew gum at the same time. Serena said that if she smiled pretty, that would be all that mattered. Sammy reminded Serena of the time she had a horrible picture taken of her. Serena asked her mother if she thought Serena could be a model, and her mother said,

"You can be anything you want to be, as long as you don't borrow my clothes!"

Serena cried. Why? Lack of respect, of course.

Later on that day, at Game Crown, Andrew told Serena that if she wanted to be a model, she should go for it. Darien made fun of her for a while, then told her what a responsibility modeling is. Serena asked how he knew, and Darien revealed that he modeled for a while to pay his tuition. Serena told him not to worry. Darien said he didn't.

"Because you're never on time, You're always cramming junk food in your mouth, and you can't walk one block without falling, and taking at least three other people with you."

Serena walked out angry. Andrew asked why he was so mean, and Darien explained that it was a feeling.

Serena was waiting for the mail. Perhaps her rejection was coming for her, and that's what Sammy thought. Serena remained optimistic, and when the mailman came, he gave Serena a letter. It was from Peter Fisher, and he wanted her as a contestant. She rubbed it in to Sammy.

Serena was in her room with Luna, and was walking back and forth, correcting her posture. Luna asked what she was doing, and Serena said that she was practicing to be a model. The books fell, and Serena blamed Luna. She calmed herself, and went to find a bathing suit. She took out her newest one, and it was filthy. Serena wailed.

At the building with the contest, Peter came before the contestants, and laid down some ground rules.

In the hall of the building, Luna had a bad feeling, saying that Peter was weird. Serena said that he'd always been that way. That was what made him such a genius. Luna said that Peter wasn't picky about his models, and Serena made a grab at her. Luna ducked into the basket that she was in. Miss Haruna and Molly came up to Serena, and asked what to do. Serena said that they go into the dressing room, and wait for their turn.

In the dressing room, Serena was looking in a mirror. Molly and Miss Haruna came out of the changing stalls, clad in bathing suits. Molly's was a one-piece, and Miss Haruna's was about a thread. Molly asked Serena if she had gotten a new bathing suit, and after making Molly promise not to laugh, she showed it. Molly said that the bathing suit didn't matter.

In the room with the swimming pool, Peter was taking pictures. Luna was watching, and was shocked when he took a picture, and the models disappeared. It was definitely the Negaverse.

Luna ran to the dressing room, and told Serena about it. She suspected Peter, and Serena said that Luna had been staring at too many flashbulbs. Luna said to move, or have a shredded suit. Molly asked Serena who she was talking to, and Serena said her reflection. Haruna got up, and snapped the back of her bikini bottom. Outside the room, Serena called Amy, and said that Luna was losing her mind. Luna told Amy to stay tuned. As Serena was about to go into the pool room, Luna jumped up, and snatched one of the bows off Serena's suit. Serena ran after her.

Luna lead Serena to the pool room just in time to see Peter take another picture. Miss Haruna, Molly, and others disappeared, and Serena was scared. Peter's energy began to build, and Serena told him to stop. Peter was about to take a picture, and Serena stood bravely, and told him directly not to press the shutter. Serena left.

"MOON PRISM POWER!!!!"

Sailor Moon dodged as Peter pressed the shutter, and a small ball of energy shot by. Peter continued to fire at Sailor Moon, and Sailor Moon charged him. She kicked the camera out of his hand, and it landed in the pool. A monster rose out of it. It was grotesque. It had an eye in its hand, and was predominately brown. The monster fired a beam of light at Sailor Moon, and hit Peter instead. Peter disappeared, and was made into a picture. Luna told Sailor Moon that if she was hit, all they would have left of her was a lousy snapshot. Sailor Moon dodged attack after attack, and was missed by a hair. Just as Sailor Moon was about to be hit, Luna got in the way, and was hit. She was picture. Sailor Moon demanded their return. The monster was about to get Sailor Moon when Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars appeared.

"MERCURY BUBBLES BLAST!!"

A fog ensued. Sailor Mars tried to hit the Monster with her Fireballs Charge attack, but the monster was quick to retaliate. It got Sailor Mars and Mercury.

The monster and Sailor Moon knew that she was a goner. Sailor Moon was backed into a wall. She was trapped. She looked back at the wall, and noticed something. The wall was covered with a mirror. The monster fired at point blank, but Sailor Moon anticipated it, and leapt up into the air. The shot from the monster reflected off the mirror, and hit it, causing the eye in its hand to fall out. The monster was almost 2-D, and Sailor Moon wanted to get her friends back.

"MOON TIARA MAGIC!!!"

The monster was destroyed, and the people were returned.

At Nephlite's, the small orb in the middle of the solar system display stopped. Zoicite appeared, and told him he had failed. Nephlite said that his next plan would work, and Zoicite asked how. He said that he had two of the Sailor Scouts captured, so they weren't invincible.

At Serena's, her family watched, as the news showed an interview with Peter Fisher. He said that he called the contest off, and that he would photograph moonscapes. He said that he got inspiration from a girl from the Moon. Meanwhile, upstairs, a dream with a famous young girl was being dreamed.
