Afterschool, Serena chatted with Lita. "I'm too hungry to go to the study session."
"I'm making roast beef sandwiches for everyone," Lita tried to entice Serena into studying.
Her eyes widened. "Really? Great! It's nice to have a friend who's talented at cooking."
"My cooking isn't talent or anything. Since I'm not very feminine, I have to be good at cooking. That's why I try very hard."
"Even if you can't cook, you're very feminine."
"Thank you."
"It's true. When I first saw you, I thought you were so cute."
"That's going too far," Lita laughed.
Erica sped down the street on her motorcycle, thinking to herself. She headed directly for Serena and Lita. Finally she noticed them and skidded to a stop. Lita dove and pushed Serena out of the of the motorcycle.
Erica rushed to the Lita and Serena. "Are you okay? I'm sorry. Are you injured?"
Serena sat up. "I'm all right."
They looked to Lita who was bleeding slightly. Lita was in a trance and she just stared at Erica.
"I was thinking and not paying attention," Erica explained. "There's no excuse, I'm at fault." She turned to Lita. "You were very brave to think of your friend."
Lita just stared as Erica used her scarf to bandage Lita's wound. Serena noticed the Lita stared. Erica left.
"Thank you for saving me," Serena said. "Lita, no matter how cool Erica is, she's still a girl."
"Of course," Lita replied.
Later, Michelle floated in the sports club pool. She was remembering a past conversation with Erica.
"We have to find the Messiah," Erica said. "The talisman, which is the key to the world, is locked in three pure souls. I'll get it for sure."
"Even if you have to sacrifice the owner of the souls?" Michelle asked.
"Even if I have to sacrifice the owners of those souls."
"For world peace?"
"For world peace."
Michelle climbed out of the pool and called Erica on a Sailor watch while Erica watched Serena, Lita, and Ami walk to school together.
"Do you know Erica's address?" Lita asked.
"What are you going to do with that address?" Serena inquired.
"I have to return her scarf."
Kaolinite hovered in the air and watched Lita. "She will be my next target." She caused the wind to blow and grab Erica's scarf from Lita's hands.
Lita ran after it. "I won't be able to see Erica without it." The scarf blew under a car in the parking lot. When Lita reached for it, a demon attached to the scarf. As Lita's hand touched it, the demon grabbed Lita.
"I'm going to steal your soul."
Serena and Ami followed after Lita. They saw the demon attack her.
"Moon Cosmic Power!"
"Mercury Star Power!" They both transformed.
"Mercury Ice Storm Splash!" Lita was freed from the demon ribbons.
"What are you doing her? Get away from that girl!" Sailor Moon yelled.
Kaolinite saw the Sailor Senshi. "Demon, leave!" Both Kaolinite and the demon left.
Erica and Michelle saw the whole thing. "Lita is the next target," figured Erica. "I couldn't tell if that was the talisman. Sailor Moon got in the way."
"Why don't we tell them everything and fight together?" Michelle suggested.
"The Silence is coming." Erica shook her head. "To prevent that, we have to sacrifice three people. Do you think they can do that?"
"What are you going to do?" Michelle asked.
"They'll come after her again. We have to keep an eye on her."
Serena went to Lita's classroom so they could walk home together. "Where's Lita?" she asked one of her classmates upon not seeing her friend.
"Lita? She already left."
Serena ran from the class and into the parking lot. She caught up with Lita. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"I'm looking for Erica's scarf," Lita replied.
"Erica is a girl," Serena sang in warning.
"It's nothing like that," Lita scanned the ground while talking.
A car honked. Erica smiled from her sports car. "There you are," she said to Lita. "I'm glad I was able to meet you. Want to go for a drive?"
"Yes," Lita quickly agreed.
"She's a girl," Serena whispered.
"There's nothing wrong with girls taking a cruise around town, is there?" Erica asked. Michelle sat in the car as well.
While they were driving, Erica introduced Michelle as her classmate.
"How old are you?" Lita asked.
"Sophomore," Michelle laughed.
"Sophomore? Is it okay to drive?" Lita asked suddenly concerned.
"I got my license overseas," Erica answered. "You have very cute earrings. They suit you."
"What is it that you want?" Lita questioned.
"I want to become better friends."
Lita was surprised.
At Rei's house Serena told everyone where Lita was. "She's on a date. But the other person is a girl."
Everyone was shocked. "A girl," Rei repeated.
"Oh no," Ami moaned.
"I wonder if Lita's tastes have changed?" Mina mused.
"That's not it," Ami replied.
"The other person is Erica," Serena informed them.
"I can't laugh," Mina cried.
"No matter how cool she is, I can't believe Lita is going out with a girl," Rei said.
"That's not it," Ami exclaimed. "We shouldn't leave Lita by herself! This time the demons are after Lita's soul."
They called Lita on the communicator and found out she was at a nearby park. "We'll be there right away," Serena said.
"I'll be all right as long as I can beat up the enemy," Lita said.
"But you can't go out with Erica," Serena moaned.
"It's not like that," Lita snapped.
The demon appeared and started to attack Lita. Erica came to help Lita. "Escape! I can help myself!" Lita yelled.
The demon blasted Erica and Michelle.
"Take her soul," Kaolinite told the demon.
In the bushes Sailor Uranus and Neptune huddled. "It's going according to plan," Sailor Neptune said.
"It's too bad about the girl, but we have no choice," Uranus replied.
The demon took Lita’s soul crystal. Sailor Uranus and Neptune appeared. "Sorry we need the talisman."
"Attack!" Kaolinite shouted. They started fighting.
Lita lay on the ground without a soul. "Neptune and Uranus were hiding all this time. They watched Erica get beat up," she thought.
"That's enough. An evil one who takes a girl's pure soul! In the name of a pretty fighter, I won't forgive you."
"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" The attacks hit the demon.
Neptune found Lita's soul crystal. "This isn't the talisman."
"Please give me the crystal," Sailor Moon asked.
"We have no use for it," Uranus threw it to her. Sailor Moon returned Lita's soul to her body.
Sailor Neptune and Uranus noticed Venus and Mars were having a hard time against the demon.
"Neptune Tidalwave Submerge!" The attack blasted the demon.
"Lita, you should rest," Sailor Mercury instructed.
"I don't want to."
"Jupiter Star Power!"
"Jupiter Thundercrash Zap!" The demon staggered.
"Moon Heart Spiral Collision!" The demon died.
Sailor Neptune and Uranus were leaving. "Wait!" shouted Jupiter. "I don't know why, but you always come to steal the soul crystals, like a thief. You're the same as the demons."
"Then what are you going to do?" Uranus challenged.
"I can't forgive you. I'll pound your spirits."
Jupiter charged Uranus, but Uranus punched Jupiter. She crumpled to the ground.
As they were leaving, Neptune said to Uranus, "How childish. You didn't need to punch her."
"That girl is very strong," Uranus remarked.
Lita found Erica's scarf. Ami discovered Erica and Michelle laying in the bushes, unconscious. Rushing to them, Lita tried to help them regain consciousness.
"Is the monster gone?" Erica asked.
"The Sailor Senshi have appeared to have beaten it," Michelle remarked.
"You're arm is bleeding!" Lita spotted a cut on. She used Erica's scarf to bind it.
"Erica is very wonderful," Lita thought. "Someday I want to be just like her."
Later, the other girls caught Lita shopping for an outfit with a scarf.
