| Momo, Chibi-Usa and Kyusuke went to the Embassy where Ririka
said she lived. |
The courtyard of the Embassy was very ominous. The
gardens were filled with the yellow flowers that Ririka liked so
much. The three friends knelt down to examine the flowers. |

 |
| "Wahh!" A hand touched Chibi-Usa on the
shoulder. It was Ririka. |
Inside the house, Ririka laughed. "Me? A

"Mmm, they're good," said Momo.
Chibi-Usa looked sheepish. Ririka smiled.

"Dummy!" Chibi-Usa berated him.

"What is it?" asked Kyusuke as Chibi-Usa stifled a
scream.

They peeked into the room again and saw Momo and the
missing boys lying unconscious, but Ririka was gone. Chibi-Usa and
Kyusuke ran into the room.
