Nehelenia summoned her subject. Faithfully, Zirconia appeared before her. Nehelenia was getting impatient, and needed the Golden Mirror. She wasn't interested in Zirconia's stories, or excuses. She was interested in results.

The Amazon Quartet were enjoying time in their playroom/spa, or whatever it was. ParaPara wanted to play, but the others refused her, and dismissed her as childish. Zirconia came in and wondered why the girls were relaxing when they hadn't even done anything. The Quartet told him that they used massages to give them ideas. Just then, Zircon came in. Zirconia asked him for a picture of the next target, but Zircon didn't have one. The Quartet laughed at the flying eye creature, and teased him. Finally, Zirconia yelled at the girls to be quiet.

"Okay, so I'll play by myself." ParaPara said, ignoring the happenings. Zirconia and the rest of the Quartet looked and watched her play. She was playing with two dolls and a small dentist office, made just for her toys. ParaPara played out a story between the female patient, and the handsome dentist.

"Help, please! Owie!" Said the patient.

"Let's take a looksie." Said the dentist.

"Ah! Ooh! Make it better! Kiss my owie away! Please, doctor. I can't stand it anymore!" The patient said.

"Fine, then we'll just have to yank it out!" Replied the doctor.

"ParaPara?" Zirconia said. ParaPara looked at him. "What are you doing?" He asked. "And where did you get such tiny humans?"

"They're my dollies, Zircsy!" ParaPara replied. "I'm playing all by myself, just like the others told me. Aren't they cute? This is Priscilla Patient, and this is Dreamboat Dentist."

With that, ParaPara went back to her story.

"My tooth really hurts!" Priscilla cried. "Help me!"

The girls just sighed. ParaPara was embarrassing them, and they didn't think she could do a mission.

"Please Dreamboat Dentist, drill my tooth to the root!" Priscilla pleaded of the dentist.

"No way, Priscilla! Drilling teeth is out." Dreamboat Dentist said. A surprisingly evil look appeared on ParaPara's face. "We've got a better technique. It doesn't even require a pain killer, so you won't feel a thing!"

With that, ParaPara grabbed hold of the Priscilla doll, and proceed to pull its head off. CeleCele, JunJun, VesuVesu, and Zirconia all stared at the wretchedly disturbed scene. It was even too disturbed for them. Zirconia had an idea. He suggested to ParaPara that she use her dolls to help find the Golden Dream Mirror. Convinced it would be fun, fun, fun, ParaPara went on her way.

Serena and Rini had a sugar-filled night. Lemon pie, ice cream, and all donuts, and all sorts of sweets. Ikuko told them to brush before they went to bed, but the two just snickered, because if they brushed, then the sweet taste of the donuts would be gone.

Meanwhile that night, ParaPara carried her toy dentist office to an empty plot of land. She used the power of her 'Illusion Ball' to make her toy dentist office into a real one. Then, taking out a bag of sugar, used her powers to spread an evil spell all over Tokyo.

The next day, the girls were enjoying a day at the park. They played catch for a while, then sat down. Rini was the only one not partaking in the activities.

"Come on, Rini, why don't you come and play?" Darien asked.

"My head's hurting me." Rini said.

Rini didn't want to miss Lita's delicious fudge cakes. Lita suggested that ice cream would help deal with the headache. Rini got herself a double scoop, and took a bite. Rini shrieked in pain, much to the girls' surprise. Amy, just happening to carry a small dental mirror, looked at Rini's teeth. All of them had huge cavities in them. Mina and Serena tried to scare Rini, telling her that the cavities are small bugs that hack away at your teeth. Then, Rini wouldn't be able to eat food ever again.

Rini cried for Darien's help. She didn't want to have bugs in her mouth. Serena cackled evilly, when the girls said Rini should go to the dentist. Amy checked out Serena's teeth, and found the same condition as Rini. Serena shrieked and cried like a small child. Mina recounted a time a girl went to a dentist, and was never seen again. Serena was even more frightened.

Darien drove the two girls home that day. When they went inside, their mother was waiting there, with full knowledge of their tooth problems. She sent them off to the dentist. They arrived at a dental clinic that was on the way to the Downtown clinic. It had a huge lineup out front, and the sign read that it was pain free. Just then, a handsome dentist came up to them, and asked them to fill out some forms. Serena blushed, and almost swooned over him, much to Darien's disapproval. Inside, the beautiful nurse, looking not unlike "Patricia Patient", asked how many were needing to see the dentist. A blushing Darien said she could count him in, much to Serena's disapproval. Darien meekly decided to wait outside. The two girls went on.

The nurse opened a large double door, to reveal a room filled with sweets of all sorts.

"Serena, you know you're the only Meatball head for me!" Darien said, practicing his apology. He knew how jealous and angry Serena would be. Every line he rehearsed sounded worse than the last.

"But, it's not fair that she can drool all over Bob, but I'm gonna get an earful about the assistant for weeks on end." He said, sighing heavily.

Inside, Serena and Rini were shown to the dentist's office. The dentist, Bob, showed them to their chairs. The girls giggled excitedly in their colorful chairs. From behind an aquarium in the wall, ParaPara hoped that the two girls in the chairs would provide the Golden Dream Mirror that she hadn't found in the pile of children at her feet.

Back outside, Darien practiced his last line to apologize, but it didn't work. He just resolved to take her out for milkshakes. Darien suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute." He said. "There were so many people going in today, but no one has come out. I got a bad feeling about this. Really bad."

Inside, the two girls were suddenly restrained into their chairs. ParaPara came in, balancing on her ball, and aimed her pool ball and cue at Serena. ParaPara used "Eenie Meeny Miny Moe" to select one of the girls as her target. Before she could fire though, a rose flew through the air and hit her, knocking her off her ball.

"Who did that?" ParaPara asked.

"I did!" A voice shouted. "I'm Tuxedo Mask, defender of innocent victims and dreams! It's cruel to give them the sugar buzz of a lifetime, then ruin it!"

A frightened ParaPara sent the dentist and assistant to attack Tuxedo Mask. Tuxedo Mask showered them in rose pedals, which temporarily blinded and immobilized them. While their attackers were at bay, Tuxedo Mask freed Rini and Serena, and they left the room to transform.

"MOON COSMIC ACTION!"

Tuxedo Mask knocked the two attackers back down, and ParaPara was on her ball. She kicked her ball at Tuxedo Mask, knocking him to the ground. She stood on the ball, and sat on it.

"With a little more practice, you can balance it on your nose." ParaPara said.

"But no amount of practice will make you a good playmate!" A new voice shouted. ParaPara looked at the doorway, and there were two Sailor Scouts.

"We're the Sailor Scouts, defenders of dreams!" Sailor Moon shouted.

"We won't let you ruin people's sweet dreams!" Sailor Mini Moon added.

"You know the drill?"

"This is the part where you better get lost!"

"I am Sailor Moon!"

"And I'm Sailor Mini Moon!"

"And we're gonna send you packing, in the name of the Moon!"

ParaPara wondered if that meant that they weren't going to play dolls. Disappointed, she called her Remlis. It was like a large toothpaste tube with a drill bit for a tail. It pinned the Sailor Scouts to the wall with sharp drill bits. Tuxedo Mask was held down by the dentist and assitant. With everyone in their place, the Remlis took its tail, and activated the drill. It drew the drill close to Sailor Moon's mouth, and teased her with it. Finally, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini Moon gave in to their fears, and shrieked as loud as they could. The resulting sound was deafening. The room shook, and the aquariums all along the walls shook violently. The glass broke, and water poured out of the cracks. The walls cracked too, allowing the Sailor Scouts to escape. They both wanted to end the attack.

"My friend Pegasus, protect people's sweet dreams!"

"CRYSTAL TWINKLE BELL!"

"MOON GORGEOUS MEDITATION!"

The Remlis was effectively destroyed. ParaPara, hurt that the Sailor Scouts ruined her fun, retreated. The office disappeared, leaving only a pile of toys, and two dolls - one with its head broken off.

Some time later, all the children that had been captured in the building awoke, to find that their cavities had disappeared. Serena cheered, thinking hers were gone too.

"Here, let me look." Darien said. Serena, thinking of it as a romantic advance, got ready to kiss her loving boyfriend. Instead, Darien pried her mouth open, and inspected her teeth.

"Those holes are real." Darien said. "Sorry."

Both of the girls panicked at the thought of having to see a real dentist. They also knew that their mom would check their teeth when they got home. They had to go to the dentist. They went to what looked like a dilapidated old clinic, with an evil-sounding dentist holding a drill. The two girls screamed that they would change, and never eat sweets again, and floss everyday.

And so should you.
