Serena was frantically searching through her house. She was looking for something to feed to her friends, who were up in her room with Luna and Artemis. Her hopes were suddenly raised as she spotted a pie just finishing in the oven. She took it up to her friends, and presented it to them. The cats and the girls were nervous, but Serena assumed that her mom had made it, because she had been asking for baked goods.

"The last thing we need is to come down with food poisoning before the big exam." Amy said. Mina nodded.

"Hey! Now what is that supposed to mean?!" Serena said. Lita dismissed the matter, and quickly handed out pie slices. They each ate happily, and it tasted good.

"This apple pie's really good!" Mina said. "It's great! It has real apples in it!" Amy laughed to herself.

"Well, Mina," replied Lita, "I guess Serena's mom was all out of the fake ones." Raye nodded. Just then, Rini walked in, asking where the pie in the oven was. She saw all the girls freeze in the middle of eating it.

"I made that almost by myself!" Rini shouted.

"Oh, we didn't know." Lita said.

"We just shouldn't have had any." Amy added.

"Now what am I going to do, Serena?" Rini said with a look that could kill. Mina told Serena that she should have asked who the pie belonged to first.

"There will be justice." Raye said with nobility. "On behalf of the planet Mars, I shall punish you Serena, for stealing a pie!"

Raye flicked Serena, and Serena fell backwards.

"I'm blaming you, Big Hair!" Rini cried. "I made it for Masanori!"

"And who's Masanori, Rini?" Serena asked with a sly look. Rini stuttered and ran out of the room. She grabbed her supplies and ran to her art class. The girls asked where she was going. "She's going to her art class over at the school." Serena said. "She's going to learn how to make sculptures. Part of her training to be well-rounded."

Lita finished her pie piece. "Sounds like she's made a friend at the art class."

"The apple pie says to me this Masanori is more than just a friend." Luna said. "She went to a lot of trouble to make it, don't you think?"

Lita and Raye agreed. Amy wondered if they should eat the pie. It didn't seem to matter anyway, as only one piece was left. The girls left it to Serena to smoothe things over with Rini.

Meanwhile, Rini was running as fast as she could to her art class. As she rounded the final corner, she spotted Masanori standing by the front gate. He was holding a large bouquet of roses. Rini stopped and hid behind a garbage can to see what was going on. Just then, Michele came up the street, and Masanori walked to her. He gave her the flowers, and she thanked him.

"I chose the red ones because they're supposed to be the most romantic." Masanori said. Michele was taken aback. Rini in the meantime, fell into the pits of despair.

"That was very thoughtful." Michele said. "I appreciated it." She bent down and kissed Masanori on the cheek. Rini fumed with anger. A can fell off the garbage can, and Michele looked to see the source of the noise. She said hi to Rini, and said that they had to get to class. Masanori followed Michele into the classroom with a wide, stupid grin on his face.

Inside, all the classmates were sculpting different things. Masanori was sculpting a statuette in the form of an angel. Rini was making something different. Rini sighed to herself and blushed. No one saw Serena and Luna appear in one of the windows, looking in on them. Serena wondered why they had to spy on Rini.

"She baked that apple pie." Luna replied sternly. "You took it, ate it, and ruined the surprise for her friend. You should make sure if she's alright." Serena grudgingly went into the class.

Meanwhile, Rini was trying hard to sculpt what she wanted, but couldn't seem to get it right.

"Tell me what it's supposed to be, Rini." Masanori said, looking at it. "A vase?"

"No." Rini said, giggling and blushing. "It's not supposed to be a vase, it's a Purity Cup thing, and I saw it in a picture in my mom's room: There's a moon and a crown on the top, and jewels all around it. I wish I could have something like that."

Masanori took a piece of clay and pushed it onto the sculpture. Within seconds, he had constructed the top half of what Rini wanted her cup to look like, and he was suggesting beads to make the jewels.

"You have the best ideas, Masanori!" Rini said.

"Well, not really." Masanori replied humbly. Just outside, Serena and Luna were skulking around the premeses. Rini was busy thinking about how handsome Masanori was, and Serena spotted Michele washing her hands, wondering what she was doing there.

"It looks to me like she might be the art teacher." Luna replied. She and Serena ducked out of sight as Michele headed back into the class.

"Masanori, Rini should be doing her own work." Michele said. "People learn faster when they do things by themselves."

Masanori blushed. "Oh right, I'm sorry." He said. Rini growled at Michele. As Michele walked away, Masanori looked on with hearts in his eyes, and Rini was silently telling Michele to back off. Outside, Serena saw the two together, and suddenly had a plan. Masanori worked hard on his statuette, carving the face into the likeness of Michele.

Meanwhile, Dr. Tomo was placing a call. The reciever on the other end told him that his pizza was on the way. After he hung up, he called Eudial. After a long pause, he asked Eudial if she had a new target. She did, and he prepared a Heart Snatcher in his oven device using a sculpting set. Eudial received the Heart Snatcher, and was on her way.

"I've been looking all over town, but haven't been able to find Eudial yet." Amara said. She was with Michele at the art class.

"Great." Michele said. "Maybe I can work on my painting without interruption then."

"Hey, where'd you get the roses?" Amara asked, spotting the vase.

"From someone." Michele said.

"From Mike?" Amara asked. Michele laughed. "Well, I just thought that you and Mike might have gotten back together."

"No, that's over." Michele replied, returning to her painting.

"Well, let me see." Amara said. "I know your type: They have to be smart, well-dressed, athletic, rugged.."

"Ah, you think I've seen one of those." Michele said. "And you're acting jealous now."

Amara smelled the flowers, and asked Michele who the mystery man was, saying she wasn't jealous.

"You're jealous." Michele teased. "He's just a student, but you're not jealous of someone in my class!"

In the class, Serena appeared, much to Rini's dismay.

"Just call me the Cupid of Love, at your service!" Serena said. Luna sighed to herself.

Rini stepped on Serena's foot hard. "Stop embarrassing me!" She shouted. Serena yelped in pain.

"Rini, is she your sister?" Masanori asked.

"Yeah, I guess you could call her that." Rini replied. Serena tried to get the two to hold hands, but Masanori ran for it. Rini threatened to step on Serena's other foot. Just then, Eudial's car crashed through the classroom wall.

"Don't panic!" Eudial shouted. "My radar told me there was no one in the way!" She stepped out of her car. Masanori dug himself out of a pile of tables, and asked Eudial who she was. Eudial's answer was to take out her gun, and hit Masanori with a blast, which extracted his Heart Crystal. Masanori fell to the ground while Rini and Serena watched. Meanwhile, Michele reluctantly ceased painting.

"Well, I guess I just have to put my painting on hold again." Michele said.

Amara pushed a window open. "But you can't be upset about it." She said. "We have our mission, and that must always come first."

"URANUS STAR POWER!"

"NEPTUNE STAR POWER!"

Eudial picked up Masanori's Heart Crystal. She was almost certain it would turn into a treasure that she was looking for. Before anything could happen, she saw the forms of Sailors Uranus and Neptune. Eudial, frustrated, called forth her Heart Snatcher.

"Let's get them!" Rini said, starting to climb out of the tables.

"Hold on, Rini." Luna said. "You can't transform yourself here, you'll reveal everything."

Rini just dashed out at Eudial, and bit her arm. Eudial cried in pain, and Rini grabbed Masanori's Heart Crystal. Eudial demanded the Heart Crystal's return. Suddenly, Uranus quickly grabbed the crystal and inspected it. She found nothing, and Masanori's Heart Crystal was returned. Eudial promptly hopped into her car and sped off. The Heart Snatcher opened its smock, revealing row upon row of chisels and sharp sculpting tools. It three volley after volley at Uranus and Neptune.

"We don't have the advantage in here, do we?" Uranus said. She and Neptune flipped over the Heart Snatcher, barely dodging three more sharp tools, and ran into the bushes outside. The Heart Snatcher ran after them. Serena and Luna came out of hiding. Luna told Serena to go after the Heart Snatcher. They ran out. Rini made sure Masanori was okay, and ran after them.

"I've found my princess." Masanori said weakly.

"MOON PRISM POWER!"

"MOON COSMIC POWER!"

Sailor Uranus jump kicked the Heart Snatcher into a wall. The Heart Snatcher created a monster out of dirt and sent it after Uranus. The monster grabbed Uranus by the throat and charged into the bushes. The Heart Snatcher created a giant monster and sent it stomping after Sailor Neptune. As Neptune ran, she hurdled a bench. The monster tried to hurdle the bench, but crushed it beneath its feet. The Heart Snatcher laughed.

"I'm Sailor Moon, and in the name of the Moon, I shall punish you!" Sailor Moon shouted, as she arrived.

"I'm Mini Moon, and I'll punish you too! Take that, Paint-By-Number Face!"

Sailor Moon and Sailor Mini Moon leapt off of their perch.

"Sailor Moon Kick!"

The kick didn't connect, however. The Heart Snatcher threw something on the ground and it caused a black pillar of energy to appear. The two sailors flew into the pillar and were pinned to the ground. Meanwhile, Neptune ran from her monster, and jumped onto a tree branch. The monster that was chasing her ran underneath her and fell into a nearby river. It dissolved in the water. Uranus rolled out of the bushes, fighting with her monster. Neptune told Uranus about their weakness to water, and Uranus was able to flip her monster into the river. It dissolved. The two began to approach the Heart Snatcher, who was backing down. Knowing the Heart Snatcher might also have a weakness to water, Neptune attacked.

"WATERS OF NEPTUNE, DEEP SUBMERGE!"

The power of Sailor Neptune's attack hit the Heart Snatcher, which loosened up the consistency of the Heart Snatcher's body. Sailor Moon and Mini Moon were freed from the pillar. Uranus told Sailor Moon to attack.

"PINK SUGAR HEART ATTACK!"

Sailor Mini Moon held out her wand, but nothing happened. The Heart Snatcher, Sailor Moon, and Mini Moon looked at it, and it suddenly started pelting the Heart Snatcher in the face. Sailor Moon got ready.

"MOON SPIRAL HEART ATTACK!"

The sculpting set was returned to normal, and the Daimon pod was broken. Uranus and Neptune went on their way. Sailor Moon and Mini Moon looked on.

"They're funny, but I know one thing about them." Mini Moon said. "They're way more reliable than Sailor Moon."

"How can you possible say that?!" Sailor Moon exclaimed.

That evening, Rini and Masanori were walking across a bridge holding hands. They stopped.

"Well then, Miss Rini." Masanori started.

"Thanks for being polite," Rini said, "but you can just call me Rini if you'd like."

Masanori agreed, and said goodbye. Before he left though, he handed Rini a gift. Inside, was a small statuette. It was in Rini's likeness. She thanked him, and smiled widely as he left.

"There you are, Rini." Serena's voice suddenly said. Rini turned around and saw Serena, Amy, Raye, Lita and Mina, all standing there. Luna and Artemis were there too.

"It's so exciting! Rini has a boyfriend!" The girls chimed out in chorus.

"You're right." Rini said, giggling.

Serena stepped forward. "Rini," she began, "I think you should thank me this time, because without my help, you two wouldn't have been able to build such a close relationship so quickly!"

"What do you mean?" Rini asked, angrily. "Things were working just fine until you showed up to embarrass me!"

"I have to agree with that." Luna said. Serena hit her on the head. Rini told Serena that she was owed an apple pie.

"I thought you would have given that up by now!" Serena said in shock. Lita offered to make one, but Rini didn't think it was enough. Raye lent in her thought that it was all Serena's fault.

"Serena, you took the pie without asking, so I think you should bake another one." Amy said.

"You guys ate it too!" Serena said, sinking to her knees.

"Well, what are you waiting for, Serena?" Rini asked sternly, raising her hand.

The girls laughed as Serena screamed and grabbed onto a lamp post. Rini tried to get Serena down to pay her back for the pie.
