Canadian Air date: 9/20/95

American Air date: 10/2/95


Nephlite was in his house, and called upon the powers of the stars to help him find Sailor Moon's weakness. The stars presented him with the obvious: Tuxedo Mask. Zoicite appeared, and said that Beryl wanted to speak with him.

In the Negaverse, Beryl wanted to know where all energy that Nephlite had promised her was. Nephlite said that the Sailor Scouts kept getting in his way, and Beryl said no excuses. Zoicite said that she could help, and Nephlite warned her to stay out of his way. He told Beryl of his next plan. He was going to disguise himself as Tuxedo Mask. Sailor Moon's foolish love would blind her to any danger.

Serena came home, and saw a love letter for her in the mailbox. She ran to her room, and read it. It was from Tuxedo Mask. Luna was suspicious, but Serena was excited.

At school the next day, Serena was depressed to find out that everyone in her school had gotten letters from Tuxedo Mask. Molly hoped that it was Maxfield Stanton. Miss Haruna came in, and cleared up the matter immediately. She asked who had gotten invitations, and she said that she was to be a chaperone. She turned around to write on the board, and was angry because she didn't want to spend her Friday night like that.

Amy was in the middle of gym, as made apparent because of her outfit, and Luna was talking to her. She asked why Tuxedo Mask would send letters to every girl in school, and Amy said that they would see Raye.

At the arcade, Darien tried to get a small Tuxedo Mask doll. It dropped from the crane on the game he was playing, and Andrew asked why he tried to get it. Darien said that he liked the cape. Serena came in, and was depressed. She told them about the letters, and began crying, putting Andrew and Darien in pain.

Raye apologized to Amy, as she had not had any visions. Amy said that she and Luna would take care of it.

Maxfield was in a building, and was approached by Molly Baker. She asked him if he had sent the letters, and he said no. He sensed a strange force from Molly, and she said that she must've seemed silly. Maxfield said that a mystery meeting sounded romantic, and that he hoped to see her at the tennis tournament the following week. Molly knew it was Maxfield.

Outside, Molly couldn't get Maxfield out of her head. He seemed to call out to her.

"Molly... I'm so glad we met again. See you tonight. Don't be late."

Molly had no intention of procrastinating.

Serena was in her room, and read that the invitation said to be at the mall by nine. Serena planned to be there before anyone else, to find out why he invited all the girls. She now will list off the rules for looking and feeling good on a date.

"First, I need my best outfit, and coolest socks. That's rule number one."

"Rule number two: Fix the hair. Looking pretty hot!"

"Now, for a bit of perfume. That was rule number three."

"Rule number four, scrub those glossy whites!"

"And lastly, wicked fuchsia pink lipstick."

As usual, she pictured herself kissing Tuxedo Mask.

That night, at the mall, Molly arrived, and went in. She called out to Maxfield, and Nephlite appeared, dressed as Tuxedo Mask. He asked her if she was with anyone, and she said that she didn't need anyone with her to say what she had to say. He said that he was interested in hearing it, and Molly urged him closer. Nephlite knew it was a trap, and said,

"Do you think I'm stupid, Sailor girl? I know who you really are!"

He told Molly to admit that she was Sailor Moon.

Meanwhile, Serena had arrived, and was about to call Amy, when Amy called her. Serena told her that she was headed for the mall, and Raye heard it.

"She's going to be there an hour before anyone else! Come on, We've gotta go."

In the mall, Molly said that she didn't know Sailor Moon. Nephlite asked what the strong force he felt from her was, and she said it was her love. Nephlite heartlessly took the energy of Molly's love, and she fainted. Serena saw it, and knew it was the Negaverse. She called upon Sailor Moon.

"MOON PRISM POWER!!"

He was walking down the street. Darien felt strange, and his body changed. He ran to Sailor Moon's aid.

Sailor Moon appeared, and Nephlite said that it was about time. Sailor Moon charged Nephlite, and kicked the hat off. Nephlite returned Molly to Sailor Moon, and then rose into the air. Sailor Moon told him to take off his mask, and he said that once he told her who he was, he'd have to get rid of her. Sailor Moon stood her ground, and Nephlite revealed himself. He created a void of space, and multiple images of himself appeared. They formed the Leo constellation, and a lion appeared. It charged after Sailor Moon, and she ran. Her retreat stopped when she tripped, and as the lion was about to pounce on her, a red rose hit it in the face. In an elevator doorway was Tuxedo Mask. He told Sailor Moon that he hadn't written the notes, and Sailor Moon said that she would never doubt him.

"Mind if we test that theory?" Tuxedo Mask said.

Sailor Moon said that he could go right ahead, and she ran. As the lion loomed over Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Moon realized that she should be helping, and hit the lion.

"MOON TIARA MAGIC!!!"

The lion was hit, and knocked backward. The two ran into the elevator. At least they were safe. Then Nephlite came over the speakers, and told them that he planned to drop the elevator, and it began to rise. Sailor Moon tried to tell Tuxedo Mask that she cared for him, but rejected the idea. Sailor Moon thought to herself that it was romantic fighting evil with him, and snapped out of it when Tuxedo Mask found a way out. They climbed out a trap door on the top, and when the elevator stopped, they jumped to a ledge and hung on. Below, Nephlite heard the elevator crash, and laughed.

Sailor Moon told Tuxedo Mask not to drop her, and he said he had never let her down before. He told her to think of something else, and she asked him why he always saved them. He said that it was his mission. He stepped on a ledge, and she began to say that the Sailors thought he was dreamy. She asked if he had a planet, and an Earth name. Maybe they even knew each other. Suddenly, the sign that Tuxedo Mask had stepped on broke, and they were about to fall. As they did, the door opened, and they were pulled up by Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mars.

On the roof, Sailor Moon said that the mask Sailor Mars was wearing was an improvement. Mercury said that they were a team, and Tuxedo Mask said she was right. He disappeared, and the Sailor Scouts looked for him. He was just below.

"Those Sailor Scouts are going to be the end of me."

In the Negaverse, Nephlite was told that his plan failed. Zoicite said all he got was the energy of a person, and Beryl said that it was very powerful. Zoicite asked if Beryl was going to punish Nephlite, and Beryl threatened to punish her for questioning her queen.

Nephlite was in his house, and used the powers of the stars to wipe Molly's memory. He said that he should thank her for saving him from Queen Beryl.
